God first

Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

God deserves our worship, love and time. Our lives need to be rotated around Him in all that we do. 

The Bible says we should seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these other things shall follow. That scripture is contrary to popular thinking nowadays which advocates that people are masters of their destinies. Only the humble can try to live by it. That scripture does not say we should do other things and then seek God about them. On the other hand we should first go to Him for direction and then other things should follow. 

That is why Sunday according to our numbering of days is called the first day and it is on such a day that we go worship God in the church. We are literally saying that, "Lord, you are our God and we are setting you first before all the busyness we shall be engaged in the rest of the week." 

I remember growing up with a tough parent. He instilled in me a discipline of reporting to him everything am about to do or am doing. He didn't want to hear from other people secondary information. He wanted you to tell him first before other people get to know so that he plans ahead of time. He always warned us that whatever we had to do, we should mind the fact that things may not go well and that would mean it was him to take care of the messy business even when it had financial implication. Now that I knew I wasn't working, and I feared to go into financial mess or cause financial stress to him if i told him abruptly, I had to report prior lest I go without help when I needed it. This has been the story of my life to any authorities I happen to be under. I account for each and everything I do so that my actions do not make the organisation run into trouble if the result is not good. Even when it turns out well, it's good that I informed the leader above me. They feel part and involved in the process.

Likewise God desires that we go to Him first before we do other things. He desires to be involved in the decisions we are about to take. Like young children who go to their parents when afraid or unsure of anything, we need to act the same way with Him. He should be sought first as the day begins and in every venture we are about to take.

    Amen 🙏. But what happens if I tell God about my plans and he does not answer, sometimes I Pray and leave prayer minus hearing Him or getting answers.

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....
