Fearless
“Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day” Ps.91:5
Fear is not a respecter of seasons. You may be in the season of day [day here means bloom], and the enemy will still try to fire arrows at you. But God is saying to you today, do not be afraid of the arrows that fly in the day. You may be in your night season [night here means gloom], laden with challenges you need to solve. But that does not stop the enemy from bringing terror to your doorstep. God is saying, “do not be afraid of the terror by night”. Yet people go into seasons afraid Read the rest of this entry
Stand Tall!
“You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house” Matt.5:14-15 [emphasis added]
You are the light of the world! These are the direct words of Jesus. You are the light of the world and you are to Stand Tall. There are a lot of things that attempt to bow us down. Things such as, the shame of a past mistake, our family history, the fear of the unknown, or even the Read the rest of this entry
Provocative Blessings II
“Then they took the man who had been blind to the Pharisees, because it was on the Sabbath that Jesus had made the mud and healed him” John 9:13-14
The truth is, if there is nothing in your life that is making other people envious of you, then really, God has not started with you. And I pray that God will start with you today. The truth is, that is just how it is. When God begins to work in your favour, it will stir up envy in others. It was out of envy that Jesus was killed. Joseph was sold into slavery because of envy. If the blessings have not provoked jealousy, it has not yet peaked. I pray that your blessings will not Read the rest of this entry
The Key
“Who is he who speaks and it comes to pass, when the Lord has not commanded it?” Lam.3:37 [NKJV]
Why are you afraid? “Who is he who speaks and it comes to pass, when the Lord has not commanded it?” So why should you be afraid? So what if a sorcerer cursed you or a witch wants you dead. It does not matter; their counsel will always come to nothing in the Name of Jesus. Why? It is because God has not commanded it! Perhaps you are from one of those Read the rest of this entry
The Fire
“If it be so, our God who we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O King. But if not, be it knows unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up” Dan.3:17-18 [KJV]
You need to settle it in your heart that you will only bow your knees to God and God alone. So that no matter what you are faced with, because you have resolved in your heart to bow to God alone, that resolve comes through for you. Guess what, it is not when you face that temptation or pressure that the resolve kicks in. It has already shaped decisions you would have made in days past and in Read the rest of this entry
With Jesus
“Yes, come,” Jesus said. So Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus. But when he saw the strong wind and the waves, he was terrified and began to sink. “Save me, Lord!” he shouted” Matt.14:29-30.
How do you see wind? You really cannot see wind but you can see the waves. Yet Peter saw the waves and the wind because fear exaggerates. Fear is based on exaggeration; yes the waves are there but yes Jesus is also there. I learnt this a long time ago, in walking with God what will keep you is focusing on Jesus and Jesus alone. When you take your eyes off Him you begin to sink. Read the rest of this entry
Ask, Obey, And Focus!
“Yes, come,” Jesus said. So Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus. But when he saw the strong wind and the waves, he was terrified and began to sink. “Save me, Lord!” he shouted” Matt.14:29-30
With God I am just like a child and you probably would laugh if you hear me praying. When people offend me, I just report them to God. A lot of people are probably thinking now that that is so childish, well that is the whole point. We need to deal with God as children. Children make bold request. A child is standing on the balcony of the first floor and asking his father Read the rest of this entry
Amazing Ability
“But Jesus spoke to them at once. “Don’t be afraid,” he said. “Take courage. I am here!” Then Peter called to him, “Lord, if it’s really you, tell me to come to you, walking on the water” Matt.14:27-28
Peter and all the other disciples we in the middle of a crisis, yet Peter asked Jesus if he could walk on water. How did Peter even think about that? He saw Jesus walking on water and Peter thought to himself, how would it feel to walk on water? Many of us really need to let our imagination loose. Read the rest of this entry
Walking On Water
“But Jesus spoke to them at once. “Don’t be afraid,” he said. “Take courage. I am here!” Then Peter called to him, “Lord, if it’s really you, tell me to come to you, walking on the water” Matt.14:27-28
What does it mean to walk on water? God causing you to walk on water means God making a way where there seems to be no way. Remember the children of Israel? When you are traveling and you meet water do you continue? You should not except you can swim. God causing you to walk on water means that God will make a way where there seems to be no way in your life in Jesus Name. Read the rest of this entry
Rooted In God
“Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me? Jer.32:27 [NKJV]
During my service year in Northern Nigeria, I used to go and pray for hours in some abandoned church hall. I would lie there and pray and I could touch the Presence of God. It was so real. The power of God was overwhelming on me. The villagers of course took note of this man who is always preaching and praying and so one day when one of them was dying they called on me to Read the rest of this entry
