Humility

True humility is a virtue of the Holy Spirit imparted into a human spirit.  Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the [Holy] Spirit [the work which His presence within accomplishes] is love, joy (gladness), peace, patience (an even temper, forbearance), kindness, goodness (benevolence), faithfulness, Gentleness (meekness, humility), self-control (self-restraint, continence). Against such things there is no law [that can bring a charge]. It is a trait wanted and desired by many but only those who have gotten saved are in position to truly manifest it.  A person who manifests humility is like water, it takes on any form to pass through any kind of pipe, big or small. A humble person is bendable. When one is humble they will go places in this world.  A humble person is like a child, he can believe anything you tell them and can be taken any where by someone older than them, Matthew 18:5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.  It is humility ...

Life is in seasons

Farmers understand seasons best, some seasons are good while others are not. However that doesn't stop a Farmer from sowing. The same it is for a general who is fighting in wars all the time, there are losses sometimes but there are wins at other times. But the general still commands his troops in another war as if he has never lost a previous one! Likewise in this race of life, in case you encounter a loss one season, keep sowing in other seasons. Learn from the sower in the parable of Jesus in Matthew 13:3-8. He sowed and got 25% success and of the 25% he obtained a third which gave 100% success. This means he got 8.33% total success and the rest failure. Look here child of God, if God expects 8.33% total success of people who get saved and bear fruit while sowing seeds of the gospel through evangelism, don't give up in case you encounter failure in some area of your life, just keep sowing! All you need is encouragement from the right sources and keep moving on, hallelujah!  ...

Going on regardless

Ever been in place where you feel like not doing something yet it's the time and season for you to do it? It's in such situations where only you can do that very thing and yet you can't delegate it or hire someone else to do it on your behalf. Sometimes it's God's assignment or call which doesn't come natural like doing everyday things you normally do.  Child of God in such moments rely on your strength to come from within you because of Christ.  Sometimes fear hinders us. When fear is knocking on your door don't let it hinder your decision to do the same. Let the peace of the Lord rule as an ampire in your heart, Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Surrender not to fear or because of it for fear is not your potion! Othertimes we cannot move on because we are held back by many things in our past or present. Child of  God whatever you're holding onto which is not se...

Living abundantly Vs merely existing

I believe God has called us to live an abundant life and not to just merely exist. By merely existing one has been robbed by the devil of their purpose neither are they full of life. The same simply pass time, become unproductive, no longer take on risks, have little energy in taking on ventures and give up on their goals or are pursuing none altogether. This state in someone's life is triggered mainly by consistent failures and defeats in a person's life. I have encountered such a place before where you are doing everything but aren't seen any fruit.  The results from this is stress, depression or suicidal thoughts. If you happen to be in this situation, I want to remind you that as born again children of God, God has not called us to such a life of merely existing. Awake to the realization that God has good plans for you and that all things work together for good, Romans 8:28.   Remember the woman with the issue of blood, she pressed on to touch the garment of Jesus wit...

Arise and Shine again

It's a good thing to start again. When all hopes are frustrated, when visions are from within reach, after a heavy loss, after that heart break, after that miscarriage, child of God don't park there in that misery and pain. I encourage you to Arise and shine again. You still have a part to play in this world as far as preaching the gospel is concerned. Great things are awaiting for you. You can't give up now! Bible says in Isaiah 60:1 ARISE [from the depression and prostration in which circumstances have kept you--rise to a new life]! Shine (be radiant with the glory of the Lord), for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you! This year might not have been that good on your side but don't give up. Get ready, a lot awaits you in the new year. Take a step and arise from what is holding you back. Release yourself from the prison of not having joy, peace of mind, bitterness and anger. Learn from Naomi in the Bible for after a loss of her sons she did...

Inspiration to do things

1 Corinthians 9:27 But I keep under my body, and bring [it] into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. "I do things when I want to," I am amazed at such a statement when I hear it from someone.  People are either inspired by an interest or by a commitment to do something.  Interest is when one does things when they want to, feel like or when they are in the mood. Commitment however is when one does something regardless of one's feelings or liking what they are doing.  To do the will of God we need to commit to it come what may. It is for Children or the immature who don't want to do the right things from a tender age. That's why they are to be forced to do whatever thing they think they are not in the mood to do. If Jesus waited to be interested in dying for us, his flesh wouldn't allow. He had to commit to the will and plan of God for His life.  We need to be like Paul, by buffeting your flesh to do...

