Walking in God’s Confidence



Several times as children of God we are buffeted by the storms of life that we wonder if God can really hear us. The pain gets so devastating that we consider throwing in the towel at the slightest provocation at this point. Some of us declare that this was not what they expected or sign for, thus, they look for every way to bail out.  Friend, there will always be storms whether you are in Christ or not. The difference and consolation we have is that in Christ, He is with us all the way.  He promised in His word that He would never leave nor forsake us. The Bible clearly tells us that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood (Ephesians 6:12) but against wicked spirits in high places. They inhabit certain situations to torment us but if we fail to understand and see that God had promised not to leave nor forsake us, there is the tendency to become a victim. Are you buffeted by debts, your promotion withheld, you have done everything but cannot find a decent and befitting job? Don’t be discouraged God is at work on your behalf. You might argue that you had been praying for years and nothing seem to be coming out of it. It is time to take the offence! Our God takes the offence but His children are always playing defense. God has gone on the offensive on our behalf, it is for us to walk as victors and conquer and not walk before Him as cowards, doubters or fearful – these nullify the conquests we ought to receive in Him. When the children of Israel were about to cross the Jordan in Deuteronomy 9: 1-6, God told them about the fearsome and undefeated giants in the land that He had given them as an inheritance. The land is theirs and anyone that is occupying it must leave, that is the command of God. Is the enemy struggling with you in your finances, peace, home, job or your academics, it has no stay permit there it must LEAVE! Do remember that in the Scripture above, it was God who drew the attention of the people to these giants as He drew your own attention by confrontations, dreams, word of knowledge and revelation to the giants facing you. Just as He told the people of Israel He is equally telling you not to be afraid but believe and receive His victory that He is handing over to you today. He says He has gone before you like a Consuming Fire to devastate and subdue your enemies, then you must enter the land and chase them out. The power for them to hurt you is taken away, however for this to be activated in your life; you must receive, believe and walk in this TRUTH! Whenever fear comes to remind you of this situation tell it that you already have the victory over it. God’s confidence is released unto you mightily 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,...
