Charles Peter Inspirations

There are instances in our lives where God's will may not be so explicit and we want to take a step. There is nothing wrong with asking God for as sign in such instances. The sign however should not be self serving but one that is meant to guide you in the best way you can bring God glory. It should also be certain even in such circumstances that whatever has happened was only possible through God...

Quite often evil times will knock on our doors and God is always on standby to help his children. We however have a responsibility and a role to play. Do not sit back in the face of danger. If you can run, run and if you can hide, hide. Moses parents are commended as examples of faith because they hid baby Moses in the face of danger. Do not be presumptuous in times of evil, do your part and God w...

God knows how vulnerable mankind is when it comes to temptations. That is why Jesus taught believers to pray God not to lead them into temptations. It's true we get tempted, but God is faithful and would not allow us to be tempted beyond what we can bear. The scenario however changes when we get ourselves into temptations. We test God when we deliberately and consciously get ourselves into avenues...

God has no problem revealing himself to us and using us for his glory. The tragedy is when we get used to God and start taking him for granted. Those are the times we cross his boundaries through sin and are insensitive to the leading of his Holy Spirit. When we expect God to use us in our rebellion and outside his permissive will, that is testing him. Let us walk humbly with God and honorary him...

One way that we fall into the temptation of testing God is when we fail to believe him in our difficult moments. The Israelites complained every time they encountered hardships on their journey to the promised land and this God called testing him. They had seen God's intervention in the past and they had no reason not to trust him when facing future challenges. Do you test God as well unable to be...

God created us original with a specific mission to accomplish within a given time. We test God when we take his gifting for granted and start comparing ourselves with others. God will always provide grace for the mission or burden He has given us in life but when we copy that which belongs to another, we invite disaster upon ourselves. 

We have a tendency to run to God when things get elephant. Only when we are making what we consider big decisions do we pray or ask others to pray with us. God is challenging us to involve him in all facets of our lives. He must be God of the small and the big and we put God to the test when we only run to him with what we consider big problems. We must ensure that God is the Lord of all whether s...

How often do we start projects that God is not involved. We start businesses or relationships that we have not prayed over and only call on Go to help us when problems knock on our doors. God has no problem guiding those who are walking in his will but when we get into things outside God's will for us, that is akin to testing God.

The scriptures admonish believers never to test God. Testing God means doing something outside of his expressed will and then expecting him to sign on our dotted line. God is supposed to be the Alpha and Omega of all that we do and if we cannot have him in the roots, we should never expect to see his signature in the fruits. God is not a means to an end but rather the end himself. Where are you te...

Satan's strategy is to make sure we doubt God word concerning us. If he can make us to doubt God's promises, then He knows we are defeated. No matter how long it takes, hold on to God's promise concerning you.

Everything we have is a gift from our Heavenly Father. We should never elevate the gift above God who has given us. When the Israelites doubted God's ability to protect their children in the promised land, they lost the opportunity even as God promised to bring their children to that land.

It is possible for us to get used to our problems and pains. The tragedy is where we get to think that God cannot reverse our hopeless circumstances. That is what happened to Zecharia the father of John the Baptist. He got used to the pain of childlessness that he could not imagine God could intervene. When the Angel told him that he would be a father, he doubted and as a result lost his voice. He...

Quite often in life, we come very close to our dreams to an extent of almost seeing them, but then out of nowhere they vanish away. Situations that appear like bad dreams when our situations are about to change but something happens and the ray of hope is extinguished. That is what happens when we doubt God's promises or power over our lives. A servant of the King of Israel doubted prophet Elisha...

There are situations that we go through in life such that we would be tempted to say 'never', if God was to tell us that the same can change. God is known to call the things that are not as though they are. When it became impossible for Ezekiel to conceive in his mind how dry bones could come back to life, He surrendered to God's Sovereignty by saying, 'Only you knows Sovereign God"!. Never say ne...

The human nature craves for comfort and security. Life is always enjoyable inside our boats where we feel secure. Wait until the storms of life beats on our boat in form of sicknesses and disease, unemployment, death of a loved one etc. We get afraid and fail to see Jesus inviting us to walk with him on the very waters we are afraid of. Our God is not more of a God in our comfort than He is in the...

The scriptures makes it clear that bad company corrupts good morals. For us to avoid doubting and cultivate faith in our walk with God, we may keep a company of believers. Jesus cast doubters out of the house of Jairus and only went there in the company of those who believed in what He believed. What company do you keep?

God always finishes what He starts. Although it may delay or face storms in between, He will surely finish it. God has not promised a smooth calm journey. What He has has promised is that even with the storms, He will make sure we dock safely home!

Many are the times we try to hide our emotions of pain or doubt when speaking to God in prayer. We often forget that it is God who gave us those emotions and is able to handle even the worst of our emotions. When the disciples faced danger at sea and their master was sound asleep, they told him as they felt it; don't you care that we are perishing! Guess what. He stopped the storm. 

We should never confuse God's processes with inaction. God always finishes what He starts no matter how long it takes. Seeds take time to grow and when God gives you a word, do not doubt it. At the fullness of his time, God will surely do it

In our battle with doubt, when it reaches a point where believing appears impossible, the best way to handle it is surrendering it to Jesus. When a man who went to Jesus was unable to believe for the healing of his son, He cried to the Lord to help him in his unbelief. Do you know what happened? Jesus helped him and healed the boy. Surrender your doubting to God

Is it possible to have complete faith in God without doubting? Doubting is part and parcel of our fallen nature. God has however provided a mechanism of handling our doubt which involves total surrender to him as well as confessing our doubts to him. Don't mind doubting, just hand it over to God 

A child of God does not enjoy the journey of faith because there are no problems but because of the assurance that even in the midst of those problems, God is always together with us. Whatever the pace in your walk with God as He guides you step by step, let his comforting presence be your greatest source of assurance.

God's faithfulness is a central theme that runs across the pages of the scriptures. His ability to provide for the needs of his children can never be questioned. It may never happen immediately but God does it through daily leads and guides which He does step my step. We must nevertheless walk on obedience towards the mountain or the vision He has called us into. He will surely provide, but in his...

No matter what we desire in this life, nothing should equate to having a strong desire to honour God whatever it takes. As God guides us into our dreams step by step, the final destination should never mean more than the Lord who is walking with us step by step. We must count everything else as nothing until we finalise the mission that God has given us

One way that God speaks to us is through the environment where He has placed us. God did not only purposely create us but He places us at the very place where He knows our potential can be fully maximised at the different seasons of life. What is God saying to you considering the environment that you are in today?
