Causes Of Disagreement I
“Do two people start travelling together without arranging to meet?” Amos 3:3 [GNT].
Today, we pick up from where we left off yesterday. The first cause of disagreement is failure to meet. In some marriages, there are two people living in the same house but they are just flat mates; they do not meet. They have agreed or decided to marry but they must also agree to meet. It is one thing to decide to get Read the rest of this entry
Companionship
“Can two walk together, unless they are agreed? Amos 3:3” (NKJV)
As your Pastor, I can pray that God will give you a miracle and when that happens, it is a good gift. But that is not the best gift I can give to you. The best gift I can give to you is to ensure that your connection with God is intact; that you have a clear-cut intact connection with God. The best thing that can happen to you is for Read the rest of this entry
Believers’ Authority
“For he raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus” Eph.2:6
You need to build your own altar with God, yourself. Why? Because a lot of the people you are relying on to build it for you, have malicious intentions. My wife and I were visiting a family outside Nigeria, who live in an all white community. There can’t be any demons there right? We parked a distance from the house so Read the rest of this entry
Religion vs. Relationship
“These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me” Matt.15:8.
No matter how legitimate the altar is it cannot take the place of God. Another legitimate altar we tend run to and grab on to but fails us is ‘men of God’. Thank God for ‘men of God’, I do not have anything against them, but a man of God cannot substitute God. It is totally impossible no matter how anointed he is – he Read the rest of this entry
First Things First!
“Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the Lord…” Ps. 24:3-5 [NKJV].
There are things that we do in our lives privately that rob us of God’s glory publicly. It is not when we stand in public that the problem comes. No, the problem came when we robbed God privately. The problem started when we did not regard the Most High at that place of the altar. It is noteworthy that Joab ran Read the rest of this entry
Caution!
“Then Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer and put fire in it, put incense on it, and offered profane fire before the Lord, which He had not commanded them. So fire went out from the Lord and devoured them …” Lev.10:1-2 [NKJV].
What killed Uzzah? You can read Uzzah’s story in 2 Samuel 6. The Ark of God was coming to Jerusalem, and the Ark began to shake. So Uzzah touched it and God killed him. What actually killed Uzzah? If you study this portion of scripture properly, you will discover that although the Ark should not have been carried in a Read the rest of this entry
Only One
“The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the [consistently] righteous man [upright and in right standing with God] runs into it and is safe, high [above evil] and strong” Prov.18:10 [AMP]
God cannot share the throne of your heart with another god. It has to be God and God alone. The Philistines took the Ark of Covenant of God to the shrine of dagon, their god. What do you think happened? By morning Dagon had bowed down, fallen flat on his face. Why? because there can only be one God. They obviously Read the rest of this entry
Heart Check
“You must not have any other god but me. You must not make for yourself an idol of any kind… You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I the Lord your God, am a jealous God who will not tolerate your affection for any other gods…” Ex.20:3-5.
After reading yesterday’s devotional, a lot of people felt uninvolved because they do not go to shrines, or consult any medium, or engage any false prophet. However, I have said to you repeatedly, your heart is the altar of God. For some of us, the altar you have set up is the altar of fashion. Some people have an altar for Read the rest of this entry
Spiritual Insight
“For as I was walking along I saw your many shrines. And one of your altars had this inscription on it: ‘To an Unknown God.’ This God, whom you worship without knowing, is the one I’m telling you about” Acts 17:23.
An altar is a place where divinity meets with humanity. An altar is a place where God [the Maker of the heavens and earth] meets with us [human beings]. Any place God chooses to meet man or man discovers that God is, becomes an altar. Remember the two key things when it comes to an altar are Faith and Sacrifice. Read the rest of this entry
Die To Self II
“Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too” Phil.2:3-4.
Habits could be destructive or totally harmless; but is your habit something that has taken the place of God, howbeit harmless? Question 2: is there something that God wants me to start doing? At the place of the altar, God is going to challenge your spirituality. Take for instance; you have been praying for two Read the rest of this entry
