THE CONCEPT OF THE GRACE OF GOD Ephesians 2:8, 1Corinthians 15:10 God does not do what you suppose to do for you, He only gives you the ability or power to do it, Deuteronomy 8:18.  It is that ability to do, that is called GRACE. So labour is not excluded in grace it is only that grace gives you the ability to labour. Grace does not replace labour but it only empowers you to do, 1Corinthians 15:10 God said to Israel, when you live in houses you didn't build and drink from a vineyard you didn't plant; don't look at yourself and say my hands have brought me thus for I am the one that giveth you power to get wealth, Deuteronomy 8:12-18.  This bible passage shed light on the concept of grace as an ability more than an act.  What it means is that because your personal labour is involved you may begin to think you brought it to pass through your labour, forgetting that the ability or power to labour (grace) was given to you by God. So, the concept of grace is supplying the abil...

NOTHING GOD GIVES IS SMALL Matthew 13:31-32 Every word that proceeds out of the mouth God carries tremendous power whether as song, prophecy, teaching, Psalms or proverbs.  Proverbs and wise sayings are a precious gift from God, don't let people despise it, they are just like Psalms.  Just the same way some are given songs from heaven, some are given prophecies, some are given psalms, others proverbs.  Nothing God gives is small.  Solomon wrote 3000 wise sayings, those wise sayings are the book of proverbs that you read today.  God allowed it to be put into the Bible as part of words inspired by the Holy Spirit and it is blessing many lives today including yours.  God gave Isaiah Jeremiah and Ezekiel the gift of prophecy and they prophesied and prophesied and prophesied and kept on prophesying till their last day on earth to the point that Jeremiah saud if I say I should not speak it is like fire shut up in my bones.  They prophesied to individuals, th...

YOU ARE WHO GOD SAYS YOU ARE 1Peter 2:9 You can't get the correct picture of things or situation or people by the way they look physically.  Jesus said I dont judge by what I see or what I hear but I judge by what my Father tells me, John 5:30 The correct picture of things is what God says it is and when God shows you light on any matter you must beleive that light that you may be children of light, John 12:36.  Anytime you don't have the correct picture of anything you are in darkness concerning that thing.  Let everything you believe about yourself and destiny and situation comes from Him.  The devil's assignment is to keep your focus on wrong things while the assignment of the Spirit  of God  is to keep your focus on the right things.  God asked Jeremiah what he saw and what he saw was the branch of an almond tree, Jeremiah 1:11. He had to see correctly before God could speed up his word to perform it in his life.  God is a God of new beginning...

THE DANGER OF UNFORGIVENESS Mark 11:25-26 When you have laboured in a place or over a people, one good way the devil comes to steal your harvest with your coperation is through unforgiveness.  So, you must be very careful to guard yourself against unforgiveness. Offences cost John the baptiat his head.   Some of us are not offended at men but at God, because of unmet expectations. Jesus says blessed is he who is not offended in me, Matthew 11:6 While forgiveness is a prison opener and jail breaker, unforgiveness is a prison keeper and a jail locker.  The bible says until you pay the last penny you wont come out, Matthew 5:26. Unforgiveness is a waster. Don't allow offences cast you into prison and take off your head.  With this understanding you have, it will be easier to practice forgiveness and even give it ahead of being offended.  Who must you forgive for God to turn your captivity around?  Who must you pray for for the Lord to command His blessing...

FOLLOWING WITH PATIENCE Hebrews 6:12 Many will not be patient with you while you are growing and will interprete your growth process differently. Some because of no fault of their own but because their matter require urgency which your level if growth cannot yet provide, so you must make room for them to leave and find solution elsewhere. You must not because of this hate your growth process you must learn to be patient with yourself even when others are not patient with you. It is the secret to a long lasting performance. Some will call your growth process lack of result, some will call it powerlessness, some will even mock it, while some may counsel you to forget the whole thing as it is not working. It doesnt always look like something is happening but a lot is happening. However, as for you, you must know exactly what is happening to you and not allow yourself to be pushed out of growth and process. Many will not be interested in your growth but only in your fruit. But as f...
