Re-Direct

That you love the Lord no one can dispute that. You have tried and are trying to please the Lord but you seemed worn out and you know something is missing because you are not meant to be worn out serving God. Have you stopped to think you might be trying to serve Him based on your own strength? It is time to let go and enjoy Him by serving Him on His own terms and conditions. Friend as you do this, the blessings of serving Him is released and evidenced in your life. Psalm 84:5-7 says “Happy are the people whose strength is in You, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage. As they pass through the valley of Baca, they make it a source of spring water; even the autumn rain will cover it with blessings. They go from strength to strength; each appears before God in Zion.” This Scripture points out to us that on a daily basis we are supposed to grow in our knowledge and devotion to the Lord. As we do this, His strength is released to us to excel in every sphere of our lives. Unfortunately, the world is equally committed to making sure we don’t live like this. The Bible says a man who is devoted to seeking God out on a daily basis is blessed and his strength is in the Lord. Let’s back up a little bit! The enemy cannot have a hold on us if he does not have a legal ground to operate around us. Friend, what exactly is your goal on a daily basis? No matter how much we pursue the comforts of this world, we must not let our hearts drift from the most important issue, which is the pursuit of the knowledge of God with a devoted heart: a heart set on a pilgrimage to seek Him daily. You might argue that we are plagued on every side not to live this holy, pristine or devoted life to the Lord; in fact you may ask: who can? The truth is the world and its god are not interested in your growth and welfare; all it seeks to do is to corrupt, contaminate your walk with the Lord as much as it can. And if possible, cut you short from the standard of God! But a heart that trusts wholly in God for strength, the Bible says walks through dry and parched lands and they will become source of spring waters; even the autumn rains will cover it with blessings. This simply means those places and areas of your life that had been a source of pain, weeping and frustration, the Lord says will become places of refreshing. Blessings that you felt were late or forgotten the Lord will cause these same blessings to rain and fill you, such that you will indeed be blessed on every side. Friend, that which is causing you so much pain yet you are serving the Lord will become a source of joy in Jesus Christ Name. However, there must be an eagerness in your heart to know Him, not because of what you will get but the pleasure and joy you will derive from knowing Him! Indeed: "Taste and see that the Lord is good. How happy is the man who takes refuge in Him." Psalm 34:8. God bless you!

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...
