Calvary
‘As for me, may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross, my interest in this world has been crucified, and the world’s interest in me has also died’ Gal.6:14.
As Christians it would be wrong for us to continue to do the wrong things knowing fully well that it is sin in God’s sight. I am not saying that Christians are not able to do wrong. Christians go through different phases of growth until we are in the image of Christ Jesus. But a Christian cannot continue to do wrong. We have the seed of God. In two different situations I have witnessed a pig in mud Read the rest of this entry
Inherited II
‘I will cause your descendants to become as numerous as the stars of the sky, and I will give them all these lands. And through your descendants all the nations of the earth will be blessed. I will do this because Abraham listened to me…’ Gen.26:4-5
Blessings can also be inherited. Blessings can move from generation to generation. Like in the case of Isaac, there are certain things that our parents have done before God and men that we are enjoying today. ‘I will do this because Abraham listened to me and obeyed all my requirements, commands, decrees, and instructions’ Gen.26:5. I have no doubt that a lot of the spiritual progress that most of Read the rest of this entry
Inherited I
‘Instead, everyone will die for their own sin; whoever eats sour grapes—their own teeth will be set on edge’ Jer.31:30 [NIV]
Blessings and curses are not only provoked, they are also inherited. Blessings and curses can be passed down from one generation to another generation. This is why you find situations where a grandfather is cursed and struggles with it, the father struggles with the same thing, and the son finds himself struggling with the same thing. Such curses, this season as we are waiting on God, would be Read the rest of this entry
The Same
‘Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever’ Heb.13:8
Jesus the express image of the invisible God rode into Jerusalem. There was so much celebration and people were laying down their cloths. However, way back, an event took place that can be likened to the one that took place in Jerusalem at the time of Jesus. There was a time when the Jews went to battle carrying the ark of God. The ark of God signifies the manifest presence of God amongst His people. Yet today Jesus says ‘where two or three are gathered together in My Name there I am in their midst’. They carried the ark to Read the rest of this entry
Resurrection
‘He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Come, see where his body was lying’ Matt.28:6
The beauty of resurrection or Easter as we know it is that through Jesus we can expect that every thing that is dying and ought to be alive in our lives will come back to life. Through Jesus we can expect that everything that is dead already that ought to be living will resurrect. We have the victory through Jesus Christ. Unfortunately for the enemy, he keeps forgetting the power of resurrection and making the same mistake he did with Jesus with us. The enemy sees your marriage has the potential to thrive and he attacks it. Stop Read the rest of this entry
Jesus is Alive
‘…Then the men asked, “Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive? He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead…’ Luke24:5-6
Hallelujah, Jesus is Alive. The beauty of our faith is the fact that the grave is empty. Every other person that has claimed to be a prophet or a god we know where they are buried today. We know the tomb of Buddha, Mohamed, and Krishna. We also know the tomb of Jesus but it is empty. He arose just as He Read the rest of this entry
Hallelujah
‘Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory’ 1 Cor.2:8 [KJV]
Hallelujah is embracing limitations in order to be truly free. Hallelujah is looking foolish in order to actually gain wisdom. Hallelujah is the willingness to concede a loss in order to gain the ultimate victory. That was what God did with Calvary. God was willing to give up one so that He might gain many. The

At The Son
‘But for you who fear my name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in his wings. And you will go free, leaping with joy like calves let out to pasture’ Mal.4:2
The eagle can gaze directly at the sun in its full strength and not go blind. When the eagle first comes out of its shell at birth two things happen. It’s mouth is open and its eyes are gazing directly at the sun. Based on that, during an attack the eagle is able to fly straight in the direction of the sun because no other Read the rest of this entry
Fresh Word
‘Give us day by day our daily bread’ Luke 11:3 [KJV]
If the only ‘God said’ that you know is ‘my wife said that God said’ or ‘our pastor said that God said’ then there is a problem. When your wife is not around, you will be in serious trouble. Don’t be an Aaron to Moses or like Aaron when Moses is not around you will also be pressured into making a golden calf [Ex. Read the rest of this entry
Daily Bread I
‘Give us day by day our daily bread’ Luke 11:3 [KJV]
The eagle only eats fresh meat. You will never see an eagle eating meat that it did not kill or eating left overs. In addition to that, the eagle does not waste food. It finishes its meals or divides it amongst its children but nothing is left over. The eagle always eats fresh meals; it does not feed on corruption like the vulture. The vulture can spend two weeks following a dying animal around just waiting for it to die so that it can feed. The eagle is not a scavenger; it is a predator. It likes to hunt and kill its own food.
How does that apply to us? God does not want us to feed on corruption. As leaders and eagle Christians we must flee all appearances of evil. The truth is that those who settle for corruption have settled for limitation in life [Psalm 1]. You must flee all appearances of evil. Eagle Christians should not feed on corruption whether it is physical, financial, or moral corruption.
The eagle is not a parasite; you need to stop being a parasite. Everybody goes through challenging times in life, every body that you can see, no matter how rich or how poor. When you are going through your own, make up your mind not to be a parasite [a mosquito] but to remain an eagle. The eagle Christian does not parasite or scavenge on people spiritually. It does not perch financially. The eagle does not say ‘what will you drop for your boy today’. In other words, you cannot continue looking to another person’s wealth [physical or spiritual] for your own well being. An example of spiritual scavenging would be a man who is always saying ‘my wife said God said – that this is the house we should buy or this is the school for our children. What about you? Does God not talk to you? Refuse to be a spiritual parasite even if it means waking up at midnight to pray. Then wake up and pay the price. Like the eagle seek your daily bread by yourself. Jesus will not teach us to ask for daily bread if the Father has not made provision for it.
Thought: ‘…in God’s Word, you chew on Scripture day and night. You’re a tree replanted in Eden, bearing fresh fruit every month, Never dropping a leaf, always in blossom’ Ps.1:2-3 [MSG]
