Levels Of Living
‘Give to anyone who asks; and when things are taken away from you, don’t try to get them back’ Luke 6:30
There are three levels of living. Moving from one level to another requires giving [sowing]. You cannot expect to grow by consistently being on the receiving end. You grow by being a giver. No one is born to receive alone. In actual fact, receiving is a benefit of giving. We were born to give. Born to give life (birth), money, comfort, clothes, etc. If you have clothes you have not Read the rest of this entry
The Cross
‘Abba, Father, He cried out, everything is possible for You. Please take this cup of suffering away from Me. Yet I want Your will to be done, not Mine’ Mark.14:36
There comes a time in every life when our will crosses with the will of the Father. Giving can be a huge sacrifice but it’s the best way to be a blessing and be blessed. Jesus Himself struggled with giving His life and this was the one thing on His mind when He went to Gethsemane to pray. Scripture records that while He prayed that night, His sweat was like blood. He too asked the Read the rest of this entry
He Came To Give
‘For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.’ Matt.20:28
Jesus was born. Adam wasn’t born and Jesus is God, so Jesus didn’t have to be born but He was born so we can relate to Him. Jesus was born to give. He gave and gave until He gave His life. The same way Jesus was born to give, so were we born to give. As a matter of fact, we will not be able to enter into the fulfillment God has for us if we don’t begin to give. Jesus practically Read the rest of this entry
Stop Making Excuses
‘If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God whom we serve is able to save is. He will rescue us from your power, Your Majesty’ Daniel 3:17
God will not work with our timing but we have the assurance that He will always come through for us. Many times, because we love God and we don’t want to offend Him, we find ourselves making excuses for Him. God does not want us to make excuses for Him. God says I Am Who I Am; in other words, I AM able to perform. The secret of David’s victory is simple, every time he Read the rest of this entry
Not Now, Not Ever
‘…Say this to the people of Israel: Yahweh, the God of your ancestors – the God of Abraham …Isaac, and …Jacob… This is My eternal name, My Name to remember for all generations’. Ex. 3:15
Moses was the man who got into trouble trying to help God’s people in the first place. Then God appears to him and instructs him to go back and help these same people. However, the major difference this time is that God promised to be with him. Moses got there and performed amazing signs and wonders; he experienced God real time. He was leading hundreds of Read the rest of this entry
Our Present Help
God replied to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM. Say this to the people of Israel: I AM has sent me to you. Ex. 3:14
God stills every storm to a whisper. The children of Israel had cried out for help for years. Then God sends Moses with a new revelation of His person. ‘If they ask you who has sent you, say to them ‘I AM THAT I AM’ has sent you’. Understand this; God by revealing Himself as ‘I AM’ is saying in essence that He is relevant to the present situation. Sometimes, we are pressured Read the rest of this entry
Born of God
‘Oh, what joy for those whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sins are put out of sight’ Rom.4:7.
Sin is a product of disobedience to God and His commandments. At the root of every sin is disobedience. Man’s main issue till date is disobedience which of course amounts to sin. Disobedience is a major issue with God. Just as the greatest problem of man is disobedience, the greatest solution is obedience. ‘Because one person disobeyed God, many became sinners. But Read the rest of this entry
Antidote
‘At least I can take comfort in this: Despite the pain, I have not denied the words of the Holy One’ Job 6:10.
Before you experience gain, it is inevitable to experience a level of pain. We will go through trials and challenges in life, again, this is also inevitable. However, most times when people are faced with trials or challenges, you find them looking for tranquilizers to knock off or even dampen the pain. Pain is painful, have you noticed; either the pain of rejection, financial Read the rest of this entry
Declare War on Sin
‘Think of all the hostility He endured from sinful people;then you won’t become weary and give up’. Heb.12:3
Resisting sin is a daily assignment. Paul gives us a tip that is sure to work every time. Keep the image of Christ and His sacrifice before you constantly and sin will lose its power over you. The image of Jesus on the cross is sure to cure every taste for sin and crush it every time it surfaces [Isa.53:6]. The reason why a lot of us seem to be battling one particular sin over and Read the rest of this entry
Enduring Submission
‘Relish life with the spouse you love each and every day of your precarious life. Each day is God’s gift. It’s all you get in exchange for the hard work of staying alive. Make the most of each one!’ Ecc.9:9 [MSG]
Love is a bold line you can draw through the life of Jesus Christ. The bold line of love is visible still at His death and resurrection. Jesus is all about Love. It was not the nails that kept Jesus on the cross, it was love. God expects us to walk in this same depth of love. Napoleon said “I know men and I tell you that Jesus Christ is no mere man. Between Him and every Read the rest of this entry
