Revealing His Truth

One of the most common thing with people is worries. Human beings worry a lot, we worry over what we eat, wear, drink and virtually every thing. The truth remains that our worries can certainly change nothing. Situation never gets changed or pacified by our worries. "Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature."(Matthew 6:27) For me, I have learnt of two things that help change our conditions, that is prayers and trust in God- FAITH. These two works together. While you pray to God for your desires, you need to also trust in Him for the fulfillment of those desires. "Commit thy way unto the LORD (Pray); trust also in him (have faith in God); and he shall bring it to pass" (Psalm 37:5). It is therefore only through God that you can get the desires of your heart fulfilled.  No ways with worries in getting your desires fulfilled. I remember that song writer,                             ...

I have grown to understand as a young Christian that fighting is not good. Those days as children, we were taught to abstain from fighting and anything that is capable of causing it. All the same, as a Christian I have also grown to understand that their is the God's own fight, that is the fight that God carries out by Himself on behalf of His children. When God is involved in your fight, you don't do that yourself, God does it for you. Many of us get aggressive after been offended by a friend or neighbour, we will never allow offences pass without a commensurate retaliation. This is what often escalate to fights which the bible does not support. The scripture says clearly "The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace." (Exodus 14:14).God says He will fight for you because He doesn't want you to fight,  He says that so that you will not need to fight anybody, so that you won't feel cheated after been offended by a foe, so that you can always fi...

Most of the conclusions reached on matters of life in our world these days are often influenced by sight view, such that many people painfully, including believers are quickly ignoring and forgetting the power of faith possibilities, now giving focus to what they see (sight view) only, just like the biblical doubting Thomas who refused to believe the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ until he had to see Him. (John 20:24-29). We find in II Corinthians 5:7, "For we walk by faith, not by sight". Working by sight is unbelief, faithlessness and lack of trust in God. Faith is fully and persuasively believing in an expectation not yet seen, faith focuses its sight on God's unfailing and all-powerful and do-able ability.  The sight view, judgement and acceptance of your condition liquidates the power and possibilities of your faith. We must learn from Abraham who held on to God's promise for  an Issac and would never resort to a sight view of his physical state, age and...

On a quite tragic situation, "...we thank God it has not always been like this" was the commencing statement of a man who has been well labelled for starting his prayers often with thanksgiving. As received, the audience anticipated how he would commence his prayer on that fateful day, but because his heart and spirit is addicted to thanksgiving he found a way out to still THANK GOD even in a most tragic and unpleasant condition. Dear friend, I know, it is very easy to THANK GOD in sweet and rosy situations, but when things are sour and not turning the way we expect, thanking God becomes a little difficult. Don't forget, the scriptures exhorts us to give thanks in every situation "In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you" (1Thessalonians 5:18). We need to cultivate a lifestyle of thanking God when things are good or bad.  Beloved, when things are smooth and just fine, it is appropriate to give thanks so you don...

I received a number of queries in the last few weeks, I have not been responsive to phone calls as usual. This is actually not intentional but might be as a result of conditions relatively beyond my control those times. Dear reader, we may draw some useful points from this as regards our communication with God. I read often in scriptures God's promise to answer/respond our call(prayer) any time we call on Him. "Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not" (Jeremiah 33:3); "He shall upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honour him" (Psalm 91:15), (also see Psalm 50:15, Jeremiah 29:12). Beloved, it is now clear beyond doubt that God's promises of answers to our prayers is certain. When you call Him, He answers, not like men, just like myself who has failed in responding to calls, missing calls. God's never miss calls. My friend the only condition that wi...
