It's your time to shine

 


Isaiah 60:1-3 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.


Child of God this scripture is an encouragement to you and me that in case things are going bad in the world we are in, for us we shall shine and do well. But what does that imply, we should do what we are supposed to do when we have the opportunity to. 


The recent COVID pandemic period testifies to the fact that many churches and organisations crumbled while others thrived. It was the dark hour but a shining one to others. The same was true in the economic credit crunch of 2008. I am not a prophet of doom but I know that even Jesus told us to expect tough times in these last days. More severe occurrences will come ahead. How prepared are we for the tough times ahead? We should sow so that reap a good harvest that will sustain us in bad times. 


It's in tough times that you realize who built on the right foundation and who didn't. Everyone seems to be busy trying building their lives but by what principles are they building it on? Jesus or man's thinking? You see man's thinking may be pleasing and logical but it's not right according to God. God's ways may not be appealing to the flesh but it's right. When man says it's foolish to give tithes, how are you gaining by giving? God says when you tithe He opens the windows of heaven to pour out a blessing to you that you cannot contain. 


I have learnt through Apostle Moses Mukisa that there are two economies we Christians belong to. The world economic system and the kingdom economic system. And the world's system is about buying and selling while that of the kingdom is about sowing and reaping. If we are to continue living in this world we need to have some money to buy the necessities of life and we need to have a product or service to sell so that we get money. Business men sell merchandise, teachers sell knowledge, doctors give treatment and earn a living. So you have to be good at selling and have enough money to get assets that produce cash flow. 


But in the kingdom sowing and reaping is a must if you or your ministry is to succeed. God touches men's hearts so that they bless you with their money and resources to meet your needs and the ministry needs. This means if you can fulfill God's vision by your money alone then it ceases to be God's vision but your personal vision.

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....
