LEARNING HOW TO RIDE

He said, "Come." So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus. but when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, "Lord, save me. Matthew 14:29-30

For every first timer on a bicycle, the challenge such a person has to overcome is looking away from the pedal. When I was learning bicycle, I was told to look away from the pedal but I found it hard to do so at first. Trusting that my legs without the guidance of my eyes can paddle the bicycle was a tough challenge but it was only when I learned to look away from the paddle and look forward that I actually learnt how to ride on bicycle.
Similar thing was the case of Peter, he wanted to walk on water but he was finding it difficult to fix his gaze on Christ, the truth is that you cannot walk on water by looking away from Christ i.e. observing the wind and the water.
When peter looked away from Christ, he saw the wind and became afraid and began to sink. When you look on the pedal of a bicycle, you’ll definitely fall from the bicycle.
To ride on in life, stop observing the wind, stop noticing that sickness, those disappointment, those devils and witches etc. start fixing your gaze on the word, yes, on Christ for faithful is He that promised and He will do it. No wind can make you sink as long as your gaze is on Christ (the word).
Hold on to the word of God, never let go of if, as long as the word is still within your gaze, you won’t sink; you’ll surely walk on water, yes, on that difficult situation unscathed. Amen.

Click like to join me make this prayer ‘I won’t shift my gaze away from you Lord in Jesus name’. Amen

God bless you.

EVIL

WHEN GOD ALLOWS EVIL ON THE RIGHTEOUS When Christ the righteous was allowed to be crucified in the midst of the guilty, He resurrected in Glory and the enemy was defeated and put to shame. God doesn’t allow evil come on the righteous except He has planned to use the devices of the evil against the righteous to put the evil planner to shame. When the wicked is prospering in his evil against the righteous, it’s because God wants to by the evil of the evil doer puts him to shame. If you have questions over the prosperity of wickedness over your life though you believe in God, think on why God allowed the devil succeeded in killing Christ and what happened afterwards, Christ resurrected in greater glory and the devil was forever defeated before Christ. As it was for Christ so it would be for you, that enemy that is prospering over your life now though you believe in God, will be brought low via his wickedness and you’ll resurrect to greater glory and restoration Pr 11:5 ¶ The

THE STRUGGLE FOR WHOM TO BELIEVE

By -
After a program back in Nigeria early last year, a woman met me by the car and wants me pray for her conception, since she had a first son, having another has been difficult. As I was about to pray for her, I told her she is now pregnant by the word of God (Ex 23:26). After few days, she called to say, she went for medical test and the report isn’t so, and I replied, God is far above medical science, she said ‘amen’. She went for test again after few more days and the result was negative and she called and told me its negative, I laughed and said, Doc’s of these days are so blind, they see things late. She was surprised at my reply. She went for the third test after few more days, and result was still negative but this time, she told herself, I am pregnant because God has said so and by that she rejected the doctor’s report of negativity and thus the fourth test announced itself; an experienced mother asked her, are you pregnant? Instead of saying no according to the doc,

ORDAINED TO BE FRUITFUL

By -
Someone said because of the suffering he was passing through that God has ordained it therefore he is going to accept the financial barrenness as part of God’s plan for him. (I will therefore present my discussion with him like a drama) Me: (I looked at him and asked him) how do you know this barrenness is God’s plan for you? He:   If it’s not God’s plan, why hasn’t God done anything about my situation? Me: How does God change or create a situation isn’t it by His word as in creation? He: Yes Me: Has He spoken that you’ll be barren in life through His word to you? He: Not actually, but that’s what am experiencing, that’s how I feel right now Me: If your experience and feeling isn’t in accordance to God’s word, then your feeling and experience is devilish Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. John 15:8 God is so happy when you are fruitful in life; when you give birth to kids, it excites God, when you get results in
