ARE YOU BARREN?

2013-06-26T03:05:00.001-07:00

Something new dawn on me while studying the Book of Matthew 13:12 and I would like to share. Let the wise read and increase in wisdom.

Matthew 13:12; “Whoever has will be given more, and he will have abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him”
Perhaps you have come across this particular Bible verse and you ask yourself why should someone who does not have be taken away from and the one who has enough be given more?

Jesus was actually talking about fruitfulness. When we talk about being fruitful or fruitfulness, the first or perhaps the only thing that comes to the mind of many is the material thing – Having enough material possession.

God sees it far beyond that. Most importantly, he sees it in a productive life bearing fruits of righteousness. Though he will be blessed with material possessions (perishable things), but more importantly to God is that such life is laying up resources in heaven for the kingdom benefits.

The first part of the above texts says “Whoever has will be given more, and he will have abundance…” Why? He is living a productive life for the kingdom benefits. He is not just a sitter who sits with what has been committed into his hand, but a mover who goes about trading with his talent for the kingdom good. Such person the Book of John says, “God Prunes” so that he bears more and more. Each time you bear fruits with whatever God has placed in your hands, you increase your worth in heaven. You become more relevant.

The second part of the texts says; “Whoever does not have, even what he has (i.e what he has been given and he refuses to bear fruits with it) will be taken from him”.

God hates fruitlessness. In fact, the first word God said to man in the beginning was “BE FRUITFUL...” (Gen. 1:28). He hates people who has been given and refuse to increase with it. Whatever you have been given is not for people to hail or praise you but to make something out of it – to bear fruits.
This second set of people I call SITTERS. They are uncommitted to the course God has placed in their hands. They serve God conveniently and as a result do not increase.

This is what God says about this kind of people in Luke 3:9;
“The axe is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire”.

A fruitless man in God’s sight is of no relevance in the kingdom agenda. He is never recognized because he has be rejected and abandoned. We have been appointed to bear fruits – a lasting one (John 15:16).

Bear Fruits today, bear it tomorrow and never stop bearing it.

Do You Have It In Your Heart?

2013-06-14T08:04:00.000-07:00

We live in a world where so many things are fighting for a place in our heart. A World where we face the battle of what we should allow goes into our heart and what not to allow.

So, what do you have in your heart, the word or the world? The Psalmist cried out what was in his heart in Psalm 119:11;

“Your word have I hid in my heart, that I may not sin against thee”.

Whatever a man keeps or treasure in his heart will eventually be a reality in his life. How David could had stored up the word of God in his heart? Because he had given himself to the studying it.

David knew that he can’t have the word in his spirit and still live as the world and that is why he said “….that I may not sin against thee”.

Young men, study! I mean study the word. It is quite unfortunate that we have given ourselves to so many things than we give to our personal study of the word. The word you don’t sit down to study today will not be there to deliver you in the period of adversity.

Some think by giving themselves to the studying of the word, they will always sound too spiritual. But let me say this, that the knowledge of the scriptures gives you a better understanding of things in all other aspect of lives.

One of my favorite portions of the scriptures is the words of Paul in;

Now I commit you to God and to the word of his grace which is able to build you….” - Acts 20:32;

This word of Paul in the above text has been my motivation in studying the word. I have come to found out that for any youths to lay hold and become all that God purposed for him to become, the word of God must not be lacking in his/her life.

No wonder Paul said;

Let the word of Christ dwell in you RICHLY as you teach and admonish one another with ALL WISDOM. – Col. 3:16.

Wisdom is the principal thing. You and I need true wisdom to fulfill our callings and destiny and this wisdom can only be found when the word of God dwells in us richly.

Let no man deceive you young men, the word of God builds up. It does not just build you up in the spirit, it also build you up in every other areas of life, giving you insights and understanding of things and equipping you for your divine purpose. So, labour in the word.

That’s why Jesus said;

“Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that comes out of the mouth of God”. – Matt. 4:4.

I challenge you, your men! Be a word-lover. Look at things you have given yourself to in the last five months aside the study of the word and sincerely list out their positive impact on your live today. I am sure there will be nothing tangible to write.

You have not really grown up as you always want to be because you are yet to give yourself to the study of the word of his grace which is able to build you up.

