Risen!
“The women were terrified and bowed with their faces to the ground. Then the men asked, “Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive?” Luke 24:5
“Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive?” This is such an amazing statement. These women meant well; they did not mean to insult Jesus. I have news for you today. Mark today’s date in your diary. There are well meaning people that will come and look for you in the grave but they will discover that the tomb is empty. They will discover that God has resurrected you from the place they kept you. And if God will open their eyes to see, the angels will say to them, “Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive?” They are so sure that they Read the rest of this entry
The Reason
“The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you” Rom.8:11 [emphasis added]
Jesus is coming again! For those of us that have our faith in Jesus, this is what keeps us going. The fact that Jesus is coming again and this physical body will be changed. I do not know about you but I want to be raptured. I want to experience rapture. I want to be alive so that when the trumpet sounds, I will know how it feels to just… That would be awesome! Paul says, “If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable” 1 Cor.15:19. In Read the rest of this entry
The Resurrection!
“The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you” Rom.8:11 [emphasis added]
Easter is another name for The Resurrection. I would not argue about the origin of Easter; I will leave that to the critics. Instead, I will focus on Jesus. Rick Warren says, “The three days of the Easter season tells the story of our lives”. And what are the three days of the Easter season? The Good Friday, the Saturday, and the Resurrection morning [Easter]; these three days tell the story of Read the rest of this entry
Easter
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8
When I was a little boy, my father bought me a bicycle. The bicycle changed my life totally. It released power to me at least as far as my mobility was concerned. All my mates did not have bicycles. I remember riding my bicycle and all the children on our street will run after me and it made me feel very powerful. It was so profound to me because for the first time in my life, I had power to move faster than Read the rest of this entry
Step Aside & Listen
“I will take my place at the watchtower. I will stand at my post and watch. I will watch and see what He says to me. I need to think about how I should respond to Him When He gets back to me with His answer” Hab.2:1[VOICE]
“We do not learn by experience. We learn from experience by reflecting” –Anonymous. This is so true. Things happen to us every day, if we learn by experience, everybody will be so smart. But most of the time, we are not even paying attention. We do not even take time out to reflect on the things that happen to us daily. A whole lot has happened in this year already. God is saying to you, Solitude! You need time Read the rest of this entry
Think & Thank
“Seven times every day I praise You because of Your right rulings. Those who love Your law have an abundance of peace, and nothing along their paths can cause them to stumble” Ps. 119:164-165 [Voice]
God’s instruction for us in this season is Re-Tune. We have seen some of the things that detune us. And we have learnt that the desired frequency, the pitch perfect tune is joy. This joy comes with righteousness and peace. So how do those of us that are out of tune re-tune? And how do those of us that Read the rest of this entry
Righteousness, Peace, & Joy!
“For the kingdom of God is not a matter of what we eat or drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost” Rom.14:17
Watch out for Anger, Hope Deferred, Greed, and Anxiety because they can put you out of tune.
#5. Life. The fifth thing that detunes us is actually life. We get out of tune by reason of use. Life just happens. You set your course at the beginning of the year but as days go by, life happens. A lot of people have New Year resolutions. In fact, some have Read the rest of this entry
His Space?
“I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread” Ps.37:25 [KJV]
God wants us to watch out for Anger, Hope Deferred and Greed because they detune us.
#4. Anxiety. Another thing that detunes us is anxiety. As the first quarter in the year comes to an end, a lot of people get anxious. And it because – I thought by now I Read the rest of this entry
Ask Gehazi
“Such is the fate of all who are greedy for money; it robs them of life” Prov.1:19.
Greed is very powerful. It blinds the sharpest Prophet and reduces hearing accuracy. Ask Gehazi. He could have gotten quadruple of Elijah’s anointing [double of Elisha’s anointing]. But what did he get? Leprosy – and it was because of greed. You will not get leprosy, in Jesus Name. The best definition of greed I have come across is this, “Greed is the assumption that everything that comes my way is for my Read the rest of this entry
Ask Balaam
“Such is the fate of all who are greedy for money; it robs them of life” Prov.1:19.
God wants us to pay attention to Anger and Hope Deferred because they detune us.
#3. Greed. Greed is a major de-tuner. Greed robs you of life. Greed, like anger and hope deferred, is an express way to a detuned life. Ask the prophet, Balaam. Balaam introduced himself as the one that sees a vision without closing his eyes. What a resume! He was so tuned, accurate and sharp that he did not need to close his eyes to pray, he just sees into the supernatural. But because of greed, Balaam became so Read the rest of this entry
