‘Timid?...NO!’



We are sometimes buffeted by certain winds of life that make us stressed, worried and fearful. These winds no matter how long they last blow away the confidence of so many. Many later realize that fear and worry has become second nature to them and they transport these same feelings into all that they do. A little voice constantly gives them a reason to be fearful and worrisome about their circumstances. This voice is no respecter of persons! The end result is that a lot become timid, unsure of themselves and their faith. They constantly seek validation and approval of their friends, families, bosses, spouses and colleagues in order to feel relevant. Friend, this is not of God. They mask the timidity with shyness. There is a need to shut out that voice once and for all so you can be who you have been created to be. As a child of God, one thing you must be confident about is that God is at work in you to will and to do of His great pleasure (Philippians 2:13). From the day you said yes to the Lord, “…He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ” (Philippians 1:6). Therefore, remind yourself of this on a daily basis. God is in control of your life and your approval is not dependent upon any human but upon God Himself (2Timothy 2:15). Remind yourself, friend that God has been there from the very beginning and the conclusion of the matter will bring Him greater glory as long as you remain in Him. Walk deliberately in this faith and see God do wonders on your behalf. Let go of worry and timidity they are not the qualities of a true child of God. Just as our Father is fearless and bold so are we on this earth in Jesus Name. You are free from all that has held your mind bound 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,...
