Don't Sell Your Worth


Scriptural Highlight: (Jeremiah 2:5) - "This is what the Lord says: "What fault did your fathers find in me, that they strayed  so far from me? They  followed worthless idols and became worthless themselves."

In our scriptural highlight for today God is asking a question to Israel through prophet Jeremiah: "what fault did your fathers find in me.." God was faithful to Israel; God did mind blowing miracles in the wilderness just to bring them to their promise land. But after the deliverance from bondage everyone forgot God and went after their own worthless idols.


Sometimes, we humans think that if we refuse to believe or to be faithful to God, that we are doing God dis-service but the reverse is actually case - it is us that fall victim when we stray from God's presence. In 2Timothy2:13, Bible says, "If we are faithless, he will remain faithful for He cannot disown Himself."

When we stray from God, we smell; when we stray from Him, we get stranded. A lot of  people go for deliverance in churches without a change of way or lifestyle, and after the deliverance, they forget that God's anointing touched them; they go back to their idol again without  receiving the life of Christ, and, in the end, their later self become worse than it was before the deliverance.

 From our scriptural highlight again, it is clear that to follow worthless idols is to become worthless yourself. Worthlessness means living without value, living merciless and graceless life; a point where God turns His back on a nation. But mind you, it was not God who made them worthless, their backsliding made them worthless. If you obey the devil, you take his nature. If you serve idol, you become like the idol you serve. But if you repent and serve God, you become like God, you take His nature, His glory is seen all over you. Psalm 106:20 captures it well: "They exchanged their Glory for an image of an ox that eats grass."

If you are in Christ never envy an unbeliever, never admire their ways; what you carry is glorious and priceless. The life we have in Christ manufactures every thing needed in our destiny. When Jesus needed tax money, the mouth of a fish was handy. When five thousand men were hungry after hearing Jesus for a long time, five loaves and just two fish was enough. When economic situation was so hard in Israel that people were boiling their own children and eating because of hunger, just a word from Elisha the prophet of God was enough. As long as there is God's presence in your life, nothing is impossible. Don't sell God's presence for worthlessness. Esau made common His birthright and he lost it. Don't "commonize" your "Sonship" in God. You will definitely flourish.

Pray: Lord, I refuse to sell my worth. I renew my faith in Christ Jesus.

What We Represent

Ride The Tide Tide is the periodic variation in the surface level of the oceans and of bays, gulfs, inlets, and estuaries, caused by gravitational attraction of the moon and sun (The American Heritage Dictionary).  Just as the physical tide exists with its implications in our environment, a spiritual tide also exists in the life of a human being which tend to rise occasionally. And when it does rise, many are not well equipped to handle issues.  In this platform, we expose you to the fact that the tide can be turned to your favour, for with God nothing is impossible. How one is going to react in the midst of a tide, whether you will ride over it (turning it to your favour) or not is dependent on the quality of your spirit. We believe it is only the word of God that gives quality to a man's spirit. We use the phrase "Ride The Tide" because it captures the inspiration well in our heart. contact: chuks4flourish@gmail.com

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...
