You are the best of you.

Even every one that is
called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea,
I have made him (Isaiah 43:7).

The reason
many people still find themselves in unpleasant situations is that they have
not come to terms with their identity in Christ Jesus. You must realize that
you aren’t a part of the masses. Though you’re in the world, you’re not subject
to its rules and procedures.

From the day
you were born again, God gave you the ability to become the best of you that
you could be. In Matthew 4:19, Jesus met two fishermen (Peter and Andrew) and
said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men”. What interests
me here is not what they would become (Fishers of men) but that Jesus was the
One making them, and not they trying to become.

Therefore,
the issue isn’t what you’re being made into, but that God is the One making
you. If He makes you, nobody can unmake you! He lives in you to make you become
that dream that you have in your heart. You don’t need money to become what He
wants you to be.

You don’t
have to wait for promotion to take you from one level to another. You are a
child of God and you deserve the best. It doesn’t matter where you begin; what
matters is where you are going. Wake up, rise, shake yourself out of the dust,
and be the person God has ordained you to be because you can!

PRAYER

Dear Lord, thank You for choosing me
out of the world for Your glory. Thank You for the divine ability to become
whatever I want to be. I take advantage of this power that’s at work in me and
I bring forth durable fruit, in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

Invest in yourself .

Posted on June 23, 2011 by Prayer

A hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth
his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered (Proverbs
11:9).

The future
belongs to those who are knowledgeable. That’s one of the reasons I encourage
young people to go to school. Educate yourself; make sure you read the necessary
materials that will enhance your intellectual capabilities. Don’t spend all
your time reading newspaper; otherwise, you’d merely end up in life reading the
news, when you should actually be making the news. Think at a high level.
Refuse mediocrity; polish yourself by opening your mind to current and relevant
information. I’m not just talking about reading international magazines and
listening to international news .I’m talking about activating your mental
processes, using your mind, having a motivation and strong propensity to
acquire more knowledge in order to be excellent, being the best at what you do.

Become
influential. To do that, you have to study. You have to read and improve
yourself by investing in your mind.

There’re
folks who have been through school but haven’t learnt to task their minds. You
see, it’s not enough to know everything in your course curriculum in school;
the world is bigger than your chosen field of specialization. You must begin to task your mind to learn at
least, little about other fields. You must always create the time and
opportunity to learn more. As a child of God, you’re anointed and that
anointing gives you the advantage in life. Therefore, you have the intelligence
and everything it takes to do the necessary homework that will get you ready
for the future.

I’m not
saying you must become a university professor to be successful. No, I’m talking
about you improving your intelligence and your understanding of things in life
around you. In other words, apart from carefully studying your Bible, which is
the number one success manual, train yourself to learn about other fields.
Discipline yourself to acquire knowledge. That way, you’re improving your value
and relevance in today’s world.

PRAYER

Father, thank You for opening my
understanding to learn and acquire the knowledge and skill I require to be
relevant and indispensable in my world, and for granting me knowledge of witty
inventions. My mind is activated to receive the right kind of information
always, in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

Save the children, save your future.

Posted on June 22, 2011 by Prayer

Image via Wikipedia

According to
the Bible, children are a blessing and a gift from the Lord (Psalm 127:3). They
are a gift of trust, and God expects them to be raised in the right manner
(Proverbs 22:6). It’s therefore important that we, as God’s children, give them
special attention and care, whether or not they are our own children. Remember,
children are our extension; they are our future.

God wants us
to give special attention to the destitute children in our inner cities, who
have been left out of the scheme of things. Many of them are frustrated for
lack of opportunities. Our Lord Jesus Himself showed special love to the little
children during His earthly ministry. On one occasion, He rebuked those who
tried to stop the little children from coming to Him (Matthew 19:13-15).

Many of the
little children die every day out of starvation, with nobody to help. Others
are used by their parents or guardians to beg in the streets. When a young
child is made a beggar from a tender age, he would surely become a violent
adult; he would take out his anger and frustration at society. This is the
reason we must do something now. It is the reason we must do something now. It
is our responsibility to reach them and give them hope. You must understand that
when you save the children, you are actually saving your own future, for the
children are our future.

Save the
children. Give of your resources, your finances and your material blessings to
help provide for them. There are several opportunities open to you, if you
would only take up this responsibility. If you save them, you’ll save your
future. You may be the one to save the person who is being programmed from his
youth to destroy. In the same way, you may save a young person who may end up
saving your life from trouble in years to come.

