Do You?
John 21:17 “A third time he asked him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt that Jesus asked the question a third time. He said, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Then feed my sheep.”
The first fish burger ever made was made by Jesus. If you check, Jesus hardly calls Peter by his full name with his surname. In fact, Jesus gave him a nickname. So, when you have someone like Jesus, someone in authority, call you by your full name. Read the rest of this entry
Give Up Control
Luke 1:38 “Mary responded, “I am the Lord’s servant. May everything you have said about me come true.” (NIV, emphasis added).
We overestimate our ability to control. If you think about it, you really do not control the major things in your life. The truth is you do not control the biggest events in your life. You do not control the day you were born or the day you die. You do not control if you will sleep or when exactly you sleep, you just sleep. Read the rest of this entry
Let It Be
Luke 1: 34-35 “Mary asked the angel, “But how can this happen? I am a virgin.” The angel replied, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the baby to be born will be holy, and he will be called the Son of God” (emphasis added).
Don’t you just love God and how He relates with us? God did not have to explain anything to Mary. Mary could just have woken up and boom, she is pregnant. God could have just done what He wanted to do. Then Mary wakes up perplexed, confused, and confounded and God says, ‘Sorry, I did not mention. Read the rest of this entry
Fear Not!
Luke 1:30 “Don’t be afraid, Mary,” the angel told her, “for you have found favour with God!”
Sometimes, when God says to you, I am with you, what grips your heart is fear. And you are like if You are with me then prove it. Look at my situation, and You are saying that You are with me? But God is saying to you again today, ‘Do not be afraid, I am with you’. Read the rest of this entry
Kill It!
Ephesians 4:31-32 “Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” (NIV, emphasis added)
So, how do I get rid of bitterness? To get rid of all bitterness, we do what the Bible says in our anchor scripture. The first is Kill Bitterness With Compassion. And the second is Kill Bitterness With Forgiveness.
Posture
Isaiah 49:25 “But thus says the Lord… For I will contend with him who contends with you, And I will save your children.” (NKJV)
Psalm 35:1-8 “Plead my cause, O Lord, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me. Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help… say unto my soul, I am thy salvation. Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: Read the rest of this entry
Pay Attention
Proverbs 4:23 “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” (NIV)
The interesting thing about the holidays is they tend to magnify our emotions. Why are we discussing holidays now? So that you can guard your heart against the seed of offense, preventing the root of bitterness in advance. So, if someone is lonely during Christmas, for example, the loneliness will hit the rooftop. Read the rest of this entry
Watch Out
Matthew 15:13 “Jesus replied, “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted is destined to be uprooted …pulled up by the roots.” (NIV & TPT)
This year 2024 is fast expiring, however, you have to keep guarding your heart to prevent the root of bitterness from taking root. Have you experienced deep-seated betrayals? You need to make up your mind that absolutely nothing will frustrate the grace of God upon your life in the Name of Jesus. Read the rest of this entry
Uproot!
Hebrews 12:14-15 “Work at getting along with each other and with God… Make sure no one gets left out of God’s generosity. Keep a sharp eye out for weeds of bitter discontent. A thistle or two gone to seed can ruin a whole garden in no time.” (MSG)
We thank God for teaching us and helping us to let go of things. Over the next few days, God is going to teach us to let go of bitterness. The truth is that people are going to hurt you. People are going to say all sorts of things about you. But you must make sure that you let go of bitterness. Read the rest of this entry
Reason of Use
Hebrews 5:14 “But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.” (NKJV)
How do you differentiate between when the Spirit of God is speaking to you and when it is your instinct speaking? In my first book, New Creation Reality, I dedicate an entire chapter to hearing from God. Your instinct can speak to you, and you will think it is one hundred percent God.
