Mind My Own Business I
‘The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light’ Matt.6:22[KJV]
The third thing we have to reinforce or learn this year is that my job is to mind my own business. I am to mind my own business and you are to mind your own business. God is going to be doing amazing things in peoples lives. Thank God for what He is doing but focus on your own because God is going to be doing great things in your life too. Do not get Read the rest of this entry
Giving The Ultimate Gift
‘When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them’ Luke 2:17-18 [NIV]
I hope you plan to give gifts this Christmas. Christmas offers an amazing opportunity for everyone to give gifts of love to one another. God gave His Son Jesus and Jesus gave His life. It is because God gave that is why we can even celebrate Christmas today. Now the ball is in our court. What will you give your friends, family, in-laws, neighbors or even your enemies? God’s word Read the rest of this entry
The Law of Beginnings
‘Do not despise these small beginnings, for the LORD rejoices to see the work begin…’ Zec.4:10
It is God’s desire that we start from where we are and move to where He alone can take us. It is called the law of beginnings. Some people tend to ignore the beginning because they believe that the beginning does not determine the end. While this is true in some cases, it is also dangerous in many cases. There are some foundational things that must be sorted before starting any venture and Read the rest of this entry
Commitment vs. Routine
‘And so the Lord says, “These people say they are Mine. They honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me. And their worship of Me is nothing but man-made rules learned by rote’ Isa.29:13.
God wants us to be committed in everything we do. He wants us to be committed to Him, to our family, to our jobs, our relationships and career because without commitment we cannot grow. Yet when commitment is done in a such way that it has no meaning anymore, it becomes just a routine. For instance, a lot of people Read the rest of this entry
Honour God
‘Honour the Lord with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce’ Prov.3:9
God does not need our money but He wants us to honour Him. Why, because there are blessings attached to honouring God. Giving is a way of honouring God [Prov.3:9]. It is wisdom to honour God with our wealth because we know that nothing happens unless God approves it. Yet even with giving some approaches are Read the rest of this entry
Make Him Priority
‘The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the Lord they God’ Ex.23:19 [KJV]
What on earth are you making priority? A lot of times, we tend to make things that are not important and of no eternal value priority. ‘Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and He will give you everything you need’ Luke 12:31. God must come first in everything. He must be first in priority and first in sequence. A lot of times Read the rest of this entry
Give It All Out!
‘Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full—pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back’. Luke 6:38
The extent to which you give is the extent to which you will be blessed. The prodigal son left his house on the significant level and ended up on the survival level, in penury. The reason is because he spent everything and gave nothing. This will not be our portion in Jesus Name. Jacob on the other hand left his father’s house on Read the rest of this entry
Levels Of Living
‘Give to anyone who asks; and when things are taken away from you, don’t try to get them back’ Luke 6:30
There are three levels of living. Moving from one level to another requires giving [sowing]. You cannot expect to grow by consistently being on the receiving end. You grow by being a giver. No one is born to receive alone. In actual fact, receiving is a benefit of giving. We were born to give. Born to give life (birth), money, comfort, clothes, etc. If you have clothes you have not Read the rest of this entry
The Cross
‘Abba, Father, He cried out, everything is possible for You. Please take this cup of suffering away from Me. Yet I want Your will to be done, not Mine’ Mark.14:36
There comes a time in every life when our will crosses with the will of the Father. Giving can be a huge sacrifice but it’s the best way to be a blessing and be blessed. Jesus Himself struggled with giving His life and this was the one thing on His mind when He went to Gethsemane to pray. Scripture records that while He prayed that night, His sweat was like blood. He too asked the Read the rest of this entry
Stop Making Excuses
‘If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God whom we serve is able to save is. He will rescue us from your power, Your Majesty’ Daniel 3:17
God will not work with our timing but we have the assurance that He will always come through for us. Many times, because we love God and we don’t want to offend Him, we find ourselves making excuses for Him. God does not want us to make excuses for Him. God says I Am Who I Am; in other words, I AM able to perform. The secret of David’s victory is simple, every time he Read the rest of this entry
