REJECT LIES

-



John 8:44 KJV

[44] Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.


Lies can be defined as intentionally false statement. Something that is not true, involving deception or founded in a mistaken impression. It can come from someone to you. It can be by you or it can from your thoughts. The devil comes to you by dropping silly thoughts or ideas subtly in your mind. He attacks the mind. Everything that comes from the devil is a lie. He is the father of all liars. There is no truth in him. The only way he finds expression is when you agree with his lies. Anytime two people agree on a thing, there is always a quick manifestation. Don’t agree with any lie the devil tells you. It is only the thought of God towards you that is good. Cancel any strange thing that drops in your mind. The things that should find expression in your life are truth. The things that God has promised you in His word. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. The devil wants you to be frustrated and give up. His mission is to steal, to kill and to destroy. Don’t allow him still your joy. You will never knowingly allow or invite a thief to your house, so why will you allow strange thoughts that steal your joy and peace of mind. He keeps reminding you that the year is running to an end and you have nothing to show for it. That is not true because God will surely crown your year with goodness and drop fatness in your path. Equip yourself with the promises of God and speak it loudly to yourself. The devil came to Jesus quoting the scriptures (not accurately though), even when it sounded like it was true, Jesus knew better and countered him with the Scripture. He doesn’t know but wants you to believe he knows. You are an ambassador of Jesus. You are a god. You can only be like your father and speak like Him. Refuse to be manipulated or confused by the lies of the enemy. You will testify this year. Your joy will be full and your testimony will be complete. You are destined for greatness so don’t give up. 

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
