Who Do You See?

When faced with challenges or experiences that are beyond you, who do you see? Who you see determines your reaction to the situations. As a child of God, the Lord said the Spirit He has given us is not for us to become slaves of fear again. He has given us His Spirit, which equally bears witness with our spirit that we are sons of God. If you do not see this then there is a problem with your vision and you will always react wrong! Take a cue from Elijah, he was standing before an earthly king that was determined to kill him, but he saw only the Lord; that was why he was bold to tell the earthly king, he was standing before the Living God. The king feared and respected him for this. This takes boldness and knowledge of who you are and the stuff you are made of. Once we grasp hold of this knowledge, we become dangerous to the kingdom of darkness. We were not purchased by the Blood of Christ to be cowards that flinch at every sign of trouble. We are to take the fight to the gates, stand our ground before the mountains of this world and command them to move. 

The Lord is very particular about what we see, because what we see determines how we see Him and how far we will go with Him. The Lord asked Jeremiah what he saw, when he answered correctly; the Lord replied that He was watching to bring His word to pass. The Bible tells us in Psalm 16:5-6 that the Lord is our portion, our prize. Once we internalize this, we can stand and be bold like the men in Hebrews 11:13-15. These men were not carried away with the physical things they saw but were looking forward to a heavenly city whose architect and builder is God. God was so pleased with them that He surname them God.You do not surname bastards or someone you met on the streets. He adopted us and made us His very own. No wonder the Lord has challenged the kingdom of darkness concerning us: which of them can bring an accusation against the chosen ones of God, for God Himself is the One that made us His own! Friend, it does not matter what the enemy is showing, whispering or yelling, don't see him by giving attention to him. If you give attention to him, he has won. Take your eyes off him and focus on your Father, Jesus Christ because you carry His very nature. They bowed (challenges and experiences) to Him they must surely bow to you too!

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,...
