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

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 ...