Study the word! Looking at my life and who I use to be in the last 4-5years now, I can boldly say how the word has helped me grow and I’m still very much growing.

Hear this; God will only entrust things in your hand by the proportion of His word indwelling in you. So study the word. The word is really lacking in so many believers today and even among the church workers. If you would give yourself to it from today, things will be becoming clearer to you as you move on in life and you will reap the benefit of the word.

Build your spirit man today by STUDYING THE WORD OF HIS GRACE WHICH IS ABLE TO BUILD YOU UP.

Remain Bless!!

Day And Night

2013-06-11T05:07:00.002-07:00

John 9:4; “As long as it is DAY, we must work the work of Him who sent me. NIGHT is coming when no-one can work”.

From this Biblical truth, I would like to pen down new insights using the day and night from the above scripture as it relates to youthful period which symbolizes the day and old age, the night. So hear me as I speak!

As long as it is DAY, Work!

The day is a period of activities, it is a period when men wake up to make things happen. It is never a period to waste time. It is a period where things are most achievable.

The day is simply the youthful period. It is the period to work, the period where more can be done. A youth who waste the day (the days of ones youth) will live to regret the night.

The period of the day can only be experienced once. In other words, you can only be a youth once. Once a youth, never a youth!

So, if you are a youth, rejoice, you are in the period of the day. The period where strength is available to choose to decide how you want your night to be. It is a time of early beginning. It’s the period that determines the wellbeing of the night; it is the period that determines the beauty, glory or shame of the night. It is the period where permanence is gained of which you can’t change in your night what you have spent the period of your day (the time of your youth) to write.

While listening to Bro Gbile Akanni message titled “Battle for the Young”. He said; “Everything that is your destiny is rooted in your youth”

So, as you keep on living in the day (your youthful period), know that;

NIGHT is coming;

Usually the night is not a time to work or for any activities, it is a period of rest from the labour of the day. In marketplaces, men and women pack their goods inside the store seeing that night has come. No more activities in the night. Whatever the seller achieves in the day, he enjoys in the night. So, for gains to come in at night, the day must be wisely spent.

Like I stated earlier, the period of the day is ones youthful time and no one can be a youth twice, it can only be once. The night is the old age. No one grows up and not grow old.

The look of the night season will be as a result of the use of the day. Because permanence is gained in the course of the day (in the period of one’s youth as a result of how you lived your life), nothing can be undone in the night. It is either a lasting regrets or a lasting enjoyment as a result of the wise use of the day.

I have seen some old men working tirelessly in their night season when they should be enjoying. Many of which fails to use their day (their youth period) wisely and are they struggling in their night. Many wasted their day on pleasures and things that has led them to nothing.

Here this wise word; “Open your eyes in the day to close it in the night or close it in the day and you will live to open it in the night”. I believe you have the understanding of this word. When you open wide your eyes in your youthful period, which symbolizes the day, knowing and becoming all that God purposed for you, you enjoy your old age which stands for the night in pleasure and fulfillment and vice versa.

So, the choice is yours! Enjoy the day in pleasure and work in the night in total struggle and pains. This is the time YOU CAN. A time will come YOU CAN NO LONGER.

And above all hear what Jesus said:

John 15:5;

I am the vine, you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit. WITHOUT ME, YOU CAN DO NOTHING.

Remember this word and your night will be pleasant!

Remain Blessed!!

Who Are You Following?

2013-06-06T06:27:00.002-07:00

Proverbs 13:20;

Solomon, the wisest man before Jesus came wrote; “He who walks with the wise grows wise; but a companion of fools suffers harm”.(NIV)

A wise man added; who you follow determines what follows you.

Who you follow determine to a very large extent what you eventually become.

He who choose to follow a fool suffers harm together

The reality of your life till this moment is hugely determined by whom you have been following.

Jesus said to Peter and his brother Andrew; “Come, follow me,” “and I will MAKE YOU fishers of men”

Who you follow will either MAKE YOU or MAR YOU.

Something changes in the life of Peter and his brother Andrew when they chose to follow Jesus; “ they were no longer fishermen but FISHERS OF MEN.

Your making is determined by whom you choose to follow.

If you are not willing to follow him, he’s not ready to make you.

No following on your part, no making on his part.

Those who follow him, others follow.

Following Jesus does not make you a fool as some think, it only makes you FULL.

