Is your faith growing?

The above question is a question that all believers in Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior must ask themselves often in order to calibrate their walk with God. Rest assured, there is nothing like stagnant faith or stagnancy in Christianity. You are either growing in faith or regressing. Also, no stagnant Christian, you are either waxing strong in the Lord or backsliding. It is against nature and creation order for a living being to be stagnant either going stronger or atrophy, no in-betweens. It should be noted that everyone that ever-made marks and impact in the bible had growing faith in the Lord. No one started with great faith but started with little faith and kept growing until they had great faith that distinguished them with distinctions in life.

It should be noted too, that growing faith will prompt you into action, else your faith is not growing. Noah was told of God that a floor of water through rain was eminent. In the first place until then there had never been anything called rain. However, Noah believed God and went into action building an ark as the Lord has instructed him. Growing faith will prompt action in obedience to the instruction given. In due time Noah started gathering species of animals and birds into the Ark in obedience to instruction. If he had not obeyed in building that ark, he wouldn’t have had the place to put the animals. Is there anything God has told you or He is telling you to do. Make the first move without delay, then the follow up instruction will be given. Here is one instruction to the whole human race, which has never happened before. However, it is as sure as Noah’s floor, that it will happen. Rapture of the saints and judgement day are going to happen. Though, when we do not know but it will happen. Are you prepared as Noah prepared for rain, meaning, are you born again yet? In preparation for the end of time, that is due to come inevitably.

Abraham was told to leave his homeland for a place God would show him. He left with luggage, his father and nephew. In so doing he stopped in Haran, after the death of his father he continued to the promised land as originally intended. The place was not conducive to him, then left for Egypt and later came back to the promised land. In the process of his growth in faith, he tried to help God and had Ismael. Later at the fulness of time, he believed God and had the promised son Isaac through Sarah. His faith grew to an extent that when Isaac the child of promise was about 13 years old God tested Abraham to offer Isaac as burnt offering. Abrahm was resolved to do it until at the nick of time God stopped him. Abrahm’s faith grew down the years; he did not start with great faith but ended up with great faith.

What shall we say of the other heroes and heroines in the bible that grew in faith to do incredible exploits to the glory of God and proof of their faith in Jehovah. The same process still applies today and will always apply to the end of time. To make impact in life, your faith must keep growing. As it is written: “Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.” Job 8:7. Growth in faith is an imperative for a successful, victorious and enduring walk with God, there is no other option. Commit yourself to grow in faith. It is written: “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Romans 10:17. The only way to grow faith is by intimating yourself with the word of God and adhere to what it says, acting on the word. We are further exhorted thus: “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15. Extensive knowledge of the word of God is required to grow in faith.

It is written: “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.’ Psalm 119:105. It is further written: “For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” Isaiah 55:10-11. God is absolutely committed to His words; therefore, you can rest assured that your faith in His word will be answered in the affirmative, trust Him. You should have faith in God because God is utterly faithful. Please, grow your faith, you have the necessary tool. Have a wonderful day and remain blessed in Christ Jesus as you commit to growing in faith. Remember that God is faithful, therefore, you can have faith. Grace and wisdom be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God, in the mighty name of Jesus. Halleluiah!

The main focus of attack on man is.

The main focus of attack on man by the devil is to undermine man’s confidence and trust in God and His words (Genesis 3:1-15). All other attacks are mere derivatives of doubting the veracity, potency and the infallibility of the word of God. Whoever want to please God must start with resolute resolve to trust God and His holy word. Satan’s major assault on man is to get man to doubt the word of God and His faithfulness. Whenever this is done, the only way is down not up. Therefore, resolve resolutely in your heart and mind starting now to put God’s word and His faithfulness as paramount in your life above all other considerations. In so doing, you will be seeking the kingdom of God and His righteousness then all other needs, wants and desires will be availed to you, without fail.

The dividing line that set apart successful and victorious characters in the bible is their resolve to trust God and His words as compared to not doing so. Those that reposed their trust in God and His words have their names written in golden indelible ink for eternity, while those that did not trust the word of God and His faithfulness circumvented their own destiny and purpose in life. Adam and Eve’s failure to trust God and His word led to the fall in the Garden of Eden. Abraham’s trust in God and obeyed His words made him to become the father of many nations and friend of God. Of whom the whole world is blessed through Jesus Christ. Joseph believed and trusted in God’s word and did exploit in life. The same requirement is expected and even demanded of everyone regardless of which age or time, in other to succeed and impact one’s generation and generations after.

