Blessed Assurance
Isa. 54:10 (GN) “The mountains and hills may crumble but My love for you will never end, so says the Lord who loves you.”
For us to live a life of gratitude where we are able to genuinely and consistently say “thank You Lord”, we must experience three dimensions of freedom – Jesus Christ must set us free from the pain of the past, Read the rest of this entry
Cut Lose
John 8:32 “And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” …36 So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free.”
For us to live free, we must experience three dimensions of freedom; freedom from the Pain of Yesterday, freedom from the Pressure of Today, and freedom from the Pessimism of Tomorrow. Read the rest of this entry
Get Light
Matt.11:29 (NKJV) “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
Having a culture of gratitude is really powerful; in our personal lives, in our families. In the God’s Favourite House church family, having a culture of gratitude is very deliberate. Read the rest of this entry
No More
Ps.31:20 (AMPC) “In the secret place of Your presence You hide them from the plots of men; You keep them secretly in Your pavilion from the strife of tongues.”
We have experienced true freedom; God has set us free and the shackles are actually broken. However, it is one thing for the shackles to be broken and you are free. Read the rest of this entry
Prodigal Love
Ps.23: 5 “You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings” [with emphasis]
God wants to show the world that you belong to Him, so no one should mess with you. The real reason some of us want God to kill our enemies is so that it will be well with our children and so they can live in safety. Read the rest of this entry
Uphold Her Glory!
Isa.54:14 “You will be secure under a government that is just and fair. Your enemies will stay far away. You will live in peace, and terror will not come near.”
Today, we are taking a break from our study to focus on our Nigeria. Sometimes, when we think about Nigeria, particularly for those who are vested in this country, it is a sweet and sour experience. Read the rest of this entry
Right Leading
Ps.23:1 “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. 3 He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake” [NKJV, with emphasis].
David shows us a very clear progression here. There has to be a making and there has to be a leading before there can be a restoration. The reason it has been impossible for people Read the rest of this entry
Is He?
Ps.23:1 “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” [NKJV, with emphasis]
The first question Psalm 23 [please read] confronts us with is, who is your shepherd? David categorically says the Lord is my shepherd. You and I need to answer this question for ourselves, who is your shepherd? Read the rest of this entry
True Freedom
Eze.34:14 (GNT) “I will let them graze in safety in the mountain meadows and the valleys and in all the green pastures of the land of Israel. 15 I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will find them a place to rest. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken.
What we discover as we walk with God in freedom is that God is more than enough. God is not just enough, or to get us by, God is more than enough. Psalm 23 is a Psalm that most of us can recite by heart. Read the rest of this entry
Habitation
Ps.27:4 (TPT) “…the one thing I seek above all else: I want the privilege of living with him every moment in his house, finding the sweet loveliness of his face, filled with awe, delighting in his glory and grace. I want to live my life so close to him that he takes pleasure in my every prayer.”
I see myself as God’s boy, God’s sheep and freedom for the sheep does not mean running away from the shepherd. In fact, the sheep is only free when it is with the shepherd. We learnt yesterday that one of the major keys to walking in freedom is the presence of the Spirit of Christ. Read the rest of this entry
