Now: All we Have

The past is far behind, the future is not within reach, but what you have is this moment in time. We are always in the middle of something, we sometimes don't know the past accurately and the future is uncertain. All we know is what we have to do now and see how that help or contribute to the well-being of the future.

But some of us concentrate on the past and lose focus on now, while some look into the future and their present is full anxiety of the uncertain things that are to come. The successes or failures of the past, mean nothing to your future if the present is fully maximized. Now is all you have, don't take it for granted.

Forget about what has happened; don't keep go­ing over old history. Be alert, be present. I'm about to do something brand-new(Isaiah 43:18-19 MSG).

When God does the new thing, will you be present to witness it? Or will you be locked in your past or future? God is working in your now and only Him can promise your next. Will you let Him?

Will you let Him set you free from the errors of your past or the successes you have camped around and let Him bring you into a higher and restful place in Him? Will you allow anxiety pressure you into not sowing or doing the work of now to attain the glory ahead?

Be at rest, God will give the strength and increase of now. The subsequent step and definite end is also God's to give. Will you trust Him to handle it? Now is a gift and that's all we have. Maximize it because it determines NEXT.


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...