PRAYER

FATHER, I THANK YOU FOR OPENING MY
EYES TO THE CRIES OF THE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD. I YIELD MYSELF TO YOUR SPIRIT
TO RECEIVE INSPIRATION AND IDEAS TO SAVE THE CHILDREN. I PRAY THAT YOU WOULD
GIVE ME MORE AND MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO REACH THE NEEDY CHILDREN, IN JESUS
CHRIST NAME, AMEN!

LEARN TO FORGIVE.

Posted on June 22, 2011 by Prayer

Unforgiveness
will rob you of your effectiveness. It will stop your prayers from being
answered and this is one of the reasons the Lord Jesus instructed us to forgive
before we pray. Thus, to be unforgiving is to walk outside the Will of God.

Unforgiveness
will cause bitterness to spring up in your heart, which in turn will defile you
and those around you (Hebrew 12:14, 15). In such as atmosphere of bitterness
and strife there will be confusion and all manner of evil work (James 3:14-16),
which of course hinders the flow of the miraculous.

He also said
in John 15:7, “If ye abide in me, and my Words abide in you, ye shall ask what
ye will, and it shall be done unto you.” If you don’t forgive those who have
wronged you, you’re not abiding in Him nor are His Words abiding in you.

Remember,
the Lord Jesus wouldn’t have said we should forgive if He thought we couldn’t
do so. You have the God given ability not only to forgive, but also to love
those that have wronged you, no matter how painful or difficult it is, because
that is the Will of God for us!

Forgive your
husband, your wife, your brother, your sister, your parents and your friend;
forgive your boss, your colleagues and others. Forgive those who have wronged
you, no matter how much it hurts. Forgive them now and let God perform a
miracle in your life!

PRAYER

Father, in accordance with Your Word,
I forgive all those who have offended me. I release them from every blame and
bitterness that I have harboured against them, and I begin now to walk in love
towards them in the Name of Jesus Christ My Lord and Saviour, Amen!

Believe in prosperity

Posted on June 20, 2011 by Prayer

Image by dr.nixon via Flickr

You first
step to living in prosperity is to believe in prosperity. I’m greatly concerned
and feel really sorry for Christians who don’t believe in prosperity. Most
times they’re the same that condemn and criticize preachers who teach God’s
Word on prosperity, and that’s sad. Not to believe in prosperity or in the
message of prosperity is not believe in God, because when you study the Bible
carefully, you will discover that the prosperity of the Christian is God
ordained, God’s idea, and God’s greatest desire.

As a matter
of fact, if anyone must question, doubt or get sceptical about the message of
prosperity, it shouldn’t be the Christians. God’s idea is not even that the
Christian should try and become rich; for the Christian has already been made
rich. Moreover, the Christian should make the non-Christians rich by teaching
them how to prosper God’s way.

This is what
the Apostle Paul meant when he said, we make many rich (2 Corinthians 6:10). I
love the way Weymouth New Testament Translation puts it; it says “we bestow
wealth on many”. That’s our calling as Christians. There’s an anointing on us
to make people rich; to make their lives beautiful and prosperous. You’re
called to “bestow wealth on many!”

If you’re a
child of God, believe in prosperity and don’t be apologetic about it. Don’t
accept to be poor or average. You’ve been made rich (2 Corinthians 8:9);
therefore believe in prosperity and prove your faith by refusing to talk lack
and poverty. Instead, keep talking your way to financial abundance!

PRAYER

Thank You Heavenly Father for
ordaining me to be rich! I believe and acknowledge the grace of the Lord Jesus
Christ who though was rich, made Himself poor that I might be made rich. I
accept my prosperity as Your Will and idea for my life in Jesus Christ Name,
Amen!

God Rewards Humility.

Posted on June 19, 2011 by Prayer

Jesus is considered by scholars such as Weber ...

Image via Wikipedia

Although men
look at the outward appearance, God looks on the heart. A humble man has
integrity, he has the wisdom of God and this is why God exalts him. The Bible
says, “…….the wisdom that is from above
is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be willing to yield, full of
mercy and good fruits without partiality and
without hypocrisy” (James 3:17). Humility, therefore, does not mean
timidity or foolishness as some have assumed. It is maturity, and applying the
wisdom of God with all honesty. It is responding to the Word of God with a pure
and teachable heart.

