Spoken Word
Again He said to me, Prophesy to these bones and say to them, O you dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. Ezekiel 37:4[AMP]
The spoken Word of God is very powerful. Jesus when He was teaching the disciples to pray said to them when you want to pray, ‘say’. You have to make it a point to hear the Word and to say it back to yourself and speak it into every situation. You have to surround yourself with the spoken Word of God, make a conscious effort to ensure that you are constantly hearing the spoken Word Read the rest of this entry
Keys to Please I
But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him [out] Heb.11:6 [AMP]
Without faith and your heart, you cannot please God. You need to constantly hear God to know how to go about pleasing Him at every stage of your walk with God. The Word is one sure way to hear God constantly. I encourage you to surround yourself with audio messages and take it a step further with an audio version of the Bible. Faith comes by consistently hearing the Word of God. The Read the rest of this entry
Sole Authority
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2Timothy.3:16-17
You cannot live your life based solely on what people say except you are taking God out of your life’s equation. What if, what they are saying is contrary to what God is saying concerning your direction at that time? While the Word of God advices that it is wisdom to surround yourself with godly counsel; the source of this advice is the Word. It is even more wisdom to make God’s Word Read the rest of this entry
Satisfaction
The Lord, will comfort Israel again and have pity on her ruins. Her desert will blossom like Eden, her barren wilderness like the garden of the Lord. Joy and gladness will be found there. Songs of thanksgiving will fill the air. Isa.51:3 [NLT]
The truth is that, the only person you are capable of totally pleasing is God. The converse is also true; the only person who can totally please you is God. If you think that when you get married you would be able to please your spouse completely, nothing can be further than that from the truth. You cannot totally please your spouse and your spouse cannot totally please you. Stop looking for Read the rest of this entry
6th Root of Personal Disharmony: Worry
‘Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God’ Phil.4:6 [NIV].
A large number of people have a PhD from the school of worrying, while others have made worry a favourite past time. Worrying has become a toy that they relax into on every occasion, during the day and at the end of the day. Philippians 4:6 is a command and not a suggestion from God. God does not want you to worry; a command not to be anxious for anything. God is saying do not worry about anything. So when you worry, you are disobeying God. Read the rest of this entry
100% Lord!
I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat is planted in the soil and dies, it remains alone. But its death will produce many new kernels—a plentiful harvest of new lives. John 12: 24
Do you just want to be known as a Christian or do you want to live a life worthy of the Name of Jesus. A woman cannot bear her fiancé’s name until she is married to him. There has to be a leaving and cleaving. God has given us the relationships around us so that we can understand what He expects from us. How often you go to Church or how big your Bible is, isn’t a representation of Read the rest of this entry
Understanding Favour: Response 3
For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will fill you with joy. Prov.2:10
You must let godly wisdom influence your responses and reactions to situations of favour. Another form of rivalry between siblings occurs as a result of an overflow of favour (favour by proximity). In this case, the other sibling begins to experience favour as a result of being around the favoured sibling. When you hang around someone who is favoured, just like anointing, it Read the rest of this entry
Understanding Favour: Response 1
As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. Rom.9:13
When you examine all the cases of rivalry, one common denominator is favour. Either parental favour (which brews bitterness); or divine favour. God has favourites, it may not make sense but it is God’s choice. God wants to teach us to understand favour and as such how to properly respond to favour so that Read the rest of this entry
Sibling Rivalry I
Similarly, a family splintered by feuding will fall apart. Mark 3:25
Sibling rivalry is a major cause of lack of harmony in homes. The most dangerous are fights ever recorded are the fights between brothers and sister. You are most vulnerable to the people closest to you. Siblings being at logger heads can be so devastating. Some live and die and never reconcile. If you Read the rest of this entry
Agreement
Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so? Amos 3:3(NIV)
Do two people walk hand in hand if they aren’t going to the same place? Amos 3:3(MSG)
Scientists tell us that the two eyes do not see the same object in the same say. One sees one perspective and the other another perspective and the brain puts both perspectives together. Then our minds interpret a complete image – harmony; this is a perfect picture of harmony. So why must you insist that Read the rest of this entry
