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!

What Food Can You Cook?

Many people really can't get it why their plan doesn't go right when put to use. The truth is that they really haven't calmed down to understand why they are called humans. This seems surprising right? I'll explain what I mean.

Most times many of us unknowingly focus on ourselves. Things like food, clothing, shelter, financial increase to do anything, all these just based on ourselves. Let me simplify it. All these I just listed are pointing to the person, who is the focus, and this isn't meant to be.

God made us humans, created to be social beings. This means that whatever we do must involve another person at least. This implies that as social beings, the focus in the real sense shouldn't be on us. Then who?

Everyone is born with at least a gift or talent. These gifts aren't to be expressed for ourselves, but to serve others in need of the gift you possess.

Apostle Peter said in 1 Peter 4:10, "Every believer has received grace gifts, so use them to serve one another as faithful stewards of the many-colored tapestry of God’s grace." 1 Peter 4:10 TPT.

Our gifts are for service. There will always be people in need of our service, which is why we are to be in tune with the Holy Spirit to lead to the people in need of our gift in order not to be taking a wild goose chase and getting frustrated at the end.

So, what food can you cook? In other words, what gift has God given you? There are people in real need of your gift. And do not think God hasn't taken care of your needs, as there are people who are sent by God to do so, or create the opportunity for you to get your needs met. 

He will never leave you nor forsake you, as Hebrews 13:5 says, "Don’t be obsessed with money but live content with what you have, for you always have God’s presence. For hasn’t he promised you, “I will never leave you, never! And I will not loosen my grip on your life!” Hebrews 13:5 TPT.

So, what food can you cook? There are people who are really hungry for your special cuisine.

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 Is Real? (Part 2)

Hi everyone, 

Today is a continuation from last write-up on what is actually real. My emphasis in on why Sons and Daughters of God have Jesus as their life literally, which would enable me to properly explain what actually is real.

I said yesterday that when a Son or Daughter of God is sick, the sickness isn't real, neither is poverty in their lives, nor any thing that isn't in Jesus. Why is this so? Let me explain.

The very real truth is that the earth as we know it has lost its life and is decaying. The flesh of man has lost its life also, and is decaying. So, the result of these decay has brought sickness, old age, poverty, death, in fact anything that doesn't contain life.

God told Adam in Genesis 2:17 that the day Adam eats of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, he will die. Adam eventually ate of the fruit and that he died immediately. His life became like a flower pulled out the soil, and you know the beautiful flower pulled out of the starts to die off. This was what happened to Adam, and his actions affected the entire earth.

Jesus came to redeem man from eternal death by giving us an opportunity to have a new life. And this new life is His life. How?

Galatians 2:20 says, "My old identity has been co-crucified with Christ and no longer lives. And now the essence of this new life is no longer mine, for the Anointed One lives his life through me— we live in union as one ! My new life is empowered by the faith of the Son of God who loves me so much that he gave himself for me, dispensing his life into mine !" Galatians 2:20 TPT

Anyone who received Christ Jesus as his Lord has been crucified with Jesus on the cross. In other words his or her decaying life has been replaced with the life of Jesus, (ref. Col. 3:4). Jesus is life and the life of anyone who has received a brandnew eternal life of Jesus.

Now, here's the interesting part. As Galatians 2:20b says Sons and Daughters of God live by the faith OF the Son of God–Jesus. Our existence is based of the faith of Jesus, and not in our faith because our faith in God is unstable. But the faith of Jesus is forever stable because He is life and lives in God. So, all we do is rest on the life of Jesus, and everything that is of Jesus is real, nothing else.

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 Is Real?

What is real? We wake up in the morning, we see our houses, the people around us, in fact just everything we experience. But the truth about this is that it's not everything we see that is real. What am I talking about?

1 John 4:17 says, "By living in God , love has been brought to its full expression in us so that we may fearlessly face the day of judgment, because all that Jesus now is, so are we in this world." 1 John 4:17 TPT. The Passion Translation commentary on this verse says, ""because we are what He is in this world."  The verb tense is important. We are not like Jesus was, but because of grace, we are like He is now: pure and holy, seated in heaven, and glorified. Faith has transferred His righteousness to us."

The verse says as Jesus is right now, so are we. And the we refers to those who have received Jesus as their new life, Lord and Saviour. So, before we know who Jesus is right now, let us know what is real.

