'You are Worthless?'

Image
Has there ever been a time when you felt worthless, useless and you just felt that no one perceived you as valuable in life? Well, I can assume that everyone of us have had our fair share in that feeling, because I have, many times. But what is God's view about us feeling this way? Let's look into the Scriptures. Ephesians 2:10 (NLT) For we are God’s masterpiece . He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. [emplasis added] Do you see that 😄.  You are a masterpiece, not just any masterpiece, you are God's Masterpiece. Let me quickly paint a picture with this. I am a Graphic designer, and in my work, if I have a potential new client who asks me to send in a few of my previous works, what I do (as expected) is that I'll go through my archives, and pick the very best of the best designs I've previously worked on. Those are my Masterpieces. So, imagine God in an Heavenly Council meeting, and perhaps one of the 24 eld

MUSTARD SEED FAITH

Image
Hello friends, trust you are good. Today I'll be sharing a piece I titled Mustard Seed Faith. And our text is Matthew 17:14-20: 14 When they came to the crowd, a man approached Jesus and knelt before him. 15 “Lord, have mercy on my son,” he said. “He has seizures and is suffering greatly. He often falls into the fire or into the water. 16 I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him.” 17 “You unbelieving and perverse generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy here to me.” 18 Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed at that moment. 19 Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?” 20 He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Noth

My Reality

Good day, I was inspired to write and confess these recently, so I decided to share. I see walls falling, I see chains breaking, I hear the sound of rain, As of a mighty rushing wind. It's a new dawn, The break of a new day, Light is breaking forth, Unto growth, Unto uplifting, Unto depths, Men see Men know Men grow These are the days of signs, Days of wonders, Days of power, Days of manifestation, Days of the fullness, And in all, I'm in, Son, Beloved, Righteous, Joint heir, Called, Justified, Sanctified I'm a partaker, I walk by faith, Born of the Spirit, With the mind of the Spirit, Led by the Spirit, I'm Christ, I'm a light in the world, I shine, I abound unto good works, I walk in power, I'm born of the most high. This is my reality, And I'm in it, are you?

Now that I am Saved

I recently had the impression to share this post. It’s an awakening call to the Church to remind us of our main objectives. A trend I’ve observed in recent times in the Church is that we seem to deviate from our core values by raising arguments that shift our gaze away from our goal. Little wonder Paul wrote to Timothyabout these things and mentioned this nothing less than 3 times in his letters. 1 Timothy 1:3-4 Don’t let them waste their time in endless discussion of myths and spiritual pedigrees 1 Tim. 4:7 Don’t waste time arguing over godless ideas and old wives’ tales, instead train yourself to be godly. 2 Tim 2:16 Avoid worthless, foolish talk that only leads to more godless behaviour Now that I’m saved, I’ve been translated in God’s eternal kingdom, what do I do; am I to live my life normally as I used to, expecting a mighty power to overwhelm me one day and change everything? No, there is a lifestyle we need to cultivate and by the Help of the Lord, I’ve gr

Where did the Fourth 'Man' go?

Image
In my recent study of the Book ‘When God Doesn’t Make Sense’ written by Dr James Dobson, there is this lesson I learnt and would love to share… ‘ Daniel 3:21,25,26   21 Then these [three]men were…cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.  25 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.   26 … Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the fire.   In this Biblical story, which I believe we are familiar with, of the three Hebrew friends who refused to bow down to the image of king Nebuchadnezzar, and were in turn punished for it by being thrown into a furnace of fire. The catch is this, 3 of them were thrown into it (vs 21); when the king looked into the fire, four men were seen (vs 25); and when he ordered them to come out, only the three friends did (vs 26). Where’s the fourth man, where did he come from, where did he

What Do You See?

  24:…and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it… 29: “ Come, ” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30: But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “ Lord, save me! ” (Matthew chapter14) The above verses were curled out of the Biblical event of Jesus walking on water, which I believe we should be familiar with. Now, let’s check some points there. Vs 24, the winds arose and the disciples steered against it but no one drowned, Vs 29, peter walked on water but didn’t drown, but in Vs 30, peter began to drown. What went wrong? Vs 30, Peter saw the wind… Many-a-times, we, as children of God face different trials but that really isn’t a problem because while Jesus was here on earth, He promised us that; … In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. (John 16:33) But

United We Stand

In our study of Scripture, have we ever noticed one word that seems paramount in the heart of God, it can be found in verses which reveals unto us God's eternal plan; ".. .to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ." - Eph 1:10 ":until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God..." - Eph. 4:13  Yes…. It’s Unity God doesn't just desire to build a church in the name of a church, but a united church; in fact a gathering of un-united hearts cannot stand. "Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." - Ecc. 4:12 It is the heart cry of God to the church today that we be united, because without it, there won't be progress. Also checking through scriptures, we see how much God respects the power of unity "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them" - Matt. 1
