Death To Life V
“Always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body… So then death is working in us, but life in you” 2Cor.4:10, 12 [NKJV, emphasis added].
Every parent understands this principle of life. Every good parent knows that they need to sacrifice so that their children can have a great future. Good parents choose to pay the children’s school fees over buying a new bag. Every parent knows that [as it were] death is working in us so that life can come out through our children. In fact, when a mother gives birth in the western part of Nigeria, the Yoruba people say “eku ewu omo” meaning you have just come Read the rest of this entry
iBelieve
“Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die. Do you believe this, Martha?” John 11:25-26 [emphasis added]
It is one thing to believe in the Person of Jesus, it is another thing entirely to believe in the Power of Jesus. I have friends [even pastors] that are believers in Christ Jesus, the person of Jesus. But they doubt the Power of God. I say to them and I am saying to you, the Power of God is real. God is saying to you today, beyond believing in My Person, I need you to believe in My Power. It is one thing to believe in who He is. It is another thing entirely to believe in what God can do. Close your eyes and focus on that issue. Jesus is saying, I need you to believe in what I can do. I Read the rest of this entry
He Is Able!
“Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die. Do you believe this, Martha?” John 11:25-26 [emphasis added]
“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 11:32 [emphasis added]. Mary and Martha’s responses show us that the Jesus they know is the Jesus that can heal the sick. And sometimes, God allows us to go through situations that would make us perplexed, just to show us that He is still the same Jesus, that can not only heal the sick but can raise the dead.
Persistent Faith
“I tell you, He will defend and protest and avenge them speedily. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find [persistence in] faith on the earth?” Luke 18:8 [AMP]
Even if you die believing, die believing. Believe God! “Then the Lord said, “Learn a lesson from this unjust judge. Even he rendered a just decision in the end. So don’t you think God will surely give justice to his chosen people who cry to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will grant justice to them quickly! But when the Son of Man returns, how many will he find on the earth who have faith?” Luke 18:6-8. The problem with us is that we give up so easily in our hearts. Believe me it is a problem. Jesus says, “But how much of that kind of Read the rest of this entry
Key Thoughts IV
“And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that He rewards those who sincerely seek Him” Heb.11:6.
I know of someone that joined NASA because he wanted to go to space. But NASA was not really taking people to space. So he left NASA and created his own company. Today, he is giving people the space experience. Do not get satisfied too easily. I pray that God will give you a holy dissatisfaction because until you get dissatisfied, you cannot make progress. Until you are Read the rest of this entry
Key Thoughts II
“Give freely and become more wealthy; be stingy and lose everything” Prov.11:24
As long as you are on earth, you are going to be dealing with people. People are capable of giving you the greatest joy in life. People are capable of causing you the greatest pain in life. It is people that are going to open the door to your next level or stand in the door way and try to frustrate your life. Everyone you are in a relationship with, you are dealing with [your boss, Read the rest of this entry
Be On The Offensive
“One day Jesus told his disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up. I tell you, he will grant justice to them quickly! But when the Son of Man returns, how many will he find on the earth who have faith?” Luke 18:1 & 8
In Luke 18, Jesus tells us the story of the persistent widow who went to the judge seeking justice but the judge did not pay her any attention. And this woman kept on attacking this judge until he cracked and gave her what she wanted. “I tell you, he will grant justice to them quickly! But when the Son of Man returns, how many will he find on the earth who have faith?” Luke 18:8. When people come across the word faith in this portion of scripture, they Read the rest of this entry
Your Part
“But the man of God was angry with him. “You should have struck the ground five or six times!” he exclaimed. “Then you would have beaten Syria until it was entirely destroyed. Now you will be victorious only three times.” Then Elisha died and was buried” 2 Kings 13:19-20
The second thing that bothered me when I read the story in 2Kings 13:14-20 is our scripture reference for today. Scripture says, “Then Elisha died and was buried” 2 Kings 13:20. Meaning the king did not have an opportunity to appeal. The king did not get the chance to say I did not understand what you were saying, give me a second chance. After all Prophet Read the rest of this entry
Rejoice! Help Is Here!
“…Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper” 2Chr.20:20
When Eli made that statement, Hannah’s response was, “Oh, thank you, sir!” she exclaimed. Then she went back and began to eat again, and she was no longer sad” 1 Sam.1:18. Hannah was no longer sad. But the problem is people fear evil significantly more than they accept good. If some mad man or spiritualist dressed in his regalia were to walk up to an average person and curses the 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
