GROWING RIGHT

There are certain ways people fail. The road of failure is broad enough to contain as much people as possible at the same time. It has never been in God's agenda to institute failure therefore, no person is meant to fail so long he/she is in the covenant of the new testament and the blood of Christ Jesus. But in as much as it isn't the life of God or part of His agenda, so many still fail. Surprisingly, the mouth can be the gateway to bring it to pass. Before i unfold what that is, let's quickly see what prophecy is. Prophecy, in this context, simply means to make inspired declarations of what is to come.  My mentor always say this: "You are your first and best prophet."  How?  By you consciously making consistent declarations about your life and future. You musn't wait for someone in likes of a prophet or man of God to do that for you. This is very true but even as you make positive declarations about your life, you can unknowingly prophecy failur...

In today's article, i just want to be exact with the key difference you need to know about blending-in and standing-out. It's going to be a quick one. Before I became a born again christian, I had identity crisis. I wasn't so sure about myself or purpose (which is something that comes with not connecting with the Creator — God Almighty). And because I wanted to have a sense of purpose, I felt getting approval from my peers will give me that sense of importance and worth. So I began craving attention from everyone around; friends, classmates, family, etc. As a result of that desire to be accepted, I tried to identify with my peers (irrespective of behaviorial pattern) and all they do. You know, that 'i want to be amongst this people' kind of feeling.  I remember a particular day after school, i followed my friend to a field quite distant from my school to watch school boys play football (of which boys from my school participated). Though, it was really un...

Through scriptures and my personal experiences, I've learned that brokenness is powerful. That one act alone can attract so much. It's all there in the Bible. The brokenness i mean here is not just about prostrating and rolling on the floor (though it can be demonstrated that way). I say this because it is possible for someone who isn't broken inwardly to exhibit it outwardly probably for show because people are watching. In as much as brokeness is displayed with the physical act, it should emanate from within. Even scriptures says it. "The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit..." , it didn't say a broken body. " A broken and a contrite heart — these, O God, you will not despise". (Psalms 51:17). It is the heart (the inward, the motive) God checks before whatever the body displays. Hence, brokenness is the state by which you realize you're nothing without God and the act of opening up yourself to Him and depending on Him for any and ...

An eye for an eye is no new idiom. You must have heard of it or use it yourself. Either way, that idiom is something a child of God should never use but apply a different approach to it. An eye for an eye is a language used by those who seek justice (a repay) of wrong(s) or evil done to him or her. But in as much as justice is good and in many cases approved even in scriptures, same scripture gave room for mercy and forgiveness.  Unfortunately, many christians take laws into their hands by "wanting their offenders eye for the eye taken from them". They want to equivalently retaliate for the pain, backstab, hate, gossip or any sort of evil done to them in other to satisfy that hurt. But this is contrary to what Jesus preached. Jesus taught two vital measures you should take for any wrong or mischief done against you.  Before i talk on these two keys, I'd love to reveal what the Holyspirit personally taught me from the book of Ephesians on this subject of reveng...
