The Reason

By
Rom 8-11

“The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you” Rom.8:11

Jesus is coming again! For those of us that have our faith in Jesus, this is what keeps us going. The fact that Jesus is coming again and this physical body will be changed. I do not know about you but I want to be raptured. I want to experience rapture. I want to be alive so that when the trumpet sounds, I will know how it feels to just… That would be awesome! Paul says, “If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable” 1 Cor.15:19. In other words, if all we live for is for Fridays and Saturdays then we are in trouble. But thank God there is a Sunday.

The reason Easter is repeated year after year is to remind you and I that He will not leave us in the grave. He will not leave you and me in the grave. So you may be feeling the press, the pressure and the pain but God is doing something in you so that He can do something through you. You may be wondering why you are going through so much pain, and so much press, and so much pressure. The good news is, God is doing something in you so that He can do something through you. Your press is required for your oil to flow. Your press is required for your wine to flow. And for the juice of your life to flow, your press is required. It is not palatable but it is required.

So when someone sees how anointed you are and the person says you are just lucky, just smile because the person has no clue about the scars, the pressure, and the pain, but you know. So remind yourself consistently that the press is working out something for you.

Madeleine L’Engle says, “Easter is always the answer to ‘My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me!’ So many people are going through the season of ‘My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me!’ The good news is Easter is the answer! And the answer is, when you go through Friday you are going to experience Sunday. I can tell you stories of seasons of Friday in my life, seasons when I could not see any hope and I thought life was just going to be Friday. Listen, the same way you did not control how you got to Friday, the same way it is not in your power to control your resurrection. But it is going to happen in Jesus Name.

Prayer: My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’ Blood and righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly lean on Jesus’ name. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; all other ground is sinking sand. Amen!

His Channels

By
Rom.1:20 For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God [with emphasis]. So far we have examined three channels God uses to speak to us. If you are not reading your Bible consistently, if you are not listening to messages over and over again, and if you are not accountable to other believers, you do not have believers that are speaking into your life, you have already missed three main channels God speaks through. Channel #4: God speaks to us through His Creation. Ps.19:1 The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. 2 Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. 3 They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. 4 Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world [with emphasis]. God’s cre...

THEME: You Can Create Whatever You Desire John 16:21-27 The instrument with which you exercise dominion over creation is your mouth.You can create whatsoever you desire by speaking that thing into existence.Whatever you say begins to exist in the spiritual form.Jesus said in John 6:63,"The words that I speak unto you,they are spirit,and they are life". In like manner,you create whatever you say and the things begin to exist in the spiritual form.What you create through words also have life and they continue to live until they find physical expression.  This is exactly what happens when you pray.The things you declare in prayer come alive and begin to exist in their spiritual form.They remain in that spiritual form until they are converted to their tangible equivalent through work. Jesus said,"until now you have asked nothing in My name.Ask,and you will receive,that your joy may be full" (John 16:24). Don't make the mistake of relaxing after you have pray...

THEME: RETREAT TO REFRESH READ: Matt. 11:25-30 When some musicians want to release great songs, they retreat to secluded places where they can reflect, meditate and create. Some choose places overlooking the vast oceans, some choose where there are waterfalls, and some choose places with thick forestations.  As they observe the beauty of nature, the swift moves and songs of the soaring birds, the colourful flowering vegetations, the serene beaches and the unending waves of the nearby waters, they capture inspiration that helps them develop the hit songs they have been longing for. I met one of the world’s renowned musicians in Atlanta, USA a few years ago where journalist surrounded him and were asking what he had come to do and why his beards had grown so much. He said that his last album did not perform well enough and he was incubating another one he wanted to release that would perform better. He said that he needed to pull away from the Noise of New York and California ...
