Transformation – Growth, Unseen, unproving? Trust!

When it seems nothing is happening, no physical evidence of the result of all the effort you have put into a worthy course, friends, do not be weary in doing what is right.

You may have been a subject of ridicule or what not. Recipient of jeers, snide remarks, and questions which you have no answer for.

Remember that the world will always ask you for a sign, something they can see, touch and taste, (though they cannot see that which stares them in the face).

Stay rooted and committed to your transformation, for at the appointed time you will spring up, a mighty tree to give shade to many, God’s battleaxe, a royal diadem adorned with the radiant glory of the Most High God.

Rejoice in your transformation! It is life long my friend! From glory to glory unto a perfect day!

Shalom! Shalom! Shalom!

Focus On The Big Picture

Isaiah 56:4 For this is what the Lord says: “To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths, who choose what pleases me and hold fast to my covenants  – 5 to them I will give within my temple and its walls a memorial and a name better than sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name that will endure forever.

The Lord is saying to you friends, that no matter the situation and circumstances of your life, as long as you believe in Christ Jesus and live in obedience to His will, precept upon precept, He himself, The Most High God will give you a name that will endure forever. Isn’t that something? You should be encouraged to stay focused on winning the war over your life and destiny, overlooking these small battles – the distractions that plagues your path – the cares of life!

The Lord is able that promised. Genesis 45:20 “Never mind about your belongings, because the best of all Egypt will be yours.” What are those things you are holding unto? Your pride? Ego? Pain? Hurt? Rejection? Achievement? Successes? Failures? Talents? Giftings? Whatever “belongings” means to you. Leave it behind as you walk towards the price that is set before you. 

Please stay focused on the big picture! Distraction are bound to come in many ways from unexpected places, battles here and there bombarding you, stay afloat my friend. God is bringing you out to a spacious place. He goes before you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory- Deuteronomy 1:30.

Shalom! Shalom! Shalom!

Be Faithful! Even Little Faith!

Revelations 3:7 …….These things says He who is holy, He who is true, “He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens”; 

8 “I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name.

9 Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie—indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.

10 Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.

11 Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown.

12 He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name.

13 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”’

Formidable Alliance! Holy Spirit!

2 Kings 3: 4 Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheep breeder, and he regularly paid the king of Israel one hundred thousand lambs and the wool of one hundred thousand rams. 5 But it happened, when Ahab died, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.6 So King Jehoram went out of Samaria at that time and mustered all Israel. 7 Then he went and sent to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, saying, “The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me to fight against Moab?”

c5d162ab-274a-484f-984f-d504698c0af1When what is yours, that which rightfully belongs to you is taken away from you or denied you by whatever means. You have to forge an alliance with the Holy Spirit and inquire of the Lord. He knows the mind of God and will help you to seek God’s face appropriately for direction in getting back what belongs to you. An alliance through the Holy Spirit will connect you to a favourably positioned individual, group, cooperation and make you favourably disposed to receive help. Elisha favoured Jehoram because of Jehoshaphat as in 2 Kings 3:14 And Elisha said, “As the Lord of hosts lives, before whom I stand, surely were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, I would not look at you, nor see you.

May the Holy Spirit, the formidable alliance not depart from you in Jesus mighty name. May the shield of favor, kindness and grace envelop you, and may help locate you at the right time for the fulfillment of God’s divine plan for your life. May you be carrier of favor that others will seek out for alliance in Jesus might name. Amen.

Shalom

Lean On God

psalm33_20_22John 2:24-25  But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all people. 25 He did not need any testimony about mankind, for he knew what was in each person.NIV

John 2:24-25 But Jesus did not commit Himself to them, because He knew all men, 25 and had no need that anyone should testify of man, for He knew what was in man.NKJV

John 2:24-25  But Jesus didn’t entrust his life to them. He knew them inside and out, knew how untrustworthy they were. He didn’t need any help in seeing right through them. MSG

Friends, this is a new dawn, a new season of your life in the fulfillment of God’s divine purpose for your life. God is about to do a new thing, you are about to walk into that which the Lord prepared in advance for you to do.

Scripture is about to be fulfilled in your life before your very eyes. Do not lose focus at this critical time. Seek the Lord with all your heart, soul, and body. Do not lean on your own understanding, rather commit all your ways unto the Lord.

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. 7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. 8 This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones. Do not lean on the arm of flesh for it will fail you.

Jeremiah 17:5-10

 This is what the Lord says:

“Cursed is the one who trusts in man,
    who draws strength from mere flesh
    and whose heart turns away from the Lord.
6 That person will be like a bush in the wastelands;
    they will not see prosperity when it comes.
They will dwell in the parched places of the desert,
    in a salt land where no one lives.

7 “But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,
    whose confidence is in him.
8 They will be like a tree planted by the water
    that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
    its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought
    and never fails to bear fruit.”

9 The heart is deceitful above all things
    and beyond cure.
    Who can understand it?

10 “I the Lord search the heart
    and examine the mind,
to reward each person according to their conduct,
    according to what their deeds deserve.”

Precious Is The Blood of Jesus!!

I find myself frequently depressed – perhaps more so than any other person here.

I don’t know about you friends, but I find myself in the same spot Charles Spurgeon found himself when he wrote this timeless piece. I was born with a sin nature and lived thus for a while until Jesus Christ found me like He did many, like Charles Spurgeon and apostle Paul, who called himself ” the chief of sinners”.

You see, my sins does not depress me for I have been crucified with Christ Jesus at my second birth, nevertheless I live, yet not I that lives, but Christ liveth in me, for the life that I live now, I live by faith in the Son of God, my redeemer, my substitute,ransom and deliver, who loves me enough to give himself for me. Galatians 2:20.

As a result Satan has nothing against me, for the blood of Jesus is always speaking on my behalf and for me. revealing secrets to His anointed as He did in the days of Prophet Elijah. There are those though, that wants to hold you and I captive by whatever standard, rules and regulations made up by man and not of God to keep in perpetual bondage, those whom the blood of Jesus has set free. Refuse folks! Stand tall in the capability of the shed blood of Jesus Christ that has been giving you victory over every obstacles that has been thrown at you.

1 Timothy 112 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has enabled me, because He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry, 13 although I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an insolent man; but I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. 14 And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. 15 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief. 16 However, for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all longsuffering, as a pattern to those who are going to believe on Him for everlasting life. 17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

The blood of Jesus gives us access to the miraculous, signs and wonders, revealing secrets about the schemes and wiles of evil, to His anointed as He did in the days of Prophet Elijah. The blood of Jesus Christ shed on Calvary’s tree gives every believer access to the miraculous each time we use it in faith. It causes confusion in the kingdom of darkness, disappointing the devices of the crafty, empowers us to be courageous to stand with God in the face of diverse opposition.

Do you want eternal life? Come to Jesus today for the salvation of your soul. Let the blood begin to speak for you, empower you, protect, shield, transform and renew your mind daily. Jesus Christ is Lord! Put all your trust and hope in The Word! He will not fail you.
