Sow and Reap Abundantly

Do you desire to have abundant blessings in your life? God is still in the business of multiplying His people who obey His instructions. To multiply your blessings is not difficult at all for God if you will heed to His word. This post emphasizes sowing and reaping as one major way by which God releases abundance upon His children.

Now He who provides seed for the sower and bread for food will provide and multiply your seed for sowing [that is, your resources] and increase the harvest of your righteousness [which shows itself in active goodness, kindness, and love]. You will be enriched in every way so that you may be generous, and this [generosity, administered] through us is producing thanksgiving to God [from those who benefit] - 2 Corinthians 9:10-11 (AMP).

Many people want to receive and receive, but are not ready to give according to how they want to receive. According to God's principle of abundance, you have to give abundantly to receive abundantly. If you sow sparingly, you will reap sparingly and if you sow bountifully, you will reap bountifully (2 Corinthians 9:6). Also if you scatter your seeds, you will enjoy increase but if you withhold more than you should, it will turn to poverty (Proverbs 11:24). Sow and reap abundantly.

God gives abundance to those who are always ready to give to others. If you are ready to be a channel of blessing at all times, then you are qualified for God's abundant blessing. In 2 Corinthians 9:10-11, God made it clear that He multiplies your seed for sowing. He gives seed to the sower and bread for food, but multiplies only the seed for sowing and not the bread for food. He enriches you in every way so that you will be generous in giving to others. Furthermore, not only will the Lord multiply your seeds, He also will increase the fruit of your righteousness. Therefore, Sowing guarantees both physical and spiritual blessings in a sower's life.

If y.ou say that you don't have to give, you are only limiting yourself. Sow and reap abundantly. We all have something we can give, especially for the advancement of God's kingdom: your money, time and energy. Read more...

Easter Celebration – I Am Risen!

What are you celebrating this season? Is it salvation, victory and freedom or is it only salvation? Will Jesus Christ acknowledge your celebration as being complete? This post aims at encouraging you to utilize the entire package our Saviour Christ delivered to us the day He rose again.

He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay – Matthew 28:6 (NKJV).

 The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord – Luke 4:18-19 (NKJV).

Many people are still in their oppression because they have refused or don’t know how to take their mat and go home (Luke 5:24). They have accepted salvation from Christ but they are yet to take the goods Jesus paid for on the cross and delivered at His resurrection.

I imagine the Lord Jesus shouting, “I am risen! Why are you still there? The stone is rolled away (Mark 16:4), just follow Me and walk out of that grave! I am risen, don’t you understand what it means?” It means salvation, victory and freedom. Freedom from shame, reproach, oppression, sickness and disease, fear, downtrodden state, helplessness.

I Will Restore To You The Years!

Are there days, months and years you wish you can retrieve back? The good news is that it is possible to restore those years. It may not be as you think but if you believe the lost time can be restored. This post tells you that God can restore to you the lost years.

So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the crawling locust, the consuming locust, and the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you – Joel 2:25 (NKJV).

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths – Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV)

The enemy may have fought you sometime back with challenges that left you with lost days, months or years, don’t be dismayed because you can get them back. Those who laughed at you will come and rejoice with you.

God says what He means and means what He says. He has no idle word. Therefore when He says He will restore the years eaten up believe Him for it shall be so. He only needs you to believe Him and His words and it shall be so. Just don’t lean on your own understanding or reasoning on how it will happen and God will direct your path to restoration.

Let’s consider some scriptural examples

Abraham and Sarah

The scriptures tell the story of Abraham and Sarah’s wait for the fruit of the womb. When God finally gave them Isaac, He gave them long life to see the child grow to manhood. Abraham lived up to 175 years (Genesis 25:7-8) and saw his grand children from Isaac, and Sarah lived up to 127 years, being the only woman whose age at death was recorded in the bible (Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers). I believe it was recorded, among other reasons, for us to note the restoration God gave Sarah. The Lord gave her time to enjoy motherhood like other women, even at old age. Furthermore, God fulfilled great promises through the child that made the years of waiting nothing to think about. Read more...

