Indeed Called!


Several people are disillusioned with their walk with the Lord. They believe He does not answer their prayers no matter how much effort they put in by praying, fasting and giving. After awhile they begin to question if God actually called them. Unfortunately, their local assemblies seem not to understand their plight, since they are born again they believe they should be alright. Someone once said that so many servants of God have changed the Scripture that says we should go and make disciples of men, what they are making are believers. Just get them ‘born again’; what they do thereafter is not much of their concern! When these new converts come into the fold they are unable to connect with the God they have been introduced to. The basic elementary teachings of God they are not taught yet they are made to handle units they are ill-equipped for whilst slowly decaying and dying on the inside. Those that remain try to play along for awhile whilst others return into the world worse off. If you are in such a situation please read this prayerfully and the Lord will expand it in you. In Esther 2:15, we saw the young virgin Esther humbly rely completely on Hegai’s the king’s eunuch’s suggestions. She understood that she cannot win the king’s approval if she doesn’t know what he likes. He taught her what the king desires; because she listened and obeyed the teachings she won the approval of the king and all that saw her. She had been earlier uprooted from everything familiar, she now has to operate in an environment where the customs, language, dressing, thinking is all different. The king’s eunuch like the Holy Spirit had been positioned to help these young virgins prepare for their one night with the king that will either lead them into an exalted position in the Palace or be kept in the harem – a holding area for those that would have been ‘queen’. This is exactly how we are when we come into the Kingdom of God. The Holy Spirit is positioned to teach us how to please and delight our Master. Jesus said in John 16:13a (TMSG): “But when the Friend comes, the Spirit of Truth, he will take you by the hand and guide you into all the truth there is…” The Bible says Esther relied completely on the advice of Hegai and she was chosen at the end of the day to be Queen. Friend, the reason for your disillusionment and unfulfilment in your service is not whether if God called you or not; He did, but you are yet to submit totally under His tutelage. In His class you cannot have your own agenda or principles: it is His way all the way! Have you not asked yourself “how can I please the King of kings when I don’t know what He loves.’? The Only One that can teach you is the One that had always being with Him from the very beginning and is still with Him. Spend time with Him and get to know Him, you will be pleasantly surprised. He is INDEED the friend that sticks closer than a brother. Desire to know Him and you will in Jesus Christ name because you are INDEED CALLED! 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,...
