Scripture Reading: Luke 15:11-24…

There are some chapters or books in the Bible that stand for some life situations. For examples. 1 Cor 13 is a love chapter. Hebrew 11 is a faith chapter. Genesis 1 is a creation chapter; the books of proverbs and Ecclesiastes are wisdom and how to live a fulfilling life. Psalm 51 is a forgiveness chapter. However, people never take time out to know why those books or chapters were written. King David wrote chapter 51 after God exposes his sin of adultery and murder. This same David, the God, called him the apple of His eye (Ps 17:8).

From our reading today, the prodigal son, just like king David did, went back to his father. I can picture the prodigal son’s father waiting on him every day knowing well that someday he will come back. Remember, the expectation of the righteous shall never be cut off (Pro 23:18). One thing that you should know today is that no matter what the situation is, God is waiting for you. You need to go back to him. The secret of God merry and your happiness a function of your decision to go back to God. Luke 15: 24 says they began to be merry until the prodigal son decided to go back; his father did not celebrate.

Things to ponder on, what if Adam and Eve request the forgiveness of God? What if Eli, the priest, asks God for forgiveness? What if king Saul begs God for mercy? Never assume there is no forgiveness until God said so; you know He will always forgive you (Eze 18:23, 33:11). This was how God answered Adam when Adam told Him that they were naked. Gen 3:11, Who said to you that you were naked? Saul’s refusal to ask forgiveness made him lose his throne, but Daniel meekness to demand forgiveness established his throne gave him dynasty (1Sam 2:35). Those who go back to God will always retain their space in life. I dare you today to go back to God because He is still waiting for you.

Spiritual awakening

Leave a reply

The Champion’s Meal 10/17/2019

Scripture Reading
Solomon said, “Surely, in vain the net is spread In the sight of any bird” (Proverb 1:17).

Spiritual awakening is the secret of authority over the physical world. Once you are dead spiritually, it just a matter of time you will soon be out physical. Bishop David Oyedepo said, “If it is well with you spiritually, it shall be well with you everywherely.” Another name for spiritual awakening is spiritual alertness. Paul said those who sleep, sleep at night (1The 5:7). Night in this context of devotional means the late age of your life. What the above entails is that the only time you could neglect your spirituality if you choose to is in your old age. What age then is old age? According to the scripture, old age is between the age bracket of 101-120years, the bible says a child shall die at 100 (Is 65:20). Even late king David said those who are planted in the house of God (Children of God) should bring forth fruit in their old age. Spiritual vacation is a risk Bishop David Oyedepo says.

This is the secret; not to be prey for your enemy, you must pray. Not to be a food to your adversaries, you must be full, and not to waste away, you must wait on God. Prophet Isaiah said those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength (Is 40:31). Two verses before verse 31 of Isaiah 40 says, “He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength.” Therefore, no matter how weak you are today, God, He will supply your strength if you wait on Him. One of the things waiting on God does is to give and makes you alert and awake to the situation of life. It was a command when Paul said, “Awake, you who sleep…” Until Jesus Christ fell asleep, the storm did not come to the boat (Luke 8:23). As a bird that is awake could not be prey to the predator, so is a Christian who is awake will not be prey to his oppressor. It is time for your spiritual awakening.

It Is Time

Step Up, Step Out, and Step Into Your Calling.

Rules and regulations are set by men, but faith to set a new record is given by God. Listen, those who wait will waste, but those who will go will grow and break new ground. Enough of waiting for men’s approval, your world is waiting for you.

If you can come this far, by God hands, who told you, you cannot go that far by the same hands of God? Life is infinity; self-limitation is a self-inflicted disease of destiny. Please stop subscribing to it.

Fear is a liar; mistakes (What you take in error) are a teacher of life. Inactivity on the platform of what will people say is the source frustration. Nothing great starts excellent, everything is a product a new beginning. What you are celebrating today are products of what some men and women dared to make happen yesterday.

It is time, it is your turn, don’t wait any further. Make mistakes and correct yourself, then do it again.

A tree that cannot prevent you from falling, cannot kill if it ever falls fall on you. Those who cannot help you, cannot stop you to achieve your vision. Think about it, why should you surround your fear around people who don’t care?

My father Bishop David Olaniyi Oyedepo said, “It is foolishness to be shameful of what is gainful.” Your vision is gainful; refuse to be shameful about it.

Those who dare it will soon own it. Go all out, Step all out and give all your best.

It is time.!!!

Please, share it and liberate someone from the spirit of postponement and fear of what will people say. Mouth is designed to talk; so let them talk. My lovely mother told me, what you do or don’t do, does not matter, people will discuss you regardless, even they talk about the dead, how much more you the living.

Get over it, just step up. It is your tune to shine.

…be inspired, live an abundant life and help others because life is good.

Step Out

Leave a reply

In 2010, I was in the south-south region of Nigeria, looking for the map of one of the oil-producing states of the country. I have asked people who I thought would have access to the map, but all effort was aborted. I later decided to ask a motorcycle rider, which finally led me to where I found the map. The event made me came up with this verdict, what you are looking for, is in the hands’ of people you do not want to ask or inside what you are not searching. I understood that what brought you here might not be enough to take you there. You need the help of others who are around to equip you for the new journey for a better destination. What then do you need now? Beware of self-limitation.

Self-limitation is the most dangerous deception that could enslave one’s destiny. Whoever, desire to feature in the future needs to be informed about self-limitation. Self-limitation has the capacity and capability to cage vision and frustrates one’s passion. It is also the highway to defeat; and access to failure. Self-limitation introduces emptiness and embraces weakness. It is the gateway to slow motion and confusion.

The solution to self-limitation is the boldness to step out. The courage to step out of old principle and walk on water like Apostle Peter. It is sometimes essential to unlearn and relearn. It is occasionally necessary to revisit and see life from another person’s perspective. Life is infinite. How far you can see is a function of how far you want to see. The only limitation out there is one that you places on yourself. As self-limitation quarantine, so stepping out breeds freedom.

Allow me to round up with three words that will make you step out with result and intention. Communing, Loving and Giving. Communing is the constant and intentional spiritual connection with people of like minds (Inner Circle). Communing makes you know your team (Colleagues) and creates bonding. It creates awareness about others and bridge gap. Communing helps with effective communication. Think communing think connection.

Love is a spiritual weapon that could shut down the intention of an adversary. You either have love, or your adversary will take the stage for your destiny. Good life feeds on love. Apostle Paul said in one of his major writing to the church in Corinth (1Cor 13:2-3), “If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains but does not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.”

With the above scripture, I believe love is a king. Love is the investment of yourself in the now with undivided attention. Love does not only exist between a couple for reproduction or within a family for bonding; much more love display one’s inner peace and the stepping out of comfort zone to meet the need of others without reservation.

Lastly, step out with giving. Giving is the reflection of your life. It is the indication of genuine connection and the pointer of your heart. You do not give because you have, but you give because it is what makes the resources of the world flow. As breath to life, so is giving to destiny. As love helps to share inner peace, so is giving. Giving is an act of sharing with the rest of the world. It is a way to communicate your love and compassion for others. Giving defines you; giving preserves generation and legacy.

If self-limitation is a blockage, stepping out is the solution. Stepping out, therefore, is the change in old mentality by communing with people of like minds, while showing undiluted love for the team without reservation. Remember, commune without limitation, give without reservation and love without hesitation.

…be inspired, live an abundant life and help others because life is good.
