NO UNLIMITED PRIVILEGE IN MINISTRY.

UNLIMITED PRIVILEGE? There is no such thing as an unlimited privilege in ministry! OR A privilege without limits. To every privilege in the ministry there is a limit! Never mistake your ignorance of the limit to a privilege you are enjoying in the ministry for the absence of one. Ignorance of the law of gravity is NOT the absence of it. A child who jumps off the roof of a skyscraper out of ignorance of the law of gravity is not saved from the implication of the law of gravity on him for jumping off the skyscraper! Every privilege we are given in life is within some limits. Ananias and Sapphira. No grace saved them from the consequences of their ignorance of the limits of the privilege they were having. They were privileged to come to the saving knowledge of God and belong to the church. That was a privilege. Not everybody had that! There were a lot of unbelievers then who hadn't yet come to the privilege of the saving knowledge of Christ. They were privileged to have such c...

STAND OUT!

STAND OUT! Matthew  7:28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:  7:29 FOR HE TAUGHT THEM AS ONE HAVING AUTHORITY, AND NOT AS THE SCRIBES. Over the years, as I watch and observe a whole lot of happenings around me and things that goes on in the lives of people around me, I realised one key hindrance to the manifestation of our true self is the fear of being different. We all want to conform. How is everybody doing it? When we find the answer, then We do same. So we fail to stand out. We fail to manifest fully what God has deposited in us. Because, more often than not, what God has deposited in you, even though may build on what others might have started under the very influence of God, will have a touch of difference from theirs. To serve a purpose that might not be readily obvious. Then comes the criticisms of men. But you must be bold and firm. Jesus came to meet the scribes, Pharisees etc preaching and teachin...

WHO YOU WANT TO BECOME, YOU MUST INTEND TO DEMONSTRATE.

WHO YOU ARE, YOU NATURALLY DEMONSTRATE. WHO YOU WANT TO BECOME, YOU MUST INTEND TO DEMONSTRATE, AND IN SO DOING, YOU BECOME! 1 Corinthians 13:11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. Every form of change in life is never accidental but intentional. If you want to see a positive change in this life, you must intend to change. It wont happen by chance. You must put up that effort. The Apostle Paul made this fact clear in the scripture above. He had a lot of experiences in this life, and statements of such folks who have gone through so great stuff must be taken serious. He said when he was a child, he spoke as a child, he didnt intend to do so, but being a child, he naturally spoke as one. But when he came a man, he didnt automatically speak as one, neither did he understand as a man, nor thought he as one. Because all his life he hasnt been a man before but a child. So when he gain...

YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN!

YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN! John  3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, EXCEPT A  MAN BE BORN AGAIN, he cannot see the kingdom of God. This sets the tone to a very wonderful and insightful conversation that transpired between a Pharasee and Jesus when Jesus granted him a private interview at night. It was this private interview that led to the popular verse among Christians: John 3:16. But before I attempt any thing on John 3:16, I want to touch on John 3:3, particularly "...EXCEPT a man be BORN AGAIN, he CANNOT see the kingdom of God. This statement, when said to the Pharasee, Nicodemus, he was shocked! He marveled! And its no new experience today. A lot of people in the church today are shocked to be told they must be BORN AGAIN. Why? Because a lot of religious activities today has replaced this very simple but all-important truth in the church. People have replaced being BORN AGAIN with a whole bunch of things that did never,  can neve...

HUMBLE YOURSELF.

HUMBLE YOURSELF! ITS GOD WHO HAS HIGHLY FAVOURED  YOU!! Luke  1:28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, THOU THAT ART HIGHLY FAVOURED, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. The Angel made Mary understand that it wasn't because of her virginity or her beauty nor any other thing that she has been chosen to be the carrier of the son of God but by the favour of God. Not just favour but a high form of favour. Mary can't be the only Virgin in her city thus for her to be selected for such a divine assignment is by a HIGH FAVOUR. Mary herself acknowledged that she doesn't qualify for what she has been called to do. She has been qualified and that is a privilege and a blessing. Luke  1:48 For he hath regarded THE LOW ESTATE OF HIS HANDMAIDEN: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. How many of us know that it is just by a high form of favour that we are privileged to do what ever it is that we do for God in ...

LET'S BE REAL IN OUR WORSHIP OF HIM.

LET'S BE REAL IN OUR WORSHIP OF HIM. John  4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.  4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. Worship God in spirit and truth. Be real about it! Meet God in spirit with the reality and the actuality. When God comes down in worship to heal your blindness, will God see a blind man who needs healing or a blind man appearing to be seeing before all men because he is pretending, and not because he is truly seeing? What's more important to you? Your healing or your faked personality? All the people Jesus saw and healed in when He walked this earth were in the real or actual state of their condition and showed the real state of their condition, and communicated the real state of their conditions! And Jesus attended to them accordingly! Mark 10:46-52 Blind Bartimaeus. John 5:-...

THE GREATEST BLESSING! The greatest blessing you have is not money. The greatest blessing you can have is not a house at one of the most expensive areas in town. The greatest blessing you can have is not to get a good job in a good company with a good salary that comes with all the incentives you can imagine in the world. The greatest blessing you can ever have is not to get married to the finest woman on earth nor the most handsome guy. The greatest blessing you can ever have is not to even live for a century. No. It's not long life. The greatest blessing you can ever have in life is not to have all your dreams and aspirations assume flesh in your life. The greatest blessing you can ever have in life is not to belong to the biggest church in town. O yeah! That's not the greatest blessing. The greatest blessing you can ever have in your life is not to be the richest person in the world. WHAT THEN IS THE GREATEST BLESSING ONE CAN EVER HAVE? THE GREATEST BLESSING YO...
