Nuggets 4.1: Guilt free

Guilt is a weapon the enemy uses to dampen our hearts and bring us into bondage of hurts, regrets and pain. Guilt can be as bad and frustrating to the point of depression and can as well lead to suicidal tendencies. It brings torment, fear and unnecessary harassment to our spirit. It is a gate that seeks to control and manage our access to spiritual altars.

What is that issue in your life that rears an ugly head to condemn you when you least expect it? It allows you smile on the surface but hurt deep within. The memories can hurt, the past may not be pleasant. How you sincerely wish it never happened, but it did. How you desperately wish to erase the memories daily but it still haunts you. In the night or day it lurks around just to judge and condemn you. It's a joy killer and a soul destroyer. The chief tormentor of evil. 

But Know this!  

"Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification." Romans 4:25 KJV

"For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy  toward them that fear him. [12] As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us". Psalm 103:11-12 KJV

With these assurances, you can pick yourself up and reject the spirit of guilt and condemnation, apply the blood of Jesus and be free. I can confidently declare to you that from heavens data base, you never sinned. You are redeemed. You are Justified. You are free.

Glory be to God!

Shalom.

Nuggets 4.0: Striving

Destiny fulfillment is all about a process whereby one by the flight of vision and unction of the Holy spirit navigates from an undesirable past to the expected end of God in line with God's counsel and program for that life. Therefore it will be wrong to address one by the reason of their past whether by actions or experiences. They are no longer to be located at their broken or fallen state. They are now to be defined by the path they have chosen to walk on. They have latched on to a new and bold faith, and an inspiration for the glory ahead. In weariness, a fresh outburst of desire to arrive awakens. Never give up. 

Keep moving, trusting, looking up for thy light is yonder and it won't be long. Lo! I hear the voice of perfection beckoning. My path keeps shining brighter and brighter unto the perfect day. 

Therefore,  I Rise!

Nuggets 102: True greatness

Most people think that by joining Facebook they can improve their personality and relevance. Smiling pictures are fantastic but does little in expressing your true state of happiness. You may appear to people as making progress, hiding under a facade of gimmicks to appear as though not failing, while indeed you are far from your mark. How sad! One thing we should realise is this, Greatness is the picture of every true success. It is not defined by accessories but a definition of who you really are. This in turn reproduces relevance. It then means that we must have passed by a lot of great people in less than 48hrs and may not have realised it cos our measure of its definition is misconstrued. You are a great man. Greatness lies in each and every one of us.

Jesus's 3years ministry was predicated by 30years of correct living. He was a great man and yet very few noticed. In the end, the father proclaimed his approval by an audible voice to many. You must not wait untill an Angel Introduces you to your world. Try doing the following.....

Look inwards and realign your walk in line with purpose. 

Build character and consistency. 

Follow through on short term goals and the small details 

Without fear or favour recieve assessment and make relevant corrections in humility and yieldedness.

 The fruition of your consistency will be the Sun of Righteousness basking over you in intensity and revealing you to your generation. 

You are a greatness in the making!

Nuggets 3.1: Guardian

Success wipes away past failures. People will only celebrate you for your success and not remember your past. Only you will know how rough the road was and the challenges enroute victory. But most especially it is more reassuring and comforting to note that God was there all the way and gave you a safe landing. A 24/7 guard, day and night operator, no shift, no leaves, no transfers, no quitting. Always watching over his word to preform it. Faithful God, I salute you.

Nuggets 3.0: The past is over

You cannot live in the past. Whatever highs or lows, excitements or regrets you might have, power or lack of it controlled, respect or humiliation, achievements or positions occupied, however how high or low it made you feel and what you felt you gained or lost from it, it's in the past. Its gone forever. It has served it's purpose and may likely never repeat again. 

You are in a new phase of life and there are greater adventures to relish and Heights to conquer. There's no law against starting again and more importantly there's no law against you winning again. You will win again! Take control and start reigning as Kings on the earth. This is your calling, this is your destiny. Occupy till I come!

