Who?
“The Lord passed in front of Moses, calling out, “Yahweh! The Lord! The God of compassion and mercy! I am slow to anger and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness” Ex.34:6
It is human nature, when you are asked about yourself, to put your best foot forward. The ‘tell us about yourself’ question is very common at job interviews. And when people are presented with this question, their natural tendency is to tell only the good things about themselves, the things they consider Read the rest of this entry
In The Name
“And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing” Gen12:2 [KJV, emphasis added]
Diverse people introduce themselves differently and very often by the various titles they have acquired. The desire to establish greatness and stamp our authority drives us to seek titles. This is why you find people whose only pleasure and life’s purpose is to become a Chief, a Reverend, an Evangelist, or Read the rest of this entry
Called Out, Stand Out!
“It was by faith that Moses, when he grew up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. He chose to share the oppression of God’s people instead of enjoying the fleeting pleasures of sin” Heb.11:24-25
What is Moses’ example? Moses’ example is do not align with Egypt. Do not align with Egypt; the life of compromise always doesn’t count. Everyone that lives a life of compromise will end up living a worthless life. The life that will count is the life that stays true to its mission. Moses was not just raised in Egypt, he was raised in the palace. Meaning he had access to best education, the best chariot, gold, silver, and anything he could ask for. But Moses Read the rest of this entry

The third step to living stress free like Jesus is know where you are from and where you are going it is called the Principle of Origin. “Jesus answered and said to them, “Even if I bear witness of Myself, My witness is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going” Jn. 8:14. Powerful! It is the principle of Read the rest of this entry
Who Matters?
“Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honour God with your body” 1 Cor.6:19-20
You know who you are when you know whose you are. You do not belong to yourself, you are a child of God bought with the price the price of the Blood of Jesus. You are valuable to God. For a lot of us our lives will change completely if we wake up pronouncing and knowing, I am a child of God. I am deeply loved by God. I Read the rest of this entry
Identity
“You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name” John 15:16
A lot of people in today’s world wear masks. This is why there is so much hypocrisy because people do not know who they are. In order to be accepted, people try to pass off themselves as being something or someone they think will be accepted. Perhaps I will be accepted if I am pious so he or she puts on a pious attitude. She Read the rest of this entry
In The Lord!
“A fire shall always be burning on the altar; it shall never go out” Lev.6:13.
The Bible says people perish for lack of knowledge; but you will not perish because you will learn and grow in the Word. The challenge with us human beings, everybody including me, is that we need encouragement time and again. We build an altar to God and we are excited about it but then after a while, we get tired and just do not want to go on. Which is the difference between a child and a man; a Read the rest of this entry
Better Or Worse?
“But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light” 1Pet.2:9 [emphasis added].
Sometimes when God challenges us, it just does not make any logical sense. We have had to make certain sacrifices that were down right difficult. Think about the sacrifices you made, has your life been better or worse for it? Think about it. This is because nobody trades with God, as my grandmother says, and comes up short – not one person! So God is saying to you and I, give Me your Isaac. Will you Read the rest of this entry
Believers’ Authority
“For he raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus” Eph.2:6
You need to build your own altar with God, yourself. Why? Because a lot of the people you are relying on to build it for you, have malicious intentions. My wife and I were visiting a family outside Nigeria, who live in an all white community. There can’t be any demons there right? We parked a distance from the house so Read the rest of this entry
Key To Identity II
“The people of Reuben and Gad named the altar “Witness,” for they said, “It is a witness between us and them that the Lord is our God, too.” Josh.22:34
People will regard you differently because you draw your identity from God Himself. You do not strive. Take note, the people that know God do not strive. They do not politic, they do not backbite, and they do not think they have to pull down anyone so they can get ahead. The people that know God, the scripture says, Read the rest of this entry