King Saul's failure to resolve to choose God’s word as paramount in life and not having confidence in God as he should, led to his loss of purpose and God ordained destiny for him and his linage. Be careful, your action could have generational impact. King David trusted in God and His words in absolute terms and became the apple of God’s eye and a man after God’s own heart. Why? David knew God is faithful and utterly trustworthy. Beloved, have you resolved in your heart and mind to trust God in absolute terms. This is the only way of success and renown on earth and eternal life to gain. Obviously, God is not looking for perfect men, but holy and righteous men, that have resolved to trust God and His word. For, only in trusting God and His words is righteousness and holiness possible in life.

What shall we say of Samuel, Gideon, Elijah, Elisha, the Apostles of the Lord Jesus, etc. Whenever a person resolves to trust God and His words, success, victory, joy and peace are inevitable. For in so doing you have committed the hand of heaven to intervene effectively in all spheres of your life. The day a man believes in the word of God, he will surrender his life to God by faith in Jesus Christ. Refusal to believe God is the reason for any other worldview or belief system aside from faith in Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior.

Be vigilant, any thought process or message that cast doubts or tempts you to second guess the veracity of the word of God is definitely Satan inspired and suggested. Resist such thoughts, message or supposition with all your strength because it is an obvious attack of the enemy of your soul, however subtle it came, resist. Resolve to trust in the Lord and His word and do exploits in life. This is God’s perfect will for you. And the attending blessings and benefits are inestimable. Have a wonderful day and remain blessed as you repose absolute trust in God and His word. Grace and wisdom be multiplied to you in Christ Jesus.

Renew your mind daily.

God does not waste resources, nothing in God’s creation is purposeless. Attaining the purpose is the only true prove and measure of success. Erroneously, many believers in Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior try to be focused on spiritual growth and development, neglecting mental and intellectual growth and development. Even in some climes, it is considered as maturity and great achievement, but in truth, it is fallacious and ungodly. For the living God that created the human mind had specific and important purpose for it. Agreed, it is our spirit that gets saved and sanctified to qualify for heaven. This truth does not in any way erase nor contradict the importance and purpose of the mind. That is why it is written: “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Romans 12:2.

Without engaging the appropriate use and purpose of the mind through renewing it according to the word and dictates of God.
Though, born again and heaven bound a person cannot be effectively transformed. Being born again in our spirit, does not automatically translate into physical transformation thereby engaging the use and purpose of the mind, no, the mind must be engaged with the word of God. The mind is made for the purpose of aligning the spirit with the body to make the man whole in God. In so doing, then one can prove what is good, acceptable and perfect will of God. Without appropriate use of the mind, it is impossible to ascertain the perfect will of God.

There is no action taken on earth or in life without it first being conceived and decided in the mind. Meaning physical manifestations are results of ex*****on of what the mind had determined ahead of time. Therefore, the importance of the mind cannot be overstated. It is written: “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: ...” Proverbs 23:7a. Simply put, your mind dictates your actions. Realizing the above truth, it is of utmost importance that the mind be filled with the word of God in other to make right, positive and godly decisions in life. Knowledge of the word of God will build a confident confidence in God’s faithfulness to His words as He has promised. In so doing it will be easy for one to see the hands of God in everything in life and know that everything will work out fine. Then the scripture passage such as "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28. Will be believable, true, reasonable, sensible and acceptable.

With the declaration of the word of God in many passages of the scriptures like this and many more like it: “The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:22-23. Stating in no uncertain terms that God’s love and mercies are infinite and that they are new every morning. That’s a great encouragement for every daily living for all that renew their mind with such scripture passage. What shall we say of such scripture passages as Psalm 91:16, Luke 10:19, 1 John4:4, 3 John 1:2, etc. Words of life with assurances of blessings and benefits that has automatically accrued to every believer in Christ Jesus. Unless a believer renews his or her mind, though all these promised blessings and benefits are available to him or her. He might live a life not partaking of them because of ignorance. Your mind needs to be saturated with the word of God to be rightly renewed.

