Destined to Win

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

HOPEI will go before you and level the mountains [to make the crooked places straight] (Isaiah 45:2, AMPC)

God’s Word refreshes us and muscles us to go through life as conquerors. He (God) didn’t create you live an ordinary life, which is to sleep, wake up, eat, and go through normal routine and go back to sleep. Instead He created you to live an extraordinary life such that your life will impact many in your generation and future generations.

Warren Buffet once said that

Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree long time ago

In your quest to achieve greatness or living the extraordinary life or planting trees for future generations, you will encounter many storms or giants that will try to stop you. What is fascinating about this is that sometimes you don’t see these storms or giants but Satan paints them on your minds which breed fear to keep you from moving forward on the course set by God.

The enemy’s job is to do all he can to stop you from reaching your promised land but the assurance you have is that God has promised to go before you to make every crooked path straight. Therefore don’t allow fear to stop you from doing what God has already equipped you to do.

God is leading the way to ensure that you have safe passage to wherever He has destined you to be.

Commit everything you do to Him and He will direct your path. Trust that since He didn’t spare Jesus but delivered Him for us all, He will also freely give you all things you need to enjoy your journey.

It’s my prayer today that God strengthens you to take bold steps, without any intimidation, on the course he has set for you. May He give you Joy to pursue your dreams and may He direct your steps as you Obey His call. The fruits on your tree will feed many nations and provide shade for generations to come. Nothing the enemy tries to do, or would do can stop you from living the extraordinary life. Satan is an experienced failure because God always causes us to triumph in Christ (2 Corinthians 2:14).

You are destined to win. God’s divine purpose for your life will be accomplished in Jesus’ Name. Amen

Easter Message

God-has-good-plans-for-usHello Friends,

2016, as declared by The Holy Spirit, is a great year. It is a year that God, through His Spirit, is going to manifest Himself in greater ways in our lives. We will soar and nothing shall be able to stop us. We are liberated to live the higher life, the kind of life Jesus lived in his days on earth. He never lacked a thing and God worked miraculously through Him. A point to note is that good breaks, money, wealth, good health, good relationships, jobs, etc are means to an end. Your presence on earth is to do God’s business. The rest are benefits you derive as you pass through this life so they lose focus.

So far this year, we have heard and seen terror on TV, internet, radio, social media, etc. These are stories that breed fear in our societies. As a matter of fact, the goal terrorist groups want to achieve is to cause panic in our communities. This is in line with what Satan wants to achieve; to cause fear so that our focus will be shifted to the object of fear. Peter started sinking when his focus was shifted from Jesus to the storm. Some may ask why God didn’t prevent attacks on Ivory Coast, Mali, Burkina Faso, Turkey, Belgium, etc? Affected families and friends will have their reason(s) to doubt God’s promise of protection. However when we consider the bigger picture, we will thank God for the tens, hundreds, or thousands of people that were evacuated to safety. It could have been worse than what happened in affected countries.

Often we ask questions because we forget (because of pains and sorrows we go through) that a day with God in eternity is worth than thousand days of splendour on earth. When we understand that death (which is an enemy of God) is not the end but a transition, fear of death will be defeated and we will enjoy every day of our lives.

The world isn’t going to get any better. I see days ahead when major terrorist groups will unite to cause atrocities around the globe. The worst is coming that is why we, Christian, have to win as many souls as possible while its day. A night is coming when we will not have the means to spread the good news. Remember that false prophets are also leading many on the Broadway to destruction.

Jesus

The Christian life isn’t about living prosperous lives, declaring positive things, and receiving miracles. It is about living the life of Christ and letting others see Jesus in you. Jesus never cheated. He humbled himself, he lived righteous life, he prayed daily to the Father, he fasted, he fed the hungry, he didn’t discriminate, he forgave those who hurt him, he was tempted but never sinned, he was insulted, gossiped about, humiliated but he never retaliated. He knew he had earthly rights he could have stood for but his focus was on the Glory that awaited him after the task. He stood for the things of God and loved everyone.

Can the life of Jesus Christ be seen in you?

Do you just call yourself Christian or you live as Christ follower?

Life on earth is short so don’t waste your time chasing after worthless things. Seek first God’s Kingdom and all other things shall be added unto you.

God’s word can be trusted. Every word He has said concerning your life shall come to pass and nothing or no person shall be able to stop what God has started in your life. ISIS and its affiliates, Al Qaeda and its affiliates, careless drivers, threats from other countries, rejection, disappointment, failure, sicknesses and diseases, etc cannot stop you from being what God created you to be. We believe that Our God is Faithful and He will do whatever he has said in Jesus’ Name. Jesus Christ died to set you free and you are free indeed.

Happy Easter

In The Face of Terror, Be Still

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

Hello Everyone,

I believe you have seen and heard a lot about what happened last weekend in Paris and what happened yesterday at Bamako in Mali. I couldn’t believe my eyes because such scenes were seen in movies years ago but they happen to be the reality we face today and we must be prepared for them because missiles, guns, or physical weapons can’t destroy an ideology.

Since the incident happened, I have been following the development as it unfolds but my attention is on their (terrorists) motivation. What would motivate a person to kill innocent people or hold them hostages for hours? I went to YouTube and watched about 50 minutes documentary on Mumbai 26/11/2008. After that, I watched two documentaries of about 120 minutes on the attack at West Gate mall in Kenya. I watched that of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the guy who wanted to blow Delta Airline from Amsterdam to US on the Christmas day 2009 with an underwear bomb. I read many stories about suicide attacks in Africa, Middle East, Asia, etc. My observation was that some of these guys were innocent people who were brainwashed by rascals to cause such atrocities. However sizeable number of these terrorists are…let me just say deviants and hiding behind Islam.

As I watched the videos and read stories upon stories, I remembered the post I published that Nowhere is Safe but only in Jesus. This is the Christian’s hope in the 21st Century. The world is unsafe anymore. Friday’s night outing with friends and family turned out to be terror on streets. Safety at the public places isn’t 100% guaranteed. UK government announced how people should escape in the Paris style terror attack. The Telegraph had the heading ‘Run and hide, don’t play dead’: What to do in a Paris-style terror attack. Belgium has warned of serious and imminent threat and encouraged citizens to stay away from social places. US is not exempted as IS has warned of attacked, specifically mentioning Washington. These stories carry one thing: FEAR. A tool Satan uses to cause doubt among God’s children about His (God) promise of protection.

In such a time as this, I would encourage you to read Psalm 91. Don’t just read it but meditate on it. Believe in the Word. The truth is none of these things is a surprise to God. He made provisions for His children before they (atrocities) happened. Death isn’t the end for the child of God because we believe that Jesus is waiting for us at the other side of the road, welcoming the saints home. We that are alive have been commissioned to keep sending the message about God’s love through Jesus Christ to the ends of the world. Think about this for a moment If these terrorist knew/know Jesus and understand God’s love and command, such atrocities wouldn’t be happening.

I came to encourage you to Be Still and Know that He is God. He is watching over you, directing your steps, and His angels are protecting you from harm. You don’t have to be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day. God will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you. God is watching over you. Be still
