Remember Reverence


Jesus said, “Were not ten healed? Where are the nine? Can none be found to come back and give glory to God except this outsider?” Then he said to him, “Get up. On your way. Your faith has healed and saved you.”
- Luke 17:17‭-‬19 MSG

Ten lepers came to Jesus to ask for mercy so they can be healed, Jesus inturn asked them to go show themselves to the priests.
Normally, lepers only go to show themselves to the priests when they are healed of the plague, so they {the lepers} can be welcome back into the society.
When Jesus asked them to go show themselves to the priests, their situation was not in any form better than it has always been. Yet, they obeyed the instruction by faith, and as they went, they were cleansed.
However, as they went one noticed that he was healed of the leprous situation, and could not hold back his gratitude {he must have suffered untold humiliation as a result of the affliction more than the others}, he turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God that have smiled down at him. He was a Samaritan, he did not hold anything back, because to him this is pure grace at work in his life, not an entitlement. The others however, I perceived, were Jews, who did not deem it fit to return to thank God. If they had, the Bible would have recorded it! They probably thought it was an entitlement. That can only explain their ingratitude.
This is one of the reason for less or no-flow of the anointing today, many have gotten too familiar with the environment and the anointed vessels, that they fail to acknowledge God in/on them.

The one that came back to show reverence, acknowledgement and glorified God, was not only healed of his leprosy, but got saved as well.

Thanksgiving is a major key to unlocking more of God's blessing upon our lives.

Do have a blessed week filled with gratitude and appreciation, as you unlock more of God's blessing upon your life. Stay blessed! 

Jesus is Lord!

Press In

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.... – Colossians 3:16 Things in this old world aren't getting any better, and in recent times, the Holy Spirit has been speaking an urgent message to my heart. He's been saying, Press in. Draw in to a more intimate relationship with your heavenly Father. If you don't, you won't make it. If you do, you will see more glorious outpourings of God than you can imagine. That message isn't just for me. It's also for you—and for every other believer on the earth today. We are in the last of the last days of this age. Jesus is coming soon. It's an exciting time, but it's also a dangerous time. Those who don't do what the Spirit says, who don't press in to the Lord, are going to go from disaster to disaster. But those who do will defeat the disasters and turn them into glory, in Jesus' Name! Your first step in drawing closer to God is to realize that you know God first in His Word. Time spent meditating i...

The Needful or Obvious Pt.1

And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. - Luke 10:41-42. Nobody just happened, we are created for specific purpose. Everybody cannot be head, or leg, or hand etc., each and everyone most identify their place and stay there, thus makeup the body system. The leg cannot say the hand is not performing its functions adequately, as a result, he will take its functions over. The leg would be led by the obvious and abuse its own purpose instead, why? He was not created to perform the function of the hand. When these things are properly understood, it will help us to gain speed towards the fulfillment of our purpose. Everyone will give account of his or her stewardship, when the time comes, what will be your report, when all that you have been doing is the obvious(somebody else's assignment), and ignoring yours or ...
