Very Good!
‘And God saw everything that He had made, and behold it was very good (suitable, pleasant) and He approved it completely. And there was the evening and there was the morning, a sixth day’ Gen.1:31 [AMP]
When reading the first chapter in Genesis, you’d observe that God created the heavens, the firmament, the stars, the sun, the moon, the earth, the vegetation, and all the animals. He even created a special garden before He made man. This simply points to the fact that God always goes ahead of us to prepare a place for us. And sometimes the place He prepares for us is in the presence of our enemies. While God is preparing a Read the rest of this entry
The Beginning
‘Then God said, ‘Let there be light’, and there was light. And God saw that the light was good. Then he separated the light from the darkness’ Gen. 1:3-4.
If you are reading this today and the best way to describe what you have been going through is a dark season. Then rejoice because the evening and night are passing today and the day has arrived. The man by the pool had Jesus the Sun of Righteousness [Mal.4:2] in front of him and his darkness yet, he was still going by logic. People of God, the Sun of Righteousness is before you even now. I know you are Read the rest of this entry
A New Dawn!
‘The people will no longer quote this proverb: the parents have eaten sour grapes, but their children’s mouths pucker at the taste. All people will die for their own sins – those who eat the sour grapes will be the ones whose mouths will pucker’ Jer. 31:29 -30.
There are people who are stuck in yesterday but by no fault of theirs. It is because they are victims of an ancestral cycle, a cycle that just keeps going round in their family. Today that cycle will be broken in your life in the Mighty Name of Jesus. Believe me! Stop trying to ration it out because of the number of deliverances you have gone for. Don’t be like that man by the pool. Just believe that the cycle has Read the rest of this entry
Fresh Start II
‘Satisfy us each morning with your unfailing love, so we may sing for joy to the end of our lives’ Ps.90: 14.
As the day breaks for some of us, our fresh start would be the next level of entrepreneurship. But it is important for you to know that it does not get easier when you run your own business. I encounter a lot of people who are tired of working under someone and want to start their own business. If that is your only motivation, then you might just be looking for another job very quickly. You need to Read the rest of this entry
Fresh Start I
The faithful love of the LORD never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. Lam.3:22-23
The first thing you need to know as the day breaks, is that you get a new and a fresh start. You get a new and a fresh start. Every morning, as this season affords us, gives us the prospect of fresh opportunities of God’s mercy. Some of us actually believe that we have exhausted God’s faithfulness. Guess what you have not. He is going to show you another dimension of faithfulness today and you will Read the rest of this entry
Fig Tree Praise
‘Even though the fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the vines; even though the olive crop fails, and the fields lie empty and barren… yet I will rejoice in the Lord! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!’ Hab.3:17-18
Worry and gratitude really cannot cohabit. You cannot be worried and be grateful at the same time. The children of Israel totally gave themselves to worrying that it was almost impossible to sustain their gratitude to God. When they met opposition on their way to the Promised Land, a lot of the time they grumbled and complained. And this made God frustrated with them. God was saying and is saying to you and I today, “don’t you understand who I Am? Don’t you understand that I cannot take you from Egypt and allow you Read the rest of this entry
Remember
‘Remember how the LORD your God led you through the wilderness for these forty years, humbling you and testing you to prove your character, and to find out whether or not you would obey his commands’ Deut.8:2
If you see a judgmental person, you have seen somebody that has forgotten. If you come across a Christian that is irritable with someone that is far from God, someone that is not dressing well, or behaving properly. When you come across a Christian that this puts off totally and now goes around with a ‘holier than thou’ attitude, you have met a Christian who has forgotten. In fact, you have met an ungrateful person who does not remember what God has brought him/her through. If you remember where Jesus has Read the rest of this entry
Encourage & Forgive
‘And he set the priests in their charges, and encouraged them to the service of the house of the Lord’ 2 Chro.35:2 [KJV]
This season you can show God’s love by giving a word of encouragement to the discouraged. Everybody can do with a word of encouragement. You will be shocked at the impact a word of encouragement can have even on a man of God. We were created for encouragement. A couple while visiting us shared how they became members of the church I pastor. They actually did not know where to worship on a Sunday morning and somehow stopped at God’s Favourite House. At that worship experience, God gave two specific Read the rest of this entry
