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.

The Issue With Wealth II

There is a point one can get to in life where money is no longer a challenge.

Because some of the things the person used to pray about, money can now provide them. There is another category of people who have all the money they will ever need in life; and there are others that have never known what is called lack all their life. These kind of people may never understand if you tell them how impoverished people are, out their. They may see it in the television or in the papers but they may not fully come to terms with it. Some in this group can put people down to make sure they maintain position. Then, finally we have the poor folks and those trying to make ends meet. I have one problem with this last two category, especially the poor, they always think that the rich is the cause of their poverty. You may never blame someone who was born with a silver

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 que
