Not Denied
‘Once I was young, and now I am old. Yet I have never seen the godly abandoned or their children begging for bread’ Ps.37:25
One of the biggest things that shapes people’s opinions about God is His response to their expectations. When an expectation is fulfilled, we tend to have good thoughts towards God. When you are trusting God for something and it apparently isn’t happening, you tend to begin to doubt if God really loves Read the rest of this entry
Unfulfilled Expectations From God
‘For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope’ Jer.29:11
When it comes to God, you have to understand that God is God. With us, being human beings, we think that if we are able to get certain people to think certain things about us then we are sorted out. In other words, the most important thing in your life is not what your neighbor thinks about you. Too many people Read the rest of this entry
Hurting People
‘Don’t sin by letting anger control you. Think about it overnight and remain silent’ Psalm 4:4
If you dig deep into people’s lives, you will discover that unfulfilled expectations are the root cause of the anger, bitterness, and resentment they so passionately express. When you trace unhappiness and frustration, you usually will find unfulfilled expectations at the roots. A man comes back home Read the rest of this entry
Baggage
‘Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life’ Prov.13:12.
Baggage is a particularly interesting aspect of life. It is almost impossible to travel without carrying baggage. Some people travel with scarcely any baggage while others especially cannot afford the luxury of traveling light. Sometimes you pack your bags yourself and at other times people pack for you. The reality Read the rest of this entry
Face To Face IV
‘Don’t store up treasures here on earth… Store your treasures in Heaven… Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be’
How have I been greedy and how can I be generous? We must get rid of the ‘get all you can and can all you get mentality’. You cannot have things in your wardrobe that are gathering dust when there are people who need those things. If you have cloths that you have to be reminded about, then the truth is that Read the rest of this entry
Nothing Withheld
Since He did not spare even His own Son but gave Him up for us all, won’t He also give us everything else? Rom.8:32
‘If God didn’t hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing Himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn’t gladly and freely do for us?’ Rom.8:32 [MSG]. The fact that God now calls us His children is a guarantee that nothing can be Read the rest of this entry
Occupied By A Giant
‘that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father’ Phil.2:10-11
There is a goliath between you and the actualization of your destiny [written and envisioned]. There is no vacant promise land. Every promise land is occupied by a giant. The more lucrative the land, the greater the giants occupying it. [Study 1 Samuel 17]. David had to deal with goliath. Daniel had to Read the rest of this entry
Keys to Restoration I
‘Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and make me willing to obey You’ Ps.51:12.
After plugging the leaks that lead to losses, the next step is to deploy the keys to restoration. Then you can be confident that your restoration will be permanent. The first key to restoration is Repentance. Repentance starts when you recognize you are in sin and ends when you change your ways. Repentance Read the rest of this entry
Plug The Leaks II
‘…another messenger arrived with this news: Your sons and daughters were feasting in their oldest brother’s home. Suddenly, a powerful wind swept in from the wilderness and hit …The house collapsed, and all your children are dead…’ Job 1:18-19
The second thing that leads to losses is enemy attacks. The attack is not your fault in any way. There are battles you will encounter just because of your nationality. There are certain battles that you are fighting today simply because you are Nigerian. The battle for constant power, the battle for Read the rest of this entry
Plug The Leaks I
‘Zion will be restored by justice; those who repent will be revived by righteousness’ Isaiah 1:27
There are a couple of things that lead to losses in the first place. You have already begun to recover the things that were taken from you. So it is important for you to plug the things that led to loss in the first place, so that affliction will not arise a second time. The first of such leaks is unresolved Read the rest of this entry
