What are you created for?

Image
You were created in a peculiar way for a particular purpose, don't allow criticism tamper with your core.  Criticism can either be negative or constructive. To profit from criticism, you need an understanding of your peculiarity and discernment of the type of criticism you are receiving.  1 Peter 2:9(NIV) But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. You must know that you are; 1. Chosen for a unique assignment 2. You are a priest in your capacity 3. Like Abraham, you are created to birth holy seeds that will produce a holy Nation. 4. You are God's special breed; with a different model to others. 5. Your existence should bring praise to God An understanding of your identity and uniqueness will help you run your own race devoid of competition There’s a saying out there that "every mallam with im...

ABSOLUTE TRUST IN GOD

Image
Don’t let the limiting state of your mind fathom how God will bring it to pass. Bishop Oyedepo once said "God does not speak according to your limitations but according to his capacity to perform". Remember the story of the man upon whose hands the king leaned on in 2 Kings 7:1-20. Elisha announced that by this time tomorrow, God will make a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel. The amount sounded unthinkable. This man was probably like most of us today with fancy financial degrees from Harvard business school or Cambridge. He exclaimed "if the LORD would make windows in heaven, might this thing be?" 1 kings 7:2b He questioned the right word. Job 6:25a Scripture goes further to state that "God shames the wise with foolish things" 1 Cor 1:27 Truth is, God does not need your intelligence to cause a change in your life.... whatever he has purposed will definitely come to pass. This, however...

DO NOT GIVE UP

Are you down with life challenges Don't give up, God has not brought you this far to abandon you. What you go through in life does not define your destination. God has a plan and a purpose for you. He said in Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, Says the Lord, Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future. Don't give up at the edge, you are closer to your breakthrough Remember God's word will no return void Everything he has said concerning you will come to pass Hold on my brother and my sister Remember his word towards you In First Peter 5:10 After you have suffered for a little while, The God of all grace, Who has called you to His eternal glory in Christ Jesus Will Himself perfect all that concerns you Confirm all that concerns you Strengthen you in all areas of your weakness and establishes you. IT IS A NEW DAY FOR YOU.

LIGHT IS LIFE

Light is sweet  Light is beautiful Light is Life The quality of our life depends on the quality of light we access. Light birth understanding. Light liberates Light destroys doubts  Light dispels un-believe Light is Life Our continuous toiling on earth is at the absence of light ~JESUS CHRIST~ Jesus said I AM the LIGHT...... Remember God created light for both the day and the night in the beginning. When the sun rises it warms, illuminate, and provide growth on earth in the day time. While the moon and stars light up the earth at night. The first thing that comes to our mind when we enter a dark room is to turn on the light switch and the entire room is illuminated. When we receive Jesus into our life’s.... he lights up our life.... This Light permeates every crack and crevice of our lives and beings and gives us a new identity and direction. In Psalm 119:130, the Bible says; ....The entrance of His word gives light; it...

Let go and let God

LET GOD COMFORT YOU "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trouble, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God." ( 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 ) NIV Grief fills the life's of people who feel they have lost a family member to a life-controlling problem. That loss often bring on depression, a state that can be serious. This can be a time of hopelessness and deep emotional pain. People going through depression need hope. They also need help in understanding their feelings. Sharing painful emotions can help work through this depression stage. The Bible tells us that God comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others who are hurting. Consider this ... If you are going through this kind of struggle, consider talking to a trusted friend. Be honest about your feelings. Allow God to comfort you....

Food for thought!

A king had ten wild dogs. He used them to torture and eat any of his servants who made a mistake. One of the servants gave an opinion which was wrong, and the king didn’t like it at all. So he ordered that the servant be thrown to the dogs. The servant said, “I served you for ten years, and you do this to me? Please give me ten days before throwing me to those dogs!” The king agreed. In those ten days, the servant went to the guard who looks after the dogs and told him he would like to serve the dogs for the next ten days. The guard was baffled but agreed, and the servant started feeding the dogs, cleaning for them, bathing them, and providing all sorts of comfort for them. When the ten days were over, the king ordered that the servant be thrown to the dogs for his punishment. When he was thrown in, we were all amazed to see the ravenous dogs only licking the feet of the servant! The king, baffled at what he was seeing, said, ”What has happened to my dogs?” The servant rep...

The Force Of Obedience

Abraham left the comfort and security of Ur to obey the call of God. Without hesitation, he "obeyed and went." He is known for this immediate step of obedience. Abraham's spiritual experience was marked by four difficult steps of obedience that showed the strength of his trust in God: He left his country and family (Genesis 12:1). He broke up with his nephew Lot, offering Lot his choice of land (Genesis 13:1-18). He changed his focus from Ishmael to Isaac for the center of God's promise (Genesis 17:17-18). He was willing to offer up Isaac, his only son (Genesis 22:1-19). Abraham did not choose the easy way in these situations-because of his faith in God, he chose God's way and obeyed him, even when obedience was difficult. His faith is an example for all of us. Paul uses Abraham as the central theme in Romans 4 concerning justification by faith and describes him as "the father of all who believe" (Romans 4:11). Abraham was God's friend (Jame...
