Walking with God
‘I will set My dwelling in and among you, and My soul shall not despise or reject or separate itself from you. And I will walk in and with and among you and will be your God, and you shall be My people’ Lev. 26:11-12.
God wants to have a relationship with you. Through Jesus, He established a more personal relationship with us were we can talk to Him personally and not through a priest. Walking with God requires two things; agreeing with God and pleasing God.
Agreement: Walking with God requires an agreement [Amos 3:3]. You must ask yourself truthfully, are you in Read the rest of this entry
Know His Voice
‘As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him’ Ps.18:30 [KJV].
I am confident in God that God will change your life for good beginning today. For some of us, even in this last few days of this year, we are going to gain so much speed that January till now will be like an introduction. With God there is no space and time, God lives in eternity and He can be everywhere at the same time doing awesome things without diminishing in power. Isn’t that awesome? And do you know Read the rest of this entry
Consider This I
‘Then he took his staff in his hand, chose five smooth stones from the stream, put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag and, with his sling in his hand, approached the Philistine’ 1 Sam.17:40 [NIV]
There are a few interesting things that I want to bring to your attention. Firstly, Saul gave David his own armor. But after trying them on, David knew that this was not going to work for him so he took it off because he had not proved them. Then David looked at goliath and deployed innovative thinking. If you remember in the story, David said to Saul, the Lion came and I killed it. I held it by the beard and killed Read the rest of this entry
Instructions To Obey
‘Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do’ Josh.1:8.
Goliath is a very popular character in the Bible and his fall made room for David’s promotion. As the goliath’s fall in our lives this season, promotion will follow suit in Jesus Name. David was a shepherd boy, he was just a no name, tending to sheep and goats. But David had an unusual trait and that is David is a communicator. There is something in David that just wants to have a conversation. And when David Read the rest of this entry
A Shift
‘The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart— These, O God, You will not despise’ Ps.51:17 [NKJV].
Over the next few days we are going to be learning True Repentance from the heart of David. David demonstrated true repentance in Psalm 51. Interestingly this is one of the Psalms that my grandmother made us memorize by repetition. My grandmother is illiterate so we had to memorize it in our dialect. I would encourage you to memorize Psalm 51 in your dialect; it is very powerful. There were points when Read the rest of this entry
Trustworthy Father
‘But even after all he did, you refused to trust the Lord your God, who goes before you looking for the best places to camp, guiding you with a pillar of fire by night and a pillar of cloud by day’ Deut.1:32-33.
Does God say no to some of the life defining questions we ask? Yes! However you must make it a habit to ask the Father because He alone knows the end from the beginning. On the subject of marriage, ninety nine percent of the time you should get married. It is only like one percent of the time that God will say no. And for that one percent, marriage is not in God’s plan for their life. So for every one Read the rest of this entry
Starting Point
‘So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God’ Rom.5:11
Today I want to share an experience with you that happened to me over ten years ago. It is not all together new but some of you might be reading this for the first time. I trust that God will breath on it a fresh and use it to grow you in enquiring from the Lord. I was on a flight and sitting beside me was this frail old Caucasian woman. As is customary for me, I asked the Holy Spirit, “Who is this lady?” If I am going to be sitting beside Read the rest of this entry
Go Ahead And Ask
‘Again David asked, “Will the leaders of Keilah betray me and my men to Saul?” And the Lord replied, “Yes, they will betray you.” 1Sam.23:12
The final thing in enquiring from the Lord is just go ahead and ask. Don’t be afraid just ask. Don’t miss this because it is the key in enquiring from the Lord. The easiest way is to ask simple questions. Ask a question that will have a yes or no answer – or a green light or a red light. David says, “should I pursue or should I stay?” Yes or No answer. David says, “will they betray me or will they be loyal to me?” Yes or No answer. David says, Read the rest of this entry
Check Your Motive I
‘You can cry and cover the Lord’s altar with tears, but the Lord will not accept your gifts. He will not be pleased with the things you bring to him’ Mal.2:13 [ERV]
Second thing in enquiring from the Lord is check your motive. Why am I asking what I am asking? What is my motive? I encourage you to read Numbers 22. This is the story of a Prophet called Balaam and a king called Balak. Balaam was a gentile and not a Jew but Balaam knew God and could hear God. Balaam described himself as the one that sees a vision without closing his eyes. Balak the king of Moab said I have heard of a people who came out of Egypt and are consuming Read the rest of this entry
Rooted In Relationship
‘…“O Lord, God of Israel, I have heard that Saul is planning to come and destroy Keilah because I am here. Will the leaders of Keilah betray me to him? And will Saul actually come as I have heard? O Lord, God of Israel, please tell me”’ 1Sam.23:10-11.
Firstly, enquiring from the Lord is rooted in relationship with the Lord. We have people that don’t have any relationship with the Lord whatsoever. They are not interested in building a relationship with the Lord or living for Jesus. Then they get to a cross road and they expect heaven to answer. It does not work that way. ‘But David… told Abiathar the priest to bring the ephod and ask the Lord what he should do’ 1Sam.23:9. Note that priest was there. David did not ask for a Read the rest of this entry
