It took me years to realise that my desire is not enough to pursue God’s calling over my life. I knew bible verses, listen to other’s story and I even received straight instructions from God, which I desire to obey but I guess I was too comfortable to move, so I kept falling back.

I prayed so long for God to give me the zeal to please Him, and it looked like the more I prayed the more I felt it was impossible to do what I was suppose to do. There were times I just gave up because, I just couldn’t put myself together to live up to God’s expectations of me.

In a world where there are so many voices, pressure and distraction: even your availability is not enough in fulfilling purpose in life.

As Christians when it comes to anything that has to do with pleasing our God, the devil is always ready to devise schemes to distract us from that path because, he knows that your obedience to God’s word can cause destruction to his kingdom.

Trust me the devil knows the grace and anointing over your life and he knows the impact your obedience can have on generations, if he allows you.

So, to keep you off track God’s will, he devises ways to cripple you with the fleeting pleasures of the world or distract you with problems that Jesus has already overcome on the cross.

God doesn’t force His will on you he watches you closely till you are ready to resist the devil and put him in his place.

Your desires will have to be translated into the commitment for the Holy Spirit to takeover . Commitment starts with the heart, once you put your heart into what God has called you to do, your whole being will align with it. When you develop passion for that calling ,there are sacrifices involved.

Commitment takes effort. One has to actively make an effort to pursue his or her purpose .You should believe that God has equipped you for the task at hand, so you need to take steps of faith and act. Commit time, prayer and fasting , hear from God, learn, adjust your lifestyle and believe God for success.

Philippians 2: 13: “ For it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His pleasure”

Once you are ready to commit your ways to the Holy Spirit, who is our ever present help, He will begin to guide you to the perfect will of God concerning your call.

Surrender all your ways to the Holy Spirit, and He will partner with you in fulfilling your God given destiny. Give room to the Holy Spirit to work on your heart, and stop trying to figure everything out on your own. Partner with the Holy Spirit for the anointing and the glory over your calling.

it is not about what people say or how people receive you but it’s about obedience towards your purpose . Living up to the expectation of God towards your calling, position you to experience God’s glory through the Holy Spirit.
With the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you won’t only be successful but you will be fulfilled .

John 14 : 26 : “But the helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the father will send in my name, He shall teach you all things and bring all things in your remembrance whatsoever I have said unto you”.

PRAY WITH ME

Thank you Father Lord for considering me worthy of your calling. Forgive me for always relying on my strength.
Sweet Holy Spirit, come and work on my heart to understand the weight of my calling. Guide me and instructs me, so I won’t only please man but most importantly be a faithful servant to my Heavenly Father.
This and many more I pray in Jesus name.
Amen

Sometime unknowingly to us, majority of our decisions is controlled by what others think about us. We get so desperate to impress, that we move off our purpose. Our entire life can be defined by public opinion to the extend that, we take impulsive decisions.

Weighing things to see if the price is worth the value is a normal part of humans. You don’t want to buy something at a heavy price just to watch it give you problems later. Things may look more attractive to grab but you just don’t hop on it without making a decision to see whether it is worth our attention or not.
We may know the consequences of our actions but we choose to ignore it or hope it turns out better to our favour. Choose the battles you want to fight and analyse if the price to be paid is worth the value.

As part of the devil’s distractive plans, he hides the price (consequences), and makes the offer attractive to have. The world can be too loud to the extent that, we sometimes don’t pay attention or ignore the details of the consequences of our actions before we act.

Proverbs 14 :12 “There Is a way that seems right unto men but the end therefore is the ways of death”

Don’t expose yourself to an influence that is distractive, but be intentional about what action you want to pay attention to. We have the free will to choose but be reminded that there’s consequences to every actions or inactions and ignorance is surely not an excuse to escape from the consequences. We always have the right to choose but we won’t have total control of the consequences of our choices.

The devil, if allowed can blind our eyes and deceive us Into taking actions that doesn’t magnify our Lord. At the expense of our God-given destinies, we seek comfort and enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sins, the results of this is too costly to bare, ignoring the narrow way just because the broad way looks attractive is deadly.

Allow the Holy Spirit to help you discern in your decision making process, not only will you be delivered from expensive mistakes but you will also be in the perfect will of God. Be intentional about the decision you want to take because ignorance is costly and regret is avoidable, so be divinely guided.

Confess to yourself everyday that “ I’ll be productive”, pray for the Holy Spirit to help you stay focus on the right goals, and help you cut all forms of distractions, so you can fix your eyes on Jesus, who will reveal to you the hidden mysteries of the world one which eyes has not seen nether has ears heard .
The devil’s destructive schemes used to prey on your destiny will be uncovered and you’ll surely be set free.

Pray with me
Our God and Heavenly father thank you for your word that has come forth to deliver me from ignorance. Father forgive me for making excuses and not paying attention to making godly decisions. Holy spirit I ask that, You influence my life and renew the right spirits within me. Lead me in taking godly decisions and bring me into God’s perfect will. This and many more I pray in the mighty name of Jesus.
Amen.

The only thing God cannot do is to worship Himself, that is why you and I were created. Worship does not have to be only through music but it’s a lifestyle. Worship is honouring God and giving Him reverence above everything. Our daily actions and words as Christians, always has to be an act of worship.

Maybe life hasn’t been particularly fare to you, and you feel let down by God because God hasn’t done anything to intervene and because of this, you think there is nothing to be thankful about and God is definitely not worth your honour.
Worship is not about what God has done for you but it’s about: acknowledging His sovereignty, awesomeness, uniqueness and how great and mighty He is. Decide to put yourself in a position, where you forget about what you are going through and admire the handiwork of God.

