Our Examples

 Hebrews 11: 1- 40 In Mathematics text books, before we get to the sums the students have to do there are samples or examples of the topics the students have to solve.  The wisdom in showing examples is to help the student better understand the topic, make learning easier, and to leave the teacher without any blame. In the same manner God has not left us without examples. These examples are characters found in the Bible, they are the heroes of faith who have gone before us or ahead of us. The Bible calls them the cloud of witnesses. From these life examples or cloud of witnesses, we see how faith is used, how relationships are developed and nurtured with God, we see examples of how to overcome, how to prosper, how to fulfil destiny, how to bring down our giants, how to overcome the enemy and how to receive miracles. We learn how to win by righteousness, how to advance without compromise, and how to achieve what God has called us to. Through our examples we learn how to release...

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...

Why We Follow Jesus!

 Matthew 2: 1-12 Magi (wise men) from the east followed the Star of Jesus and the Star successfully led them to where young Jesus was in Bethlehem. To follow the Star of Jesus Christ is to follow Jesus Christ for Jesus is that Star! It is a revelation and mystery! There are lessons we can learn from the wise men from the east. We should be wise. Why are they called wise? Wisdom is the principal thing. Proverbs 4:7 God wants you wise and He's ready to supply an abundance of it to you. James 1:5 When you ponder on the actions of these wise men who followed the Star of the Messiah, we can glean valuable insight on how we can be wise too. Through them, we see what it means to be wise even in our day. 1. The wise men followed Jesus because of who He is - the King . Matthew 2: 2 They didn't follow Jesus because they wanted a miracle or needed a testimony. The followed Jesus (the Star) because they discovered who He is. Their following Him was not motivated by personal benefit or a hi...
