In pursuit of God for God!

Image
Praise God!  It has been a while since I penned down a piece and today by the grace of God we get to indulge in a writing close to my heart, consistently in my mind and one I purpose to do and keep doing till my life is through.  So dig in! 😊 Like most Christians I have had days where I am pursuing God for God in an unusual manner and other times I feel like well, I could take a break for a day,  a week, or two and get back. At times, I find myself distracted by what we call issues of life and find myself derailed in my pursuit for God. There are times, I want to go hard after God but something always seems to come up and cause me again to fall back. Of course I get sad and say a thousand apologies to God, mumble a prayer amidst tears asking God to rekindle the desire for Him in me and most often, if not all times, it is my duty to ensure that the desire keeps going, never stopping.  Recently, I have been so overwhelmed having so much to do and at a point in prayer ...

TAKE PLEASURE MY LORD!

Image
Psalm 51:16-17 TPT For the source of Your pleasure is not in my performance or the sacrifices I might offer to You. The fountain of Your pleasure is found in the sacrifice of my shattered heart before You. You will not despise my tenderness as I humbly bow down at Your feet. Be ye aware of the posture your heart takes before the Lord! Be careful not to serve God and He doesn't delight in you. Beware of the idols you have enthroned in the place of God! Recently, I made a prayer and asked God, please, let me not portray physically before You what You do not see in my heart. I want to do every single thing, unto You, from the purity of my heart. Amen! Many people look so broken before the Lord via our natural sight, but when the Lord looks at them, He is in total dismay because their heart is nothing like what they show. We have come to a place where men have not embraced brokenness neither have they embraced desperation for God not understanding that, it is who they are in t...

IN THE PRAISES OF MEN: I WILL TAKE NO PLEASURE!

Image
... John 12:43 ... for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. How perfect this scripture describes a generation of men and women, Christians to be particular. Who have in them an embedded prideful spirit, are lukewarm and are being driven into deception to think that when men praise you, God must be so glad for you. How unfortunate that Christians are not aiming at well done, good and faithful servant ( Matthew 25:23 ) only to be in the limelight speaking of a God who does not receive glory from their lives. Of what importance, therefore, is it to live for God if He does not take glory from this very life? Of what value I ask, is a life that uses its strength and might in thinking they can do anything for God and not have Him, God Himself,  enthroned in their lives? Well, a decision has to be made by men and women, who profess God, that in the praises and glory of men, they will take no pleasure! If God cannot get glory from my life, it is not worth living the ...

THE LAYING DOWN OF OUR LIVES

Image
Been quite a while since I wrote but hope this does not just bless you but shift your heart that at the end of this read, you will find it in your heart to devotedly lay down your life to God, presenting your body daily to Him as a living and holy sacrifice in Jesus name. Amen! I realized lately that I have been desperately asking for Gods will for me and I have been pretty impatient with God cause it has taken me hours of tired praying, waiting on God only for Him to tell me to wait and that season of waiting is not as pretty as we make it look like. Frustrating as it had been, as I got even more impatient, I realized that as long as God spoke, my work was to believe. I totally hate puzzles and life felt like quite a bit of a difficult puzzle. The disjointed splotches of crooked experiences did not make sense to me and I cannot bring myself to fix anything since I know I will end up in confusion and frustration and even in the midst of all this things, God daily reminded me that I ...

OH TO BE WITH HIM!

Image
For the last few days, God by His mercy has been calling me to the place of intimacy with Him. I have found myself just seated in the office most of the times, no music but enjoying His presence, in a matatu but overwhelmed by Him, not because I am so good, or I pray so much...no...it is by His mercy. During this period, I have come to realize that as much as I long for Him as the deer pants for the water,  (Psalm 42:1 As the hart pants and longs for the water brooks, so I pant and long for you o God) God is also desiring me even the more. His desire is us and He daily longs for us to be found in Him. And every moment you are drawn to the Lord, you get to experience the great love of Jesus. There is this day my pastor gave us a benediction at the end of the service and his words were, 'I pray that this week you will live in the presence of God by the presence of God.' Whoa! This sunk in my spirit and there I prayed that it shall be so in my life. You see, as long as you have ...

DEAR MINISTER,

Image
There are a few things the Lord has been speaking to me about and today I write to you concerning one thing that has taken the place of God in our churches, in ministries and it is my prayer that the Lord will align every one of you to His perfect will concerning your life. We look at pride today. In Ezekiel 28:12-19 we get a perfect picture of who Lucifer really was and how he ended up been thrown of out of heaven and there is one thing that is key to him, he had harbored pride in him till he wanted to be equal with the Lord. We most probably have heard about him, he was the lead worship minister in heaven and he was so good at it, actually the best, but he allowed his life to be full of pride. Now, if you read that scripture, you notice that Lucifer was clothed with precious, beautiful stones. But as much as he was covered with beautiful valuables, he would only be beautiful and his beauty would only be seen when he got near God. He was not beautiful in himself, he was a reflector...

FORGIVENESS

Image
God has been dealing with one heart issue I had, of forgiving but always coming back to the offender and making sure I remind them how terrible they are and the actions they did. God has been teaching me about forgiveness and now it has been something I never struggle with, God dealt with it and no more of an unforgiving heart and spirit.So welcome, I will put down some lessons I learnt and I bet they will lift up someone😊. Forgiveness reflects the character of God. When a person forgives, they are reflecting the love of our Father. Ephesians 4:31-32 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.Be kind and compassionate to one another, FORGIVING EACH OTHER,JUST AS IN CHRIST,GOD FORGAVE YOU . This scripture hit my head hard, and I knew that it was not whether I felt to forgive or not, but I have been commanded to forgive, only that I had to make a choice, in which depending on the choice I made, there will be a consequence. I was a si...
