CALL TO ME

“Call to Me, and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things you do not know.” – Jeremiah 33:3   REFERENCE: Jeremiah 33:1-3   Life is full of mysteries and puzzles that confront us daily, and without insight or light, life's challenges will always floor us. It takes a level of revelation to deal with some issues of life. When you know what to do per time or situation, you will live as a high flyer. A faulty vehicle never puzzles a car mechanic because he has light (insight). Are you facing a challenge and wondering how to...

NO DOUBTING

“But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.” ~ James 1:6   REFERENCE: James 1:5-8   James puts forth the fundamental principle of asking from God. Although he was teaching on asking God for wisdom, the principle will work for anything you ask God for in prayers. He said asking must be done in faith and with no doubting, believing that God will give to you liberally and without faulting you or your request (that is, not giving reasons why you should be denied). Doubting...

DON’T LOOK BACK

“But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”” – Luke 9:62   REFERENCE: Luke 9:57-62   When God made us, He put our eyes at the front of our heads so we could always look forward. He wants us to set our eyes on a goal, keep at it, and decide not to look back. Looking back suggests a lack of commitment to a cause you are pursuing. Without commitment, it is not easy to do anything of lasting impact. If you are on a journey...

CHANGE IS HERE: RENEW YOUR WINESKIN

“But new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved.” – Luke 5:38   REFERENCE: LUKE 5:36-39   We rarely choose change; it happens to us. Things we cannot change happen; hence, we have to change. When change happens, it affects social norms, disrupts established patterns, and creates new social models. The earthquakes in Turkey will forever impact their architecture and land use policies. Change is like new wine that must be put in new wineskin to benefit us. Jesus said, “Nobody puts new wine in old wineskins, else the old wineskins will burst, and the wine will...

CHANGE IS HERE: THE NEW YOU

“Your sandals shall be iron and bronze; as your days, so shall your strength be.” – Deuteronomy 33:25   REFERENCE: Deuteronomy 33:24-25   “As your days, so shall your strength be.” God wants you to be relevant to your generation and not be behind in the modes and methods of the new. Paul kept pressing forward to new things, the sons of Issachar understood the times, and Daniel served in three different governments. These men kept themselves relevant. God wants the new you to be relevant to your world.   Let us consider what God wants ‘The New You’ to look...

CHANGE IS HERE: LET THE OLD GO

“So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption.” – 1 Corinthians 15:42   REFERENCE: 1 CORINTHIANS 15:35-44   Times are rapidly changing. To be ahead of the change, form a mental picture of the new you, the kind of person you hope to be in marriage, business, ministry, career, health, etc. Change is a form of death; it is the old dying for the new to emerge, the cessation of a phase, and the inception of another. To benefit from a change, be ready to let the old go.  ...

THE FATHER’S APPOINTED TIME

“Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all, but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father.” – Galatians 4:1-2   REFERENCE:  Galatians 4:1-7   Timing is everything in life. Solomon said, “To everything, there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.” Certain things will only happen at certain times; this is why Paul said that a child, although an heir or inheritor of his Father’s estate, will be treated as a slave and put under instructors...

MAKE GREAT BOASTS

"Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts." ~ I Peter 3:10 (NIV)   REFERENCE: James 3:2-5 (NIV)   In the last episode, we saw the connection between the tongue and seeing good days. The Lord wants me to stay on the same thought – the power of the tongue. Your words can shape your life and create a haven of serenity. Your tongue is tiny compared to other body parts, but God put it there so you can make great boasts – big declarations about your life and future.   I have often seen...

FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT: PEACE

“Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.” – Mark4:39   REFERENCE: Mark 4:35-41   Colossians 3:15 says, “Let the peace of Christ [the inner calm of one who walks daily with Him] be the controlling factor in your hearts [deciding and settling questions that arise]. To this peace indeed you were called as members in one body [of believers]….” (AMP). Peace is another fruit of the Spirit that believers are to manifest; “To this peace indeed you were called….”   This peace comes from intimacy...

SEE GOOD DAYS

"He who would love life and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil…" ~ I Peter 3:10   REFERENCE: I Peter 3:8-12   We all desire to see good days in life, so we hope, pray, and work. Although it eludes many people, it is a possibility. Good days mean having peace, being free from troubles, debts, the yoke of a debilitating illness, etc. Our text reveals that if 'good days' is what we want to experience or see, it will have much to do with our tongue and what we say. Solomon said that the power of...
