GETAWAY!

   Have you ever being in a helpless situation where the only thing you wish for is to just forget that you are in existence? That moment you are tired of struggling and battling with an unending crisis, what else do you do? 

Your finance, psychology, emotions, and every other thing connected to you are not stable. You are free of debt and in a moment you have a huge heap of debt that makes you restless or your emotions keep running from pillar to post because it's being carried by the waves of trouble, how can you find rest for your soul? And you've said Lord where are you in all of these? 

How long will you continue with the struggles? People told you to go on vacation, have a break, go have some fun, just a getaway! But I can tell you that sometimes those advice takes you far away from peace. What are you getting away from and where are you running to? 

Who can help you? How can you get out of this? But, I have good news for you. When the tides become unbearable, there is only one person to call to - JESUS! His name is a strong tower when you run to Him, He will save you and keep you safe.

But you don't just go to Him just like that, ranting and shouting about your problems. He is the KING of kings, King of Glory and a defense to those that believe that He is and trust Him enough to handle situations.

Worship the KING. It's an act of trust in troubles. Worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. Don't hide the problem, make it clear to Him and let Him know that "even in this time of unpleasantness, I choose to worship the King". 

In the depth of pain and agony, when destruction is looming and you are justified by man to complain, that is when you turn to God and say Lord I worship you because of WHO YOU ARE just like job did(Job 1:20).

The Lord will arise in His Majesty to make Himself know(Psalms 104:1). You have offered a sweet-smelling incense to the Lord and compelled His attention towards you, trust that He will come through for you to make HIMSELF known(Psalm 143:11). 

Getaway in worship to the Lord God of Heaven and the Earth, and you will have hope and faith arising and peace restored. 

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...