Others may mock you as you follow him, but God will make you.

Those who follow him walks on the path of fulfillment.

No one follows him and miss the way.

As you keep following him, he will keep making you.

REMEMBER THIS DAY – PART TWO

2013-05-31T08:07:00.001-07:00

No doubts, we all have days and more specific a day we cannot forget in our lives. A day we smile, laugh, cry and shed tears of joy when we remember.

If you ask some people what day they cannot forget? Some will go back to their pasts and tell you it was the day their now husband proposed to them. Some, the day they got wedded.

Some will tell you it was the day they attended a particular great event, some, a day they got admission and a day they graduated from school. Some sets of people may even tell you it was they lost their mother, father, sibling or friend and some will tell you it was the day they received an award in school or the day they won a great global competition. In short, no man on earth will not have a particular day among others that he or she will forever keep dear to his or her as long as he or she lives.

Every occurrences and experiences in life makes memory of a particular day permanent in our lives that we dare not forget.But as important some of this day may appear to us, there is a day we must all keep dearer to our heart. A day that must be beating hard in our heart. A day that must shape the way we live our lives every day

A day we must not let go off our heart in every step we may take. But unfortunately, millions of young people have forgotten this day; millions of aged man and woman never for ones remember or remind themselves of this day. The pleasures and the continuing increase of ungodliness have made it very difficult for many teenagers to even think of it for seconds.

In fact, one circular artists once sang it that this day can never come to reality that they should keep enjoying life to the fullest and perhaps as you are reading this, you don’t even sense the day I am talking about or it was never crossed your mind.

The gospel truth is that this day will surely come. What is this day we MUST all remember?

1 Thessalonica 5: 1-2 has this to say;

But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that THE DAY OF THE LORD so cometh as a thief in the night.

Yes! It is the day of the Lord. It is a day many will shout “Ah” in great regret and many will shout “Yes” in great rejoicing and jubilation. Remember this day! It is a day nothing will no longer matter but a life well spent for the service of the master in holiness, faithfulness, love and righteousness.

REMEMBER THIS DAY!! THE BIBLE CALLS IT THE DAY OF THE LORD, COMING QUICKLY!!

Amend your ways, may you not the caught unaware, amen.

AND SUDDENLY…..

2013-05-28T09:57:00.001-07:00

A composer once sang “We shall reap if we do not stop, we shall reap if we faint not. All that we do will be rewarded”. Those who faint, fails the reward and those who overcomes receives the rewards.

There will be a day when the works of man will be permanently being put to a stop. A day where nothing will no longer matter but your service for the kingdom benefits. A day where all men will stand to receive according to all that he has done. A day where no man will miss his rewards.

It will be a day where all the things that matter to man now will no longer do, and the ONLY thing that will matter is a relationship with the master (GOD). It will surely be a day of great fear and panicking. A day that will determine where you spend your eternity by whom you take so dear to your heart today.

It will surely be a day that no man will escape, a day that will never come to mind of any man before it happened. When it will happen no man knows but it will SURELY happen. Prepare for it. It will be a day that will not be determined by family background, educational background, positions, achievements, riches or accomplishment.

The Bible made it clear to us all that it is not the day of any man, but the day of the Lord. We are presently living in our own day now, but a day will soon come that no man will have any control over, it is a day that God himself has made.

It will be a day full of surprises, a day where the unusual will be seen, a day where all works will put to a stop, a day where few will be caught up and many will be left behind. A day where the news broadcasting station all over the world will be the same (the reporter says; oh news reaching us here says thousands of people just got disappeared in Texas, brazil, Nigeria and many more are still disappearing) . A day where fathers will no more see their son, where son will no more see his dear parent. A day where many friends will part ways forever to see no more.

Where will you be on that? Of course you must decide now, this is your day to decide. Waiting for that day to come unaware will be too dangerous for you to decide then because it will no longer be your day but the DAY OF THE LORD.

A BIT OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN ON THAT DAY

Many will regret, few will rejoice

Two shall be going, ONE SHALL BE TAKEN, THE OTHER SHALL BE LEFT

Three friends shall be going back home from a Sunday service, TWO SHALL BE TAKEN, THE OTHER SHALL BE LEFT.

Two shall be grinding, ONE SHALL BE TAKING, THE OTHERS SHALL BE LEFT.

