Take Responsibility

Jer 5:21: "Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not:"

In the passage above, God described the people as foolish and lacking understanding. They are irresponsible because they can see and hear, yet they do not use these senses. As a result, they remain ignorant and fail to live according to God's commandments. The people have the potential to understand spiritual matters and experience supernatural realities, but they are unwilling to make use of the divine abilities bestowed upon them. Overcoming laziness and procrastination is essential if we want to enter into the rest that God has provided for us through Christ. Neglecting to pursue knowledge or take action to solve our problems demonstrates irresponsibility, which impedes our growth.

One of the reasons God saved us is to open our spiritual eyes, which were once blinded by sin, to perceive spiritual truths and the gifts freely given to us. This is why God often uses the word "behold" in the scriptures when speaking to us. However, we cannot truly perceive what God wants to reveal unless we make a deliberate effort to seek Him and study the scriptures. Without seeking God and delving into His word, we will not discover the truths that lead to freedom in Christ.

God will never force anything on an unwilling person. We must willingly and responsibly act towards God before He reveals His plans for our lives. It is our responsibility to be intentional about this so we can experience all the blessings Christ has secured for us on the cross. Let's not blame God for remaining in misery or slavery to the devil. It is on us to know our rights in God's kingdom and to exert our authority to possess what belongs to us. 

We must understand the truth about our salvation and deliverance and practically free ourselves from any limitations. The devil will not give up on any believer unless we fight back by exercising our authority in Christ over him. We must work out our salvation and deliverance from the spiritual into the physical through prayer and bold faith confession. Let's confess our salvation, deliverance, and healing out loud so that we can tangibly experience them.

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...
