Praising All Your Issues Into Existence!

Matthew 7:7-11, tells us not to be weary in seeking the face of the Lord concerning whatever issues we may be facing. We must ask and keep asking, but not in gloom, grumbling and rebellion. In Matthew 6:33, the Lord tells us to seek His Kingdom first and all other things will be added to us.  The Bible equally tells us in Romans 14:17 that the Kingdom of God is not in eating and drinking but righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. Unfortunately a lot of people live one day to the other, not because of the money they will make or obligations they have to fulfill but because of the weddings, naming ceremonies or programs they have planned which is their source of joy. The issues of life have so weighed so many down that the only way they can make sense of it all is to live immoral lives. The ones that stop to think, pray concerning so many issues but when they do not get answers from the Lord, they murmur, grumble and rebel in their hearts. 

There is an antidote to this my friend, when we praise our Lord Jesus Christ, we open ourselves up to the Lord to speak to us concerning His purpose and will for our lives and the issues we are seeking His Face for. The fact that we are yet to receive what we have asked of the Lord does not mean the Lord said 'No'. If we allow the enemy to beat us down with this, we end up bogged down with grumbling, complaining, murmuring and eventually rebelling against the Lord. Job said in Job 13:15-16, even if the Lord kills Him, he will yet hope in Him because this will result in his deliverance. What are you facing right now that has weighed you down and you are losing hope, such that the only solace you have is in temporal things of the world? Friend, all the Lord needs from us is for us to go on praising Him. Praising all the issues into existence! In other words seeking God's Kingdom first and His blessings will be released upon us.

Not just praising when we feel good or at particular occasions but praising whether we see results coming or not - Psalm 149. Thus, living a life of praise. This activates our blessings, releasing the marvelous light of God which brings joy, rejoicing to those who believe and condemnation to those who do not. When you start praising according to Psalm 68:1, Heaven reacts and starts moving in your favor. Psalm 22:3 tells us that He dwells in our praises. Friend, that is where you will find Him, not in gloom, 'pity me prayers', murmuring, grumbling and condemnation. The blessings and miracles you are looking for, praise will bring them in!

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,...
