The Word That Makes.

"The words I speak to you are spirit and life"(John 6:63)- this was what Jesus Christ said Himself. It wasn't a prophets' or an angel, but the Word which was made flesh and dwelled among men. 

Words are powerful tools used for so many things but the main functions are to make or mar. When the Lord God of heaven and the earth created it, He brought them all into existence with His word. 

He heals, delivers, creates and destroys. It depends on the situation on the ground. He destroyed darkness by calling forth light(John 1:1-4). He destroy things because there is a better offer to the present situation. He doesn't destroy without a plan of building something better(John 2:19-22).

The words said by the Lord can be seen just like Habakkuk set to see what HE wants to say (Habakkuk 2:1). They come into existence, the word of God can be tangible and to as many, that will believe in the word, to them is life and power given. So far it's the word of the Lord, it always makes, builds and brings things into existence.

But the devil on the other hand, speaks too, but they are lies. He'll tell you things just for the purpose of destruction. He weakens by condemning which leads to death. His lies steals, kills and in the end, it destroys(John 10:10).

But thank God for Christ Jesus who is the word, way, truth, and life(John 14:6), HE IS THE WORD THAT MAKES. We as humans have a decision to make here. Who are we for? The Father of all who is true, just and faithful or the father of lies? Life or death? To build or to break? To make or mar?

Over the years people have learned how to abuse in a decent manner while others have also been taught how to encourage others. We all represent something and one of the ways to identify people is by their speech.

What we practice over and over again becomes a lifestyle sooner or later. Words are used to encourage and discouraged, to scorn and to praise. Any which way it is used, we must be conscious of what we are about to say. Is it to make or mar?

Sometimes we don't get words of encouragement from our environment as we want, thereby causing us to be depressed or lash back at people, but here is the solution. It doesn't matter what anyone says or doesn't say about you, know what the Lord says about you.

Take your time to STUDY AND STAND ON THE WORD OF GOD and dig out treasures for yourself and make you special(Joshua 1:8). All the lies the devil has told you can be counter by claiming the promises of God in CONFESSION in PRAYERS and the blood of THE LAMB of God ( Revelation 12:11). 

Be strong and of good courage. Don't listen to the enemies or oppositions. You are far above them because you are seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus! He is your strength against all odds and lies you've been told. His words truly make, builds and transforms. 

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...