The omnipresent, the omnipotent and the omniscience God, He has, is and will always be the mighty King of kings, greater than any other gods . For none, I mean none can be compared to Him. All these so called gods, people have empowered cannot out power our Almighty God. That’s being said: Worship is a lifestyle, so leave every single minute worshipping God’s greatness.

Psalm 66 1-4 “ Make a joyful noise unto God, all you lands. 2. Sing forth the honour of His name: make His praise glorious.3 Say unto God, how awesome are you in your works! Through the greatness of your power, shall your enemies submit themselves unto you. 4.All the earth shall worship you, and shall sing unto you : they shall sing to Your name. Selah”

Don’t let the problems of this world rob you the opportunity to be intentional and unintentional about screaming the awesomeness of our mighty God. For He is good and worthy of our praise. Don’t be in a hurry to always ask God to bless you with the things He knows you need and has already made provision even before you realise you need it.

Take sometime out to shower praises on Him, for who He is because He deserves it. Make Him feel special through your words and actions. Defy all odds and go that extra mile from the depth of your soul to worship Him for who He truly is not what He can do for you.
Think about all His attributes and worship him.

Meditate on His word and sing His praise daily . Count your blessings one by one and declare His name to the world.
Amidst challenges remember who He is ,bust into laughter, give Him a worship dance, look up to the sky and wink at Him, knowing He got you always.

Pray with me

Our Lord and heavenly father, I thank you for this word, Father thank you for the opportunity to be alive to worship You, please forgive me if I have taken You for granted and also forgive me for allowing problems to sink in too deep to the point where I forget to acknowledge You for who You are you. Father,please give me the grace to always acknowledge and praise your glorious name and be grateful always. This and many more I pray in the name of Jesus .Amen

How do I start? Why is life so complicated? I thought I heard clearly from God to pursue this dream?
My strength is failing, I am weary and I am loosing it. JESUS HAVE YOUR WAY

Humans have the natural tendency to pursue success. We always want to live a fulfilling and accomplished life but when things get tough, we tend to think that :success is guaranteed for some specific people and we give up.

As born-again Christians, our narrative can differ, only if we are truly looking up to Jesus for help. Jesus is our ever-present help in times of need, our calm and peace in the midst of the fear and anxiety and our hope during the tough and wretched moments of our lives.

Move at Jesus’ pace. Focus on Him a day at a time. Commit everyday into His hands whiles you do your part. He will direct and guide your every step to success
Psalm 37 :5 “Commit your way to the LORD, trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass”
Psalm 55 :22 “Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken”.
Commit your ways to the Lord and He will establish you and bring you to an expected end. His ways are not our ways and thoughts are not our thoughts but be rest assured that our God Almighty is too faithful and able to set you up for failure.

Always imagine Jesus holding your hands through the tough times and have faith that He will never leave or forsake you. As you keep praying, believing, confessing and genuinely waiting on Jesus, He will give you wisdom, strength, right helpers and all the physical and spiritual backing you need for the task before you.

He knows your weakness and limitations that is why He said: ‘it finished’, so be encouraged that you are starting from the finished line with great cloud of witnesses cheering you on, with a daily supply of help from the King of kings.

On your journey with Jesus, you may not know when but trust His timing, you may how but trust His process.

Pray With Me

Our Lord and Heavenly Father thank you for the hope I have in You, am grateful for your finished work on the cross. Father, am sorry for all the times I have doubted you. My prayer today is for You to increase my Faith in you, so I will trust your processes and timing. This and many more I pray in the name of Jesus.

Amen

You know that feeling, when a loved one is so close but yet far? That persistent desire where you badly want to be close to someone but there are so many factors that put limitations on the relationship. You know what they say; a healthy relationship can be establish if the parties involved are willing to invest time and effort into it.

As Christians, our relationship with God depends on how far we are willing to get close to Him, because God doesn’t force His will on us. The good news is that: we have a father and a friend in God, and He is ever ready to draw close to us, if we are willing to surrender to Him.

The devil can make us weak spiritually, to the extent that, we lose the desire and strength to reaching out for God or we become indifferent about the things of God. There have been times in my life, where I did spiritual checkups and realize that there was something missing in my walk with God, those are times I immediately ask the Holy spirit to deliver me from any form of limitations ,revive and increase the first love zeal to yearn for my heavenly Father.

The decision depends on you, if you want to restore the broken fellowship with God. Just like the prodigal son in Luke 15: 11-32, he made a decision to turn back to his father and having a father who no matter the depth of your mistakes, is willing to accept you just as you are. God has His arms always widely open to give you that warm welcome.

No matter how far you have gone, Jesus has already paid for your journey back to God. God is not surprise by your mistakes and He hasn’t given up on you yet, so therefore take that intentional step to turn back to Him and He will see you through your comeback journey.

Mind you, the decision to turn back to God will definitely be fought by the devil, the devil will never make that choice easy. He will distract you, just to ensure that you either loose interest or keep you desiring but not taking any significant steps in drawing close to God.

With The help of the Holy Spirit, turn away from the fleeting pleasures of sin, break loose from the weakness of the flesh, resist the temptation of the devil, and he will flee. And don’t be deceived, acknowledgement of your mistakes(sins) is a step but turning away from it in true repentance is the real deal.

Pray with Me
My Lord and Heavenly Father thank you for your love and mercies towards me, Father I acknowledge I have gone far from you and I pray you restore to me the joy of my salvation and renew the right Spirit within me. Holy Spirit,please influence my decisions in Jesus’ name. AMEN
