Lift your eyes from where you are

When God told Abram to lift his eyes and look in Genesis 13:14-15, He was inviting Abram to see beyond his current circumstances and limitations. God wanted Abram to see the vastness of the land that He was going to give him and his descendants. Similarly, God invites us to lift our eyes from our present circumstances and limitations and see the possibilities and promises He has for us.

God's promises often seem impossible to our human understanding. But as believers, we are called to have faith in God's ability to fulfil His plans for our lives. It is through faith in God that we can carry His presence in our hearts and see His power manifested in our lives and our works.

But we need to be prayerful and grounded in the knowledge of the word of God to be able to carry God's presence in our hearts always and believe Him in impossible situations and amid adversities. The more we study and meditate on the word of God, the more our hearts will be enlightened and our faith will grow. 

God is looking for people who are willing to believe Him enough to carry His presence and power into the enemy's territories and see Him manifest His glory through them. He wants people who are bold and courageous in faith, through whom He can do great things that nations are yet to see. If we have faith in God's ability and allow Him to lead us, He will open great doors of opportunities to make more impact in ministry and grow in our leadership influence.

So let us take our eyes off our challenges and focus on our strengths and the resources we have been given in Christ, and let us bring the glory of God to the people of the communities or the nations where we are serving God. Let us continue to carry God's presence in our hearts, believing that God can do the impossible through us. And as we walk in faith and obedience, we will experience God's awesome power in our lives and ministries.

Power of Persistence

Power of Persistence  And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them. Judges 8:4 Persistence is essential for pursuing a significant purpose and achieving a vision that seems beyond our strength. Despite their exhaustion, Gideon and his soldiers continued their pursuit of their enemies, demonstrating the power of a clear and compelling goal to inspire perseverance in fulfilling a dream. Persistence allows us to remain consistent and steadfast in our pursuits. Without a great vision, we may struggle to rise from complacency and actively seek God with the dedication needed for constant prayer, which builds a strong spirit, deepens our faith, enhances our understanding of the Word of God, and helps us grow in alignment with our vision.  God does not use casual seekers for the advancement of His kingdom; He relies on those who are consistent and committed. Persistence in prayer and faith is key to receiving an...

You are worthy O Lord..

You are worthy O Lord.. The twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, "You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, honour, and power; for You have created all things, and for Your pleasure, they are and were created." — Revelation 4:10-11 Even with the privilege of sitting around God's throne, these elders demonstrate a deep sense of humility before Him. When the living creatures give glory, honour, and thanks to God, the elders do not remain seated, proud of their crowns. Instead, they rise from their seats and fall down before God. In worship, they lay their crowns at His feet, proclaiming that He alone is worthy of glory, honour, and power. The crowned elders understand that there is only one King, and that King is God, deserving of all glory despite the honour they have been given. Like these elders, we must not allow the privileges, gifts, bles...

The Word became Answer

Image
The Word became Answer RSV, John 1:14: "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father." The Word, or Logos, became human as God's response to our need for salvation, addressing all our spiritual needs and the limitations we face as humans. The written word, the scriptures, is also provided by God to meet our needs. However, many struggle to find answers to their challenges in the scriptures due to their lack of understanding of them. But those who genuinely seek truth from the scriptures and are willing to obey God's guidance will find that the scriptures are revealed to them, providing a word from God. Casual reading of the scriptures will not yield meaningful benefits. Our comprehension of the scriptures plays a significant role in how we apply them and the guidance we receive. Therefore, we must not only read the scriptures but also study them carefully to uncove...
