WHAT YOU ARE NOT MAKES YOU WHO YOU ARE

By -



I shared my lodge at school with some blind student and I tell you, because they were blind, they could hear and smell far better, I remember when one of the blind lodge mate detected a plot against us from a distance. Though I could see people discussing but I wasn’t hearing what they were discussing and though he couldn’t see them, he could hear them and as a result we escape that plot against us.
What you are not enables you to maximize who you are. Life is a chain of events, if ‘this’ isn’t happening in your life, make sure ‘that’ is happening. If you’ve not gotten admission to study in the university, it gives you the opportunity to learn a skill, trade or perfect your God given talent whether is sports, music, entertainment, writing etc. if Job isn’t coming, you can start planning on doing a business and if marriage isn’t happening, you can make take advantage of your singlehood and pursue a vision or goal in life etc. just don’t stall your life because something you are looking forward to isn’t happening.
Every situation you are has the potential of working for your good if you want it to. When Jephtah was chased to the caves out of his fathers house and denied all his rights (see Judges 11), he could had stalled his life by blaming those who denied him his right as being wicked and destroying his destiny but rather the bibles says while in the Cave he was learning how to fight and teaching those he found there how to fight to, later, that fighting skills became the the path through which he became the judge and leader of Israel.
When you ask God to make you are success, don’t tell Him how to, if you ask Him to lead you, don’t show Him the path through which He must lead you rather trust Him through any path He decides for you.
It mustn’t be through that path that you so desire that God must lead you through, He may decide to follow an unfamiliar path and through that path lead you to success.
Don’t be too focus on what you don’t have that you lose the better things you could possibly had gotten if you’ve paid attention, don’t stop to move because the path you want to follow isn’t the path God is leading you through. When you’ve trusted God to lead you, please let Him do the leading, stop suggesting and stalling yourself from moving along as He leads because the path He is leading isn’t familiar with you.
Maximize and enjoy what you have while waiting on God over what you don’t.
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
