Overcoming the forces against your advancement

Posted on by

take-a-step-forward

Often times we dwell with our circumstances even when the Lord has given a solution to our advancement. In the book of Deuteronomy 11:6 says “When we were at Mount Sinai, the LORD our God said to us, ‘You have stayed at this mountain long enough’.

 

Most of us Christians fail to listen when the Lord says its settled or that He has answered to our plead. This most often times keeps us at one spot for a very long time.

 

The Lord said “Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.VS 8

 

Since my encounter with the Lord, there is nothing He says in His word that goes undone. Often times it lingers due to our unwavering  faith. Before you can possess – You must be ready to set out. These are one of requisites for possessing what He has proposed to us.

Deuteronomy  1:6-8

For everyone there is a promise place. But for you to get to that place you must set out first. Remaining in your comfort zone is cowardly.

 

Most cases Mount horeb means a drought.

With the condition you find yourself, you can still progress.

In life we must necessarily overcome a challenge to advance to the next level.

It’s a mark of failure to give up.

Unless you limit yourself God cannot permit man to limit you.

You can advance even when your human sense tells you the opposite.

forward

Make advancement your purpose today and evermore

Amen!

Why Search Further When You Have God?

Posted on by
If you can have this confidence in God and determine within you that you will be whom God has created you to be. You will start seeing things shaping up to your favor.
searching-for-the-Lord
God is the final bus stop to all searches of solutions. There is no where in the world you can get a permanent solution to any issues of life than in His word. The book of Matthew 6:33 gave us a clear insight of what we must expect. It says “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you.“ Yes we read right “All things you’ve been running from pillar to post to see if it can be achieved. He says “Seek Me”
One of the mediums I recommend in seeking His presence is via praises; Wherever praise is engaged a turnaround is certain. Psalm 67:3-7
  • Fearful harvest is a function of fearful praise. Hebrew 6:10
If His words says seek Him, please do speedly..When He requires praise, do it joyfully. Then the earth will yield her increase in your life. Every obedience of faith entitles you to every blessings that accrue to it. Gen 8:22
  • You can liken it as a Spiritual investment Matt 6:6,18
If you don’t take responsibility you may die a liability. Gal 6:7-8 That shall not be our portion in Jesus name!

Some of ways we can invoke his presence and answers to our prayers

  • Through soul winning John 4:36, proverbs 13:17
  • With our material and financial resources. 2Corin 9:6-8, Due 8:18. Everything you give to God he multiples it back to you. Giving is the gateway to supernatural abundance.
  • Physical labor John 9:4, 1 Corinth 18:10, Luke 10:27
There is nothing you give to God that is wasted.

Why do we need the anointing to qualify for harvest?

Every of our engagement with God requires a joy, He loves a cheerful giver, Due 28:48,47
Another secret weapon is serving and singing in the secret. It takes joy for your investment to be qualified for a reward.
 
We need anointing for tireless investment and anointing for bountiful harvest, return. 2corin 8:3, Joel 1:12.
Where your joy stops is were your harvest stops.
My sincere prayer is for us to acknowledge that we can only search the Lord from His scripture. Praying for you to have an insight to His word today and ever more.
Amen!

When Temptations Come How Do We Overcome Them With The Right Words?

Posted on by

As a christian one thing we must come across at one point or another in our lives is temptations. How we approach it is what will make us or break us. My prayer is God’s Grace to overcome any form of temptation that comes our way with the right word.

tempt

According to the book of Matthew chapter 4.

Just as Jesus was done fasting, the devil knowing what He (Jesus) needs at that time;

  • Food – Because He was hungred after 40 days of fasting. Verse 2
  • Power – Since He was about leaving Galilee to Nazareth to preach the gospel. He needed power to heal the sick and  cast out devils. Verse 23
  • Dominion – For His fame to go all through Syria and to have great multitudes following Him. The devil knew all this and wanted a way to cut him short.

 

For the scripture says not all that calls me Lord Lord will enter into my kingdom. Even the devil quotes the scriptures on several occasion.

 

We learnt he the devil did this to Jesus on 3 separate occasions. Matt 4:3-10

As christians we must know our scriptures – this is our armor to overcome the devil. It’s not just enough to know the scriptures but the rightful applications.

 

The answer Jesus gave in chapter 10 of our study shows the application of force. He had been using “It is written” but here in chapter 10 He said “Get thee hence” which is a force. On most situations that is what our challenges requires for speedy answers and swift turnaround.

The book Matt 11:12 says “And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force”

We realized that at the application of force – This was when the devil left Him. We were made to understand that “The Angels came and ministered to Him” Matt 4:11

Lesson learnt here is – Most times  our prayers has been answered, but for the administration of this answers or solution we are required by God to use the right word.

