Safety
‘Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for You are close beside me. Your rod and Your staff protect and comfort me’ Ps.23:4
‘Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for You are close beside me’. Safety is not the absence of danger. Safety is in the presence of God. People are very quick to think that safety is the absence of danger. And if they were to rewrite Psalm 23:4, it would look something like this – ‘I will fear no evil if I walk through a path that is without the shadow of Read the rest of this entry
Just As Jesus
‘Suddenly there was a great earthquake! For an angel of the Lord came down… rolled aside the stone, and sat on it. The guards shook with fear… and they fell into a dead faint’ Matt. 28:2 & 4.
‘The next day, on the Sabbath, the leading priests and Pharisees went to see Pilate. They told him, “Sir, we remember what that deceiver once said while he was still alive: ‘After three days I will rise from the dead.’ So we request that you seal the tomb until the third day. This will prevent his disciples from coming and stealing his body and then telling everyone he was raised from the Read the rest of this entry
Unboxed
‘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
God does the most unusual things. You find that when it comes to situations where you seem to have things all figured out. And you have God in a box of possibilities; He simply refuses to be in that box. God simply refuses to solve the situation the way you have it figured or planned out. You find that things happen in irrational ways. The things you ordinarily would do and get results Read the rest of this entry
You Matter To Your Church Family
‘Yes, the body has many different parts, not just one part. But our bodies have many parts, and God has put each part just where He wants it’ 1Cor.12:14&18.
‘The human body has many parts, but the many parts make up one whole body. So it is with the body of Christ’ 1Cor.12:12. The Church is a body. There is a part you have to play. A role that God has carved out for you. That part of the puzzle specially designed for your piece to plug into. If you refuse to plug in, the puzzle remains incomplete. The more we can get people to plug into the purposes of God, the Read the rest of this entry
Debunking Lies II
‘So that Satan will not outsmart us. For we are familiar with his evil schemes’ 2 Cor.2:11
Another lie the enemy will throw your way is that you do not have enough money to make a difference. God has designed you to make a difference for Christ Jesus in your area of influence. Yet the enemy is lying to you that you do not have enough money to make a difference. And because of this lie, you have opted out of all the financial support campaigns in Church. You can make a difference even right now. You do not have to wait until you are a millionaire. Many times we think that we are at the bottom of the Read the rest of this entry
Debunking Lies I
‘But God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners’ Rom.5:8
On the path to discovering your importance in God’s plan, the enemy will tell you a lot of lies. All the lies are aimed at convincing You that You do not matter to God. Anyone who has walked with God long enough knows that the devil is a lair. If you do not know anything about the devil, know that he is a lair. If he tells you that you will fail, it is a lie, because you will succeed. In fact, Jesus says that when he is Read the rest of this entry
You Matter
For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope’ Jer.29:11
God knows the plans that He has for us. In actual fact, you only plan for the things that are important to you. If you plan for your family, it means your family is important to you. If you plan for your finances, it means your finances are important to you. If you plan for your spiritual walk, it means that your walk with God is important to you. Of course the converse is also the case for all of the examples above. For instance, if you do not plan for your spiritual growth, it means at least for the moment it is not important Read the rest of this entry
The Anointing
‘And you know that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. Then Jesus went around doing good and healing… for God was with him.’ Acts 10:38
The presence of God creates the anointing. And the anointing sustains the presence. They go hand in hand. If Jesus needed the anointing, trust me, you need the anointing too. God anointed Jesus and He will anoint you too but you must desire it. The anointing does a couple of things in the life of every believer besides breaking yokes. The anointing enables you to walk in the supernatural, Jesus was anointed and He was able to walk in the supernatural. There anointing prepares you for the work that Read the rest of this entry
Rock Solid Guarantee
‘So why do you keep calling me ‘Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t do what I say?’ Luke 6:46
Over the past few devotionals we have highlighted the benefits of having God on your side. However the converse is also the case. If you do not have God on your side things will be withheld from you. There will be no assurances. You may get the rain that falls on the just and the unjust. At best you may get some mercy drops but there will be no assurance of the delivery of God’s promises for you. If God is not on your side, accusation will stand against you. You will be written off or wiped away by the storms Read the rest of this entry
Free From Fear
‘The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?’ Psalm 118:6 [KJV]
If God be for us, we will be free from fear; totally free from the fear of men. A lot of people are trying really hard to please people. As such, they end up living a life of discontentment and disappointment. This is an expression of approval addiction. This is not the way God wants you to live. The only One you need to be concerned about His approval is God. You have to play to the audience of the One. When you Read the rest of this entry