Nuggets 2.1: Ascendancy

When you step into that place where nothing else matters, no fame, no ego, no anxiety, no stress, nothing even your family, far less your job, people, opinions, self,.... All can be taking from you at that instant and you won't even blink..... Nothing Matters!!!

............. In that moment the only thing that matters most to you..... His presence! And you are there alone waiting on him, searching and seeking his face. All your mind can muster is I know you are here Lord, Am i pleasing to you? I want more of you dear Lord. And he fills you, then you sense the buoyancy of your spirit, and you yearn more..... More of you LORD!

In that instant, the clock stands still, the whole world reduces smaller than a speck of sand in eternity,.......... And your spirit floats away in endless joy and ecstasy.

#justlikethehartpants..... So my soul!

Our call is one of Ascendancy. And Glory is the end product! It's time to take a flight in God. 

Nuggets 2.0: The word crucible

Error does not wear the coat of a dragon, it actually wears the collar of a priest. A sermon can sound very reasonable, an action be very logical and appealing to the senses. Or can be very pious in it's delivery. The truth remains that if it cannot measure up to the crucible of the word of God, it automatically falls short of God's standard and must not be used as a score factor to a man's living or a determinant in judging the ways of the Spirit life. Regardless of sentiments, God has only one instrument of acceptance in the Spirit life is the Word of God.

Nuggets 1.1: Brotherliness

We are so connected together today on different social platforms, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, messenger and many numerous others (which of course is the modern-day century norm) and YET, if we can be sincere, we are so disconnected as a people today. The virtual world is a reality based on illusion and must not replace our core values as human beings. 

"And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: (Genesis 3:8 KJV)

We are products of TOUCH right from creation. From the begining we can see divinity, omnipotence, sovereignty, omniscience, Almighty God actually walking in the garden for the sake of relationship with humanity. Not just because he had to, but was setting a precedent that relationship must be founded and rooted on touch/contact. If you must call someone to know how they are, please do; or if you must visit, don't hesitate to do so. You might not know the lives you might change by that singular act. Yes we can say times have changed. its true. But let's not allow the prevalent virtual society of today deny us of our true identity. 

Show some true love this season. May we be BROTHERS, SISTERS & FAMILY INDEED.

Simply...GRACE!

Shalom.

Nuggets 1.0: purpose

Your personality is not enhanced by the many friends you have. Rather, it's by the quality of the life you associate with and the value it generates to and through you. 

You must learn to trim your baggage this year so you can effectively discharge your assignment and add commensurate value to persons and systems. 

Try and identify the purpose of people around you. Not every invitation must be allowed in that circle. It is wisdom to learn when to love and when to hate, when to embrace and when to refrain from embracing, when to stand and when to walk away.

A smoking flax (Part 1)

A Smoking Flax (part1)

"A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth. [4] He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law". (Isaiah 42:3-4 KJV)

The kingdom of heaven is very much interested in starting and maintaining Divine fires that will engulf the territory and bring Glory to God. We are in the era of Kingdom domination. An Era that will bring the rulers of this world under the reign and authority of the one and only true King. Jesus!

"The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever" (Revelation 11:15)

If the King must reign in our time, drastic measures must be activated to make this happen. One way heaven achieves a fire revolution in a dispensation is by an initiation of smoking flaxes in the hearts of men. One that with consistent nuturing and tending by a person's willful participation, can grow and blow beyond proportion. In this part of our study, we shall limit the teaching to starting and finding our flax.

Who hath done this?

"And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between two tails. [5] And when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, with the vineyards and olives. [6] Then the Philistines said, Who hath done this?"
(Judges 15:4-6)

In the above verses, we can witness the devastation that a wildfire can cause in a landscape. It was so horrible an effect that an entire ecological and agricultural resources was wiped out. An entire produce of a farming season of shocks, corn, vineyards and olives wasted in one go. The potency of Wildfires cannot be overemphasized.

