#Lifelessons: What are you afraid of?

“Then they said to Moses, “You speak with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us, lest we die.””

Exodus 20:19 NKJV

Many Christians are like the Old testament Israelite - afraid to hear God for themselves so they depend on their Pastors, some Prophets or other wo/man of God to be their intercessors - talk to God on their behalf and tell them what 'God is saying' concerning their lives. 

This is a pity because many by so doing, remain a baby Christians still being fed milk. They miss the glorious personal relationship with Jehovah in their lives. They forget that Jesus had paved the way for us to enter, boldly, into the presence of God to obtain mercy and find grace in our time of need.

Whatever anyone else tells you should be an affirmation of what God has already communicated with you whilst you were in His presence.

Fear or laziness will not stop you from standing in the presence of Jehovah on the day for judgement. 

As I continue to grow in the Lord, I am not satisfied just hearing about Jesus from someone else. I want to know Him myself. I want to hear Him for myself. Second hand knowledge is no longer satisfying. It is now a lifelong desire.

Start enjoying His presence and get the fullness of  His mercy and grace.

#Lifelessons Grow Up!

A matured person knows what to do and is not afraid to take (tough) decisions to get things done. A matured person takes responsibilities for their decisions and actions irrespective of the consequences. Whenever you look for someone else to blame for your mess, you are demonstrating childishness. 

As a child, you get things done for you, decisions made for you - it was someone else's responsibility to feed, clothe and provide for you. Life was all about your own desires. You cry when things didn't go your way. You sulked in self misery. It was all me...me...me...

A child that refuses to grow becomes stunted - mentally, physically and emotionally, an abnormality. There is a saying that a fool at 40 will be a fool forever. 

How long have you been a Christian? How has your life been transformed by the word of God? Seek to increase in wisdom, knowledge and understanding of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Grow up!

“When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭13:11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Seeing the invisible...

In many Churches all over the world, the first Sunday of every month is dedicated for thanksgiving. We hear testimonies of what God has done in people's life in the past and currently.

It is easy to give thanks to what we can see, hear or feel. However there are many other things to give thanks to God for; those things we can not see but are there nevertheless.

When the King of Syria was after Elisha, his servant was frightened when he saw the army with multitude of horses and chariots sent to capture one man.

He exclaimed; “Alas, my master! What shall we do?” (‭II Kings‬ ‭6‬:‭15‬ NKJV)

But Elisha answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” And Elisha prayed, and said, “ LORD, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. (‭II Kings‬ ‭6‬:‭16-18‬ NKJV).

Give thanks to God for the wall of fire surrounding you and yours. And pray that God will open your eyes to see that those who are with you are more than your enemies...

Have a testimony filled new month.
