WE FAITH IT TILL WE MAKE IT.



We can't go about life with our heads bowed down feeling that there is nothing we can do about the situations that come our way.

Who says we have no say in what happens to us in our daily lives?. Change for the better must first start in our hearts and minds. We must believe it and desire it so much that we can actually paint a picture about it in our hearts.

Take your mind off what you don't want and focus on what you really desire. We live in a universe that is governed by the law of attraction. You inevitably attract to you what you hold constantly in you mind whether positive or negative. So just stick to the positive aspects of life and attract the good things you want to you.

Don't forget what the holy bible said in Genesis while the construction of the tower of Babel was going on, GOD said “see, nothing of what they have imagined in their hearts shall be IMPOSSIBLE unto them". So what are you constantly imagining?

What also are you speaking with your mouth? What are the words that you release out of your mouth doing to you or for you? I said "to you or for you", because you need to understand that these words are laden with power, they aren't mere breathe, the words you speak, you would definitely see manifest; either good or bad.

How do you start your day? How about when you are broke? Do you wake up and say today I am going to make it? Or today is going to be a great day? Or do you just open your mouth and compound the problem with words that eventually work against you.

Have faith, believe that no matter the situation, things must work in your favour. Open your mouth every morning, afternoon and night and prophesy greatness into your life.

There is no mountain anywhere; the only mountain in your life is your ignorance. Fertility is not of the land, it is of the mind, what your mind can comprehend, your life will apprehend.

I see you moving up in life, no more harassment from the pit of hell. Daily wash your mind with the scriptures and whenever a negative thought comes to your mind, ALWAYS speak out a POSITIVE statement and over time the negative thoughts would be depleted and you would see yourself winning in the race of life.

Please, remember that a life without Christ is a life full of crises ! If you are not yet born again, now is the perfect opportunity to accept Jesus into your life. Let him in and your life would be transformed for the best.

Please, say this prayer with me:  Lord Jesus, please forgive my sins, thanks for coming to save me, thanks for dying in my place and for rising up for my justification. Cleanse me with your precious blood, write my name in the book of life and save me to the uttermost. Lord Jesus, I confess that you are my Lord and saviour, I confess that I have been saved by your blood. I confess that I am born again. Thank you Lord for saving me. Amen.

If you have just prayed the above prayer, I congratulate you  in the name of the Lord. Welcome in the Kingdom of the Almighty God. Go and keep winning over the devil and in the race of life 

SEE YOU AT THE TOP.

The Devil's BIG GAMBLE.



   We know the story of creation as told in Genesis Chapter 1 and 2. We also know the story of the fall of man pursuant to the woman falling for the cunning of the devil / serpent.

If we carefully follow the words that were used by the devil in tempting the woman, we easily can make two generalizations:

1) Eve had an inferiority complex.

2) Eve had an identity issue (or identity crisis).

She clearly did not know who she was nor did she understand her true nature. If she did, she would not have fallen cheaply for the "salesman's" line that the devil / serpent used on her i.e. "you shall be as gods".

She was already a god and did not need anything else to be as God. She was already a god and she already had the Holy Spirit dwelling on the inside of her. She had authority over the whole of God's creation, she had authority over the works of the hands of the Almighty but my guess is that Adam did not tell her that.

Adam knew who he was and that is why the serpent did not tempt Adam. The serpent also knew that Adam though was head over heels in love with Eve had not shared with her the mystery of her (their) identity. In his or its subtle nature the devil / serpent proceeded to manipulate Adam through Eve.

It was a gamble that paid off for the devil even though it was just temporary.

Temporary?  Yes, temporary because God is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. The God who sees the end from the beginning and the beginning from the end. He doesn't GAMBLE!

Somehow, He had the devil just where he wanted him.

Gen 3 v 9 And God called unto Adam and saith unto him "Where are you?" v 10 and he said, I heard your voice in the garden and I hid in the garden and I was afraid because, I was naked and I hid myself"

Adam and Eve ate of the forbidden fruit after the short commercial presentation that the devil (serpent) made unto Eve. They realized that they were all the while naked but more especially that the Aura that covered them which was as think as clothing itself (thus giving them the feeling that they were clothed) was gone, it was no longer on them and hence they understood that they were naked!

Immediately, their composition was changed. The God input was no longer there in them (their Spirit had died or returned to the giver). They had fallen from being Spirit beings to being human / natural beings (fleshly beings) whose main composition is dust.

Now, a fundamental character of the natural being is his / her / its inability to take responsibility for his actions. This is exhibited in Adam's response to God's question in Gen 3 v 11. Adam in Gen 3v 12 responded by saying "The woman whom “You” gave to be with me," She gave me of the tree and I did eat".

In essence, in Adam's own opinion, God was indirectly responsible for his fall.

Why? Well. After all, before God gave the woman to Adam to be his "helpmate", Adam lived and tended to the very same garden with the very same tree in its center and with the very same forbidden fruit and he never ate of it. Now, God gave him the woman and he ended up eating of the forbidden fruit.

