GIVE YOUR BEGOTTEN MIRACLE

Reading about Abraham, I have realised that sometimes what we desire so much from the Lord can actually steal our love from Jehovah.

Let me break it down. Did you know Abraham's joy of having Isaac in his old age actually made him a love-slave to his son? Yeah... That's it! Have you thought of the fact that sometimes the things you have been praying and desiring from the Lord often times come to take the love you have for God. For example, receiving the job employment, marriage, fruit of the womb, etc you have been praying for. See how the growth in your ministry has made you forget God, your job has and taking all your time now, your husband and wife is all your heart cries for... Have you noticed it?

Often times the outburst of joy hailing from our hearts for our breakthrough actually makes the breakthrough an idol if not well managed. Selah.

I pray that just like Abraham gathered the confidence to sacrifice Isaac amidst he being his only begotten son, may we receive the boldness and passion to sacrifice our breakthroughs and chase hard after God regardless of the things we cherish so much. Amen.

I don't know if I may continue this message but let me say to be continued 😊

LAW OF KARMA OR GRACE?

God is so good. Yeah! The man is very good. And I will let you know my reason(s) below.

I have been reflecting on a Christian who told another that the law of Karma will deal with him... Seriously! Are you sure you're a Christian? I tend to grieve each time, looking at the fact that, a tongue speaking Christian made that statement. Anyway, let me just open your eyes to something and after that, sit and analyse if you will still stand by that.

If God is to punish us for what we did in our past, then what would be the essence of salvation? What would the value of accepting Jesus Christ into our lives be? Do you think the man didn't know the law of Karma when He came to die?

Can we just shut up! For how long will we continue to let our actions and words drive people out of God's assembly and make others believe Christianity is evil and full of hypocrites?

Today, instead of Christians standing with people in hard times, they rather condemn you. When a sister is not enjoying the gift of fruit of the womb, the conclusion is that she aborted during her youthful age; when a young lady doesn't marry early, it is said that she lived a bad life during her youthful age, to mention but a few.

I'm glad not every Christian possesses this attitude. Some have chosen to stand out. Are you going to be one or you still want to live like those in the world?

Being a Christian isn't enough, my dear. Transform your mind with the renewal of God's word so that you don't end up conforming to worldly standards. We can make a difference.

God's Grace is bigger than everything we've been through. His Grace is to help us overcome sin, not a warrant to enjoy sin. Let's stop driving people away from Christ into the world.

Jesus Christ paid it all on the cross! He paid for our past, present and future. Come to Jesus now. Don't let anything hold you back, my cherished one.  Jesus is life.

IDENTITY INVESTMENT

I can say without doubts that the Whites will always do well with their talents than Africans!
I know you will ask me why? Don't get angry or emotional yet! I believe by the time you will be done reading, you will be enlightened to experience a different paradigm. 
Whites or most Whites will take time to identify the talent(s) their child is carrying, and then invest into it for the child's best.
Bring that to Africa! No! Most Africans would want their child to become someone prominent without even identifying what drives the child's passion. All they care is I want you to become a great lawyer, engineer, pilot, etc. Almost exorbitant careers. Careers that will bring huge earnings but probably less or zero fulfilment to the child.
Now, most African children graduate from the universities with careers they don't have passion for, simply because mommy, daddy, auntie, or family wanted them to undertake that.
What are we doing to our wards as parents and guardians?
Insisting or convincing your ward to embark on a career without knowing his/her passion or talent is like giving a delicious meal to a person without knowing he/she is allergic to the meal. Avoid making your ward take a path he/she is not destined to, simply because a friend, family member or colleague's ward took that path and was successful.
It's about time we start enquiring from God the real self of our wards; who they really are, in order to usher them into their future life.
Success isn't build on what's outside of man, what you think of him or what others think! It's goes beyond that. It's starts from the man himself! His mind, heart and total being. What he sees in himself and what his Creator sees in him.
I know you've probably being nodding, shaking your head in pity or exhibiting other emotional appeals but what matters most is being informed in order to change our thoughts. Don't let what happened to you happen to your children. Create a better future for them and with them.
You know what? I don't have a topic for this article. I was driven [please don't ask me by what or whom], you can share your appreciation by giving me a title for this article. Thanks for reading!

X'MAS WORSHIP

Its quite amazing how the celebration of Christ's birth has been exchanged for moments of shopping and enjoyments. People do not celebrate the Messiah's birth in worship but how to raise money to have fun. The birth of Christ is for us to worship the king of kings like the 3 wise men did. The economy may be stagnant but your worship isn't! I pray even in this x'mas we worship the new born baby than we will ponder over economic instability. Jesus is all!

STILLNESS

I don't know what you are going through neither do I know what is of a challenge to you. But I came to encourage you this morning. Jesus spoke to the storm to be still when the disciples thought He didn't care, Mark 4:37. God is only watching you and about rescuing you at your point of need. What you need is faith. If Jesus spoke for the storm to be still after waking up then He will in your situation. Glorious! Jesus Christ believes in you even when no man does. Thats more than enough to make you push ahead. Bless you.

Be inspired!

LOVE ME

I am kind

Patience is my brand
I do not envy neither boost
I aint proud nor to dishonor others
I am self-seeking and will not easily get angry
Keeping records of wrong is far away from me
I rejoice with the truth and eschew evil
I protect, trust, hope and always persevere.
I never fail!
I AM LOVE! LOVE ME says the Lord.
2 Corinthians 13:1-7

You're Inspired!

THE SALIENT QUIETNESS

Loneliness is not the absent of people but the mind. A point where God cuts off everyone around you to have a one-on-one contact with you. The period of loneliness is not to worry but rather to ask God of his plans for you and pursue it. You are there. Don't stop!

Be Insired!
Nana JD is my name & I Touch Hearts!

BE STILL AND KNOW

The things that do not make sense before men are the secrets of God's power. God is saying stop striving, He is working on your behalf. All you need is to keep trusting. Jesus never FAILS! He has great plans for your life. Be still and know I am God (Psalm 42:10).
