Follow God's Leading

John 11:6 tells us that when Jesus heard about the sickness of his friend Lazarus, he did not immediately rush to pray for his healing. Although Jesus had a great affection for Lazarus, he also knew that the power he used in his ministry was not his own, but came from God. Therefore, he waited for God to direct him before taking any action. 

Similarly, we need to wait on God for guidance for every work we do in the name of the Lord in ministry so that we don't run ministry without God's participation of presence, power and glory. No matter how anointed we may think that we are, we are not the doer of God's work, but God. So everyone who is called by God must of necessity seek His direction before taking any action in whatever they do for God. 

As servants of God, we are called to carry out God's instructions and not merely perform without God's presence and power following us. No one should live or operate in ministry outside the will of God. The word of God should be our guide for living and our compass for direction in whatever we are doing.

We should remember that the God we serve is not lazy, and He will not condone any act of laziness or procrastination from us. God is always at His work, and He will always guide us to be occupied serving Him and impacting the lives of people around us. As we follow the Lord, He will guide us continually and move us forward. 

If you ever feel uncertain about the direction you should take, take the time to wait before God and ask Him to make His will clear to you. With patience and trust in God's plan, you will continue to advance His kingdom and make a significant difference in the lives of those around you.

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...
