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.

Finding True Love

         From the beginning of time, God Almighty has sought various means of communicating His thoughts and desires to humanity. Through the very things He has created around us, He clearly reveals His divine nature and our predestined purposes as the object of His love to those who care enough to pay attention.  His goal has always been to set men free from all that limits them from experiencing an abundant life. There is no doubt that the present life as we know it, with all its hurts, pains and heartbreak was never meant to be this way; indeed the enemy has done this.         Friends, if He created the earth with hidden and precious treasures, then how much more you? The enemy, on the other hand, has worked overtime to create things that bind, blind, limit, and ultimately stop us from fulfilling our God-given destinies. His most successful strategies are those which are subtle and appeal to our fleshly desires, just as...

You Are What Matters Most To Jesus Christ

 "When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty; Walk [habitually] before Me [with integrity, knowing that you are always in My presence], and be blameless and complete [in obedience to Me]" (Genesis 17:1, AMP).        A while back, I overheard a conversation between two young men; both were wondering how a person can be and remain holy in a world that daily encourages you to exhibit and enjoy every self-indulgent pleasure one desires. Of course, they knew the Scripture in Psalm 119:9-11, which describes how a young man can keep his way pure, but they feel it is increasingly becoming difficult to discern the way of the Lord from the world system. To them, many Pastors and children of God have been won over by the kingdom of darkness to subvert the principles of God as written in the Bible.           They were not wrong, in light of some of the teaching coming from the pulpits! The above ...

The Perverted Love Of St Valentine's Day

         We live in a world where those who suppress the truth have the loudest voices. They are more persuasive in their arguments because their arguments sound logical and well-reasoned. However, the fact that an argument is loud and logical does not necessarily mean it is the truth. At the same time, the fact that an argument is loud and logical does not mean it is of God. So many claim they do not care where it originates from, but they agree with and have bought into its message. If that is your stance, then you need to hear this because what you believe and have bought into is a lie. Remember, ignorance is not bliss but a dangerous position to occupy as many ‘ignorants’ abound in hell!        The argument for celebrating St. Valentine's Day is loud and sounds logical but it is not the truth, nor is it of God! It is not of God because the love that Jesus Christ portrays carries within it the responsibility of self-sacrifice whilst that o...
