Be Assured! 1


I had a wonderful chat with a dear friend the other day and I would love to share with you some things that came up in the chat that energized both of us to seek the Lord more. So many times as children of God, the tendency to live in past glories is so alluring that it stops us from seeing the new things God is doing presently in and through us. We believe certain things should work out in a particular order and when it doesn’t, we kick hard at everything and wonder why. For instance a woman that is looking for the blessing of the womb for quite awhile when you tell her the state she is in is actually in the plan of God for her; she gets quite upset wondering why her pain should be God’s plan for her. As children of God that have opened our lives to the Master, no matter what we face, all works towards a perfect goal in the Master to glorify Himself and benefit us. You may disagree with this especially if you are going through some harrowing experiences right now. But God’s word encourages us in Hebrews 10:35 not to lose our confidence as it has a great reward. This suggests that we will come across certain situations that may want us to throw away our confidence. Now, the point being made here is that several times, the Lord comes to us declaring this is the appointed time for change to come in our lives but several will quote back at the Master as Martha did: “the vision is for an appointed time…if it delays wait for it.” The Master has come in the appointed time but we are still walking in the delays. Hey, the Master is here and the time for the fulfillment of what you have been waiting for is NOW! In John 4, the woman by the well submitted honestly and obediently to the Master even when she could not grasp the full context of what the Master was saying. In verse 14, the Lord asked her to call her husband, she was immediately humbled. She didn’t make excuses for her past or present but was concerned about her future starting from that moment. She wanted to know and do the right thing. Friend, let’s forget about the hurts of the past and take our eyes from the confusion of the present and focus solely on Jesus Christ. We cannot allow the enemy to turn our lives into a ping pong ball to be batted round a table. This is the time to arise just like Mary did by shutting ourselves in with the Lord to receive instructions. Be rest assured of one thing that the Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will overshadow you and that which will be birthed of you will be of the Lord. God bless you as you walk in this assurance in Jesus Christ name.

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...

Daily Walk With The LORD

       As we await the imminent return of the LORD Jesus Christ, we enter a time of great exposure and blessing. All that had been hidden will be revealed, all that had been a lie will be exposed, and those who can discern these things and make adjustments to their lives will be greatly blessed in this time!        As the Church Age draws to a close, we see and understand the Scriptures more clearly by the Help of the Holy Spirit, as we see Scriptures literary play out before our eyes. These are the times we must strengthen our resolve to serve Him more dearly and follow Him more closely. Failure to do this is to fall into all manner of errors orchestrated by the devil through his agents to derail as many from the path of righteousness and eternal life in Christ Jesus.         Many strange but carefully crafted teachings are flooding the pulpits and airwaves to distract, confuse and steal the hearts of children of God from...

...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...