It is
imperative to learn how to deny your flesh of its desires, and let the nature
of God dominate you. Jesus said, “he that taketh not his cross and followeth
after me, is not worthy of me” (Matthew 10:38). When you humble yourself in the
sight of God, no matter how complicated your case may be, He will lift you up.
Job was described as a perfect and upright man, one who feared the Lord and
eschewed evil. He was famous for his wealth, but he lost everything; his
family, wealth and even health. Yet in spite of all these, the Bible noted
Job’s reaction as being without sin, neither did he charge God foolishly.

God has
given you every opportunity to express your love for Him. You might be looking
forward to experiencing a miracle, hoping that someday your heart’s desire
would be fulfilled. You might even be praying for a speedy one, not wanting to
wait as long as Joseph, Sarah, Elizabeth, Job or Jacob. When you look to God
for a miracle, trust His choice, and know that His timing is perfect. However,
there is a quality you must possess that will produce great results, a quality
that other will admire and be inspired by. That quality is humility.

PRAYER

Dear Heavenly Father, I
humble myself under your mighty hand. I receive your Word with meekness and
childlike faith, and I apply my heart to the wisdom that comes from above.
Thank You for the effect of Your Word in me as I exalt Your Word in my life, in
Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

Enjoy your life

Posted on June 5, 2011 by Prayer

Image by prayerfriends via Flickr

When your alarm clock goes off in the morning do you wish you could just stay in bed? Do your struggles and responsibilities weigh you down with frustration, boredom or hopeless? If these sentiments describe the way you feel about life, then you are not enjoying the fullness of life that Christ offers. He is not only our saviour but also our burden-bearer. God wants you to have a much better life – one that you enjoy! God will give you the ability to enjoy life, no matter what.
Here’s how you can enjoy your life
Notice God’s gifts and thank Him for them. Make it a daily practice to thank God for each new day when you wake up from bed.
Throughout the day, keep your mind on the good things in your life for which you’re grateful. Don’t forget to acknowledge basic blessings such as your ability to breathe, eat or smile.
Turn your worries into prayers. Whenever a worry enters your mind, find a promise of God that responds to it and turn it into prayer point. Know that worry can’t accomplish anything good, but faith in the LORD has great power, since nothing is impossible with God!
Be specific as you share your concern with God and trust Him to answer your prayers in the right way at the right time.
Look for fulfilment in the right place. Stop looking for true and lasting satisfaction in the wrong places, such as through your work, personal pleasure or accumulation of knowledge or material possessions. Realize that only God can provide the fulfilment you seek. Make a strong relationship with Him your top priority.
Prayer: Lord, I celebrate your goodness in my life and thank You for Your mercies! Amen!
Psalm 63:1-11.

Have The Right Perception Of God.

Posted on June 3, 2011 by Prayer

Image via Wikipedia

Your perception or revelation of God will determine the way you relate with Him and the kind of life you’ll live. Many have their perception of God tainted by religion, rather than the truth the Scriptures reveal to us about Him. I once visited a certain church and noticed a board on which some kids had attempted to answer the question “Who is God?” The question had been posed by their Sunday school teacher, and one of the kids, in his answer, wrote, “God is a terminator: He can destroy anything and anyone He wants to”
How unfortunate! That young mind already had the wrong opinion of God, from the impression given him by the older generation. Through the years, men have misrepresented God, and this has affected their relationship with Him. In their ignorance, many have attributed unpleasant and tragic incidents to God: They believe God ordained both good and evil. Thus, when for example someone passes on, they’ll say “The Lord gives, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the Name of the Lord!” What a wrong perception of God!
Some even think God took time to select certain people for wealth and some for poverty; some for sickness and others for good health. They believe whatever happens in their lives, good or bad is the will of God. They’ve misunderstood the nature of God, and perceived Him wrongly.
God is good and only does good things: “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of Lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning” (James 1:17). Let this be your perception of Him. The Bible lets us know that He is Love. His ultimate display of love was to save you while you were still a sinner (Romans 5:8). It was His deliberate choice to save you and He did it because of His love nature. He chose to give you all of Himself and everything that belonged to Him because He loves you. He loves you. This is the perception of Him that you ought to have.

PRAYER
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank you for the revelation of your personality unveiled to me through your Word and by the Holy Spirit! I declare that I’m growing in the knowledge of who You are, and thus I’m fruitful and productive in all that I do through Your grace and peace that’s multiplied unto me. In Jesus Christ Name; Amen!

The Bible – God’s special gift to mankind.