 

My sincere prayer for you today  is God’s grace to know His words. The rightful applications of His word which will bring forth answers to our long awaited or lingered prayers.

Amen!

Can This Be You?

Posted on by

An aging King realized that if he died he has no one to take over the throne. He decided to adopt a son.

crownHe launched a competition and 10 boys made it to the top. The King said to them, “I have one last test and whoever comes top will become my adopted son and heir to my throne”.

 

He gave each boy a seed of corn and told them to take the seed home, plant and nurture it for 3 weeks. The 10 boys took their seeds and ran home to plant their seeds.

 

In one home, the boy and his parents were sad when the seed failed to sprout. The boy had done everything but he failed. His friends advised him to buy a seed and plant it but his God fearing parents who had always taught him honesty refused.

 

The day came and the 10 boys went to the palace. All the 9 boys were successful.

 

The King went to each boy asking – “Is that what came out of the seed I gave you?” And each boy said “Yes, your majesty”. The King would nod and move down the line until the last boy in the line who was shaking with fear.

 

The King asked him – “What did you do with the seed I gave you?” The boy said “I planted it and cared for it your majesty but it failed to sprout.” The King went to the throne with the boy and said, “I gave these boys boiled seeds and a boiled seed cannot sprout.

corn1

If a King must have one quality, it must be honesty and only this boy passed the test. We live in a society where people will do anything for success.

 

God sometimes does not give us things because He wants to teach us a lesson.

 

  • How many people out there have achieved success the wrong way?
  • How many people send their children to expensive schools and build houses, buy expensive cars with stolen money
  • How many people are occupying top positions yet they stole the certificates?
  • How many people are successful out there at all costs?

 

HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL BE CROWNED AS KINGS IN HEAVEN FOR BEING FAITHFUL UNTIL THE END? I PRAY THAT YOU WILL BE FAITHFUL TILL THE END!!!

Please be faithful to God no matter what life throws at you, even if life gives you boiled seed.

You Are Entitled To Heaven On Earth

Posted on by

 

Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables, according to Mark 4:11

The things of the kingdom is not available to all, but all that are in the kingdom. John 3:3, Mark 12:28-34, John 6:44, Rev 22:15, 1 Corin 6:9-10, 1 Chro 29:9 Being born again is one crucial part of achieving this mandate.

Ever wondered how blur the scripture was to you when you weren’t born again? That must give you an insight about the mystery of the kingdom of God. Only those that are worshiping Him in truth and holiness does He give clear precept to His words.

John 7:37-39, Luke 4:14
There must be a desperation before you can qualify for his supernatural empowerment. You ask it, seek it and knock fervently to attain His supernatural empowerment, here on earth.
Heb 6:5, Luke 11:20, 17:21, Rev 21:1-4, 1 Thes4:13-17, 1 Timo 4:8, Dan 3:27, John 8:48

 

What Are The Requirements To Obtain Heaven On Earth Status?

 

  • It takes righteousness to guarantee the reality of heaven on earth. John 14:12
  • The Anointing of the Holy Ghost is what empowers our operating in that realm of heaven on earth. Luke 4:20, Psalm 63:1-3
  • You must be spirit filled and  prayerful – it’s a platform for our sustainable empowerment. John 3:31

Prayer and fasting keeps the fire burning, Luke 9:28-43

Never give up on your crave to please God. By this you keep the oil on your head fresh. Prov 26:20, Isaiah 11:1, John 1:1-5

Jesus is the living word and the spiritual wood we need to engage to keep the spiritual fire burning.

 

  • Commitment to kingdom stewardship – You don’t have to be a pastor to be a servant of God. Isaiah 41:8, job 1:8, Jon 12:24-26. Heaven on earth demands dedicated stewardship Matt 6:33, Job 36:11

There is no provision of the kingdom without dedication to be met.

 

If you keep to this checklists above, before the 3rd quarter of 2015, all that comes in contact with you will acknowledge the presence of heaven on earth at work in your life – In Jesus Name!

Your Faith Can End Any Famine

Posted on by

We shall draw our teachings from the book 1 Kings 17:8-14

 

As a believer, our decision to obey the Lords command on several occasions thus bring us blessings. Not just us alone including the people around us or that came in contact with us. Since the Lord commanded Elijah to arise and go to Zarephath…The Lord said He had commanded a widow woman there to sustain him.

 

The lesson learnt there is “Elijah’s obedience to God, the widow of Zarephath faith to give her last morsel of bread” led to the end of famine and scarcity in her life. In most cases we must take that limp of faith, cos that is what God requires of us – To release our hanging desires.

