HAVING FAITH THAT GOES BEYOND BORDERS

What is faith without borders? Is it possible to have faith that looks beyond all borders? What is a border? Define border: In the dictionary, A border is a line separating two countries or other areas, administrative divisions or other areas. or simply the edge along or besides something. What is that border you feel you can’t beyond. People have created borders in their lives; I can’t pass my exams, I can’t preach the Gospel, I can’t enjoy a good marriage. When you confess these things, you create a border that divides your life of failure, ordinary and that successful life God has planned for you and that border now becomes permanently created and ushered by your words and actions. What is faith It is the complete trust or confidence in something or someone. I have a confidence that an airplane can get be to the USA In time and safely. What makes you say this because you know its abilities? It has never disappointed you.  Faith comes from a root word PISTIS and ‘believe’ ...

STOP ASSISTING GOD TO HELP YOU

"Lesa fye umwine akatwafwilisha aha  Tumushile fye umwine “ "God himself, will help us lets it to God himself", My interpretation to this song is that we need to stop helping God and let him help us. Sometimes, we feel we need to go ahead of God to bring the kind of solution that we feel we need, but this should not be the case. I feel this is what is landing so many people in problems that could have been avoided. Below are some common statements people like to use before they provide their self-solutions. . "Oh no! because i am not meeting the right person to marry me, let me just get pregnant for John maybe   he can marry me" "Oh no! because in our family, they have said we don't excel, so let me jut accept this status quo:" "Oh no! because normally for people to accept me i must do what they are doing, so you engage in alcohol abuse just to be accepted." "Oh no! because for you to graduate you must be frie...

EVEN CHRISTIANS FALL!

This post is inspired by a song done by Jonathan Mcreynolds called "Limp" and in my interpretation Christians walk throughout their journey by limping as i will illustrate more in this post.  First of all i would like to under score this notion that Christians are pure and holy people, and that they don’t sin, or that they are these perfect beings who have perfect lives and everything about them is all rosy. Well you can say that it is true? But I want to bring your attention to this fact;  Christians are not perfect, they live the same lives as you all do and they live in the same earth.  What differentiates believers from non-believers is how they carry themselves or how they respond to challenges surrounding them. Remember we are living in the same earth that is Influenced and controlled by its’ ruler, the devil and as long as we live in this world for us to be above the devil we must not confirm to its standards even though we LIVE in it.  As Christian...

TRUSTING GOD WHEN IT HURTS THE MOST

 "Proverbs 3::5-6” I have sung this song for quite some time and even when I never understood it or ‘felt’ speak to me, I still sang it. This is a part from the song:    “  Trust and obey"   "For there is no other way to be happy in Jesus "    "But to trust and obey” So now we understand that without faith (trusting God) it is difficult to please God (hebrews 11:6), how or why? You see God is spirit and you cannot see him, therefore if you are following God then you are doing it ‘blindly’ or not being able to see him physically, or rather without exactly not knowing who you are following physically. for instance you can not say that you know the place where God works or lives because he is with us all the time. Many people have stopped serving God because they were not sure at some point who they were following anymore especially if he did not come through for them when they where in pain or grieving and the like. Some, When troubles came, they ...

"WINNING THE RACE_RUNNING WITHIN YOUR LANE"

Image
Photo of  racers_picture gotten from Ooutsideonline.com Ecclesiastes 3:1. Ephesians 4:11-12, 2 Corinthians 12:14-20 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers for the perfecting of the saints. T he body of Christ has many parts but all sharing the same goal to perfect the body of Christ. This is also the same with our natural bodies and corporate bodies; the various arms/ departments all play different parts but are very important for the work and purpose which we have been born or called for.  What the hands can do the eyes can’t do, what the nose can do the heart can’t do, showing that we all have unique features and abilities which make us function within our jurisdiction. We are all created with a unique purpose and a mission on earth and when we perform that purpose, we are guaranteed better success. The joy and fulfilment of completing your race and winning is amazing. In Ecclesiastes 3:1, we are informed th...

ARE YOU TOTALLY READY FOR IT?

Mathew 7:11,  James 4:3 There are so many things we want in life and the real question we must be willing to answer is: Are you totally ready for it? Today, I interrogate the subject’ Readiness ‘especially for what we are seeking in life. We all want so many things in life and it is alright to want something.  But the question is ‘are you ready for that success you want? Are you ready for marriage? Are you ready for that new car, job, relationship, friend, etc.? Now we must understand that God has given us all things and he is still in the business of blessing you even today. There is nothing that you can ask that he cannot give you. I want to draw your attention to the issue of why we do not get what we want and when we want it sometimes. somethings that we are seeking for from God may seem to take too long to come and one wonders whether this God is still the one who gives what we ask for as he said in Mathew 7:7 “ Ask, and it shall be given to you: seek and you wil...

"MAKE ROOM FOR YOU"

Lyrics for the song by MAKE ROOM by Jonathan McReynolds I find space for what I treasure I make time for what I want I choose my priorities and Jesus you're my number one So I will make room for you I will prepare for two So you don't feel that you Can't live here, please live in me I find space for what I treasure I make time for what I want I choose my priorities and Jesus you're my number one Yes Jesus you're my number So I will make room for you I will prepare for two So you don't feel that you Can't live here, please live in me This songs makes me think about one interesting subject of FREE WILL . The singer talks about how he will create room for God to come in. Now I start my sharing by asking this question: What business does light have with darkness? Can God live in you if you keep entertaining sin? 2 Corinthians 6:14-16 says “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship h...