Thousands will be on school campus, FEW SHALL BE TAKEN, THE OTHERS SHALL BE LEFT.

Many will be in a wedding ceremony, A FEW SHALL BE TAKEN, MANY OTHERS SHALL BE LEFT.

Many will be in a viewing center watching football, FEW SHALL BE TAKEN, MANY OTHERS SHALL BE LEFT BEHIND.

Two shall be sleeping, ONE SHALL BE TAKEN, THE OTHER SHALL BE LEFT.

The choristers will be singing on a Sunday service, FEW SHALL BE TAKEN, MANY OTHERS SHALL BE LEFT.

Jesus said “I am coming quickly and my rewards are with me. I will give to everyone as his deeds are” (Rev. 22:12).

The good news is that Jesus is not coming back empty handed; he is coming with something to give to every man. No man will surely miss his rewards, be it good or bad. The similarities about Heaven and Hell is that they are both eternal, they last forever and the agony and enjoyment goes forever.

Galatians 6:7; “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked, whatever A MAN SOWS, HE SHALL REAP.

Think On These Things!

A wise man will hear and will increase learning!

May I not be found wanting at your coming Oh Lord

THE DAY OF THE LORD IS COMING SOON!! Be prepared

MY TOP TWELVE PERSONAL WISE SAYINGS

2013-05-24T01:26:00.000-07:00

1.       “Those who do not BELIEVE cannot BECOME”
          Our belief shapes our lives; it shapes our thoughts and our commitment.
          If you don't believe in your God – given vision, you have already killed its reality

2.   “The real us is what we become because of our purpose we pursue”
      The real you are in your inner purpose. If you truly want to live, labour within your purpose.
        To find fulfillment is to discover the reason why we are here.
        We are PURPOSEFULLY MADE.
        A wise man once said; “Success is the fulfillment of purpose”. So DISCOVER and BECOME!

3.    “What you SPEAK is what you SEE”
       As a man speaks, so he sees. Your word either create doors or walls say Mike Murdock.
       Each time you say YOU CAN, you are a step to doing it and whenever you say YOU CAN’T,
     you have already announced your own failure.
       The whole of what happens in your life always agree with your spoken word

4.    “Man was created to live more and not to live less”
       Genesis 1:28; “God blessed man and said to them, “ Be FRUITFUL and INCREASE IN
       NUMBER...”
       Refuse to live a “LESS” life and be all that you can be.
       There are no limitations in our world, it is usually found in the heart of men.

5.    “If you don’t desire the word, you will do with ease the things of the world”
       Two things must happen; Is either you crave for the word or the things of the world get hold of you.
       If you don’t delight yourself in studying the word, you will eventually make the things of the world a
       top priority in your life.
       So, study the word - It builds up, it gives life.
       Seven days without the word of God makes one weak.

6.    “If no success is attached to your story, you are yet to get there”
   The world wants to hear your success story, not just an uninspired story of why you could not make
       it because of what you went through

7.    “Say to yourself who you are and you will control your situation”
   Every word you speak builds up itself to manifest itself.

8.    “For without the discovery of purpose, no man shall find fulfilment”
       We are not here to play!
       We are all sent on a mission, discover why you are sent, discover your track and keep running your
        race.

9.    “I believe in a successful life who has before his success period of failure, setbacks,
        difficulties and a trial of faith”

10. “The ability of God to make things happen depends on the faith of men to see it happen”

11. “When faith is released, the blessings of heaven can’t be withheld”

12. “ Every difficulties a man finds himself in the course of his dream only increases his worth
        and value”

WHAT DO YOU SAY?

2013-05-20T02:33:00.000-07:00

Each time you say YOU CAN, you are a step forward to doing it. And each time you say YOU CAN'T, you have already announced your own defeat. Ten of the tribes the Lord instructed Moses to send to spy the land of Canaan said THEY COULD NOT possess the Land, they did not believe in the reality of God's plan to bring them into the land flowing with all sorts of satisfaction (flowing with milk and honey) because of their choice of words but Caleb and Joshua understood the huge effect of spoken word, they knew what ever they speak is what they will see. So they declared, IT IS POSSIBLE, WE SHALL POSSESS THE LAND and that was the beginning of their victory.