God’s love for you is guaranteed, He is mindful of all that concerns you. And He is utterly committed to your good in life. Even if the process seems unpleasant and unclear, a man with renewed mind will know that God has his best interest at heart. You need to know and embrace the fact that God is never late, He will be on time and that He is more committed to blessing you beyond and above of your expectations of Him. God cannot and will never forsake you, trust Him, He is faithful. Therefore, renew your mind daily with His words in confidence that you are on His mind for good. Have a wonderful day and remain blessed in Christ Jesus.

God’s approval or people’s applause.

There are two options available to all men. And your choice will determine to a great extent your success and impact in life. The two options require choosing between pleasing God and have His approval or choose to please men and have their applause, we all have to make this choice, no one is exempted. The impact and relevance of it all depends squarely on choice made between the two. God’s approval many at times rarely align with people’s desire and expectations. Therefore, many people choose the easy path of trying to please men, instead of pleasing God. God’s approval does not always guarantee popularity, applause, or even prosperity in the interim. However, in the long run, choosing to please God always promote, elevate, and distinguish one with distinctions in life.

God’s approval requires discipline, forthright character, honesty and integrity, which is never cheap or easy to demonstrate. While pleasing people and getting their applause may be easy in the short run, at the end, it decimates and thwart purpose and destiny.
King Saul was chosen and anointed by God to rule Israel. Later in his life, he was more concerned about people’s opinion than to obey God’s instruction (1 Samuel 13:11 & 1 Sameul 15:13-23). In so doing, he lost the throne and later lost his life violently. While, his successor, king David in spite of his checkered life with some not so savoring peculiarities. He reposed his confidence in God and sort God’s approval all his life, and his name is written in indelible golden letter to generations after him. Self-denial, self-discipline, resolute resolve and focus makes a good leader which is what God desire for and from everyone that will obey His instructions. The road may be fronted with ups and downs; however, the end is guaranteed success, victory, joy and peace.

Seeking God’s approval will compel one to endure hardship, pains, injustices and even abuse, like the life of Joseph in Egypt until God’s purpose for His life was fulfilled gloriously. The best example was given us by Jesus Christ when in agony chose the Father’s will instead of the easy way of His own (Luke 22:42). The result of which the price of Salvation of the whole world was obtained and secured forever. The dividends of committing to God’s approval over people’s applause in virtually inestimable. For it guarantees blessings on earth and life eternal hereafter. God’s approval requires humility; it takes humility of a person to accept and embrace the fact that he or she is incapable of saving his or her soul and that a Savior is needed to ultimately please God. Meaning to be born again and become a child of God, heaven bound and Christ ambassador on earth requires surrendering to God, in acceptance of one’s inability to please God by works or deeds. Pride and arrogance of people have led to formation of many religions and belief systems that gives false hope and plan of obtaining salvation by one’s doing or merit, which is utterly impossible.

Genuine, sincere and objective self-examination will show in no uncertain terms that it is impossible to please God without help. And God has availed the help in Christ Jesus that whosoever will accept Jesus as personal Lord and Savior shall be saved (John 3:16). Qualification and acceptance, totally on the merit of Jesus Christ nothing else. And if pride, tradition, ancestral beliefs or whatsoever other consideration or excuse should make anyone reject the offer of Salvation through Christ Jesus, there is no remedy for such soul. Hell, or heaven bound is by personal choice, therefore choose wisely (Romans 10:9-10). The best motivator in decision making in life is to consider whether the decision pleases God or pleases man, in so doing you shall have good success in life and heaven to gain. Have a wonderful day and remain blessed in Christ Jesus. Grace and wisdom be multiplied to you in Jesus` name.

The greatest struggles in life.

I will like to submit to you that the greatest struggles in life are internal, not external. Most battles are first fought in the mind before the physical manifestation of the decisions made in the closet of the mind. Whoever can win the battles in his own mind is bound to succeed and triumph in life. Victories are first won in the mind before the physical manifestation. One of the most biting, wrenching, uncomfortable and sometimes overwhelming struggles in every life is done during the time of waiting. Waiting test, us all and determine enduring success or failure in life.

Many at times waiting period always look like time of God’s abandonment of the saint. Like when you have prayed all you know how to pray concerning something and the answer refuse to come to pass. In such times discouragement and doubt might set in. If care is not taken, impatience that destroys destiny and purpose might set in too. It is very uncomfortable to wait, but in the crucible of waiting is enduring and great faith forged. Joseph grew up knowing that he was born to be a great man. But the events that followed his dreams of greatness included pit, slavery, false accusation, prison and years of uncertainty, but he waited without taking short cut and he arrived at his destiny in the palace.

