Soulish prayers or utterances

James 3:13-15 Who [is] a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but [is] earthly, sensual, devilish.


Many believers make confessions in prayer not based on the word but according to what they feel at a time. Their feelings say something while the spirit man says another. In a way they confess upon themselves curses that affect their destinies. 


In other cases such prayers are not made by you but by those who self proclaim as if they know what is best for you. These can be parents, friends, or even intercessors for that matter. Then there are some who not only want to tell you what God is saying, but influence every decision you intend to come up with. In a way they order your life based on their own way or by experience in the name of protecting you from making mistakes.


For that reason pastors should take charge of prayer sessions so that some who are operating in the prophetic or saying what the Lord is saying don't go overboard and say what they shouldn't. Their prophesies break down ministries, hurt relationships and destroy what has been built overtime.


Any form of control by words which is not Spirit led is demonic, soulish and carnal. And it sometimes comes in the name, "thus says the Lord." We need to discern well who should have an opinion or a say in our lives otherwise we risk hindering our great destinies God has curved out for us. 


Parents sometimes fall victim especially in choosing mates for their children, and also affairs in the child's marriage. This is a ground one should tread well since it's affects autonomy and growth of the child in owning up their decisions. An opinion is good but the decision should be made by the person whom your giving the opinion so that at the end of the day the responsibility for the decision rests on them and not you.

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....
