What Works?
“Then Jesus explained: “My nourishment comes from doing the will of God, who sent me, and from finishing his work” John 4:34
If you look at the life of the older son and the life of the younger son in Luke 15, one thing is consistent – work! The older son was working in his father’s vineyard, the younger son was applying for work. But one’s works is good works and the others’ works is dead works. It’s possible to be serving God with dead works but it’s also Read the rest of this entry
Alpha And Omega
“I am the Alpha and the Omega—the beginning and the end,” says the Lord God. “I am the one who is, who always was, and who is still to come—the Almighty One.” Rev.1:8
Jesus is Alpha and Omega. Jesus is not just the Alpha and Omega; He is everything else in between. Jesus is at the center of it all. Even though He is the Alpha, even though He is the Omega, Jesus is at the center of everything. H. G. Wells says, “I am a historian, I am not a believer. But I must confess as a historian that this penniless preacher from Nazareth is irrevocably the very center of history. Jesus Christ is easily the most dominant figure in all history”. Jesus Christ is irrevocably the center of history. The dating system Read the rest of this entry
Lord, Can I?
‘And David inquired of the Lord, “Shall I pursue this raiding party? Will I overtake them?” “Pursue them,” he answered. “You will certainly overtake them and succeed in the rescue” 1 Sam.30:8 [NIV]
The third thing you do when where you are contradicts where you have been, when what you are seeing is trying to reproach what you have seen in God, when the circumstances around you or your situation are speaking contrary to your experiences, is to ask Him for permission to do the impossible.
God First!
‘Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need’ Matt.6:33
This is God’s Word for you today. ‘…Don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need’ Matt.6:31-33. The key to having everything you need is making God priority. God is saying don’t become consumed with 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
Keep Your Flock
‘But David persisted. “I have been taking care of my father’s sheep and goats,” he said. “When a lion or a bear comes to steal a lamb from the flock, I go after it with a club and rescue the lamb from its mouth…’ 1Sam.17:34-35
The key to the shepherds experiencing glory was in minding their business [Luke 2:8-9]. When you mind your business, then heaven is able to trust you with new business [Luke 16:10]. ‘So an elder must be a man whose life is above reproach. He must be faithful to his wife. He must exercise self-control, live wisely, and have a good reputation. He must enjoy having guests in his home, and he must be able to teach. He must not be a heavy drinker or be violent. He must be gentle, not quarrelsome, and not love money. He must manage his own family well, having children who respect and obey him. For if a man cannot manage his own household, how can he take care of God’s church?’ [1Tim.3:2-5]. Read the rest of this entry
Walking with God
‘I will set My dwelling in and among you, and My soul shall not despise or reject or separate itself from you. And I will walk in and with and among you and will be your God, and you shall be My people’ Lev. 26:11-12.
God wants to have a relationship with you. Through Jesus, He established a more personal relationship with us were we can talk to Him personally and not through a priest. Walking with God requires two things; agreeing with God and pleasing God.
Agreement: Walking with God requires an agreement [Amos 3:3]. You must ask yourself truthfully, are you in Read the rest of this entry
Prosperity Test II
“Yes, a person is a fool to store up earthly wealth but not have a rich relationship with God” Luke 12:21
Caution! How you respond determines how heaven responds. How that man, Scripture describes him as the ‘rich fool’ responded determined how God responded. “But God said to him, ‘You fool! You will die this very night. Then who will get everything you worked for?’ Luke 12:20. When you get that windfall – it is a test. When you get that promotion – it is a test. God is testing you. And I am praying that you will pass the test in Read the rest of this entry
Prosperity Test I
‘He said to himself, ‘What should I do? I don’t have room for all my crops.’ Then he said, ‘I know! I’ll tear down my barns and build bigger ones. Then I’ll have room enough to store all my wheat and other goods’ Luke 12:17-18.
Every time you get an increase or a breakthrough and you are wondering what to do with it, be sure heaven is also wondering what you would do with it. That is the prosperity test. And like every other test, people can either fail or pass the prosperity test. The man in Luke 12:16-19 shows us clearly how to fail the test. Failing the prosperity test is simple – believe that ‘the more’ is always for you. To fail the test I believe that Read the rest of this entry
More and More
‘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.
I will intentionally give more and more and more. When you come to see me in the office, I am usually dressed simply, T-Shirt and jeans. When God blesses me with lets say three hundred and fifty million dollars [say Amen], you will still see me dressed in my jeans and T-shirt at the office. I am not going to now begin to wear Armani suits to the office. I deliberately will try to maintain my level of living so that I can Read the rest of this entry
