Not As Cain
‘You will be accepted if you do what is right. But if you refuse to do what is right, then watch out! Sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you. But you must subdue it and be it’s master’ Gen.4:7.
A lot of Christians have this question on their minds today; when people hurt me, how does God expect me to respond? Am I to take them in again and let the hurt happen again? Can I ever be vulnerable around such people again knowing what happened the first time? How can I ever trust him/her again? Some people refuse to go into a house fellowship, because they had been into a house fellowship before and had a bad experience. But guess what? If you walk into the right house fellowship, you’ll have the best experience of your life. Read the rest of this entry
Fulfillment
‘For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another, not as Cain who was of the wicked one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were evil and his brother’s righteous’ 1John3:11-12 [NKJV].
The greatest fulfillment you will have in life will come from your relationships with people. That is, the people that God has put in your life. The greatest fulfillment you will have will not be from things. It will not be from the car you are driving, or the house you are living in, or the phone that you have, or the amount of money in your bank account. The greatest fulfillment you will ever experience will come from the relationships that God has put in your life. Relationships like our marriage relationship, relationships with our children, life Read the rest of this entry
Salvation And Discipleship
‘Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples’ John 13:35.
Walking in love is proof of your salvation and proof that you are a disciple of Christ Jesus. Love is also the stamp that confirms that you are genuinely born again. ‘But the fruit of the Spirit is love…’ Gal.5:22. Love is the first fruit of the regenerate spirit. What a regenerate spirit simply means is your spirit was dead when you were in the world’s sinful way, but when you gave your life to Christ, God renewed that spirit. You become dead to the previous sinful nature and born anew. God is love, so the new spirit He gives you has love engraved Read the rest of this entry
Redundant Faith
‘A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power’ Eph.6:10
Are you one of those people who did great works for God in the past but now you are redundant in faith? You could trust God to take you through university and help you graduate but now you cannot trust Him to provide you with a job. Or perhaps you had faith and God healed you of a terminal illness, but now you can’t trust God to heal you of a headache. Then you have allowed your faith to become redundant. The Bible says that it is impossible to please God without faith. Therefore, allowing your faith move into redundancy Read the rest of this entry
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
