RECEIVE POWER

Scriptural Highlight: (Acts 1:7-8 NIV) - "He said to them: 'It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit is come on you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.'"
Many people in the world live in fear and unnecessary concerns, just as the disciples of Jesus were concerned about the restoration of Israel. In our days, you will hear people say, "Oh there is earthquake their!; these are the last days! Oh, so much killings here and their!; what an evil world!", and so on. Yes, as good as it is for us to be concerned over our world, we won't make much difference over the things we are concerned about if we are not empowered to. The concern of a Christian should be: to seek the Holy Spirit, to receive His power, His presence and His direction. Because, these are the things that can enable us to bring change to a dying world. In (Exodus 33:16b) Moses asked God "what else will distinguish (make a difference) me and your people from all other people on the face of the earth?" Beloved, the power of God through the Holy Spirit in us is the answer (difference maker) to every situation facing us. May His power rest in you In Jesus name. Flourish!
Action Point: Seek Jesus and the Presence of  the Holy Spirit.

Make Alliance With Righteous Causes

Scriptural Highlight: ( 2Kings 9:17 ) - "Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel, and he saw the company of Jehu as he came and said, 'I see a company.' And Joram said, 'Take a horseman and send to meet them and let them say, 'is it well'. So a man on horseback went to meet them and said, 'Thus says the king, 'is it peace?' And Jehu answered, 'what do you have to do with peace? Turn and ride behind me." Our scriptural highlight for today showcases a scene of battle between righteousness and evil. Joram king of Israel belonged to the family of Ahab and Jezebel, people that have troubled Israel with their sorcery, covetousness and blood spills. And a word of prophecy from Elijah had gone out against this evil house saying, "Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will utterly sweep thee away and will cut off from Ahab every man-child...(1Kings 21:21). So, in effect, God located Jehu and anointed him to fight...

MY PAST HUNTS ME! HOW DO I DEAL WITH IT NOW THAT AM IN CHRIST?

  DRAW A LINE BETWEEN YOUR PAST AND YOUR FUTURE ! Many people come to Christ daily but battle with the memories of their past life which probably was rough, painful or traumatic. I have seen many people who struggled to live their new found faith in Christ just because a terrible past life comes hunting: I have seen some who got delivered from occult involvements, terrible abuses, sexual lifestyles and other dehumanizing struggles battling to live the Christian life because of the height of what they had been through. For some of them even when God has forgiven their sins, they find it hard to forgive themselves. So the devil takes advantage of the struggle, self condemnation or guilt to hinder their growth in the things of the spirit. But the Bible teaches that, he that is in Christ is a new creation, old things are past away and behold all things are new. No matter what a person has done, as long as the person has not grieved the Holy Spirit, he can be saved. So the...
