Hand of God

    The hand is one of the most functioning parts of the body. We carry, hold, pick, and do many other things with it depending on the weight of the object. But how are sure God has hands? Well, my simple answer to that is that he that created hands, how can He not have hands?
   He definitely has! To be sure, the scripture says the when Jesus died and resurrected, He went straight to sit at the right hand of God. This means He has and He's got a left hand too. We are His image, a reflection of what He has.
    When we talk about any part of God, it signifies His presence. Each part have their functions, but His hand gives strength (Isaiah 41:10). When the hand of Lord is mentioned, it's either to win a battle, set captives free (Exodus 7:5), to create His fear in the heart of His people (Joshua 4:24), to give the wicked their rewards (Psalms 75:8).
   The Lord's hand follows those that spread the gospel(Acts 11:21) and so many other great works. Our God is good, merciful, loving, and mighty. He fight for his children and always against their oppressors and persecutors. His hand signifies that His presence is with a man anyone who tries to go against him will have to face the darkness that will come upon him (Acts 13:11). You can't afford to see His hand go against you.
   To be is child requires just your Faith in His Son Jesus Christ who died for your sins and gave you eternal life. When you believe and confess it, you are saved and the Lord's presence will always be with you. The Holy Spirit directs you. All things begin to work out for good if you can just believe.
   Though the hand of the Lord can't be seen with our physical eyes, but we'll see what it does. It is a thing to work and gain profit, but it takes the grace of God to eat the fruit of one's labor and be satisfied which is also evidence that the hand of the Lord is upon you (Ecclesiastes 2:24). It is a privilege to eat and drink from one's labor and only the Lord's hand can grant grace. All we have to do is to wait upon him and believe! May His hand always strengthen and be with and for us in Jesus name! Amen. 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...
