Right Standing
‘You’re blessed when you’ve worked up a good appetite for God. He’s food and drink is the best meal you’ll ever eat’ Matt.5:6 [MSG]
Satisfaction is only promised when we channel this seemingly insatiable desire to righteousness. Jesus says ‘blessed are they that hunger and thirst for righteousness. ‘In fact some people even try to fill the hunger and the thirst in them with reading the Bible but with the wrong motif. Some read twenty chapters of the Bible daily. Should you read the Bible? Yes! Should you read twenty chapters? Yes, but when you are reading the Bible you should be seeking the person Jesus. So when you read the Bible seeking Jesus, you will Read the rest of this entry
Living Waters
‘Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled’ Matt.5:6 [NIV].
The Word of God says, ‘the blessings of the Lord makes rich and adds no sorrow’. But the world is trying to turn it around to read ‘the riches of the world makes blessed and add no sorrow’. Jesus is saying to us that blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they will be filled. You may be reading this today and your soul is hungry and your heart is thirsty and you feel this seemingly insatiable longing for something. The feeling is just there and it is constantly nagging. Sometimes when we encounter Read the rest of this entry
It’s Your Decision!
‘How blessed are the meek! for they will inherit their land’ Matt.5:5 [CJB]
So many times the land we desire of God is tied to the work of God in our hearts. Our Promised Land is tied to the extent to which the Holy Spirit is able to bring us under control. The more the Holy Spirit is able to bring you under control. The more He is able to tell you or nudge you not to talk and you don’t talk, the more power, land or whatever you desire is released to you. I’ve been among Christian friends heard them relay how they would put the Read the rest of this entry
Be Submissive
‘And further, submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord’ Eph.5:21-22
To be meek is to be submissive. Blessed are the submissive. The truth is that it is not only wives that are meant to be submissive to their husbands. Husbands are also supposed to be submissive to their wives. Now some men don’t like to hear this truth but God’s Word states ‘And further, submit to one another out of reverence for Christ’ Eph.5:21. God is actually saying to the husband and wife ‘submit one to another’, before He says wives submit to Read the rest of this entry
You Are A Child?
‘So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask Him’ Matt.7:11
There is an English proverb that says the patient dog eats the fattest bone. But this generation says – no way! The patient dog will starve to death. That is what this generation interprets this proverb to mean. Yet with God the patient dog still eats the fattest bone but even beyond that you are not a dog! You are a child of God. So if your Father says I have a land for you, be patient! Do you trust Him enough to be patient? Or would you manufacture Read the rest of this entry
Will You Wait?
‘Blessed (happy, blithesome, joyous, spiritually prosperous—with life-joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation, regardless of their outward conditions) are the meek (the mild, patient, long-suffering), for they shall inherit the earth!’ Matt.5:5 [AMP]
The meek is patient, mild, and long-suffering. When your spouse aggravates you, because our spouses are sometimes anointed to aggravate us, do you want to shred them or are you mild? God says blessed are the meek, blessed are the mild, for they will inherit the land. Some time ago, a friend of mine got news that his wife had done something that was not so pleasing to him. So he had made up his mind and the plan was to go and give his wife a Read the rest of this entry
Relationships
‘Don’t team up with those who are unbelievers. How can righteousness be a partner with wickedness? How can light live with darkness?’ 2 Cor.6:14
Does loving God mean giving up or cutting off friends who are of other religious beliefs regardless of how long the friendships have lasted? This is a struggle for a lot of people especially because of the strength of their emotional ties to these friends. They want to know what happens to those ties when they give their lives to Jesus.
Love And Obedience
‘And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul?’ Matt. 16:26.
Knowing God is learning and understanding the things that He approves of and the things that don’t please Him. Loving God is moving beyond the afore mentioned into doing the things that please the Father. Jesus says ‘if you love me, obey my commandments’. John 14:15. So when a young lady comes to me and says she has been living with a man for five years and this man has paid her school fees. The first question is ‘do you really know the Father?’ Read the rest of this entry
Better And Better
‘The way of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, which shines ever brighter until the full light of day’ Prov. 4:18
If you are striving to keep your marriage in the honeymoon stage then that is a red flag. Does this mean you do not expect better than your honeymoon? Someone that remains or insists on remaining in the honeymoon stage of his or her marriage will never grow. When you first give your life to Jesus you experience a honeymoon stage where even before you close your eyes your prayers have already Read the rest of this entry
Not Weakness
‘How blessed are the meek! for they will inherit their land’ Matt.5:5 [CJB]
Wikipedia.com defines meekness as power under control. Real meekness is power under control and not weakness. If you look at the root word for meekness in the Greek Prautes it means the middle point between two extremes – getting angry unreasonably [the Greek word orgulotes] and not getting angry at all [the Greek word aorgesia]. In other words, meekness is getting angry at the right time, in the right measure, and for the right Read the rest of this entry
