Mercy and Grace
‘And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth’ John1:14 [KJV]
Growing up, when you know that your father is merciful, you would not hide anything from him. It is the same thing with God, if you take God as your Father who is merciful. However, unlike our earthly fathers, God already knows everything we have ever done and will do. It would be self- Read the rest of this entry
Best Foot Forward
‘The Lord passed in front of Moses, calling out, “Yahweh! The Lord! The God of compassion and mercy! I am slow to anger and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness’ Ex.34:6
It is human nature, when you are asked about yourself, to put your best foot forward. The ‘tell us about yourself’ question is very common at job interviews. When asked, people usually tell you only the good things about themselves. All of us have a part of our lives that we are ashamed of and do not want anyone to know about. It is human nature to put our best foot forward. Sadly, a lot of Read the rest of this entry
Authority Stamp
‘And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing’ Gen12:2
Diverse people introduce themselves differently, very often by the various titles they have acquired. The desire to establish greatness and stamp our authority drives us to seek titles. This is why you find people whose only pleasure and life’s purpose is to become a Chief, a Reverend, an Evangelist or a Bishop so that they can quote that title as an authority stamp. There is a legal Read the rest of this entry
Personalize Him
‘The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety’ Ps.18:2
God does not just want to be the Alpha and Omega to you, He desires to be your Alpha and Omega. It is impossible to have God to yourself alone but you can choose to personalize your every interaction with Him. Personalize His Word, personalize His praise and worship. Paul admonishes us to look for every opportunity to sing to God from our heart. Do not just call Him God, call Read the rest of this entry
Unbroken Link
“Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the law of Moses?” Matt.27:36
What must I do to put my relationship with God intact? ‘Jesus replied, you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ The entire law and all the
Handling
‘Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in Me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from Me you can do nothing’ John15:5
How will you treat a relationship that is your life? Let’s assume that an individual is living in abject poverty. Then one day, the president of the nation says to him ‘show up 4am Monday to Friday this week because I will show up on one of those days and give you a contract that will turn your life
Purpose in Pain
‘Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse because it is built on bedrock’. Matt.7:25
The pain you experience, God has allowed it for a purpose. However, many of us get too engrossed in the pain and allow it to make us bitter whereas God is saying ‘the pain is supposed to draw you closer to Me’. God is set to use the pain for your good and reveal a dimension of Him that you have been hearing
The Womb of Adversity
‘God replied to Moses, I Am Who I Am. Say this to the people of Israel: I Am has sent me to you’. Ex.3:14
When you examine the revelations of God throughout scripture, a lot of these revelations were birthed in the womb of adversity. Every Christian encounters adversity at one point or the other of his/her work with God, as did the prophets in the bible, which births a new or deeper revelation of God in us. You
My Lord!
The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need. Ps.23:1 [NLT]
The beauty of having a personal walk or being in a relationship with God is that you get personal revelations of who God really is. You get to know who God really is for yourself. It is one thing to know about someone, it is another thing to know the person. Just like it is one thing to know about the state governor and it’s another thing to know him personally. Knowing about him does not Read the rest of this entry
Access
‘…For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children. I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it’. Luke18:16b-17
Some people want to enter into the Kingdom and the abundance of God but are ‘too big’ to meet the requirements. Jesus says whoever wants to enter the Kingdom of God must come as a little child. In other words, entering the Kingdom means shredding every trace of pride, self-righteousness, self-sufficiency etc. For the Kingdom of God to manifest in your finances, Read the rest of this entry
