Inspiring the world
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. (Matthew 6:20 ESV)
Fix your eyes on things that are in Heaven. Always look at things from the perspective of the word of God. Remember that this world is temporary, and there is a judgement day and an eternal destination. Do not be distracted, rather, cling to God as you wait for a glorious future in Heaven.
May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy.
(Colossians 1:11 ESV)
Never depend on your own power. Power and mercy belong to God. All power in heaven and earth has been given to Jesus. God is the only one that can strengthen you with power.
It is very natural for man to rely on himself, and try to save Himself without God. Eve decided to believe that God does not want good for them. She tried to save herself outside God and she fell. The same thing still happens over and over again.
Look at the case of Sarah and Abraham. God had already promised them a child, yet she convinced Abraham to have a child by Hagar. She depended on herself instead of God.
It is only God that can strengthen us with power in the inner man. With power comes ability. It is a function of the grace of God and man’s power is of no use all.
Is there any area of your life that you are struggling with? God is the one that knows all. He can help you with whatever it is that seems very difficult. He can help you to be a better husband, wife, mother, father, son, daughter, son, friend, employee, entrepreneur.
He knows what we need even before we ask Him. He is the one that gives the power to make wealth. He gives knowledge and skill. He gives talents.
And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills— to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of crafts. Exodus 3:2-5
God is all powerful and glorious He can make you what He wants you to be today. Simply rest in Him and yield to Him in complete surrender.
May God strengthen you with all power, according to His glorious might.
And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. (Colossians 1:9 – 1:10 ESV)
Being filled with the knowledge of God’s will is very vital and essential to our Christian growth and walk with God. Knowledge, spiritual wisdom and understanding precede the ability to please God.
We cannot bear complete fruit without having complete or thorough knowledge of the word of God – discerning between good and evil. Lack of knowledge can actually turn things upside down in our minds and we will be displeasing God, thinking that we are being holy and righteousness
Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop–a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. Matthew 13:8
Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was a learned man, with a thorough knowledge of the Scriptures. acts 18:24
For instance, the Bible clearly tells us not to be unequally yoked with idol worshippers but Christians ignore this, and try to prove that they know more than God.
Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? 2 Corinthians 6:14
The Bible tells us not to eat with believers who live like unbelievers but we wine and dine with unbelieving believers.
But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people. 1 Corinthians 5:11
I never even knew the full meaning of this Scripture until the Lord spoke to me about people in my life that had unclean aura and garments, He explained to me that being intimate with idol worshipers or so called believers that are idol worshippers, stain our inner garments,, so it is actually for our own protection.
The Bible tells us not to forsake the gathering of believers but some of us try to prove that we know more than God. They rationalize not going to Church often. There is nothing to rationalize – if you are not sick, or have a pressing emergency, go to Church. That is after the coronavirus. Unfortunately, most Churches cannot really open normally like before.
And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near. Hebrew 10:25
The summary is that we can think that we know the word of God, and are being holy, yet we disobey very clear instructions in the Bible because we are interpreting the Bible with our own minds without the Holy Spirit. So we need our Holy teacher – the Holy Spirit, everyday to teach us , lead us and guide us. He is the spirit of wisdom, knowledge and understanding.
So, I pray that we may be filled with the knowledge of God’s will, in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of Him, everyday. Amen.
The Lord spoke to me and said, “ When you are in a difficult situation and you don’t know what to do, just start praising God.”
Praise and worship is a spiritual offering to God. Praise removes your focus from self and redirects it to God. Praise is an action that indicates faith in God. As you begin to magnify God, your mountain will begin to shrink in your eyes, and in reality, as God begins to dissolve the mountain.
Praise the LORD, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
Psalm 103:1
When Paul and Silas were in prison, they were in a difficult situation and what did they do? They got up at midnight and began to praise God and pray. The presence of God came down.
It is good to sing praises to our God. Praise God, when all else fails – you will find joy and peace as you wait for God to manifest the answer!
Messages and Revelations from Christ
The Lord spoke to me and said, “Child, you need to spend time with me.”
There is no short cut – the more you spend time with God, the more you will experience His life giving presence. This has consistently worked for me for several years.
Learn how to spend quality time with God in praise, worship, thanksgiving, prayer and reading the word of God and watch your christian life grow!

How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him. Acts 10:38
Jesus was anointed with the Holy Spirit and power. That was why He lived a constantly victorious life. You can be anointed with the Holy Spirit without being anointed with power. You can have all the fruits and so many gifts of the Holy Spirit yet, not be anointed with power.
Power gift is usually seen operating in the lives of Apostles and Evangelists. Some Prophets in the Old Testament had power gifts. Moses and Elijah are example of those who had fire or power from God. Joseph had the Spirit of God but he did not have power gifts.
So Pharaoh asked them, “Can we find anyone like this man, one in whom is the spirit of God?” Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has made all this known to you, there is no one so discerning and wise as you. You shall be in charge of my palace, and all my people are to submit to your orders. Only with respect to the throne will I be greater than you.” Genesis 31:38-40
The Spirit of the Lord was upon Jesus, to manifest love and mercy through Him. The same Holy Spirit is with us today, to manifest love and mercy upon us and through us, by His power.
May we cooperate with the Holy Spirit in His ministry of teaching, healing, deliverance and help. May we always recognize that it is only by the power of the Holy Spirit, that the church can be fruitful and effective.
Tomorrow calls
Tomorrow calls
Tomorrow will bring
A better me
And a better you
If only we
Give tomorrow
A chance
Giving tomorrow
A chance starts today
By hard-work
Prayer
And passion
We can be what
God destined us to be
We can become
The princes and princesses
Of God
Tomorrow calls
But tomorrow’s answer
Is in today’s actions
Message
Never waste today
In idleness
And prayerlessness
Today’s actions
Will determine
If we will see a
Better tomorrow
Invest
In
Today
I was sick
You judged me
I lost my job
You judged
I lost my pregnancy
You judged me
And
Now that I am dying
You stand by my bedside
A constant judge.
Your eyes and words
Scream out at me, “ it’s your fault! It’s all your fault
That you are at the point of death!”
When did you change?
From lover and husband to judge
Where is the husband
That I married?
You have completely lost
Every form of empathy
For me.
I am speechless
Hurt and dumbfounded.
Lord,
I know that you love me
And as I pass through
The valley of the shadow
Of death
You are
My Father, husband, lover,
Friend, brother, comforter
Advocate, intercessor
Savior
And deliverer.
Your
Love gives me
The strength
To carry on
I do not know
My tomorrow
But surely
My tomorrow
Is in your hands
And
I am safe
In your hands
Message
Be kind to people
Especially those
Closest to you
When they need you
The most
In their moment
Of weakness and pain,
You
Are called to be
Their friend
Not their judge.
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. (James 4:8 NKJV)
Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. (James 4:9 NKJV)
When we draw near to God, He draws near to us. God wants us to cleanse our hands and purify our hearts. We can see from the above Scripture, that relationship with God is not as easy as some want it to be. Some people will tell you that if you just confess positively, all will be well with you, but the word of God is not a mantra or an incantation and it should not be used as such.
The word of God must be gloried and respected the way it is. We should not add to it and we must not subtract from it. You must confess and obey, not just confess. We need to maintain close relationship and fellowship with God. Jesus did and Paul did. Anyone that is living a careless disobedient life who expects to confess and decree and move mountains should re-examine himself. Power without purity and holiness is great deception.
We need to draw near to God so that God Himself will draw near to us. May great grace be upon us in Jesus name.
