A Child’s Heart

Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; the rod of correction will drive it far from him” Prov.22:15 [NKJV]

 

You need to accept the fact that people will always talk. And like we said yesterday, it was not any different in Jesus’ time. So just make up your mind to be all that God has created you to be and do not entertain people’s opinions. Sometime last year, the story of the Baltimore mum made headlines. A young man was practically killed by the police in Baltimore and so a riot broke out. The youngsters took to the streets to protest and before long it turned into looting and all sorts of lawless behavior.

Use Your Brain!

“Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint” ” Prov.29:18  [ESV, emphasis added]

 

Clarity is key! Seek clarity with all your might. Clarity comes from God speaking and from clear thinking. Many times we are asking God to speak and God will speak. But sometimes God wants you to think. You must know the difference.

Some time ago, it was a period of fuel scarcity. I hate fuel scarcity and I am sure you do too. So there was this petrol Read the rest of this entry

Focus!

Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful” Josh.1:8 [NIV, emphasis added].

 

The principle of The Objective states thus: “Direct all efforts towards a clearly defined, decisive & attainable objective. Three key things jump out immediately from this definition. Direct all efforts towards a Clearly Defined, Decisive and Attainable objective.

#2. Decisive: In the words of Major General Karl Von Clausewitz, “Pursue one great decisive aim with force and Read the rest of this entry

Easter

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8

 

When I was a little boy, my father bought me a bicycle. The bicycle changed my life totally. It released power to me at least as far as my mobility was concerned. All my mates did not have bicycles. I remember riding my bicycle and all the children on our street will run after me and it made me feel very powerful. It was so profound to me because for the first time in my life, I had power to move faster than Read the rest of this entry

Keys

“Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men” Prov. 22:29 [KJV, emphasis added]

 

God wants you to Stand Tall in your industry because you are representing the Kingdom of God in that industry. It is so important for us to set our minds on this and keep it set. So I will teach you two keys to help you. The two keys to Standing Tall in your industry; the first is diligence and the second is excellence. You will Stand Tall, not before dwarfs but before Giants but you have to be diligent. Secondly, you have to execute with excellence. It is not enough to be Read the rest of this entry

Kingdom Rep

“Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men” Prov. 22:29 [KJV, emphasis added]

 

1Samuel 17:22-37. David came to the battle front as an errand boy but then he heard Goliath fuming and saw every soldier in Israel hiding. So he started asking what the reward would be for the man that kills Goliath. Eliab heard this and began to talk down on David. The ‘Eliab’s’ will always confuse God confidence with self-confidence. So they will try to reduce you to nothing, make you feel inferior, make Read the rest of this entry

Go!

“Go to the lost, confused people right here in the neighborhood. Tell them that the kingdom is here. Bring health to the sick. Raise the dead. Touch the untouchables. Kick out the demons. You have been treated generously, so live generously. Matt.10:7&8 [MSG]

God does not only want you to have the Kingdom, God wants you to propagate the Kingdom. Sadly, this is where a lot of Christians miss it. Sometimes, it is also the fault of the Pastors because they do not preach it. So a lot of Christians think that the Kingdom of God is about them. All they are thinking about is how God will sort them out. God says, that is the least of the problem. The question is, what will you do when you are anointed? When you are Read the rest of this entry

Access Control V

“Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends” Rev.3:20

You need to shut the door at negative influences. Some of us just need to shut the door at gossip. Gossip is a negative influence. The story comes to you and it has a way of burning on your insides until you speak it out. It is as if fire is in your bosom, have you heard? Did you know? So you pass it on from one Read the rest of this entry

Access Control IV

 So I tell you, live the way the Spirit leads you. Then you will not do the evil things your sinful self wants. The sinful self wants what is against the Spirit, and the Spirit wants what is against the sinful self” Gal.5:16-17 [ERV]

God is bringing us into a new season and so it is key that you and I shut the door to satan in our lives and shut the door to bad habits. You insist on drinking alcohol but it is destroying your liver. And the Bible says your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and what does God say He will do to anyone who Read the rest of this entry

Being A Christian

“This same Good News that came to you is going out all over the world. It is bearing fruit everywhere by changing lives, just as it changed your lives from the day you first heard and understood the truth about God’s wonderful grace” Col.1:6

 

The Word of God is so powerful, rich, beautiful, and so amazing. We are going to be spending a lot of time with God’s Word over the next few weeks as we study the Book of Colossians. Please study Colossians chapter one as we kick off our study from there. Being a Christian is all about life change. The Word of God has come to us to change our lives.
