Your Words Requires Discipline To Function

Hi everyone,

Last time I wrote on how important it is to pay attention to our words because they either create life or death in our lives, and this is very important because even what we listen to could bring life or death upon us. Everything we face in our lives is as a result of what we said or what we received through words into our lives. We have power to command sickness, diseases, poverty, and every other negative things away from our bodies, the same is so with positive things. But I emphasised that there is the word which has power and authority over every other word when used accordingly, and this is the Word Himself—Jesus. This means if someone speaks a word which is not right, it can be countered using the Word of God, through the scriptures in the name of Jesus, by being led by the Holy Spirit. Today, my emphasis is on why we speak the word of God over our situation but don’t get things done. Today, this is what I’ll explain.

It is one thing to speak the word over things by moving it from one place of rest to another, but when we see things that are not right, by the using the word of God we can speak what God has declare for us over that particular situation. But there are times we don’t get to see anything happen, what could be wrong? The issue is still us, the truth is that we were born with the way the world is, with its crooked and perverse way of doing things. By receiving Jesus into our lives, we have to train our minds to allow the new way of life become our new way of doing things, by being transformed daily.

Now, the issue we have is that even though we now have the word of God on our lips, many of us aren’t disciplined, by working on our mind-set. How much do we believe what we say, and when we say it, what do we do or expect. Do we expect to see what we said manifest or do we fall back on what we are trying to change by being distracted by environmental factors?

How much do you believe in what you say? What you rest on is what your life tilt towards. As you declare a thing, you need to discipline yourself against every form of distraction to move you away from what you have declared especially when it appears not to materialise immediately. But remember, our words are like seeds that needs to be planted and watered to ensure its proper growth, and the watering should be consistent.

So, how can you be consistent? You can be consistent by thanking God for the result even before they materialise, and strengthening yourself through the word of God, not just through any part of the scriptures, but scriptures of faith which strengthens you and keep you focused, and keep doubt away. Your consistency by being fixed on what you have declared makes your word come to pass, as it guides your daily actions and thoughts.

There are a lot of distractions with the intention of changing your mind on what you have declared, but don’t forget every word you say has an effect [life or death], but it depends on where your heart lies, and this takes a lot of discipline. Nothing is impossible unless you say so, especially when it is fix on the word of God.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

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!

Your Life Depends On Your Words

Hello everyone,

As I look at everyone, I see happy people, sad people, the rich and the not so rich. I also observe some people who work so hard but have nothing to show for it. Many wonder why things seem to be working fine and all of a sudden it doesn’t work again, or for others it doesn’t work at all, and still for some things always work fine with them, and these people live among themselves, what could be wrong? This was what I pondered upon. The answer wasn’t something I didn’t know but the emphasis on how serious the answer is, is what I intend discussing with you today. Many of you must have heard of something similar to the answer before, but why not read on to learn a thing or two, or everything.

The Amplified version of Proverbs 18:21 says, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it [for death or life].” The Message Bible puts this same verse thus, “Words kill, words give life; they’re either poison or fruit—you choose.” Yeah, this verse is so familiar to you right? But have you ever meditated on it deeply, well I did and I want to share what I got again. Every word ever spoken is a command, and it is either life or death, in other words, it either gives life or death to where it is directed. Words are not meant to be spoken without reason, this was why Jesus said in Matthew 12:36 and 37, “But I tell you, on the day of judgement men will have to give account for every idle (inoperative, nonworking) word they speak. ₃₇ For by your words you will be justified and acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned and sentenced.” Words were given to us to bring life or death to anything we direct it at, it was meant to have a purpose. This implies that whatever you listen to whether through music or in any form is bringing life or death to you.

Don’t forget God Almighty created the universe with words, the truth is that nothing moves without it being commanded to do so. So, if you have a situation that doesn’t show what is good, don’t think that is the end, you have your mouth to command what you want to see, this is the power God placed on this earth which is available to man in general. Words are like seeds that grow, and just as you have some seeds that germinate immediately and some which takes a while, words likewise could behave the same way. You can see that when Jesus cursed the fig tree, (ref.: Matthew 21:18-22; Mark 11:12-14, 20-24). The Matthew’s account says the tree withered immediately, while for that of Mark it wasn’t till the next before the tree withered immediately. But both are correct, the moment Jesus spoke, the roots withered immediately, in other words, the tree died in its roots, but wasn’t noticed until the next day when Peter spoke up.

