Admit...

In the book of Psalms 23:1 David says, "The Lord is my shepherd..." This text implies that David considers himself not as a lion or a bear before God but as a sheep. In order to fully understand this text it's necessary to explore the characteristics of a sheep.

Research tells us that a sheep can see about six feet ahead hence they walk as a group and in close proximity to each other. That is why the shepherd has to walk ahead of the sheep. The sheep follow the shepherd. The shepherd can see about a thousand miles ahead. Therefore the sheep solely depend on the shepherd.

Likewise, if we want to get far in life, reach far beyond our abilities; we must get to a point where we admit that we are shortsighted. We can only see for about a short distance. The information and the knowledge we have is not enough to get us to higher places. It is therefore necessary to put our lives in the hands of a shepherd. This shepherd is Jesus.

Jesus is a good shepherd, in his arms we are safe. He is a kind of a shepherd that can see as far as the eternity. In his leadership, you can be sure to reach beyond what your mind can imagine.

What You Do While Waiting Upon The Lord , Matters! Part II

What you do while waiting for your breakthrough or your miracle could be a key to unlock your supernatural blessing! Think about this, the same prisoner whom Joseph interpreted his dream was the one who helped him out of prison. He spoke a good word for him before Pharaoh. Imagine if he had withdrew his gift; Joseph could have died in prison and never saw the great things God had in store for him! What are you doing today with what you have while waiting on God? Could it be possible that you already have a key to your breakthrough!

Yeah , I Tried...!

So there I was, you know, trying to convince God that I wasn't the right person for his blessing, I didn't deserve his favor and whatever that he thought I could become. I gave him all the reasons why I wasn't the best; I told him about my insecurities, my worst background that I don't even tell other people about. O, did he forget that I messed up where I ran away from? I told him all these to convince him that I was not the right person he can use! Seeing that nothing I said could convince him; I said to him, ok God but at least I'm satisfied with where I am. Everybody is good around me in fact I even have children and they are all happy here! Even though I had graduated with many degrees in Egypt but hey, I couldn't convince God not to bless me. Like Moses, in the above conversation;"How many times do we try and convince God that he cannot use us for great things? How many times do we believe our backgrounds, mistakes and insecurities when they tell us t...

This is another level of life.

When Jane, a twelve year old girl would cry in order for her mother to pay close  attention to her; Joane (Jane's mother) would quickly attend to her, pampering and  tapping lightly on her back with massaging strokes of her hand. At that young age, Jane enjoyed this experience so much such that it became her normal. However, as she grew older, she noticed that her mother had changed  her response towards her. She then realized that she had to do something different in order to regain her mother's attention... One of the obstacle that stands on our way or delays us from getting to another level of life is to try and solve today's problem with yesterday's formula. Just because a certain method worked wonders on yesterday's problem, does not necessarily mean that it can work on today's problem. Joshua understood this very clearly at the face of the raging river Jordan that was at a flooding stage. Instead of using the staff of Moses that parted the red see; Jo...
