DRY AND LUKEWARM

Good intention, the desire, partial obedience and partial commitment are not enough in pleasing God. We cannot serve God using your own terms and conditions. As born-again Christians we have to be intentional about our growth and walk with God. God never forces His will on us, so we have to be faithful in giving ourselves wholly to the relationship with Him.

Being intentional about your walk with God is all about being discipline and committed with the relationship with God, being prayerful, letting the word of God be your guide and commanding your flesh to submit to your spirit. As a born-again Christian, we are suppose to pay much attention to the needs of our spirit. You can’t be pleasing your flesh and expect God to be happy with you

Galatians 5;16-17  16 What I say is this: let the Spirit direct your lives, and you will not satisfy the desires of the human nature. 17 For what our human nature wants is opposed to what the Spirit wants, and what the Spirit wants is opposed to what our human nature wants. These two are enemies, and this means that you cannot do what you want to do

The devil can strategically lure you into thinking your position you hold in church, your church attendance and once a while giving to the poor is the best you can offer to God and a higher level of commitment is preserve for certain category of people. The devil will make you think going all out for God is not an option and you will miss out of the fun in the world if you go all out for God, he will make you take compromising decisions  and make you shy to confess your faith to people around you. The devil will limit you and dictate to you the extent of the relationship he wants you to have with your creator. This makes you dry and powerless by this you can not experience Jesus wholly because the Holy spirit is not having His way fully

Revelation 3 :16 But since you are lukewarm and not hot or cold, I’m going to spit you out of my mouth.

You can quote scriptures and have knowledge about God’s Word but the application of it will be a burden to you. It doesn’t matter how long you have been a Christian for, it is the impact of the word of God in your life that matters.

Lukewarm Christians are so gullible, predictable and shallow to the extent that the devil uses them to make a statement to mock God. The grace and power given to all Christians lies dormant within them and the devil tosses such Christians around as and when he pleases. 

It is just a matter of time the devil whose intention is to steal your from God, destroy and  kill your God’s given destiny and lead you to hell will be done with you and when all is said and done you will give account  to your creator on how you lived here on earth.

PRAYER

Heavenly Father as we repent and submit our ways to your word, may we receive power over our flesh and may we experience a different dimension of You. God we pray for wisdom to break the power of the devil over my life and may our life be pleasing unto you   in Jesus’s name we pray AMEN

WHILES ON OTHERS THOU ART CALLING

We all have 24 hours, 7 days a week and 12 months a year but the opportunities presented to us are not distributed equally and sometimes there is a tendency to feel cheated, jealous or discouraged when we see or hear of other people’s success or achievement.

Normally the mistake some of us Christians make is to compare our race and destiny to others but we forget that: the path God chooses for us to fulfil our purpose on earth differs from each other and comparing your race to others simply means you don’t trust God enough to perfect the things that concerns you.

There is time and seasons for everything on earth, so whiles in your waiting season, maximize the season by doing what the Holy spirit has led you to do. Don’t waste the time away by getting emotional and anxious all day.

Let Him be the peace in your storm. Find comfort in the fact that He has your back you and He can never be too late for the appointed time

See your waiting period as God’s time to get you prepared for your blessing. Even the miracle you are expecting needs grace to be maintained. Your anxiety and negative emotions in your waiting season will not allow you to prepare and trust God’s process and timing. During this waiting period this is where the devil play with our minds the most because he wants us to give up on God promises and doubt God capabilities

The bible says Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
I encourage you today to build up your faith and fix your eyes on Jesus, the founder and the perfecter of your faith

Galatians 6: 9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

Believe God for the grace to wait upon Him and whiles in your waiting period do not murmur but continue to avail yourself to be led by the Holy spirit.

 No matter how events keep turning out, know the God you have entrusted my life into , so far as you have totally surrender to Him and you are being led by the Holy Spirit God will surely come through for you, His timing and plans are perfect.

Father Lord, as your children are going through challenging times in their lives, show them the way to go, may their faith in You be strengthen and may they not compromise with their walk with You. May every lesson that we are supposed to learn whiles we are going through these trying times be learnt in Jesus’ Name AMEN

Be Christfullness

When Faith Is Failing

Have seemingly impossible situations in life make you question God’s word, capabilities and intentions towards your life? Have you gotten a point in your life where you have thought to yourself that :God has just decided not to answer your prayer. You may, sometimes read all the promises of God related to your circumstances and ask God when is it your turn to receive these promises. Sometimes things can actually get worse as you believe and anytime you talk to God about it,He reassures you and makes reference to Romans 8: 28 “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God and to them who are called according to his purpose”.

