Pursue Peace
‘Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty’ Ps.91:1
And if you look at the history of man, man has always been at loggerheads with man. There is no weapon that man has made that man did not use. Check, every weapon man has used. From stone that Cain used to murder Abel, to arrows, knives, guns, and bombs. So the question is not if the weapons that exist will be used, rather the question is where will you be when they will be used. For us as believers, God wants us to pursue peace and be Read the rest of this entry
Prioritize Hunger!
‘Is any one thirsty? Come and drink-even if you have no money! Come, take your choice of wine or milk-it’s all free!’ Isa.55:1.
Come and drink-even if you have no money! Come, take your choice of wine or milk-it’s all free! Who is to come? You are! Yet the challenge with a lot of us, the reason why we don’t get this hunger fed and our thirst filled is because we do not understand the priority of hunger. My grand mother would say, ‘if hunger enters a man, nothing else can enter the man’. So hunger must be attended to. Jesus says, ‘seek first the kingdom of God and his Read the rest of this entry
Generating Hunger
‘Don’t shuffle along, eyes to the ground, absorbed with the things right in front of you. Look up, and be alert to what is going on around Christ-that’s where the action is. See things from his perspective’ Col.3:2 [MSG]
No matter how long you have been a Christian for, it is important to know how to generate a hunger for God; How to continually stir yourself up in seeking God. The first way is to set your love on Him. Just choose to set your love on Him [Col.3:2]. The Bible says set, as though it is our choice to do that because in truth you long for who you are in love with. Have you noticed? So how do I become thirsty for God? Set your affection on Him. Another way of Read the rest of this entry
Pay Attention
‘Sorrow is better than laughter, for sadness has a refining influence on us’ Ecc.7:3
When you weigh everything that is really bothering you in light of eternity what does it amount to? If you check a funeral suit, there are no pockets because you cannot take your wallet with you. Your mobile phone someone else is going to use it. And who ever insists on being buried dressed in gold or with precious stones so they can bribe the angels on the way because some people think like that. After they have put them in the ground, that same night the people that will exhume the body and collect the jewelry are Read the rest of this entry
Cleansing Effect
‘Better to spend your time at funerals than at parties. After all, everyone dies- so the living should take this to heart. Sorrow is better than laughter, for sadness has a refining influence on us’ Ecc.7:2-3
God is saying if you have two invitations, one to a funeral and the other to a wedding, then set the invitation to the funeral above that of the wedding. You will be instructed more if you go to the funeral. I struggled with this for a long time as a person because I just don’t like seeing people suffer. It crushes me and I am not able to bear it. Visiting the sick in the hospital is not my ministry but there are some people who are gifted to see people whose legs are suspended and they are fine. I cannot stand it at least for now. I Read the rest of this entry
Do I Qualify?
‘You’re blessed when you feel you’ve lost what is most dear to you. Only then can you be embraced by the One most dear to you’ Mat.5:4 [MSG]
When Jesus says blessed are those who mourn, He is not referring to professional mourners. Professional mourners are people who are paid to fill an emotional gap at funerals. A crowd gathered outside the house of the little girl who was presumed dead in scripture. And when Jesus came and said that the girl was not dead but asleep, that same crowd of mourners began to laugh at Him. Were they really mourning? And at Jesus’ word they were put out and at His word the girl arose from her sleep. Jesus is not talking Read the rest of this entry
Raising The Bar
‘God, create a pure heart in me, and make my spirit strong again’ Ps.51:10 [ERV]
God can skip a whole generation and look for you because your heart is right. The greatest prophet in the land made the mistake of judging by the exterior about six times and God kept saying no. The Bible says until they found David everybody was standing and when David came the Holy Ghost said to him that is the man. I am praying in the Name of Jesus that every thing will stand at attention until you show up because your heart will be right Read the rest of this entry
Display Mercy
‘Shouldn’t you have mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had mercy on you?’ Matt.18:33.
There was a king in a far away country that had several subjects. Mufu was one of the king’s subjects, a successful businessman with a lot of business ideas. Mufu needed to borrow money to fund some of his ideas. The king out of generosity allowed Mufu to borrow money from the treasury. Over time Mufu borrowed several millions from the king. Mufu had a friend Kofi, and while Mufu was borrowing from the king, Kofi was borrowing from Mufu. Mufu Read the rest of this entry
Not Weakness
‘How blessed are the meek! for they will inherit their land’ Matt.5:5 [CJB]
Wikipedia.com defines meekness as power under control. Real meekness is power under control and not weakness. If you look at the root word for meekness in the Greek Prautes it means the middle point between two extremes – getting angry unreasonably [the Greek word orgulotes] and not getting angry at all [the Greek word aorgesia]. In other words, meekness is getting angry at the right time, in the right measure, and for the right reasons. The Word of God says, ‘be angry but do not sin’. In other words, you are not Read the rest of this entry
Blessedness!
‘How blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the land’ Matt.5:5 [CJB]
There are things that we all want from life. Things such as face to face communication with God, access to the resources of heaven, comfort when we are going through affliction, to inherit the earth, we want people to call us children of God, and we want to have possessions and prosperity. Jesus has His own way to achieving this ‘blessedness’ and we are trusting God to open our eyes and teach us Himself as we walk daily with Him. ‘Blessed Read the rest of this entry