The Temptation in the Garden of Eden

What is there to learn from the temptation that occurred in the Garden of Eden? Many people can only remember the account of the temptation in Genesis 3 for the fall of man and the punishments given to the Adam, Eve and the serpent. But there are other things to learn from there. This post shares some other things to pick from the temptation of Adam and Eve.

Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate – Genesis 3:4-7 (NKJV).

The scriptures are for reproof, correction, instructions and doctrine so that you may be complete and fully prepared for good works (2 Timothy 3:16-17), and this includes the scriptures on the temptation of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. This describes the fall of man from grace to grass, but there are also some important things to learn from the story.

Lessons from the temptation in the Garden of Eden

1. Unrevealed things are for your good.

Secret things are for God but the revealed ones are for us (Deuteronomy 29:29). It is not everything that you should know. There are certain things that should remain unknown. When God does not reveal certain things to you even after your persistent request for a revelation of the thing, know that it is for your good. God loves you and would always shield you from future troubles in any way He deems fit, which may include not giving you all the details of something. This is due to the fact that He is knows the end from the beginning and He knows you very well as your creator. Rely on God’s love and trust that He will never mismanage your life or destiny.

 God told Adam not to eat from a particular tree and did not give them the reason why they shouldn’t eat from it. But satan came and gave them the reason and they did exactly what God wanted to avoid for them – to desire to know the good and the evil. They were being shielded from evil, but disobedience exposed them to it, and that became the genesis of evil on earth. Read more...

How To Grow In The Love Of God

Do you desire to grow in the love of God? This is the will of God - that you be like Him in words, thought, and deeds. Developing the love of the Lord in you empowers you to obey and live for Him at all times. This post tells you how to grow in God’s love.

That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God – Ephesians 3:17-19 (NKJV).

Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us – Romans 5:5 (NKJV).

Growing in the love of God is mandatory if you want to please God. This also ensures that you enjoy all that He has for them that love Him (Romans 8:28), including being with Him where He is. Also, when you develop the love of Christ in you, serving God will no more be a struggle for you. Rather, you will do it with delight. Furthermore, sin will not overcome you anymore, and walking in love will be a normal way of life for you. So, how do you build up your love level?

How to grow in God’s love

1. Salvation

This is the starting point for the love of God in a believer’s life. This is because at new birth, God showers His love into your heart by His Spirit (Romans 5:5). And a seed of the love of Christ is planted in you, which enables you to live for Christ. Therefore, when you receive Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour, love dwells in you. However, like any other seed, if the seed of God’s love doesn’t grow, you will not reap any benefit.

With Jesus You Are a Multitude

Do you have an idea or a good course and you wish you have a lot of supporters to drive it? Or are you behind time and you wish that help will come so that you can finish on time? You don’t need to look far, help is near and beside you – Jesus. When you have Christ you have all the people you need. This post emphasizes that Jesus is the answer to the multitude you are asking for.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me– Philippians 4:13 (NKJV).

But Jesus looked at them and said, With men this is impossible, but all things are possible with God- Matthew 19:26 (AMP).

There is this saying among my people- “Igwe bu ike”. It means “multitude is strength”. This is true because you accomplish a lot with multitude compared to when you are alone or with a few people. However, there are certain times that having multitude won’t help, rather it spoils things or circumstances. Besides, what happens to the person that can’t muster a crowd to help out? There is hope in Christ!

When you have Jesus you have a multitude and more. When God is with you, you will accomplish every task or course on time and excellently. This is because you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you, and also what is impossible with men is very possible with God. Nothing is impossible with God (Luke 1:37).

How can God do it?

The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof (1 Corinthians 10:26). Everything (Matthew 8:27) heeds to the commands of God including people. As a raven fed Elijah for days (1 Kings 17:6), God can send anything or people to help you, or do anything even if it means delaying someone somewhere till you get to your destination. There are so many testimonies like that. God can do it for you too. Read more...
