The Lord helps

Help means to give or make something (work or anything) easier for another person. We all need help in our lives except if we want to pretend that we can do all things all by ourselves. It might be encouragement, material things, time, or money.
   We do not have it all. We have strengths to do some things but don't forget your weaknesses. We see and know in part. Whatever strength you've got realize that someone needs to rest on it because he/she is weak in that area.
   Don't be proud. You never can tell maybe the person relying on you for strength has a strength that your weakness also needs. Stay humble. Humility is a prerequisite for greatness. If Jesus Christ our Lord never humble Himself, God wouldn't have given the Name above all names. Pride is destructive, while humility brings honor.
   I know there are people who seem to be lonely in all areas. When they are in the midst of the multitude, they are alone. Their minds have registered that they are the only different person in the whole world which brings about low self-esteem.
   It might not necessarily mean being alone with yourself, but being secluded out of a group, society, family, friends, church, and so on because of your mindset. To people like this, I bring you good news- JESUS LOVES YOU!
   You might it really hard to believe, but it true. When the situations of life are making you sink in them and all you see is the situation around you, remember for a second that Jesus is right there with His arm wide open if you can just believe and accept His warm embrace.
   You can't get all the answers you need from friends, parents, the internet, and other sources. They should point you to Jesus for your restoration.
  Join the psalmist in saying "I will lift up my eyes on to the hills, from whence comes my HELP?". You will get the reply that it comes from the Lord. He is ready to lead you beside the still water for the restoration of your soul.
   He is the present help in times of need. Before you call, he will hear and answer. Don't be downcast by anyone. You are a great personality and the Holy Spirit is ready to help if you will allow Him. He gives grace which supplements for our weaknesses.
   The death and resurrection of Christ Jesus gave us grace (the ability to do). Will you keep winning at your past or the situation or look up to Jesus Christ for help? Will focus on your weakness or join Paul in saying "I can do all things through Christ..."? Don't give up on yourself or what God has to offer. He loves and wants the best for you. Open your eyes of FAITH to see His help, accept and enjoy it. God bless us! 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...
