PERCEIVING GRACE

   If you aren't thirsty, I don't know think there is a need to drink water. But when you see a need to drink water regularly, you get thirsty. You can't want anything until you see the need for it.
  When food and water is scarce, we will develop deficiencies. In a situation where there's famine and drought and someone offers to give food and water for free. Won't people rush towards the person, no matter how far he/she is?
   But we are in a time and era where people who need water and food aren't thirty and hungry. The Lord offers us everything our spirit man needs to grow, but surprisingly we reject Him.
   How would you feel, if you gave someone something from your heart and he/she rejects it? (If you aren't selfish or having a bias mind in the first place), you will feel bad. Even the Lord does. He gave a call and we think it wasn't for us.
   In Isaiah 55:1 He said "let  everyone that is thirsty, come he to the waters, and he hath no money, come ye, buy and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price". Oh, that's deep.
  As Christian we should know that water, wine, milk and bread are the foundation for GRACE and they have great significance. These things that make up grace made everyone that believe in Christ Jesus equal (Galatians 3:28). We are called to obtain grace, but only few understands. Some are ignorant which cause them to  struggles in grace ( they don't know what they have received). Some never believed what they know and their unbelief has blocked their spiritual senses. They don't perceive or know anything, and this cause them to think they ain't thirsty and hungry. Only those that are thirsty and hungry can be filled with the holy spirit (Matthew 5:6).
   To those that have their senses, don't get tired of been thirsty and to those that not active, ask the holy spirit to revive your spiritual senses and when you thirst, go drink from to the living water (John 7:37), when you are hungry, eat the bread of Life. All this can be activated through fasting and prayer. Fasting makes you more sensitive and prayer is the act of asking for what you perceive and want. I pray that we will never be weary in Jesus name. But we must also wait ( trust) upon the Lord and He will renew our strength in Jesus name. Amen.

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...