Posted on May 30, 2011 by Prayer

Image via Wikipedia

I always love to thank God for giving us the Bible. What a treasure; what a special gift from God to us! Many have questioned the veracity and authenticity of this all – important book through the years. If they only knew how powerful the Bible is and how it has helped to mould individuals and nations, they would have a re-think.
The Bible is the inspired Word of God. It’s the only book in the world that has born the words of Jesus Christ through the ages. Jesus said, “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away” (Matthew 24:35). So you can expect God’s Word as contained in the Bible to remain relevant today, and forever.
Paul, in his letter to Timothy, said “All scripture is given by inspiration of God…..” If you’re going to describe anything as Scripture, then it has to be God – inspired. The Bible is God – inspired. The testimonies from people all over the world, and through the ages give credence to this truth. Many miracles have been wrought and lives changed as a result of studying, meditating and using it. What a wonderful treasure!
The Bible is God’s special gift to us – to build us up and make us His Word. So if there’s anything in life you must possess, let it be copy of the Holy Bible. And not only should you own one, study it regularly and meditate on the Word of God contained therein.

PRAYER
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for giving us Your Word in the written pages of the Bible. I am so grateful Lord, for this wonderful treasure. As I study and meditate on it wholeheartedly today, I’m blessed by Your living Word, and my profiting is evident for all to see, in Jesus Christ Name. Amen!
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works” (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

Communication Deepens Our Fellowship With God

Posted on May 21, 2011 by Prayer

Image via Wikipedia

Every relationship without communication suffers; be it relationship with your children, your spouse, your co-workers, or with God. Communication – good and frequent communication – helps or enhances relationships. If you have a relationship with someone you don’t talk with, that relationship will suffer setbacks. No matter how proximate you may be to the person, without continually exchanging thoughts by talking to each other, your relationship won’t grow.

This is the reason we’re to constantly fellowship with the Lord through prayer. 2 Corinthians 13:14 says “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all.” This is an indication of the kind of relationship we’re to cultivate with the Holy Spirit; a communion; a sharing together. The Father and the Son are in heaven, but the Holy Spirit is here with us. Hence, He’s the God we know and relate with in the earth today, and He lives in us, fostering this extraordinary communion with divinity.

There’s no other way to develop an intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit, aside from communing with Him constantly in prayer, and through meditation on the Word. Consciously create time to talk to and with the Lord the same way you’ll perhaps schedule to talk to a friend, colleague or loved one.

Remember, the Holy Spirit is a person with emotions, will and intellect; therefore relate to Him as such. The highest means of communication with Him is by speaking in tongues; and as you do, He’ll make the presence of God real to you and the miraculous your constant experience.

PRAYER

Dear Holy Spirit, thank You for Your abiding presence that brings glory and beauty to my life. I’m constantly energized from within because You strengthen me with might in my inner man, even as I fellowship with You today. Thank You for Your glorious ministry in my life, in Jesus Christ’s Name, Amen!

Give no place to sickness, disease or infirmity in your body! it’s the temple of the Holy Spirit

As a child of God and a believer in Christ, your body is the temple of The Holy Spirit. But you’re the custodians or caretaker of your body. Thus, you have the right to determine what happens to, and in, your physical body.

As the watchman over your body, it’s your responsibility to give no place to sickness in your body, for you stand to give account to God for whatever you allow or disallow in your physical body. You’re to permit in your body only those things that are consistent with the Word of God for your life. That means you’re to give no place to sickness, disease or infirmity in your body!

Sickness cannot stay in your body if you don’t allow it. Your body can only get sick when you endorse sickness, for until you endorse it, it’s nothing but a mirage. No wonder the Bible says they that dwell in Zion shall not say “I am sick” (Isaiah 33:24). So as one who’s born again refuse to be sick. Take charge and rule over your body with the Word of God; refuse to yield your body to sickness.

When you sense the symptons of sickness in your body, refuse to consider them for they’re nothing but lying vanities. They only become real when you say they are, because what you say is what you get. This is what the Word of God teaches in Mark 11:23, “…he shall have whatsoever he saith.” Therefore, never say “I have headaches,” or “I have the flu,” or “I’ve got migraines,” or I have “diabetes”; never endorse sickness.

What? Know ye not your body is the temple of The Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? (1 Corinthians 6:19)

PRAYER

Heavenly Father, how gracious and loving you are to me. Thank you for making my body the temple of Your Holy Spirit. I’m continually strengthened with might in my inner man as the anointing of Your Spirit runs through every fibre of my being, making me sickness and disease-free, in Jesus’ Name, Amen!

