Today, let us understand how the Kingdom of God works through Seed, Time, and Harvest.

God created everything in this world in a seed form where it is designed to multiply when sown in its kind.

God did not create at once billions of cows to feed the generations of human beings to come. It is a seed form like where Adam and Eve were created to be the first seeds that multiplied the human race.

That’s why whatever you sow in life, you shall also reap at the right time in folds.

Now we have been given the same TIME which is a very important commodity, and our Time will either be working for us, or working against us, and it all depends on the kind of seeds we sow using our time.

An example of this is about 2 farmers,

Both of them have the same time, and the first farmer use his time to plant corn seeds in his farm and prayed to God for the abundance of harvest, thus making his time work for him and he is just waiting for the right season for him to reap.

Now the second farmer, uses his time praying to God expecting also for a great harvest without even sowing any seeds, and clearly time is not working for him. He is just fooling himself.

That is why you see a lot of Marriage ended up in separation and divorce, because people are expecting things to just work out where they haven’t even sown any seeds into their relationship.

You didn’t sow seed of quality time to your spouse, or a seed of appreciation where you show little kind of gestures just to let him/her know that you appreciate his/her efforts in doing things for the family.

This is also the same thing with our jobs, we are expecting a great harvest on our sales, but we are poorly sowing quality seeds or not sowing at all seeds that will produce harvest.

Many employees do not sow seeds of overtime, for you just think that you just work according to what you are paid for, and you don’t even plant seed of doing extra mile to your clients, and no seed of understanding every time your boss corrects you where you should try to check where he’s coming from,

and you are expecting a good harvest of sales and having harmony at work without you even sowing the right kind of seeds.

This is also why many people blame God for their circumstance, and many were thinking that He is not answering their prayers, for He is not healing them of their sickness.

But the question is, have you sown seed of time fellowshipping and talking to Him?

What seeds have you sown in building His Kingdom?

Have you sown the seed of knowledge and Wisdom coming from God’s Word that answers all your problems and planted it in your life?

Now we don’t expect things in life to manifest in our favor without even knowing the True Nature of God, having no time and relationship with Him, and not knowing how He operates in His Kingdom through Sowing and Reaping.

So today, Seek God first, submit to Him and ask for His Wisdom, so He would give you the right seeds that you will sow in life.

“Now God 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 active goodness, kindness, and love].”
(2 Corinthians 9:10)

God loves you, and start sowing the right kind of seeds in your life.

SEED…..TIME….HARVEST!

Today, let us understand why many of us are Frustrated.

Frustration is Real.

But if we would just try to diagnose it, if we try to examine it, we will realize that the reason why we get frustrated is because

“we did not get what we want, at the time we wanted it, and we’re devastated about it.”

Now whenever you feel Frustrated, you just need to pause and step back, be honest and ask yourself,

“is this what I really want? did God told me to do this?
or is it just me forcing my way to get this favor?”

When we try to re-evaluate the truth behind our frustration, we are actually growing Spiritually and Emotionally.

And God protects us and He sometimes don’t allow us to do shortcuts in having big things in life for it would just ruin us in the long run when our hearts are not yet right and we are not yet ready for the bigger responsibilities that comes along with it, and that’s how God loves us.

That’s why when we experience frustration, God is actually giving us a signal like a GPS instructing us to REROUTE, or He is telling us that we need to have a RESET in life, or He may be telling us that there is an aspect in our life that needs REALIGNMENT.

That’s why BREAKTHROUGH HAPPENS when we HEAR from God and we ABIDE in them.

It’s not literally hearing the audible voice of God, but it’s a prompting in your spirit, like an instinct telling you to do things, and this is the Counsel and Wisdom coming from God aligning you to His favor.

But how can we hear from Him if all the voices we listen to comes from the corrupted voices of this world that is full of hate, lust, jealousy, godless chatter, murders, slander, and pride?

It will all just lead you in complaining and blaming others of your circumstance, and you trying to force yourself to get what you want that doesn’t end up well.

