Unknown
‘The LORD our God has secrets known to no one. We are not accountable for them, but we and our children are accountable forever for all that He has revealed to us, so that we may obey all the terms of these instructions’ Deut. 29:29.
The truth is that there are things in nature that we see every day but its origins, destination and sustenance is known only by God. Every one of these elements in nature serves God’s purposes alone. A lot of us get to experience the mountains, the clouds, the stars, the rain, the trees and so many other Read the rest of this entry
Perspective
‘Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee’ Jeremiah32:17 [KJV].
How big is God really? Our minds really cannot phantom. What exactly can He do? Nobody knows. We know that there is nothing impossible with God. But there are a few numbers in nature that could help us out. There are currently about 7 billion people on earth. And science tells us that the earth can hold Read the rest of this entry
For The Glory Of God
‘But give great joy to those who have stood with me in my defense. Let them continually say, “Great is the LORD, who enjoys helping his servant’ Psalm:35:27.
God takes pleasure in the prosperity of His people. God wants to bless us. He rejoices in granting our hearts desires in accordance to His will. For the woman waiting for the fruit of the womb, the Lord rejoices to see you pregnant. For the unmarried, God rejoices to see you with your spouse. For the unemployed, Read the rest of this entry
God’s Willingness
‘Suddenly, a man with leprosy approached Jesus. He knelt before Him, worshiping. Lord, the man said, if you want to, you can make me well again. Jesus touched him. I want to, He said. Be healed! And instantly the leprosy disappeared’ Matt 8:2.
One day, after a sermon based on 2 Peter 3:8, a little boy got home and prayed: “Dear Lord, our Sunday school teacher taught us that a day with you is like a thousand years and a thousand years like a day. Is that true?” God answers “Yes son”. The child continues: “Umm, can I then conclude Lord that a dollar Read the rest of this entry
Spiritual Capacity
‘And now God is building you, as living stones, into His spiritual temple. What’s more, you are God’s holy priests, who offer the spiritual sacrifices that please Him because of Jesus Christ’ 1 Pet.2:5
As physical exercises build physical muscles, so also spiritual exercise build spiritual muscles. In all sports, there are coaches and athletes. They train together to prepare for the sports ahead. It is only the foolish athlete who will request that his coach trains on his behalf, while he relaxes. Every athlete must Read the rest of this entry
Let Go Of Fig Leaves
‘…Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit’ Acts 2:38
What area of your life have you sown fig leaves for? Some of us have a void in our hearts that only God can fill. Yet we try to fill it with everything except the One who can. People fill the void in their lives with sex, alcohol, or ungodly relationships. The people you are compromising for will one day find Christ Read the rest of this entry
Pointers To Un-repented Sin
‘Then the LORD God called to the man, Where are you? He replied, “I heard you walking in the garden, so I hid. I was afraid because I was naked…’ Gen.3:9-10
Today, we will be dealing with the components of the baggage of un-repented sin. These are the pointers to the fact that perhaps there is a baggage of un-repented sin you need to deal with. The first pointer to un-repented sin is regret [Read Genesis 3:1-13]. There is no point regretting. In dealing with regret, the first thing you need to know is that you Read the rest of this entry
Lack Of Accountability
‘Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results’ James 5:16.
Accountability is important for every Christian. When we don’t have accountability in our lives, it is harder to spot when we are derailing and more difficult to repent. There has to be someone that you are accountable to. If you are married, you should work on that person being your spouse. It may not be your spouse from day one, depending on Read the rest of this entry
Un-repentance: Pride & Deception
‘Though the LORD is great, He cares for the humble, but He keeps His distance from the proud’ Ps.138:6.
Another reason why a lot of people find it difficult to repent is pride. Are you too proud to recognize when God is reaching out to you? You see God has been trying to get your attention. He has been trying to use different people to talk to you. God has been using people to speak to you but because of the pride in your heart, you cannot hear Him. So we carry the baggage of un- Read the rest of this entry
Protecting Your Future
‘Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up…’ Heb.12:1
Un-repented sin is the surest weapon for destiny destruction. Repentance however, protects your glorious future from your horrible past. You cannot be free from a sin you are not willing to repent of. You can acknowledge that you want to head south. Yet if your mind change does not end up in a directional change you will still end up north. This is the reason for a lot of Read the rest of this entry
