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.

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...
