GET READY FOR THE DELIVERY ROOM

Image
1 Timothy 2:15 KJV [15] Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety. When a pregnant woman arrive at the hospital, delivery nurse or midwives will ask questions about her contractions, check her vital signs, assess her contractions, and see how the baby is doing before taking her to the delivery room. The Delivery Room is a special unit in the hospital where pregnant women give birth to babies. You have a part to play in the delivery room so also do the midwives. You have to be prepared before going there and the midwives too will be prepared, putting everything that is needed in place to ensure safe delivery. The delivery room God has prepared is for men and women (no age limit) where greatness in form of ideas, innovations, business, transformation and so on can be given birth to. Note that only those that have conceived can visit the delivery room. So get ready to conceive great wonders by the help of the Holy ...

PLANNING FOR WONDERS

Image
Luke 14:28 KJV [28] For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it ? Welcome to year 2023, year of Birthing Great Wonders and your month of Opportunities. This year will yield her increase to you depending on your readiness. It can’t birth beyond what you can comprehend. There is going to be a heavy downpour of blessings but the container with which you receive is what becomes yours not the heaviness of the downpour. Plan how much of the wonders you want to experience and the area of life where you want it. Be intentional about what you want this year. Don’t worry about unfinished goals and set backs last year or what you didn’t embark on. This new year is an opportunity to start afresh.  The dictionary defines planning as a set of actions that have been thought of as a way to do or achieve something. Planning therefore can be said to be a process of thinking through how to achieve a set goal. To ...

MYSTERY OF PREPARATION

Image
  2 Chronicles 27:6 KJV [6] So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the Lord his God. Preparation is something done to get ready for an event or what is to come. It is thinking through. It is becoming adequately ready for what is desired. Only those who prepare their ways make waves. Spiritual preparation determines physical results. Heart preparation determines earth manifestation. God prepared for everything He did and we can only be like our Father 1Cor2:9. Redemption was not after thought. God prepared to redeem us before we were born or committed any sin. Creation wasn’t stumbled into. It was prepared for and done systematically Prov8:27-30. That’s why nobody builds without having a drawing of the design. That’s part of the preparation for building.  Preparation has no substitute in life adventure. You hardly get stranded even in the face of obstacles when you prepare. Your preparation determines your result. Preparation is something God holds highly....

GIVING LOVE

Image
John 3:16 KJV [16] For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. You can give without loving but you can’t love without giving. It is more blessed to give than to receive. Whatever we sow has a way of returning to us. It leaves our hands but it doesn’t leave our lives. It goes into the future to multiply and wait for us. Giving is my favorite past time. I get fulfilled being a blessing. My husband called me one day in the office and said he had a leading to sow the BMW 3 series we bought 6 months before then to a man of God and his family. The only thing I could say was, go ahead, the life of a man does not consist in the abundance of what he possesses. God meets our need per time. Money and possessions must not have a hold over us.  No matter what I’m given, I make it a point of duty to ensure someone benefits from it. We have brought nothing into the world and won’t take anything out o...

Praise Power

Image
Isaiah 43:21 KJV [21] This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise. Showing forth the praise of God is what God requires of us irrespective of what we are faced with. This is because praise is a powerful weapon that commands the supernatural. God is always on duty when genuine praise emanates from us. It is easy to praise God when everything is fine. However when we are faced with challenges, we may find it difficult to praise God but that is when praise should break forth from us. Praise in the face of storm is not acknowledging the storm but the One who is able to calm the storm.  Paul and Silas were accused falsely and beaten unjustly, chained and locked up in the prison. Common sense demands that they feel bad and depressed, but they knew better so they chose to call the attention of the God who is able to do all things. At midnight, when they should be sleeping, Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God. Acts 16:26 KJV [26] And suddenly there wa...

STAY IN HIS HANDS

Image
  Psalm 139:10 KJV [10] Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. Everything that is born of God is always attacked by the enemy because he knows there’s a glorious future ahead. However don’t be moved by the tantrums the devil throws at you. The accuser of brethren wants to make you feel you don’t qualify for God’s blessings. It is Jesus that qualified you not your works. God who determined He will do something significant in your life will not renege. Delay is not denial. God is always on time.  Even though men have written you off, or forsaken you. Even if you feel like you are a failure or a loser. Even if you feel you are not where you are supposed to be. Even if your value, self esteem and courage has been eroded.  Even when you feel broken and dejected. Like the clay in the hand of the potter, He will make you again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it. For as long as you are in His hands, God will perfect all that conc...

IT’S NOT TOO LATE FOR A MIRACLE

Image
  John 11:21-22 KJV [21] Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. [22] But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. Welcome to the month of December 2022. So many things happened this year, through it all, the Lord kept you and I. Despite all the difficulties, there are good things that God has done and is still doing. It is what we focus on that is magnified. Your attitude determines your altitude. Begin this month with a heart of gratitude and complete trust in God. If God has done anything in your life this year, He’s able to do much more. There is so much that can still be accomplished before this year runs out.  Lazarus was sick in John chapter 11. His family sent for Jesus. By the time He got there, Lazarus had been dead four days. The family could have buried him, though they agreed he was already stinking at that time but even in the worse situation, they still had hope that Jesus could d...

BE ENCOURAGED (4) STORIES BEHIND THE HYMNS "Great Is Thy Faithfulness"

Image
  Lamentations 3:22 KJV [22] It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. The words of some hymns spring not from a traumatic occurrence in a writer's life but in the midst of the daily routine. That is just the case in the writing of one of the 20th century's most loved hymns: "Great Is Thy Faithfulness." The words of many of our favorite hymns are born out of life-changing experiences. Thomas Chisholm was born in a simple log cabin in Franklin, Kentucky, in 1866. Lacking a high school education or any college training, he became a school teacher at the age of 16 and later entered the newspaper business. The following years found him ordained a pastor, but poor health forced him to leave the ministry. After a time of recuperation, he moved to New Jersey to work as an insurance agent. A prolific writer of poetry, he sent a collection of his poems in 1923 to his good friend William Runyan, a musician associated with Chicag...

BE ENCOURAGED (3) STORIES BEHIND THE HYMNS “All The Way My Saviour Leads Me.”

Image
2 Corinthians 12:9 KJV [9] And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Most songs were borne out of a faith journey that was often punctuated with various trials. Hardships inform our faith through the experience of God’s grace at work in our lives. Many of us have crossed over many difficult times in our lives and we question how we got over. It could only have been by the grace of God. This great hymn was written by Fanny Crosby (1820–1915). When Fanny was 6 wks old, she caught a slight cold & had inflamed eyes. The family physician was away. Another country doctor was called in to treat her. He prescribed hot mustard poultices to be applied to her eyes, which destroyed her sight completely! It was later learned that the man was not even qualified to practice medicine. Fanny never felt any resentment against him, but be...
