Realities and Truth

2 Kings 6:5-6 KJV [5] But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed. [6] And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither; and the iron did swim. Restoration is the action of returning something to a former owner, place or condition. Replacing or repairing to it’s original state. Everyone has had to lose, misplace or spoilt something at one point or the other and desired a replacement or recovery of such. If it’s something you can replace, you go ahead and replace it immediately but there are some things that you have lost and desire a replacement but you have no control over. Like the sons of prophet in the above scripture. They borrowed an axe and while felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water. The axe had to be returned to the owner. A miracle was needed for the recovery of the axe head and it happened. An iron axe head that was sup...

2 Corinthians 9:10-11 KJV [10] Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;) [11] Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God. Everyday is a gift but do we see it as such? If so how do we respond to what we are grateful for? Sometimes we’re so engrossed in the race of life that we take little things that really matter for granted. It can be the people around you or the things that you have. Life is too tender to be taken for granted. When you are able to stretch your body, turn your head, breathe, bathe yourself, clothe yourself, eat what you like and take decisions, you may not appreciate it as much as you should until you are not able to do one of those things you have been doing. Nothing matters to a sick person than to be healthy. No matter what you are faced with and where you are, someone desires to be there.    ...

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 a...

1 Thessalonians 5:18 KJV [18] In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. We thank the Lord for bringing us to the end of the first half of the year 2021. A whole lot has happened this year. So much uncertainty and insecurity, yet the Lord has been gracious to us. If you have lost one thing, God is the reason for not losing everything. Some times we cry we have no shoes, while there are people without feet. If we can not think, we can not thank God . People of God we have reasons to be glad irrespective of what we are faced with. This month may come to an end, the first half of the year may come to an end, the word the Lord has given you has no end. It doesn’t expire. God is never late. God has given you life because He is not done with you. He still has a plan for you. Look at the things that God has done for you in this first half. Count your blessings one by one and come to Him with a heart of thanksgiving, knowing if He did those ones, He...

Psalm 103:13 KJV [13] Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him. Father’s Day is a time set aside to honor and appreciate fathers and father figure in our lives and their influence. The third Sunday in June has been set aside every year for this celebration. Fathers give so much sacrifice but are not usually appreciated the way they should. Honoring our fathers is a command with promise. A good father is one of the most unsung, unpraised, unnoticed and yet one of the most valuable assets in our society. In view of this I choose to celebrate fathers, physical and spiritual in this write up. A father’s quality reflects God’s character. I want us to look at the qualities of great fathers.  -A great father knows he must sacrifice his own comfort for his fatherly duties. -A father’s love can be tough but he means well. -A great father knows that mistake is part of learning but refuses constant mistakes that is a sign of irresponsibility  -A great...

John 8:29 KJV [29] And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him. Being in the presence of the Lord is having access to the realm of the supernatural, where all things are possible. We need the presence of the Lord more than ever before. There’s so much unrest and invasion in many nations of the world. The wisdom of man has failed and is still failing. It is only the presence of the Lord that can make the difference and the necessary changes that we need. The ministry of Jesus was successful because His Father did not leave Him. God is omnipresent, He is everywhere but we must desire His manifest presence in our lives. Joseph was in a foreign land as a slave, yet the presence of the Lord was with Him and made all that he did to prosper. His master also acknowledged the presence of God in his life. We all need the presence of the Lord such that unbelievers will agree the the presence of Hod in our lives. The presence of t...

James 1:12 KJV [12] Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. Welcome to the month of June. This month will be to us a month of open doors and divine opportunities in Jesus name. It’s always a special month to me as it is my 26th wedding anniversary on the 3rd and my 51st birthday on the 4th.    It has not been a very smooth ride but I’m grateful to God that in the midst of storms, He always showed up. He didn’t promise that there won’t be issues we can’t handle but He promised to show up and when He does, He calms the storm. There will always be ups and downs but His grace is always sufficient. Don’t give up, there’s no mountain that He cannot move. God is at work. The Lord will fight for you. He will perfect all that concerns you. The journey ahead is still far, your strength will not abate and your faith will not fail. Hold on tenaciously to the pillar that holds...

Philippians 4:6 KJV [6] Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. In continuation of the write up last week, I feel so impressed in my spirit to continue where i stopped. We looked at the fact that the relevance and out come of things depends on whose hands it is. It is important to know how to place things in the right place, it makes things easier when we put things where they should be and makes one more organized and effective. It allows you spend less time looking for items. When you know where you have kept something, you just go there to pick it up and you’ll be at rest knowing it’s in a safe place. Items dropped in the wrong place over time eventually become a big task clearing or cleaning up. Same thing goes for issues we are faced with. Where we place issues determine a lot in our lives, if not we find ourselves under pressure, restless and unable to sleep. Learn to lay aside anything that...

1 Peter 5:7 KJV [7] Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. I listened to something that blessed me on the importance of where we place things and I thought to share it. If you take a basket ball and put it in my hands, it’s worth a little but if you put it in the hands of a professional like LeBron James it’s worth millions. If you take a gulf club and put it in my hands, it’s worth will just be the selling price but if you put it in the hands of Tiger Woods, it is worth several million dollars. It depends on whose hands it is in. A rod in my hands may just be something to play around with but in the hands of Moses, it parted the Red Sea. A sling shot in my hand becomes something to toy with but in the hands of David, it slayed Goliath.    Five loaves and two fish will probably just be a meal for few. Putting it in the hands of Jesus, it fed thousands and still had twelve baskets left over. Nails fastened to my hands on a wood will lead to loss of blood, if not...
