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...

It Takes Love

We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren....   - 1 John 3:14 The genuine proof that proves the salvation of a man is 'love towards brethren' I mean sincere love, the God kind of love "Agape" . If there is no constant crave of how to bless or impact fellow brethren positively, it simply means you do not have the Spirit of Christ in you. The concluding part of 1 John 3:14 says, ".... He that loveth not his brother abideth in death." People use racism, religion, tribalism, etc., as a tool to attack innocent people, all for ulterior motives. We need to understand that there are demonic spirit involved in these acts. For someone to attack another because of personal beliefs, prove that such individual(s) have yielded to a demonic spirit that have possessed their body, to perform and carry-out their evil enterprise. People that are the arrow-head these acts most times are demonic agents, riding on the ignorance of ...

Changed Status

The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven. And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?  - John 6:41-42 They did not know when his status Change, reason being that their eyes where withholden. When we discover our God given plan and align with His perfect will and purpose for our life, our status will change automatically (1 Sam 10:6) , we become different personalities, manifesting from here and now. Didn't the Bible say in Romans 8:19 that, "For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God." Manifestation means showing forth. John the Baptist was the first to know when Jesus manifested, John 1:29-33. Secondly, multitudes also saw it in Him, in the book of Luke 4:20 - 22. Unfortunately, people tend to look for the spectacular before they will believe (maybe someone com...

Abide In The Vine.

If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.  - John 15:6 No man light a fire on a fresh wood and expect it to burn. Jesus is the vine (the tree of life), everyone redeemed; is a branch, in the vine and as long as one remain in the vine, he will have life. But, if it be broken off, the life stops flowing from its source, and it start dying immediately. When it is dried up, men gather them and use them for fire, and they burn up really fast and easy. Remain in the vine, for in Him is life. We must remain in the vine, if we do not want to end up dead, dry and in the fire. Jesus is Lord! Enahoro Airononi

Make Your Priority Right

For God so loved the world, that he gave ...  - John 3:16.  Giving is the highest expression of love. In the account of John 11:20; when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she ran to meet him, but Mary abode still, probably she didn't know. But, in vs 29, when Martha informed her(Mary), she rose quickly, and came to him 'Jesus'. Mary expressed her love in various ways one of them is through her SUBSTANCE (Alabaster Box, expensive perfume), not just with activities or eye service, she expressed it by giving. John 12:3 gave this account. Secondly, in Luke 10:41-42. Mary was more interested in seeking to know more of God, thereby giving her ATTENTION. Martha on the other hand (though a good and sincere person), but, was busy, busy, busy and carried away with activities. We must understand the timing of everything, so we don't have misplaced priorities. Remember in Ecclesiastes 5:1, the scripture says, "Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, a...
