THE NEW ARMY!!!

The world is in turmoil

World leaders are confused

Where did we go wrong they ask

Crash in oil prices

Scarcity, unemployment, famine, disease

Discouragement, Uncertainty, Dark times

The earth is shaking

But the Kingdom of God is here

I see God raising a new army in these times

They are being sharpened in His quiver for Use

The World is about to experience a revival like no other

The Church is about to take its rightful place

Make inventions, rule in government, occupy territories

Represent the Kingdom of God on earth

Rule in power,authority,sound mind, discernment, intelligence

Yes! There is a wealth transfer

This is the reason for your breaking!!

God is sharpening you so He can trust you

Don't give up!!

You are a member of the New Army

He has picked these men and women from the corners of the earth

You have been chosen for war!!

Your best days are just beginning!!

God's got you engraved in his palms

God Bless You

LOVE...

This is not about valentine..loool

I'm here thinking about how Jesus was oppressed and afflicted for my sake, yet he uttered not even one word. I mean, He had the power to take down those men with a single breathe, but He did not. He was beaten, he was tortured, but he didn't say a word. Like a lamb taken to be slaughtered and like a sheep being sheared, he took it all in silence. Isaiah 53:7-8 Every time  I think of  God's love for me, I am deeply humbled. It just makes me want to live for Him and please Him with my every action.

Have you ever loved someone to the point of willing to shed blood for the person? I mean that's deep!!! waaay deep!! We humans even struggle to compromise to live in harmony with ourselves, talk more of giving our rights up for someone else. No one wants to be treated less than he feels he ought to be. People fighting for respect, some fighting for feminism and equal rights all over the place..(I try to stay away from these). The honest truth is Jesus is our model for living and our model for loving. We should learn to compromise. Don't always expect I'm sorry when someone hurts you, I mean you can actually live without an I'm sorry if you put your heart to it. Stop waiting for people to fan your ego, life is too short for that. Some kids do not even have access to clean water, yet you're screaming the "Do you know who I am" old fashioned tale.

The world will be a better place if we all learnt to compromise. No, I do not mean you should sit and be oppressed. God hates oppression!! Anyone that oppresses you, just report to God like you would do your earthly father and watch God fight for you. Yea!! Been there, Done that!! Learnt that from Nabal's experience after he insulted David. He died within one week!! Talk about My King!! He doesn't joke with His beloved, including you and me. :)

Okay, this is me just urging you to love more, and let go more. Do your bid in your own little way, in your environment and watch your world become a better place.

God Bless you always!!

THE BREAKING

I apologize for this long post, but i hope you read to the end. If you feel you are in a phase where you are being pruned by God, I encourage you. You are not alone. We are all in this together. You may feel at a standstill or in a prison like Joseph, or going through Famine like Isaac, trust me God is working something out.

You see for a long time, I think God got tired of the mediocrity Christians introduced to their lives on earth contrary to His original intention for us. The purpose of the word of God which is our manual for living is to wash us clean. ".. Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her to make her holy and clean, washed by the cleansing of God's word. He did this to present her to himself as a glorious church without a spot or wrinkle or any other blemish. Instead, she will be holy and without fault." Ephesians 5:25b-27.

God's intention is for us to be pruned by his word and to be like Him. "We cannot afford to remain in the preschool finger painting  exercises on Christ. We need to get on with the grand work of art and Grow up in Christ. Let us leave the elementary teachings and go on to maturity, not laying the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death and of faith in God, instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgement..Hebrew 6:1-3." God wants us to experience more!! God wants us to get to the point of living a life of sacrifice and giving him pleasure. That is what breaking, pruning or washing does. You become a "mini-Jesus'' here on earth. Every one you meet has a taste of who God is, because your pruning makes you become like Him. Many examples of people who went through breaking in the bible exist. 

