He Knows What To Do

  John 6:1-13 Our text passage is very insightful. It gives us insights into the kind of man Jesus Christ was/is, the kind of heart He has, and His solution to difficult situations. Jesus was a problem solver when He walked the earth as a man. He used His ability to teach and work miracles to solve people's problems. In our text passage account, Jesus was faced with what seemed like a daunting task, a huge challenge for mere men to overcome when a crowd of over five thousand people were before Him- men, women, and children who needed to be fed. Feeding them would have been easy if there was enough resources to feed them and if they were at a location where food could be bought. The situation didn't look favorable. Fortunately, it's Jesus Christ we are talking about here. He was no ordinary man. When we involve God, unfavorable scenarios, unfavorable circumstances, and unpleasant situations do not count. God is a God of truth, He is not a God who operates by human facts. Whe...

Wisdom For Life's Questions

 James 1:5 Wisdom is a prerequisite in life. Fortunately God is willing to give it to as many as ask Him for it. There are things we are meant to discover as we journey through life. There are things God wants us to find out through Him. Proverbs 25:2 Life's journey requires making discoveries, these discoveries demand wisdom. We need wisdom for life's journey. Proverbs 4:7 There will be situations confronting us in this world that may seem hard. They are life's tough questions, they are life's difficult questions, they are life's hard questions. Jesus faced a number of such questions while He walked the earth in human form. He knew challenging situations, He was also confronted directly with hard and tricky questions at times. The Pharisees and Sadducees tried nailing Him with hard questions whenever the opportunity presented itself. John 8:1-11 There were questions meant to corner Him, discredit Him, and embarrass Him which He scaled through with the wisdom of God...

The Divine Nature

  2 Peter 1:4 The nature of a thing determines it's potential. You cannot be better than the nature in you. You nature determines your limitations and your possibilities. Your nature has a lot to do with determining what you can achieve. Animals behave the way they do because of their nature. Every living thing has it's own nature. Your nature has to do with your DNA, your genetics. It is the way you are 'wired' internally. Your DNA, your genetics comes about as a result of your ancestry, your lineage. It's what you've inherited from your parents which has very likely been passed on Your looks, your health, your personality and maybe your character  will have a lot to do with your family history. God is a generational thinking God. Exodus 3:6 God is the Spirit who sees the big picture. He looks at things from a generational and eternal perspective. 1 Chronicles 28:4-6 If God gives you an instruction it is to produce not just a temporary outcome but a generationa...

Holy Spirit, the Miracle Worker

  Genesis 1 We see from our text passage that the Holy Spirit is the Spirit that moves, that's creative, and colorful. When the Spirit moves, miracles happen. When the Spirit moves, creative miracles occur. The movement of the Spirit produces the unusual. Sons of God, followers of Jesus Christ are entitled to the unusual, the miraculous, and the supernatural that the Spirit manifests. Acts 10:38 This is because the Spirit is meant to move through and move in the life of a believer, the Christian. For this reason it's in our interest to be in tune with the Spirit. To flow with the Spirit is not to miss our miracles. When we move with the Spirit who is the miracle worker we won't miss the wonders God wants to manifest in and through our lives. Matthew 12:18 The Holy Spirit was a key player during creation. He is creative, dynamic, colorful and has good taste. The beauty of the Spirit's work is seen in nature- the beauty of the sky, the colors of the rainbow, the glory of ...