They did not speak what they see, but they spoke what they wanted. You see, many people have missed their promised land, the great things to come because of what they have said. Every word we speak, builds up itself to manifest itself. Mike Murdock once said; " Your word can close doors,... Quicker than God will open.

Bishop Abioye added; "No matter the circumstances in which you find yourself, never call yourself what God did not call you. What you call yourself places limit on you, not what others call you.
Whatever others call you is their opinion, what you call yourself is your actual position."

T.D. Jake's has this to say;

You can speak out light from darkness, prosperity from poverty, pleasure from pains, good health from sickness, benefit from blunders, a message from a mess, and righteousness from sin.

SPEAK LIFE TODAY, SPEAK HOPE EVEN WHEN ALL SEEMS HOPELESS, SPEAK VICTORY EVEN WHEN YOU LOOK DEFEATED, SPEAK SUCCESS...... UPLIFT YOURSELF WITH YOUR WORD. Your WORD is a SEED ...... And every SEED must GERMINATE!!

Remain Blessed!!

SAYING YES TO YOUR DREAM

2013-05-17T02:08:00.001-07:00

Martin Luther King, Jr made the greatest speech of all time that turns around the history of the Unites States of America delivered on August 28, 1963, in which he called for an end to racism in the United States. Delivered to over 250,000 civil rights supporters from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. The speech was a defining moment of the American Civil Rights Movement. About fifty years ago now, we now enjoy the reality of the dream of this great man. Though he was assassinated, but the most important thing is still speaking till now – His dreams.

He added; “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”

Where were you when Martin Luther King, Jr. declared publicly his dream? Of course many of us would still be far from being born then, but today, you can see clearly the reality of the dream. Generations to come will only know you by your dreams you bring to reality in your time today. Remember, your dreams must not center on self. It must glorify God and centers on others.

According to George Hegel that says “Life has a value only when it has something valuable as its object”. Dream is what makes a man up front to start doing something with his life. If there is a man that is not running or aiming at anything in life, such person is yet to have a dream.

Just like fuel is important in a car or generator to start working or moving, so is dream in the life of a man. It is the fuel that keeps a man going.

A life without a dream is a life careless life that does not give a damn about where he ends up. Dream to its possessor has a way of propelling the dreamer to his desired destination. As small as it beginning may be, can g row and expand to become something great when stacked to.

The dream of a man is the power point and the driving force of his life. Many people do not look forward to anything because they lack the power point of life – dream. A dreamless man will always be wanderer in life.

A life without cause is a life without effect. Your dream is what God wants to use to bless others. It is what God want to use to fulfill the dream of others. Dream gives life a meaning. It creates a kind of strength and energy that propels obstacles to give way. Dream gives courage and courage gives action to press on. With your dream alive, the future is bright and attainable.

Just like Joseph the dreamer, dream in the life of its possessor gives an edge over his brethren. It makes its possessor stand tall in the midst of others.

Gen. 37:7

And he (Joseph) dreamed yet another dream and told it to his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and behold the sun and moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me. Gen; 37:9

It is always the beginning of great things to come when a man starts dreaming; Joseph saw something great in his dream;. The sun, moon and the eleven stars symbolizes something special. The sun brightens; dream brightens the life of its possessor. The moon gives light in the night; dream moons its possessor. And the eleven stars; dream beautifies the life of the dreamer.

Without a dream, life becomes boring and stagnant. Dreams makes life worth living, it energizes and inspire the inner man to its full capacity. It changes a man’s approach to life and increases his creative ability.

Every difficulty a man finds himself in the course of his dream only increases his value. Just like Joseph, there is a “coat of many colors” which symbolizes honor in your dream.

Say YES to your God-given dream and say NO to anything that stands as Potiphar’s wife in the way of your dream. A man can do anything if he sticks to it long enough. Like Joseph, any difficulty or unpleasant things that happen in the course of achieving your dream are design to arrange the fulfillment of it. Don’t mind whatever your dream is passing through now. They are only working for its fulfillment. You can make it happen.

Every great, beautiful and well-structured building you see in our world today was first a dirty, unattractive and inhabitable building in the process of his construction. You would not want to live in it why it is still under construction but you would gladly do the moment it is well painted and furnished. So stick to your dream, keep working on it, eventually it will start working for you.

WERE YOU BLESSED?

