A GLORIOUS SECOND HALF

-

Philippians 3:13 KJV

[13] Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,


Welcome to the month of July, the first month of the second half of the year. It’s a month of divine visitation. It promises to be a glorious month and an awesome second half. We all know that during the half time in a football match, the players and the coach assess the performance in the first half. After the evaluation, they come up with strategies as to how to improve on their performance and win in the second half. We also need to do some evaluation and sorting. Do away with things that are not working or that represents time waters. Don’t let your mistakes or your pasts drown you. Focus your energy on what will propel you towards your goal. Don’t relent, don’t be discouraged. Affirm that this is your season and everything will work together for your good. The Lord that visited Hannah and a woman who had passed menopause will visit you in this second half of the year and show you kindness in Jesus name. Be expectant. What you are not expecting, you are not permitted to experience. Expect great visitation, breakthroughs and testimonies. Hold on to the word that the Lord has given you. Take God at His word. When you go through storms, it’s not a time to pull over, it’s a time to move forward. Go forward in the face of that Red Sea. Raise your staff. Don’t despise what you have. Keep your eyes on Jesus, that way nothing will make you sink. The Lord will visit you as He had said and do unto you as He spoken. 

Shalom

Uncontrollable Circumstances of life

I woke on the 4th of June which was my birthday with a heart of thanksgiving. I honestly have so many reasons to thank God looking at the goodness of God in my life. It was a Sunday and the church celebrated me, coupled with the fact that the day before was our 28th wedding anniversary. So it was double celebration characterized with so much singing and dancing, giving glory to God.  Usually my parents will call early to sing and pray, which was their custom for all their children and grandchildren, but they didn’t call me. I assumed it was because it was a Sunday and they knew we will be getting ready for church.  After service I called to ask why they didn’t call me, my mom said I should put that aside. They prayed for me. I spoke with my mom thrice that day, the last was 6pm when she called saying she will be going to buy something. I said I’ll come the following day to take since she prefers I drive her instead of her driver, but she said I shouldn’t bother. My dad called me at 8:3

DON’T GIVE UP

  Challenges and dificulties are unavoidable. They come whether you are walking in God’s will or not. Sarah, Hannah and Elizabeth had to contend with barrenness. We all have to contend with one challenge or the other at every point in life.  When you are faced with difficult situations, do you give up or walk through? A very good example of a person that persevered is Abraham Lincoln. He failed some many times but he pushed past his failures and eventually became the 16th president of the United States. His name is known till date because he didn’t give up. Life is full of experiences that will make you swim or sink.    Don’t wait to learn to swim when the boat is at verge of capsizing. God is always willing to walk us through every difficult situation. Build a strong relationship with God before crises.  Faith believes what it can’t see which is contrary to the world standard. People can easily relate with what they can see that is why they state the obvious. Always see the light at t

COUNT IT ALL JOY

  James 1:2-3 KJV - My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. Contrary to the normal human mindset, we are instructed to count our trials and temptations as joy. This is kingdom mindset, not the world’s. God’s plan is to use our trials to make us grow and to strengthen us.    This looks impossible to the natural man. That is why the scriptures the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. Those trials try our faith and produce patience in you. Faith is built as you hear the word of God, but trials reveal how much faith you have. Faith is tested through trials but not produced by trials. Counting your trials as joy is a way of expressing your faith and it shows whether you are focusing on the trial or on God. When you focus on God, it depicts your trust in Him and empowers you to giv
