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

Can you ruin your destiny?

By
God had something in mind when He created you, right? But what if you’ve screwed up? Dropped out? Quit before it was over? Maybe you decided to do your own thing, it didn’t work out, and now you’re just sucking air and hoping there’s still hope. Guess what? There is! For God’s gifts and his call can never be withdrawn. (Romans 11:29 NLT) You don’t even have to start over. Every single thing you failed at? God will use it. (Romans 8:28) Every shot you called that was way off? God will repurpose it. (Proverbs 19:21) Every weakness you thought you had to hide? God’s power will show through it. (2 Corinthians 12:9) God created you for good works. As soon as you quit the past and sell out for Jesus, those works will happen. (Ephesians 2:10) He’s establishing you, step by step. (Proverbs 16:9) God’s a good Father. He knows how to bring you back and take you further than you ever imagined. (Ephesians 3:20) Spend some time really reflecting on these truths. What do you secretly hope is p...

Marriage Booster: Do You Still Love Her/Him ?

By
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; Ephesians 5:25 KJV "This is what I love about you" In the beginning you love everything about him. You are captivated by his six pack, his spirit of adventure, and his lion’s heart. In the beginning you love everything about her. You go crazy with the swing of her hips, a wink or a chewy chocolate cake baked especially for you. One day you wake up. Daily routine has shattered your rose-tinted glasses. “His six pack is not so hot anymore, instead his joints creak with every move.” Or: “It would be better if she swung her hips into a gym one of these days.” You realize: “My partner has changed.” Fortunately! He isn’t standing still. The problem is not the change but rather, that you are a creature of habit. It is your task to rediscover your partner and to simultaneously not forget why you went up the aisle with sparkling eyes to marry your bride/groom. MARRIAGE BOOSTER Write d...

Called to Be Peculiar

By
I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. (John 17:15-16) Being peculiar. That's not something most of us work to achieve, is it? But, you know, we should. God has called us to be peculiar—to stand out from the rest of the world as living proof of His power and His love (1 Peter 2:9). He doesn't, for example, want us to share the ailments of the world. He doesn't want us to share their sickness and poverty and failure. He's never wanted that for His people. He gave us a physical illustration of that during the time the nation of Israel was held captive in Egypt. Pharaoh had refused to set the Israelites free, so God had allowed a thick darkness to cover the whole land. The darkness was so dreadful throughout Egypt that no one moved for three days. "But," says Exodus 10:23, "all the children of Israel had light in their ...