God owns our lives, they aren’t ours

Posted on May 17, 2011 by Prayer

Image via Wikipedia

Instances abound all over the world of people who, out of frustration, took their own live. Their reasons vary from being fed up with life and frustrated with society to outright self-defeat. It’s true that no one takes his own life joyfully, but a closer look would reveal that no matter the justifications, such acts are not only the products of selfishness and self-centredness but also of ignorance of God‘s Word.

As Christians we need to realize that we don’t own our lives, the Bible says we’ve been bought with a price (1 Corinthians 6:20); we belong to Christ. None of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself. So, If you don’t live to yourself, there’ll be no reason to give up on life; there’ll be no reason to be so self-centred as to contemplate suicide.

When the realization that God owns your life dawns on you, you’ll become more concerned with what His purpose is for your life, and the desire to fulfill that purpose would be the staying force of your life. Take a cue from the Apostle Paul, even at a time he was convinced he had fulfilled God’s purpose for his he said, “For what is life? To me, it is Christ. Death, then, will bring more.But if by continuing to live I can do more worthwhile work, then I am not sure which I should choose. I am pulled in two directions. I want very much to leave this life and be with Christ, which is a far better thing; but for your sake it is much more important that I remain alive. I am sure of this, and so I know that I will stay. I will stay on with you all, to add to your progress and joy in the faith” (Philippians 1:21-25). How inspiring! He chose to live to be of benefit to others.

Even if you think you’ve fulfilled God’s purpose for your life, still choose the honourable way of being a blessing to others. To undertake suicide means that one has chosen to live to himself or herself; he or she has decided how long to live and when and how to die. This certainly isn’t the way for a Christian; a Christian should, on no account, contemplate taking his own life, for your life is not yours

For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. For whether we live, we live unto The LORD; and whether we die, we die unto The LORD: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the LORD‘s (Romans 14:7-8)

PRAYER

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you fo making your Word available to me today; Your Word indeed is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path, guiding me in the path of life, to live for your glory, in JESUS CHRIST Name. Amen!!!

Faith makes the difference

Posted on May 17, 2011 by Prayer

Image via Wikipedia

Some christians have asked “How do I receive answers to my prayers?” “I’ve prayed and yet nothing happed,” they’ve complained. Some, in frustration, have given up on prayer completely. If only these folks understood the faith-principle, they wouldn’t experience such frustrations.

God didn’t say if you pray hard enough He’ll answer you; rather, He says “whatever you desire when you pray, believe that you receive them and you shall have them”(Mark 11:24). That’s what faith is all about. You must understand that your requests in prayer don’t take God by surprise; He doesn’t start considering whether or not to answer you at the time you’re praying. Matthew 6:8 says “…..your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask Him”.

If He Already knew what you wanted before you asked, it means He already had the answer prepared. So, what is needed to make the answer real to you is your faith. That’s what makes the difference! In addition, in Luke 12:32, Jesus, assuring us of the Father‘s willingness, eagerness and readiness to answer our prayers said, “Fear not, little flock; for it your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” Therefore, if you asked for somthing and didn’t get the answer when you wanted it, the problem wasn’t with God answering your prayer, perhaps you didn’t know to receive.

God already said when you ask, believe that you receive and you shall have. So, when you put up a request before God, receive what you’re asking for by declaring, “Father I’ve asked for such-and-such, therefore I receive it now in the Name of Jesus.”

Remember, you don’t say “I receive it,” so that you can have it, you receive it because you know and trust that it’s yours Now! That’s faith at work. Faith doesn’t try to get something to happen; faith knows and accepts that it has happened and therefore confess and endorses it to be so NOW!

CONFESSION

I live and walk by faith and not by sight; I’m not moved by what I see, feel or hear; I’m moved only by the Word of God! I declare that my life is going forward and upward only and nothing is impossible unto me. Hallelujah! Amen!

We love doing God’s work: An opportunity for selfless services

Posted on April 27, 2011 by Prayer

OPPORTUNITY, SELFLESS SERVICE

When a door is shut in your face, look back, for many openings await you.

No man is so poor as to have nothing worth giving: as well might the mountain

stream lets say they have nothing to give the sea because they are not rivers.

Give what you have.

To someone it may be better than you dare to think.
