You want to marry a God fearing and gentle man/lady, you want to marry God's will for your life, you want to marry someone who is close and intimate with God. But then, let me ask; do you possess the qualities you expect in your future spouse? Do you measure up to the standard you laid up for that man/lady? So many people are looking for God's will in their marital life, but the question is, aside marriage, are you living according to the will of God for your life? Do you submit to his will and instructions as they come to you in your private life? You want to marry a spouse who hears expressly from God, do you hear expressly from God? From a letter collection I read, one of the writers said "I know God would not give his darling daughter to a bastard son, and whosoever the Lord gives me would be his very dear son". Now that is recognising and knowing who you are in Christ. That is knowing your worth as a kingdom child, knowing that God has the best plans for you ...

So many of us ask and desire for more of God, we cry daily and yearn for more of His presence, but then the question is: What have you done with the little you have already in your hands? To what use have you put the measure of God in you to? How much impact have you made with what you already possess in God? Our God is a resourceful God who does not put to waste his resources. If God has given you 2 and expects you to reproduce 4, but then all he sees is a child not putting to use what he has, but rather crying for more. And then God is asking; what have you done with what you already have? Elisha would not have been able to use the power of Elijah effectively if he had not put to use what he possessed before. A man that wants to be great in the kingdom has to be willing to yield to the smallest of things that God has given Him. Rather than crying for more of God, why don't we cry for the grace to YIELD  to what we already have deposited in us. Why don't we cry for more of ...

Some situations hit us in life and we wonder whether God is still faithful. We remember His past promises to us but then our present circumstance contradicts those promises and then we start doubting his words. I could imagine Joseph's state of mind after being sold to Portiphar and later being sent to the prison. I can't even imagine how dejected he might have been. However, one thing was constant about Joseph and that was his trust in and faithfulness to God. Even when he could simply enjoy himself with Portiphar's wife, and enjoy luxury at the house through the wife's influence; he rather chose to trust in and fear God. Genesis 39:9  There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God? Trusting in God is a part of our lifestyle as believers. This is because it is in believing that he is and trusting that he can do all things that we...

Why are you keeping God's commands? Is it because it suits your present circumstance? Why are you serving Jesus? Is it to get healed of that disease? Hope you are planning to make heaven because you love God and not because you are afraid of hell. So many times, we do things out of fear rather than out of love. As believers, at times, we want to avoid sins and as a result, we become sin-conscious. And then, we tend to just want to know what is or is not sin to avoid God's wrath and not because we are committed to pleasing Him. As children of God, whatever we do should be out of our love for God and not out of the fear of his wrath upon the children of disobedience. God's nature is love, and it was as a result of this love that we were given the second chance to be reconciled to him. Jesus Christ is our second chance and, his death at the cross was for us and born out of his love for mankind. Yes, even while we were sinners, while we were unlovely and unlovable, Christ di...

So yesterday, I was thinking and this popped into my head "Is God real?" Surprising, right? But you know what made me happy, I didn't need anyone to tell me that He is indeed real, for I KNOW HE IS REAL. Like, I wasn't cajoled or convinced with words to be sure of His existence, I JUST KNOW. Why? Because I have EXPERIENCED HIM MYSELF. There is an emphasis on the "myself" because the experience is a personal one. It is a decision that no one can make for you, you just have to decide YOURSELF. Now, most people believe that God exists because they were born into Christian homes and because their parents explained his existence to them. However, there is the place of EXPERIENCING God rather than just  HEARING ABOUT him, yeah there is a difference. And the difference between mere hearing about God and getting genuine salvation is from experiencing Christ. What does it mean to experience Christ? It means to have an evidence of salvation , it means to have ...

I went through Instagram days ago, and was overwhelmed by some of the things i found. Before I joined Instagram, which was recently, I just thought it was a place where people posted pictures and had numerous followers, finish (lol). I never knew God was also taking Instagram for his Glory. I saw forums like Mine Teenage Ministry, Ladies With Radiance, Voice Of Worth and I was awed at the reality that there still exists people in this generation who are standing for God. I started going through many things: I checked @travisgreenetv and his wife's page and the words of knowledge and insight I got there were things I knew were too deep for... I kept going through social media and then I got chatting with Debbie on WhatsApp and we spoke about sexual purity. She shared somethings with me  and that reminded me of an experience I had weeks ago. I was reading Francine Rivers' "Atonement Child" and i was really touched in fact, i almost cried. Then it got to a point in th...

Somebody said something in church yesterday that reminded me of Mr. Cain. You know him now, that man that offered bad fruits to God and was rejected, whereas, his brother offered good offering and was accepted. That is the story we all know, right? Well, let me give you a shock; Cain did not offer bad offerings to God and neither did his brother (Abel) bring something better than he did. If you examine that passage of the Bible well, it was not stated the sort of fruit or better still, farm produce he brought or the state of the produce. All that was stated was that he brought of his farm produce. Genesis 4:3  And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. So, what then made his offering rejected and his brother's accepted? Someone said it was because Abel brought of the firstlings of his flock while Cain did not bring the first produce of his farm. Hmmm, convincing, right? Well, I don't think so, because, I k...
