A Message For You II
‘Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life. Avoid all perverse talk; stay away from corrupt speech. Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on that lies before you’ Prov.4:23-25.
The Holy Spirit’s second message for you is you need to develop a thick skin and a soft heart. Pain is inevitable. You will hurt and I assure you that you will hurt badly but don’t get hardened. Learn to develop a thick skin and a soft heart and not the converse. The typical thing for many people is they go through things and develop a hard heart and a thin skin. With a thin skin, they get irritated at the slightest thing. They are suspicious of everybody, even the people that mean well. They a hard heart Read the rest of this entry
Enduring Word
‘So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses’ Job 42:12 [KJV].
No matter how you start you must learn to endure. This year has begun well for a lot of people, praise God for that. But the fact that you have begun well is not a determinant of how the ending will be. But we know that Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the ending. So if He has begun well with you, you can trust that things will go well with you and He will end even better with you in the Name of Jesus. You must learn to endure – persevere. You must be consistently diligent. And one way to Read the rest of this entry
A Message For You I
‘‘Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit’ Ecc.7:8 [KJV].
While preparing this and waiting on God, believe it or not, God told me to tell you some things. And over the next few days, I will be relaying the Holy Spirit’s message to you in this season. The first thing I believe the Holy Spirit said I should tell you is no matter how your day started it is not a determinant of how the day will end. God is saying how your day started does not determine how it will end. Some of us are overly concerned and agitated because our day didn’t start right. That day could mean Read the rest of this entry
Not Without Faithfulness
these peeled branches in the watering troughs… when they mated in front of the white-streaked branches, they gave birth to young that were streaked, speckled, and spotted’ Gen.30:37-39
Never make how an obstacle. The fact that you don’t know how doesn’t mean it is the end of the road. Don’t make how an obstacle for your vision. The fact that you don’t know how God is going to do it doesn’t mean it is the end of the road for you. While God’s how can be independent of our planning, God’s how cannot be independent of our faithfulness. What does this mean? It goes back to doing the right thing for long enough. More visions are aborted because of unfaithfulness than lack of Read the rest of this entry
God’s How
‘So he cried out to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a tree. When he cast it into the waters, the waters were made sweet. There He made a statute and an ordinance for them, and there He tested them’ Ex.15:25 [KJV]
You and I need to stop worrying ourselves about how God will bring things to pass. God will do what only Him can do. So you do what you have to do and let God be God. Now by the grace of God when God sends a word of knowledge, I just say it and watch God bring it to pass. It was not always like that, back in the day I would say it but then struggle to stop my brain from trying to figure out how God is going to do it because guess what Read the rest of this entry
It’s Not About You!
“Didn’t I say …that you would do this, Lord? …You are eager to turn back from destroying people. Just kill me now, Lord! I’d rather be dead than alive if what I predicted will not happen.” The Lord replied, “Is it right for you to be angry about this?” Jonah 4:2-4
It really is not about you or me but about God and what He is doing. For some of us, this is all we need to hear today. After God delivered me and taught me this lesson, I could pray and people that were dying would come back to life and it didn’t mean anything to me. You know why it didn’t mean anything to me? I knew it wasn’t because of my prayers. I just did what I had to do and God did what He had to do. If you don’t understand this Read the rest of this entry
His Responsibility Not Yours
“Then Moses raised his hand over the sea, and the Lord opened up a path through the water with a strong east wind. The wind blew all that night, turning the seabed into dry land” Ex.14:21.
Back in the day, while I’m praying for someone that is sick, I try to figure out how the person will get healed. So I am praying but in my head I am thinking, ‘as I lay my hands on this person, maybe the anointing from heaven will land on my head, and then flow through my hand into the person’. But God delivered me from that long ago. People discover now that when I pray for someone to be healed it’s not a very long prayer. The Bible Read the rest of this entry
God’s Way vs Man’s Way
‘You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus. Mary asked the angel, “But how can this happen? I am a virgin.” Luke 1:31 & 34
In those days when a woman has been betrothed and is about to get married, culturally everybody knows who her husband would be and there are plans to get married in a short while. Now imagine you are this woman and God sends an angel to you. God said through the angel “you are going to conceive and have a son and name Him Jesus”. What will come to your mind immediately? You will figure out the how. You will relay the Read the rest of this entry
My Story
‘The Lord had said to Abram, “Leave your native country, your relatives, and your father’s family, and go to the land that I will show you’ Gen.12:1
My spiritual father, late Pastor Eskor, asked us to start a church barely a year after I had left paid employment and we obeyed. Through out the period we served in that church, we were happy not to collect any salary. I had a business and I felt my money should be used for the Kingdom and not the other way round. Then one day God asked me to leave my business and focus on His work. And I brought my needs before God – my family, bills, Read the rest of this entry
Recipe For Peace
‘Mary asked the angel, “How can this happen? I am not even married!” The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come down to you, and God’s power will come over you. So your child will be called the holy Son of God’ Luke 1:34-35 [CEV]
If you examine Moses’ how and God’s how they were totally different. So plan the best you can but remember that a divine vision will always require divine intervention. So don’t be too preoccupied with trying to figure out the how of the vision. I know this is coming as a shock to some people but it is the truth that will renew your mind today. Don’t be too preoccupied with trying to figure out how. I am sure the question on your mind now is Read the rest of this entry
