YOU ARE WONDERFULLY MADE

 Psalm 139:14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. Envy no one, you were made special no copy of you exists, you are dynamic and different. You may know others who have the same goals, aspirations or exhibit the same talent/gifts with you but yet you are different. One thing you are not, is irrelevant. You are a class all by yourself. People could confuse who you are, because of the state/position they see you at a particular point in time (be it high or low). It limits them from seeing who you really are in the Spirit so they respond to you from the limited perception. See examples: * Abraham: Abimelech misjudged Abraham Genesis 20:7 "Now therefore, restore the man's wife; for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you shall live. But if you do not restore her, know that you shall surely die, you and all who are yours. * Joseph: his brothers, father, Potiphar and his wife mi...

IF GOD PERMITS

Psalms 127:1-2(NLT) Unless the Lord builds a house, the work of the builders is wasted. Unless the Lord protects a city, guarding it with sentries will do no good. It is useless for you to work so hard from early morning until late at night, anxiously working for food to eat; for God gives rest to his loved ones. Many have attributed their success and achievements to their personal efforts, dedication and wisdom. Though they are the controlling factors, the God factor cannot be trivialized. The truth is, if God does not permit us, we waste our efforts. Yes, we could give great examples of people who have not believed, yet have prospered in this life. (we have different forms of prosperity). However remember, that there are others who have done what they have done, be it risks, strategies and steps, however they could not accomplish what these ones did. It is foolish to believe that their success could take place without God's approval! Daniel 4:30 The king spake, and said, Is not t...

KEEP TELLING THE STORY

Matthew 28:18 - 20 Then Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.  "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, "teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen This command remains Jesus final instructions to us when He left - reaching out to the lost-, because He died for all. 2Corinthians 5:15  and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again The passion of Christ was that all will hear of His great sacrifice, repent and have eternal life. Yes ALL! The instruction was for everyone who is saved to preach the message and live as examples. It is not only for a selected few. 2Timothy 4:5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make ful...

ABIDE IN GOD

Colossians 3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, [do] all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. This is what is expected of all who have come to the Lord. Our driving force should be Him who have called us. We ought to be reminded daily that our coming to the Heavenly Father is not passive, it is a whole new nature, a rebirth, such that a new thing drives us, a new reason, the very reason. The love of the Father. John 15:1&5 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. I am the vine, ye [are] the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. We all, saved or unsaved originated from God, thus it is when God takes away His breath from us that we die, this is physical death, however it is sinister when the spirit becomes dead because it does not have life from the Father: Acts 17:28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets ...

OUR GOD OF MIRACLES

I still believe in miracles! Psalm 75:6&7 For promotion [cometh] neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God [is] the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another. Many believe that God's miracles are limited to healing, deliverances etc. However the truth is that God has no boundaries, His blessings have no limit. Ask Solomon! Even on earth He has the final say: Psalm 24:1 The earth [is] the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. Psalm 118:23 This was the Lord's doing; It is marvelous in our eyes. We live in a time when knowledge abounds, science has made remarkable discoveries, new ways and technologies have been established. Man has discovered easy ways of doing things, faster ways of moving from place to place by land, air and water. This knowledge keeps increasing day after day. This is God's release of wisdom to man. Yet in all I still believe in miracles. I see it as a miracle, when I cannot do...

WHEN WILL THE WISE RULE?

Proverbs 29:8(NLT) Mockers can get a whole town agitated, but the wise will calm anger. Proverbs 29:8 Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise [men] turn away wrath. When will siege end, when will we have the wise rule that we may have peace and prosperity? It is terrible to have the scornful as rulers in any territory. They prefer to have chaos and are never at rest until they have discord. They do not know how to speak, they speak deceit and lies and never take responsibility. They prefer to blame others for their short falls. They are short sighted only seeking for the gains of today, they hold nothing for the coming generation. They are always indebted. Most times their long term agenda is selfish or from the evil one and brings destruction. However, the wise are more interested in having peace. They are interested in the prosperity and joy of the people. They are visionaries, they see for the next decade and plan for the next generation. We pray for these kinds of leaders ...

BE PROTECTED

Ephesians 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. The greatest folly of the believer is to think that there is no battle. No, Christ said there is, the apostles confirmed it. THERE IS A BATTLE! The joy is, we have victory. Now victory is only confirmed and established for each one, if we walk in obedience. Yes. This is both legality and divinity. For no one is what they are unless they are tried and found not wanting. Selah. The Lord is not interested in slothful disciples. Remember the word disciples connotes "discipline". This is why the apostle writes to remind us to be fitted with the whole armour. There is no playing around. "It is a serious business". Ephesians 6:12(NLT) For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenl...