And after reading this powerful scripture, you ask yourself what is the ‘good’ in your current situation Trust God with your situation for He says in Jeremiah 29: 11 “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosperyou and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future”. No matter how events are turning out, know the God you have entrusted your life to. So far as you have totally surrendered all to Him and you are being led by the Holy Spirit God will surely turn things in your favor.

As Christians God did not promise the journey of life will be all rosy and simple.

John 16 33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may havepeace.In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

In the midst of all the problems and difficulties God want you to build your faith muscles. He expects us to pray, meditate On His word daily, offer praise and worship , daily confession of your expectations and walking closely with the Holy Spirit.

God sometimes allow the devil to throw arrows (Problems) our way so that our faith in Him will be increased and strengthened and for His name to be glorified when He turns your test to a testimony. Romans 8: 28 “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed to us”.

God never ignores us in our hard times, He looks down to us and waits for the right timing. Many times, we either stop or delay our own miracles from manifesting physically. Let’s keep it in mind that though  God is capable of doing everything at anytime, He  also works with principles, that is why He always expects us to walk closely with the Holy spirit for His leadings and directions. Always seek God’s direction on what He expects of you in your current situation.

When a situation is supposed to strengthen, change and teach you a lesson, God will not jump ahead and come to your rescue just because you are emotional about it.

Know God for yourself and be sincere with your relationship with Him.Try hard to avoid situations that will compromise your walk with God,for He Loves you more than you can ever imagine.

PRAYER : Father Lord, as your children are going through challenging times in their  lives, show them the way to go, may their faith in You be strengthened and may they not compromise with their walk with You. May every lesson that we are supposed to learn whiles we are going through these trying times be learnt in Jesus’ Name

AMEN

Be Christfullness

GOD’S MESS NOT YOUR MESSAGE

Only if we pray and intercede for our neighbor’s flaws instead of discussing with others and criticizing them. Imagine if we could sincerely correct and guard in love instead of mocking and looking down on others mistakes.

Being a Christian doesn’t make us a super-human but rather, it is an attempt to be like Jesus Christ, but whiles at it, we make mistakes. Our human desires can get the best part of us to the extent that we lose control.                                                            

Proverbs 24 :16 Even if good people fall seven times, they will get back up. But when trouble strikes the wicked, that’s the end of them.

As Christians we can never be perfect for the bible says: our righteousness are like filthy rugs before God, but grace will always abound                                                                                                           

Romans 5: 20 The Law came, so that the full power of sin could be seen. Yet where sin was powerful, God’s kindness was even more powerful.

Before you discuss and criticize the flaws of people, please ensure that you have discuss it with God first, and if the discussion has been done with God then there is no need for any third party who has no business with the matter at hand. It is so easy to see and criticize people’s mess, other than ours

Sometimes we don’t know the magnitude of damage the words we utter about people cause them. Demeaning statements can break a person and cause them to lose themselves. Let the words that comes out of our mouth minister grace. Remember no matter how messy someone is, God still love them unconditionally, for God loves the sinner but hate the sin.

Be mindful that your little action wouldn’t be the reason why someone will be driven away from God. Let keep this in mind; Yes, are Christians but we are human and we are bound to make mistakes BUT so far as we are trying to be godly with the guidance of the Holy spirit, God is pleased with us. Pray and advise us in love but don’t criticize and judge us. (For who are you to judge)

And truly you are born-again Christian, you have to allow yourself to be influence by the Holy spirit and you should always use grace abounds as an excuse to continue sinning. For with every sin there is a consequence and you shall sure give account to every action, if you don’t truly repent.

Father, your word says if we confess our sins, you are just and faith to forgive and cleans us, Father may You lose us from our sins and we pray for the grace to see You in others other than criticizing and writing them off. May every word that comes out of our mouth minister grace and may our presence in people’s lives impact them positively. In Jesus’ name. AMEN Be Christfulness