START NOW!

2013-05-14T09:06:00.001-07:00

Victor Dada added;

Don't be afraid of STARTING.

Nobody becomes a STAR without a START.

Even the word "START" acknowledges that.

Those who don't start remain stagnant.

Every START is pregnant of a "STAR"

The power of finishing well is concealed in STARTING.

You don’t have to have it big to achieve it big. Start with what you have, I mean with that very little in your hand. A wise man once said, “Whatever that starts big is likely to decline” .

You don’t get to the top of the ladder by climbing from the top; you definitely start from the first and lowest rung of the latter. Another wise man added; “You may not have all the resources you need right now, but until you start, all the resources God has provided for you to meet needs or touch lives will not flow. Until you start out, the anointed of God your life will not be activated.”

There is no way you wish to get to the highest part of a staircase by jumping there, you sure definitely going to starts from the lowest stair and all other follows. Nothing happens big without first starting small. It is from the small that amounts to the big. It is usually BIG, BIGGER, and BIGGEST.

One experience that has taught me the importance, advantage and benefits of starting with the little you have is what happened to me personally though it was not something so big, but it has taught me a lot.

I and a friend in my Church agreed and scheduled a time to meet at the Church to make a plank so as to lift up our drum set from the dust and to keep it clean and maintained.

On getting to the Church as planned my friend was not there, I called to know if he was still going to come. He did not give me a definite answer about his coming because he was busy at work. I thought on what to do not to keep it late and I decided to start doing something.

Meanwhile, I only had a tool out of the three tools we needed to use. I started anyway with the one I have (the saw) and cutting some woods to use for both ends. While I was doing that, some members that never knew before if we were aiming to do something of sort joined voluntarily and because I started with what was available, all other tools became available without struggling with their joint effort.

This experience became a great lesson to me and while I was reflecting on it, I drew out some important, advantages and benefits on starting early with the little you have.

What You Must Know

· When you start with what you have without minding how insufficient it look like at first, you are putting your mind and brain to work and raising your hope to see it completed.

Sometimes, you don’t have to have all of what you need to start or complete a project or actualize a dream, God sometimes wants you to just start with what you have so that he will bring others to join and assist you.

You are most likely to finish early by starting with the little in your hands than waiting till you get everything needed.

Jesus was still looking and asking on how to feed thousands of people who has come to hear him. He never waste time or hesitated in using the little he saw (five loaves of bread and two fishes) in the midst of thousands of people. He used the little he saw and God blessed it.

Whatever you have counted as little in your hand, I implore you to start with it. I believe in every big, there are several little’s!

WISDOM FOR YOU

The time of your little is not a time to complain

About what you lack but to work with that little

And see it becoming BIG

KEEP SEEING GREAT THINGS

2013-05-06T02:08:00.000-07:00

Keep seeing great things!

What you see indeed is what comes to you

There are no limitations in our world, it is usually found in the heart of men.

If impossibilities appear in the mind, you see defeat in the physical

We all indeed look, but what we SEE is what actually tells what we believe and get

The difference between the word LOOK and SEE is that, we LOOK with the eye but SEE with the IN-INSIGHT

If you see the “GRASSHOPPER”, you miss the Canaan Land – Num. 13:1-31

David saw victory and Saul sees fear and defeat

You can’t see on the outside the opposite of what you see on the inside

If you see the GOLIATH, you become A SAUL

If you see A DAVID, you will defeat the GOLIATH!

If you can see the glory ahead, you will temporary and progressively bear the cross

Only if you can see the possible will you not see the impossible

If you see the FAMINE, you will not taste of the ABUNDANCE – 2Kings 7:1-2

If you see the great future ahead, you will not taste of the temporal pleasure along the way

The great things you see today, is the benefits you enjoy tomorrow!

Whatever you see is the victory or the defeat you get

Whatever you see is what gives you the ability to accept the possible or the impossible

Two things happen as a result of what you see; FORWARD EVER OR BACKWARD EVER!

Keep seeing great things

Whatever you see on the physical in your life now, is what you have long been seeing in your inner man before!

The world is waiting for the next BIG THING FROM YOU – Dada Victor

HE WHO CARRY THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD….

No one else can ever care for you as Jesus do. He carries the weight of the world upon His shoulder. We live in a world where Christ Himself did not promise us easiness and comfort all through. We live in a world full for evil.