When a Son or Daughter of God is told that he or she is sick, that sickness isn't real, even though it appears so real. The real reason why the sickness isn't real is because Jesus right now is perfect health defined, and remember, as He is, so are the Sons and Daughters of God. The Sons and Daughters of God cannot be poor because wealth is found in Christ Jesus, and all of Him are who the Sons and Daughters of God are. Those are what is real. But aren't the things we see on earth real?

The things which are found in the lives of some Sons and Daughters of God which aren't found in the life of Christ are because they aren't conscious of the truth that their existence is completely Christ and not what the system of this world says. So, in their spirit is the complete Jesus life, but they need to confess and believe it to activate it or else they would hold on to what isn't true and think it is real and true, which isn't real.

In my next write-up I'll explain what happened to all who received Jesus Christ as their life. There is something we all need to take note of, which would strengthen us to hold on to Jesus as our life.

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!

Don't Be Carried Away

It's a battle, I must tell you truth, this is a real battle.

The Bible says in Ephesians 6:12, "For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere." Ephesians 6:12 AMPC

We are not puppets, we were given the power to make choices, and our choices determine our destiny. No one can make a choice for you, except for where you were born which was according to the purpose, but outside that we determine our destiny by our choices.

The devil attacks us every day and night, directly or other means. But in all God has given us His authority in Jesus' NAME to overcome all the powers of the devil. This is a choice we have to make.

All the attacks we face in this world is for us to be carried away and become puppets as the people of the world who haven't accepted Jesus as their new life. This is not a funny thing, because these guys are headed for destruction, you who have received Jesus as your new life have been planted by God to rescue these people. But the devil is doing all it can to distract you not to complete your mission.

The devil distracts through our senses, as we see health issues, financial issues, marital issues, family issues and more, thus compelling us to confess these issues to life through our words.

The more we focus on these things the more we see them as real, when they're not. The very surprising thing is that when Jesus said we have perfect health, financial breakthrough, blessed children and more, those actually are the real thing, and not the opposite we see here on earth.

What we are to do is to keep feeding our spirit, and we live the life we received from Jesus. True these battles from the evil one are very real, but if we don't know Who we carry on the inside of us, we would just fall like a pack of cards to the evil one.

The last reminder as the verses said above is that all these terrible things we see through our senses aren't the real thing. The real thing is from the Spiritual evil realm, which we must overcome in the Name of Jesus.

All these are reminders on not being carried away. God bless you all.

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!

Are You Preparing For Rain?

I know I must have given the story I want to give now. So, here it goes. Two farmers prayed for rain because there hadn't been rain for planting that period and they really needed rain.

The first farmer prayed for rain from a genuine heart. The second farmer also prayed to God from a genuine heart. But there was something the second farmer did that the first farmer didn't do, he prepared his farm for rain. The question I would ask is, who really needed rain?

We all have reasons to pray to God for thing, or to declare His words out of faith. But we must always ask ourselves if we are ready to receive what we prayed for, or what we declared His words for.

The truth we must always remember is that the preparation is really the work of faith. On other words, it is the works Apostle James wrote of in James 2:26.

Our actions shows where our rest is. When we pray to God we prepare for the result at any moment by our actions. It is a sign of trust and belief.

When we don't prepare, it is a clear sign of unbelief.

Children display this trust through their actions as they prepare to receive what daddy or mummy had promised to give them. The same is done when we trust God.

So, when you pray for healing, do you prepare for that healing? When you pray for that financial breakthrough, have you prepared for it? And several things.

The truth is that as Sons and Daughters of God, God has blessed us with all Spiritual blessings, so we our job in line with these things is to prepare to receive them, because God doesn't receive on our behalf, that is our job.

So, are you preparing for rain?

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!

The Miracle of Dirt

You know I looked at dirt and was amazed over the fact that no matter how we consider it as irrelevant or trash, the truth is that no dirt should be put aside as irrelevant, because every dirt is a miracle. What do I mean? Before I go on, when I say dirt, I don't mean the trash in your home, I'm referring to soil related dirt you find outside.

In Genesis 1, when the Lord God created the heavens and the earth, when He brought land forth, there was nothing on it except dirt! From this dirt, He brought forth trees, vegetation. From this same dirt, He brought forth every type of animal. In fact, everything God made on earth came from dirt including Man, (ref.: Genesis 1:9-27).

