Pursue Clarity!

By


“If people can’t see what God is doing, they stumble all over themselves” Prov. 29:18

Clarity is one thing but certainty is another. In fact, uncertainty is a permanent part of life. Many of us hate uncertainty but some of us have learned to grow very comfortable in an uncertain situation. Uncertain situations do not bother me rather I strive for clarity. Uncertainty never goes away. While we can afford to be uncertain, we cannot afford to be unclear. You need clarity of thought. The only thing you can be one hundred percent certain about is the past. I know theology crusaders say faith, we can be certain of God's Word. “God said it, I believe it, that settles it”. Didn’t the Bible say that faith is the substance [the certainty] of things hoped for?

I am aware about all that but I have also discovered that God's Word only brings clarity to “what”, in most cases “how” always remains uncertain. Faith is the substance of the things hoped for. There is clarity about “what” but “how” mostly, if not always, remains uncertain. Ask Abraham; look at the stars in the heavens so shall your seed be. Did he know how? In fact he was so uncertain about how he went to impregnate his house girl. Ask Joseph; you are going to be great, your brothers are going to bow to you! Did he know how? Did he know that he was going to be thrown into the pit or that he was going to go to prison? He had no clue. Ask David… and the list goes on and on.

A clear objective eliminates distractions automatically by taking out unnecessary options. Steve Jobs said, “I’m actually as proud of the things we haven't done as the things we have done. Innovation is saying no to 1,000 things.” Amazing! Why? Because he has an objective. Even as a Church there have been a lot of opportunities to go in different directions and we say no because we have a very clear objective. When my colleagues need to make a decision on a project or a direction, I say to them if it is not a triple yes, it is a no. So if you are wondering if you should pursue a project, if it is not a triple yes it is a no. If it is not a triple yes, it will be average. So the fact that something is good is not enough.

And when you say yes to Jesus, you are automatically saying no to satan, to darkness, to curses, to demons, to oppression, and to sin. That is a beautiful place to be. Say yes to Jesus!

Prayer: Holy Spirit, I receive clarity from heaven today, in Jesus Name

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...

You Must Forgive Yourself Hebrews 12:1-11 You have heard quite a lot about forgiving those that have offended you – and that you must do. It happens often that the person you must really forgive is yourself. You may have committed an offence or a sin and your conscience has condemned you, just as the Holy Spirit has chastised you. You may also have repented of this sin, confessed it to God and resolved not to go back that way. But you discover that the heaviness, clouded vision, and the erosion of confidence occasioned by the sin you committed continue to weigh you down. At such moments, you need to make another type of confession to God in order to regain your liberty from the weight that holds you down. You have to confess your unbelief in His word that says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). When you have genuinely repented of a sin and confessed it to God; and you have pleaded ...

Sin Stained...or Blood Washed?

By
This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.  (Hebrews 10:16-17) The Bible tells us that under Levitical law, an animal had to be offered every year to atone for the sins of the people. That word atone means "to cover" and it's used continually throughout the Old Testament. But let me tell you something exciting. It's never used in the New Testament. The Greek word used to describe what Jesus did for us on the cross is a different word altogether. It doesn't just mean "to cover"—it means "to remit; to do completely away with something." Do you know what that means? It means there is no longer a sin problem. Jesus solved it! When you made Him your Lord, He didn't just cover your sins, He put you into right-standing with God and re-created you by the Spirit of God a...