As Sons of God, when things happen in your life which are not in line with the finished work of Jesus or Who Jesus is now, counter it using the word of God, because the word of God has all authority in heaven and on earth. You speak to your situation, if you have ill health, call the name of sickness or the disease and rebuke it using the word, this is proclaiming death to the situation. The word must be used, do not relax and receive it into your life, rather use the word of God in every situation of your life by confessing life. You were not born to live the suffering life of the world, you were born to live the perfect life of Christ and that is what you are meant to proclaim, confess and believe into your life every time. You are meant to have the word of God on your heart every second of the day, counter everything that is opposes that which Christ has established in you, watch what you listen to and be careful what you say because you are to know when to proclaim life and when to proclaim death as you live your daily life.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

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!

Why is Evidence Very Important?

Hi everyone,

I observed something which is not really an observation but what is practically obvious, which is that people believe things when there are facts and figures involved to prove what is presented as facts, yes facts because facts are not always true. Now, human beings have been living their lives using facts, but the reason why things go wrong even with the use of these facts is because some of these facts do not rest on the truth. But even though many things presented by God to this corrupt generation may appear not to make sense because it cannot be proven scientifically, He ensures there are facts to prove they are true and real, and who are those to make these happen? Once again, the Sons of God who are popularly called Christians.

In The Acts of Apostles, the third chapter shows us where Peter and John were going to pray when they encountered a man crippled from birth who was a beggar, and looking unto Peter and John, Peter in the process commanded him to rise up and walk using not science, but the name of Jesus, and it worked, the man got up and walked. This was proof that it wasn’t theory that the Apostles were called to do, but practical work with evidence to show for it. Even when the authorities summoned them, Acts 4:13 and 14 says, “Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marvelled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus. ₁₄ And seeing the man who had been healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.” There was so much evidence that the name of Jesus was not theory but practicality and full of evidence.

Apostle Peter and John were unschooled and untrained, which was the first reason to disprove that something that awesome could come out of them, also, there was evidence of the man who was crippled now standing. Peter and John were full of boldness and they found out they had been with Jesus, because only Jesus could do such a powerful thing. This is why Sons of God need to prove to the world that Jesus is real through their actions in their daily lives. The scriptures says in Romans 8:19 which says, “For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the Sons of God.” This is not in the future but now, because the moment a person receives Christ as Lord of His life the person become a Son of God having the fullness of God dwelling in his being, what is left is to develop his Spirit man till he has full confidence to express Christ in his daily life.

As Sons of God, you are to live your life which is the life of Christ because this life is miraculous to the world. Don’t think you don’t have it in you, because if you say you don’t have it in you then you make God a liar or Christ is fake, but everyone born of God has the gift of God dwelling in his being and he is to express this gift as he lives. This is why there are Spiritual gifts which you are to manifest, so what is your gift? The world is waiting.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

How Confident Are You?

Happy New Week everyone,

Yesterday, I wrote on ‘How Confident Are You?’ and I also explained how many people are so confident in the wrong things and have no one telling them. Another concern was that some Sons of God who are meant to be confident on Who they believe are actually no so confident, so what could be wrong? This is what I intend to address today.

To be confident is very much awesome, but being confident in what is right is actually what is extra awesome. As Sons of God, we have the privilege of being confident in what we do because of Who we have confidence in. As Sons of God, we must always understand that it is not about us but about Him—God, because we always think we would get things wrong or get a bad result because of what we do, so we try to dodge listening to the Holy Spirit so that we don’t get to do what we are afraid of doing it.

It is normal to be timid as a human, but when the Holy Spirit lives in you and you allow Him to walk through you, there is this high level of confidence that you get, because you let go yourself and allowed Him to work. Take a look at the disciples of Jesus, who ran away when Jesus was arrested, which made one of them even deny Him, but when they received the Holy Spirit, there was a high level of confidence in them that they allowed the Holy Spirit to function through them, you can see that in the Acts of Apostles.

The truth is that the Holy Spirit doesn’t just work through you until you allow Him to, and you can only allow Him to that if you really know Who He is and His abilities in your life, and most of all when you know that the Holy Spirit is God Himself. To have confidence in a thing or a person is to know what the person is capable of doing in that particular situation, it also shows a high level of trust a person has in the thing or the person, and this is what we are to have in Jesus, and it can only come when you know Him through studying and meditating on His word and allowing the Holy Spirit work through us, this is important. 1 John 5:14 says, “Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. ₁₅ And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.” You can only achieve this when you trust and believe in Him [Jesus].