The bible makes it clear thus; “To everything there is a season,
A time for every purpose under heaven:” Ecclesiastes 3:1. It is also written: “But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,” Galatians 4:4. Meaning time matter, therefore, patience in life is not only virtue but weapon of spiritual warfare, that guarantees resounding success. Waiting time is always great time for preparation. God hasn’t forgot you but He is preparing you for what He has purposed for your life, however you must master the art of waiting trusting Him. Mistakes are inevitable when one fails to wait, Abraham, pushed by Sarah refused to wait and brought about Ismael. King Saul failed to wait for Samuel to come offer sacrifice and did it, thereby disqualified himself from the throne of Israel. Learn to wait on God, you are on His mind, He can never and will never fail you trust Him, He is faithful.

Waiting period is for preparation not complacency or idleness. Joseph through out his journey to the throne was excelling in every assignment given to him. David after being anointed as king in the place of Saul, waited, preparing his own corps of military and administrative personnel, necessary to rule successful. Waiting time is for consistent, diligent and dedicated meaningful exercises in preparation for what you are expecting from God. Rest assured, you are not forgotten, God will bring to pass what you have asked of Him in prayers and supplications. However, you need preparation to be able to handle that blessing in the answered prayer coming your way. The more impactful your God ordained destiny the longer and sorer the preparation. Moses did not have the required temperament to lead Isreal when he first tried to. He went to the school of humility for 40 years before he was fit for the job of a deliverer. He was later adjudged as the meekest man on earth of his time. Though our Lord Jesus Christ was declared at birth, He was not revealed to Israel until age 30 years old. Timing matters.

I don’t know and can’t tell what you have asked God for in prayers. Rest assured, it is on the way, wait for it, right timing shall make it glorious and the result shall be magnificent, therefore wait, trusting God. Remember that He promised the following: “And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.” John 14:13-14. “Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.’ Hebrews 13:5. “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” Isiah 55:11 and knowing that “God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?” Numbers 23:19. He has promised you in His words that your prayers will receive answers in the affirmative. Therefore, trust Him and wait. Grace and wisdom be multiplied to you in Christ Jesus.

Will you be made whole?

It is easy and even common to many believers in Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior, both ministers and laity to assume other people’s need when praying for or ministering to them. I will like to submit to you that such assumption is not totally scriptural and at times it is the cause of unanswered prayers and petitions before God. It should be noted that the Lord Jesus Christ seldom assume to know what people want until He has asked the individual in specific term what the person wanted. At virtually every instance of Jesus Christ performing signs and healing miracles in the lives of people, He usually ask them literarily what do they desire of Him or their expectation. The man at the pool of Bethesda, blind Bartimaeus, even in Cana of Galilee, He did nothing until they told Him what they lacked. Obviously, Jesus was mindful of attending to people’s desires rather that to assume and overrule it. Ought we all need to learn from the Master the best way to approach ministry.

I have noticed that it is now a common practice that people will just arrogate to themselves the right and power to command so-called blessing upon people they know nothing about, especially in these days of social media and messaging applications and platforms explosion. They will usually declare and decree whatever they want on people. Come on, the power of prayer and the use of the name of Jesus Christ in commanding or decreeing prayer and supplications should be done orderly not disorderly as it is commonly and flippantly done now. Let us learn and tow the steps of the Master, in order to get resounding and enduring result. Must not and should never treat divine issues flippantly. These are issues of life, living and eternity, let us approach the throne of grace in all humility and decorum.

True, we have been given the authority to use the name of Jesus to access heaven for whatsoever we desire. However, it has to be done in accordance to the instruction and stipulations of the owner of the name, else result may become hit or miss affair. And it ought not be so, for there is limitless power in the use of the name when used properly. If you want to get consistent result in prayer and ministration, adhere to the proper way of using the name of the Lord. Ask people what they desire from the Lord before you start decreeing and commanding what you assumed. For, if the person or people you are praying for are not in agreement with you, your prayer will mostly be ineffective. Jesus usually asks, why don’t you emulate the Lord by following His lead and start getting remarkable results and answers to prayers. This is God’s perfect will for every prayer prayed, you are in God’s will to pray.

It is written:

“And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.” John 14:13-14

“Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.” John 15:18

“And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.” John 16:23-24

“Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.” Psalm 50:15

“Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.” Jeremiah 33:3.

