Keep inspired to inspire


Ezekiel 2:2 And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me.

I have had times before when I got on fire for God and then moments when am so cold. I have got times when I love to pray, read the word, preach the gospel and at other times when the thought of any of those just makes me feel it's a mountain to climb to do those things. 

There are times in my past when we went for a week on mission ground and all week was stuffed with gospel related activities and it was easy enough to preach, teach, pray, evangelise or even do bible study but immediately when that week was over and am on my own at home I couldn't sustain those very things. 

Why was that so? Christianity to me then was out of the influence of a corporate anointing and not personal. Of course when you are many you are easily influenced by others and the flesh or self doesn't want to be "exposed" for what it truly is so it puts up a good show for fear of the crowd. Partly I lived Christianity for others, I prayed because I was either going to preach or was forced to, I fasted because it was either a calendar activity or I didn't want to be out of the spirit with others. In the very beginning when I got saved Sunday was a "holy" day where I was doing my bible study, attended church, watched christian TV but come Monday through Saturday I was off on another tangent, doing what I didn't want to do but also helpless not to do. 

Whatever motive I had worked to help me keep doing the spiritual gymnastics for a while but couldn't sustain them afterwards. 

First and foremost I have to let you know that living the christian life is not only hard but impossible to do so in your own strength. Christianity is not natural but supernatural. It is not a set of activities you check off the list and feel "good" later and in case you didn't you get so guilt ridden repenting yourself before God for having tried and failed. So you promise yourself afterwards that this time round I won't let God down, I will do it,  then you fail again and the cycle resumes allover again. 

I remember that the day I got baptized with the Holy Spirit was the initial step to overcome this kind of do this or feel guilty if not Christianity. Learning to live by the Spirit too helped. And third was to keep inspired by other mature Christians all the time helped me sustain the atmosphere of the presence of God. 

As I write now I don't have times for God and other times for the flesh and satisfy it's cravings. All times I stuff myself with the Word of God. It's what some who are struggling like I used to call extreme or going too far. Now if I wasted my six days before in doing fleshly cravings before and yet profited in none why don't I do much more now with the atmosphere of the presence ever around me and continue bearing fruit effortlessly? 

Now this is common to find a believer listening to some kind of music, watching some shows, movies they wouldn't if their mother, father and 6 year old brother or child were in the same room, keeping certain magazines under the bed to get them out when the fleshly lusts are rushing down their nerves etc. I was there but I left. I haven't yet arrived where I want to go but I left where I was.

I intentionally have anointed books on my phone, PC playing in audio format everywhere I find myself to be. That's one example but there are many more. For that cause I have to give myself excuses but anytime any day, at a moments call I can bless, inspire, preach, evangelise, write, talk at length on any theme the Holy Spirit inspires me to or what others want me to talk about. Coupled with the fact that I am closely following other men of God, in their preaching and way of life both near and far, I can't help but to keep inspired or anointed and continue inspiring or walking in the anointing.

Now this just didn't happen, it's been a while of investing in my spiritual life. You too can. Start today by deleting useless videos, images in your gadgets, tearing away useless magazines, newspapers, unsubscribing yourself from certain channels, putting away lustful novels, delete some song list and look for replacement with anointed christian songs, books, sermons and listen to them all the time. You will be so full of the Word that you will live it and preach it effortlessly without even first praying or setting yourself apart but it's off the cuff.

Squeeze me tight and ought comes the good news and the Word because it's what I know best and want to keep knowing every second of all my life here while I live. You can do the same

Justified by faith

Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: God has made us right with Himself. This is extremely good news because we could not measure up to His standard of righteousness portrayed by the law.  Most religions including some who profess Christianity advocate for a "do right and be right with God" kind of relating with God. This puts the burden of salvation upon the performance of the adherents to such religions. On the other hand true Bible faith, says believe right and then be made right with God independent of your actions. All this is because of God's goodness who wants all to be saved whether they have any previous morally good life or not. If you really get a revelation of this you would burst for joy and rejoice in what God has made you instead of what you can do for Him, hallelujah! It all starts with faith. If you believe you are justified or are forever made just before him, it affects your life in a certa...

When a heart(soul) heals

Many hearts are wounded, broken, sick, depressed, bleeding but when the heart of a man heals, they start to live again. That man starts to blossom, to dream again, to shine brighter and to love again. Psalm 34:18, But the Lord is close to the broken hearts, to the wounded, frustrated ones, He is always there. Surprisingly many people are broken hearted and they don't know what to do. Because of the failure they have experienced before, they face shame and as a result they choose to hide themselves. Some end up committing suicide since they feel hopeless and their dreams beyond reach.  If you happen to be in this situation first and foremost you need to forgive yourself, release that anger and let go of the past. Secondly you need revelation of your identity in Christ. If you aren't born again, you need to first surrender to Jesus as Lord. God is more willing to heal your heart(soul) and your story than you do. All He needs is our consent and cooperation. Let go and let God.  T...

A year of good things

Image
Matthew 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? Years represent new seasons. Every season God has a specific word for us His children that we need to run with. When we run the year based on that Word, our results will be evident. In this season as the Streams of life and Nations churches God gave us a word through our Father Bishop Gerald Mwebe that we are going to have good things.  Last year 2025, was a year of great grace. This year God prophetically is giving us good things. One of the good things He has already given us is the gospel. The gospel is the message we preach and live by. We need to realise as believers that we have a message which will touch lives not only in this world but for eternity. The gospel is not only for non believers but for nonbelievers also. Many believers all they hear are the curses that follow them from the past generations....
