What shall you give in exchange?

Matthew 25:16-18 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made [them] other five talents. And likewise he that [had received] two, he also gained other two. But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.


If you are keen, there's exchange happening everywhere around us. The world rotates on the principle of trading - buying and selling. You have to give something inorder to receive something. It's not only entrepreneurs who are into buying and selling. Employees too sell their services to their employers who buy them. In exchange of their service and time, they are given money as a salary or wage.


As an individual, what are you giving to the world? What are you offering? Whose agenda are you for? Whose message are you propagating? You are either propagating the message of the Lord, or of the devil. There are others who believe in neither God nor the devil and are naturalists. They advance the message of men. The gospel of the Lord and the message of the devil are in the realm of the spirit. The message of men is in the realm of natural things which are in the five senses. Men have causes, some to rule the nation, some to conquer other nations by war etc. One of our friends used to advance a message of cryptocurrency, digital currencies and that is what we knew him for. But there is a higher message.


What message resonates in your heart, mind and lips? The gospel should be your message. In return what do you get from the Lord for spreading that message, you gain more grace, anointing and power to do more. 


I love the buzz word going around, "don't get annoyed, get anointed." To remind you abit, you are already anointed. To flow in a greater anointing, trade what you have. Preach what you know at time and you will be better at it with time.


We hear of secular artists who have sold their souls to the devil for fame. They have accepted the fact that talent won't make them big in the industry and have sold their souls in exchange. The devil is a counterfeitor of what is truth. Truth is in the Bible. And as we see in the parable of talents, those who traded what they had gained more. That principle works everytime. 


Sine soul winning is a calling for every child of God, go all out and do so. When you win souls, you gain more anointing. 


Further scriptures 


Matthew 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

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....
