WORK

    Work is the task or duty that is one's accustomed means of livelihood. It is a good thing to wine, dine, and be satisfied with the result of the work of your hand because it is the hand of God upon you (Ecclesiastes 2:24).
   The implication of the above explanation shows that there is no food for the lazy. No work= No food. We live in a world where we want everything to appear the way we picture it without doing anything. We want magical things that require no work, forgetting that those things can't last. They are ephemeral.
   Only the work of our hands can be blessed. God can't bless emptiness. It's like multiplying a huge set of numbers with zero, the result will always be zero. Our Almighty God who is the FATHER of all work. Genesis chapter 1 reveals the great and mighty works of creation that the Lord did. When the creator work, why won't the creation work too.
   When the Lord created all things, the only creation he gave a job was MAN. Even after the fall, he still gave him work - to till the ground. Man must work either in EDEN (His presence) or out of the Eden( without God). But we must be sure that anything done without God in vain.
   Some people in the church believe that God is magical. They'll say "I have faith". Let me gist you, faith without work is dead(James 2:14-26). Do you think things just happen? Go ask that we are making it with the help of God.
   You can keep applying principles with nothing, faith with nothing, the endpoint of all is nothing. Get something doing. We can't have lazy and jobless people in the body of Christ and expect the gospel to spread.
   We all have to be successful in the field we are, to show forth God's glory in what we do. Others might be poor doing it, but when the Lord gives you special wisdom on how to go about it, you will be amazed at what will come out of it.
    People like Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, David, Daniel, Peter, Paul, and so on didn't do any special thing, but the hand of God upon them made them men that did exploit in their time because they knew that the Lord was with them.
     God is omnipresent - always everywhere we go. We must understand that he's also ever the same ( Hebrews 13:8). We must trust in Him and do your part and the lord will greatly multiply our little efforts in Jesus' name. Amen. SHALOM!

You Are Mary

The first Mary was not the only lady named MARY which was recorded in the Bible is found in the new testament. She was "a virgin", which means she wasn't the only one who was a virgin in her time, but she found favor with God and was chosen to bear the Holy seed of God. Mary, the highly favored, blessed among women and the Lord was with her. That was how she was seen by the Lord. Her assignment was to carry the seed of God, deliver a son, and He shall save His people, rule them and His kingdom is forever. Her question wasn't what's in it for me? It was HOW? What's the plan? The answer was the Holy Spirit will come upon you, the power of the Highest hover over you. Therefore, the child you bring to birth will be called Holy, Son of God. It's all planned by God, yours is to align. You are Mary, but whose seed are you carrying? Definitely not Christ Jesus. But what result will the seed you are carrying bring? Are you aligned to be chosen? Are you recept...

Wrap Ups

Endings are better than beginnings. Sticking to it is better than standing out ( Ecclesiastes 7:8; MSG). The end justifies the means and starting could be great, but there is nothing as fulfilling and satisfying as the wrapping up of a thing with strength and grace. It is better not to start anything at all than to give up halfway. If we must start a thing, then we must follow through to the end. It builds discipline, consistency, and focus. When a person sets out for a journey, the thing expected on the way can only be assumed but not accurate. Which makes the destination and finishing well a necessity for greatness and forging further. This year has been amazing and some many things were unexpected, but regardless of the emotions experienced, God is good! When we thought it was over and there was no way we will make it, He showed and made a way. The most important thing when we are wrapping up anything is Thanksgiving. It could have only been God. If only we c...

God's or Abraham's?

   The moment the word "children" appears, what comes to mind most the time is the result or outcome of a process. Especially when the psalmist was describing children in Psalms 127:3-5. My eyes were open to seeing results as children. Definitely, children have fathers. Let not go into defining children ( you can always read my post on CHILDREN), But my concern is that sometimes we (Christians) are referred to as Abraham's offspring and at the same time, we are called the children of God. How are we children of God and also Abraham's? It is possible that we are the offspring of both God and Abraham (His friend). We are considered as Abraham's offspring when we believe (Galatians 3:6-8), because the first to exercise Faith in God was Abraham and we are called his children because we are doing exactly what he did which was counted to him as righteousness(John 8:39) - FAITH . So we (believers) are the re-produced version(children) of the Father of Faith - Abraham...
