Yielding to dealings

   There is no doubt that God has made us different. I learned from a man of God that we have our differences as humans. Which is very true. Our backgrounds, environments, mindsets, experiences, and so many things other factors are what makeup who we are.
   When the apostle Paul said those that compare themselves with one another are not wise (2 Corinthians 10:12), I found it so sad that most of us aren't understanding this very verse. It simply means that each one of us have our specialties and codes that are different from others.
    There is a personality behind us(humans) that make our existence of great importance to this world. He created all things and he made man the overseer of all His creations. He is God. Can you imagine how big the earth is and how creations have multiplied over the years?
   But I want you to know that no matter how great the human race has multiplied, we aren't like other creations. We might have things in common like color, race, language, temperament, and so on, but individually we are different from one another and so is our dealings.
   Dealing here means the manner of conduct between a man and his God. The Lord God Almighty is so great that he works with individuals the way he's created us. Tending to what God wants, can only be done successfully through the help of the holy spirit when we've believed in His son - Jesus Christ.
    There are times when we forget how different we are and our specialties. We tend to be like others and want God to work with us the way he does with others. Understanding this fact will help us in our yielding to the holy spirit and His dealings with our personality. Do not want to be like others because you don't know what being like them is like. You don't know what they've experienced, before getting to where they are.
     There are so many gifts and offices in the body of Christ that must be occupied, not because there are many people (which is a part of it) but it is for the edification of the body of Christ. In the distribution of the holy spirit's gifts, we have diverse gifts but the same spirit. We differently structured, being like others isn't God's original plan, but accepting the way we truly are and our configuration is His perfect will. All these are achievable with a perfect result when we walk in and with the spirit. By putting the holy spirit first, as the leader and following his ways with Faith, hoping for the best He wants to make out our individual lives. It is noble to be willing to yield for peace' sake. I pray that the Lord Almighty will grant grace to yield 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...
