It's a Faith Issue

There are so many reasons we run to God for help. From financial issues to marital issues to fruit of the womb issue to health issues to mental health issues and many more.

I have had my share of this issue. However, in my meditation on the word of God, being so bothered one day. I asked the Lord why despite being a Son of God I still have a reason to run to Him for help. I have the understanding of His word and the power and authority behind His word when used, but sometimes, even when confessions are made, it appears nothing seems to happen. It was then Lord answered me and said the only issue any Son or Daughter of God can face is a faith issue.

I am sure this won't seem like a surprise to many, as this isn't new knowledge. But the sad aspect is that we have heard about this but we haven't truly meditated on it, this is why we keep running to Him when He has told us what to do and when He has taken care of every issue we would ever face in this life.

The popular Hebrews 11:1 says, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." The Passion Translation puts it thus, "Now faith brings our hopes into reality and becomes the foundation needed to acquire the things we long for. It is all the evidence required to prove what is still unseen." TPT.

We were slaves, not of His own when we didn't have His Spirit. But now, when we have received His Spirit, we are Sons and Daughters of God and are now at peace with Him, (ref.: Romans 5:1; 8:14,18).

Being a Son or Daughter of God means that we have a stand with all of Who God is, and not of us but all of Him. This is why He has expressed Himself as Grace in the person of Jesus whom we have received His Spirit as our new Spirit making us one with God.

Now, as we live here on earth is as God living here on earth because we live Him. What we are to do is to have a stand on His word, whether it appears logical or not, but for the fact that He is God Almighty who has the best plan and purpose for each one of us.

As we live our lives by standing on what He said (His word). The Holy Spirit guides us into the perfect will of God for our lives.

So, He tells us that we can never be sick, or be barren, and we are prosperous. The point here is that we are not any of these things. We only received them by Grace, by who He is.

What this means is that we are healthy because He is healthy, we are fruitful because He is fruitful, and we are prosperous because He is prosperous. And to believe that He is all He says He is, and believe that He has given us all these because His Spirit must express who He is, Who is in us, this is faith!

We now run to Him for help when we are ignorant of who He is or do not believe we are an expression of Him. This is a faith issue, nothing else.

All that He is, is one with Spirit. And it is His Spirit we have received, therefore all we are meant to do is express Him here on earth. So, the more we know Him, the more we express Him here on earth. It is nothing about us, but all about Him.

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!

Smooth Flowing Grace

Grace is an unmerited, unearned favour. And it is given to us by God. We all lost every reason to be favoured. But the love of God which surpasses all understanding was expressed to us by God through Jesus. Jesus represents Grace as He Himself is Grace personified.

Romans 5:8 says, "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

Romans 5:17 also says, "For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)"

Abundant Grace has been given to everyone on earth. It is like a smooth flowing river open to everyone. It is left to us to slide into the river, allowing the Grace to carry us along.

The Grace of God contains the fulness of Christ Jesus who is the embodiment of all of God's blessings, favour, mercies, salvation, wisdom, discernment and more, all given to us even when we don't deserve it. It is left to us to choose if we want to flow with His Grace or struggle with sweat and toiling.

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!

How To Have a Stressed Free Life

I really don't like stress in any way. There are times we go through stress even when we do our best to avoid it. But many times, stress in the real sense comes from our mindset. What do I mean?

When you know without a doubt in any form that the outcome of whatever you're doing would end up in victory, your mind feels relaxed. This is different from the person who assumes he would end up in victory. No matter how much theory he creates, there is still the stress factor involved. How is this any different?

Jeremiah 17:7 says, “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord."

The verse says the man who trusts in the Lord, and has his hope in the Lord is blessed. Why is this so? God has plans and to think of God carrying out His plans always imply victory. We cannot imagine God not having victory when He carries out His plan. It is so serious that the mere thought of failure in any form even when you know He is forever victorious, we consider it an insult to God. This is because God is Him and Him alone. Perfection is an understatement to His person, and expressing His excellence cannot be fathom with human understanding. So, where am I heading here?

