Be Assured! 2


When times of testing comes so many doubt the word of God, by questioning the veracity of what they had heard because they had prayed and the challenge refuses to budge. The Bible tells us in Hebrews 3:7-8 (AMP) “Therefore as the Holy Spirit says: Today, if you will hear His voice do not harden your hearts as [happened] in the rebellion [of Israel] and their provocation and embitterment [of Me] in the day of testing in the wilderness…” the Bible says the children of Israel were embittered against the Lord because they felt what they got was not what He promised them. You might be feeling same, thinking what you are going through you did not deserve especially if you had been in that situation for awhile. Let’s back track a bit and hear what the Lord says in Matthew 11:28-29 “Come to Me, all of you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest. All of you take up My yoke and learn from Me, because I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for yourselves.” God expects us to bring all our burdens and lay them at His feet and then we must ‘learn from Him’. What are we to learn from Him in this circumstance? The answer is found in Matthew 6:33 (AMP) “But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His Kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right) and then all these things taken together will be given you besides.” What the Lord is simply telling us is to seek – search out His instructions for that situation. For every challenge we face in life, there is an instruction to resolve it. Any time king David faced challenges that were bigger than him; he would always run to the Lord for instructions. Beloved, the solution to those nagging issues is not in any man but with the Lord. We must search out the instructions from the Lord and carry them out. So many times, we have received the instructions for the challenges we are facing but because we expect them to be resolved in a particular manner, or the instructions are cumbersome, we don’t carry them out. The instruction may just be to sow an Abel seed and immediately the doors we have been battering for so long will open. Friend, it is time to return to the stronghold (Christ) and seek the instructions to overturn the situation. When you find the instruction, don’t harden your heart but faithfully carry it out. The grace, strength and staying power to seek and carry out the instructions is released to you in Jesus Christ name. 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,...
