How does it work? Yes, when you wait upon the Lord, it’s synonymous with walking by faith. While you’re waiting for a promise from God to happen, some things have to develop in the dark. I mean something significant forming in secret for your ultimate good, yes, for your gracious manifestation. God is bringing it all together in secret. You have to believe when there’s no sign on the outside that what’s inside is alive. That promise God gave you,…
When you continue to walk by faith, you continue excelling by faith, succeeding graciously in reality. In the Scripture, believers life in Christ Jesus is contrasted with an eagle. It’s fascinating that for a long time, parent falcons sit on their eggs to keep them warm, unaffected by what’s not evolving. They never feel the child eaglets kick, and the eggs never become any more significant. There’s no indication of something going on under the surface. Yet, on day 35,…
1. “The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish but everyone to come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief.” 2 “The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare. Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought…
The accurate Scriptural understanding of Matthew 12:20 will always call believers to immortal praise for those weaknesses and receive the strength to forge ahead even when things appear challenging! Smoking, the smouldering wick is in a precarious position. It is weak; the embers are about to lose whatever heat and light they had and be darkened forever. There are many people in a similar state—they have been wounded emotionally, spiritually, or physically. They are weak and about to lose all…
At a point in life, weaknesses could remain unabated! For example, I asked a friend about his prayer life and how best he handles those weaknesses he discussed with me. He answered, “well, I am still here.” Yes, we need to thank God for those weaknesses and follow the principle that says, “the best form of prayer is to keep praying anyway!” Beginning to see those weaknesses as smoking flax and remember that God always cares for us and His…
1. “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” 2 “For at that time I will change the speech of the peoples to a pure speech, that all of them may call upon the name of the Lord and serve him with one accord.” 3 “Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray…
One thing I can see now, oh yes, nothing can stop what God has purposed for your life. Yes, God’s going to take what was meant for your harm, turn it to your advantage and turn it to your wealth. All I see around you is the testimony of all things turning around for your good! It shall turn and turn to testimony – “Then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the…
Yes, offences may come, but we have to decide whether or not to hold on to them. When you let go of the bitterness and put it into the hands of God, you’re making way for the new things He wants to do in your life! Remember this Scripture: “Do not take to heart all the things that people say, lest you hear your servant cursing you. Your heart knows that many times you yourself have cursed others.” (Ecclesiastes 7:21-22,…
1. “For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.” 2 “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.” 3 “When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and…
Yes, God owns our life in His hands, and His Spirit leads us. The silent seasons must come for the abundant harvesting to flourish. The testing time must surely come when we do not always understand where the Holy Spirit is taking us. We can only trust the Holy Spirit to take us through the desert into something bigger for our future in Christ Jesus. You mighty be in a time of challenge today, but always remember; your harvest seasons…
