Prayerful Beginnings II
‘Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity. This is good and pleases God our Savior’ 1Tim.2:2-3.
If only Christians knew the power in prayer, they will pray without ceasing about anything and everything. Prayer is so important. Today we will continue in the place of prayer. We are going to start by commanding everything that has stood as a gate before us or will stand as a gate before us to be lifted up. ‘Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory’ Ps.24:7-10 [KJV]. Pray concerning your home, marriage, finances, and for Nigeria. Read the rest of this entry
Prayerful Beginnings I
‘In the beginning… the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.’ Gen.1:1-3 [KJV].
Transition from one year is a very delicate time spiritually. Therefore, even amidst celebrations for all that God has done and is doing for us, because this is also a season for thanksgiving, It is important that we engage prayerfully. Spend the last few hours in this year prayerfully speaking into being what you want to see in the coming year 2015. You need to realize that God can never ever fail. It is wisdom to secure victory ahead because Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever. Read the rest of this entry
Under New Management
‘For Scriptures say, “As surely as I live’, says the Lord, ‘every knee will bend to me, and every tongue will confess and give praise to God. Yes, each of us will give a personal account to God’ Rom.14:11-12
Accept that Jesus is God. Believe that Jesus is able to make you all that God has called you to be. Believe that He is able to break every bad thing in your life. Believe that He loves you and that He is in control of your life. Believe totally that He is in control. If a bird in the air cannot fall to the ground without my Father’s permission, my life is not by chance [Luke 12:6-7]. Commit to following Him. Commit to obeying the words from His mouth. Commit to living according to His will and purpose for you. You must commit the rest of your life to following His plan for your life. If you have a problem with Read the rest of this entry
Just For You II
‘…My purpose is to give then a rich and satisfying life. “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd sacrifices his life for the sheep’ John 10:10-11.
Jesus showed up for you! Jesus bore the gift of heaven for you. You have heard it said that Jesus is the reason for the season, right? And that is true but the greater truth is that you are the reason for the season. You are the reason Jesus came. Think about it, why else did Jesus come? Why would God leave heaven and come if we didn’t need help? On that day when I stood alone at visiting day and all the cars were disappearing one after the other, it dawned on me that the reason for the visiting day was me – the student. The parents that came, came to refresh us. I know that religious people Read the rest of this entry
Just For You I
‘This is real love – not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins’ 1John 4:10
The All-Powerful God became helpless, at the “mercy” of Joseph and Mary, the amateur parents. Secondly, God came as a human being because man messed up and man had to fix it up. God became a human being because it will take man to put straight what man messed up. Christmas is such a big deal because of the relevance of Christmas. Christ, God came to earth and became a man. The Bible puts it this way; ‘For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin’ Heb.4:15 [NKJV]. Jesus understands the Read the rest of this entry
Glad Tidings
‘Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people’ Luke 2:10 [NKJV]
In this season and always, we trust that the Lord Jesus Himself will breathe upon us Himself. We thank God for Christmas. Christmas is a very fantastic time of the year. A lot of us get the buzz of Christmas then after a while we loose the buzz of Christmas. For some other people, they do not even understand what Christmas is all about. And the question that arises is, what is the big deal about Christmas?. What is the big deal about Christmas anyway? In the culture that we Read the rest of this entry
God Is I AM!
‘Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me’ Ps.23:4.
The only key to the storms of our lives is securing the Presence of God. To still the storms you are faced with, you have so secure His Presence. In spite of the storm, His presence guarantees safety and deliverance. Safety, they say, is not in the absence of danger; safety is in the Presence of the Lord. Once you can secure His Presence, you will triumph over the storms of life. When you secure God’s presence in the storm, the first storm that God stills is your internal storm. For many of us, the first storm that God needs to still in our lives is the internal storm that we are experiencing. The storm of Read the rest of this entry
For Your Good
‘And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them’ Rom.8:28
‘But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way’ Matt.13:25. The second source of the storms is the enemy. Sometimes it is not about you or what you have done, the storm you are going through is as a result of what the enemy has done. The man in today’s Scripture reference sowed good seed in his land but the enemy came and sowed tares. For some people the storms they are facing are spiritual storms. Some people are under intense attack. The good news for you today is Jesus will deal with every storm that is raging against you. If you were to Read the rest of this entry
With You Always
‘As evening came, Jesus said to his disciples, “Let’s cross to the other side of the lake.” So they took Jesus in the boat and started out, leaving the crowds behind… Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on a cushion…’ Mark4:35-38.
Many of us today are in the same position the disciples found themselves in today’s scripture reference. We know we are walking with Jesus, we are His sheep and we hear His voice. We have obediently followed His instructions to cross over to the other side but here we are in the eye of the storm as it were. The first thing you need to know is that even when God is for you, you will still experience storms. And like the disciples, we sometimes are perplexed that if Jesus is in this boat Read the rest of this entry
God First!
‘Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need’ Matt.6:33
This is God’s Word for you today. ‘…Don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need’ Matt.6:31-33. The key to having everything you need is making God priority. God is saying don’t become consumed with Read the rest of this entry