• Abraham, he left his family to walk with God. You can be sure leaving your comfort zone is a tough call to make.We are partakers of the blessing he brought down by reason of his obedience
• Moses had to leave the grandeur of the Egyptian palace to go spend time in the Desert. He is one of the greatest prophet and the one who saw God
• Joseph went from being favorite son to being sold into slavery, being betrayed, thrown into prison twice, before becoming prime minister. He didn't hear from his family for over 22 years. Yet, his role was influential as he affected the world at the time and God used him to preserve his family(the twelve tribes of Israel)
• Esther most likely waited for over three years before her turn to see the king came. Preparing yourself in myrrh and other fragrances should have been boring. She persisted and eventually became an influential woman who saved the Jews
• David was anointed to be king at a very young age, but it took a while before he ascended the throne, he faced threat to his life from Saul, he was Saul's instrumentalist, he led the men in debt, distress and discontent first,before he even became king of Judah. But all of these experiences shaped him to become a great king in the genealogy of Jesus.
• Paul went through his phase of breaking, which saw him do more exploits than the 12 who spent one on one time with Jesus.
• Jesus went through his phase of breaking as a man. He was tempted but didn't sin. "While he lived on earth, anticipating death, Jesus cried out in pain and wept in sorrow as he offered up priestly prayers to God. Because he honored God, God answered him. Though he was God's son, he learned trusting-obedience by what he suffered, just as we do. Then, having arrived at the full stature of his maturity and having been announced by God as high priest in the order of Melchizedek, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who believingly obey him."Heb5:7-10(msg)

If you feel you are being broken, I encourage you not to give up. I know its tough, been there myself,still am. But God uses the season to rip you off of attributes that are not like Him. Since you are His ambassador I don't think He would want you to act in ways contrary to his standard of procedure. You would just shame him, and make Him unhappy. Remember He has feelings like you and I. Since we are called, we have to be justified in order to be glorified. Everything works together for good, to them that are called according to God's purpose. Trust the process, it's intentional. It ain't over till it's good. God is a loving father, he chastises us for our good. His love for us is very real. Never lose sight of this and have faith in Him always. 

God bless you always!!

You Are A Target!!

Almost at the end of a 40 day fast, the past two weeks have seen me face crazy tests I didn't even realize I was being tested till I came out. Oh Yea I passed!! or I would like to think I did..lool!! Indeed, God knew what our challenges on earth will be, before urging us to guard our heart with all diligence for out of it flows the issues of life. 

If you walk closely with God or have a call on your life(I think every believer has a call..talk for another day), you are a TARGET of the enemy. Yes, he's watching you right now chasing hard after God and looking for a way to distract you. He's after you, your mind, your actions. So you have to ensure your spirit man is equipped enough to face whatever the enemy decides to bring at any point in time. I would spare you the details of my test, but I would give the devil a thumbs up for being a master at mind games.

You see it just starts with a thought!! Imagine an invincible wind close to your ear, whispering a sentence into your mind. The sentence settles in your mind, analysis occurs in your mind, and then you come up with a 15,000 worded essay all in your mind. This essay might include reasons why you should react contrary to God's standard of operation, discouragement, overwhelming feelings, fear of the unknown. The next thing you know, you turn off the engine of your boat and park on one spot because your 15,000 word essay has made you feel like, 'What's in this walk with God for me?' 'I don't see fruits yet'. 'How long do I keep walking till the manifestation of God's promises to me?' And then you stop your daily prayers cos of your feelings, you stop reading your bible, you stop feeding your spirit which is your nerve center and engine. Don't forget your mind does not get born again,(topic for another day). Now the enemy has you where he wants you!! Hit your bible and say No!!!

I know the walk with God can be tough, But we do not do it with our flesh and like I love to say, we have been equipped with everything we need to walk right by God's side on earth. I'd leave you with a scripture the Holy spirit comforted me with in this season; 1Thess5:5-8;" you are all children of the light and of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night.  But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet." 

Be ALERT, ARMED WITH FAITH, LOVE and THE HOPE OF YOUR SALVATION! You are a CHILD OF LIGHT and CANNOT BE CARELESS. GUARD YOUR MIND, CONTROL YOUR THOUGHTS AND REACTION, You ARE a TARGET of the Enemy!!.

May God keep you and cause His face to shine upon you.

God bless you!!
