Get unstuck and move forward

Deuteronomy 1:6 NLT. “When we were at Mount Sinai, the Lord our God said to us, ‘You have stayed at this mountain long enough. 


God spoke to the Israelites at Horeb, echoing the same message to us, that we have dwelt long enough in our current situation or experience. No one should stay in one encounter with God or at the level of success for too long. Every level that God brings us to is just a transit phase and not a permanent position. God wants us to progress and move from one level of growth to a higher one in our walk with Him.


We have the ability in God to move forward in our walking with Him and we must not be satisfied with where we are. We should continue to pursue God and seek to understand Him better and better. The more we understand God, the easier it will be for us to please Him, to accomplish the purpose of God for our lives and to walk in the fullness of the Spirit of God. We will also be able to identify things that are of God and those that are not.


It's important to plan to do more than we have achieved in life, in our business or ministry. No level of growth or experience of the power of God is a permanent position. We should have a forward mentality and continue aspiring to do greater work and to make more impacts in the lives of people so that we won't plateau in the same spot. Success shouldn't make us lose focus on the great vision that God set before us. We must be occupied serving the Lord, irrespective of our accomplishments and the comfort that God brings to us.

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...
