The Quest



If you have carefully observed, the human being had been fashioned by God to seek ‘something’ that is greater than him/herself. The quest for this has led so many into dangerous paths, desires and passions that have led and are leading so many astray. This is not new as this quest is as old as creation. The Pharisees at one time asked the Lord Jesus Christ when the Kingdom of God will come. This question is loaded with many assumptions: One could deduce that the Pharisees desired to see this Kingdom being preached about by Christ and a desire to know and recognize it because they believe it is their inheritance. Unfortunately, I bet they were disappointed with the reply Jesus Christ gave them, like so many do today, they will expect a supernatural shaking or phenomenon that will herald this Kingdom and at the same time distinguish it from others. However, Jesus Christ replied: “The Kingdom of God can’t be detected by visible signs. You won’t be able to say ‘Here it is!’ or ‘It’s over there!’ For the Kingdom of God is already among you” (Luke 17: 20b-21, NLT). Some versions say: “because the Kingdom of God is within you.” This simply means, every born again child of God carries the Kingdom within him/her. No wonder Jesus told Nicodemus that except he is born again, born of water and the Spirit, such cannot see nor enter the Kingdom. That was the only condition given to us to be partakers of the Kingdom of God.
Friend, you have searched high and low for that seemingly elusive “joy and satisfaction”, as a result you embarked on relationships and lifestyles that you know in your heart are not doing you any good. Don’t fret! Jesus Christ is knocking on the door of your heart to give you rest and a way out of this ‘quest’. Your part in this is to allow Him in, believe and accept Him. All that you are on a quest for according to His will is in Him. The Bible tells us that all things, visible and invincible were created by and for Him (Colossians 1:16b). He has promised you a life of abundance if only you will come to Him: “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10b). I am not saying all your problems will disappear all at once, but He is promising to show you how and instruct you in the way you should go. The Kingdom is indeed within you if only you will release your heart to Him; you will discover that all you need to live a good and satisfying life is all yours for the asking. He promised us that if we ask for even the nations He will give them to us. Nothing is too big for Him to give to you after all He gave His Son to die for the world! Please bow your heart and ask Him in and you will be pleasantly surprised. 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...

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...

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...