Wildfires are uncontrolled fires that spread quickly and can destroy homes and the environment nearby. It is one of the major causes of national disasters which leads to heavy loss of lives, property and resources. It can single handedly change the entire landscape, well-being and state of living of a people. 

How do these fires start—and how do they spread and become dangerous so quickly?

It all starts with a spark....a smoking flax!

FINDING YOUR FLAX!

Apart from man-made causes of Sparks stemming from ignorance and carelessness on it's part, Lots of other things can cause a spark. These are, burning Embers, lightening and heat from the sun.

Burning Embers...

A burning ember that blows away from a campfire. Scattered tiny flickers that escape from the cracklings of a campfire is enough to locate the dry expanse of wild grasses or bulrush. It can be a tiny flicker but it's a wildfire encapsulated. Be careful to notice it when it breaks away and glades around. 

It can occur during your worship moment. A simple worded line in those verses can catch a flax and burn within. Sing it again and again, build it, fan up those embers untill it burns. It can occur during the study of the word. It can be sparked by a deep revelation of something you didn't see in those words before. Just like the psalmist...once has it been spoken but twice have I heard (ps62:11). Once the repitition is engaged in your spiritman know that a flax is about to blaze. May be your flax bellows in quiet lonely enclosures at home or out. Treasure such moments. Don't be in a haste to depart. Allow that flax to pick more ventilation from the high heavens. Let the spirit romance be completed. in ascendancy of such moments is the flax boosted and ripples into fireworks. Pls note that by whatever means or place this occurs in your life and you frequently senses it, always fan it and treasure it beyond everything else. Your destiny might depend on it and also your generation.

Lightning…

A lightening doesn't occur always. It only appears in seasons, mostly during heavy rains. Lightenings also appear as flashes across the sky and may be seen in a fraction of seconds. This can be symbolic of Divine occurrences orchestrated by heaven to get your attention. Whenever you sense a switch in the spirit or the atmosphere that you weren't expecting and didn't plan, these are part of heaven lightenings trying to start a spark. Be sensitive and take advantage of it cause it only on for a few seconds. But if you can give it attention, a potential wildfire is in the making. 

Heat from the sun…

The heat of the sun symbolised the pressure orchestrated by persecution or temptations we go through as believers. God doesn't take remove these pressures from us but rather, he allows us to go through the crisis, and inasmuch as we allow our resolved will to participate in it without wavering or compromising, he activates a switch that appears as flaxes in our soul. If we can turn on these switches in the midst of our trials and circumstances, it can generate a capacity that can cause us to latch on to fires so potent it can burn. As a result, we come out of these situations recharged and ignited afresh for exploits. I advice that in your crises don't give in. Don't breakdown,give it time. Allow the gold in you to be forged and unleashed. When we go through the fires, it shall not burn us. Recieve the strenght to excel and come more than conquerors.

I see a generation that God will raise from the ashes of nothingness into future generals. Men that will devastate the entire resources of the Philistines and cause a cry to emanate from it's Lords, princes and commanders saying "WHO HAS DONE THIS"? 

A generation that will take responsibility of causing mayhem to the enemies of the Kingdom. That will not be afraid to pay with blood nor run from the scourge of death. That harbours guts as high as Everest. We need the kingdom of darkness to recognise and notice that we came. A shape-shifter generation that can enter into fortified camps and cause a rumble in it's jungles. That hates evil with passion and will not stand for compromise or accommodate it's cohorts. That generation is here. The spirit beckons us to deliver our heart as offerings to the father and watch the Spirit ignite an intense fire that can turn the world upside down. 

"And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also;" (Acts 17:6)

On this premise and only on it alone can the kingdom come. 

The question now is ...what did you do with your fire??? May the flax in our hearts that has been quenched hitherto recieve a fresh touch now. A charging that only the father of Spirits can give. 

The isles await his Law! Come and let's be doing.  

Shalom!

He Still Speaks!

He still speaks!