Whatever God intends to carry out here on earth, He goes through man. The man who chooses to trust and hope in God is actually expressing God by carrying out His plan, because to trust and hope in God is to be led by His Holy Spirit.

The funny thing about this is that anyone who chooses to trust and hope in God is actually seeing the desires of his heart coming to pass.

Psalms 37:4 says, "Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart."

Why is it when we delight ourselves in the Lord that we see the desires of our heart come to pass? The reason is that God designed us that our existence is actually to fulfill His plan, which is why when we delight ourselves in God we then see that what we desire the most is actually found by trusting and hoping in God in delight. And when you know who God is, you are always sure of absolute victory.

This is why the man who meditates on the word of God day and night always experience prosperity in everything he does just because he is walking on a flawless path (ref.: Psalms 1:1-3)

So, the only reasonable thing to do is just to trust and hope in God, and allow Him to lead you because again He knows the plan better than you do, and He knows the end from the beginning. He is a stress free life I assure you.

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!

Paying Attention This New Year

The new year began yesterday, and I wrote on How To Keep Your New Year Resolutions. Still, in the light of the new year, there are certain things we all should pay attention to as we run through the entire year.

Proverbs 23:12 says, "Pay close attention to the teaching that corrects you, and open your heart to every word of instruction." TPT.

I usually advice people to be fast but do not rush. What this means is that every second of your time should count as there is no time to waste, but don't do things without wisdom.

The word of God is the best place to go to in search of wisdom as you begin this year. The verse above talks on paying attention to the teaching that corrects you. To do this, you need the spirit of humility. A person who isn’t humble cannot receive teachings and instructions that would guide him or her.

And without humility you won't know when the Lord God is guiding you.

Humility before the Lord God is to drop what you know and then listen. The reason is because God knows your purpose here on earth. So, if you claim you know, then you're not ready to learn.

Instructions and teachings can come from people also. You are to search the scriptures with the leading of the Holy Spirit to know if it aligns with your purpose here in life.

Remember, you don't know the very next second of your life, so opening your heart to God's wisdom [who is our Lord Jesus] is the best thing you can do to yourself if you intend to have a great year and life.

There is no time to waste, but as you move fast into the year, always allow God's wisdom to guide your every step (ref.: Psalms 119:105).

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!

How To Keep Your New Year Resolutions

So, it's a brand new year, new year resolutions all over the place. We put in a lot of effort in ensuring that we achieve this new year resolutions. But most times we don't see it through. This is because of one thing which is lack of commitment and consistency. But no matter what you intend to achieve in the new year, there is nothing as powerful as working on the root cause of the issue.

The word of God says in Joshua 1:8, "This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success." AMPC.

The true reason why you fall out of your new year resolutions is because you need to know what God has called you to do, your purpose in this life and what you are to do in the new year.

As you meditate on the word of God day and night, you receive the revelation of your purpose in this life, which is what God has called you to do. If you really intend to know why you were born, the word of God is the place where you'd find the answer.

Now, the Holy Spirit is there to guide you through. As He guides you on how to live the word, which is your purpose in this life, you find out that you keep confessing the word of God everyday and every night. The word of God is living and powerful (Christ Jesus).

As you keep confessing the word, you are prophesying into your life the living and active word of God into your daily life. And as you keep doing that, you keep meditating on the word of God, you would keep receiving revelations as the Holy Spirit keeps guiding you more and more. Before you know it, the new year resolutions you thought was difficult to keep becomes a breeze because of the word of God and the leading of the Holy Spirit.

Do not stress yourself on creating a new year resolution. Ask the Lord God to reveal His purpose for the year to you as you go through the scriptures. And the Lord God who is your present help in time of need will always answer you, and reveal to you your true new year resolution. And with the help and leading of the Holy Spirit you'll see how new year resolutions can be kept.

Trust in the Lord with all of your heart, and not with your own understanding (ref.: Proverbs 3:5).

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!
