Clean-Out Your Lenses



In life journeys, we come to certain junctures where we begin to ask ourselves questions. Some at this point try to figure out how they got to those points in the first place. These stock taking moments are great as they help us clean the lenses by which we see the world; these lenses have a way of getting fogged and dirty as a result of the heat and dust of the world. This lenses which is our heart must be checked and cleaned constantly if we intend to stay on the right track in fulfilling the purpose for which we were put on earth. Failure to do this will lead to bad judgment calls and faulty decisions that lead to destinies and purposes short-changed. The aim of Christ coming into this world was to help all those that will believe in Him clean out this lenses in order to see and do right: “Jesus said, ‘I came into the world for judgment, in order that those who do not see will see and those who do see will become blind’” (John 9:39). If you are constantly making faulty and regrettable decisions, sadly you have no one to blame but yourself. God desires that the eyes of our hearts (lenses) should be fog-free at all times, flooded with light so we could know and see the right path to follow: “I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened so you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the glorious riches of His inheritance among the saints” (Ephesians 1:18).
Friend, the right path to turn to is not always the one that feels good or right as the world teaches. Most times it’s the one we least expect to tow. To keep our lenses always clear, God wants us to adhere to His word. There is no short cut; if we want the Kingdom of God then we must abide by Its rules. It is sad and pitiable when we choose which portion of His word we want to obey; such journey always ends in despair and disappointment. The desire of God is for us to love Him, walk in all His ways and remain faithful to Him no matter what (Deuteronomy 11:22). When this is done, our lenses are clearer and our paths will be illuminated for us to know and do that which is right: “This is what the Lord says: Preserve justice and do what is right, for My salvation is coming soon and My righteousness will be revealed” (Isaiah 56:1). Friend we have no excuse to take the wrong steps at a crossroad, the answer that will clean out our lenses is just a prayer and an action away. As you turn to the Lord in prayer, may the light of God flood your heart to know and see what you should do at every point in time to the glory of God Most High in Jesus Christ name. God bless you.

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 ...

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...

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...