Now hearing from God is possible if we spend more time with Him, meditating on His Word having fellowship with Him, where we LEAN on Him, and not lean in our own understanding.

That’s why Prayer is not a Monologue where you always are the only one speaking and begging God, pleading to Him without even hearing from Him.

But our prayer should be a DIALOGUE where you give Him thanks for the opportunities and you ask for His Wisdom and counsel and you pause and allow God time to speak to your heart through His Word.

As Jesus said,

“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.”
(John 10:27)

BREAKTHROUGH HAPPENS when we hear from God and we Abide in them.

So have an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ, seek Him First, spend time fellowshipping with Him, and try to listen in your heart, and abide in His Word.

Let us then be Faithful in the little, so God can trust us with MUCH.
(Luke 16:10)

All is well with you! Great day ahead.

Today, guard your mouth to not talk to someone about your situation or your problem, rather talk to them about what’s right with God and how good He is.

For no matter what challenges you are going through, you just need to lean unto Him and set our mind unto Jesus who gives you the PEACE amidst the chaos you are dealing with today.

His Peace surpasses all understanding and you could not find it in this world, For His peace allows you to navigate through your stressfull situation where God is working in your Favor.

How magnificent the Peace of God is! God loves you!

“And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
(Philippians 4:7)

All is well with you today. God’s got your back!

Have a Productive day ahead!

God made Salvation very easy that even children could understand, even people who can’t read and write can comprehend it, and even the elderly could also understand it.

God’s Word is very clear in telling us that,

“If you DECLARE with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and BELIEVE in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, YOU WILL BE SAVED.”
(Romans‬ ‭10:9‬)

That is the too good to be True News. It is the True Gospel of the Covenant of Grace.

It is not by always asking forgiveness to God for the sins that you always repeat again and again that you will be saved.

But it is having a True Repentance where you totally SUBMIT your whole life to Him once and for all, and you RENEW your mind to His Ways as you CHANGE your Way of Living being aligned to His Word which is Spirit and Life. (John 6:63)

That’s why it is important to have an understanding that we are made up of Spirit, Soul, and Body. (Thessalonians 5:23)

Because the moment we receive Christ in our hearts, the old broken corrupted spirit in us will now be born again from above, born from the incorruptible Word of God which now dwells in us having the Mind of Christ.
(1 Corinthians 2:16)

But your Soul carnal part which houses your mind, will and emotions will still be the same that would always want to gratify the lust of the flesh (body), having thoughts of corruption that makes you do stupid things that are not aligned with God.

That’s why it is walking daily , having our mind focus in this New Born again Spirit in us where transformation takes place.

It is by living as a New Man in the born again Spirit of God, and not walking in our soulish carnal old self which always wants to conform to the ungodly patterns of this world.

As Paul said in Galatians 2:20,

“I am crucified with Christ. I live, yet it's not me. I'm alive, but it's not really me. It's not that old me. It's not the part I used to consider me. It's not the old man, but the new man — the one in whom Christ lives.

So the life I now live, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me."

And as God’s Word say,

For to be carnally minded is death; but to be Spiritually minded is LIFE and PEACE.
(Romans 8:6)

Many of us today are more focus on our performance not recognizing that we are being sin conscious which results to condemning and imputing other people’s sin unto them.

It is like you are thinking that your sin is bigger and more important than what Jesus did on the cross, and you are demeaning and decreasing the value of His sacrifice for us.

Contrary to popular opinion, people don't go to hell because of their sins.

People go to hell because they rejected the payment for their sins. They go to hell because they refused to receive the Savior Jesus Christ whom God the Father sent by His Grace as a Gift.

The Grace of God is a Gift, it is unmerited, UNEARNED, and undeserved favor of God.

That’s why anything that is earned is Not Grace.

God's Word is very clear stating that we are saved by GRACE through Faith in Christ Jesus and not by our own efforts or works (Ephesians 2:8-9).

So if you have already received the Lord Jesus Christ, then you've been reconciled to our God the Father. Sin isn't an issue. God isn't angry with you over your sin.

