Walk With Me #Deararn.

CHOOSE LOVE, CHOOSE LIFE My dear friend, as you step out today, go about your daily duties. Life will present you ideologies and will demand that you choose between different Gods. Essentially demanding you to bow. The God, ideology you choose will reveal where your devotion lies. It will determine your choices, inform your actions, and your actions will either move you, your family, society, nati...

HOLD ON, HELP IS ON THE WAY Have you ever been stuck with no hope in sight? Ever wondered if God heard you cry? Have you wished that God would say something, good or bad and heard nothing? Hagar felt the helplessness of her son dying because there was no water in sight. The disciples saw the possibility of drowning at sea as the storm was raging. Mary and Martha watched helplessly as the cold hand...

BY THIS TIME TOMORROW The situation was dire, the nation was in trouble. Food was scarce and peace was rare. Women suffered as children became food. That was Israel’s situation at a point in time. A woman went to the king and he acknowledged his helplessness, humbled himself and God was moved. Go tell, ‘by this time tomorrow…’ was the message of deliverance. Guess who doubted, the one who should k...

“I Was Once Blind, Now, I Can See. The man was born blind, not because he or his ancestors sinned but just so God’s power could be revealed. There is a possibility that what you are going through is just a prop, a tool in the masters hand. God may be bragging on you. Remember you are His masterpiece, the master craftsman may just be putting you on display. It took this long because, the wonder was...

The woman at the Well Belonged to the forbidden race, with the oddest story. No wonder she came when she would be alone. Her pain ran deep. Thirsty and lonely, married five husbands, none filled the void she felt. Now on the sixth man, no need to marry, too much hassle. She looked for in man, what was only possible in God. The day came and THE man was waiting. Her pain spoke for her, like the porc...

PRAISE HIM IN THE DANCE They had seen enough to know that God was on their side. They got paid in arrears for all those years of slaving for the Egyptians. They heard stories of how they got to Egypt in the first place. Only the hand of God could have made it possible. And since the whole story of leaving Egypt for the Promised Land began, they had seen enough wonders to believe without any shadow...

Dance! Dance!! Dance!!! And David danced before the LORD with all his might, wearing a priestly garment. But as the Ark of the LORD entered the City of David, Michal, the daughter of Saul, looked down from her window. When she saw King David leaping and dancing before the LORD, she was filled with contempt for him. 2 Samuel 6:14, 16 NLT You had to notice him every time he was in church. He sat in...

Praise Him! Praise Him in the dance! Who invented dance? How did it come to be associated with gladness? When was the last time you danced? Has life robbed you of this beautiful gift? Can you move your legs? Can you wave your hands? Can you move your body? Do you hear a sound, can you hear the sound of heaven? Did you notice the leaves swaying to heaven’s music? My beloved, if your answer to any o...

WAIT, BELOVED, WAIT Have you ever been in a situation where you need to hear an instruction, a command, an encouragement etc., and you hear nothing? The deadline is at hand, and nothing has shifted. What do you do? Ever been in a storm that you were desperately in need of the Masters’ touch and He was sleeping? Ever been told to wait when all you have done for the past donkey years was wait? What...

THE LIFE OF AN UNDERDOG His conception was in sin. No wonder he was almost never in the same space with his brothers. How do you let the bastard hang around the legitimate children? Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me. (Psalms 51:5) The day the prophet came, his father forgot he had a son named David. Who sent him to shepherd the flock? Did the father also for...

KINGDOM MATTERS 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 selling doves and...

What to do with Wounded Soldier What do we do with our wounded soldiers? What should we do with the wounded? The Bible recommends that we restore them in gentleness. Be kind and take care; you can trip up. When one of us is injured or derailed, it should not be for us an occasion to boast or berate. Most times, the person in the wrong already knows they are wrong. They are already beating themselv...

CLEAN HOUSE Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. (James 5:16) Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord.” And you forgave the guilt of my sin. (Psalms 32:5) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just...

Will Your ‘But’ Hinder You? He had it all - power, position, influence. He was at the peak of his career, and everyone respected him. By him, victories were wrought for his country. The king owed him a lot. He had soldiers under him, but he was a leper. Pray, when did he become one? Before or after he rose in his career? How did he pull it off? Did he have to retire after becoming leprous? Aren't...

What Is Your Story? What is your story? How is your life? The woman, let us call her Jane, had such a journey. In today's parlance, we will say she had been unlucky with men. She married five of them, and none of them filled the void she felt on the inside. Each one looked like it, but as soon as she got in, she realised that she had made another mistake. She had to endure many snide remarks. No o...

A MAN LIKE YOU Elijah was a human being, even as we are. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops. (James 5:17-18) Now Elijah the Tishbite, from Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, whom I serve, there will be neither dew nor...

IT IS ALL ABOUT JESUS My dear friend, It is true you answered the altar call and gave your life to Christ. It is true you profess to be a follower of Jesus. My question to you is WHY? What is the real reason you enlisted in this army? Whatever the reason is, will determine what you do as you journey on. Apostle Paul wrote in Galatians 4:19-20 Wake up to God's deposit inside you, take up your cross...

True Intercession Nehemiah (Nehemiah 1:4-11), Solomon (1 Kings 8:28-50), Elijah (1 Kings 18:36-39), Daniel (Daniel 9:3-10) all prayed. Their nation needed God, and they did not exempt themselves even though they were ok. They were comfortable in their own right, and they could choose to turn a blind eye to the plight of the people. They decided to identify. Even with the people's rebellion and sin...

Heaven Kisses The Earth Heaven bowed down and visited a thirteen-year-old girl (Luke 1:26-38) and her old cousin (Luke 1:5-25). Consider this, the old and the young were visited the same period. The divine mission: Tell them they would have a baby. They were to stay close in touch with each other. In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galile...

What Label Are You Carrying? The list is long. Chronicles tell us who brought whom forth. They even tell whom their strange associations birthed. Then they get to him. He was born in sorrow; his mama must have had it so rough when she mentioned the name, people did not object. After all, they objected when Elizabeth said her son's name would be John. ‘He shall be called Jabez,’ she said. Pray wher...

LOVE LIKE JESUS Did you know that all the commandments we were given as believers in Jesus can be summed up in two? Love God and Love man. Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them wh...

Try it with the King James Version, and I bet you would need the Holy Spirit in all His fullness to go through.

No Shortcut With God He knew her well. The whole family were now his family. The day He saw them, the willingness was astounding. They had a family business, and they left it all, to follow him. The matriarch must be a thinker, a planner. She must have looked into the future done her calculations and decided to act. Her two sons had abandoned the family business to follow this man. Sorting out the...

My child, I see you wonder, I hear you heave. I am there when you call, and all your questions I have answers for. You wonder where my power is, how come I am not wielding it in your defense. You were certain I ignored your rights and looked the other way, when you fell into temptation. You ask if I noticed your troubles, hmm, my child, you speak in ignorance, I talked to your brother Job yesterda...
