HERE IN THE TENT

“Then they said to him, “Where is Sarah your wife?” So he said, “Here, in the tent.”’ – Genesis 18:9   REFERENCE: Genesis 18:6-14   Growing up as a Yoruba boy, the elders had an adage around the hymn, “Pass me not O gentle Savior;” they would say, “‘Do not pass me by, O Lord,’ is not a song you sing sitting down.” They meant you don’t want God to bypass you in life, so you must stand up to meet Him. You must go after what you want and take actions that communicate that you don’t want to miss...

FELLOWSHIP

HELPFUL CHRISTIAN HABITS – FELLOWSHIP

“…not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some…” – Hebrews 10:25a REFERENCE: Hebrews 10:21-25 A good Christian is in the habit of gathering with other believers for fellowship. Fellowship is necessary for a successful and effective Christian walk. Our text counsels us that Jesus’ return is soon, so we should not neglect fellowship. Fellowship is a friendly association with people with whom one shares the same interests. It is union, mutual support, comradeship, brotherhood, and solidarity. These words already speak of the benefits of fellowship. For a Christian, fellowship is the place of growth, productivity,...

WHAT MANNER OF MAN ARE YOU? – JOSEPH

“Joseph said to them, “Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God?” – Genesis 50:19   REFERENCE: GENESIS 50:18-21 Abraham Lincoln said, “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but to test a man’s character, give him power.” Joseph was a gifted man, loved by God, but underwent a long journey that tested his character. He was trained by trials and bettered by betrayal. Through his travails, he learned to live a life of purpose, discipline, godliness, character, and boundaries. He passed the test of character and eventually rose to the throne. Let us examine the character traits that...

WHAT MANNER OF MAN ARE YOU?

“…what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness…” – 2 Peter 3:11b    REFERENCE: 2 PETER 3:11-12 Men's empowerment has not received enough attention. Who helps him fight his fears? To who does he cry? Who teaches him how to be a man of honor or how to treat a woman? Who helps him navigate his culture’s definition of sexuality and manhood? The world paused to celebrate fathers yesterday; in the next week, inspired2Go will focus on men to empower them. These will be invaluable lessons for women and younger men too. Manner is the...

THE SOUND OF FREEDOM

“For it shall come to pass in that day; says the Lord of hosts, ‘that I will break his yoke from your neck, and will burst your bonds; foreigners shall no more enslave them.” – Jeremiah 30:8 REFERENCE: Jeremiah 30:1-10 The children of Israel were in captivity in Babylon; according to records, their situation was so bad that men walked around in anguish, holding their stomachs like pregnant women. It had been many years, yet their freedom seemed delayed. Jeremiah had earlier written to them to plan to stay longer than expected in captivity but ensure they thrived in spite of...

DEVELOP AN EXCELLENT SPIRIT

“Then this Daniel distinguished himself above the governors and satraps because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king gave thought to set him over the whole realm’. – Daniel 6:3    REFERENCE: Daniel 6:1-3 Daniel was an outstanding and extraordinary man; he led a successful life and found favor with God and man. The scripture captures why this is so: an excellent spirit was in him. As believers, the indwelling Holy Spirit makes us uncomfortable with mediocrity and to strive for distinction in all we do. He is the Spirit of wisdom that causes you to excel in all...

EL OLAM: THE EVERLASTING GOD

“Then Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there called on the name of the LORD, the Everlasting God.” ­~ Genesis 21:33   REFERENCE: Genesis 21:28-34   Abraham had several eye-opening encounters with God, and this is another such encounter. God fulfilled the promise of Isaac 25 years after making the promise to Abraham, at the age of 100 years. From that experience, he discovered that time does not limit God; He does not consult time to do whatever He wants at any time – time has nothing on Him. So, when Abraham entered a covenant of perpetuity (with generational...

ELOHIM: THE MIGHTY ONE

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” ~ Genesis 1:1   REFERENCE: Genesis 1:1-10   The first name that introduces God in the Bible is Elohim. Upon this introduction, He proceeded into supernatural acts of creation; we could see a display of unmatched authority and supreme power. Elohim brought everything out of nothing and created order out of chaos. All these He did without recourse to a higher power or consultation with a superior. Hence, this name introduces God as the supreme authority to which every other power or authority submits.   Elohim is the most frequently...

JEHOVAH JIREH – THE LORD WILL PROVIDE

“And Abraham called the name of the place, The-Lord-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, “In the mount of the Lord it shall be provided.” – Genesis 22:14 REFERENCE: Genesis 22:1-14 We have one of the most intriguing stories in the bible unfolding here. A father is on his way to sacrifice his son in obedience to God. Imagine the anxiety and the myriads of emotions on their minds. The father is afraid he may return home empty-handed, while the son wonders why there is no animal for the sacrifice as at other times. Could he be the sacrificial animal?...

JEHOVAH GMOLAH – THE GOD OF RECOMPENSE (2)

“…that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly.” – Matthew 6:4 REFERENCE: Matthew 6:1-4 We learned yesterday that Jehovah Gmolah keeps records and remembers. He superintends over every deed (or seed), ensuring it receives a commensurate harvest, which is true concerning God-focused acts of charity and service. He is the best paymaster so expect His reward or compensation when you give your tithes, diverse offerings, or towards a charitable cause. David prayed, “May the Lord remember all your offerings.” (Psalms 20:3) Jehovah Gmolah is also mindful that you...
