RELATIVE TO CHRIST

RELATIVE TO CHRIST John 1:12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— --------------------------------------------      Have you ever pondered of the link between you and God? Have you thought about what is going on between you and Christ? Christ being born was something that changed the relationship that we had between ourselves and God. In those days, God drew rules. Anything and anyone that fell away from those rules would face the punishment right away. Even at some point, people were not given time to repent as God's rule didn't give such room. But when Christ was born, rules changed. Of course not all rules. But rules that threatened existence. Instead of being stoned for a sin committed , there is now room for repentance.  Even in those days, we see that there were selected people who were to perform miracles and be prophets and pastors. But Christ being born turned the term of ...

AT NIGHT

AT NIGHT 1 Kings 3:5 At Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon during the night in a dream, and God said, “Ask for whatever you want me to give you.” --------------------------------------------    Every morning, we all get the ways and get ready for the day. We know its a day to work and look for what matters to make our dreams matter. Even in the day, we work so hard to make ends meet. We toil and toil and toil. But this is not the only place of toil. There is a time when a similar toil of a different dimension is also called for.  The Lord is holy and communicates with holy grounds. In many times the Lord spoke to his people, he spoke at night. He spoke when there is sleep. If he interacts with holy grounds, it is easy for him not to interact with hearts full of iniquity. Many people miss out on this communication because of the so much iniquity they hold in their hearts before going to sleep. It is good to purify in the blood prior sleep to have the holy comm...

LIQUID FAITH

LIQUID FAITH Luke 17:5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” --------------------------------------------    They had lived and walked with Him for some time. He called each of them from different angles of life. Some were fisher men and others were tax collectors. They had different things that filled their hearts rather than the things of the Lord. When they started to walk with the Christ, they didn't immediately know that He was the Christ. It took them so long to get to understand that for sure the one they were walking with was the Christ. And when at one point Jesus asked "who do you think I am", Peter said, "you are the Christ". And that regardless of what others had called Him, they called Him Christ. But that was after some time of moving with Him and accumulating special knowledge that obviously suggested to them. Jesus started His miracles right away when He started to pick the disciples. For Him, He was filled with power f...

CARING

PERCEPTION :                   CARING Matthew 6:22 "The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. --------------------------------------------    "Looking effortless requires effort". No one will see you better than you see yourself. No person will love you more than you should love yourself. No one will care for you more than you care for yourself. It is you who understands yourself. It is you who knows your deep in's and deep outs.  There is a way we can tend to want help from church leaders because you feel they - with the good eyes will be able to see us better and help us better. Yes they can help . But the one who knows you better is yourself. The better am talking about is as a whole. It is possible someone else sees greatness and talent in you before you realize it. But am talking about your eye and your whole body.  It is easy to think that someone el...

PERCEPTION :                       ADEZE 2 Proverbs 27:9 Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart, and the pleasantness of a friend springs from their heartfelt advice. -------------------------------------------- (... Continued ) Adeze decided to burn all her mini dresses and stock in new looking dresses. She even took Ewuka to help her select dresses that would match her taste. She started wearing decently with elegant perfumes and cosmetics. She realized her worth was not in mini dresses and that her perception was totally wrong. She changed her perception. She would go around the village and greet people with a respectful smile and dress code. Elders of the land were highly pleased and Adeze won respect better than she had before. She even got a responsible husband with whom she got twins. They lived happily. Her perception changed. When we see this in our lives, we see a similar pattern. There are things we ...

ADEZE

PERCEPTION :                       ADEZE Proverbs 27:9 Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart, and the pleasantness of a friend springs from their heartfelt advice. --------------------------------------------     A long time ago , there lived a maiden in a kingdom of western Africa. Her name was Adeze. She had her friend called Ewuka.  Adeze was good at crafting her style. She wore luxurious clothes and modified African prints. She could wear any type of clothes she wanted as long as she saw them on the street. Even the latest imported fashion pieces, she would crave. But Adeze had one thing. There are times she wore tiny and very short clothes. And whenever she would want to visit Ewuka - her friend, she knew it was chance for her to move the village roads as many men would see her. So she could wear short clothes to attract men's attention on her way to Ewuka's home. She also would use her usu...

ARBITRATOR

PERCEPTION :                   ARBITRATOR Matthew 7:1-2 "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. --------------------------------------------     It is easy to go about seeing lines of weaknesses in others and trying to conclude on given matters. Even with what they wear and how they look like. We don't mean 'not thinking about them or having an opinion'. Obviously your mind will produce opinions on a given person from looks to dress work. There are people who say to others that they will never make it. They say that they will not manage. Even after opening a small business selling small merchandise, they say to them that they will fail in that. And when they wish to scale and try to share with them their plans to scale the business, they say to them that they cannot manage such platform. Telling a person ...

THE CREED AT THE THRONE

THE CREED AT THE THRONE   Psalms 40:1  I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. -------------------------------------------- There are of course alot of times we pray for something and we feel we need that fast enough. And if am not mistaken , it is most of the times that we pray. We simply want answers right then. And some demand for the answers right away. But either way, you want God to come to your aid at the time you think He should come. But have you ever wondered why some people pray and receive their answers alittle fast compared to a similar prayer someone else had? Well that happens, you can pray and I pray the same thing yet we receive answers at different times.  With the scripture above, interpreting it may seem easy, but diving into it could seem a bit hard. The psalmist says, he patiently waited, then the Lord came to him and heard Him. The important note here is patiently waited. And secondly we see that the Lord comes...

OMNIPRESENT

OMNIPRESENT Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. -------------------------------------------- One trouble that sets the pace of all other troubles is the fact that we draw in our minds. We may move through this world . We may encounter various situations. We may encounter various people. And of course we may encounter various challenges. What sets the pace for great challenges is thinking you are in singular. When a house is built on a single pole, it makes the house vulnerable to winds and rains. But the house that is built on various poles and support gives its inhabitants confidence of being safe from any form of disturbances. Even in those days, when they used send us for oil at a near by shop in the night, we had very strong fears. Of course you had to request for a torch for a company that you imagine will protect you.... though it lightens the dark black. Even with the light, you still feel afraid. But when we were sent in a group, there is...

FORWARD

FORWARD Luke 13:33  In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day—... --------------------------------------------    A Levite in the desert thought was cunning. After killing the Egyptian, he sauntered back to the community. Little did he realise that he was noticed by his fellow and that the news had gone about faster than it could. Knowing this, he fled to Midian where he met the Lord. And being asked by the Lord to rescue his people from slavery, Moses refused. He thought that role was better with someone more superior. But after the Lord insisting, he took the task. The people who were thought as slaves were no lesser to stubbornness and disrespect. They gave Moses hard time. But one thing that happened was forward movement.  Even the Lord used lots of wonders to sustain them through the journey and yet many died from their stubbornness. But regardless of their deaths, the journey went forward. God moved forward. Moses faced the worst of trial...
