Made For Community
‘A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken’ Ecc.4:12.
God said it is not good for man to be alone. So God created the first community consisting of Adam and Eve. One is good but two are better than one. God made us for community. Every one of us experienced our first community at birth. According to God’s plan, your family is the first community experience you Read the rest of this entry
Confronting The Enemy
‘Then Elijah stood in front of them and said, “How much longer will you waver… If the LORD is God, follow Him! But if Baal is God, then follow him!’ 1kings 18:21
Before the fire falls, you must confront the enemy. Challenge satan and his agents in the Name of Jesus. This kind of confrontation as prescribed in the Bible requires that you ‘submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you’ James 4:7 [KJV]. The place of the personal altar Read the rest of this entry
Dispelling Storms:Personal Revelation
‘…Elisha prayed, O LORD, open his eyes and let him see! The LORD opened the …man’s eyes, and… he saw that the hillside around Elisha was filled with horses and chariots of fire’ 2kings 6:17
Personal revelation is key to dispelling both internal and external storms. You need to know without any shadow of doubt that Jesus is in your boat. It requires a personal revelation God wants to open your eyes because you need to have your own personal revelation amidst the storm. No other person’s revelation will work for you. Read 2 kings 6:15-17. Elisha could remain calm in the midst of a storm because he had personal revelation. Even though Elisha told the young man not to be afraid, it was not enough to dispel his fears. The Read the rest of this entry
The Storm
‘Jesus said to His disciples, “Let’s cross to the other side of the lake.” So they took Jesus in the boat… But soon a fierce storm came up… Jesus was sleeping… The disciples woke Him up, shouting, “Teacher, don’t you care…’ Mark 4:35-38.
Imagine the storm approaching and Peter sends the first person ‘check if He was still in the boat’. The first feedback is that Jesus is there but sleeping. So Peter figures all must be well, if Jesus is on this boat we are fine. Then the high waves and the boat starts filling up with water and the second feedback says He is still sleeping. Peter could not take it anymore, along with the other disciples I can almost imagine him racing to where Jesus lay and waking him up vigorously not waiting for Him to finish opening His eyes before he Read the rest of this entry
God Wants You
‘Long ago the LORD said to Israel: “I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself’ Jer.31:3
The best offering you can give God is yourself. The best gift you can give to Him is the gift of you. We are too quick to think that God is interested in what we have and that is why He wants to befriend us. So people think that as soon as they give their tithe and offering they have done their part. It is good to give offerings to God, it is wonderful that we can pay our tithe but this is not what God is after. The Bible says He owns the cattle upon a thousand hills, if God is hungry do you think you can feed Him? What food do you think you can Read the rest of this entry
Our Motives
The LORD’s light penetrates the human spirit,exposing every hidden motive. Prov.20:27
‘People may be pure in their own eyes, but the LORD examines their motives’ Prov.16:2. Motives are a very powerful emotional force capable of taking you through any commitment from start to finish. It is your motive in any endeavor that keeps you going even in the face of challenges. Your motive reveals your heart. Take marriage for instance; if your motive for getting married is so you can display your husband at social Read the rest of this entry
Barrier to Acceleration: Un-confessed Sin
‘People who conceal their sins will not prosper, but if they confess and turn from them, they will receive mercy’ Prov.28:13.
To ensure that God’s Word of acceleration manifests in full in your life, it is important to know and deal with every obstacle that attempts to impede your acceleration. With cars, there is the barrier of suspension. When it is lifted, the two front tires of the car become suspended. No matter how hard that car accelerates, there will be no change in position until that barrier is removed. God will deal with and remove every of such Read the rest of this entry
Chastisement
‘For the LORD disciplines those He loves, and He punishes each one He accepts as His child’ Heb.12:6
An earthly father’s love translates to favour, a multitude of gifts and occasional punishment when the child steps out of line. Punishment, because his love leads him to protect the man that boy will become. How much more our Heavenly Father who is righteous in all His ways and holy in all His acts. A number of times we are led to equate God’s love to blessings and good times alone. While all of these are expressions Read the rest of this entry
It’s Your Choice
He revealed his character to Moses and his deeds to the people of Israel. Psalm 103:7
‘The LORD said to Moses, Get going, you and the people you brought up from the land of Egypt. Go up to the land I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I told them, ‘I will give this land to your descendants. And I will send an angel before you… Go up to this land that flows with milk and honey. But I will not travel among you…’ Ex.33: 1-3. Regarding the people of Israel as well as to you and I today, God said and is Read the rest of this entry
Experiencing His Face
‘Then the LORD came down in a cloud and stood there with him; and He called out His own name, Yahweh’ Exodus 34:5
Seeking the Face is experiencing the presence of God. Really when you seek His face, you will find fullness of joy in His presence and discover His right hand which has pleasures for evermore. God will work amazing miracles in our lives by His hand but let us seek His presence. And walk in an increased measure of His presence that you carry. It comes by hunger, you must desire His presence. When you seek His face you get access into His presence. God’s presence comes with responsibilities. It demands that Read the rest of this entry
