WHAT'S THE LORD SAYING...

   We make people the dictators of our behavior. You would like to ask in what way? Don't stress yourself about how that is possible. Take a look at your face in the mirror and see your reaction each time someone tells you how he or she feels about you.
   We have made happiness the best instead of joy. Happiness happens because of something while joy doesn't have a reason, it's just a flow of continuous happiness even in the midst of sorrows (psalms 42:5).
   We call ourselves Christians, but there is no difference between us and the people in the world. What we gain in Christ is righteousness, peace, and joy in the holy ghost ( Romans 14:17); and this is the kingdom of God that is been placed in us(Luke 17:21).
   No matter what your past looks like when you accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, you receive the righteousness of God which means you're made right with God. In all situations, troubles, and circumstances, peace will always be still when you look up to Him. Then spring of Joy will start to flow because the Lord is your source.
   It's not about what your bestie thinks about dear, it's about God and His faithfulness ( Lamentations 3:23). Search the Bible and dig out the treasures of what He says about you. You can't keep living by the verdict of what others think or say.
   Let everything you feel be first expressed to your FATHER in heaven (1peter 5:7), you will find out that no matter how bad or good you feel, you will always have peace within you, and joy will keep flowing. Don't stop that flow with someone else's observation.
   When you are on the wrong path, the holy spirit has His ways of bring you on track (Psalms 23:4). It might be through people or a verse of the bible or an uncomfortable feeling in your mind. Whatever it is that He uses, be sure you will have peace at the end of it if you yield to His promptings.
   Lemme balance things up here, what I meant by people's verdicts or observation is that when others see inferiority in you like you can't be better than this, you aren't good at all, this and that is wrong with you. Don't mind them, always remember that no one can speak concerning when the LORD hasn't.
   But when you the holy spirit corrects you using someone, it hits you hard, causes you to repent, and make your experience a lesson to others. Before you can know what the Lord says about you, you must have taken the time to study His word and get the best for yourself. I pray the Lord will help us 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...