Now, Genesis 1:26 says, "Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”" Remember God had been exercising His creative authority in the creation of the heavens and the earth. And He made man in His image, to imply that man has creative abilities as He does, but only on this earth.

The new creation has authority not only earth, but in heaven and under the earth because we carry the spirit of Jesus, (ref.: Matthew 28:18; Philippians 2:10).

So, where am I going with this? In Genesis, God didn't create buildings, cars, aeroplanes, etc. Man did all that, and where do you think he got the materials to do all that, and even more in future? Form dirt!

Dirt is a blessing from God, and we should always thank God for it. A farmer sows in dirt, and later yields a harvest.

We should always give thanks for all things. Dirt for instance is a thing to give God thanks for. Nothing should ever be overlooked. As the scripture say, in all things we are to give thanks, (ref.: 1 Thessalonians 5:18). So, what are you thanking God for?

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!

Know Your Place!

So, once again I was thinking like a regular human being, using the systems of the world, trying to see how to double income. Yes, this happens to me also, but it's wrong. And the Lord brought 1 Corinthians 3:6-7 to my mind and found out where I got things wrong.

1 Corinthians 3:6-7 says, "I planted the church, and Apollos came and cared for it, but it was God who caused it to grow. This means the one who plants is not anybody special, nor the one who waters, for God is the one who brings the supernatural growth." TPT. So, where did I get it wrong?

As a Son of God and for every Son and Daughter of God, we are not to live our lives as orphans. What's my point here? My point is that the focus of Paul was to plant, and the focus of Apollos was to water. But the focus of growth was from God.

Growth is the duty of God, and has always been. But what we keep on doing is to disturb ourselves to do the job of God. I didn't say neither Paul nor Apollos took note of the supernatural growth in the church, what I said was that, it wasn't their job or duty.

As a child of God we are to be led by the Holy Spirit to know what to plant and how to plant whatever He asked us to plant, to water whatever He asked us to water. But for the growth aspect, we are to trust and be confident that since we have done all that God has asked us to do, God would bring the growth. We must know our place.

Proverbs 4:7 says, "Wisdom is the most valuable commodity—so buy it! Revelation-knowledge is what you need—so invest in it!" TPT. Jesus who is God is our wisdom that we have in the new Spirit as being born again, (ref.: 1 Corinthians 1:30).

King Solomon sees wisdom as the most valuable commodity we are to invest in to receive revelation knowledge which we all need to live our spiritual lives. So, isn't that an amazing life? That you've got a parent who know ALL THINGS and leads you into ALL TRUTH!

Another we need to know is that God multiplies seeds that has been sown, either in business, as a church, a father, mother or child in the home, or whatever area.

Now, the most important thing to note is that these seeds or seed you have sown were led by Him, because He won't grow the works of your flesh because it's not OF Him.

Again, not everyone born of God is to plant. Some are to water what was planted, also being led by Him. As we saw what Apollos did when the churches were being grown. So, this is why we must invest in Him—Jesus, to know Him, and this is the joy of the Father which prayed of at the garden of Gethsemane, (ref.: John 17:3). And it is the only thing we can boast about, (ref.: 1 Corinthians 1:31; 2 Corinthians 10:17).

In summary do your job and the Lord will cause it to grow. So, KNOW YOUR PLACE!

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!

It Has All Been Given?

It's normal to work first before you earn right? You put your backs into it before you can earn anything. But this isn't the way it's done in the life of any who is a new creation. Anyone who is born again is a new creation, a brand new person that never existed before. And when I mean a brand new person I don't mean a person who looks completely different. What I mean is a different creation, sort of like a person who was once a cat, then being transformed to a bear. But in this case, the bear is a creature that has never been since before.

Now, back to my focus. I said the way of a new creation in living life isn't like the way of the world by working before earning. The reason is that the system of the new creation is completely different.

So, what's the difference?

In the life of any new creation, they are being led by the Holy Spirit, who is the Spirit of Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit defines the new creature into what he or she is meant to do in living the purpose God created the person for.

Now, what happens is that those who are born again is expected to live by the leading of the Holy Spirit. And as the person chooses to carry out any assignment, whatever is needed to complete the assignment is supernaturally provided either through people or any other means. It's just the James Bond story, the moment James Bond takes up the assignment, whatever he would need to complete the assignment would be provided as he is directed. A similar way is the same for those who are new creatures, they are always on a mission.

