YOUR LIMITATIONS ARE UNREAL 2

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

Romans 12: 2 says “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.” A person is not different from his dominant thoughts. That is why it is very important to renew the mind daily with God’s Word. Human beings are filled with infinite potentials. God created us in His image. The scripture talks about how man was able to use his gifts to build a tower that made God came down to see what he was doing. I believe every man can do what he sets his mind to do. However, Satan doesn’t want that to happen. Therefore, he paints pictures on our minds, and makes them look so real that when we look around us, we tend to believe those lies.

Friends, my message today is Your limitations are unreal. Everything you see as an obstacle is not real so move on, and don’t quit.

When Moses and God’s children came to the red sea, God told them to go forward. The sea was a limitation. Again, when Joshua got to Jordan, God told him to move forward. Jordan River was a limitation. The Wall of Jericho was another limitation. Let us talk about David and Goliath, Elijah and Four hundred prophets of Baal, Elijah and Elisha before Jordan River. Daniel knew he could be thrown into the Lion’s den. The den was a limitation. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and the fiery furnace; it was a limitation. These people saw what looked real before them but when they stood in faith, and believed in their God, they found out later that those limitations were unreal. They moved forward, and nothing could stop them. What do you think is your limitation? God has placed in you all you would need to be what He created you to be. Everything you would need is within reach.

Today let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. If you think you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you, you can. On the other hand, If you think you can’t because satan says so, you can’t.

Don’t give up because of the pressure. Each one of us has got his/her life to live. By the way don’t forget God created us differently but in His image. Both Moses and Joshua came before water but God did something different in each case. He is God. Don’t make mistake by comparing yourself with people. Don’t say because they use path A, you must also use path A. When you do that you would be faced with so many limitations, and you may start believing satan’s lies. I have faced so many limitations in life but when I got to them, I realised they were not real.

Be encouraged that you can achieve what you have set your mind to achieve because Christ is your strength.

God bless you

MARCHING FORWARD IN MARCH

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

I am excited to be alive today—a new day in a new month. I thank God for my life, and I thank Him for yours. March would be a wonderful month full of God’s blessings and grace. I believe this month would be one to remember for good. I set a theme for myself and for my family. I don’t want to be selfish; thus, I would share it with you. The theme is MARCHING FORWARD IN MARCH.

To march forward in March is to say no to the past, for instance, stuff that happened in January, February, or the past years. It means looking unto Jesus as your strength and trampling over all the abilities of the enemy. It also means all things are possible. No turning back.

We all have desires (vision, aspiration, etc.) that we want to achieve in life. The steps we take each day would determine how close we are to that dream. One thing we should consider is that no matter the size of our dreams, there will certainly be obstacles (something that would want to stop us). A thought that would tell us “WE CAN’T,” a family member or friend that would say “That is impossible” or possible “in your dreams.” I have heard these so many times, but I never paid attention to them. In this month, turn away from every voice of negativity because ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. When people say it is impossible, remember what Jesus said: ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. God would use what is meant to be a stumbling block to be a stepping stone to push you forward.

Every limitation you see is not real, so make up your mind today to face them. You can do all things through Christ, who gives you strength. Moses, Joshua, Elijah, Rahab, Esther, Ruth, Hannah, Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, Joseph, Peter, Paul, John Wesley, John Bunyan, etc. all faced their limitations. We would do likewise with Jesus on the inside.

Here are some things you need to do in March:

  • Believe that every limitation is not real
  • Believe that God is with you
  • Quit complaining and worrying about your situation
  • Forget about the former things; successes, challenges, etc
  • Pray without ceasing
  • Keep God first
  • Love your neighbours
  • Give generously
  • Hope for the best
  • Imagine good things because you live on your imagination

On Christ, the solid rock, we stand, and we will march forward in March. Keep marching forward.

It is well

BETTER PROTECTION COVER

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

I am selling a product for an insurance company. I love this job because there are so many companies out there that are cheating people all in the name of insurance. None of those companies can be compared to the one I would be talking about today. I believe we all know what insurance is all about so I wouldn’t go into that.

In our daily lives, we seek protection; we want our lives to be protected, houses, cars, children, businesses, and other properties. Man becomes mentally stable when he knows all his properties have been insured. However, there is one thing they or we can’t insure with our money; Your Life, My life. This is because the things man can insure were created by man but Life has one Owner who is God. This is where my company, a company you can insure your life with, comes in. It is rather unfortunate that man sometimes tend to seek protection from elsewhere instead of looking up to his Maker. As Proverbs puts it, there is a way which may look right in the sight of man but the end is death. We look around for protection not realising our days on earth are numbered.

As children of the Most High, let us not be wise in our own eyes, thinking we are better when our physical properties are covered. Why would Jesus tell us not to lay for ourselves treasures on earth but in Heaven? He knew that when our properties are under the care of the Most High, nothing bad would happen to them. Paul also added “for the things seen are temporal…”

There is only One insurer on earth that is most reliable. He acts quickly, and His agents work 24 hours in a day, seven days in a week, etc protecting those who are under HIS cover. “He will command His angels concerning you, to guard you in all your ways.” Psalm 91:11. Good news is He does not need your money because He has all things. When you purchase His cover, He builds a fence around you, your family, and everything you have. In the book of Job, we saw how God built a hedge around Job. Elisha and his servant saw the great army that surrounded them when God opened their eyes in 2 Kings 6:16-18.

Hear me today; The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him, And rescues them. O taste and see that the LORD is good;  How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him! Psalm 34:7,8. In Jeremiah He said they will fight against you but you will not be overcome. These and some more are the covers my Insurer provides spiritually.

Physically, we all know how Daniel was protected in the loin’s den. When others who were not under the Insurer’s cover were thrown into the same den, the lions torn them apart before they could get to the ground. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were protected in the burning furnace, etc

Friends, there is a better protection somewhere and I would encourage you to sacrifice everything you have to get that cover. The requirement is so simple. He ONLY requires your stand with him, your trust in Him, and your life in Him. The Number one Insurer is God. Yahweh is His Name. His insurance cover is second to none. However, most people have gone astray. They are moving to places, and doing so many bad things because someone assured them some sort of protection. I can boldly say there is no better Protection with sound mind like the one God gives.

Examine yourself now. Do you feel you need to get closer to God in order to benefit from His insurance cover? Let me tell you this secret; God does not look at the depth of your sins or mistakes before He protects you, He does it freely with opened arms once you submit yourself to Him. He hates sins but love sinners. He wants all to come to Him. When the prodigal son came back, his father accepted him. God is waiting for your return. It does not matter what you have done; stealing, fornication, abortion, lesbianism, Homosexuals, hurting people, unhealthy relationships, etc. He wants you back.

If you do not know Jesus, you qualify to be under His divine protection too. World leaders do not have answers anymore. Therefore, you need a stronger protection package which only comes from above. It only takes a minute to come back to God with all your heart, soul, and spirit. Or accept Jesus as your saviour.

Just say this;

“Father I am sorry for all the wrongs I have done. Accept me today and make me anew in Jesus Name. Cover me with the Blood that I might be protected all the days of my life. Give me wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and strength that I might not sin again. I choose to insure my life with You today in Jesus Name. Amen”

If you said that, I can assure you your life is covered for all eternities. The wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and strength you asked for will help you the next time Satan tries to tempt you.

God has never disappointed me since I insured my life under His cover. I know He won’t disappoint you too in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
