Be Encouraged!


Are you waiting on the Lord concerning a particular issue and your faith is beginning to falter? Or you are in a terrible condition that looks as if there is no way out?  Do not give up, for we have a compassionate Father that is concerned with the minutest things that concerns us. A man in a terrible condition met with the Master in Luke 5:12-15. The Bible says when he met the Lord, he fell face down and begged Him. The moving statement he made was “if you are willing, You can make me clean”. This poignant statement points to the fact that this man may have lost everything as a result of this ailment. He must have been a well respected member of the community with a wonderful family and a thriving business. But due to his leprous condition, he was termed unclean and became an outcast. Everything he ever loved and held dear was taken from him. He had gotten to the end of his strength. Praise God that he encountered the Lord that faithful day and did not stand aloof. He did not care what men had called him, or the constraints this terrible ailment had placed on him, he went ahead and approached the Master. The Bible says he fell at the Master’s feet, signifying that he had no more strength to go on. Jesus Christ had great compassion for him and declared He was willing, reached out His hand and healed him. 

Same condition faced the children of Israel in Exodus 12. They had been in the land of Egypt for 430 years in terrible and agonizing conditions. By the time we got to verse 35 and 36, the Bible tells us that the children of Israel spoiled Egypt! How? In one day, all that the children of Israel had lost for 430 years was recovered and the enemy handed it over willingly at that! Your one day to plunder the enemy’s camp for all that had been stolen or taken away forcefully has come. No matter the situation or condition we find ourselves, the day had come for all to be restored in Jesus Christ Name. One thing the Lord is asking us to do however, according to Isaiah 35:3-4 is for us to strengthen our weak hands and steady our shaking knees. He said, we must be strong and not entertain fear no matter what is been thrown at us. He is coming with vengeance; bringing retribution upon all those that have risen up against us. Friend, do not fear or doubt the power of God to save you. The Bible tells us in Psalm 91:1 in the Amplified Version that we must remain stable and fixed in Him. He that promised will not delay, wait for Him, He is near! God bless 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,...