The Lord wants you to stop focusing on sin and start receiving His love. God loves you even though you don't deserve it. He's pleased with you even though you're not pleased with yourself.

Let God’s love and Grace remove that old desires of yours with you new desires which are now aligned to His purpose on your life.

Commit your life to Jesus and walk with Him daily, and by this you are partaking in His divine nature where you'd serve Him more accidentally than you ever have on purpose.

You'd live holier accidentally motivated by love than you ever have on purpose due to fear and dread. You are now walking in His Spirit and that makes you not fulfilling the lust of the flesh. (Gal 5:16)

God loves you and nothing can separate you from His love!

All is well with you!

Blessed Sunday to you and your family.

Glory and Praise be to God forever.

People you see in your work place, people in your environment, or those friends of yours on the social media, you may see them smiling and living a normal happy life, but many of us don’t know know that on the inside some of them are struggling, in pain dealing with an emotional attack.

Many are suffering from depression, oppression, fear and anxiety which they are trying to fight with their own strength but could not seem to overcome it.

And people use different kinds of coping mechanisms, meditations, therapies, and some even take medications which help alleviate their symptoms but not really eradicating the source.

People are fighting their battle using wrong weapons because they do not know who the real enemy is in the first place.

People are deceived thinking that their enemy is their company, their boss, their neighbor, their spouse, relatives, their co-workers, the government, the people in their ministry, their friends,

and many of us have no clue who the real enemy is, and it is like charging or attacking hell with a water pistol.

The Bible makes it clear that we are dealing with 4 classes of demons that operates through the minds of people in this world and in heavenly places. (Ephesians 6:12)

And satan the devil doesn’t want us to know that he is the one deceiving us, that’s why every time you open your bible and you start reading it, in less than 5 minutes you will become sleepy because he doesn’t want you to know the Truth, so you will believe all his lies as he suggests stupid and hurtful things in your mind which you then accept as truth.

And the Bible teaches us that God is a Spirit, and He also created us as spiritual beings with a soul and body, and satan also is a spiritual being.

That’s why we fight the devil not in the natural or in the physical realm but we fight him in the spiritual realm in which the battleground is in our MIND.

That’s why God’s Word is telling us,

“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal (physical, or in the natural) but mighty in God for Pulling down strongholds, Casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every THOUGHT into captivity to the obedience of Christ,”
(2 Corinthians 10:4)

The voices and arguments in your mind that tells you lies and stupid things, the voices that tries to condemn and shame you, that instills guilt in you, telling you that nobody cares about your effort, telling you that you messed up,

the voice that makes you feel that nobody loves you are the voices of the devil satan, and when you suppress all those thoughts and make it dwell in your mind, it becomes a STRONGHOLD.

And God’s Word is telling us that we need to pulldown those high thoughts not with our own strength but with the Might of God operating in our spirit as we cast down those strongholds through His Word and make it captive to the obedience of Christ Jesus, who is the Name above all name, where every knee shall bow!

That’s why it is very important to know that God loves you, and no demon in hell can separate you from His love, and His perfect love casts out fear!
(1 John 4:18)

That’s why when you encounter any demonic and condemning thoughts in your mind, you just need to pull those down, cast them down, or cast those demons out from your life by declaring these simple words of prayer:

“These are not my thoughts, and In the name of Jesus, I cast these demonic thoughts away from my mind, and by the Blood of Jesus I command you devil to go out from my body and never return!

God loves me! And all is well with me and my family, in Jesus name, Amen!”

That is a simple and powerful prayer in resisting the devil’s attack on you.

You just need to submit and depend on God, read and study His Word, meditate on it night and day, and allow God to speak to you in His Word as you fellowship with Him, so He can lead and counsel you on how to navigate this world with His Grace that is sufficient to everything you need in life.

“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you! “ (James 4:7)

God loves you! And all is well with you!

Glory and Praise to God!

When someone calls you early in the morning with news that troubles you, when you wake up feeling emotionally and spiritually drained from the trials you are going through, what do you do?

We SOAK in the Presence of God!

Soaking in His presence is turning our focus away from the problem and we turn our focus to Him, soaking in His presence by reading and declaring back His Word and Promises in our life.

