With You Always

As evening came, Jesus said to his disciples, “Let’s cross to the other side of the lake.” So they took Jesus in the boat and started out, leaving the crowds behind… Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on a cushion…’ Mark4:35-38.

 

Many of us today are in the same position the disciples found themselves in today’s scripture reference. We know we are walking with Jesus, we are His sheep and we hear His voice. We have obediently followed His instructions to cross over to the other side but here we are in the eye of the storm as it were. The first thing you need to know is that even when God is for you, you will still experience storms. And like the disciples, we sometimes are perplexed that if Jesus is in this boat Read the rest of this entry

Do It Daily

‘And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land, which thou, O Lord, hast given me. And thou shalt set it before the Lord thy God, and worship before the Lord thy God’ Deut.26:10 [KJV]

 

The fifth thing you have to reinforce or learn these last few days of the year and put before you in the coming year is make God priority. You must make God priority daily. Everyone that will have a significant walk with God, that will walk in unprecedented prosperity, and favour must understand the place of prioritizing God. It is called the principle of first fruits. If you check from Genesis to Revelations, God demonstrates this principle in different scenarios but it is the same principle. The God first principle! Who taught Abel to bring the first fruit of his flock to God? Something on the inside of Read the rest of this entry

Seed and Bread

‘Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise’ Heb.10:23.

 

Everyone that walks with God must necessarily go through storms. Even David had to speak to himself and query his heart. ‘Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? Hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance’ Ps.42:5 [KJV]. Have you ever come to God and He turned you back because He was too tired? Have you ever placed a demand on heaven and the response came Read the rest of this entry

Healing Word

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light’ Matt.11:28-30 [KJV].

 

Today, God’s Word for you is ‘Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your soulsFor my yoke is easy, and my burden is light’ Matt.11:28-30 [KJV]. Jesus the Son of the Living God is saying come and He will give you rest. Those of us that need to have children or more children, I see you Read the rest of this entry

Follow His Lead

The Holy Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and walk along beside the carriage. Philip ran over and heard the man reading from the prophet Isaiah. Philip asked, “Do you understand what you are reading?” Acts 8:29-30.

The second way to learn to give more, apart from being deliberate, is to go with the Holy Spirit. Whatever He says for you to do, do it! It is the Holy Spirit that knows the things that your heart has begun to or beginning to worship and He can tell you to give it away because He is a jealous God. Obey the promptings of the Holy Spirit. I am praying that in God’s Favourite House it will be known that if you go there you will find God and your life will change. That people will say that you can just go into God’s Favourite house with Read the rest of this entry

Rich Givers

Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and generous to those in need, always being ready to share with others’ 1Tim.6:18.

 

God has blessed me with more than I need. I am grateful. I am rich. I will not trust in riches but in Him who richly provides for me. It is important that you realize that you are rich. It is not so much of a prophecy, it is a fact, and it is the truth. You are rich. Let me remind you that if you earn fifty thousand a month for instance, you are richer than five billion people on earth and you are in the top 21% richest Read the rest of this entry

Consider This I

‘Then he took his staff in his hand, chose five smooth stones from the stream, put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag and, with his sling in his hand, approached the Philistine’ 1 Sam.17:40 [NIV]

 

There are a few interesting things that I want to bring to your attention. Firstly, Saul gave David his own armor. But after trying them on, David knew that this was not going to work for him so he took it off because he had not proved them. Then David looked at goliath and deployed innovative thinking. If you remember in the story, David said to Saul, the Lion came and I killed it. I held it by the beard and killed Read the rest of this entry

Unto Thyself Be True III

‘Against you, and you alone, have I sinned; I have done what is evil in your sight.
You will be proved right in what you say,
and your judgment against me is just’ Ps.51:4.

 

God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God’ Eph.2:8 [KJV]. Faith is an action word; faith is not passive believing. Repentance is faith that gives you access to the grace that saves you. Without repentance, you cannot access the grace that can save, even though Jesus has paid for it. If I could survive six years without fornicating, you can do it too. God that Read the rest of this entry

Unto Thyself Be True II

‘Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God,
The God of my salvation,
And my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness’ Ps.51:14 [NIV].

 

Secondly, true repentance comes clean. ‘Forgive me for shedding blood, O God who saves;
then I will joyfully sing of your forgiveness’ Ps.51:14. David was specific about what he was repenting for. People come to God to confess their sins and they say, “O Lord, You know I’ve been a bad boy/girl, forgive me of all my sins”. And they want to move on meanwhile God is saying, “I am ready to forgive you but which Read the rest of this entry

Unto Thyself Be True I

For I recognize my rebellion; it haunts me day and nightPs.51:3

 

The fourth thing we need to know about sin is that sin shuts your mouth. You may attempt to sing praises to God and the accuser would refresh your mind about your sin. You can’t praise God. Picture this, David picks up his harp and begins to sing a Psalm unto the Lord and the enemy whispers “Uriah”. David’s lips become sealed. David goes to the balcony and just as he is about to sing another Psalm unto the Lord the Read the rest of this entry
