How Often?
‘Even he rendered a just decision in the end. So don’t you think God will surely give justice to his chosen people who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off?’ Luke 18:7
There are things that must be confronted spiritually and such things the enemy would have us just ignore them. You cannot afford to be ignorant of the enemy. Paul puts it very aptly, ‘do not be ignorant of the devices of satan’. In other words, the enemy would rather have us ignorant of his devices; but do not be. Of course there is the other extreme that sees the devil in everything. That is not what I am asking you to do. God does not want us to be paranoid and see the enemy in everything but Read the rest of this entry
Be A.L.A.T
‘Then the Lord said, “Learn a lesson from this unjust judge. Even he rendered a just decision in the end. So don’t you think God will surely give justice to his chosen people who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off?’ Luke 18:6-7
When you approach prayer, don’t approach it with the as soon as possible mindset. Instead of A.S.A.P be A.L.A.T! I agree that I may not totally understand the details of what you are believing God for. But you have to roll up your sleeves and be prepared to present your case before God for as long as it takes. If the widow went to the unjust judge and gave him a response time limit of ‘five minutes or else’, he probably would have been very happy. He won’t have responded and she Read the rest of this entry
Trusting Love
‘I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.’ Ps.27:13 [KJV].
I would have given up or even fainted except I believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. I am here to say to you today that no matter how tough it is for you right now, you are going to see the goodness of the Lord, not only in heaven but also in the land of the living. And if you are seeing the goodness of the Lord already, then guess what, you are going to see another level of the goodness of the Lord. The preacher, Rick Warren, puts it this way, “since I know God loves me totally and wants what’s best for me I don’t have to understand every move He makes in my life”. It is when you have totally accepted that God loves you and that He wants the best for you that you will realize you don’t have to understand every move He makes. I am sure you agree that there are some certain things in life that just don’t make sense really? But since I know that God loves me totally and I have accepted the love of God, then I can be at peace amidst storms. If you are reading this today and you have not embraced or totally accepted the love of God, then let that be your starting point. When you accept that God loves you totally and God has got your back completely, guess what-even though you don’t understand everything, you will trust Him. Read the rest of this entry
The Difference
‘A widow of that city came to him repeatedly, saying, ‘Give me justice in this dispute with my enemy’ Luke 18:3
It is most heart breaking that we have a generation who close their eyes, shake their heads, and pray to God for a miracle. And when nothing happens, seemingly, they curse God. A generation that starts to doubt God because they prayed yesterday and God did not answer today. God wants you to know that He’s got your back. He says, when you go through the fire, He will be with you. Sometimes, when God takes me through certain things I say to Him, ‘is this not too much for just one Read the rest of this entry
Make Money
‘Work hard and become a leader; be lazy and become a slave’ Prov.12:24.
God doesn’t want us to chase money. Please don’t chase money. God says ‘if you obey Me, these things [money] will purse you and over take you’. Money will be the one chasing you. Over the next few days we will be dealing with the five ways to relate with money. The first way to relate with money is Make Money. God wants us to make money. ‘Go sell the oil’ – go make money. Elisha was saying to the widow, go and make some money, go and sell the oil.
Be Merciful
‘There will be no mercy for those who have not shown mercy to others. But if you have been merciful, God will be merciful when he judges you’ James 2:13
The second type of abuse is verbal abuse. Verbal abuse is so subtle. I think this is one of the greatest destroyers. Physical abuse is major but verbal abuse is one of the greatest destroyers of marriages. Verbal abuse is when one partner just consistently speaks horrible things to the other partner. The husband/wife makes the other person look like a fool or an idiot consistently. It is an abuse. This Read the rest of this entry
Conceive And Birth It!
‘Thou shall make thy prayer unto him, and shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows. Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways’ Job 22:27-28
‘Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children’ Eph.5:1. One aspect of imitating God is in speaking forth things – call it forth. The Bible says about God that He ‘…calleth those things which be not as though they were’. You might not be who God wants you to be right now but if you stay with Him long enough, you definitely will be. Why? It is because He will transform you from the inside Read the rest of this entry
By Force
‘And from the time John the Baptist began preaching until now, the Kingdom of Heaven has been forcefully advancing, and violent people are attacking it’ Matt.11:12
Relationship is very powerful in intercession. The person that is speaking for you; does he/she have a voice in heaven? Can he/she beckon on heaven and heaven will respond? Do you have a voice in heaven because you are your greatest intercessor? If you do not have a voice in heaven, today your voice will be registered in the Name of Jesus. Mary knew that even though His time had not come, He is the controller of time. So she Read the rest of this entry
Remember
‘Remember how the LORD your God led you through the wilderness for these forty years, humbling you and testing you to prove your character, and to find out whether or not you would obey his commands’ Deut.8:2
If you see a judgmental person, you have seen somebody that has forgotten. If you come across a Christian that is irritable with someone that is far from God, someone that is not dressing well, or behaving properly. When you come across a Christian that this puts off totally and now goes around with a ‘holier than thou’ attitude, you have met a Christian who has forgotten. In fact, you have met an ungrateful person who does not remember what God has brought him/her through. If you remember where Jesus has Read the rest of this entry
Genuine Repentance
‘Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked way, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land’ 2 Chro.7:14
The church is God’s agent for change in the society. We are the catalyst. Therefore the key to the change that we desire in our country lies in out hands. Jesus puts is this way, ‘who ever must lead amongst you must first be the servant’. Our job is to serve our country by standing the gap and going before God. The church in Nigeria must humble themselves and pray and seek God’s face and turn from their wicked way. God has promised to hear from Read the rest of this entry
