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!!!

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...
