Good Thoughts Comes Back

“But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,” Matthew 5:44 NIV

We often read this with a grain of salt! Why? Because we think that’s too hard, and why should I pray for someone hurting me!

God knows that when we pray for our perceived enemies, we stop hate in its track. On the other hand, the evil sent by the enemy falls upon their own heads.

Someone confessed a while back, every evil thought projected at you manifest in my life, and the good also, so I know I have to think good and pleasant thoughts towards you!

Friends, The Word says whoever digs a pit shall fall into it, whoever roll a stone shall have the stone roll over them – Proverbs 26:27

Should you not start doing good, thinking good and projecting good towards others so that good may come your way consistently?

Father, thank you for your faithfulness towards us, we ask that your Holy Spirit will find expression in our hearts in Jesus name. Amen

Shalom!

Creation Waits

Believe it or not, many are counting on you. If only you knew how many souls you are ordained to touch one!

Mary had to conceive by the Holy Spirit before Elizabeth could bring forth! Read Luke chapter 1

You see, it has been ordained that John will herald our Lord Jesus!

Your walking in your destiny will usher others into theirs!

Pray for grace to do the needful urgently, and persistently.

Shalom!

Just An Affirmation

Monday Affirmation

Sometimes, hmmm, I guess it should be daily, and every time, we must speak tenderly to ourselves. Just as we speak kindly to others, you and I must learn to be kind to ourselves.

Therefore, affirming yourself is healthy. When you develop kindness towards yourself, you most likely will be kind to everyone else!

Our world needs kindness!

Be generously kind to someone today!

Spread grace!

In Touch

Get Intouch With Your Humanity

In our own world, in our own safe space, we tend to lose touch with reality.

The suffering of others we begin to explain away, and gradually, we lose touch with our humanity.

See, you cannot really intercede for me if you are not touched by my infirmity.

Neither can you pray for me if you do not love me.

Find ways to care for someone outside of your immediate family.

I implore you friends to reconnect with your humanity! Look your neighbor in the eyes, and ask how are you, mean it by waiting for the answer!

Let’s find ways to be an extension of love!

Let me know any step you will take in your own little way.

DM me, let’s start the conversation.

Shalom!

He Lives In Hearts!

God’s dwelling place is our hearts

There is a deep yearning in the heart of every being to be one with its maker. We all crave the presence of God, and there is no better place to feel God than in His Word. Dwell in it, and live by it!

His presence is in wherever you are this moment, for God is not in that place or those places, but within you! God dwells not in that made by human hands, God dwells in our hearts. Will you allow the Lord a place in your heart today? Open up your heart and let the Lord come in. Behold He knocks, if anyone opens up for Him, He will come in and sup with him.

Revelation 3:20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.

Acts 7:48“However, the Most High does not live in houses made by human hands. As the prophet says: 49 “‘Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What kind of house will you build for me? says the Lord. Or where will my resting place be? 50 Has not my hand made all these things?’

Acts 17:24 “The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. 25 And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. 

The question then is, is God in your heart?. Many a time we get it wrong, we want to build a house for God, do stuffs for God, while all God want is to be in us and walk with us!

If you are born again, God lives in you by His Holy Spirit. Therefore, worship Him! Worship the Lord in the beauty of His holiness. Acknowledge His presence! Give Him some praise! Hallelujah!

If you do not have a relationship with God or understand what you just read. Please close your eyes and say, Lord Jesus, forgive me my sins, come into my heart and abide with me. Help me Lord to know you and have your way in my heart! It’s that simple! The Holy Spirit will help you. Trust Him!

Thank you Lord for making our hearts your dwelling place. We love you!

Shalom!

Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!! No doubt 2020 came with different kinds of unexpected issues and occurrences, yet we all triumphed and are better for it!

We learnt valuable lessons and are appreciative of the “simple things of life”, for we seem to have found out that those simple things are really the important things in life.

Well, this new year will be somehow different in that we have learnt a new way of being. We will all be just fine!

I am going to practice gratitude in all and every situation believing that God is Sovereign and will send just what He knows I can handle my way – 1 Corinthians 10:13. That is His promise! I believe it! So should you!

My expectation shall not be cut off this much I know! – Proverbs 23:18

Therefore, this new year, I will be looking out for a new kind of glory, honor, favor, joy, peace, contentment, advancement, increase, restoration, victory, goodness, mercy, and much more of all that pertains to life and godliness every waking hour!

Surely God’s goodness and love will follow me and you all the days of our life, and WE will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Psalms 23:6

Practice gratitude more!

Get Some Rest!

Mark 6:31b “come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.”

Jesus sent his disciples out in twos to do exploits. They came back, gathering around Christ Jesus excitedly reporting all they had done and taught.

There were other people coming and going interrupting this meeting that Jesus felt it was good to take them aside to rest.

This says to me that in whatever we are doing, we do need to rest. As Christians, after every exploits which I believe is daily, it will be good to cultivate a time alone with Christ where we unburden, and take up his strength.

This weekend dear reader, find time to unwind, rest, breath deeper, and relax in His presence!

Shalom! Shalom! Shalom!

Recognized!

Jairus, one of the religious leaders recognized the grace and power upon the Carpenter’s Son, a Carpenter himself. Mark 5:22-24

Lord Jesus, let your glory fill our hearts, let your Spirit fill our soul, let US, the vessels you purchased, washed by your blood offer unto you continuously, sacrifices of praise.

Lord, let the religious begin to recognize your power within us. As your disciples Lord, may we be an extension of your love, grace and power.

Shalom! Shalom! Shalom!

The Devil Knows!

Mark 3:11 Whenever the evil spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, “You are the Son of God.”

Friends, this should explain the animosity you get from some quarters. You see, the wicked can perceive the grace of God upon your life. They can see

Christ in you the hope of your glory – Colossians 1:27

and this is not their wish for you, so they will antagonize you.

You wonder why your mere presence causes discomfort? This is why!

You my friend carry the very presence of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

Like my sister said, a good morning to some people is an invitation to find fault with you. This ought not be so if Christ lives within!

Jesus said they, the wicked, the haters of anything good, and Christ-like will hate you and I. John 15:18-27. It is a guarantee. Don’t take it personal my friend, they will never like you and you do not have to care about it. You cannot please these and Christ at the same time. You have to choose who’s side you want to be!

Friends, be wise like a serpent and innocent as doves. Matthew 10:16. Ask for grace to keep your heart free from offenses. Do not stray from the path of righteousness. The Lord Himself watches over you!

Do not forget to pray for your perceived enemies. Matthew 5 :44

Shalom! Shalom! Shalom!
