DESTINED TO BE.

   In the midst of so many people in a group, there is always a need for someone to take the lead. Among those that are of the same quality, there is always a person who is outstanding. Been outstanding doesn't mean the person has the qualifications, but there is a place of favor, Love, and mercy which is GRACE.
   If the world was to give anyone Love, favour, and mercy, one day the person must have to pay back. But when God shows His, it's everlasting. That is the reason why we Christians must understand that we aren't just a coincidence, but predestined set of people selected by grace to show forth God praises.
   There is a purpose of your calling, it depends on your readiness. You aren't called out of so many people for nothing but you are out of to effect a change in something. To every call, there is a purpose for it.
   Our call to salvation is to make the world know there is a God who can make you a sign and a wonder. Let's take a look at men in the Scripture. Noah was called to save the world from the destruction coming upon it (Genesis 6:9-22). Abraham was called to be a channel of blessings( Genesis 12:1-2). Joseph was called to be a great leader( Genesis 37:1-11). Peter was called to be a fisher of men into God's kingdom(Matthew 4:19). Paul was called to take the gospel of Christ to the gentiles( Acts 13:2). You are called to be a change in one thing or the other (1peter 2:9).
   It doesn't matter where you are now or what you do, as far as God is involved, he can turn a drop of water into a mighty ocean. Faithful is He that has called you because He will do the job (1 Thessalonians 5:24), he wants you to be His representative. There is always a God-given space for you to occupy. You don't need to search, He will create it. So don't think of being like someone else, because He's got a great plan for you. Have FAITH that He's got you covered.
   You don't have to be qualified before you are called but when you are called, grace becomes the qualification. Do not worry about what the future holds or where He's taking you to.
   As far as God is leading, the journey is always glorious at the end, but first, you have to come unto salvation by believing in Jesus Christ as Lord and savior. Then, know your place and look up to Him for the filling of the space to show forth His praises. SHALOM!!!

Lesson In All Things

Learning isn't limited to a gathering of people with a tutor, but an experience that leaves a mark of influence. To learn means to gain knowledge or skill by studying, practicing, being taught or experiencing something. A lesson is a section where something is being taught and learned. It, therefore, means that there must be a teacher and a student. Life is a teacher. It teaches anyone who cares to listen and have wisdom. We are in the habit of running each day the same way and the days turn to weeks, weeks to months and later to years. We forget to pause, pay attention to life and absorb wisdom to live. Some of us have experienced but haven't gotten the lessons out of some. Wisdom is not measured by age or level of exposure or experience, but lessons got from our encounter with life. What did you learn as a child, teenager, adult, parent, businessperson, lawyer, pastor, teacher, etc? Whatever you do isn't as important as what are you learning? What will you pa...

The King Comes

Who is coming? Why is He coming? What is He coming to do? The major reason anyone would stand for anything is because they don't just know, but understand the purpose and mission of that thing.  Sometimes, I find out that I am carried away by activities that don't really matter to the reason why I joined a group or something in the first place. So, what I do to get myself back on track is that: I slow down and ask myself how I got where I am and why I started or made the decision in the first place. And by the grace of God through the help of the Holy Spirit, It works - I find my way back. As Christians, we have been taught so many things and have been involved in so many things(which are very good) that we sometimes lose track of why we are believers in the first place. It is good to serve God and to love others as ourselves, but we must also remember to go back to the cross. Not just to receive grace and strength to do His work, but to also serve as a reminder of t...

SAME GOD

   A song in Yoruba (Nigeria) says " the Lord is, as the time of old, but we don't worship God like old times " . This is very true. I always wonder why there was power in the early churches, but now, we hardly see the manifestations like the ones we read about the book of Acts of the Apostles?!    Some times ago I thought that Christianity was a joke passed down to generations. We have little people in the church performing miracles, what are the other members of the church doing? Are we just smiling at situations and circumstances and say God is in control when God has bestowed power to do on us and has made us gods (psalms 82)?    We are supposed to be armies pulling down strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4) of the devil instead the church is held in captivity of the strong. The Great and Mighty God is always present but we don't seek Him for help. Where is the power of the church?! Haven't we lost it?    The fathers of old, the prophets, and t...
