Green Goodness

  “ The righteous also shall see, and fear, And shall laugh at him: Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; But trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness. But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.” Psalm 52 : 6 - 8 KJV The first lesson for students of economics is inescapable. It is the definition of economics, stating that human needs are insatiable. Yes, human needs for basic amenities of life are driven by greedy goodness. The strength of those who trust in the abundance of material properties, financial independence, political position, etc, are measured by relative comparison of success, and not by real contentment in satisfaction. That is why greedy goodness is only concerned about the selective distribution of goodness for selfish gain at the expense of plotting evil and wickedness for others. Whereas, the goodness of God is ever green and sustainable, without...

Spirit Services

  “ Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; And uphold me with thy free spirit. Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; And sinners shall be converted unto thee.” Psalm 51 : 12 - 13 KJV One of the beauties of salvation and freedom from sins and all forms of unrighteousness is the possession of the free spirit of God. The free spirit embodies the inspiration of the Most High and ability to operate in the realm of the supernatural. Whenever a believer is privileged to escape mechanical rendering of activities or services and carnal engagement with people, he literally becomes the battle axe and a weapon of war in the mighty hands of the Creator of heaven and earth. Therefore, “ Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; And uphold me with thy free spirit” plea goes beyond grace for salvation unto gift for service for kingdom expansion. And we all need spirit sacrifices to be engaged for spirit services. Unfortunately, most often and like the first apostles of Jesus Christ, we ...

Right Riches

  “ The way of the LORD is strength to the upright: But destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity. The righteous shall never be removed: But the wicked shall not inhabit the earth .” Proverbs 10 : 29 - 30 KJV It is not a surprise that the affluent, influential, politicians, and the prosperous people on earth are considered the lords because of their material strength. What is always strange in our world, and not just a surprise, is the scriptural revelation “ The way of the LORD is strength to the upright” . Even in Christian circles, ‘The way of the LORD ’ versus ‘The way of the lords’ is not a straightforward call. When riches are measured by the metrics of physical prosperity, political prowess, and financial freedom, people will be readily swayed on the path of unrighteousness, evil, and wickedness to attain these metrics. The way of the lords pride itself in the ability to achieve the metrics of worldly riches, especially by undermining all acts of righteousness and t...

God’s Gifts

  “ And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou dismayed: take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go up to Ai: see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land: ” Joshua 8 : 1 KJV Ignorance of God’s gifts in life and ministry can readily turn owners to negotiators, beggars and slaves on their birthrights. Israel’s forfeiture of her rights to Ai had previously turned them to victims, until Joshua dealt with the root of discredit, disappointment and destruction. Notwithstanding, Joshua still needed a recovery of confidence to believe that Ai has been restored as one of the gifts from the Lord.  To the New Testament saints, the gifts of the Spirit for accessing possessions include the words of wisdom, knowledge and the discerning of spirit. Unfortunately, ignorance of God’s gifts in life emboldened believers’ enemies to sell the gifts of fear and intimidation freely on their lots. And as long as the hearts are crip...

Saviour’s Salvation

  “ Now consider this, ye that forget God, Lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver. Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: And to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God .” Psalm 50 : 22 - 23 KJV The fact that the scriptures promote the salvation of God implies the existence of salvation from other sources. Candidly, every offer of salvation and deliverance in life that doesn’t glorify God is a salvation from Satan. Yes, Satan's salvation is designed ultimately for the destruction of its buyers (John 10:10). Unfortunately, all pursuits of excellence, success, and prosperity in life, career, and ministry attract more active conversations with agents who promote Satan’s salvation than listening to the voice of the Holy Spirit that serves the Saviour’s salvation. By their use of the tools of pleasure, pressure, and persecution, many mighty men have been lured to forget God; and they have been slaughtered on the altar of Satan's sa...

Saint Sacrifice

   “ Gather my saints together unto me; Those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice. And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: For God is judge himself. Selah .” Psalm 50 : 5 - 6 KJV Much of life’s happenings in believers’ lives are attributed to the actions and inaction of people and principalities outside their control because they are not gathered unto God. When children are negatively influenced by the aggressive world of social media and the increasingly licentiousness of their school curricula, believers often throw up their arms in disbelief, disarray and disappointment. Marriages break. Ministry drags. Mountains mount against believers’ life engagements because we fail to realize the potency of our sweet fellowship with God. Whereas, “ Gather my saints together unto me “ is God’s passionate call unto all the redeemed saints of God to a fellowship in prayer and meditation on His promises. This saint sacrifice is the only key to practicing the presence of...

Lawful Life

  “ This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” Joshua 1 : 8 - 9 KJV The right perspective of liberty is freedom from oppression and right to free decisions and the dignity of life in any system. Whenever this liberty is misconstrued as licentiousness or lawlessness, the system becomes unsafe. Invariably, a lawful life is designed for a guided enjoyment of all resources within the system, with a careful escape from the interference of evil and wickedness within the system. Therefore, when God said to Joshua “ This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and nig...
