Who Do You See?

-
When faced with challenges or experiences that are beyond you, who do you see? Who you see determines your reaction to the situations. As a child of God, the Lord said the Spirit He has given us is not for us to become slaves of fear again. He has given us His Spirit, which equally bears witness with our spirit that we are sons of God. If you do not see this then there is a problem with your vision and you will always react wrong! Take a cue from Elijah, he was standing before an earthly king that was determined to kill him, but he saw only the Lord; that was why he was bold to tell the earthly king, he was standing before the Living God. The king feared and respected him for this. This takes boldness and knowledge of who you are and the stuff you are made of. Once we grasp hold of this knowledge, we become dangerous to the kingdom of darkness. We were not purchased by the Blood of Christ to be cowards that flinch at every sign of trouble. We are to take the fight to the gates, stand our ground before the mountains of this world and command them to move. 

The Lord is very particular about what we see, because what we see determines how we see Him and how far we will go with Him. The Lord asked Jeremiah what he saw, when he answered correctly; the Lord replied that He was watching to bring His word to pass. The Bible tells us in Psalm 16:5-6 that the Lord is our portion, our prize. Once we internalize this, we can stand and be bold like the men in Hebrews 11:13-15. These men were not carried away with the physical things they saw but were looking forward to a heavenly city whose architect and builder is God. God was so pleased with them that He surname them God.You do not surname bastards or someone you met on the streets. He adopted us and made us His very own. No wonder the Lord has challenged the kingdom of darkness concerning us: which of them can bring an accusation against the chosen ones of God, for God Himself is the One that made us His own! Friend, it does not matter what the enemy is showing, whispering or yelling, don't see him by giving attention to him. If you give attention to him, he has won. Take your eyes off him and focus on your Father, Jesus Christ because you carry His very nature. They bowed (challenges and experiences) to Him they must surely bow to you too!

The Quarry Site Experience

-
Have you ever visited a quarry site and considered the process the rocks are subjected to before they become dressed stones to be used? If the stones could talk they will have a story to tell about their experiences.  As children of God we go through diverse experiences and we wonder if we will indeed survive them. Sometimes we wonder why our gracious and compassionate Father would allow such to befall us considering who we are in Him and what we are doing in His vineyard.  The Scripture that should readily come to our minds in such circumstances is God’s assurance when He said: “I will be with you when you pass through the waters, and when you pass through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. You will not be scorched when you walk through the fire and the flame will not burn you ” (Isaiah 43:2). This Scripture assures us that through the experiences of flames and waters, God is always by our side to see us through.  Thus, it is necessary for us to go through them so that we m

Clean House!

Many things had happened in the life of Abram. He had gone to war to save his nephew caught in a war between several nations. Against all odds, Abram with his 318 trained men born in his household, successfully pursued the armies of four kingdoms and defeated them. This feat could only have been possible with the help of God. Abram acknowledged this by giving a tenth of the spoils to Melchizedek, the king of Salem. "After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not be afraid, Abram, I am your shield; Your reward [for obedience] shall be very great" (Genesis 15:1, AMP).    In the previous chapter, we saw Abram refuse the overtures of the king of Sodom to share in the spoils of war. The way Abram puts it was quite enlightening. He said: "But Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have raised my hand and sworn an oath to the Lord God Most High, the Creator and Possessor of heaven and earth, that I would not take anything that is yours, fr

Beware Of The Choice Table

-
       The book of Daniel opens with the account of God handing over the king of Judah, her people, and her treasures to the king of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar. Those first two verses in the first chapter of Daniel were quite frightening; imagine being handed over to your enemy to be enslaved and or probably killed. Why would God do this to His beloved people? 'Where is His mercy', many cry out today when they read these and many more Scriptures like that. Why would God send His people into slavery and suffering, many yell today, especially in the face of current happenings around the world or in their personal lives.         Those that say such are yet to understand the extent of His mercy and love. In His mercy, He gives His people a chance to repent and return to Him because He is holy; and those that must worship Him must do so in holiness. In His love, to experience that life outside of Him is empty and filled with darkness devoid of any form of light. His love brings light i