There comes a time in a man’s life when trial times come like a flood. There comes a time that everything seems hopeless and with no one seems to be looking into ones direction. As it is now, so it was several years ago recorded in the book of the law.

The good news is that there is a God who will never leave us nor forsake us. He promised His people of old and we read today the fulfillment of those promises when they encountered trying times and He is ever able to do that to us also because HE WAS, HE IS AND HE’S TO COME.

Nothing exists without his knowledge, nothing can be without his understanding and He only knows what will be in the years to come. He’s God, the maker of the whole universe. His wisdom and understand is too deep for our small mind to know.

Whatever you are going through He knows and He is at the verge of delivering you. Why lose hope when there is a God that can carry you upon His shoulder. He said to Job; “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell me if you understand. Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know. Who stretched a measuring line across it? When I made the clouds, its garment and wrapped it in thick darkness, when I fixed limits for it and sets it doors and bars in place. When I said, this far you may come and no farther”.

He is the sustainer of the whole wide world. Who can question His authority except the person is ready to perish any time soon. He sits gloriously on the throne in heaven and rules the affairs of men on earth. The world we see as something He just made a footstool.

David understands this and He declared “WHO IS LIKE UNTO THEE OH LORD?” Unfortunately for King Nebuchadnezzar, he said he was and the GREAT GOD proved himself to him. King Pharaoh said the same thing and He perished.

Nothing whatsoever hinders whatever He decides to do. At a point He decided to walk upon the water and at another point He revealed Himself through the burning bush. When troubles of life come to you like flood of great water, know that God is already in the midst of it to deliver you.

This is what happens to the Three Hebrews but God was already in the midst of their trouble – the fiery furnace of fire and they were not burnt.

Hear This:

NOTHING EXISTS IN THE BEGINNING WITHOUT HIM SAYING IT INTO EXISTENCE

HE MAKES THE WHOLE UNIVERSE – HE CAN MAKE YOU

HE WILL CARRY YOU BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE CAN

HE’S THE MOST TRUSTWORTHY

HE CARRIED THE THREE HEBREWS AND THEY WERE NOT BURNT

HE CARRIED PAUL AND SILAS AND THEY WERE DELIVERED

HE CARRIED HIS PEOPLE, THE ISRAELITE ALL THROUGH THE RED SEA

TELL ME? WHY CAN’T HE MOVE YOUR SMALL MOUNTAINS WHEN HE CARRIES THE WEIGHT OF THE WHOLE UNIVERSE

It is WELL!!!!

THE PILLAR THAT HOLDS STRONG

2013-04-26T05:13:00.000-07:00

When you see a beautiful and massive building, you notice there are pillars holding it. What makes a building stands is the equal numbers of pillars erected beneath it.

But the question is, why then do we still have news of collapsed building in the world, even here in Nigeria of massive collapse of building if there are pillars beneath erected to hold it?

Though we there were pillars in all of this recent collapse of building, but the truth is that they have their life-spam. There are limits to how long they can stand, sooner or later they are bent to go weak and thereby break and cause what they are suppose to hold to collapse.

But the good news is that there is a PILLAR that holds strong and Christ Jesus is that pillar. There is this popular song that says; “you are the pillar that holds my life……’.

Yes! Jesus is that PILLAR that can hold so very strong as much life as possible that would come to him. If you have ever been to Winners Chapel Headquarter in Ota, Ogun State, you will notice that as massive as the building is, there is no single pillar holding it but there is a PILLAR that holds strong holding from on high and there is no way it can collapse.

While it takes pillars to hold and sustain a building which of course might collapse sooner or later, Jesus the only sure PILLAR that can hold strong lives that are ready and willing to lean on him without any fear of falling or getting weary as long as you are still leaning on Him.

I believe before a building would collapse, two things might be the cause; is either the building itself is weak or the pillars are weak and they could no longer bear the burden of the building. But there is a sure and ever strong pillar in Christ Jesus that can never go weak or weary, even if we as the building are weak, we have

Christ our pillar who is ever sure and he is always there to keep us standing.

Jesus says (in Deut 31:8) that “He will never leave nor forsake thee”. It is a promise that stays long as long as you still allow him to keep holding you.You and I need not to be afraid of what tomorrow will bring. We need not to be afraid of the uncertainties of tomorrow we have created in our mind because of our present state.

