Surrender Control
“They are headed for destruction. Their god is their appetite, they brag about shameful things, and they think only about this life here on earth” Phil.3:19.
What appetite do you need to surrender to Jesus? You and I must deal with this question in order to make our lives count. I personally am very sensitive to anything that can compete with God or put me out of sync with Him. Permit me to start my next illustration with a disclaimer.

Give Control Back to God!
“They are headed for destruction. Their god is their appetite, they brag about shameful things, and they think only about this life here on earth” Phil.3:19.

You Decide
“But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind” James 1:6
What is it that you have set your heart on? What is it that you are trusting God for? Do not doubt! When the voice of doubt comes because it will come, do not ride it. When the enemy says how can these things be? Say to the enemy, you will see it but you will not eat out of it, in Jesus Name. Read the rest of this entry
United We Stand…
“Look!” he said. “The people are united, and they all speak the same language. After this, nothing they set out to do will be impossible for them! Come, let us go down and confuse the people with different languages…” Gen.11:6-7
“The people are united, and they all speak the same language. After this, nothing they set out to do will be impossible for them! The enemy comes against us spiritually and fails and he will consistently fail. So he gives us another vision and it fails and he will consistently fail. Guess what he will try next? Another tongue [confusion] and he will fail and consistently fail concerning us. Read the rest of this entry

Someone says to me, how do you always know everything that happens in your office even when you are not there? It is my business to know and so my eyes [physical and spiritual] are on the business. I am always watching because that is my calling, my goal, and my objective. Sadly, there are some of us that things are Read the rest of this entry
Eyes Fixed
“If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them gets lost, what will he do? Won’t he leave the ninety-nine others in the wilderness and go to search for the one that is lost until he finds it?” Luke 15:4
Many of us had set goals at the beginning of the year but guess what? This is the month July already and half of the year is gone. If this year must count, we must overcome or overpower distraction. Distraction is the one thing in your life that you must be able to deal with in order to make your life count. Distraction and not Read the rest of this entry

Lead-Her

I learnt a huge lesson some time ago and the lesson is that in a marriage the wife is a very powerful force spiritually. I have experienced situations where when my wife comes on board with me a hundred percent things just change, things we used to struggle with become effortless so to speak. We once had a lady on the workforce in Read the rest of this entry
Am I?
“But Jesus told him, “Anyone who puts a hand to the plow and then looks back is not fit for the Kingdom of God” Luke 9:62
In scripture, Jesus said some really hard things unapologetically. “But Jesus told him, “Anyone who puts a hand to the plow and then looks back is not fit for the Kingdom of God” Luke 9:62. That is really hard to say to someone who has pledged to follow you. The man was just asking for permission to say farewell to his Read the rest of this entry