As the new year rolls in, one thing we can't take for granted is the place of Divine direction. It is evident in our time in this time of the year to see many running around looking for who will Prophesy or see visions for them. Some are busy either checking up with big preachers in town or their pastor or "papa/mama" (as is the slogan these days) for special Revelations or prophecy for the year. In all truthfulness, this is good in itself because it's a sign that we submit and honour the men that God has placed over our lives and are humble enough to seek guidance.

"Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper". 
(2 Chron 20:20)

Inasmuch as this is good and to be desired, it must not be used as a substitute or a replacement to hearing personally from him.

"God, who at a sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, [2] Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;"
(Hebrews 1:1-2)

Despite the numerious leaders, prophets and fathers in the land, God is very much committed to speaking to us personally. He said in the last days he shall speak to us "through his son". This is a statement of sonship. A father/son intimate communication channel generated by relationship. There is a communication reserved for those who will appropriate this position of sonship in their lives. A communication mode for those who have prioritised this relationship. One of the proofs that you walk with God in the times we live in is that he (by his spirit) communicates with you frequently. Brethren, I want to announce to you that the manual you need to run with this year is easily accessible from the father. Sons who can explore the resources available consequent on the basis of their connection to the father can recieve clearly the mandate for their lives for the times now and ahead. Are you a son or a vagabond?

He still speaks today!

"And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left" (Isaiah 30:21)

"Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of f himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. [14] He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of g mine, and shall shew h it unto you". (John 16:13-14)

One of the blessings of relationship is the privilege of communication. As a matter of fact, It cannot be called "fellowship" if two parties are not involved. The secret place is a room of whispers. A room that affords us the communication platform between us and heaven. And if there's one thing the father desires above all else to do, it is to set forth his word by the Holyspirit in our hearts. When he speaks the following things happen....

1. Darkness is dispelled. 

His word is light. No matter how much confusion has set in on our hearts and minds, the entrance if his word brings light. His Word is the only antidote for darkness. 

"Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out." (Job 41:19). 

His word has the capacity to generate lamps and release Sparks. With his word, one cannot walk in darkness. 

"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path". (Psalm 119:105). 

This verse reveals the two-fold working dimension of his word. 
A. It is a lamp to our feet and
B. A light to our paths.

Our feet is the first ministry of the lamp. Pls Note that the lamp is not the light, rather it is the carrier of the light. This refers to the this ministry of the Holyspirit in our lives. Meaning that his first assignment in our lives is (to as a matter of priority) reveal to our standing with God which is symbolised by our "feet". It is when he is a lamp to our feet that his light can then shine on our paths. If your standing with God as a believer is not affirmed you may likely not receive light. Because where we stand is more important to God than where we are going. If our standing with God is wrong, it automatically means that our paths will not be fruitful. It means that our end will be unfavourable to him. The lamp is there to first correct our feet and when this is done, then light shines on our paths. 

This verse is a prayer guide for those that desire to walk in the light....
"For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness". (Psalm 18:28)

When he speaks;

2. Fear disappears. 

In these uncertain times, whereby it is more reasonable to live in fear than in faith. Where it seems that the society and the environment offers no respite but rather fosters an inhumane face. This is the more reason why we need to hide in his revealed word. 

"Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. [4] One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple". (Psalm 27:3-4)

From the above, there are only 2 spiritual pillars to our confidence as mentioned in vs 4, they are, beholding the beauty of the Lord and also enquiring in his temple. When you enquire, he answers. And when he does, it will definitely dispel fear. What is it that you are afraid of this year? As you hear him, Fear shall no longer have Dominion over you anymore. 

And lastly, when He speaks;

3. Strenght is released.

"And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee. [2] And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me". (Ezekiel 2:1-2)

Physical Strenght is needed when a man engages in activities physically related. But for spiritual purposes, only spiritual Strenght can accomplish spiritual results. Pls note! "One word from God can take you far". You don't need too many things brethren. What we need is just one word from his mouth. Strength is one major resource we receive from the revelation of his word. When last did you hear him. Your spiritual status today is critically related to the resources recieved as a result of his current voice in your spirit man. Are you exhausted and garnished or are you bouyant and recharged, check the last time you clearly heard from him. Jesus desired accuracy in fulfilling his earthly calling that he related his secret to the voice of his father (John5:30)

So what is expected of Us?

