Tools Without a Holder

When God asks you to do something, don't think because you're awesome He asked you to get that thing done. As a matter of fact, you have absolutely nothing to prove that you can do it without Him. OK, you probably might be thinking, "of course we can't do it without Him". No that's not what I mean. What I mean is that many times we feel because we have a talent or gift God picked us. Nope.

Our gifts and talent are secondary. He looked at our hearts first, our commitment to things, not from the physical point of view, but the Spiritual point of view.

Apostle Paul wasn't picked because of zeal alone, that was secondary. The primary reason was that he had a humble heart, as you can see that when he said "who are You, Lord" when he was pushed off his horse on the way to Damascus, (ref.: Acts 9:5). He had nothing to brag about despite all what he acquired.

When God calls us, if you think you've got what it takes because of certain gifts or talent given to you by God, you'll end up going in circles till to give up the job.

Humility is to submit to His instructions. In other words, it is all of Him and non of you in getting the job done. No matter what degree you bagged, it is nothing before God.

The talent and gifts you found out you have are just signs of what God can use you for in that line, which implies that you are to wait for His instructions as you get ready.

The talents and gifts are like tools which are completely useless without someone using the tools for what it was designed for.

A hammer is useless on its own with being used by a carpenter or a person trained to use it, likewise anyone who has been blessed gifts or talents is nothing without being led by the Holy Spirit in humility.

Yes, you have these gifts, but without the Holy Spirit, you're going to mess things up. So, stop trying, and start listening, and He will lead you. Then, you'll see the main reason why you were given the gift or talent, because God alone know the purpose to which He created you, and what you are to fulfill through these abilities.

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!

Tongues Without Love

There are gifts given to Sons and Daughters of God by the Holy Spirit. And one of them is speaking in tongues, (ref.: 1 Corinthians 12:1-11). Now, the speaking in tongues is a language empowered by the Holy Spirit (as it is expected). The faith of any Son or Daughter of God who speaks it continually is built up. It is an undiluted word of God, grace, power and authority. However, it is not everyone who speak in tongues that fulfill this, and here is why.

To speak in tongues comes from the Holy Spirit, as I wrote earlier. However, Apostle Paul said in 1 Corinthians 13:1 says, "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal." Why is this so?

Speaking in tongues is meant to be from the Holy Spirit. So, how can there be people who speak in tongues that just speak without any meaning?

Apostle Paul said the tongues spoken without love is as sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.

The reason why this is so is that anyone who received Christ as Lord, and has been baptised in the Holy Spirit receives the ability to speak in tongues. But just as the words we speak, if the source of the tongues isn't on love, then it is as a waste of time.

Jesus said in John 15:5, that without Him we can do nothing. Our tongues must have its bearing on Christ. But if it isn't then it has no root. It is as a flower that has been uprooted, having no source of life anymore.

Also, let us remember that God is love, and love being spoken of by Apostle Paul has its bearing on God/Christ.

Show of, pride are some ways by which our tongues have no meaning. Humility by submitting ourselves to the leading of the Holy Spirit when we speak in tongues have its bearing rooted in Christ.

Tongues are powerful, as they change things. But if your purpose of speaking in tongues isn't in love, by being led by the Holy Spirit. It is as Apostle Paul said, noise making. The speaker isn't being edified in anyway.

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!

God's Economy

When we look at how things are going in the world, it's quite scary and could be worrisome. There was a pandemic few years ago, that affected the world's economy. And just when things seem to be getting back to normal a world power had earlier invaded a smaller country and thus has once again affected the world's economy. Sadly, smaller countries are really having a tough time as prices of things are just hitting the roof.

The truth is that all these shouldn't be a surprise as they are expected to happen. The world's economy has been unstable since the fall of man.

Man has lived with a scarcity mentality that they see as normal. But is this how we are meant to live?

Let's take a look at the feeding of the 5,000. As Jesus took the five loaves of bread and two fish, He looked up to heaven, blessed and broke them before sharing them, (ref.: Matthew 14:13-21; Mark 6:31-44; Luke 9:12-17; John 6:1-14).

These guys were hungry and the food available was scarce just as the world is today. But Jesus who isn’t from the economy of world, but of God's economy looked into heaven, in other words, connected Himself with His kingdom. He saw from His kingdom which is a kingdom of abundance.

Jesus blessed the bread and fish, which is an act of faith, thus allowing the bread and fish connect to the faith of Jesus, which rests on God's economy. This was why the five loaves of bread and two fish multiplied.

As Sons and Daughters of God, we have no business with the economy of this world on how we function. The economy is an economy of abundance, and as we confess the grace given to us by Jesus, faith is birthed as we believe. The Holy Spirit leads us on how to live in line with God's economy right here on earth. And then you'll find out how you lack nothing in a world of scarcity. You'll experience the grace of God in everything you do because you see through the Spirit of Jesus.

This is not fantasy but real life. God's economy is VERY REAL.

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!

Revelation and Confession

Last time I wrote on Confession, Creation and Manifestation. Our confessions are the creative abilities God gave us because we were made in image and likeness of God. Our confessions creates, and through consistent confession, it leads to manifestation.

Today, I want to look closer at a confession.

