Inspite Of The Hard Place
“You had little indeed before I came, but your wealth has increased enormously. The Lord has blessed you through everything I’ve done. But now, what about me? When can I start providing for my own family?” Gen.30:30
Over the next few days, we are going to learn what it takes to bloom in a difficult place. And I believe God will change your life totally with His Word. Please read Genesis 30:25-43. The first thing that jumps out at us from this portion of scripture is that Jacob was in a difficult place. Unfortunately, when a lot of people find themselves Read the rest of this entry
Indestructible Word
“For through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see… Everything was created through him and for him. He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together” Col.1:16-17
Yesterday, we established the fact that the material a substance is made up of determines its strength and reliability. “But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men, And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man” John2:24-25. Jesus knew what they were made up of. Read the rest of this entry
Prisoner Of Time?
“Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if only you had been here, my brother would not have died… When Mary arrived and saw Jesus, she fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if only you had been here, my brother would not have died.” John 11:21 & 32.
When our timing does not sync with God’s timing we begin to doubt His reliability. Mary and Martha sent a message to Jesus, “the one You love is sick”. But Jesus did not respond based on their timing. Instead He stayed behind even though He loved Lazarus, Jesus did not operate with the timing of Mary and Martha. Jesus eventually Read the rest of this entry
Reliable God!
“Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end” Ecc.3:11
Reliability is something that we crave in our relationships. If you are in any kind of relationship with anyone, you will subconsciously crave for the person to be at least reliable. Imagine having colleagues that are not reliable and having to work on the same project with them. As a businessman, imagine having some employees that are Read the rest of this entry
It Is Well
“The righteous person faces many troubles, but the Lord comes to the rescue each time” Ps.34:19.
A wise man said, when you go through a challenging time, it can do one of three things:
#1. It can destroy you. But I am praying because Jesus is with you, it will not destroy you. Read the rest of this entry
With Me And For Me
“…And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matt.28:20
What empowers you to live a life of purity is the fact that Jesus is near. Guess what, Jesus is not only near but He is watching to see what you will do. There are many things that you are struggling with today that you will receive instant deliverance from, just with the full realization of the Presence of Jesus beside you. And guess Read the rest of this entry
He Is Here
“Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means ‘God is with us’” Matt.1:23 [emphasis added].
“…And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age” Matt.18:20. We do not have to beg or cajole God to be with us or come along with us. He is here with us already. When Jesus was going [John 14], He said I am going but I will come again to you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come in and with My Spirit. So the Holy Spirit was released to us. In fact, He is known as the Spirit of Read the rest of this entry
He Answers
“It was not because of his sins or his parents’ sins,” Jesus answered. “This happened so the power of God could be seen in him” John 9:3.
Jesus is The Answer and as The Answer, He was asked a whole lot of questions. I did a little bit of research and I discovered that Jesus was asked about a hundred and ten documented questions. That’s a lot in three years. Thirty-seven out of the one hundred and ten questions were asked by Jesus Himself. Jesus would ask a question and He would answer it Himself. Read the rest of this entry
Right Now I
‘God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea’ Ps.46:1-2 [KJV]
I don’t know the phase of life you are in right now. I don’t know what struggles you are going through or dealing with. But I am here to tell you that God is your very present help. Present means now. You may have bills to pay, or perhaps your rent is due, maybe you have accommodation issues, or even a career issue, perhaps you have a health challenge, or you Read the rest of this entry
Refuse To Be Offended II
‘For I tell you this, you will never see me again until you say, ‘Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the Lord!’ Matt.23:39
Job’s wife probably ate with him on the same plate and enjoyed all the wealth with him. But now Job was going through a hard time and this same wife said, “you are still maintaining your integrity before this God? curse God and die” [Job 2:9]. Perhaps so that she can marry somebody else. That’s my thinking because why else would she want him dead? She didn’t say it but why did she want him to die? Probably Read the rest of this entry
