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
Intervention
‘Then Abraham bowed down to the ground, but he laughed to himself in disbelief. “How could I become a father at the age of 100?” he thought. “And how can Sarah have a baby when she is ninety years old?”’ Gen.17:17.
I had a meeting with my wife’s former boss in the consulting firm where she used to work. I was trying to show them that if they patterned with me, we could take the whole industry. She looked at me and she said, “How are you going to do this?”And she started poking holes in the vision with the question how. By the time she finished with me, I wasn’t sure I had a vision anymore. I left the meeting convinced that some people are just Read the rest of this entry
The Big How
Mary asked the angel, “But how can this happen? I am a virgin.” Luke 1:34
When we have qualified our dreams and authenticated the vision. What becomes clear to us immediately is the ‘what’. Once you know the what, the way we are wired as human beings, our brains begin to think of the ‘how’. How shall these things be? Your mind now knows what and so it attempts to calculate the how. But the challenge is when we focus so much on how, we begin to lose enthusiasm particularly because sometimes we Read the rest of this entry
Waiting Time V
“So you, too, must keep watch! For you do not know the day or hour of my return’ Matt.25:13.
A lot of people are saying, when will Jesus come? Will Jesus really come? It is taking a long time. Listen, the issue is not whether Jesus will come or not because Jesus will come. The issue is will you be ready? The best time to get ready is now for that next thing you are trusting and waiting on God for. When is the best time to get ready? The best time is now. Why? Take note, the light is about to change. Preparation matures us for the vision. Like someone said, “it is not enough to do the right thing, you must do the right thing for long enough”.

Waiting Time IV
“The five who were foolish didn’t take enough olive oil for their lamps, but the other five were wise enough to take along extra oil…the bridegroom came. Then those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was locked” Matt.25:3-4&10.
Many of us are too concerned about when it will be our time or when our time will come. The problem is not going to be your time because your time will come. That is outside of your jurisdiction. The issue is, will you be ready when your time comes? Would your plans be ready? Would you be ready as a person? Would you be ready? Abraham Lincoln said, “I will study, I will prepare and my time will come”.
Waiting Time III
‘But Ruth replied, “Don’t ask me to leave you and turn back. Wherever you go, I will go; wherever you live, I will live. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God’ Ruth 1:16
Waiting time is not wasted time, waiting time is People time. When the king’s baker and the cupbearer told Joseph they had dreams, if it were some of us, as soon as we hear the word dreams, we will run because it was dreams that caused our problems initially. But the dream that brought you into the problem is the same dream that will take you out of the problem. You are coming out; so don’t run from people. People propel us to go Read the rest of this entry
Waiting Time II
‘But Caleb tried to quiet the people as they stood before Moses. “Let’s go at once to take the land,” he said. “We can certainly conquer it!” Num.13:30
Waiting time is not wasted time, waiting time is Prayer time. Caleb at eighty-five said to Joshua, ‘give me this mountain’. Caleb was asking for Horeb where there were giants. Caleb says, ‘as I was forty years ago so is my strength. I’m going to go and kill these giants’. Many people would rather ask Joshua to send people to go and clear the place for them; but not Caleb. Learn from Caleb, Nehemiah, and David. You have to take Read the rest of this entry
Waiting Time I
‘For they all were trying to make us afraid, saying, “Their hands will be weakened in the work, and it will not be done”. Now therefore, O God, strengthen my hands’ Neh.6:9 [NKJV].
Yesterday we established the fact that waiting time is not wasted time. Today we will delve into the four “P’s” of waiting; these will help you maximize waiting time.
Waiting time is not wasted time, waiting time is Pondering time. It is the time to soak yourself in the vision Read the rest of this entry