Well, the deed has been done. God's next line of action was to banish Adam and Eve from the garden lest they end up eating off the tree of life. After all, Adam had just committed high treason and no longer was on God's side.

Whether he liked it or not, his loyalty was now to the devil and thus letting him (Adam the enemy) to continue to live in the garden amounted to the risk of him (Adam) gaining immortality whilst still in the devil's camp. This would be highly counterproductive to the kingdom. It was for this reason that he was banished from the garden.

God however, set the plans of restoring mankind to his rightful place of dominion rolling. We would be looking into that in the next write up coming soon.

At this juncture I would like to ask you to receive the Lord Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. If you are not yet born again, today is the day of your salvation.Please, do not pass up on this opportunity.

Please, pray this prayer with me : Dear Lord, I come to you in all humility, I know that I am a sinner but I do not wish to remain a sinner. I ask that you forgive me my sins, cleanse me with the precious blood of Christ that was shed for me, write my name in the book of Life, be my Lord and saviour. I confess that I am born again and Jesus is the Lord of my life. Thank you Lord for saving me. Amen.


If you prayed the above prayer, I congratulate you. Begin to experience God in your life in a new and refreshing way. God bless you.

Direction for Distinction.



Direction for Distinction. Have you ever seen anyone miss his way after carefully following a well laid out map?

When direction is given, mistakes are avoided. When you follow the instructions of experienced people it usually works out very well, especially if such people are experienced in the field of which you have sought their advice.

The foundation for distinction is direction. The end of a matter is always better than the beginning but there is never an end in sight if there is no beginning.

Eccl 7 V 8; "Better is the end of a matter than the beginning thereof but the patient in spirit is better than the proud.

When God gives a man a message, there is always divine direction to back it up . When God sent Moses to Egypt to liberate the Israelites, God gave him directions and on every task there was a directive to be followed.

Moses, the bible records was the meekest man who ever lived but when pride got in the way, he was not allowed to set foot in the Promised Land. “The patient in spirit is better than the proud"

The people of Israel needed water and God spoke to Moses instructing him to smite the rock with his staff and Moses did as commanded, the God the intended result; water for the people.

The next time the people needed water, God instructed Moses to speak to the rock but at this particular point in time, Moses has lost his cool, (The patient in spirit is better than the proud) and did not acknowledge God as the source of water.

Rather he said shall "we" (probably referring to himself and Aaron but not God who was in truth responsible for the water supply) fetch you water out of this rock? And the he smote the rock twice contrary to speaking to the rock as instructed.

The instruction / directive to Moses to "speak" to the rock is in contrast to Moses' experience 40 years earlier, when Moses followed God's instruction to hit the rock – and water gushed out (Exodus 17:6).

God wants you to follow his instruction and not your experience because he knows what is most pressing at that point in time.

Let’s imagine that there was an argument between or amongst a group of fellows in the camp about what their fathers told them happened 40 years earlier when Moses smote the rock and water gushed out.

A group were probably of the opinion that, well, Moses was just lucky or that he knew that the particular type of rock he struck usually held water and thus when you make / drill a hole in the rock, the water that it held over a long period of time would be released and be fit for drinking because the water had to pass through various layers of rock to get into this storage rock thus purifying it. Whilst the other group may have had another opinion, which was that, just as their fathers had told them, "God" was responsible for the water. In short, it was a miracle.

God in his mercies wanting to save the souls of the first group of men from unbelief and thus death, instructed Moses to speak to the rock so that the evidence would be indisputable but Moses in his anger (don't forget he was a stutterer / stammerer), momentary disbelieve and pride decided to rely on his "EXPERIENCE" thus disobeying God (his and Aaron's act were counted as sin and the wages of sin is DEATH).

One of the consequences for this action was the death of Aaron (Numbers 20 v 23 - 29). The second was that Moses was judged as no longer fit to lead (probably, not because he was not capable but because the "New Generation" probably thought of him as old and were probably more responsive to one from their generation) . A third was that Moses was not allowed to go into the Promised Land (Numbers 20 v 12).

Direction is instruction. Direction is the sign post on the path that leads to success or blessings. Your willingness to follow God and your complete obedience to his word guarantees your distinction.

Psalm 32 v 8 " I will instruct and teach thee the way to go, I will counsel you and care for you". God is not only willing to direct you to success and distinction; He is also guaranteeing your total well-being.

Isaiah 1 v 19 " If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land". Here again, God is saying that your willingness to follow his directives or directions or instructions and your complete obedience to his words guarantees that you do not lack or that you have abundance on your table.

2Sam 2 v 1, 2Sam 5 v 19, "And David inquired of the Lord........" King David, a man whose exploits in battle are still remembered almost three thousand years after his demise never went into any battle without inquiring from the Lord whether or not to. No wonder he never lost a single battle.

King David secured his place by his willingness and his obedience to the leading, directives, direction(s) and instruction of the Lord.

You also can secure your place! You can secure your destiny by your willingness and complete obedience to the leading, directives, direction(s) and instructions of the Lord.
