Our Proclivity as  humans is such that we are uncomfortable with what we cannot control.  We seek to control things and their outcomes. We feel weak or consider it to be weakness when we are not in complete control, so the idea of absolute trust in God whom we don’t see often is a challenging one for so many people. However, Proverbs 4 vs. 1 – 7 admonish us to Trust in the LORD with all of our hearts and…

There are many things we do so religiously that we often forget their true essence.  One of such is prayer. Prayer is not just a Divine command, it is fundamentally a way of life. For by it, we express worship and praises to God. By prayer we demonstrate our Dependence and Faith in the Living God through Christ. Prayer is a Transformative agency – meaning that in the place of prayer God not only answer us, He changes us by…

Words are central to life experiences.  Words convey our deepest Faith, worries, and fears. By our Words we build relationships and by our words we tear them down. Words are Spirit and by them we create the atmosphere we live in. The power of Words cannot be over emphasized. It is therefore imperative that we understand that Words are keys to life and life’s outcomes. As such, we must learn to speak graciously.  Allowing yourself to judge the outcome and…

By Divine Design and Economy, no individual is worthless nor valueless. However, we stamp our significance by how Fruitful we are in life. Our relevance is a by product of our sustained Fruitfulness. God has Designed us to be Fruitful. Fruitfulness is essential for sustained influence. It is therefore imperative that we understand ( John 15 vs. 1 – 7 & Gal. 5 vs. 22 – 23). Kingdom Grace Fruits of Healing which the Holy Spirit produces in us is…

Perspective and insight are critical factors that creates understanding and approach.  Understanding and approach are determinants of passion. When you understand prayer as a Transformative agent, it inform how you respond to divine answers.  The challenge is that we often come to the place of prayer with the mindset that it is all about things, circumstances and people.  So, we pray in hopes that things will change and don’t get me wrong, God answers prayers and changes things via the…

We often feel that there are certain ask or commands of the LORD that are difficult to obey, but truly all that the LORD has asked of us are easy and are for our good. Loving those who opposes you or hate you is one way to keep your heart free from bitterness and unforgiveness.  As you know the love spoken of here is Agape  – Meaning that you do good to those you hate you when it is in…

There are times in life we come to the place where we are overwhelmed, beaten down, and everything seems to work against us.  Our view of life becomes that which is shadow driven as we are fogged by the invisibilities caused by the Storms of life. We come to those moments that the Psalmist declared in Psalm 42 ” Why are you cast down oh my soul?” For the enemy ask me day and night ” Where is your God?”…

As He Christ is in Heaven, so are we here on Earth is often quoted in reference to power and authority among the pentecostal and Charismatic movement. But, contextually, I John 4vs.17 is addressing the true nature of Christ Love. Love that is foremost pure, righteous and holy in all of its actions.  Love that is empathetic and understanding in all of its disposition towards the recipient. God is love and anyone who claims to be in God and yet…

Within the Design and Economy of God, you are created as a solution to your world.  The idea of looking to others as those who have the answer to the issues around you is foreign to God’s agenda for your life. Throughout scripture, God always ask the question” What is in your habds”? Meaning that when God looks at the situations you are confronted by, He sees you as the one He God has invested the Grace of solving it…

We live in a world where the concept of love is so much misconstrued that it seems to have lost it true meaning.  Most of the wrongs that people do, are done to those whom they claimed to love. It leaves one with the impression that love in its purist form may no longer exist. However, true love does exist and it is not just an action or words that people say, true love is a Person and that person…