The essence of having confidence in Jesus is for us to express His life through us, thereby making unbelievers develop confidence in Jesus and less on whatever they were holding on to, because in true sense, Jesus is greater than everything that the world is holding on to, you think this isn’t true, then experience Jesus first, then you know why.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

How Confident Are You? (Introduction)

Happy Sunday everyone,

There is one thing I admire in people, and it is their level of high confidence. Confidence stands as an assurance that one has in a thing, which nothing has proven its ingenuity yet. An example is, faith, and as the NIV puts Hebrews 11:1, it says, “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” I often see people holding on to what is wrong with confidence because no one has proven to them that what they are holding on to is inferior. But then I wondered why some Sons of God aren’t confident in what and Who they believe in, the question is aren’t they sure of Who they believe in? Yeah, this happens to me at times when I want to speak to people about Christ, this level of timidity which arises. The issue is that it isn’t because we don’t know that what we hold on to is authentic, but because we don’t want to offend our listeners, we don’t want to be spat upon, thrown out of places, shouted at, or lose our friends who are unsaved or don’t have the level of understanding in Christ that you do, so what must be done? Log on same time tomorrow as I dig dipper on this topic of confidence in Christ Jesus.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

Why Is Corruption on the Increase?

Happy Weekend everyone,

I have often said that human beings have brought more harm than good to themselves in terms of trying to solve their problems by themselves. A perfect example which I tell people is the issue of crime. When there is a criminal case, extra measures are being placed in preventing crime to reoccur, but this hasn’t stopped crime, neither has it reduced it, in fact, crime keeps presenting itself in a more sophisticated way than the last time it appeared, things just get worse than before, the whole world is getting more corrupt and then I stopped to think and wondered why all these are happening, of course I knew already it came as a result of the fallen Adam, but within what is happening, what is making it increase? I found out and that is what write-up is focused on today.

The fallen nature of Adam brought what I call a lot of “side effects”, which includes: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries etc. [ref. Galatians 5:19-21]. It is established that these and more are the challenges we face, but why is increasing? I then found out that the number one cause of the increase is that men never say the truth, just about it. Men lie a lot to each other and keep trying to cover it on and on, and someone betrays the other by revealing the secret, and you try to cover it up again with money, or try to pay someone to get rid of the person, in order to protect the image you get involved in a lot of shady deals like idolatry, sorcery and many more, just because you don’t want to say the truth.

When Jesus said that when we know the truth, the truth would set us free, it wasn’t a figure of speech, it was the truth and reality that said. The government keeps on lying to the people, they embezzle money because of selfish ambitions, and all these are on the increase just because no one wants to say the truth. But the truth is that they would never know the truth unless those who know and have the truth in them share the truth. The reason why this is serious is that many Sons of God aren’t living up to their responsibility, they have no idea that the world would continue to get more rotten if they sit down and do nothing, and if they just pray alone.

When we make a prayer of intercession, we are presenting a case before God and how do you think God responds in many cases? Through the Sons of God! He has given the Sons of God the wisdom to transform the world, all we need is just instruction and guidelines on how to achieve our goals. But if we get distracted by the things of the world, by having selfish ambitions, gathering wealth to ourselves all in the name of the Lord has blessed us with all Spiritual blessings without knowing the purpose of the wealth, we would be just the same as the world.

The Lord always provides when we have a mission, for He Himself said, “I will never leave nor forsake you” [ref.: Hebrews 13:5]. Sons of God are to focus on their mission and accomplish them, the Holy Spirit is always there to guide you. Jesus is the Truth and the end of the world’s problems, in fact, He has ended the world problems, but many still live their lives as though the problems still exist. The devil is the father of lies who has polluted the world, but he has no power and cannot contend with the Truth who has all power and authority in Him—Jesus. Know whom you carry and save the world today.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

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!

There Are No Accidents

Hello everyone,

Have you ever had it in your mind to go somewhere, but due to unseen circumstances, you were forced to stay back home which made you mad about it, but then something else happened while you were at home other events happened and you then found out it was actually better to stay at home because certain things wouldn’t have been done. A lady wasn’t happy she woke up late on a Monday morning, she was up all night working on a project, she knew she would be late for work, but it turned out she was very grateful she woke up late because if she turned up early, she would have been among the victims of 9/11, that’s because she worked in one of the twin towers.

