To one in search of knowing the one true God

Hey, long time! Trying to adjust to the new year ups and downs but thank God for the opportunity to jot down a few things! Of late, the Holy Spirit has been speaking to my life and what comes to my spirit is the urge and the need to ask God to prepare me to work powerfully in the area of my calling. The Holy Spirit being so loving and kind would prompt me to sing out almost every day, Lord prepare me to be a sanctuary, pure and holy, tried and true and with thanksgiving I will be a living sanctuary for you. I was led to read Romans 12: 1 offering my body as a living sacrifice then 1st Corinthians 6:19 my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit meaning I am a vessel and there is something I house. Great! I vowed to understand the fact that I am a vessel, what do I have in me? Because a vessel is a container, I am a vessel made by God for Him and by Him..So God is the potter and I am like clay being made into an earthen vessel. A potter is a maker of earth ware vessels and therefore ha...

Happy new year! A norm is always there that when new year comes, we set aims and goals to achieve. Mine has begun well, and as much as I need to achieve very many things, one thing I aim to do this year is to do the will of God. The beginning of this year, I purposed to dwell in the presence of God, to be found in Him and full of clear revelation of His Word and apart from this all to fulfill the purpose of God in my life. It gets to my nerves when I cannot attend some meetings or missions because I have things to work on and refusing to do them can be foolish! but I have come to a realization of something, times and seasons are the Lord's. I love how the Word puts it in Ecclesiastes 3:1 To everything there is a season, and time to every purpose under heaven. Great! So I stopped complaining to God about the feeling of missing out, the feeling that I was not living my purpose and I changed my prayer to Lord, in this season, I purpose to do your will. I sat down to now reflect...

Do you hear what I hear? Bags packed, sound of rustling wrapping paper,carols being belted out in cars and at homes, loads of laughter and happiness, closure of work, bonus on the salary.  I love Christmas but is this all Christmas is about?? To some we focus primarily on the gifts, the lights, the trees, and food but then if it is our point of focus then we inappropriately view this season. Jesus and His birth is the real reason for the season and we hence celebrate Christmas because it is not just a reminder of who came but why He came. It is not only that new born baby in a manger that speaks of Christmas but more of the man who died on the cross to die for our sins. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He SENT His only begotten son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. Jesus was sent, He left the comfort and glory of Heaven, took a human body so that we could have a relationship with God and obtain eternal life. What manner of love the Fath...

I recently opted to look into the book of Romans and how I love Paul and the kind of literature he uses as he writes. One thing struck my mind and it came about when I read this; Romans 2: 28-29 A man is not a Jew if he is one outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. No, a man is a Jew is he is one inwardly and circumcision is circumcision of the HEART, by the SPIRIT, not by the written code. Such a mans praise is not from men but from God.  What is circumcision by the Spirit? It is surrendering the heart to the guidance of the Lord and allowing your being to be controlled by God. It is being dead to sin and alive in Christ. We all are born are born with the sinful nature and with sin Psalm 51:5 Behold I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. and for one to receive salvation that comes by faith through grace in Jesus Christ God has to work on you and especially the sinful nature so that you receive newness in Christ Jesus 2 Corinthia...

My Christian life has always been one of a kind. I am one person who loves people who speak deep things of God and I seriously listen to them so much ensure that I keep my feet on the move to ensure that I do not miss any of their articles, preaching and posts. I had that intense desire to learn the things of God but I so much depended on what others got from God for a long time. I used to read the Word and pray and get to hear from God but I was like stuck to the norm of just hearing this portion from God and hearing the rest from what He had spoken to other people. It got tiring at some point especially when schedules got tighter that I could not keep up with the heavy sermons and at this point is where Jesus told me that He can speak to me too, I just had to have a lifestyle...This lifestyle was a life of hunger. This meant that I had to hunger and thirst each and every day of my entire life! That hit me, I was hungering for more of God and His righteousness but the moment I got f...

For the past one week , the Lord laid in my heart the burden of praying and not just praying but praying effective prayers. The prayers of a RIGHTEOUS man availeth much( James 5:16) and quoting you pray but there is no answer because you ask AMISS( James 4:2-3). This two verses kept me on my toes and I could not help but ask the Spirit of the Lord to teach and counsel me through the virtue of prayer. Prayer, we simply say is communication with God and communication is such where you send a message and the recipient answers to complete the cycle, now that's communication. So thinking on such lines, prayer requires no other treatment in heaven rather than answers because it is the breath of a regenerated Spirit but for this prayer to be answered, it has to be EFFECTIVE. Consistent effective prayer is the way to maintain an awesome and great Christian life but if your prayer life drops and your prayers are offered merely then your spirit man is already stooping low. I read a ...

Matthew 7: 21'' Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father in heaven. Many will say to Me on that day, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles? Then I will tell them plainly, I never knew you. Away from me , you evildoers. This is the verse the Holy Spirit laid in my spirit this morning and it has been ringing in my head all along. Let us talk about Judas Iscariot. He was amongst the twelve chosen disciples of Jesus and had the privilege to walk with Jesus and work with Him closely. He also had one of the most senior positions of being a treasurer of the twelve and unfortunately Luke calls him traitor. How could it be that someone who walked with the Lord almost in all His days on earth be a traitor and a thief?? Well, it is very possible especially in this generation we are living in. Judas, being the treasure, used to do sin and the fact that...
