1st Root of Personal Disharmony: Fear
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 1John 4:18 [KJV]
Fear is at the root of personal disharmony. There is actually no fear in love because perfect love casts out fear. The fear you feel gets its strength from its source. In other words, fear is as strong as the authenticity of the source. The source could be your doctor who has just sent you a negative report based on test results. The next natural reaction to such reports because it is a trusted Read the rest of this entry
The Mirror
Then said I, Woe is me! For I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts. Isaiah 6:5
Until you stand before God’s mirror, it is almost impossible to be who He has called you to be. This statement many times sounds very distant to a number of people. The truth is that if you have a wrong perception of yourself, then chances are you will try to live out the wrong image you are seeing. You might be thinking that you already know what God has called you to do. This is very Read the rest of this entry
Prepackaged
‘For I know the plans I have for you’, says the LORD. ‘They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope’. Jer.29:11
‘For I know the plans I have for you’, says the LORD’. For a number of us this is not the first time we are encountering this scripture. However, the Word admonishes us to renew our minds constantly with the Word. The plan for your life has already been made and laid out by God Almighty. This means you and I need to stop racking our heads about making fresh plans. Rather, in Read the rest of this entry
Vessel Full!
Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, let the Holy Spirit fill and control you. Then you will sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, making music to the Lord in your hearts. Eph.5:18-19
Have you ever come across a jar that is filled with sugar half way and then filled with salt in the other half? The thought of this alone is displeasing. Your body is a vessel given to you by God. However, it is your choice what to fill it with. It is your choice whether to fill it with the Spirit of God unto life or wine. Just as the Read the rest of this entry
Carrying Fire
His head and His hair were white like wool, as white as snow. And His eyes were like flames of fire. Rev.1:14
Do not be unaware of your authority as a Christian and what you are carrying on the inside. Remember that you are not of this world even though you are in this world. You are carrying fire on the inside of you. I stumbled on this truth a while back in the church where I was serving at that time. A particular member of the praise team never could look me in the eye regardless of how many times Read the rest of this entry
100% Lord!
I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat is planted in the soil and dies, it remains alone. But its death will produce many new kernels—a plentiful harvest of new lives. John 12: 24
Do you just want to be known as a Christian or do you want to live a life worthy of the Name of Jesus. A woman cannot bear her fiancé’s name until she is married to him. There has to be a leaving and cleaving. God has given us the relationships around us so that we can understand what He expects from us. How often you go to Church or how big your Bible is, isn’t a representation of Read the rest of this entry
Negative Influence
Don’t be fooled by those who say such things, for ‘bad company corrupts good character’. Think carefully about what is right, and stop sinning. For to your shame I say that some of you don’t know God at all. 1 Cor.15:33-34
There is an old saying, ‘show me your friends and I will tell you who you are’. A number of us are deceived into thinking that birds of the same feather do not always flock together. ‘Don’t be fooled by those who say such things, for bad company corrupts good character’. You cannot be wiser than God. The truth is you are in denial and it will take a little while but your own feathers to show Read the rest of this entry
Habits!
Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit. Gal.6:8
Wikipedia.org defines habits as ‘routines of behavior that are repeated regularly and tend to occur subconsciously’. Research states that it takes a normal human being 28 days to form a habit. A bad habit is a negative behavioral pattern that has been developed over time. Anything, besides worshiping God that you do not have control over in your life is dangerous.

Understanding Favour: Response 3
For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will fill you with joy. Prov.2:10
You must let godly wisdom influence your responses and reactions to situations of favour. Another form of rivalry between siblings occurs as a result of an overflow of favour (favour by proximity). In this case, the other sibling begins to experience favour as a result of being around the favoured sibling. When you hang around someone who is favoured, just like anointing, it Read the rest of this entry
Understanding Favour: Response 2
He was the one who prayed to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you would bless me and expand my territory! Please be with me in all that I do, and keep me from all trouble and pain!” And God granted him his request. 1Chro.4:10
Remember, God is always watching your responses. If, and I dare say when you respond properly, God will promote you. The fact that you did not start favoured does not mean that you should die u n-favoured. It will be your turn soon or even now if you will receive it. Jabez started out without favour; in fact his mother named him pain. He could have accepted it as his lot in life and die Read the rest of this entry