One thing we need to know is that things don’t happen by accident, there is always a reason to be at every point that you find yourself. Jesus in John 4 left Judea and returned to Galilee, but to do that He had to go through Samaria. At a point, Jesus was tired and had to rest just where Jacob’s well was. I tell you, this was no accident because Jesus had understood there was a purpose of His being at the well, if not, He wouldn’t have recognised that the woman who came to fetch water needed to be saved. So, we could say Jesus got tired at the right spot and at the right time.

Proverbs 16:9 says, “A man’s mind plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps and makes them sure.” AMP. Proverbs 19:21 says, “Many plans are in a man’s mind, but it is the Lord’s purpose for him that will stand.” AMP. You need to understand that if a thing didn’t go as you planned it, what you think is what you could achieve where you are, in other words, there is a purpose for your being where you are, rather than ranting over your failed plan. I tell you, there are no accidents, the devil doesn’t want you to achieve anything, but what he knows which he doesn’t want you to know is that there is always a purpose to fulfil at any point that you find yourself, maybe something to do, or to learn, just something, so be on the alert, for there are no accidents.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

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!

Be The Shoulder To Lean On

Hello everyone,

Sometimes I see people, people even in the body of Christ who feel too big and important, and are completely perfect physically without any challenges, they feel too Holy like they cannot make any mistakes. As a result, they look down on their fellow brothers and sisters in Christ who face issues. The Message Bible says in Galatians 6:1-3, “Live creatively, friends. If someone falls into sin, forgivingly restore him, saving your critical comments for yourself. You might be needing forgiveness before the day’s out. Stoop down and reach out to those who are oppressed. Share their burdens, and so complete Christ’s law. If you think you are too good for that, you are badly deceived.”

What we need to understand is that even though as Sons of God, our Spirit is completely the same as Christ, our soul is being perfected daily, as a result, we are being perfected, we could face challenges sometimes as we grow, one’s level of growth differs from another, that doesn’t mean those who have grown far should look down on those who are below you in level of growth, because you might be needing forgiveness or assistance soon. To say you cannot help those who are oppressed is not an attribute of Christ, but an attribute of the flesh.

As Sons of God, we are to examine ourselves daily, especially on the work we have been given which should be our focus. One thing we must understand is that to work with God can never be done with our abilities but with the strength of the Holy Spirit, which is grace because we don’t deserve it when we look at how we live, so it would be wrong of us to compare ourselves. We have a responsibility given to us by God, which should be our focus and nothing else.

Galatians 6:7 and 8 speak of sowing and reaping, and as Sons of God when we sow acts of selfishness we reap that in return, but when we sow acts of love and care of everyone around us, we get that in return. But, there are those among us who do everything to please everybody, true it is good to please everyone, but in many cases, this cannot be achieved because you are just one person. Saying ‘yes’ to one is saying ‘no’ to another, you can’t say ‘yes’ to both parties, and in the long run be full of fatigue. This is why we need the Holy Spirit for wisdom to know how to live our daily lives the right way and fulfilling our true calling and responsibility. One thing is certain, as you keep doing the good by being led by the Spirit, you will harvest a good crop if you don’t give up, or quit. And as Galatians 6:10 says, “Right now, therefore, every time we get the chance, let us work for the benefit of all, starting with the people closest to us in the community of faith.” MESSAGE.

In conclusion, we are to understand that as part of the body of Christ we are work together, strengthening one another in love, being the shoulder to rest on, because you could definitely need a shoulder once in a while, and this can only be done by being led by the Spirit and not by the flesh.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

Did You Know This About Self-Control?

Hello everyone,

There is this thing about knowledge, having a lot of it can puff a person up, in other words, the person becomes full of pride, even knowledge in the word of God puffs up, but the only way to control or prevent being full of pride especially in the word of God is to have self-control. Yes, self-control.

Self-control is a fruit of the Holy Spirit, it is an action we display after meditating on the word by being transformed by the renewal of our minds, it is not that which human beings possess naturally, it is the life and attitude of the Holy Spirit Himself found our new life.

