God's four days late

John  11:32 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. Many are times when the act of God remains a mystery to man, it takes only the spirit filled soul to decode little. Lazarus was sick, Jesus was called but he didn't showed up,  Lazarus who was the friend of Jesus,  at some point He will Lodge at his house after a long time of ministrations.  At some point one would wonder why Jesus didn't make a move when Lazarus was sick... The disciples thought it would be easier for Jesus than when he is dead.  We didn't understand.  Lazarus died despite having Jesus has a friend,  you also may have strong intimacy with Jesus, but when you called on Him for help at some crucial time, He didn't answer...  When Lazarus died, He had people to help contact Jesus, but yet it didn't moved Jesus...   You also have been to so many prominent men o...

Lord, Help Us to See

1 Corinthians  1:26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: Jesus didn't see people as losers, but as potential winners who had lost their way. He was moved with compassion for them... (Mark 6:34) He saw them through God's eyes, not weeds, but potential roses. And His perspective, which is often different from ours, brought out the best in them. Where others saw a woman with five failed marriages, He saw a restored sinner who could reach others in Samaria. They saw a blind man; He envisioned someone who could see. They saw a cripple; He pictured a man picking up his mat and walking away. They saw Mathew as a revolutionary tax collector; He saw a future disciple. They dismissed Zacchaeus as a crook; Jesus recognised a searching heart. When His disciples saw costly perfume and unnecessary expense, Jesus recognised the sacrifice of a grateful heart. Others saw an impulsive fisherman; Jesus saw a le...

The minute of Turbulence

Isaiah  41:10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Turbulence occurs when there is a disturbance in air flow. An airplane rides on the wind, and if that flow of wind isn’t perfectly smooth, then the plane will shake or move up and down with the “bumps” in the wind.  turbulence is not a danger to the safety of the flight, rather more of an uncomfortable inconvenience. So also in our daily living, we use to experience such times of Turbulence, at the place of work, in our finances, at home or in our  businesses,  Such times gives us a non-convenient situations of life, it sometimes lead to depression, lose of faith in God and even the thought of suicide.  But today God is telling you in His words that He will guide and protect you, no matter how hard the turbulence strike...  No matter how long it takes for the Airpl...

The Voice of Fear

 Kings  19:3 And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left his servant there. The Bible says Jazebel  sent this message to Elijah: ' you killed my prophets, and now... I am going to kill you'... So Elijah fled for his life (1kings 19:1-3) Often the voice of fear comes after you have had a Mountain-top experience, Elijah had just called down fire from heaven on Mount Carmel. Then Jazebel spoke, she didn't use chariots and solders; she didn't need to, her words intimidated him, depressed him and drove him into hiding. Look out, if you listen to the voice of fear you will be afraid of the next telephone call, the next medical prognosis or the next stock market report. Who are you listening to? Who are you going to believe, God or men? Neither the wind nor the fire nor the earthquake could bring Elijah out of his cave, only the still. Small voice of God could (1Kings 19:11-13). Our fears are often the ...

God will surprise You

Isaiah  43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. Can you imagine Moses surprised when God talks to him from a burning Bush? As does shut without opening. Paul is surprised by a man from Macedonia calling to him in a vision,... 'come over here and help us' (Act 16:9). Do you know that God is still the God of surprises who says, 'see, I am doing a new thing, now it will spring up; do you know perceive it? But there lies the challenge of our perception, we fail to recognise God at work, maybe you are saying,' I have prayed, claimed God's promises, done all I know to do, yet nothing seems to be working for me. ' then try this promise, 'therefore will the Lord wait, that he may be gracious unto you'...(Isaiah 30 :18). Notice the word 'wait', God has a plan and a timetable, many are plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpos...