So, when certain basic things seem absent in the life of a new creature, he or she should ask the Lord what he or she is meant to do because the Lord will never leave them nor forsake them. He is always speaking to them, it is left to them hid His voice.

Everything a born again person would ever need in his or her life has already been provided. They only come in handy as they are needed. It is not a life of hustle, but a life belief, trust, faith and obedience.

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!

Spiritual Muscles

I looked at life and found out that to get anything done there must be commitment and consistency.

I remembered when I wanted to start having push ups. The very first time I ever tried it, I could barely go for just two. The strain was so much for me. But it wasn't until decided to commit myself to it. And after push myself to go further consistently that one day I was eventually able to push up to 40. It was so easy for me that I went for 40 everyday.

But when I wasn't consistent, I tried going my 50 push ups, but was able to, my muscles wasn't used to it any longer, simply because I wasn’t consistent at it.

I noticed this for studies and anything I wanted to do. It was just like building up muscles. But one thing that caught my attention was that it was the same with the Spirit, as it pertains to us.

Mark 16:17-18 Jesus said those who believe in His name would cast out devil's, speak in new tongues, lay hands on the sick to recover and more. But have you ever wondered why some believers don't function in this capacity? The answer is simple, they haven't built their spiritual muscles enough.

A person who is born again has a new spirit, and has inherited the life and characteristics of Jesus, and in so doing is expected to function as Jesus, (ref.: 1 John 4:17).

So, how do we build our spiritual muscles?

We build our spiritual muscles through the committed and consistent meditation on the word of God.

Let us understand one thing. The word doesn't imply books like those you find in school. Rather the word is living, and not just living, it is powerful, and is the very essence of God, (ref.: John 1:1; Hebrews 4:12), (To differentiate the Word and the word would be a write up for another day).

The more we meditate on the word of God we allow the Holy spirit to lead and guide us into the perfect life of Jesus in knowledge, understanding, and wisdom, which includes actions.

The more we build our spiritual muscles the more we completely drop the ways of the flesh and live the life of the Spirit completely. The more we know the word, the more we understand things like fasting, speaking in tongues, praying, praising, worship and more. In summary, the word is the foundation to everything.

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!

You're Always On His Mind

Have you ever been in a deep situation that it looks like God isn't there? To some it could be in times where everything was against you. People lied against you, when you were completely innocent. You later lost your job at the same place. It just seemed bad, and sort of like God was nowhere to be found. This is just a scenario to a person.

The scriptures says in Psalms 139:17-18 saying, "¹⁷How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! ¹⁸If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You." God has always been there, He never left us, not even for a second.

The Passion Translation puts it thus, "Every single moment you are thinking of me! How precious and wonderful to consider that you cherish me constantly in your every thought! O God, your desires toward me are more than the grains of sand on every shore! When I awake each morning, you’re still with me." Psalms 139:17‭-‬18.

God is always there in our every step. No matter what we go through He is there guiding us. We must remember that He is always there to guide us, but for to do things, He cannot force us to follow His steps. And remember the devil brings lies so real to us that we think they are real.

So, what we must never forget to do as we move on are:

He was always guiding us, so we must to listen to guidance through His word.

In line with this, we must never forget that even though God never caused the mishaps in our lives, the mishaps could be used by God to depend and trust in Him, and we see our lives turnout better than we could ever imagine, (ref.: Proverbs 20:24.

Another thing we must never forget is that we often times take what the devil throw at us as real, and fall victim of it. And this happens when we confess its lies, and the lies become a reality. 

The Lord is our good Shepherd, (ref.: John 10:7-18), He takes us as His own children, so His eyes are always on us, because of His great love towards us. However, He cannot force things on us, because we choose by ourselves. But His ways are clearly spelt out in Jesus, through His word, by living His life when we receive it.

We must pay attention to His warnings as we live our lives. Several times, we don't see the signs around us that He has laid down to guide us, and end up in situations we would have avoided if we paid attention to His guidance.

Also, when things happen like being fired from work, could be a sign from Him for something even bigger or to follow Him. But He never puts us in danger, because He is our Father.

The point we must note here is that no matter what happens to us, we must always look up to Him for guidance and direction, because He never left us in the first place. He loves us beyond our widest dreams, and we MUST never forget that—we are always on His mind.

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!