Our tomorrow can only be as we want it and even more than we do because there is a sure PILLAR holding it very strong! If God is there for you and I, no circumstances now can change our tomorrow.

Relax Friend!! Your Tomorrow is SECURED!!

Because there is a PILLAR holding it STRONG!

PURPOSE

2013-04-25T02:39:00.001-07:00

The whole creation of man is complete creation of purpose. The importance of every creation of God is the purpose behind them. Every one of us is created on purpose for a purpose – Uma Ukpai.

The discovery of your purpose is the most fulfilling and satisfying discovery in life. Your purpose is your assignment. Discover the flame God has set inside of you and keep it burning. People enjoy your service in the place of your purpose. You can only do good at the place of your purpose.

Nothing God made exists without a particular purpose they are meant to serve, be it living or non-living. The purpose of air condition serves is to cool any environment it is being placed and whenever you find you get to where it is serving its purpose, you don’t want live there. Why? Because it was made for that purpose and its serving it.

Why studying the book of Genesis, I discover that the purpose of the Land is to produce living creatures (Gen. 1:24-25) according to their kinds, wild animals and the likes. The Land was made to produces vegetation, seed – bearing plants and trees. The Land was not just made to be thread upon, but to bring out something. When a man functions at the place of his purpose, he bears fruits and greater work is a must. All of God’s creation ( in the book Genesis) were created on purpose for a purpose.

And God said in (Gen 1); “let’s make man in our own image and let them rule……” The making of man is a making of ruler ship. The best place a fish can enjoy itself is when is in the fish, so also the bird when is in the sky. That’s the way they are made and they do well in it.

THE DISCOVERY OF PURPOSE

Without a reason, the existence is of no value. How many of you know why you are existing? What has God created you to solve? Or are we just adding to the confusion or our family?, confusion of our community? There is no short cut to a life of excellence without a vision. If you live for nothing, you become nothing. Like a friend once said that “Purpose which births vision is the essence of life. Your purpose is greater than you; it existed before you (see Jer. 1:5).

God said to Jeremiah “Before I FORMED YOU IN THE WOMB I KNEW YOU, BEFORE YOU WHERE BORN I SET YOU ASIDE…”

As Rick Warren noted “God was thing of you long ago before you ever thought about him. His purpose for your life predates your conception. He planned you before your existence, without your input! You may choose your career, your spouse, your hobbies and many other part of your life, but you don’t get to choose your purpose”

Jeremiah never knew his purpose until it is revealed to him. Until it is revealed, you are not yet living! The discovery of your purpose (your divine assignment) goes far beyond looking within yourself. You will miss it all wrong doing that. A product is not design to know why it is made of, it is only the maker that can say with no mistake what needs is product is meant to serve or meet. Your mind is too small to discover that.

While meditation the first chapter of the book of Jeremiah, the Lord laid few things on my spirit;

· The discovery of your purpose makes you active – Jer. 1:7

· There is an empowerment and impartation that comes when you have discovered your purpose – Jer.

· The understanding of your purpose makes you see clearly – Jer. 1: 11-13

Just like there is nothing God made that is not purposeful, so also everything man made (i.e. the I-pad, computers, aircraft etc). It takes a life that has discovered his purpose to live a life that counts but it’s quite unfortunate that many are suffering from the effect of purposelessness.

What voice are you? John was the voice crying in the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord…. That was his purpose. It was because of that purpose that the angel announced his birth to Hezekiah, the husband of Elizabeth. You know, people had to come from afar even to the wilderness to hear from John. Why? Because he was at the place of his purpose. Let me quickly say this that your voice can best be heard at the place of your purpose. The discovery of purpose and laboring within it distinguishes you.

You are sent! Discover why and where you are sent to. The real you is in your inner purpose. You must discover your pre-ordained duty to justify your existence. If you truly want to live, you have labour within your purpose.

Knowing God is inevitable to becoming all that you are sent to be. John 15:5 “Without me (God) you can do nothing. Discovering and pursuing in the understanding of your purpose makes you a generational hero. You become a problem solver like Joseph. People always want to hear from you like John the Baptist. Ask from God, Discover yours today and go about doing greater works!
