“Everything you want is on the other side of fear” is a popular quote used to make us believe that fear separates us from what we want so if we could just jump to the other side, then we would see the world of possibilities.

It worth noting that fear is a spirit, some imaginations, that limit man from being who God created him to be. It is also a major weapon the enemy uses to keep man bound in his comfort zone. With this backdrop, it’s tempting to believe that Everything you want is on the other side of fear.

  • Is that always the case?

Well! as believers our Bible tells us that God hasn’t given us a spirit of fear. Therefore we fear no fear. As interesting as it could be, what then separate us from our dreams, aspirations, desires, among others?

God, through the Holy Spirit, reveals His purposes for our lives and further shows us how to achieve those purposes. Understand that His purpose for my life is different from yours, the same as yours is different from your family and friends.

  • Sidetrack, a major challenge.

However, we are easily swayed by other desires because we want to compete. It can be recalled from the disciples that each had different assignment and they were able to pursue that with love and passion and nothing could intimidate them.

  • Making it more personal

When you identify your purpose and allow your spirit to sync with the Holy Spirit, He guides you at every stage of your life. He will speak to you and all you have to do is to OBEY. Yeah! JUST OBEY.

  • Obedience is the KEY

Obedience unlocks the supernatural. Abraham got hold of the promise through Obedience. Here is what is tricky, God word(s) wouldn’t or may not ALWAYS make sense to you. But someway somehow, you’ve got to do it. The problem isn’t about fear BUT about your willingness to do what He tells to do.

  • Does fear keep us from obeying God’s spoken Word?

I don’t think so. I believe it’s TRUST issue. When you are absolute about the things of God and fully trust Him with your life, you do what He says without questioning the logic behind.  When the weather guys say there will be rain, we carry umbrella because we tend to believe them from previous predictions. Sometimes the sun might be on in the morning but we carry umbrella anyway. It’s same with God and His Word. When His word comes to you about your situation, JUST DO IT. You do it because you Trust Him, and you Trust Him because you Love Him. “Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear.” (1 John 4:18, NLT)

A simple clue;

What has been on your mind lately? What one thing do you feel so strong about? What does the Holy Spirit keep telling you to do?  Know that the miracle is in the doing so act on the word. Act on your Faith and always remember Obedience unlocks the supernatural.

The Lord says, “My thoughts are not like yours. Your ways are not like mine. Just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways, and my thoughts are higher than your thoughts. (Isaiah 55:8-9, ERV) emphasis added

When you are down to nothing, God is up to something. When you feel nothing is working and your world is falling apart, know that God is up to something. When everyone has given up on you, and you feel like you are alone, I can assure you that God is up to something. Throughout the Bible we read stories about how God showed up at the midnight hour to perform wonders.

When Joseph was down to nothing, God was up to something. God has a secret path in the sea but if He doesn’t allow you to get the shores of the sea and make attempt to move forward, you will never experience His awesome power of making the sea part. I don’t know what you are going through today. It may be as scary as the Children of God before the red sea but your Father in Heaven will deliver you before your enemies get closer. Remember His ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.

You may be down to nothing, but I can tell you God is up to something. Don’t see your situation as setback because God can do in a single day what you have tried to achieve in 10 years. Whatever you have been through has prepared you for something bigger, better and greater.

 

We walk by Faith, not by sight. Don’t settle for what your eyes could see. Live beyond your boundaries. You may be down (in your) now but God will do wonders in your life before (your) tomorrow. Only Believe.

  • Why worry when you can Worship?
  • Why panic when you can pray?
  • Is anything too hard for the Lord?

Be encouraged that God is up to something BIGGER, BETTER AND GREATER

3 Things that Activate the Supernatural Part 1(2min read)

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

three-thingsIf you were given a formula that can make things happen, how would your reaction be?

Everyone wants success formula, or an easy way to achieve his/her dreams and aspirations. However, it is believed by many that there aren’t no shortcut in life. Well, that could be true in the physical but we (Christians) play by different set of rules. We operate from different realm where ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. ALL THINGS means all things. That was why Elisha prophesied that tomorrow by this time, there would be enough food when Samaria was besieged. The guard thought it wouldn’t be possible (because tomorrow was too quick to see such incredible thing happen). There are some people who would always object to the prophetic because they operate according to the world system. I came to tell you that your case is different.

Food came to Samaria through Supernatural means. This is the Same power I want to talk to you about today. The world of the Supernatural is real. Many people have shared testimonies about how things happened beyond their wildest imagination. I am not so surprised because I am told in the Bible, our Constitution, that God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above what we ask or imagine.

Maybe there are some things you want to see them shift in your life this year. Maybe the enemy has besieged your finances, joy, health, etc and you are wondering what you can do to break free? Cheer up! because there is a way. First of all, you need to understand that some things are just spiritual and no human logic or reasoning can explain. This formula was used by Jesus when challenging circumstances stood before Him. The Church used it. The Apostles used it. And people of faith are using it today.  Below are the 3 things that activate the supernatural to cause things to shift.

  1.  Prayer

When you pray in the Name of Jesus, nothing shall be impossible. Instead of worrying about your situation and trying to figure out how it would work out in the natural, go on your knees and pray. Elijah prayed, and rain stopped. He prayed again and it rained after some three and half years. Jesus would often withdraw himself to quiet place to pray. We read about Peter and John going to pray in Acts 3 at hour of prayer. Same is read about Paul and Silas in Acts 16:16. And our common story where the Church prayed when Peter was arrested in Acts 12. You can’t live without staying connected to the One who sent you to this world.

Philippians_4-6

Let me bring this in the physical, United States has embassies around the globe. Each embassy has an ambassador and some staff sent from the US. Although they may be living in foreign countries, their identity as US citizens hold. There is constant communication and of course sensitive information is shared with foreign offices. When there is break in communication, terrible things could happen. It is a fact that sometimes the US may have privy to some intelligence before the foreign office because of the Power US has and the level of technology and commitment with allies.

This is same with us. Our home is Heaven and Our father is the Great I AM. He knows all things, and can do all things. He created the seen from the unseen, and even knew you before you were born. He sent you here on purpose thus He knows every detail about your life; your very hair is numbered. God knows the thoughts of your spouse, business partners, lecturers, staff, customers, etc. He can reveal them to you before you meet them if you ask Him. Elisha operated in that realm so he was able to warn the king about enemies strategies.

God also reveal mysteries. When King Nebuchadnezzar forgot about his dream, He revealed it to Daniel. That was super intelligent. So if there is anybody you could talk to about how things should be, or which step to take at any point in time, it has to be God. Prayer connects you to your source (Him). When you pray, your words have power to cause things to happen. Don’t stop Praying. It has to be your lifestyle where you wouldn’t need special occasion, gathering, or place to pray. You have access to God’s throne because of Jesus. Joseph Scriven, in what a friend we have in Jesus, said that what a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer. Don’t ignore this great privilege and suffer for nothing. Prayer works and satan will do whatever it takes to stop you from praying.

Never stop praying. (1 Thess 5:17, ERV) 

Part 2 follows soon.
