Walk With Me #Deararn.

The sacredness of the communion table and its tremendous power were ingrained into me early in life. I must have been about ten or eleven years old. The elements were prepared by people who had seeded their lives to God and His service. If the sacredness of the communion could be described from a little girl's perspective, it would read; thus, The Reverend Fathers and Sisters always wore white. Th...

Dinner was set, and all were made ready. Time to eat, and the Master requested a towel and a washbasin. Naturally, hearts were curious. What again, they must have wondered. Their Master's leadership; is the style characterised by twists and turns, surprises, and awe-inspiring moves. They became much better people just hanging around him. Their ignorant life made full of clout and wisdom, and power...

Have you ever picked up a book, skimmed through the pages and felt your life was being surveilled? Did the words therein make you feel like your personal space was being invaded? Did any word tug at you so much that you felt like engaging the author and giving them a piece of your mind? I am sure you attempted to skip some pages and discovered you were engrossed. Some of the thoughts provided made...

I have lived many Easter seasons. My early years in the choir and lay readers society, and my adult years as an intercessor and counsellor. The years as a member of the choir and lay readers were all about singing Easter songs and reading about the passion of Christ. Wait! As I write this, the word passion jumps at me. The thought of someone feeling so passionately about me to lay down his life so...

OF FIGS AND THE POWER OF WORDS The crusade ground was packed full, hardly standing room. The crowd was excited, the message of the cross was celebrated, and many marched forward to receive Christ. It was a very good meeting, the type that rewards all the preparation that went into putting it together. The Man of God and his crew were happy but exhausted. They retired early as the Master had warned...

He was on His way to the grand finale. This was the mother of all assignments. Jesus was making His way to Jerusalem. He had already spoken about His death and all that would lead to it. But now he needed some vessels. He is always in the know; He knows where the vessels for the very next assignment are located. He was specific. You would find them, by the way, he said. In waiting to hear how the...

Is it looking like this season of your life is about to end? are you sensing a transition? Walk the days before Jesus heads to Jerusalem. What He said to His followers.

In middle eastern culture, food and feasting is a crucial fixture. Families and friends would come together to feast. It was the symbol of relaxation, fellowship, hospitality and generosity. The story in Luke chapter 7 describes one such occasion. Jesus was present as a guest. Being a desert region, people would trek long distances through hot and dusty roads to reach their destination. The result...

Follow the sons of thunder and their mother as they lay the request for positions before the Master Mom Zebedee, on several occasions, was a silent listener to her sons every time they recanted their daily experiences with their new master, the new prophet in town. As the matriarch, she wondered what their future held, considering they both abandoned the family business to find a much better path...

"We live life forward and understand it backwards". I heard those words, and a lightning bolt ran through my core. A truth you've always known but never heard put so succinctly. "What is, has been and will be" The preacher spent most of his ministry delivering messages of doom. All he had to tell the people was the judgement they had coming if they refused to stop their evil ways. Even when he att...

HOUSE OF PRAYER FOR ALL NATIONS He set up shop for the day. Business was booming and he had no reason to complain. Thanks to the new prophet in town. Such a popular guy and very well-liked, at least by the regular people. What did the merchant care, as long as he could sell his wares? He did not have to go into the temple. Just stayed outside and sold his goods. He had grown over the years, from s...

To be like Jesus, To be like Jesus All I ask, to be like Jesus... A song we used to sing long ago. It came to mind as I waited to hear what God would have me share in today's challenge. What was Jesus like? What kind of a life did He live? How does that affect us? What are we to do with His life? The Man Jesus is our role model. There are many things to note and learn in the pattern of His life he...

Today's walk returns us to one of the most terrible vices that sometimes find their way into our lives as Christians. The Bible refers to it as the root of bitterness. It calls it poison; it spreads, festers and defiles. It is dangerous; it kills the one who lets it in. Don't let it have room in your life. So many have fallen victim to its deadly grip. Run from it with all your might. It requires...

1.  Take head to yourself. ‘The first shall be the last still exists.” Self-righteousness has never landed anyone a spot in the kingdom of God 2.  Obedience to the Father’s command is proof of love 3.  Repentance is still a pivot to our walk with God. 4.  It does not matter how you start. However, how you end is crucial. 5.  You do not qualify for the kingdom because of yo...

In this episode, we remind ourselves of the reason for the journey, the road to the Cross. 

The occurrence was at a prayer meeting in a church. Tola needed heaven’s intervention, and that, like yesterday. Her world was tumbling, and she had no idea how to stop it. Face cupped in two hands, tears having a free course and snort adding colour to the occasion; she did not notice that other parishioners were in sight. She focused on getting heaven to accent and reprieve from all her woes. Aft...

What is challenging the authority of the Lord's presence in your life? Who is asking by what authority you do the things you do? Who is wondering if you were the only anointed one? Who is peeping and muttering against the anointing of God in your life? Who is waiting to see the hand of God in your life? They may be priests like you and have rights before God like you do, but this season, they have...

I have been waiting for this moment. I created you for my pleasure. In my hands, you are clay. I crafted you fearfully and wonderfully, and out of you, I designed glory to be seen. Be still my child and know that I am God. Stand back and see my salvation. I always have to be exulted amongst the heathen. Come on, child, let us go to work!

There were seventy, then there were twelve and three and one. How close would you come? Jesus had them at different levels. When he needed the crowd effect, then the seventy came in handy. Then there was the everyday mission and the twelve was just enough. When the need for heart matters arose, He had His three buddies. With them, He was comfortable with vulnerability. With them, He could bare all...

There is a kind of fast that God wants. It is not self-focused; it is To get your prayers answered, you be an answer to someone else's plight. Do not exploit your workers. Cancel debts; yours was cancelled, remember? Feed the hungry. Defend the defenceless. Clothe the naked. Be available to your families. Do this and see a breakthrough on all sides. Amazing! Fasting enables you to clean up yoursel...

You are here, on earth, alive, but why? Let me rephrase that, who are you and what are you about? Jesus, son of God, the master of the universe, the living word, our way truth and life. The visionary, left his glory, came to earth to reconcile men to God. First, He consecrated Himself for 40 days and nights. After that, was led to the wilderness by God’s Spirit. (Not all you go through is negative...

Jesus promises a light yoke and an easy burden. In other words, your life in God’s hands can only be full of joy and peace and righteousness. Even when you encounter obstacles, they would be easy to surmount once you are under God.

In life, there are secrets to unravel. There are many things that are hidden from the natural eyes. God tell us these things when we draw close to Him and actually search for them. The bible says, His secrets are with the righteous. We also know that God will not do anything without revealing it His prophets. So, the question is: can God trust you with His secrets seeing that He has them? God was...

So, you felt the pull. You knew you had to pray, maybe even fast. After all, the word of God said some types of issues would not budge unless you prayed and fasted. Consecrate yourself, the preacher said, “God is looking for clean vessels He can use to do exploits on the earth.” Did I hear you shout let’s go! I thought so… Hi there this is Walk with me in the footsteps of Jesus with Deararn…yours...

Forgiveness is a willful decision to release the feeling of anger, bitterness, resentment, overtly or covertly wishing you could pay back in the same coin. It is being deliberate about excusing the frailties or shortcomings of others. It is understanding that all things being equal, no one in their right spirit and mind would set out to hurt another. Remember we all have the breath of God inside u...
