Carrying Fire
His head and His hair were white like wool, as white as snow. And His eyes were like flames of fire. Rev.1:14
Do not be unaware of your authority as a Christian and what you are carrying on the inside. Remember that you are not of this world even though you are in this world. You are carrying fire on the inside of you. I stumbled on this truth a while back in the church where I was serving at that time. A particular member of the praise team never could look me in the eye regardless of how many times Read the rest of this entry
100% Lord!
I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat is planted in the soil and dies, it remains alone. But its death will produce many new kernels—a plentiful harvest of new lives. John 12: 24
Do you just want to be known as a Christian or do you want to live a life worthy of the Name of Jesus. A woman cannot bear her fiancé’s name until she is married to him. There has to be a leaving and cleaving. God has given us the relationships around us so that we can understand what He expects from us. How often you go to Church or how big your Bible is, isn’t a representation of Read the rest of this entry
Your Calling
For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! 2 Cor.4:17
Have you ever wondered why God lets you experience storms? Or why you have prayed and prayed and still nothing seems to be happening? Or why it seems no one knows the cost of the life you now are so thankful for. ‘Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set Read the rest of this entry
Self-dependency!
Yes, He humbled you by letting you go hungry and then feeding you with manna, a food previously unknown to you and your ancestors. He did it to teach you that people do not live by bread alone; rather, we live by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord. Deut.8:3
Humble yourself so that God would not have to humble you. Self-dependency can be the greatest undoing of any child of God. If you can afford it or you can do it on your own then why do you need God? Because God loves you dearly, He will probably take you through a wilderness situation like the children of Read the rest of this entry
Total Commitment
He gave His life to free us from every kind of sin, to cleanse us, and to make us His very own people, totally committed to doing good deeds. Titus 2:14
Total commitment is a process which can only start with Jesus. To even begin to understand what commitment means as a child of God you must first understand what commitment means to the Father. ‘He gave His life to free us from every kind of sin, to cleanse us, and to make us His very own people, Read the rest of this entry
To Be Filled With The Life Of Christ – Part 2
‘The Word gave life to everything that was created, and His life brought light to everyone’ John 1:4.
Secondly, to be filled with the life of Christ means to be filled with the Living Word of God. The Word of God is God Himself. John 1:1-5, ‘In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He existed in the beginning with God. God created everything through Him, and nothing was created except through Him. The Word gave life to everything that was created, and His life brought light to everyone. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it’. When you chronicle this portion of scripture by the help of the Holy Spirit, you will get revelational knowledge of the Power that the Word carries. This same power is available to every Christian who is filled with the Living Word. You can only get filled with the Word by spending dedicated study time daily with the Word. However it does not just stop at studying, you must also begin to meditate on the Word and let it become your actions. Let it renew your thinking until your natural response to situations is in line with the Word of Life. There is no word of God without life and power. To be filled with the Living Word of God is to move around with raw power. You cannot live the life that God has promised you unless you are filled with the Living Word. Isaiah 40: 8 ‘The grass withers and the flowers fade, but the Word of our God stands forever.’ What is holding you back from experiencing the power in the Word? Every Word in the bible was birthed by the Spirit of God, ask Him and He will give you understanding.
Prayer: Father, I ask to be filled with Your Living Word so that I will become the full image of Christ Jesus in my immediate environment. Thank You Father.
Following Jesus
‘Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in Me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from Me you can do nothing… I have loved you even as My Father has loved Me. Remain in My love. When you obey My commandments, you remain in My love, just as I obey my Father’s commandments and remain in His love’. John 15:5,9 &10
There is a huge difference between going to Church and following Jesus. The fact that we are visible in Church and regularly attend meetings does not mean we are following Jesus. Serving in Church also is no guarantee we are following Jesus. Following Jesus means ‘remaining’ in Him; a choice to remain. Read the rest of this entry
How will you respond to Jesus?
‘Look I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends’. Rev.3:20 [NLT]
Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. His promises are guaranteed. However, our response determines our feedback. In the above scripture for example, the Lord guarantees that He will stand at the door and knock and He will share a meal with you as a friend. But in between the first and the last Read the rest of this entry
