Forgiveness
‘Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you’ Eph.4:32.
Forgiveness is easy when you walk in love. In other words, forgiveness is possible when you allow yourself to grow in God. Jesus demonstrated to us that wholeness is achievable through forgiveness. He forgave the sins of the Paralytic man; He forgave the sins of the woman caught in adultery. Many miracles come after forgiveness happens. This season the miracle you desire so badly may just be hinged on your willingness to forgiven. Interestingly, when it comes to forgiveness, people are quick to think that it applies only to when Read the rest of this entry
Profitable Walk
‘Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come’ 1 Tim.4:8
Is it not interesting that God prescribes exercising in His Word? Working out in a gym, at home, or engaging in any kind of physical exercise is a great thing to do and I strongly recommend it. I like to play football to keep myself fit. However, even though physical training is good, our physical bodies are restricted to this side of eternity irrespective of how fit they may be. This body is a temporary tent for our life here on earth. Yet God recommends training for godliness as much better because it promises benefits in this life and in Read the rest of this entry
Agape Love
‘Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged’ 1 Cor.13:4-5.
All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right’ 2 Tim.3:16. How is your love walk? Agape is God’s Love. Embodied in Jesus is the perfect example of God’s love. This is the strongest kind of love and is the pillar on which every other kind of love should lean on. In other words, every other kind of love finds it’s existence and essence in the agape love. Agape love is the love that lasts forever. ‘And I am Read the rest of this entry
Eros Love
‘For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh’ Eph. 5:31.
Eros love from which the word erotic derives it’s origin is love between a husband and his wife. It is sexual love designed by God for the institution of marriage. The world has tried to pollute and corrupt this kind of love by promoting it as cheap emotions responded to only on instinct. The truth is that God designed it as a fulfilling kind of intimacy reserved solely for married couples. If you are currently sleeping with someone who is not your husband or someone who is another person’s husband, what you are doing is not the eros kind Read the rest of this entry
Within Your Power
‘If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men’ Rom.12:18 [NKJV].
We need to understand that God has called us to be peacemakers and not necessarily peace achievers. There is a difference because peacemakers don’t always achieve peace. Peace achievers think they have failed if they do not achieve peace. A peacemaker longs for, works for, sacrifices for peace, and prays for peace. But the attainment of peace may or may not come. It is possible for you to seek for peace and peace would not come. ‘Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone’ Rom.12:18. Sometimes it does not lie with you Read the rest of this entry
Vertical Peace
‘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
God wants us to pursue peace in our relationship with Him. When we fail to do this successfully it causes unrest in all of our relationships. People begin to take out their frustrations in their relationships. Men do this a lot, they get back home from work frustrated and because they have not sorted it out with God they pounce on their wives. God bless the women, they stomach all the man’s issues in marriage. Many times I too have to control or correct Read the rest of this entry
Prioritize Hunger!
‘Is any one thirsty? Come and drink-even if you have no money! Come, take your choice of wine or milk-it’s all free!’ Isa.55:1.
Come and drink-even if you have no money! Come, take your choice of wine or milk-it’s all free! Who is to come? You are! Yet the challenge with a lot of us, the reason why we don’t get this hunger fed and our thirst filled is because we do not understand the priority of hunger. My grand mother would say, ‘if hunger enters a man, nothing else can enter the man’. So hunger must be attended to. Jesus says, ‘seek first the kingdom of God and his Read the rest of this entry
Currency For Satisfaction
‘This is the generation [description] of those who seek Him [who inquire of and from Him and of necessity require Him], who seek Your Face, [O God of] Jacob’ Ps.24:6 [AMP].
The third way we can become hungry and thirsty for God is by fasting. ‘And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened’ Luke 11:9-10. When you stay in the place of seeking God, suddenly you will realize that all that truly Read the rest of this entry
God’s Dealings
‘Yes, he humbled you by letting you go hungry and then feeding you with manna… 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.
The second way we get hungry and thirsty for God is through God’s dealings. God deals with us to create a hunger in us for Him and through that hunger we can know Him. ‘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’. God sometimes takes us through difficult periods for us to realize our hunger for what He has to say. Yet some of us are not sensitive enough and Read the rest of this entry
Hunger Equals Filling
‘As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God? Ps.42:1-2 [NIV]
Everyone is longing for something. Some people are just longing to be recognized. But except you enter God’s presence with the longing for God you will not be filled. Perhaps you have entered His presence with the wrong longing but in the process of praise and worship God helps you to substitute that longing with the longing for Him, that is the only time you can be filled. David puts it this way ‘as the deer longs for streams of water, so I Read the rest of this entry
