Hold onto Your Crown

Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.  - Revelation 3:11 I believe everyone have a unique assignment on earth, which we have a duty to discover. Our purpose is not hid from us, it is hidden for us. Once the purpose have been discovered, we have yet the responsibility to guard it from being lost, else we become unfit for His Kingdom. Purpose does not consist on things, however, discovering of purpose bring things(Matthew 6:33). We saw example in Judas Iscariot. Jesus Christ had more than twelve persons with him, but twelve were chosen as disciples. Judas didn't value his office/place, rather, materialism instead. See Acts 1:16-26. Matthias was chosen to take Judas's place and crown. He has being with them from the very beginning, but wasn't chosen initially, Acts 1:21-22, says, "Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, Beginning from the bap...

Remember God Always

Persecution remains the greatest blessing to the church, because it brings about spiritual re-awakening. I saw this in Smith Wigglesworth book, Ever Increasing Faith. 2 Chronicles 7:14, If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Sad but true to say, when believers have everything going for them, we tend to forget God who brings us the peace, abundance, joy etc., we all enjoy, until we are confronted with situations or challenges, then we run to Him. Amazingly, He is such a loving and merciful Father, that despite all our shortcoming, He still embrace us, "if" we run to Him. Just imagine if we acknowledge Him always, even in our abundant state, what it will be like? Deuteronomy 8:18, "But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may es...

Goodnews

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor;...  - Luke 4:18. God desire is for everyone to be saved, because with salvation comes the blessing. The blessing includes; health, deliverance, vision (sight) , freedom (liberty of spirit),  etc. This is goodnews! Gospel means "good news." It's to proclaims tidings of deliverance. Or glad tidings of good things. The poor man today thinks more money will get him out of his/her predicament. Well, more money and much more money will lead to a cursed life, without God and without the right mentality. Proverbs 23:7 says, " For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:..." The reason Jesus Christ came to preach the glad tidings, which is gospel to the poor, this is to first change man's mentality enabling him to see himself as God sees him, not as situations and circumstances have painted him to be. A man status will change when he begin to see himself th...

Commonwealth

That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:  - Ephesians 2:12 God covenant of blessing is to Abraham and his seed, known as the Jews or Israel as a nation, only. By default everything these covenant people do prosper, they are not just intelligent, they are super intelligent because it is a gift from God. From farming, to business, to technology, to science etc. in every chosen field of their endeavor the blessing of God upon their lives distinguished them. It's the blessing that the rest of the world is shutout from, and cannot have access to. But! Jesus Christ came and has remove the petition, that those who desire(the born again believers), now have access to the commonwealth; the same blessing that they have access to, " Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. " Galatians 4:28 , not only that, we now hav...

Confidence In Him.

The Lord isn’t slow to do what he promised, as some people think. Rather, he is patient for your sake. He doesn’t want to destroy anyone but wants all people to have an opportunity to turn to him and change the way they think and act . 2 Peter 3:9 GW Far too many people pride themselves and build their confidence around their career and the wealth it brings. There is nothing wrong with that, in itself. But, without God, everything is wrong with it. Everyone enjoy the success it brings until, there arise some storms or troubles of life, in most cases, it is health related or life threatening issues. Then it's like the wealth and fame just evaporate before their very eyes. We don't need to look too far and long to notice some prominent names of yesterday, who are now shadows of themselves today. Many have sought for themselves other means of protection outside God, unfortunately it always ends in error and tragedy. Light will always rule over darkness anytime, anyday...

Rejected? Now Celebration

This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush. - Acts 7:35 No man chooses the family he is born into. Neither do we have the capacity to choose the state of origin, nationality, continent or race, we born into. Likewise in schools, we did not choose our teachers that taught us across various subjects. Moses was refused by them. Yet, he is the one God chose to lead them out of Egypt (captivity) into Canaan(the promise land). There are people God has placed in our path, we may not like them. But, if you want to go forward, they are the key. 1 Peter 2:4 says, "... disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious," We must put sentiments aside to align and embrace God's plan. In His plan for us, is our greatness. In every place you have been rejected and mocked, you shall be promoted and celebrated, in Jesus name! H...
