For or Against
‘The hand of the Lord was on Elijah. He girded up his loins and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel [nearly twenty miles] 1king 18:46 [AMP]
The Hand of the Lord can be either for you or against you. I pray that the hand of God will be for you and never against you. To have the hand of the Lord against anyone or anything is a dreadful thing. People are quick to say that side of God was only experienced in the Old Testament. The incident with Ananias and Sapphira happened under the new covenant. ‘And Peter said, How could the two of you even think of conspiring to test the Spirit of the Lord like this’ Acts 5:9. You must not test the LORD Read the rest of this entry
It’s Your Choice
He revealed his character to Moses and his deeds to the people of Israel. Psalm 103:7
‘The LORD said to Moses, Get going, you and the people you brought up from the land of Egypt. Go up to the land I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I told them, ‘I will give this land to your descendants. And I will send an angel before you… Go up to this land that flows with milk and honey. But I will not travel among you…’ Ex.33: 1-3. Regarding the people of Israel as well as to you and I today, God said and is Read the rest of this entry
Experiencing His Face
‘Then the LORD came down in a cloud and stood there with him; and He called out His own name, Yahweh’ Exodus 34:5
Seeking the Face is experiencing the presence of God. Really when you seek His face, you will find fullness of joy in His presence and discover His right hand which has pleasures for evermore. God will work amazing miracles in our lives by His hand but let us seek His presence. And walk in an increased measure of His presence that you carry. It comes by hunger, you must desire His presence. When you seek His face you get access into His presence. God’s presence comes with responsibilities. It demands that Read the rest of this entry
Experiencing His Hand
‘But the Lord said, “Go, for Saul is my chosen instrument to take my message to the Gentiles and to kings, as well as to the people of Israel’ Acts 9:15.
‘The Hand of God’, is a term people loosely use to describe the Power of God. When God’s hand is upon any situation, the game is sure to change. When you seek His Hand you get access to His power. For centuries man has sought the Hand of God for various reasons. The power of God doesn’t change us; it is His presence that changes us. That is why it is possible for people to experience God’s power perhaps in healing and still Read the rest of this entry
Approaching God
‘But Joseph [first] shaved himself, changed his clothes, and made himself presentable; then he came into Pharaoh’s presence’ Gen.41:14b [AMP]
Having access to someone is one thing; approaching the person properly is another thing entirely. Yes you have access to God by the Blood of Jesus because you are under the new covenant but unfortunately that is not all it takes. It is just access. Imagine having access to the president of Nigeria; access means you can walk into his office in Aso Rock. Then what happens? The fact that you have access does not guarantee that Read the rest of this entry
Never Give-up
But this woman is driving me crazy. I’m going to see that she gets justice, because she is wearing me out with her constant requests! Luke 18:5
Jesus in Luke 18:1-8, told this story to His disciples to show that they should always pray, NEVER GIVE UP and keep walking in faith. Jesus is saying, if you keep at it, God will not fail you. It is just a function of time and you will get what you are asking for. Faith is believing even when you do not see it [Read Heb.11]. The scripture says that God is not unrighteous to forget your labour of love. It will be unrighteousness for God Read the rest of this entry
Guard Your Heart
‘Obey my commands and live! Guard my instructions as you guard your own eyes’ Prov.7:2
Jesus instructs every Christian to watch and pray. In other words, guard your heart and guard your walk with God. Stay alert so you know how best to engage. This is also true in the face seeming challenges. For every challenge, the number one point of attack is your relationship with God. A number of people are deceived into thinking that the enemy is after their money, job, recently acquired status, or possessions. The truth is that the pressure and fierceness of the Read the rest of this entry
All Is Well
‘Take control of what I say, O LORD, and guard my lips’ Ps.141:3
A certain woman gave up her resources to one of God’s servants. He was moved by compassion and sought to meet any need she had. So the man of God did some research and discovered that the woman did not have a child. And he placed a demand on Heaven for a child for her. The effectual fervent prayer of the righteous availed much; she conceived and had a son who brought joy to the family. Out with his father one day, the boy suddenly takes Read the rest of this entry
Negative Confessions
‘You are snared with the words of your lips, you are caught by the speech of your mouth’ Prov. 6:2 [AMP]
The third reason why some people go through intense power worship experiences and it appears that they are untouched is negative confessions. A man will have what he says. You will be filled with the abundance of the fruit of the mouth. Typical example, someone asks how is Nigeria; people are quick to reply ‘country hard oh, everywhere just jam’. When you keep saying that what do you think will happen? Thing will get harder and harder plus the Read the rest of this entry
Experiencing Glory
‘Jesus responded, didn’t I tell you that you would see God’s glory if you believe?’ John 11:40
Another reason why there are still people missing out on opportunities for the miraculous after healing and breakthrough services is unbelief. Unbelief is a major reason for lack of results. It might be hard to imagine especially since we know that God Himself says that ‘anyone who wants to come to Him must believe that God exists and that He rewards those who sincerely seek Him’. Yet there are people who still do not believe God. It’s easy to look at Abraham and Read the rest of this entry
