A farmer went out to plant some seed. As he scattered it across his field, some seed fell on a footpath, where it was stepped on, and the birds came and ate it” Lu.8:5 [emphasis added]
Over the next few days, our focus is going to be on thinking clearly about spiritual growth. Our discuss will be centered on the parable of the soils in Luke 8:4-15 [please study]. Your life is not an accident. You are not here by chance. You were designed for a purpose. You need to understand that. But in other to become all that God has designed you to be, you must grow spiritually. Meaning, you cannot be all that God has called you to be if you do not grow spiritually.

Be Observant
“Jesus knew what they were thinking, so he asked them, “Why do you have such evil thoughts in your hearts?” Matt.9:4
And many times when you let yourself into what God is thinking about your life and about your business, inevitably people can think something is wrong with you. I was listening to a podcast sometime ago and the host was saying that “If everyone thinks you’re strange, take heart. It may just mean you’re years ahead of your time” –Spartan Podcast. And there are many people reading this, people think you are strange but do not worry.
Overflow III
“And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth” Ex.34:6 [emphasis added].
God wants you to know that His goodness is without limits [inexhaustible]. Our challenge as human beings is that we get satisfied too easily. You prayed and God answered by doing beyond what you could ever think or imagine. What happens is that a lot of people just relax and become complacent. We do not seek after God any more or hunger for more. And that is a problem because God still has a lot more for us and we have to press into it.
Overflow II
“The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows]” John 10:10 [AMP]
From death to life also means moving from spiritual death to spiritual life. So to have an abundance of spiritual life means that when spiritually dead people come in contact with you, they become spiritually alive. It means that people will come to Christ because of you. It means God’s life in you is overflowing into the lives of other people. Read the rest of this entry
Much More
“Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think” Eph.3:20 [emphasis added]
God does not just want us to have life; God wants us to have life abundantly. Abundance or when something is in abundance simply means more than enough, or beyond what is required. Imagine you are asking God for two units and He gives you two thousand units. There is only one word for that and it is abundance. Imagine you are trusting God for a promotion at work and He gives you a triple promotion. The only word Read the rest of this entry
Death To Life VI
“That is why the Holy Spirit says, “Today when you hear His voice don’t harden your hearts…” Heb.3:7-8
From death to life goes beyond moving from slavery to freedom. From death to life also means moving from spiritual death to spiritual life. For some people, the best way to describe their spiritual state is that they are spiritually dead. There are two pointers to spiritual death. If you have any of these two, you are spiritually dead.

No Stress
“But the Lord said to her, “My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details! There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her.” Luke 10:41-42 [emphasis added].
The way the Word of God is, you have to keep hearing it over and over again. The Bible tells us that faith comes by hearing. God’s Word for us all is Victory. I am confident that as you keep hearing this Word and you open your heart to God, God will do what only He can do in your life and in your situation, in Jesus Name. If you are going to have victory, it is up to you. It is not going to be up to the witch in the village, if there is any. It is not going to be up to that wicked relative that does not wish you well. It is not going to be up to that mean parent that has spoken ill of you. It is not going to be up to your cousin who keeps stealing from you. It is going to be up to you. The earlier you brace up Read the rest of this entry
It Is Finished
“But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory” 1Cor.2:7-8 [emphasis added]
Let the party begin. I can imagine the party in hell. The jubilating, the victory stories, the dancing, and the drinking, and imagine them patting each other on the back. The party lasted day one, day two and on the third day they heard the deafening sound of footsteps coming towards them. Who can that be? Everyone was complete. So who is coming? And the order came, “go and check!” A demon ran and came back with this report; “you would not believe it Read the rest of this entry
Key Thoughts V
“If you want to be My disciple, you must hate everyone else by comparison—your father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters… your own life… So you cannot become My disciple without giving up everything you own. Luke 14:26 & 33 [emphasis added]
Please read Luke 14:25-33. In this portion of Scripture, even though we can take the lesson and apply it to the economy, Jesus was addressing deeper things. He was talking about spiritual economy. He is talking about our lives. If you want to be His disciple, if you want Him to own you, if you want Him to economize you, if Read the rest of this entry
His Command
“‘Well done!’ the king exclaimed. ‘You are a good servant. You have been faithful with the little I entrusted to you, so you will be governor of ten cities as your reward.’ Luke 19:17
What instruction has God given you that is outstanding? Who do you need to forgive but you have not moved in that direction? What has God told you to give but you are still holding unto? Perhaps God is telling you to give your car to a lady in church. Give her the car. For some of us it is repentance. What do you need to Read the rest of this entry
