God’s How

So he cried out to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a tree. When he cast it into the waters, the waters were made sweet. There He made a statute and an ordinance for them, and there He tested themEx.15:25 [KJV]

 

You and I need to stop worrying ourselves about how God will bring things to pass. God will do what only Him can do. So you do what you have to do and let God be God. Now by the grace of God when God sends a word of knowledge, I just say it and watch God bring it to pass. It was not always like that, back in the day I would say it but then struggle to stop my brain from trying to figure out how God is going to do it because guess what Read the rest of this entry

It’s Not About You!

“Didn’t I say …that you would do this, Lord? …You are eager to turn back from destroying people. Just kill me now, Lord! I’d rather be dead than alive if what I predicted will not happen.” The Lord replied, “Is it right for you to be angry about this?” Jonah 4:2-4

 

It really is not about you or me but about God and what He is doing. For some of us, this is all we need to hear today. After God delivered me and taught me this lesson, I could pray and people that were dying would come back to life and it didn’t mean anything to me. You know why it didn’t mean anything to me? I knew it wasn’t because of my prayers. I just did what I had to do and God did what He had to do. If you don’t understand this Read the rest of this entry

His Responsibility Not Yours

“Then Moses raised his hand over the sea, and the Lord opened up a path through the water with a strong east wind. The wind blew all that night, turning the seabed into dry land” Ex.14:21.

 

Back in the day, while I’m praying for someone that is sick, I try to figure out how the person will get healed. So I am praying but in my head I am thinking, ‘as I lay my hands on this person, maybe the anointing from heaven will land on my head, and then flow through my hand into the person’. But God delivered me from that long ago. People discover now that when I pray for someone to be healed it’s not a very long prayer. The Bible Read the rest of this entry

True Worth

‘So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them’ Gen.1:27.

 

I was checking on eBay for what people are willing to pay for clay and I saw a set of ceramic oranges being auctioned for $8,000. Someone also mentioned that he had seen a piece that sold for as much as $32,000. The reality is that clay itself is worthless. It is the worth that the potter inputs unto the work that gives it value. The clay itself cannot derive value, except the value that the potter attributes to it. The same goes for you; on your own you can do nothing. Jesus says, ‘without Me you Read the rest of this entry

His Dust

Then the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nostrils, and the man became a living person’ Gen.2:7.

 

From day one God had been creating different fantastic and beautiful things but everything that He created, He spoke it into being. He called forth light, birds, fish, and separated the waters by His words. God had created everything by the spoken word until the sixth day. Then the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nostrils, and the man became a living person’ Gen.2:7. Permit me to indulge your imaginative senses a little. The Read the rest of this entry

Will He Find You?

‘But when the Son of Man returns, how many will he find on the earth who have faith?’ Luke 18:8

 

‘All these people died still believing what God had promised them. They did not receive what was promised, but they saw it all from a distance and welcomed it. They agreed that they were foreigners and nomads here on earth’ Heb.11:13. The Bible says that patriarchs died still believing God. In a sense when God came for them, they still believed, they were pleasing to God. Let me ask you a question, if God does not grant that so urgent request when you want, are you still going to believe Read the rest of this entry

Trusting Love

‘I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.’ Ps.27:13 [KJV].

 

I would have given up or even fainted except I believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. I am here to say to you today that no matter how tough it is for you right now, you are going to see the goodness of the Lord, not only in heaven but also in the land of the living. And if you are seeing the goodness of the Lord already, then guess what, you are going to see another level of the goodness of the Lord. The preacher, Rick Warren, puts it this way, “since I know God loves me totally and wants what’s best for me I don’t have to understand every move He makes in my life”. It is when you have totally accepted that God loves you and that He wants the best for you that you will realize you don’t have to understand every move He makes. I am sure you agree that there are some certain things in life that just don’t make sense really? But since I know that God loves me totally and I have accepted the love of God, then I can be at peace amidst storms. If you are reading this today and you have not embraced or totally accepted the love of God, then let that be your starting point. When you accept that God loves you totally and God has got your back completely, guess what-even though you don’t understand everything, you will trust Him. Read the rest of this entry

The Difference

‘A widow of that city came to him repeatedly, saying, ‘Give me justice in this dispute with my enemy’ Luke 18:3

 

It is most heart breaking that we have a generation who close their eyes, shake their  heads, and pray to God for a miracle. And when nothing happens, seemingly, they curse God. A generation that starts to doubt God because they prayed yesterday and God did not answer today. God wants you to know that He’s got your back. He says, when you go through the fire, He will be with you. Sometimes, when God takes me through certain things I say to Him, ‘is this not too much for just one Read the rest of this entry

He’s Able

‘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 out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off?’ Luke 18:7

 

The future belongs to those who believe with all their heart that God is able to do all that He says He will do. The future belongs to those who believe with every cell in their body that if God says ‘A’, regardless of what they can see, ‘A’ will surely come to pass. The future does not belong to the people that say, seeing is believing. The future belongs to the people that say, if I believe then I will see. You know the story of Abram. Abram means exalted father yet he did not have a child. And Read the rest of this entry

No Excuses

The lazy person claims, “There’s a lion out there! If I go outside, I might be killed!”Prov.22:13.

 

One characteristic lazy people have in common is excuses. The lazy person always comes up with genuine and nicely packaged excuses. Think about it, someone says there’s a lion in the street and he doesn’t want to go out. If you advise the person to go out, won’t you look like a bad person? That’s the problem with the lazy man. He pitches his excuse so that when you advise otherwise, you look like a bad person.
