THE DISCIPLINE OF CONFORMITY W hen Jesus called His disciples, the offer He gave to them was the offer of being made. He said, "Come, follow me, and i will make you", Matthew 4:19.  As simple as that statement looks, there is a lot contained in it.  Between the calling and the sending there is a process called being made. In between when the promise was given and its manifestation is a journey called wilderness.  What is the significance of a wilderness in the journey of a believer?  It is the place where we become the version of us that can manifest the promise of God.  When God sent His word it was to Jacob but the manifestation was upon Israel, Isaiah 9:8. The Jacob version was the one that received the promise but the version of Jacob upon which the manifestation of the promise will be seen is Israel not Jacob. In between Jacob and Israel is the process called "Being made". The call of God is first to make us before giving to us.  Jesus called the twelv...

MASTER THE LAW OF FOCUS LUKE 12:15 T he secret to a happy life is not having everything. It is focusing your energy on the things you have and seeking ways to be better and improve at them. Without understanding the law of focus we won't be able to stay consistently happy. The law of focus says whatever you focus on gets bigger and bigger and whatever you dont focus on gets smaller and smaller. The reason why you are not happy is because you are focusing your attention on what is not working. If you focus too much on your weakness you will be discouraged but if you focus on your strength you will be encouraged. No man or spirit has the ability to make you sad or happy without your coperation, not satan, not even God. What each does is to change your focus. Because both are spirits, you can't see them do it physically.  They do it through human agency or through your mind by what you think. God can speak directly to your mind and He can use human beings to speak to you, l...

UNDERSTANDING BATTLES. PSALM 18:34, 1Corinthians 9:26 Y ou may be wondering if this message is applicable to you because when we hear battle we turn our backs and mind to it immediately. However the truth is that the whole earth is in a battle; even your own mind is a battle field. If we are not going to fight battles, then why did God call christians soldiers? 2Timothy 4:7 That word soldier alone reminds you of battles and wars, 2Timothy 2:4. Whether you are a believer or an unbeliever you are in the midst of a battle already, so it is important you learn how to fight. The first thing in a battle is not to fight but to understand the battle.Battles must be well defined. To define a battle amd understand what it is you are fighting you need light(illumination the ). Light brings out everything that is in darkness,0 so that they can be seen clearly for what they really are, John 1:5, Ephesians 5:13. Psalm 18:28 says "Thou will enlighten my darkness". John 8:13, Jesus ...

THE POWER OF HIS RESURRECTION 1Corinthians 15 T he power of resurrection has significance both in the life of believers and unbelievers alike.  It works death  that brings about life in the believers(2Corinthians 4:12) and it works salvation in the life of unbelievers(John 3:16). Salvation comprises of four major things: Eternal life, prosperity, health and deliverance.  All these four aspects of salvation are needed by both believers and unbelievers alike. One of my favorite Bible chapters is 1Corinthians 15. This chapter of the Bible teaches us the application of the death and ressurection of Jesus.  It tells us about three major things: The resurrection of Christ, the resurrection of the dead and the resurrection body. Even though the birth of Jesus is more celebrated than His death, His death and ressurection is more significant and pivotal to our christian faith. It is the foundation upon which rest our Christian faith. If He had not died there wouldn't have bee...

KNOWING GOD FROM THE STAND POINT OF RELATIONSHIP PART 2 HEBREWS 8:6-13 W hen you know God by law and not by relationship you will hate people whom God loves, you will stay in an abusive relationship that God wants you to come out from.  So that we can know His heart and not just His Words, God gave us His Spirit in addition to His Word.  The Holy Spirit  helps us to know the heart of God behind His commandments so that when we read the bible we read by the Spirit and we receive life, 1Corinthians 2:11.  To act on the Word of God without the Spirit of God is to receive ministration of death. The bible says the letter killeth but the spirit gives life, 2Corinthians 3:6. Many times when people come to us for counselling we just go by the Word alone and counsel them by the Word without the Spirit of God.  So a person that God wants to liberate we put them in bondage by giving them the Word but not spoken by the Spirit.   Only when we understand the heart o...

KNOWING GOD FROM THE STAND POINT OF RELATIONSHIP HEBREWS 8:6-13 W hat is the difference between old testament and new testament? What did the death of Jesus came to restore to us? Matthew 27:51 Even though in answering these questions we can come up with a list of answers, but the major difference between the two and the major thing that the death of Jesus came to offer us is RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, Jeremiah 31:34.  Authentic relationship stands upon the leg of understanding.  When we talk of understanding  someone; what we are saying is that we know their heart to some extent, Exodus 20:20-21.  If someone say something about someone you have a deep relationship with that is not true you can say I know this man, he wouldn't do what you have said or the reason why he did this is because of this.  You can say that because you understand that person. You know his heart.  The difference between God as God and God as a Father is relationship, Romans 8:15.  H...

THE TESTIMONY REVELATIONS 12:17, GALATIANS 4:28. W hat is the devil after?  Why is he pursuing so hard after christians. Why does he bring sickness, poverty, sufferings and afflictions?  Why does he bring persecutions, rejection, hardship and the likes?  The devil is not after your money, your marriage, your body your children or job. He is only after one thing, THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS, to steal it from you.  So, he attacks all those things in your life as a means to an end. That end is to steal, kill, and destroy the testimony of Jesus in your life.  Results produced after the flesh exalts the flesh. Results produced after the Spirit exalt Jesus.  The Bible says flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God,1Corinthians 15:50. It is the result born after the Spirit that carries the testimony of Jesus.  The flesh has in itself the capacity to produce tremendous results but such result does not exalt the name of Jesus rather it exalts the strength an...
