Sources of Storms II
‘The farmer’s workers… said, Sir, the field where you planted that good seed is full of weeds! Where did they come from? An enemy has done this!’ the farmer exclaimed…’ Matt.13:27-28
The second source of the storms is the enemy. The farmer in the story in Matthew 13:24-27 had done what he was supposed to do. In other words he was in the right but he still encountered storms caused by the enemy. You may be experiencing something similar in your life, business, marriage, or education. You started out with good seed but the enemy has sown thorns alongside your seed. The enemy is determined to wipe you out, his mission is to kill, steal and destroy. Jesus says ‘I have come that you might have life and have it more Read the rest of this entry
Sources of Storms I
‘Throw me into the sea, Jonah said, and it will become calm again. I know that this terrible storm is all my fault’. Jonah 1:12
The storms that we experience are not without reason. Storms come from varying sources that is why it is important to check and identify the source of the storm. Identifying the source of the storm better equips us with understanding to deal with the storms through Jesus Christ. Storms we experience sometimes arise as a result of the choices or decisions we have made. ‘The LORD gave this message to Jonah… Get up and go to the great city of Nineveh. Announce my judgment against it… But Jonah got up and went in the opposite Read the rest of this entry
The Storm
‘Jesus said to His disciples, “Let’s cross to the other side of the lake.” So they took Jesus in the boat… But soon a fierce storm came up… Jesus was sleeping… The disciples woke Him up, shouting, “Teacher, don’t you care…’ Mark 4:35-38.
Imagine the storm approaching and Peter sends the first person ‘check if He was still in the boat’. The first feedback is that Jesus is there but sleeping. So Peter figures all must be well, if Jesus is on this boat we are fine. Then the high waves and the boat starts filling up with water and the second feedback says He is still sleeping. Peter could not take it anymore, along with the other disciples I can almost imagine him racing to where Jesus lay and waking him up vigorously not waiting for Him to finish opening His eyes before he Read the rest of this entry
Beyond the ‘BUT’
‘For the wages of sin is death, BUT the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord’ Rom.6:23
The word ‘But’ is seemingly short yet very powerful word. ‘But’ introduces change in every sentence where it exists. The word ‘but’ can introduce either positivity or negativity to a sentence. You can say the word ‘but’ is a game changer. You passed the interview ‘but’ the board decided a female was best for the position. The ‘but’ in this case negates the whole situation and success suddenly seems like failure. You work very hard ‘but’ you are struggling to make ends meet. Every negative ‘but’ that has changed your success story to failure the Blood of Jesus will wipe away today. If this has been your story up until now, by the power in the Name of Jesus you will experience Read the rest of this entry
Solid Rock
‘The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks’ Prov.30:26 [KJV]
‘Where there is no vision, the people perish…’ Prov.29:18. In God’s Favourite House, our vision is ‘to be filled with the life of Christ, released into our destinies, and taking the world for Him’. This means as a Church we are constantly striving to be all that God has called us to be. To be just like Jesus, living out God’s plan and passionately leading others to Jesus. It is all about Jesus, He is the Solid Rock on which we have hinged our tomorrows. To be filled with the life of Christ Jesus is to have our lives built on Him. ‘And the rain Read the rest of this entry
Why Fast: Part 4
‘Then I pray to you, O LORD. I say, “You are my place of refuge. You are all I really want in life’ Psalm 142:5.
Building a Refuge: When you fast, you are building a refuge around yourself. The best time to build a refuge is when there is peace. Fasting [building a refuge] is being proactive; it is like saving for the rainy day. Fasting increases spiritual activity. ‘For the angel of the LORD is a guard; he surrounds and defends all who fear Him’ Ps.34:7. When you engage in fasting you build a wall of protection around your life, career, family, destiny and even your future. ‘The LORD is close to all who call on Him, yes, to all who call on Him in Read the rest of this entry
Direction
‘I have observed something else under the sun. The fastest runner doesn’t always win the race… It is all decided by chance, by being in the right place at the right time’ Ecc.9:11
‘…being in the right place at the right time’. The Way is the most crucial part of acceleration. It would be futile to pride yourself as the fastest runner whereas in every race, you accelerate in the opposite direction, away from the finish line. What is the point of accelerating when you are heading in the wrong direction? ‘You may think you are on the right road and still end up dead’ Prov.14:12 [CEV]. Increased speed in the Read the rest of this entry
Accelerated Second Coming
‘For the Lord Himself will come down from Heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the Christians who have diedwill rise from their graves’. 1Thes.4:16
Basically, acceleration means to increase in speed and velocity. To accelerate means to make haste; to make rapid progress. Acceleration is when someone or something is moving faster than the normal speed. Acceleration will cause you to experience rapid progress in an area where previously you had been stagnated. God’s word for you this day is Acceleration. Acceleration in your spiritual life, finances, marriage, business, Read the rest of this entry
Experiencing His Hand
‘But the Lord said, “Go, for Saul is my chosen instrument to take my message to the Gentiles and to kings, as well as to the people of Israel’ Acts 9:15.
‘The Hand of God’, is a term people loosely use to describe the Power of God. When God’s hand is upon any situation, the game is sure to change. When you seek His Hand you get access to His power. For centuries man has sought the Hand of God for various reasons. The power of God doesn’t change us; it is His presence that changes us. That is why it is possible for people to experience God’s power perhaps in healing and still Read the rest of this entry
Experiencing Glory
‘Jesus responded, didn’t I tell you that you would see God’s glory if you believe?’ John 11:40
Another reason why there are still people missing out on opportunities for the miraculous after healing and breakthrough services is unbelief. Unbelief is a major reason for lack of results. It might be hard to imagine especially since we know that God Himself says that ‘anyone who wants to come to Him must believe that God exists and that He rewards those who sincerely seek Him’. Yet there are people who still do not believe God. It’s easy to look at Abraham and Read the rest of this entry