12 KEY STRATEGIES TO SUCCEED IN YOUR ENDEAVOURS

Key points to help you succeed in the 21st century world Different mentors and life coaches have developed different strategies on how to succeed in life and these may or may not have worked for different people. I believe everyone has a different route to success and these strategies may not be tailored to your success story, they are there to offer guidance. I believe these strategies have worked for me and are still working for me. So feel free to try them.  1. Purposes: Do you know your purpose? Purpose brings about specified visions and when you discover your purpose and draw up a proper vision board of how you will achieve your purpose, then your road to success is defined clearly.   Is your vision specified, have you discovered your purpose? Every human being has a purpose that they need to serve on Earth before they die and this provides a road map as to what life you then can live. Purpose defines you. It is the driving force that keeps you going. T...

BE IT UNTO ME ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD

“So Mary said, "Yes, I am a servant of the Lord; let this happen to me according to your word." Then the angel departed from her.” (Luke 1:38,NET) So the past weeks have been very intriguing and I kept wondering to myself where God was taking me. It Is easy for one to tell another about the power of God, when they do not have an issue that they want God to intervene in. so I had a very urgent and pressing and I wanted God to answer me almost instantly. To me, I told God the kind of answer I wanted to my problem and this shaped the kind of expectations I hoped for.  "I want this solution to come like this and look like this. " But little did I know that this solution is not going to look like the way I wanted but it was definitely coming. So I had reserved some money to help me sort out the problem in case the solution didn’t come as I wanted. As a 21st century girl, I believe in planning; so I set targets and put plans that are supposed to help me attai...

HOW TO SET YOUR MINDSET RIGHT.

I wrote this article to inspire you, the reader, to learn how to set your mindset right; which is Setting your mindset in line with the standard of God for your life, the word of God. When you set your mind on certain things, those things then become the important things and in a way they define what you do, see, hear or derive pleasure in.  When you set your mind on material things, you will derive happiness in expensive material things like cars, clothes, shoes etc. When you value something and make it important, it becomes a standard that conditions your life, as well as, your thinking and actions. If your mind is set on success, you will not value anything that is less than that.  This is the same when your mind is focused on getting married, you can marry anything because your Ultimate Goal is to marry, you will chess away anything which doesn’t look like marriage and only embrace the' marriage looking type'. I believe it is good to set priorities and targets in life...

Something Spectacular Series: The benefits of attending conferences

Image
" There is something extra special about conferences and special events inspired organised by servants of God "   Each time we come into the presence of God, there is an elevation that comes upon our life God, God always gives us word that elevates our lives. Be it Sunday service, mid-week service, youth meetings; God always prepares something for us each time we have plan to meet him and that word is meant to bless us and take our lives to the next level. In his word in Hebrews 10 :25, “ do not forsake the assembling of ourselves together, as manner of some is; but exhorting one another.’” As a command God expects us to honour each command. But this isn’t just a mere command, it has a promise attached to it, you get to be rewarded with blessings. Church is like a filling station where you go and get filled up just like a car needs fuel to run, so Is meeting with God.  It is like he gives us ‘fuel’, power that will keep us running for that week. That is why...

LORD OPEN MY EYES

“If the spirit of him, he raised Jesus Christ dwells in you he that raised Jesus Christ will help quicken your mortal bodies” _ Romans 8:11 “ but you will receive power when the spirit of God comes on you:.... ” _Acts 1:8 “The holy spirit who is our greatest advocate will teach us all things and bring them to remembrance” _ John 14:16 “To be spiritually minded is life, to be carnally minded is death” Romans 8:5,6,9  “Blessed are those who are pure in heart, for they shall see God ” _ Matthew 5:8 Now we understand that God, is God the father, the son, and the holy spirit. To know him and to be his follower one must live in the SPIRIT because God is actually spirit (Romans 8:9). When I become a believer I thought there were so many things I did not know and needed to know, so anxiety kicked in as to how I will manage to know them.  So each day I told myself to desire more of the holy spirit and to read more of the word of God. Because to me the word of God is...

LIVING LIFE IN ITS FULLNESS THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT

Isaiah 55.8-11, Romans 8:11, 15-17 “My thoughts are not your thoughts, my ways are not your ways”, says the lord, “Just as the heaven are higher, so are my ways higher”, says the lord , Isaiah 55:8-11.  In the old testament the scripture shows us the ways of God. God does not operate like man; he is not on the same of level of thinking as Man thinks. We know that God the creator of heaven and earth is a big God. Vs 10 says as the snow and the rain come down from heaven and does not return to me/ it (heaven) without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seeds for the sower and bread for eater” . Verse 11 says So is every word that goes out from my mouth, it will not return to me empty, but will achieve the purpose for which I sent it . God has made US in his image and therefore carbon copies of who he is. When you come into Christ you become a new creation and you begin to learn more of kingdom life, and the more you  study and meditate on...

THE POWER OF THE WORD OF GOD

Image
I believe 'KNOWING GOD' is the key to a successful life (What the father Can do, so can I)  John 1:1“ In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God ” Interpretation therefore is that the Word of God is equal to God. Verse 3 “ through him and his word all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. ”   In genesis 1:1, The bible says " In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth , Verse 3 " God said let there be light, and there was light. Whatever God created he simply said it using his word " Now understand that the word of God is God himself and what is contained in the bible is God himself, revealing the mysteries of himself, can really help us Understand him better. When you study more of the word of God, you begin to know him more and in turn the word begins to grow in you and begin to grow your faith and confidence in him. Like the seed (THE WORD) as it is planted in you, you begin to...