When we soak in His Presence, we find solace, comfort, counsel, strength, and peace in our hearts.

It is when we depend on Him as our Loving Father, seeking Him first and submitting all our cares and worries to Him that allows His abounding Grace to operate in our situation as He rescue us from our troubles.

As the Scripture say,

The Lord hears His people when they call to him for help. He rescues them from all their troubles.
(Psalm 34:17)

Turn to Him, and experience His goodness!

And may His Goodness and Mercy follow you all the days of your life in the name of Jesus, Amen.

Everything will be alright, All is well with you and your family!

God loves you!

Have a Productive day ahead!

Today, whatever battle you are fighting, be it Spiritually, Physically, Financially, or Emotionally, just Stay in the fight knowing that God is on your side!

You may feel discouraged, you may feel alone fighting this battle, you may feel tired and drained, but the first thing you need to do is to be in His presence.

Read a Scripture or Promise in His Word and stand on it, or listen to your favorite Praise and Worship song, and allow God’s presence to build you up as you focus on Him.

The devil will try to use your circumstance for you to lose your focus out from God, and he tries to distract you to focus on other people or things, or he will want you to focus on your self dwelling in self-preservation, self-pity, feeling victimized, and condemned.

But stay in the fight, don’t go AWOL, don’t cave in, don’t quit!, but stay in the fight.

Staying in the fight doesn’t literally mean to fight your opponent or to fight your situation physically by your own strength, but what it means is to fight and cast down those thoughts that tries to lose your focus away from God.

Staying in the fight means resting on His Word and Promise, maintaining the Victory that He already has Blessed us with, and we just need to Wait on His Divine Grace and Intervention.

God’s Grace is already working for you right now, and you just need to stay in the fight by staying in Faith, and draw your Strength and Peace from Him, and don’t go out doing things ahead of Him, but wait and depend on Him and let God’s Grace do things for you.

As God’s Word say,
“But those who wait on Yahweh’s Grace Shall experience Divine strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.”
‭‭ (Isaiah‬ ‭40:31‬ ‭)

Wait on the Lord and renew your strength in Him, His Grace will make you soar like an Eagle, meaning God's divine intervention will place you on top of your circumstance!

For His Grace is Sufficient to thee!
All is well with you! God has got your back!

God is Faithful.
The Best is yet to come!

Glory and Praises to God!

Let God put an end of it today once and for all, before it will bring destruction to you and your family.

Heavenly Father, I admit that I am a sinner,
and today I surrender to you my life.
I repent all my sins and I commit that I will renew my way of thinking,
I will change my way of living that is now aligned to your Word.

Almighty Father, Today I accept the Lord Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I believe that you raised Him up from the dead.
And by the Blood of Jesus, all my sins has been forgiven.
And I accept today the promised Holy Spirit to come dwell in me

And by the Authority that God has given us, I break any stronghold, I break any generational curse, I cease the devil’s maneuver in my life, and I speak death to all of it in the name of Jesus.

And right now, I believe by Faith that I am now Saved!
and I am now delivered from the kingdom of darkness, and I am now translated into the Kingdom of God.

And I speak Life and I release the Blessings of God to every aspect of my life in the name of Jesus I pray, Amen and Amen.

God loves you! And all will be well with you!

When you squeeze an orange, you'll always get an orange juice to come out. For what comes out is what's inside.

The same logic applies to you: when someone squeezes you, puts pressure on you, or says something unflattering or critical, and out of you comes anger, hatred, bitterness, tension, depression, or anxiety, that is what's inside of you.

As the Scripture say,

"Out of the Abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks."
(Luke 6:45)

And when you try to squeeze a believer, what should come out is JESUS!

The Spirit and nature of Jesus will always come out from a true Christian, and that is with Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Goodness, Kindness, Generosity, Faithfulness, and SELF-CONTROL which are his only response to the world. (Galatians 5:22-23)

That is the Fruit of the Spirit which is evident in the life of a true servant of Christ, and you cannot fake it.
