Purpose III

Jeremiah 30:19. And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small. 

God is going to make you merry and, at the same time, multiply you as you accomplish His purpose, which becomes your purpose in life. 

Many motivational speakers ask people to write down their vision or purpose, but they fail to reveal that God should ultimately give you His purpose, which should become your purpose for you to be fulfilled in life. If such a motivational speaker does not believe in God, then that makes it worse. They will point people to themselves as if they are an end in themselves. Yet the Bible is clear that it is not in man to direct his steps. If you reach a point where you say, "Not my will, but your will be done," then that is a place of surrender, where you no longer live for yourself but for God. That is what Paul said: to live is Christ, but to die is gain. He meant that as long as he was alive, Christ shall be the reason for his living, and he would live for Him. And even when he died, he will still be with Him! 

Some know they are meant to live for God, but the way they do things is disheartening. They not only do small things, but they also do things without the excellence it requires. On the contrary, God is not a God of small things, and neither will He settle for subpar things. 

The Bible says the glory of a king is in the multitude of his subjects. If it is for God, let it be excellent, big, and praiseworthy.

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....
