God’s Possessions! – Part 2



Being a possession of God is one of the greatest joys we have as believers in Jesus Christ. Apostle Paul understood this that was why we saw him repeatedly refer to himself as a ‘bond-servant’ of God. A bond-servant has no life of his own. In fact the life he lives is by the leave of his master. All he owns or acquires whilst in service to the master belong to the master. When a bond-servant decides to leave the employ of his master, he leaves behind all he has acquired. As disciples of Jesus Christ, we are called to be His bond-servants (robots), people that are sold-out to God; not just mouthing “it’s all about God” but actually living the fact that it is truly about God and not them. If I may ask you, the personal visions and ‘manifestos’ you have written for yourself for this year, by whose leave did you write them? Did you finish writing them and presented them to God to bless? Imagine you have a robot, and it comes to you with what it desires to be doing, how would you react? If truly you are a bond-servant, only the Master can write and give such instructions. Besides God will not give you a detailed instruction for the year so that you will not get cocky and run from His presence. The Scriptures tells us: “Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light on my path” (Psalm 119:105). This means God will reveal His intentions to us as we walk daily with Him. If His word which is a lamp for our feet can light the whole journey, we may not necessarily need His guidance along the way. Thus, God desires to counsel and guide us every inch of the way. The Bible equally tells us that we are clay jars carrying the magnificent Spirit of God and not the other way round. It then follows that not only are we possessed by Him, we must look to Him for instructions and directions. Throughout Scriptures we have seen that those that look to God for instructions and directions never failed and they went on to be vessels through which God displayed His extraordinary powers. Friend, as His coming draws near, God desires that we must recognize this fact that we are His to be used as He wills. Jesus Christ reiterated this when he said “For I have come down from heaven not to do My will, but the will of Him who sent Me” (John 6:38) and “I assure you: the Son is not able to do anything on His own, but only what He sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, the Son also does these things in the same way” (John 5:19). There is so much the Lord desires to do in and through us only when we totally surrender our will to Him can He truly accomplish the feats in and through us. 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,...
