Growing Spiritual Roots
‘Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness’ Col.2:7
The challenge with a lot of us is that different areas of our lives lack the fruit that is required and that God intends for us. So see lives that are void of the fruits of fulfilment. A lot of us need to sink our roots in God. God wants us to grow roots. God in His Word is saying we are to let our roots sink deep in Christ and not let ourselves get carried away with philosophies. Yes you are to open your mind to knowledge but be mindful of the content you take in. The only thing
God Thirsts
‘…I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink…’ Matt. 25:35
God thirsts – amazing right? Jesus said ‘I thirst’ when He was on the cross, scripture records that He said this in fulfillment of prophecies. Jesus said these words perhaps also because it was significant of what is important to the Father. As we have observed that Jesus spent His dying moments stressing things of utmost importance. To thirst is to desire, to crave; Desire and craving are words that suggest a very strong emotion. You thirst for what is deeply Read the rest of this entry
The Womb of Adversity
‘God replied to Moses, I Am Who I Am. Say this to the people of Israel: I Am has sent me to you’. Ex.3:14
When you examine the revelations of God throughout scripture, a lot of these revelations were birthed in the womb of adversity. Every Christian encounters adversity at one point or the other of his/her work with God, as did the prophets in the bible, which births a new or deeper revelation of God in us. You
Propagating the Kingdom
He said to them “Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. Mark.16:15 (NASB)
God uses the vehicle of the church to spread the Good News. The church is not a house; a lot of us believe that the church is the place of worship. The truth is that we are the church and we meet in a building. The church is not an organization, it is an organism. God will use you and I to propagate the Kingdom. You must evaluate the people around you to see who those close to Read the rest of this entry
Tussle
We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments. 2 Cor.10:4
You must understand that for every Word God gives you there is a constant tussle until the Word accomplishes God’s purpose in your life. For you to go to the next level, God will give you a Word, and then men will give you a word. It is almost an eternal battle between what God is saying and what men are saying concerning you. The only way to fulfill your destiny is to overcome this tug of Read the rest of this entry
And God Said: Caution
And God said to Balaam, You shall not go with them; you shall not curse the people, for they are blessed. Num.22:12
And God said and He is still saying caution to those who war against you and God’s purposes for you. While God is speaking to you about your destiny in Christ, He is also warning the enemies of your destiny because no one can curse who God has blessed. God acknowledges that favour attracts envy and attacks so He is cautioning everyone who has chosen to attack you. Be alert, Read the rest of this entry
And God Said: Destiny Provoking Name Change
‘Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee… And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be’. Gen 17:5 &15.
God said and God is still saying destiny provoking name change. For some people, God is going to give you a new name because the one you have currently is destiny limiting. Many times people are limited by the names they are carrying and the only way to break free is a name change from the One who knows tomorrow. God had to change Abraham’s name from Abram [high, Read the rest of this entry
2nd Root of Personal Disharmony: Lack of contentment
‘But godliness with contentment is great gain’ 1Tim.6:6
Another root cause of personal disharmony is lack of contentment. The reason why a lot of people do not have peace and harmony in their lives is because they are not content. There are people who are in church and are not content with the shoes on their feet. Be content! God did not say godliness with complacency is great gain because there is a difference between contentment, Read the rest of this entry
The Mirror
Then said I, Woe is me! For I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts. Isaiah 6:5
Until you stand before God’s mirror, it is almost impossible to be who He has called you to be. This statement many times sounds very distant to a number of people. The truth is that if you have a wrong perception of yourself, then chances are you will try to live out the wrong image you are seeing. You might be thinking that you already know what God has called you to do. This is very Read the rest of this entry
Prepackaged
‘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
‘For I know the plans I have for you’, says the LORD’. For a number of us this is not the first time we are encountering this scripture. However, the Word admonishes us to renew our minds constantly with the Word. The plan for your life has already been made and laid out by God Almighty. This means you and I need to stop racking our heads about making fresh plans. Rather, in Read the rest of this entry
