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...

Are You A True Disciple? Part 1

       This decade opened with very dire straits for mankind, as many people around the world woke up to a world that stood still as each nation shut their borders, homes and institutions shutting their doors. If many had been told this scenario could happen a couple of decades ago, one would say it was crazily impossible. But it did happen! Many lives and livelihoods were destroyed, and many institutions and lifestyles, including the Church, were affected. As terrible as the times were and still are, it is exposing the hearts and state of many 'sons of God'!         Many wondered aloud, 'What does the devil want for causing all this havoc?' And some went further to ask, 'What does God want?' The answer to both questions is 'Man' (male and female)! It is a battle between the Kingdom of God and darkness for the soul of man. As a result, man is being prepared both by God and the devil for eternity with either!         ...

It Is Time To Raise A Cry For Nigeria!

  "The voice said, “Cry out!” And he said, “What shall I cry?” “All flesh is grass, And all its loveliness is like the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower fades, Because the breath of the Lord blows upon it; Surely the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever” (Isaiah 40:6-8).         Listening to a brother detailing how Nigeria will be great again because it was foretold decades ago, I quieted down in my spirit to listen to him. According to him, the prophecies of old say that Nigeria will become a beacon of God's light to the rest of the world as they carry His Word to the rest of the world, especially in Africa. He enumerated the many qualities of Nigeria, especially the spiritual significance of her position within the continent of Africa. She will be used by God to trigger the last move of revival in the last days, he continued.         I listened attentively,...
