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.

You Are What Matters Most To Jesus Christ

 "When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty; Walk [habitually] before Me [with integrity, knowing that you are always in My presence], and be blameless and complete [in obedience to Me]" (Genesis 17:1, AMP).        A while back, I overheard a conversation between two young men; both were wondering how a person can be and remain holy in a world that daily encourages you to exhibit and enjoy every self-indulgent pleasure one desires. Of course, they knew the Scripture in Psalm 119:9-11, which describes how a young man can keep his way pure, but they feel it is increasingly becoming difficult to discern the way of the Lord from the world system. To them, many Pastors and children of God have been won over by the kingdom of darkness to subvert the principles of God as written in the Bible.           They were not wrong, in light of some of the teaching coming from the pulpits! The above ...

Finding True Love

         From the beginning of time, God Almighty has sought various means of communicating His thoughts and desires to humanity. Through the very things He has created around us, He clearly reveals His divine nature and our predestined purposes as the object of His love to those who care enough to pay attention.  His goal has always been to set men free from all that limits them from experiencing an abundant life. There is no doubt that the present life as we know it, with all its hurts, pains and heartbreak was never meant to be this way; indeed the enemy has done this.         Friends, if He created the earth with hidden and precious treasures, then how much more you? The enemy, on the other hand, has worked overtime to create things that bind, blind, limit, and ultimately stop us from fulfilling our God-given destinies. His most successful strategies are those which are subtle and appeal to our fleshly desires, just as...

The Perverted Love Of St Valentine's Day

         We live in a world where those who suppress the truth have the loudest voices. They are more persuasive in their arguments because their arguments sound logical and well-reasoned. However, the fact that an argument is loud and logical does not necessarily mean it is the truth. At the same time, the fact that an argument is loud and logical does not mean it is of God. So many claim they do not care where it originates from, but they agree with and have bought into its message. If that is your stance, then you need to hear this because what you believe and have bought into is a lie. Remember, ignorance is not bliss but a dangerous position to occupy as many ‘ignorants’ abound in hell!        The argument for celebrating St. Valentine's Day is loud and sounds logical but it is not the truth, nor is it of God! It is not of God because the love that Jesus Christ portrays carries within it the responsibility of self-sacrifice whilst that o...
