Bringing Forth

Every woman knows that bringing forth a baby requires some physical exercise. Part of the training she receives during the pregnancy is how to channel her strength towards this nobel accomplishment

At some point she will be asked to push out what she had nurtured inside.  This process has taken about nine months. In life there will come seasons when what we have stored up will be in demand.

Push out the treasure that you have stored up through learning, training or study. At some point in David's life what he has done secretly was to be needed in the palace.  His skill as a musician was needed to save the king of his woes

He has a future in the kings employ.  No longer will he be defined as the errand boy. His nomadic life as a shepherd was to also end.  There must be a huge difference between life in the palace and life as a nomad

The topmost high is yours, your best days are before you. Your secret labours will be rewarded with untold favours. It's rewards time,  your harvest season. The palace beckons, your head will wear the crown

Nothing happens by chance, ask God to put you in your own blessings.

One of the servants answered, "I have seen a son of Jesse of Bethlehem who knows how to play the harp. He is a brave man and a warrior. He speaks well and is a fine-looking man. And the LORD is with him." 1 Samuel 16:8

David came to Saul and entered his service. Saul liked him very much, and David became one of his armor-bearers. 1 Samuel 16:21

Restore Me

Can what has been lost be replaced?
Yes,  it can and better too
The story of Job relays the sweetness of restoration
...the LORD made him prosperous again and gave him twice as much as he had before. Job 42:10

His, is a fine example of God's blessing after a loss
No one wants to have a bad turn,  but it sometimes happens
Bad things can happen to good people
Restoration is what turns the frown to a smile

The closest person to Job doubted his intergrity
The wife and friends of Job were faith killers
They believed for him to suffer this much loss
His offences must have been great

Our God has a way of spinning surprises
He will pleasantly surprise you and wipe your tears
You may not have answers as to why the trouble came
But let it not tear you away from God. Hold on

There will be light at the end of the tunnel
Your sighings will turn to singing
Your shame will bring you glory
Your testimony will marvel all

However, stay true to the end
Continue to believe for a better day
The God of restoration will visit you and all your losses will be restored

Restoration is a privilege right of a child of God
Expect it, demand for it in prayers and wait for it
The last laugh is yours.
Your story will end in glory


for though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again Proverbs 24:16

Words

If there's one thing many don't take to account,  is their use of words.  Words they speak to themselves, others, or use generally. We form our worlds with our words

Taking a cue from the story of creation, God laid the precedence for the discerning to copy.     Note also that words carry the authority of the one who issues it.

Words start wars, words end wars. In whatever form it is communicated (written, oral, sign). It has the ability to motivate negatively or positively to action.

Adolf Hitler's oratory was what earned him relevance in his country's polity.  His words was the weapon he used to fuel hatred and the great massacre of people the world withnesed

How are you framing your world? What you don't want to see don't say. However, If you must speak right, it is important to store up the right information, as out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks

Careless use of words have ruined promising friendships, as like a broken egg some relationships can't be perfectly realigned. Silence is not always golden as unspoken words can destroy a union

Your world awaits your words.
Your words is doing more for you than you know.
Speaking the right words is a good seed to sow into your future

Proverbs 25:11
A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.

Church Times: Titled

There's a truth that originated from God which the devil has used to its advantage. Unity,  and the power it portend. Because of the simplicity of God's word many have disbelieved it wanting something rather more complex or complicated.

Unity is a great force. It is at the root of continued success. Disunity is what Satan introduced to the church. It has limited the church which is the strongest army in the world. As with anything the devil offers,  it's always with subtility.

I looked keenly and discovered a silent cancer growing almost unnoticed.  Church titles. The purpose is to differentiate for service, but in some quarters it's more of a superiority show off. Only the head of the humble is fit to wear the crown of service.

I believe age,  grace,  anointing should be recognized and respected, however we must realize that the first title Jesus gave was disciple. A disciple is simply a follower of Christ. It is adopting His way of doing things

Titles is to recognize the office you are called to serve.  Not to turn yourself to an unapproachable deity. It is to bring people to Jesus not repel. To be separated for service is a privilege, serve as a true disciple

We have been made priests and kings unto our God. Any other human title is far lesser.  Disallow the deception. What more can top the word of God

Revelation 1:6
And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

No Comment

I have been trying to come to terms with some recent occurrences....

In the last four years, events similar to biafra massacre have grazed the land. Countless lives lost,  properties destroyed, many displaced, families in disarray. Safety is at its worst. The economy is no better. Now ranked the poorest nation in the world


Need I mention unemployment, job insecurity, fall in standard of living, no improvement in healthcare, the list seem endless. At the slightest opportunity of a change I thought it would be most welcome. But alas, somehow there's continuity. I wonder what would unfold next...

Really I am baffled, dazed,  anything but this. Why o why!
Nigeria arise,  say no to the blood of the innocent. Say no to insecurity. Reject the reign of terror. Say no to defilement. We are blessed with natural resources but the national treasure is denied many.

Really I have no comments... Pray more

Help!!! I'm drowning

How does it feel to walk on water?
Peter, will tell us someday
Just like Jesus, he was enjoying the walk on water
What a feeling

Just  as he was about getting to Jesus
He began to take account of the sea
No one walks on water, he thought to himself
And he took his gaze off Jesus to the wind

Taking his eyes off the one that bid him come was a dangerous thing to do
He soon realized that his leg had suddenly caved in to the ocean
He was now beneath what he was above seconds ago
Realising he's in danger. He cried for help

Jesus reached out and grabbed him
But said this words to him...
"O You of little faith," "why did you doubt?"
Peter replied ...when i saw the wind, I was afraid...

Fear and faith is like oil and water. It never mix
Fear echoes the voice of reason
Faith resonates the truth of God
The reason your faith in God is not profiting you is because of the loudness of your fear

You cannot look up and down at the same time
You can not claim to believe God and your senses
One must prevail, your end result will show what you believe in
Fear has a voice and so does faith. They both speak, but which do you listen to?

However, if you have veered off God's course
Please imitate Peter, cry out for help!!!

But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, "Lord, save me!"
Matthew 14:30

Top Secret

At a day,  time or hour no one knows,  Jesus will be making a return journey to earth.   His coming will be with all the pomp and grandeur no one has ever witnessed before.

Many have tried to give a time to His return. Several dates have popped up and all proven false. Only God knows the day, but we are advised to keep watch and be ready

He first came over two thousand years ago, born  of a virgin. Jesus purpose was to restore the fellowship Adam had with God, but lost through the deception of Satan.

At age thirty he stepped fully into his divine call. He succeeded where Adam failed. Which means that for any that accepts him they are no more under the rule of Satan

For another three years he went about with the message of repentance and love. And as an ultimate proof of His love,  He laid his life down as a just offering for sin

The story of Jesus is not strange to many, the Bible has preserved it faithfully for years. However, this is a reminder that He's coming back and we must be ready to meet him

Open your heart to his word today. Discard all falsehood. Jesus is the only guarantee of a eternal life devoid of wickedness. Step out and be counted for Jesus.

"At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory.
Mathew 24:30

No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come.
Mark 13:32,33
