Let God Use You

The lyrics of a popular chorus goes: "If You can use anything, Lord use me." An awesome thought indeed. I believe the composer of the song must have been thinking about Balaam's donkey. So many have decried their positions in life wondering what they could do or not do if they were in a 'better' position. There is no child of God that is in the position that he is by mistake except such fell into sin and decided to hide away from God like Adam and the woman. Every child of God is exactly where God have placed him for some purpose (Psalm 68:6). The first thing for that person to do is to inquire for what practical purpose has God placed him where he is now. You have been wishing for another position, where you could do something for Jesus; do not wish anything of the kind but serve Him exactly where you are!

Do not think that the Lord has given you an exalted position either in the Church/Fellowship, secular industry or family so you may escape the trials which belong to the 'people that are down there'. Yours is no position of ease, but one of the hottest parts of the battle. Know that your position in Christ is to help others especially those of the family of believers. How have you helped them? We all have been called to intercede for one another, unfortunately, the Body of Christ is riddled with accusers instead of intercessors. If they are not accusing, the prayers are filled with 'me, myself and I'. Men have resorted to build empires and kingdoms round themselves and families and neglect the weightier issues. Like the Pharisees, they take out the minor and swallow the major. No wonder homes and lives are in such catastrophic states!

In Esther chapter 4, she did not sit still for the deliverance of her people to come from 'some place'. She reckoned that for her to be where she is there is a divine purpose that supercedes the physical. She did not say the Lord will sort out the problems after all they are a chosen race. Rather she pleaded with God, entered with boldness and a lot of risks into the presence of the king. Because she went in the wisdom of God she was able to act wisely on behalf of her people. How have you fought on behalf of your Organisation, schools, Church/Fellowships, Nation or even family? Once it does not concern you or 'add value' to you, it is not your business! Some say: 'I dont have money they should go and make a better use of their lives. Besides, if it is God, He should help them'. Friend, YOU are the help!!!  The reason you are finding it difficult to part with the physical help is because your heart has refused to respond.

Rise up my Brothers and Sisters!! Remember, the eyes of the Lord is going to and fro the land, looking for a man on whose behalf He will show Himself strong. His eyes have alighted on you, allow Him to use you.

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 the...

Daily Walk With The LORD

       As we await the imminent return of the LORD Jesus Christ, we enter a time of great exposure and blessing. All that had been hidden will be revealed, all that had been a lie will be exposed, and those who can discern these things and make adjustments to their lives will be greatly blessed in this time!        As the Church Age draws to a close, we see and understand the Scriptures more clearly by the Help of the Holy Spirit, as we see Scriptures literary play out before our eyes. These are the times we must strengthen our resolve to serve Him more dearly and follow Him more closely. Failure to do this is to fall into all manner of errors orchestrated by the devil through his agents to derail as many from the path of righteousness and eternal life in Christ Jesus.         Many strange but carefully crafted teachings are flooding the pulpits and airwaves to distract, confuse and steal the hearts of children of God from...

But You Did Not Learn Christ In This Way

       I remember meeting a man of God in his office after the Sunday Services in his Church. I, like many others that day needed a few minutes with him. I was there at the instruction of the LORD to deliver a message. As we were talking, one of his Church workers came in and gave him a note. His face lit up, and he was very excited. I saw that there were sets of numbers written. I thought the numbers represented those who gave their lives to Christ, because many came out during the Altar Call to give and rededicate their lives to the LORD Jesus Christ. No! Apparently, they represent the number of people in attendance at each of the three services with the corresponding money collections realised.         They were not concerned about the souls that came out hungry for God! I was saddened by their excitement. They were not excited about the souls that came into the Kingdom of God; rather, they were rejoicing about their egos, ranks and bank a...
