Do not focus on the dirt, but the anointing



Genesis 32:25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.

While following to catch anointing on men of God,  you will get to discover their natural side which sometimes is not pleasant.  It can either offend you or inspire you to say that 'if God can use such a man, He can definitely use me also.'

Know for certain that they are first of all men and then they are men of God. Men have weaknesses and its hard to think that your man of God has any. Yes they do but God uses them by the grace.  If you focus on the weakness, you will miss the precious anointing in them. 

The media is good at magnifying the issues surrounding the men of God but don't do the same, focus on the anointing and let God deal with their issues.  Some things are too high for you to deal with them, leave them to God.

Jacob wrestled with God to the point that his bone was pulled out of joint and limped on his journey onwards. The limping represents the weaknesses, challenges, setbacks that men get as they are journeying in their service to God. They actually magnify so much as you get out to the front lines of ministry. It's also like a bottle of soda, when it falls to a muddy ground, it only needs to be cleaned up.  If you focus on the dirt, you cannot enjoy the contents within. Ignore the dirt and focus on the precious oil within the man of God. 

Always look in admiration and not in offence when you see men of God doing exploits even when their lives are sometimes surrounded in dirt. If God can use them, He can use you too.

Psalms 131:1 A Song of degrees of David. LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.

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....