There are several characteristics I have received from God which is in high concentration, and all of a sudden everyone seemed dumb in that area which the Lord filled me with. It was kind of normal the educate people in that area, but when education is done without being sent, it leads to pride, you feel so important what you don’t want to listen to anyone anymore. This was what happened to Lucifer the former Arch-angel. He was very close to God and given control over many things, he was very beautiful, he was called the ‘light bearer’, and many other things. Pride and iniquity was found in him which was what made him to demand the same reverence as that of God and even higher, in other words being jealous of God, but he was banished because his intentions weren’t clean, pure and of God, (ref.: Isaiah 14:1-15; Revelation 12:7-9).

Self-control in a good sense, implies that you are conscious of what God has called you for and using what God has endowed you with according to how He wants you to use it, thus understanding that you were endowed for a reason which you are to accomplish, as a result of this, humility grows in you, and this was what Jesus did, He was endowed with so much power here on earth, but didn’t do anything without being led by the Spirit, (ref.: John 5:19). The lack of self-control, on the other hand, is to use what you were endowed with your own way, and this brings pride. It wasn’t until the Holy Spirit called my attention the presence of pride and the importance of being led by the Holy Spirit that made me know the importance of self-control in my life.

Galatians 5:16 says, “I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.” Verse 25 of Galatians 5 says “If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.” Yes, we have that moment in our lives where we are itching to show-off what we’ve got loaded in us to the people around us, but if you are not led to use them, then stay put, or else, pride would creep in. You may think it is just a small thing, but a great tree was once a tiny seed, and if care is not taken, it could become your lifestyle, as Apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthians in 2 Corinthians 13:5, “Examine and test and evaluate your own selves whether you are holding to your faith and showing the proper fruits of it. Test and prove yourselves [not Christ]. Do you not yourselves realize and know [thoroughly by an ever-increasing experience] that Jesus Christ is in you - unless you are [counterfeits] disapproved on trial and rejected?” AMP.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

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!

Nothing Is Too Trivial

Hi everyone,

Jesus and His disciples were invited for a wedding in Cana of Galilee, then it happened that the wine at the ceremony finished. Mary the mother of Jesus immediately turned to Him and said, “They have no wine” John 2:3. I was expecting the creation of a team to quickly go in search of wine, but for Jesus to be the first person to cross your mind, that was amazing, even if I knew Jesus and that He performs miracles, I wouldn’t have gone to Him, not because I don’t consider Him important but the issue on ground is too trivial, but Mary went to Him and got results.

When we have issues in our lives, as trivial as it is, we often try to solve them by ourselves. But often times, as trivial as they are, we find do not find it easy whereas we would have consulted God first, which was what Mary did. We know that Mary knows what Jesus is capable of, and it is almost certain that Jesus must have performed several miracles for Mary in her house, we should do likewise by looking unto Him in every situation because Jesus sent the Holy Spirit who is our helper and counsellor. So, even if it is as simple as your cooking gas finishing and you don’t know what to do, consult Jesus through the Holy Spirit, for He is ever ready to help us in every situation, and there is nothing trivial to Him because He loves that we come to Him, don’t forget, He is our Father and our every help in time of need.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

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 You Didn't Know About Cain And Abel

Happy New Week everyone,

After Adam and Eve were driven out of the Garden of Eden, they had two boys—Cain the first, and his brother Abel. “Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground” Genesis 4:2. The time came both of them to bring an offering to the Lord, Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground, while Abel brought of the firstborn of his flock and their fat. As we know, the Lord respected Abel’s offering, while he didn’t respect Cain’s offering. With this story of the two brothers, we have been taught that it was because Abel brought of the firstborn of his flock, while Cain brought the fruit of what he tilled, some even say, Cain brought scrap to God, but that’s not true, what Cain brought was very good, but it wasn’t like that of Abel. Was it just the issue of the first fruit offering issue alone that made God accept Abel’s offering and reject Cain’s or there is more to the story of God’s decision? Yes, there is more to the story, and the reason is that many of us could fall into the category of Cain or maybe have already fallen, but don’t know, let me explain why.

Many think Cain’s offering was bad, but if it was why was he angry? The reason why he was angry was that he brought what he had sweat for, which he felt was presentable. The reason why Cain’s offering was rejected was simply that Cain depended on his self-effort. Cain was just like a regular businessman who goes about his business and becomes very successful and feels it was by his effort that all these came about, his waking up early in the morning, meeting that client and striking that big contract which fetched you a large amount of money and so on, many of us forget that all of our successes came from God. The Bible says in James 1:17, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.” And Psalms 24:1 says, “The earth is the LORD’S, and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein.”

