What does God say ?

Proverbs 3:6
Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.

What does God say? This needs to be the first question we ask in everything we do. His will is the most important thing for a believer.

Whether it's marriage or buying a house or concerning the next educational course, we need to know His will. Whatever decision it is, you need to know what God has to say. His will is the safest place to be. The most dangerous place is to be outside of Gods will. His will guarantees his provision, his direction, his peace and his protection. This verse says seek His will in all you do and He will show you the right path. Whenever you are to make a decision, big or small, take your Bible, your notebook and invest some time with God, seeking His will concerning the decisions you are supposed to make. God is not hiding himself from you. He wants to be involved in every area and aspect of your life. He enjoys showing you the right path so you can succeed. His greatest joy is to see his children bear much fruit. God is good and his mercy endures forever.

Friend, seek his will. Take some time and be alone with God. Tell him, I need to know what you have to say concerning this and concerning that, my house and my children and so on and so forth. The Holy Spirit will begin to reveal Gods will to you through the word and you will never be the same. Seek his will before you make any decision and you will be glad you did. Praise God. Jesus is Lord.

Without me, you can do nothing!

John 15:5
I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

Today, I want to focus on the last part of this verse which says Without me, you can do nothing. No matter where you are and what you are doing, acknowledge, without Jesus you can do nothing.

The Bible says the Lord was with Joseph and He was a prosperous man because the Lord caused everything he did to prosper. It's very important we learn how to work with the Lord. Every champion that you read about in the word knew and understood how to work with God. Paul had a very successful ministry. He worked with God and the Bible says he ministered the word in Ephesus and God worked special miracles by the hands of Paul so much so that their partnership impacted entire Asia. Think about it. Glory to God. Anyone who learns to walk and work with God will have an eternal impact whether he or she is a mechanic, a teacher or some government employee. It will work for anyone, anywhere and anytime for God is no respecter of persons. Glory to God. Without God, it's a total waste of your time, energy and money. Stop! Invite God into your house, your job, your business or whatever it is that you are doing. I assure you, you will not be disappointed.

Friend, make the Holy Spirit your senior partner. Learn to walk with Him. Learn to work with Him. Study the scriptures and find out how the heroes of old did it. Jesus said I always please my Father, my senior partner. His ministry is still impacting people today. Without Jesus, you can do nothing.

Be confident about yourself.

John 6:48
I am the bread of life.

Jesus knew who he was and believed it completely. It was evident in the way he spoke and lived. He had no doubt about himself, he had a self image and knew his worth.

He didn't copy or imitate other people. He knew who he was and lived accordingly. We are living in a generation where people have no self image, a generation where folks are not confident about themselves hence they always try to imitate others. They dress like other people, they talk like other people, they walk like other people and want to be like others. Be yourself. Be who God created you to be. There are many duplicates in this world. Be an original. Jesus said I am the bread of life. What confidence! What self worth! What self image!

Jesus believed every thing the Scripture said about him. He took it as the truth and made it his identity and lived by it. Friend, discover yourself in the word of the living God and make it your identity and live by it. You are the light of the world. You are a new creation in Christ. You are the righteousness of God in Christ. You are a child of the Most High God. The word of God is your image and your worth. You are an original. Be confident about yourself.

Become untouchables!

Isaiah 54:17
No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord , And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord.

Weapons are formed against you this very moment. Plans, schemes and strategies are being designed and employed against you for your destruction. Satan is totally committed to your destruction and is working tirelessly to bring it to fruition.

The Bible says although weapons are formed against you, not one shall prosper. Not a single one shall prosper. Hallelujah. There is a place in God that makes you untouchable to Satan and his attacks. It's the place of love. God is love and he who walks in love, lives in God and God lives in him. Love is the safest, the healthiest and the wealthiest place to be. Satan cannot touch love. He has no weapon that can succeed against love. You have the love of God in you. You can walk in love because God has given you the ability to do so. As you acknowledge Gods love for you and in you and make a decision to walk in Gods love towards others and yourself, you will enter a safe zone.

Friend, don't waste your time being mad and angry at other people because you see, its very expensive and it opens the door to Satan's attack. Instead love people and forgive them just as Jesus loved and forgave you even when you didn't deserve it all. Jesus walked in love and He said Satan has nothing in me. Love never fails. Become untouchable!

Take time to listen.

Proverbs 1:33
But whoever listens to me will dwell safely, And will be secure, without fear of evil.”

Our God is a living God. He speaks and He listens. He has something to say about every area of your life. He dwells in every believer through the Holy Spirit. Matthew says Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.

Since Jesus is alive, expect to hear from him. In this busy world, many times we don't take the time to listen to what He is saying. We are consumed with what others are saying or what the news, government, doctor or some situation or challenge is saying. God is speaking all the time. Listening to what He is saying must be the priority of every believer. If you take the time to be spiritually sensitive and listen to him, the verse says you will dwell safely and will be secure without fear of evil. Jesus said my sheep hear my voice. There was no doubt or uncertainty in his statement. He was very clear and certain about what He said. My sheep hear my voice. Praise God. Expect.

Friend, the world is filled with many voices. But the only voice that will impact your life is the voice you choose to hear. Jesus said consider carefully what and how you hear. I encourage you to listen to Gods voice and let his voice transform your life and secure it for ever. Spend time in the word and in prayer every day. Do not miss your word based church. Keep Jesus in the centre of whatever you do and you will never be the same. Jesus is Lord.

Serve your generation.

Acts 13.36
“For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, was buried with his fathers, and saw corruption

Of all the generations since the beginning of time, God released you in this generation because this is your time, this is your season and this is your generation.

We are born in this generation to serve this generation. God has given us specific callings and gifts to serve our generation. Every human on earth has something unique that others need. No one is insignificant and useless. Each one is valuable and has something to offer. This verse says David served his generation. When Jesus came in the flesh, He said I did not to come to be served but to serve and give my life as a ransom for many. What does serving your generation mean?  Serving your generation simply means doing what God has called you to do and using the gifts he has given you to bless people.

Jesus said the one who serves is the greatest among you. He was talking about the ones who do what God has called them to do. David fulfilled Gods plan and served his generation. Friend, fulfill Gods plan for your life and serve your generation. We need you, your calling, your gifts and your service. You are important. I declare, you will serve your generation with passion and joy and be a blessing to many In Jesus name, Amen.

Be bold and talk about God.

Genesis 39:2‭-‬3
The Lord was with Joseph, and he was a successful man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. And his master saw that the Lord  was with him and that the Lord  made all he did to prosper in his hand.

When I read these verses this morning, I heard God say to me, 'How did the Egyptian know about the Lord?' That's amazing to me.

You see, no matter where Joseph was, He always spoke about the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He was so vocal about it that Potiphar knew that it was the presence of the Lord that made this young man successful. Pharaoh had a dream and no one in his kingdom could interpret the dream but when Joseph came to help Pharaoh, He said It's not in me but God is the one who will interpret it for you. No matter the place and no matter whom he's talking to, Joseph always acknowledged God. He boasted and bragged on God everywhere He went and it was evident in everything He did.

Friend, don't be ashamed to talk about Jesus. Be bold and let your world know, Jesus is the reason you are healed, saved, delivered and blessed. Paul said I am not ashamed to talk about Jesus even if I have to lose my life for it. Jeremiah says let the one who boasts, boast that he understands and knows the Lord. Hallelujah to Jesus. Jesus is Lord.
