Think Differently II
“Using a dull axe requires great strength, so sharpen the blade. That’s the value of wisdom; it helps you succeed” Ecc.10:10
“Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting for those who belong to the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and never treat them harshly” Col.3:18-19 [emphasis added]. Women, if you can successfully respect your husband, it will change your marriage totally. If your husband comes home and feels like a king, it will change your marriage totally. So what should you be doing? Let that be your obsession. Ask yourself how you can make your husband feel like a champion. Think. Ask questions.
Secrets Things
“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]
If you check the life of Jesus, it is filled with surprises. The way Jesus was born was a surprise. Surprise to Herod. Surprise to Joseph and even to Mary. Imagine you are Mary’s father and your young virgin daughter comes to tell you she is pregnant. After you have calmed down and sharpened your cutlass, you would ask her who the man responsible is. If she says it is the Holy Ghost, how do you deal with that? Surprise!
When it was time for Jesus to choose His disciples, He chose sinners and unlikely people. In summary, Jesus picked Read the rest of this entry
Repentance
“Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away. Then times of refreshment will come from the presence of the Lord…” Acts 3:19-20 [emphasis added]
You will defeat your enemies in Jesus Name. But there are some things you need to remove from your life for that to happen. One of the greatest lies that has hit the church today is, once you are saved you do not really need to repent. There is nothing more you can do because Jesus has done it all. It is one big, twisted lie. Do not buy the lie. Repentance always comes before refreshing. Until you remove these things from among you, says the Lord, you will not be able to stand.

Obedience
“He told him, “Go wash yourself in the pool of Siloam” (Siloam means “sent”). So the man went and washed and came back seeing!” John 9:7
For you to get to where God wants to take you, for you to eat the good of the land, you must not only obey, you must submit. Total submission and obedience because God looks at the heart. God’s Word says, if you are willing to obey, you will eat the good of the land. I pray you eat the good of the land in Jesus Name. This means Read the rest of this entry
Willingly
“He told him, “Go wash yourself in the pool of Siloam” (Siloam means “sent”). So the man went and washed and came back seeing!” John 9:7
To submit means to willingly allow another person do to you as he or she pleases. Jesus smeared the man’s face with mud, making him look like a masquerade. The man was blind and then Jesus made him lose all physical appeal, so how will he get help. But this man stayed the course. He submitted to the entire process and he Read the rest of this entry
Heart Affairs IV
“But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him” John 4:23 [emphasis added]
Worship actually starts with what you cannot bring to God. Our hearts are ushered into true worship with the honest confession that we are empty. We cannot begin to enter and access true worship if we do not get to that honest confession that we are actually empty and there is nothing we can really bring to God. Worship does not start with what you can bring, it actually starts with what you cannot Read the rest of this entry
All Or Nothing?
“And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together” Gen.22:8 [KJV]
Being sold out is so crucial. God took my wife and I through an interesting path, a season that God was challenging us to be totally sold out. We used to pastor in a denominational church before God called us out. But while we were there, I was running a business locally and internationally and they were doing well. Then Read the rest of this entry
Sold Out?
“So Elisha returned to his oxen and slaughtered them. He used the wood from the plow to build a fire to roast their flesh. He passed around the meat to the townspeople, and they all ate. Then he went with Elijah as his assistant” 1 Kings 19:21
The reason there are so many unhappy people is because a lot of people have made chasing happiness their preoccupation. Happiness is not an end but when you are fulfilling your purpose you will be happy. When you are fulfilling your purpose you will have pain but when you are fulfilling your purpose you will also have pleasure. Read the rest of this entry
Come What May
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take” Prov.3:5-6
I knew I was going to serve God but I never knew it was Pastoral, whatever my hand found to do I did with all my heart. I have served in almost every unit in Church, I have served in the technical unit, I have parked cars, I have served in Junior Church [God bless the children], I have served in the choir, I have served in Read the rest of this entry
