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.

No Man, No Rain

Scriptural Highlight : ( Genesis 2:5 )- "There was no plants or grain sprouting up across the earth at first, for the Lord God hadn't sent any rain; nor was there anyone to farm the soil." In our scriptural highlight for today, the Bible is describing the generations of heaven and the earth - that is, the creation process. At that time there was no plants or grain sprouting up across the earth because the Lord God hadn't sent any rain. There was no man to farm the soil yet. Note well that God is orderly in His dealings. He made the world in such a way that one thing depended on another. He followed a certain order. Plants couldn't just grow  unless their was rain. So at the time under question why did God restrain the rain? Why was there no rain? Because if it rains, plants will definitely grow.Let's take note that plants are good things for the earth; plants are parts of the things needed to support life on the earth. Plants represents the bles...

Heavy Weight In The Making

When am building strength, I don't see the strength. But when am done building strength I start seeing strength. Today's heavy weights were yesterday's lighter weights. They just kept building their strength. Every professional was an amateur. Ever seen people braking strong large rocks. They keep hitting over and over: one, ten, twenty, on an on, until a final strike shatters the rock to pieces. It was not just that one final blow that did the magic; every single blow was part of the shattering work. But the blows just had to keep hitting the rock for the final effect to come by. What a life lesson. Work is simply forfeiting today's ease for bigger, better and more rewarding comfort tomorrow. But don't work hard, work smart. Working Hard

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...