 

On most occasions we as Christians fail to put our faith to work…. The good Lord said “Stop looking for me to do what I promised to do. But do what I command you to do. I found out that, our obedience to God thus leads to His release of abundance to us in time of famine and stagnation.

 

  • Everything commanded by the Lord happens with signs following
  • God speaks according to His unlimited resources and not minding our present circumstances.
  • God speaks according to His integrity

 

Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not? Lamentations 3:37

 

Our faith indeed is our master key to the world of unlimited possibilities….. May God give us the grace to put our faith to good works.

My prayer is for God to turn all forms of trials into testimony for you today and evermore. And the grace for us to partake of His divine nature.

Amen!

As The Lord Directs Via His Leading Spirit

Posted on by

The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones.

follow

In the book of Ezekiel 37, we were made to understand how God wrath wonders through the spirit.

And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest. vs 3

He the Lord is mandating us to take charge of our lives and take dominants in all that appeared dead around us. (Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord vs 4) At all times in life what we require is a spoken word. Cos the word of God says ‘A closed mouth is a closed destiny’.

 

I pray the Good Lord shall open our eyes to know the importance of a spoken word. Amen!

 

Just like Ezekiel – So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone. vs 7 – 14

 

Our Take Home Today

The Lord has resolve to

  • Make a Covenant of Peace” with us today.
  • He said He will Bless us and multiple every areas of our lives.
  • And set up His sanctuary in our midst forever.
  • His tabernacle shall be with us, as believers.
  • He shall be our God and we shall be His people [Children]

His words remain ever sure. All we need do as believers is to believe on His promises to us these day. Because His words are Ye and Amen.

My prayer for you today is “Gods agenda towards you this month should come to pass” May He open your eyes, ears of understand today and evermore.

Amen!

Encounter With Power Of His Resurrection

Posted on by

Joy To The World Our Saviour Is Risen

We live in a world were the whole world layth with wickedness, According to 1 John 5:19, Psalm 66:3

Empowerment is the key to our triumph over the wicked.

The only language the enemy respect is the language of power. Our destiny is at a risk without empowerment.

Joel 2:29, acts 2:17

We as Christians  needs to be genuinely empowered, else life will be a risk.

Empowerment is mandatory for every child of God that wants to be triumphant in all spheres of life. Let us as believers know that Empowerment is for everyone, not just for pastors alone, ministers or Bishops. But for all who are genuinely called to His sonship.

I want you to say this with every form of conviction “Lord am set with an encounter with power”. Psalm 110:1-3

  • It will take real empowerment for your faith to be relevant.
  • Resurrection is the ultimate of Gods power. Luke 9:29,30,43
  • Revelation is the gateway to encounter His power, not prayer.

However revelation demands prayer and fasting Philippians 3:10

Revelation is a concern to the 2corin4:4  devil, so he will do everything to make you resist it. Revelation thus establishes your dominion over him and his kingdom.

What is in the power of his resurrection

  • It changes the negative things in us. Its our supernatural change of position.
  • It translates us from darkness to light. Luke 24:32
  • It burns off the veil covering our heart. Hosea 4:6, Isaih 60:1-3,8,22

Apart from salvation of our soul, our greatest access in the kingdom is light. John 1:9,5, Matt 27:51

  • Resurrection power translates us from filthiness to holiness. It destroys the works of the flesh. Rom 8:13
  • It translates our captivity to liberty. Matt 27:52,53
  • Translates sickness to health. Roman 8:11, John 20:21,22, eph 4:4,5

My prayer for you this day is that all that is dead in you, shall experience the risen power of God today and forever more. Amen!

 

God Bless You!

He Died That We Might Live!

Posted on by

Calvary Greetings Friends!
I just prepared this short piece to celebrate the joy of the season….What greater joy – That a man gave His life for you and I to live.

Let’s look briefly the first few verses in the book of Mark chapter 15. We understand here that life generally is filled with battles of envy and pull him down acts.

 

In our life’s we’ve had friends and relatives who are bent on pulling us down, like our saviour Jesus Christ they consulted and counciled against Him. He was bound and delivered to Pilate for no just cause (vs1)

 

What we must note is that as a believer we are bound to be confronted with baseless accusations, just to try our faith in God – like Jesus in verse 2-4 he answered nothing.

 

They rather prefer Barabbas a murderer in place of our saviour – vs 7

 

Our Lord was crucified unjustly so that you and I can have life in abundance… He swallowed death in victory.

Wheresoever you are reading this article from, I want to assure you that God is still in the business of changing lives and destinies. But you owe Him one thing – SALVATION

 

Salvation/holiness without which no man can see the Lord. Except a man is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Just know friend, that Jesus loves you and I – He dead that we might have life in abundance.

 

Thanks for reading…. Kindly share, if pressed to do so!