As a Son or Daughter of God, to confess isn't by natural instinct, but by the revelation from the word of God, by the Holy Spirit.

Romans 10:17 says "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." Faith comes through the revelation of the word of God. Let me explain further. Many people have heard the word the God, but nothing happened. It is only when the person receives revelation that faith gets in. In other words, revelation open door for faith to come in.

Romans 10:9 says, "that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."

In the verse above, there was first confession before belief. What this mean is that for a person to make a confession that leads to belief implies the person received revelation to confess Jesus, and the confession through revelation opens the door to activate faith which allows the person to believe.

Whenever anyone makes a confession that isn't based on revelation, faith isn't birthed, therefore there won't be belief. And revelation is gotten from the Holy Spirit after receiving the word of God into our heart. You cannot force revelation to come, but you can be committed and consistent in the word which opens the door for revelation to flow in easily.

Do not forget, confession with power is founded on the revelation from Jesus.

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!

Confession, Creation and Manifestation

I recently wrote on Knowing Your Place, where my focus was on 1 Corinthians 3:6-7 as Apostle Paul said he had planted, Apollos has watered, but it is God who gives the increase.

My focus is in line with that. The point here is knowing what the seed actually.

Hebrews 11:3 said that the entire world came to existence through the word of God. Jesus told Peter to launch out into the deep and catch fish. The fish came through the word of Jesus. The point we haven't noticed is that our words are the seeds God has given us, because man was made in the image and likeness of God, therefore we carrying His creative ability, and the creation comes through our words.

What we plant in the real sense are our words. Our words are seeds that cause creation, which is why wr are to be careful when we speak. Proverbs 18:21 says the tongue has the power of death and life. We need to be careful when we speak.

When the Lord leads us to do a thing. The way we get it done is to constantly confess the success of what we are to do. The constant confession of this leads to the tools needed in getting the job done, which in real sense is the creation. And as we continue in that light, we are put on the path that enables us to make use of the tools, and by making use of the tools, there is an eventual successful manifestation of what God has asked us to do.

One thing we must take note of is that there would be reasonable or logical distractions. Take note of what I said. These distractions and reasonable and logical. One way you can know it isn't from God is that it takes you away from the duty God has given you to carry out.

You are to constantly feed your mind with the word of God and never cease confessing till the job is completed.

The power that leads to manifestation lies on you committed and consistent confession.

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!

What Aura Do You Carry?

There is an aura people bring whenever they visit places. The aura you bring has to do with where your mind rest and the purpose of visit which springs from the where your mind rests on.

As a Son or Daughter of God, your heart is expected to rest on Jesus, because out of Him springs your new creation. It is therefore expected that the Son or Daughter of God should live the life of Christ, carrying Christ wherever they go. So, what is the aura of Christ?

The aura of Christ is simply love, which contains joy, patience, peace, gentleness, goodness, kindness, faithfulness, self-control, to name a few.

Isaiah 52:7 says, "How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good tidings, who publishes peace, who brings good tidings of good, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, Your God reigns!" AMPC.

The verse specifically notes the aura a Son or Daughter of God is to bring, and that is peace. Jesus brought peace to the world, and in so doing we are expected to follow suit. Goodnews or the Gospel is actually a message of peace, and those who carry the Gospel, are likened to a person having beautiful feet.

You are expected to be a bearer of goodnews, a person people eagerly wait to listen to or see even from the first time the you visit, (ref.: Romans 10:15; Ephesians 6:14-16).

If your visit doesn't bring glad tidings, then you aren't living your true life which is the life of Christ Jesus.

So, does your presence brings glad tidings?

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!

Wow, Like a Baby

If you think God Almighty is like an angry old man holding thunder bolts in His hands, looking for anyone who sinned to strike, guess again. Unlike the wrong impression of who God is, God actually is like a mother who cares for her baby. No matter what her baby does, she so loves her baby.

Zephaniah 3:17 says, "The Lord your God is in the midst of you, a Mighty One, a Savior [Who saves]! He will rejoice over you with joy; He will rest [in silent satisfaction] and in His love He will be silent and make no mention [of past sins, or even recall them]; He will exult over you with singing." Zephaniah 3:17 AMPC. This is a deep expression of how much God loves us, even though it is just a scratch on the surface of how much He loves us.

Zephaniah 3:17 says God is the midst of us, a Mighty One, a Saviour. What this means is that He is like a grown up who we look up to when we walk where bullies are or where wild animals are.

The verse continues saying that He will rejoice over us with joy. What this means is that our presence gives Him so much joy that He rejoices. He depicts One who treasures us so much.

The verse goes further to say that God will rest, and in His love will make no mention of our past sins nor even recall them. This show a loving Father who shows mercy and forgives, (ref. John 3:16; Romans 5:8; Ephesians 2:4; 2 Thessalonians 2:16; 1 John 4:9-10; Revelation 1:5). For Him to take note of our sins shows a disciplined Father. But even when we sin, His love overshadows them because we rest in His love.

The truth about all these is that His love toward us causes us to sin less, because all we see is His love and we grow into it.

Just like a mother is to her baby, even God Almighty does tremendously more. His love compels us to live like Him. He dances over us with singing! What a loving, caring, and great God we have.

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
