R.E.P GOD

By

“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to breaking of bread and to prayer… All the believers were together and had everything in common” Acts 2:42 & 44  [NIV]

#2: Your personal relationship with Jesus is key. This is the second derivative of Victory. Do not move without the Holy Spirit. Has God sent you on that journey? If not, then do not do it. Do not just do things because you can. I am passionate about seeing people grow spiritually so much that my first book ever, New Creation Reality, is about spiritual growth. I have crystalized spiritual growth into three words and to help you remember these three things is the acronym– R.E.P. For you to grow spiritually, the first thing you have to pay attention to is your Relationships [R for Relationships]. You will grow faster spiritually if you make friends with people for which spiritual growth is priority.

I believe in the Word of God and reading the Bible. But note that the New Testament church did not have the Bible as we know it today, but they still grew spiritually. One of their greatest strengths was relationships; they kept fellowshipping together. Remember, you are the average of the three people you spend the most time with. Spiritually you are the average of the three people you spend the most time with. So on a scale of one to ten, ten being the highest, if you are a nine and you spend most of your time with people that are not going anywhere, say one is a zero, one is a two, and the third person is a one. Zero plus one plus two plus nine equals twelve, divided by four gives you a three. You will be struggling to maintain a three; meanwhile you are a nine.

Eagles do not play with chickens too much. I am not talking about segregation or saying you are better than anybody. What I am saying is, who are the people that are spurring you on in the things of God? Do you have any? Relationships are so important and that is why in God’s Favourite House, we place very strong emphasis on Life Groups. E is for Experiences. Your experiences in God, with God, experiences from others testimonies, and your personal testimonies, affect your growth spiritually. And P is for Practices. What are your daily practices and habitual behaviors? Some key practices include reading your Bible, praying, fasting. It will change your life spiritually. So to grow spiritually you need to R.E.P. God.

Prayer [song]: Show me Your way, that I may walk with You. Show me Your way, I put my trust in You. The cry of my heart is to love You Lord, to live with the touch of Your hand. Stronger each day, show me Your way. 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: 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 ...

THEME: MAKE ROOM FOR GOD 2Corinthians 1-9 You should not be among the many that are living without the precious things God promised.The LORD Jesus Christ said in John 16:24" Until now you have asked nothing in My name.Ask,and you will receive,that your joy may be full. In making plans for your life and your future,stop focusing attention on only what you think you can do and what your resources can carry. You will be limiting God by so doing.When you plan for only what you can achieve by your personal efforts,you exclude God's grace and weary yourself with much toiling and energy exertion.Instead,you should make room for God in every plan you make. Plan to grow bigger and better in every unfolding phase of your life. When you plan for bigger things than your known resources can carry,do so with clear understanding that only God will help you to attain your desires.This understanding drives you to your knees.As you consistently pray and hold unto God,miracle are birthed...
