IT ISN'T YOURS

   When we get to a dead-end, we bring out hammers, chisels, and other tools that we think should break the wall. We tend to forget how we got there and what brought us there. No amount of tools we use, the walls are always stronger than our power at that moment.
   When these tools are of no effect, then, we turn to the best Instrument to pull down the stronghold. Why then the waste of energy when we have the best of instruments that require little or no work?
   You might be wondering what those tools are. They are tools that we often use like fear, worries, anxiety, doubts, and so on. We easily forget the best which is THE WORD OF THE LORD. We use human power to try to solve or figure out the problem instead of trusting in the word of God.
   The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but spiritual to the pulling down of strongholds ( 2nd Corinthians 10:4). According to Ephesians 6:17, we know that the sword of the spirit is the word of God. So why do forget this so easily and let fear creep into our heart when faced with difficulty.
   We've come a long way, why should we back of now that we need faith most? The time of difficulty is the step that precedes victory. We can only believe this when we have FAITH in Jesus Christ. He is the way out of every dead end.
   So no matter how strong, rigid, gigantic, and other big qualifications for your Goliath, the battle is the Lord, but the victory is YOURS. The fight isn't yours. You will get tired because everything you depend on outside the Lord is nothing.
   Surrender and trust in the Lord. You will keep seeing a way where there is no way that will always make you more than a conqueror when you put your TRUST in the Lord Jesus Christ. God bless you.

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...
