The Call Of God


Listen! The Lord is with you when you are with Him. If you seek Him, He will be found by you, but if you abandon Him, He will abandon you (2Chronicles 15:2). This is a solemn word of God! He means it and He shows no favoritism. So many have used the decay of the society they live, school or work in as an excuse not to seek God. In Genesis 6 we saw a similar scenario play out: sons of God started mingling with the daughters of men such that they started giving birth to children that were half breeds. This was the generation of Noah; they grieved God so much that He regretted creating man. Despite this prevalent evil, the Lord found Noah to be faithful and righteous. Noah not only lived in that generation, he had a family and a job. These did not deter him from seeking God and serving Him. God found him out on the whole earth as a righteous man. Then God called him and told him about His plans to destroy the earth and the provisions He had made for Noah to save himself and his household. Can we pause and ask ourselves this question: ‘in this generation where God is seeking for those who will worship Him in truth and in Spirit, will I be counted or sought out as a righteous man?’ ‘Are my ways the same as that of the world around me and if a destruction were to come now, will I also be destroyed with them?’ There is a need to search our hearts because God shows no favoritism. We must be approved by the standard of Heaven not the standard of the Church or our Pastors. There is a search in the heart of God for men He will send to a world that is gradually spiraling out of control. Will you say like Isaiah ‘here I am send me’? The Lord is assuring us in 2Chronicles 15:7 not to be discouraged or dismayed by the things we see or experience in obeying Him because our work with Him will be rewarded. Will you heed this call?

An Answer To Almighty God's Question

 "So I said: “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The Lord of hosts.” Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar. And he touched my mouth with it, and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; Your iniquity is taken away, And your sin purged.” Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me” (Isaiah 6:5-8).         As the Coming of the LORD draws ever closer, there is an increase in dryness, apathy and preoccupation with the world and its treasures in the hearts and minds of many children of God. Looking around our Nation (Nigeria), one would realise that things are not as they should be. The realities on the ground give the impression that the institutions that ought to regulate the lives of the citizen...

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...

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...
