Gratitude, Altitude & Attitude

  Psalm 91:14 Those who look to God, trust God, love God have a promise of being successful over their challenges and problems. God promises to deliver such people, He promises to lift such people up in life. The Lord lifts such people to higher altitudes. Loving God makes us grateful to Him. Some people struggle with being grateful. They find it hard being grateful for life, opportunities, and the blessings that have been added to their lives since birth. This is a wrong attitude. Such people are deceived by the natural, they look at natural things like their temporary unpleasant experiences to determine whether God is faithful or not. People in this category are deceived by calendar years, they check out time to determine if God is faithful or not. They give God a time frame for performance, if things don't happen within that time frame they give up on God. This is the wrong attitude. They forget God is not limited to time or by time. God is eternal and time answers to God. Such ...

Our Examples

 Hebrews 11: 1- 40 Our lengthy text passage shows us what faith is, it reveals to us the exploits of faith and informs us that it is in faith that God created the world! The passage goes on to show us the exploits of faith that God worked through men like you and I. Those individuals we read about in the passage are examples to us. These are people who have walked before us, people whose stories show their strengths, weaknesses, successes and failures. They are called the cloud of witnesses. They are witnesses who cheer us on from the grand stands of heaven when we please God, do right, walk in love and fulfil our destinies. We need these examples and their stories in the Bible is worth getting acquainted with. We are meant to learn from them, that is what the wise will do. In Mathematics text books, before we get to the sums the students have to solve; there are samples or examples of the topics the students have to study and learn.  The wisdom in showing examples is to help ...

The Dangers Of Overfamiliarity

  Numbers 12:1-15 To be familiar with the right person or people has its benefits and advantages but overfamiliarity can cost us. People carry different graces, people have unique covenants with God, and people have sacrificed to different degrees one from another to operate in certain dimensions and degrees. It is through people God works on the earth  in most cases. As a result, the grace on a vessel God is using should be respected. Moses was a prophet of God, specifically handpicked and chosen by God for a purpose; the purpose of delivering and leading God's people. He had the authority, the mandate and commission from God to do what he did- challenge Pharaoh for the freedom of the Israelites. Moses had divine presence with him, he heard clearly from God, and he was obedient to God. Exodus 3 Moses had life's experience, he was elderly when God called him to the assignment of bringing His people out of Pharoah's bondage, he had gone through due preparation. Such a man sh...

Unlikely People, Unlikely Weapons

 1 Corinthians 1: 26-30 The people who God uses to showcase His glory are often those who we do not think or imagine He would use, God uses unlikely people. The weapons God uses to bring us victory are not weapons man would often depend on for victory or protection, they are unlikely weapons. God uses the foolish things of this world to confound the wise, the base things of the world to silence the mighty that no one may boast before Him. Through Samson He used the jawbone of a donkey to bring victory against the Philistines. The jawbone was a dried, discarded, hard piece on the floor. It was useless in many peoples eyes, it was as worthless as garbage, it had probably gathered a lot of dust due to being  on the floor for so long and no one picked it up or gave it any attention because it wasn't seen as useful or valuable. The same jawbone many ignored became an unlikely weapon in Samson's hands, it was a lethal weapon Samson used to kill 1,000 Philistines in a single battle. ...

Winning In Life & Eternity

  Mark 16:26 Your life matters to God and so does your eternity. Your life on earth impacts your eternity. Your physical life affects your spiritual life. God wants us to do well in this life. He also wants us to have a glorious eternity with Him. It is not good enough to do well on earth by human standards and fail in eternity. The soul that finds itself in hell has not won in eternity, such a soul is lost. The soul that made it to heaven is the soul that made it in eternity. The will of God for you is that you do well in this life and in eternity. You can win in this life and you can win in eternity too. Its a choice, it's a decision. Joshua 24:15 The profitable life is the life that gained God on this earth and lived out God's will, plan and purposes. Such a life will make it in eternity too. Abraham is an example of such a man. He prospered on earth, He gained God, and He made it in eternity. It is possible to prosper in this life and be blessed in all things and make it to...

The God Of Divine Orchestrations

  Romans 8:28 God is a God who orchestrates. Nature, the solar system, the universe, the whole of creation shows this. The connection we see in creation, the dependency we see in eco-systems, and the intelligence we keep discovering and observing in various life forms on earth shows God is the orchestrator. When we consider the word 'orchestration' we find words like arrangement , planning and order come into effect. Think about a musical orchestra, the planning that goes into working and putting it together, how every member of the orchestra sync, working in harmony to produce a desired effect, to manifest an expected sound. There is a sound your life should produce, there is an effect your existence should have, there is an expected outcome for you. You have a purpose and you have a destiny. You need the Lord's orchestration to manifest it, just like He has done for many others. Orchestration can be define as the planning or coordination of the elements of a situation t...

Your Faith, Your Imagination and Your Prophecy

 Luke 4:16-21 There is a link between your faith, imagination and prophecy. Your imagination is a powerful gift given to you by God and there is a way you are meant to use it. Your measure of faith was given to you by God, you are meant to nurture it, grow it and contend for it. Romans 12:3 Your prophecy is a revelation and insight to you about your future, God's plan and perspective concerning you. 1 Timothy 4:14 When you are given a true and good prophecy, you are meant to capture it with your imagination. Your imagination is an ability given to you by God that plays out your thoughts, dreams and fantasies. Your imagination can play out what can be and what you can achieve. Your imagination works like a projector, the Holy Spirit can use it to show you things to come. John 16:13 Visions and dreams are part of the language of the Holy Spirit and your imagination falls into this category. Acts 2:17,18 A good and developed imagination helps to develop your understanding of God's...
