2020: The Start of A New Era

Posted on January 3, 2020 by Uplifting Christ

In 1999, I thought 2020 was light years away but here we are; from an era where people queued to make calls in phone boxes to era where we can do almost every thing with our smartphones.

The world has changed but God hasn’t. From eternity to eternity, He is the same. And He has purposefully steered your actions (steps) to this year so that you could always look back and say “Thank You Lord“.

In this year, I can assure you that God will be God. O yeah. The same sun will shine, rain will fall, the moon and stars will perform their duties, and you will have enough air to breath. However God expects to SEE a changed You. He wants to see how your life will (continue to) be transformed by His Word and the Holy Spirit.

This change will not happen until you become intentional about the process. That is you have to make little progress daily to be better for our Lord Jesus. Maybe its time to press the Reset button and begin to live again.

This year will be better than last year therefore lets get the basics right. Is there any addiction, fear, anxiety, bitterness, sin, stagnation, hatred, regret, or pride? Talk to God about it and pray the Holy Spirit helps you say No to thoughts that lead you to them.

Don’t let God drag you this year. Instead make the move by the strength of His Spirit in order to achieve greatness for His Kingdom. Note that the Teen years of the millennium are over and its time to step into Maturity. 2020 is a start of the New Era of Maturity and I welcome you.

GIVE THANKS, Uplifting Christ

Praise the Lord for January 2018 (2min read)

Posted on January 31, 2018January 31, 2018 by Uplifting Christ

Let everything alive give praises to the Lord! You praise him!

Hallelujah! (Psalm 150:6, TLB)

If someone did something spectacular for you, you would thank him/her and/or may offer something of value in return as appreciation. In my culture, we would often call the person at cockcrow to thank him/her.

If giving thanks and praise to our fellow humans make them happy and want to do more for us, then we can imagine how happy God is each time we enter His gate with thanksgiving and His court with praise.

January 2018 is ending and if you are alive today, then you have to thank God for carefully taking care of you from January 01 to January 31. 31 days; almost 5 weeks; 744 hours; 44640 minutes; 2678400 second;

It takes approximately 3 seconds to inhale, and 3 seconds to exhale. This means that throughout January you repeated this process for about 446400 times. The air you took in during the process was free of charge, at your Heavenly Father’s expense. God has been good to you regardless of how your situation has been this month and I want you develop or improve upon the attitude of praising God for the little things He does for you.

Sometimes these little things are the most important treasures you could ever have on earth: If you can Walk, Praise Him. If you can Sit, Praise Him. If you can use the Washroom, Praise Him. If you can get out of bed, Praise Him. If you can stretch, Praise Him. If you can See, Talk, Hear, etc, Praise Him.

Let us walk into February 2018 with an attitude of Praise. When you wake up in the new month, remember that God deserves your praise. It is also a sign that He will take care of you. If you are alive, c’mon! Praise the Lord for He is worthy. Hallelujah!

GOD CARES, Uplifting Christ

No one like Our God

Posted on December 27, 2016December 27, 2016 by Uplifting Christ

I have been thinking about all the good things God has done throughout the year; His protection, His provision, His guidance, His love, His grace, His temperament, etc.

Consider the air we breathe: if men were God, how much do you think you would have paid for your daily consumption? If you are a family of 3, or 4, or 5, or even more, how much would your cost be in a day?

Let’s listen to Our God by Chris Tomlin before we proceed:

Some people have turned off their heaters and/or air condition because they are unable to foot the bills. But we have the Sun to give us heat and light in the day for free.

Think about the last time you went to the hospital on emergency. How much was your bill? Well, you could say NHS covered it but how much tax did you have to pay to enjoy that “free” service. Man gives nothing for free But our God does. He is Jehovah Rapha

Friend regardless of how your situation has been this year, there is always a reason to say that There is no one like our God. Find a reason to say “Thank You Lord for this year. It couldn’t have been better”