We should always remember that all of your successes come to the Lord, and in so doing give Him the regard, this was what Abel understood, even though his family was pushed out of Eden, God was still with them. even though they had to till the ground, it was the Lord who made seed grow and livestock have young ones, and in giving God that respect and regard that all that he [Abel] had, came from God, he honoured Him by giving Him the firstborn of his flock, while Cain just brought a part of his crop which symbolised self-effort, there was a difference.

Another thing Cain did which is seen in today’s market is that Cain killed Abel. Now, this looks grievous, but what this means today is that Cain eliminated his competition, which looks normal right? No, it doesn’t to God. What many of us do not know is that as long as God tells us that we would succeed in a thing, it is done. To eliminate a competition implies the presence of flesh and not God’s presence. We are to understand that the story of Cain and Abel isn’t just a man respecting God by bringing an acceptable offering to God and the other bringing a non-acceptable offering, rather, one symbolised self-effort, while the other symbolised God’s effort.

Recognising God in everything is to give your life to God/Christ, thus presenting yourself as living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God, (ref. Romans 12:1). Your offering to God has nothing to do with what you bring, but with the state of your heart because everything is attached to you.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

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!

Stop Asking For What You Have Been Given (Part 2)

Happy Sunday everyone,

Two days ago, I wrote on Ephesians 3:20 and therefore explaining how the fullness of God dwells in us and how there are things which aren’t God business anymore because He has answered our prayers. Today is the continuation of the write-up of two days ago.

Ephesians 3:20 says, “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think [imagine: NIV; request in your wildest dreams: MESSAGE], according to the power that works in us.” the ability for God to do things beyond our imagination lies in us, which implies that God has fully expressed Himself in us, it is left for us to express that fullness here on earth. In other words, if we could measure the power of God by saying His fullness is 100%, we are meant to express the 100% also, but what we express is an insignificant percentage of His fullness.

When you logically analyse what God has told you to do, or what He said He can do through you, the tendency to perform below expectation arises, the reason is that to logically analyse is to think with your senses, and your senses are very limited. In one of my write-up, I said, there are so many senses, only five was given to man, this is why we cannot perceive things beyond our imagination. Our imagination seems crazy enough, but to go beyond it cannot be expressed with words.

To trust God is not a day’s job, it takes a consistent renewal of the mind, because the mind before we received Christ is completely not in alignment with the new Spirit, and the world isn’t helping either as they spread the message of doubt, fear, and unbelief. This is why an intense study and meditation and resting on the word of God is very important.

We can do all things, it is just by believing. Jesus said in Matthew 11:28-30, “₂₈ Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. ₂₉ Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. ₃₀ For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Drop everything, and follow only the Jesus through the word of God, directed by the Holy Spirit. The issue is not about God not answering your prayers, the issue is about you not believing. Now that you know God can do what man considers as impossible through you, do not logically try to comprehend it like Zacharias, who after his prayers for a son could believe when the Angel gave him the good news because it wasn’t logically accurate, rather be like Mary the Mother of our Lord Jesus who simply said, “Let it be to me according to your word.” Luke 1:38. It may look impossible, but if that is your goal and you work towards it, it is not by your power that it would be done, but by the Holy Spirit living inside of you.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

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!

Where Should Your Focus Lie?

Happy Weekend everyone,

Galatians 5:24-25 says, “And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit”. Wow, that’s wonderful, the moment I belong to Christ, I have crucified my flesh and its passions and desires, which means I am perfect in everything thing I do, I walk by the Spirit, I can never walk by the flesh, is it that easy? Yes and no, let’s find out.

A lot of us have thought that the moment we receive Christ our bad habits ends immediately, but that isn’t true in many cases. What really happened was that our Spirit, the source of our existence changed, and the new life is the life of Christ. Our actions serve as the effects of our life, in other words where our heart lies. The parable of two builders which Jesus gave us, one built his house on the rock and the other one built his house on the sand, they both faced the exact challenge, but where the result was based on their foundation, which is where their heart laid. Our lives reflect where our heart is, but how come we still have bad habits?

There was a chain smoker who received Christ into his life, even after receiving Christ as Lord, he always had the urge to smoke, the urge was too much that he kept on smoking, but he wasn’t happy deep down that as a Son of God he was still smoking, he tried and tried to stop, but the more he tried, the more he kept on smoking, what was wrong? The problem he had which he didn’t know was that now that his life had changed, he was not to focus on who he wasn’t any longer, but was to focus on who his was in Christ.

