Give God the time He needs to bring you justice
By this time in the book of Second Kings chapters 18 and 19, the Assyrians had humbled most nations in the then known world, excepting Egypt, and a very few others they had yet to turn their attention to. Judah was one of them. And now they felt it was time to add Judah to […]
It is costly to worship men
A lot of what is misconstrued as hustling is actually a devotion to entering and remaining in the good books of certain people whom we hope to derive benefits from. You are going to find a whole lot of it in the corporate surrounding. Many do it to secure employment, remain employed and scale up […]
Noise is not faith
Noise can sound like faith but a lot of it can be empty or without substance. Generally, I cannot stand noise, except on rare occasions when I sense that it is prompted by the Spirit of God. Such noise can be pleasant and it speaks for itself. But can I say categorically that a lot […]
Leadership is not for everyone
What is guaranteed to damage an organization irreparably is to run on the belief that just about anybody can take up leadership in it. That system will not recover from such a mindset. Leaders are born, then made through experience and exposure. Don’t put the most senior up by age or position. The truth is, […]
Allow God to build his wall around you
You need people who believe in you to surround you. Those who will vouch for you, stand for you, and say categorically that they know you. Unfortunately, many crowd up their lives with people with whom they share only a flitting relationship. Those who are there for the benefit, when your life can dispense such […]
Faith From Outside The Wall
Those outside the confines of our acknowledged community or commonwealth of faith have astounded even the Lord Himself with the sheer beauty of their belief and trust in the Lord. Whereas within the wall itself, you will find many being like the fig tree having a lush green foliage with practically nothing as touching fruit to […]
The Trouble of Those That Trouble You
In our passage, we see how the Syrians created a blockade against Samaria, the capital city of Israel. Nothing was allowed in, and no one went out. No food, no water, nothing. Crops are not grown in the city, so it has to come from outside. As a result of the blockade, the city died […]
Abusing the Gospel
By going in the prophet’s name to collect money and expensive clothes from Naaman the Syrian, Gehazi became the grandparent of those who abuse the gospel of salvation. Gehazi himself had been with God without knowing God. His heart was corrupt and full of lust for material things. He was not saved even though he […]
How Christ Leads Us to Depend on Him
I will like to share something the Lord revealed to me recently out of a familiar passage in the New Testament, the Lord’s Sermon on the Mount. The Sermon reeled off a number of injunctions that you and I will likely consider impossible to adhere to. You have probably read or skimmed through some of […]
WHO DO YOU TAKE YOUR DOUBT TO?
We suffer from doubt. We all deal with doubt. We are on one side of eternity, and between us and the other side is a great thick fog. We do not see what lies at the other end clearly. Sometimes, we are given to see vaguely. Apostle Paul calls it seeing through a glass darkly. […]
