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!

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 Journey Of A True Disciple

       These indeed are stressful times, especially for a Disciple who intends to live in the purity of God's Word. The journey of a Christian is often marked by wilderness seasons and life’s storms—challenging times that test, train, and ultimately transform the Christian into a true Disciple of Christ. Throughout Scripture, these experiences are not seen as punishments but as divine opportunities to grow in faith, deepen trust, and draw closer to God. When one is going through these experiences, it is likened to a wilderness experience, filled with disappointments, sometimes betrayal, lack and the like.         In this guise, the wilderness experience is not merely a barren or lonely place; it is a sacred space where God refines His children. It is in the wilderness that dependence on God is forged, and distractions are stripped away. The children of Israel journeyed through the wilderness experience. The voice of John the Baptist rang out ...

...And His Name Was Nabal

       We live in a world that has short-term memory. The memory life span of many is so short, that mistakes and circumstances that brought them sorrow are repeated without a thought to the fact that what they are doing they had done before with dire consequences. As a result of this attitude, many have grown more wilful towards the things of God. One of the signs of the end time, according to 2 Timothy 3, is people being ungrateful. Being ungrateful means not showing gratitude for help, gifts or kindness they received; a feeling of entitlement to whatever they think they have received.         Being ungrateful is a state of mind that believes that the good things that happen to them is deserving, and they do not see any reason to be thankful for them. So was the case of a man named Nabal (which means 'Fool') in the Bible. He was a harsh and evil man in his dealings, yet a very wealthy man in the region he lived in. From the account of his l...
