Possessing or positioning

The condition of having or owning something is called a possession. When a man buys, got, or steal something, so far it has changed hands from one person to the other (whether legal or illegal), wherever that thing is found is a possession to whoever claims it.


Position on the other hand is a place where someone or something should be. "Should" in the definition shows that its an expected place. People have been finding a way to fit in so many places, but just because you fit somewhere doesn't mean that it is your place.


Finding your place has to do with who you are first. In the process of knowing who you are, you will get to know what you are meant to do and where you are supposed to be. When you understand who you are, then you can take your place and have what you want.


We have confused positioning to possessing things. They are two different things as defined above but could be related. When the positioning is right, the possession is given.


If everyone knows how important they are in their places, we won't have people quarreling over to have this and that. We are dynamically different, and each of us has a part (of God) to showcase in the body of Christ and in the world.


We must then know who we are and what we have in Him. Our Lord Jesus Christ asks if life is not more than food or the body more than clothes? ( Matthew 6:25), which are what we know to be the basic things of life(physical), but they're more if we can seek to know the true life. 

    This is a generation where many people are desperate about making money, living luxuriously and these have displaced many from their initial places which have made them selfish and pierce themselves through with sorrows. It's a sad thing that, we who are made in the image of Christ are found envious of these people and the things they possess.

Our reference point determines the kind of person we will be. We are to look up to Jesus(Hebrew 12:2) not pastors or anyone (the best of a man is a man). When we behold Him, we are changing as in a mirror through the Holy Spirit from glory to glory. The one who asked us to seek God's kingdom already told is that other things will follow(Matthew 6:33).


Why pursue something that is vain, when I can have them run after me if I seek God's kingdom? I will rather chase God to have eternity than follow a multitude to do evil just to have things that are temporary, what will be my gain at the end?. All we can ever desire can be found in Christ.
    
Don't think your possession is the main thing, it's just a plus. Your position in Christ Jesus matters the most. Stay with Him. 

Matthew 6:24-32.

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...
