HAVE A DREAM

Now Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his brothers; and they hated him even more. Genesis 37:5 Have a dream that involves your gifts, God loves dreamers. God kept Joseph alive because Joseph had a dream. Joseph could have died at the hands of his brothers but instead they threw him in a pit, later on they took him out of the pit and sold him into slavery. When he got to Egypt he served his master faithfully until he was accused of attempted rape by a vindictive woman and was sent to prison. In prison he was used by God to interpret a dream and eventually he got out of prison. When Joseph got out of prison, he accomplished his dream. Joseph did not perish in the face of adversity because he had a dream. How many people perish because they don’t have a dream that they actively pursue? Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. Proverbs 29:18 Don’t give up, keep dreaming. Some people, when they have failed or there is a delay, ...

CREATED FOR A PURPOSE

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:10 You are created for a purpose and the Bible refers to your purpose as good works. There are things that God wants you to accomplish here on earth. You are here on assignment therefore you have to discover what is that assignment that God wants you to accomplish. You have to ask yourself what your purpose is. You have to ask God what He wants you to do. Your purpose entails your gifts and passions. Your purpose is something you are both good at and passionate about. Stop telling others what they should do for you but ask what should I do? What can you do for others? What can you do for your family, church, community, nation etc.? What is your purpose? Ask the right questions, after hearing Peter’s sermon on the Day of Pentecost people asked the right question and that led to their salvation. Now when they heard this, they were cut to t...

BROUGHT NEAR BY THE BLOOD OF CHRIST

But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. Ephesians 2:13 There is power, wonder working power in the blood of Jesus and we have been brought near by the blood of Christ. The Bible clearly states that there is no forgiveness of sins without the shedding of blood. And according to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no remission. Hebrews 9:22 In the Old Testaments they relied on the blood of goats and bulls to cover sins which was just a shadow. In the New Testament the Lamb of God shed His own blood on the cross for the remission of sins. When we believe in Jesus and receive Him as our Lord and Savior, our sins are removed, totally blotted out and now we have been brought near.   Now we can have a living relationship with the living God. Thank God for the blood of Jesus that washes our sins as white as snow. “Come now, and let us reason together,” says the...

TEACH OTHERS

And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. 2 Timothy 2:2 You have to train others especially those you have been given the privilege to lead. As leader you should not withhold anything from your followers. Learn to share your wisdom with others. Selflessness is the key to greatness. Other people like to withhold things from others and are not prone to share with others how they made it. Consequently, they don’t become great in life. However, those who are liberal do become great. The world of the generous gets larger and larger; the world of the stingy gets smaller and smaller. A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed. Proverbs 11:24-25 (MSG) Giving something away is one major way of ensuring that it stays with you. When you liberate others you truly liberate yourself. You don’t reduce yourself by giving. On the contrary, you can only go up by giving. ...

UPGRADE YOUR MIND

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Romans 12:2 When you renew your mind, you upgrade your mind and when you upgrade your mind, you upgrade your life. You can change the way you think and when you change the way you think you change your life. Before you got born again, you had a certain thought-pattern; you held certain views that may not necessarily be correct. However, when you got born again some of those views may not have changed. These views may keep you from making progress in your life. Henceforth, you need to renew your mind and change your thinking. You need a mental upgrade. You need to engage in exercises that deal with the mind. The Word, prayer and reading the right books are some of the exercises that will help you renew or upgrade your mind. You need godly influence on your mind that will bring down strongholds or wrong thinking pat...

YOUR LIFE GOES IN THE DIRECTION OF YOUR WORDS

A man’s stomach shall be satisfied form the fruit of his mouth; from the produce of lips he shall be filled. Proverbs 18:20 What others say about you is not as nearly as important as what you say about yourself. People might say negative things concerning your life; nevertheless, God is waiting to hear what you say about yourself. What you say about yourself will override what others say about you, because God has given you authority and your life goes in the direction of your words. When you say the right words angels go to work but when you say the wrong words the enemy goes to work. Therefore, what you need to do is guard your lips and choose the right words to speak. He who guards his mouth preserves his life, but he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction. Proverbs 13:3 There is power in your words. Words have creative ability. If you will keep saying right things concerning your life, your life will go in the right direction. However, if you keep saying wro...

YOU ARE BLESSED

And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand saying, “In you all the nations shall be blessed.” So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham. Galatians 3:8-9 In the Old Testament you had to obey the Law of Moses in order to be blessed whereas in the New Testament, you have to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and thus become the seed of Abraham. By virtue of you becoming the seed of Abraham you are blessed along with believing Abraham. Hallelujah! If the Christian is blessed then how come do so many Christian struggle. The answer is ignorance. The enemy has kept many Christians in the dark through ignorance. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children. Hosea 4:6 Ignorance is costly. Therefore, refuse to be ignorant...