The above scripture passages and many more like them are sure, certain, powerful, genuine and true. However, they must be applied and administered in proper context in line with God’s command for their use. It is God’s perfect will to answer our prayers but on God’s terms which are well spelt out in the bible with reference to the way of the Master. No one can outperform the Master, adhering to the Lord’s method of seeking the permission and desired expectations of the person or people involved is to be adhere to. Then marvelous result is inevitable. God is faith. Grace and wisdom be multiplied to you in the mighty name of Jesus.

Walk away to walk into purpose.

Walking away is not weakness but divine strategy to triumph and impact life resoundingly. To arrive at your God ordained destination you may have to walk away from whatever He asked you to walk away from. Walking away is not the easiest decision but most important decision to arrive at your higher level of purpose in life. Walking away is not always geographical but mostly psychological in the mind first. The first move in walking away starts in the mind before the physical is manifested. Even at times geography is not required in walking away. It is really a mindset thing. The children of Israel left Egypt, crossed the Red Sea in most spectacular miracle. Yet most of that generation never left Egypt in their minds, therefore, only two persons out of the generation that left Egypt reached the Promised land because most of the people left Egypt physically but psychologically stayed put in Egypt. Walking away in obedience to God starts in the mind before the physical manifestation.

Walk away from sin, walk away from iniquities, walk away from fear and doubt. Walk away from whatever is contrary to the command and instruction of the living God. Obedience in walking away is always a setup for greatness even if at first it looks like a setback. When God command to walk away, do not analyze it just obey. Rest assured, God’s command to walk away will never contradict the written and spoken word of God, if needs be, that is your litmus test to know that it is God’s command. That means God will not tell you to walk away from your spouse that has done nothing wrong. Or leave a church because you do not like the face of the pastor or some brethren in the assembly. God will never command you to walk away from the path of righteousness into sin. You can easily litmus test the instruction and direction to walk away.

However, God can and in most cases command you to walk away from what seems to be comfort, sure guaranteed and settled achievement. While commanding you to walk into something that looks so uncertain that it will be contrary to common sense evaluation. Remember, God told Abram to walk away from everything settled, comfortable and the certainty he knew and enjoyed in Ur of Chaldees. Obedience of the command is what made Abraham the father of nations, father of faith and friend of God forever, obedience pays. Moses walked away from the comfort of Pharaoh’s palace to fulfil his calling as liberator of Israel. Ruth walked away from Moab to become an ancestor of Jesus Christ. Rahab walked away from Jericho to become an ancestor of Jesus Christ. Even our Lord Jesus Christ had to walk away from the glory He enjoyed in heaven with the Father to come into the world to become the Savior of mankind. Walking away from comfort in obedience to God, guarantees incalculable blessings and reward, be mindful of it.

Even by exercising of your mind, you may decide to walk away from doing somethings not because they are easy or because God impressed on your heart to walk away from them. But simply because you are cognizant of the fact that; “All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient. All things are lawful for me, but all things do not edify” 1 Corinthians 10:23 further accentuated in 1 Corinthians 6:12 “All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.” Could be because of the position you held in the society, leadership, ministry, etc. You may decide against things that are not necessarily sin or iniquity. Your calling might demand it.

I don’t know what the Lord is telling you to walk away from, be it some sins, iniquities, fear, doubt, comfort, or whatsoever it is. Obey and be launched into your God ordained trajectory of greatness. Walking away is an act of utter faith in the faithfulness of God. It is an act of surrendering to God with confidence that God is faithful.
It is always easy to stay put in comfort, but it is better to move into uncertainty by faith trusting God’s command in doing so. Apostle Paul walked away from his prominent position as a stalwart in Judaism and embraced faith in Jesus Christ. In spite of the obvious attended peril, in so doing he wrote at least one third of the New Testament and got his name written in golden indelible ink forever. No one can remember the names of his colleagues in Judaism then that never surrendered to Jesus Christ. If you are reading this piece and you are yet to surrender your life to Jesus Christ, today is your day of salvation, do not postpone it. Walk away from whatever belief system you are engaged in now and come to Jesus Christ and your life will be changed for good, you will be shunning hell and have heaven to gain. Walk away from what is unprofitable and walk into the call of God in your life. This is God’s perfect will for you. Grace and wisdom be multiplied to you in the mighty name of Jesus. Never shy from walking away, into your destiny.
