God’s Kingdom
Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in Heaven, so in earth’Luke11:2b [NLT]
The Good News is about the Kingdom [Matt.4:23]. Jesus came to preach the Good News and establish God’s Kingdom in the hearts of men here on earth. When Jesus sent out the disciples, He told them to go and preach the Kingdom of God to everyone. The word Kingdom is derived from two words, King and Domain. The word Kingdom implies that there is a King and that King has an Read the rest of this entry
Repentance
Have mercy on me, O God, because of your unfailing love. Because of your great compassion, blot out the stain of my sins. Psalm 51:1
I encourage you to read the entire Psalm 51; it is a comprehensive lesson on repentance God’s way. When it comes to sin and repentance, God expects us to respond in three ways. Firstly, we must see that there is a problem. ‘Have mercy on me, O God, because of your unfailing love…’ Ps.51:1a. David in his heart accepted that there was a problem and so he sought God for mercy and Read the rest of this entry
And God Said: Ask Anything
That night the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream, and God said, “What do you want? Ask, and I will give it to you!” 1 Kings 3:5
‘Solomon loved the Lord and followed all the decrees of his father, David, …The most important of these places of worship was at Gibeon, so the king went there and sacrificed 1,000 burnt offerings. That night the Lord appeared…, and God said, “What do you want? Ask, and I will give it to you!’ [1 Kings 3:3-5]. And God said and God is still saying ask anything that you want. First comes the Read the rest of this entry
And God Said: Caution
And God said to Balaam, You shall not go with them; you shall not curse the people, for they are blessed. Num.22:12
And God said and He is still saying caution to those who war against you and God’s purposes for you. While God is speaking to you about your destiny in Christ, He is also warning the enemies of your destiny because no one can curse who God has blessed. God acknowledges that favour attracts envy and attacks so He is cautioning everyone who has chosen to attack you. Be alert, Read the rest of this entry
And God Said: Weddings
And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. Gen.2:18
God said and God is still saying weddings. ‘Then the Lord God said, it is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him’ [Gen.2:18 NLT]. In the New Testament, male and female are one in Christ; it is not good for the man or woman to be alone. God is saying that He will make you a help meet suitable for you. This is God’s promise; believe it and it shall come to pass in your life as it did for Adam. God decided to do this for Adam Read the rest of this entry
And God said
And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. Gen.1:20
Nothing enduring happens until God speaks. If you check the beginnings of everything worthwhile, you will find out that God has spoken. ‘In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God’ [John 1:1 KJV]. God’s idea of getting to work is not rolling up His sleeves but speaking things into being. The thing that God is about to begin in your life, He is going Read the rest of this entry
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