Seek him like you have never done before.
Hunger for his word passionately
Pursue the word of his mouth as the only remedy to success in life. 

It is accessible!

Only sons access the whispers of the father. Enter inro the presence of your father and seek to hear him. Don't relent or take it with levity. Even as you read this now, he is desirous to speak to you. No relationship, No communication. There's a lot he wants to tell you about your destiny and the path of it's fulfilment this year. There's a lot he wants to let you know concerning the world around you and wisdom to navigate. There's a lot he wants to confide in you relating to what he wants to do next viz-a-viz with you as a partner in the kingdom business. Whispers to strengthen your faith and give you hope in every hopeless situation. And most especially whispers that affirm your sonship. 

Don't remain outside. You are not a servant. Stop running from pillar to post seeking for guidance. The son is very much available to us today. We have access by his Spirit in us to download deliverables in the spirit realm  that will set us on the path to an accurate delivery of our ministry here on Earth and all related assignments. I see you succeed and be fulfilled in this new year in Jesus glorious name, Amen. 

He is still speaking today. Do you hear him? 

Speak Lord, and your servant will obey.

The Posture of the Spirit

Operating and manifesting the Supernatural

The agenda of heaven needs the strength and the pace that can only be afforded by that higher than the natural. Jesus much more than an advice, commanded his disciples to WAIT to be endued with power from on high. It was called the Acts of the Apostles because they encountered POWER. Even moreso, this present church cannot see the Acts unless it recieves this investment. 

Its a New year and very prevalent in this time is a panic to start something new. Forstered by the desire to make up for lost grounds in 2019, or a zeal to be a step ahead than our contemporaries, or due to diverse unfounded and unclarified visions and unrealistic targets. Permit me to say that the reasons above are all good, but can I announce to you brethren, that doing is good, but waiting on the master is wiser. This is a posture we can never outgrow as christains. In this posture, selfish ambitions dies, carnal wisdom of man is dwarfed and accurate christain living begins  As a matter of fact, the coming of the master is for those who are found waiting for his return. 

The waiting posture is necessary for the following reasons;

So that the natural will submit to the spiritual.

So that the voices of the soul realm that encumbers our heart will fade away for the inner voice of the Spirit to manifest

So that we can download the manual tied to our purpose for the new dispensation of our destiny

So that our walk with the Spirit can be sharpened and our alignment in the place of obedience sorted

So that we can recieve the strenght and power of the Spirit and latch on to the help that only heaven can afford.

I want to announce to you that the waiting posture is not a too common posture because it's not comfortable. It eliminates anything and everything that is called you. No wonder there are too many fakes and destiny shipwrecks. In the days we live in, Copy is prevalent because the path to the original is rigorous. Men who deny this posture will only give expression that fosters self and forwards it's desires and objectives and that not of heaven and cannot be approved by God. 

Paths to the Supernatural! 

The extent of the Supernatural we desire to see is determined by the extent to which we are willing to seek & go far with God. 

"Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: [31] But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. (Isaiah 40:30-31)

They that will mount up with wings must wait, they that desire to be eagles in this generation must wait, they that desire to run without weariness and walk without fainting must as a matter of necessity...Wait!

The Golden question is, How far do you intend to go with God this year??? You need to answer this question personally in the closet and then with the right alignment to it's answer, let the Holyspirit himself Unveil you to your generation.

Wise words!

When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek. (Psalm 27:8)

Only the heart can answer such a demand. Not head knowledge. His help is very much available as in the days of old and there's a new deposit waiting for you at his feet. Help is available. But your heart must answer this crucial and Clarion call. 

The only answer that suffices heaven and the key is this.

....Will you wait on him today?