Beyond what you know

Many times we focus on our earthly timings. But we forget to ask some questions like these, what if to God His year doesn't end in December 2024?  If so why do you put yourself on pressure for no good reason? What if His week doesn't end on Saturday? If not then why are you feeling discouraged that He has not answered you? Remember  One day in the house of the lord is better than a thousand else where, Psalm 84:10.  Time is not his limitation be patient, wait on the Lord. It will surely happen. It will come to pass. It's not dependant of this time. Stop depending on this earthly time.  In Luke 5:5 And Simon (Peter) answered, Master, we toiled all night [exhaustingly] and caught nothing [in our nets]. But on the ground of Your word, I will lower the nets [again]. The best time for fishing is night time to the world but when Jesus appeared during the day and he told them to lower their nets, they responded to instruction not time, experience, circumstances or even feel...

Obedience

In every situation, God speaks. Are you doing whatever He says in that situation? Every -time you delay His command or direction you are delaying your break through or your Miracle. Some of the commands are to be implemented immediately or now, so you ought to help yourself and do them now or instantly.  Obedience is of God. It is not human. A human being always wants his or her way, Jeremiah 10:23 O LORD, I know that the way of man [is] not in himself: [it is] not in man that walketh to direct his steps. It takes God for someone to fully submit to and obey authority and do as told. It also takes trust to truly submit to Authority. Build your Relationship with Him and get to not only know Him through His word, but also to learn to trust Him. Therein obedience will be easy. DK

It's our calling to help others

Daily the world is becoming tougher and tougher. As born again believers shall we simply look on? On the contrary we are to become beckons of hope. We ought to make the relationships we have with others much better, create joy for sorrows, create laughter for tears, become that light in the darkness. We ought to be kind, loving to the broken hearted. We are meant to offer help and a shoulder for others to lean on without expecting anything in return.  However, everytime you do it expecting something in return, it's a trap from the enemy and you will get disappointed and frustrated. No wonder some give up entirely on people. God has called us to those people so make the world a better place for people who are hurting, that's the heart of the Father for humanity. Instead of looking out only for your interests, seek to meet the interests of others, Phil 2:4.  DK

Live in the now

Do you know that everyday is a full package from God. In it is all you need to be successful in that day, the grace to sustain you, in it is the strength, it has the peace that makes no sense, it has the joy which is your strength, it has the resources you need for the day, no wonder the Bible says in Psalms 68:19 Blessed [be] the Lord, [who] daily loadeth us [with benefits, even] the God of our salvation. Selah. However, most times we do spend our days in the future worrying about the things which may never happen in this Life. Every time you spend worrying for the future in today, you are wasting resources for the day, your day will be dark and void of light, depression will get a grip on you and it will take a toll on you. Simply flow, don't Force the future into today, just flow in today for the glory to God. DK

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...

In the business of New Things

Our God is always in the business of doing new things! Child of God are you still being held by your recent successes or past victories? Are you still held with your recent or past failures?  Chances are high that you are being blinded to the new things the Lord is doing because of them. There is still more child of God. If He did whatever you hear or read about in His word, He can still do More and do it for you! And whatever He does is from glory to glory, hallelujah! Isaiah 43:18 "But forget all that— it is nothing compared to what I am going to do. Don't hold onto what has happened. It is simply an event that has happened, that's all. Success or failure is not a dwelling place.  It's an event whatever feelings it comes with enjoy them for a little while and let Go! Start to behold a greater thing.  To do a greater thing though, you need to ask for help from God. Whatever He is to do is beyond your ability to do in the natural. Learn from the disciples, they were so...

Quiet your mind

Do you know as a child of God, it is your responsibility to quiet your mind from false and negative voices? These voices are mainly influenced from the very things you watch, read or listen to. The gate into your mind or soul is through your eyes and ears. The Bible warns us to, "take heed therefore how you hear...," Mark 4:24a. Get the right information to the eyes and ears. This will enable you to be single minded, Matthew 6:22. The lamp of the body is the eye, therefore if your eye is single/good therefore your whole body will be full of light.  One of the main causes for a lack of peace in our lives are the voices speaking to you (the negative voices). Let your mind stay/remain/abide on Christ. You will have unweavered peace. Isaiah 26:3 You will keep [him] in perfect peace, [Whose] mind [is] stayed [on You,] Because he trusts in You. The first step to increase in life is to have the peace of the Lord. The Bible says pray for the peace of the country,  because if there is...
