Persistent Faith
‘Now pick up the other arrows and strike them against the ground. So the king picked them up and struck the ground three times. But the man of God was angry with him. “You should have struck the ground five or six times!’ 2 Kings 13:18-19
The key to breaking barriers is persistence. You cannot afford to go halfway and stop. Breaking barriers requires that you be unrelenting, do all that is required, and go all the way. You must stubbornly persist until you get the result you seek. Scripture gives us several examples of men and women who Read the rest of this entry
Give It To God
‘Give your burdens to the LORD, and He will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall’ Ps.55:22
‘Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest’ Matt.11:28. There are some necessary baggages; the one Jesus offers is one you can carry. Guess what, satan also gives baggage but they will never find a place in your life in Jesus Name. Every expectation from the enemy Read the rest of this entry
Unfulfilled Expectations From Self
‘Suddenly, Jesus’ words flashed through Peter’s mind: Before the rooster crows, you will deny three times that you even know me. And he went away, weeping bitterly’ Matt.26:75
From time to time we tend to disappoint ourselves. We have certain expectations of ourselves and our inability to deliver result in disappointments with self. There are certain things that we think we can do but we let ourselves down when we are unable to follow through. Many times we experience Read the rest of this entry
You Need To Know IV
‘Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour’ Isa.45:15 [KJV]
You need to know that God commits to ‘what’ but doesn’t always commit to ‘how’. God, most of the time, will commit to ‘what’ He will do. He will commit to His promises for you. He will commit to the big picture that He has for you. He will make personal promises to you, perhaps in the area of fruitfulness, finances, promotions or establishment. God commits to ‘what’ but God never commits to ‘how’. The ‘how’ He will do it stays with Him. I have a feeling that God does not Read the rest of this entry
Dissolve Fear
‘…We can’t go up against them! They are stronger than we are! We even saw giants there… Next to them we felt like grasshoppers, and that’s what they thought, too!’ Num.13:31-33
God wants to do the unimaginable in our lives. However, there are certain things that you and I need to check. Things in our lives that we may be cooperating with to keep God boxed. Things that tend to limit the influence of God in our lives. Fear is one such things which you and I must let the Holy Spirit work in us to dissolve completely. Fear attempts to strangle faith. Without faith Read the rest of this entry
New Level
‘…Lord, if it’s really you, tell me to come to you, walking on the water. Yes, come, Jesus said. So Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus Matt.14:28-29
Moving from one place to another requires first a decision to let go of point ‘A’ and enter into the relatively new point ‘B’. For you to enter into your new level, you must also be willing to enter the new and exit the old. If you are unwilling to move, entering the new level will be totally impossible. You must be willing Read the rest of this entry
Fulfilling Prophecy III
‘Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see’ Heb.11:1
The final step to fulfilling prophecy is that you Walk in it. Having faith and walking confidently depends on where your focus is. The way your life is currently is because of who you have been focusing on. Faith looks to God and acts based on His Word. Faith always has corresponding [appropriate] action.

God’s Ways
‘My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts, says the LORD. And My ways are far beyond anything you could imagine’ Isa.55:8.
‘My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts, says the LORD. And My ways are far beyond anything you could imagine’. You cannot predict God’s ways but you can align with them. God will not work according to your timing but according to His purpose. We must constantly remind ourselves that God’s Read the rest of this entry
Dispelling Internal Storms
‘When besieged, I’m calm as a baby. When all hell breaks loose, I’m collected and cool’ Ps.27:3 [MSG]
The storm within is more lethal than the storm without. As soon as you secure the presence of God, the first thing He proceeds to deal with is your internal storm. Jesus has to address every internal storm of anxiety, worry, depression, fear, uncertainty, and doubt; before dealing with the storm without [Matt.6:25]. Of course you will find yourself having to go through very tough situations. You must choose not to worry but instead keep your heart stayed on God. You may not have the answers but you know the God who has all the Read the rest of this entry
Securing His Presence
‘Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me’ Ps.23:4 [KJV]
The major key to stilling every storm in our lives is securing the presence of God. Safety they say is not in the absence of danger but in the presence of the Lord. His presence guarantees your safety and deliverance inspite of the storm. This is why you repeatedly hear people testify that even though they experienced real life storms with waves crashing and all, their boats did not capsize. ‘Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for You are close beside me. Your rod and Your staff protect and comfort me’ Read the rest of this entry