2 Corinthians 5:21 showed him how he was now the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Now, even though he didn’t know many scriptures, what he knew was that he was the now the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, and he kept on confessing it on and on even though he hadn’t stopped smoking, but as he kept on confessing that, his focus changed and grew without him knowing, guess what happened? Eventually, he just stopped smoking, his actions had started reflecting his new life.

What we need to understand is that we shouldn’t beat ourselves up when we still continue with our old habits, because that isn’t you anymore. What we should do instead is to keep confessing who we are at the moment, which is our new life in Christ Jesus. What many of us don’t know is that to cry over our old habits is focusing on it and not our new nature unknowingly and this is what the devil wants. As Sons of God, our focus and goal changed the moment we received Christ, so even if we still see our old habits still surfaces, we should keep on confessing our new nature, and with time our old habits wear out completely, so we all need to be well grounded in the word.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

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!

Stop Asking For What You Have Been Given

Hello everyone,

Ephesians 3:20 says, “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us”, this verse is very popular and I would like to take a look at it again. We all believe God can do everything, but God cannot force things to happen in our lives if we don’t allow it. As Sons of God, God has given us everything through Grace, but it is left for us to receive it through faith, and when I say everything, I mean everything. But as everything have been given, it wasn’t our wants that were given, but our needs that were given, because God would never give us what we don’t need and it is what we need that He has provided.

Now, as Sons of God, you have the fullness of God dwelling inside of you, that is all that was given to Jesus is also given to you, and remember, all authority in heaven and earth have been given to Jesus, and to receive Christ Jesus as Lord of your life implies you also have the same authority, but for those things which are exceedingly above all that we ask or think to happen it is left to us to make use of what we have, because it is according to what we release that we see happen. So there are things that aren’t God’s business anymore but ours! Log on tomorrow as I continue this topic.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

Always Trust Him

Hello everyone,

Do you have a plan, are you very ambitious? For instance, I’ve had a vision since I was about four years old, today they are goals, but have you ever left some things out on purpose when you prayed to God, thinking He might support your idea, especially when you’ve started discovering what God has called you for and it appears your vision for years doesn’t seem to fit with it. Just because you love your ideas so much, you may want to carry on with it without bringing God into the picture on that one. But the truth is that what we fail to understand is that God won’t give you some random thing to do, what He gives His children are what He knows they could do from the start because even though He is your Father, He is also your creator, who put specific characteristics in you to fit into His plans. Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” The KJV says “…to give you an expected end.”

Our Father who is God is the most merciful and gracious God who looks at what would benefit us in every way, it is left for us to trust Him with our ideas, for Proverbs 16:3 says, “Roll your works upon the Lord [commit and trust them wholly to Him; He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will, and] so shall your plans be established and succeed.” AMP. When we trust Him with our ideas, He helps us achieve our dreams even better than we expected it. Why not trust Him today and be sure of a good result, than to do things ourselves and struggle along the way. Trust Him today.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

You Need HIS Help, Don't Be Stubborn

Hi everyone,

A boy of two wanted to wear his shoes which normally needed an adult assistance, I was around to help but the boy insisted he wanted to wear the shoes himself so I allowed him, but after trying and trying to put his shoes on, it seemed impossible to do, especially with the type of shoes. He started crying because the foot won’t go in, so I offered to help, but he declined still insisting he wanted to put the shoes on himself. After trying over and over again and crying as though something more serious had happened, I snuck to help him put his shoes on easily, of which there wouldn’t have been tears of any sort in the first place. As I pictured this scenario, I noticed this is how many of us behave towards God when He offers to help us, we always tell Him we can do what we cannot do.

We often hear stories about nation rising against nations, corruption issues in nations, criminal issues, and many more, all these didn’t start suddenly, they started like a seed before it became a tree or a forest and it is because they claimed they could do it, but they couldn’t. No matter how much we try as human beings through our logic and technologies, crime rate and corruption would always be on the increase until we meet our Father—God who knows all things and can solve our problems permanently, point of correction, He has already solved our problems, it’s only for us to accept it.

The Bible says in Proverbs 16:1 and 2, “THE PLANS of the mind and orderly thinking belong to man, but from the Lord comes the [wise] answer of the tongue. All the ways of man are pure in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the spirits (the thoughts and intents of the hearts).” We need to constantly look unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith and the solution to all our problems, (ref.: Hebrews 12:2).

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

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!
