How To Discover Your Vision (3)

Mon, 6 Dec 2021

‘To him the Lord said in a vision.’ Acts 9:10

Maybe you think because you haven’t been to Bible college that God would never give a vision to someone like you. But you would be mistaken.

The Bible says: ‘There was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias; and to him the Lord said in a vision, “Ananias.” And he said, “Here I am, Lord.” So the Lord said to him, “Arise and go to the street called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus, for behold, he is praying. And in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and putting his hand on him, so that he might receive his sight.” …And Ananias went his way and entered the house; and laying his hands on him he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” Immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he received his sight at once; and he arose and was baptised. So when he had received food, he was strengthened.’ (Acts 9:10–19 NKJV)

And who exactly was Ananias? The right man, in the right place, at the right time, with the right attitude! And God used him to lead the apostle Paul to Christ. Pretty impressive, eh? But what’s interesting is this: after that, Ananias is never mentioned again in Scripture.

Bottom line: he was a ‘nobody’ who played a key role in God’s plan. And if God gave Ananias a vision and used him greatly—He will do the same for you.

How To Discover Your Vision (2)

Sun, 5 Dec 2021

‘Lord, what do You want me to do?’ Acts 9:6

Paul believed he was doing God’s will by imprisoning and killing Christians. And when he discovered his true calling, it was in a dramatic way. ‘As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from Heaven. Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?” And he said, “Who are You, Lord?” Then the Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.” So he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do You want me to do?” Then the Lord said to him, “Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”’ (Acts 9:3–6 NKJV)

That day his ministry began; one that was destined to change the world! And as his life neared its end, he could say, ‘I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision.’ (Acts 26:19 NKJV) Your vision must not be born out of your need to impress others or be like them. You’re called to do God’s will, not your own or someone else’s.

The Bible says, ‘Ephraim [was] oppressed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked by human precept.’ (Hosea 5:11 NKJV) Your vision must be the result of divine guidance and not ‘human precept’. You must be able to pray, ‘Lord, You gave me this vision, and I’m trusting You to provide what I need.’

The apostle John writes, ‘This is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.’ (1 John 5:14 NKJV)

‘They speak a vision of their own heart, not from the mouth of the Lord.’ Jeremiah 23:16

You don’t get to decide God’s purpose for your life, you discover it. How? Through prayer. God says, ‘I know the plans I have for you.’ (Jeremiah 29:11 NLT) Your parents may not have planned you, but God did. You may be overwhelmed with problems, but God sees your potential.

David’s family didn’t think he would amount to much. But where they saw a shepherd boy, God saw a king. Looking back, David wrote: ‘You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in Your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. How precious are Your thoughts about me… I can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, You are still with me!’ (Psalm 139:16–18 NLT)

You’re unique—and so is God’s plan for you. It’s encouraging to read stories and listen to great achievers and think, ‘If they can do it, so can I!’ However, the secret is to learn from others without trying to duplicate them. It’s not enough to have a good idea; it must be the will of God.

You don’t get to decide what your vision will be; you discover it by seeking God for direction. And His Word says He will give it to you: ‘Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left.’ (Isaiah 30:21 NKJV) That way you know it’s ‘from the mouth of the Lord.’

How Are Things At Home?

Fri, 3 Dec 2021

‘I will lead a life of integrity in my own home.’ Psalm 101:2

After King David’s affair with Bathsheba, the prophet Nathan told him, ‘The sword shall never depart from your house.’ (2 Samuel 12:10 NKJV) And it happened. His son Amnon raped his half-sister Tamar, and because David had lost his moral authority at home, he did nothing about it. When his other son Adonijah staged a coup, his father ‘never crossed him at any time by asking, “Why have you done so?”’ (1 Kings 1:6 NASB) If ever there was a time David needed to be a husband and father, this was it.

As a leader he unified Israel, won wars, and brought the Ark of the Covenant back to Jerusalem. But with his own family, he blew it. No wonder he ‘went up by… the Mount of Olives, and wept.’ (2 Samuel 15:30 NKJV) When he heard of his son Absalom’s untimely death, he cried, ‘If only I had died in your place!’ (2 Samuel 18:33 NKJV) And when he faced death himself, instead of sending for his wife and children, his servants hired a ‘young woman… and she cared for the king.’ (1 Kings 1:4 NKJV)

The man who made strangers of his own family died in a stranger’s arms. It’s too late to change David’s story—but not yours! If you succeed in your career and fail at home, your achievements will be hollow. Apart from your relationship with God, your first priority should be to love your spouse and dedicate yourself to the children in your care. David wrote, ‘I will lead a life of integrity in my own home.’ Sadly, he didn’t live up to these words. But by God’s grace, your story can be different!

Wonderful.....

The guy on the left is named William West.
The guy on the right is also named William West.

The first William West was sent to Leavenworth Prison in Kansas in 1901. When the second William West arrived at the same prison for a minor crime two years later in 1903, he was told that he was already in prison serving a life sentence for murder.

After some confusion, the staff realised that they had two inmates with the same name that looked pretty much the same.

The two men were not related in any way, and law enforcement quickly realised that a more reliable method of identification was necessary.

The case of William West and William West changed the face of forensics. Fingerprinting soon became the standard method for identifying criminals.

Let Their Criticism Strengthen You

Thu, 2 Dec 2021

‘Listen to what they are saying. Afterwards, you will be encouraged.’ Judges 7:11

Are you being criticised? Has it shaken your confidence? God told Gideon, ‘If you are afraid to attack, go down to the camp… and listen to what they are saying. Afterwards, you will be encouraged.’ (Judges 7:10–11 NIV) Why did God send Gideon and his servant into the enemy camp? To hear what they were saying, and to encourage him. When they arrived, a soldier was telling a friend about his dream: ‘“A round loaf of barley bread came tumbling into the Midianite camp. It struck the tent with such force that the tent… collapsed.” His friend responded, “This can be nothing other than the sword of Gideon… God has given… the whole camp into his hands.” When Gideon heard the dream and its interpretation, he… worshipped.’ (Judges 7:13–15 NIV)

Sometimes when you need encouragement, it’s good to pay attention to what your critics are saying. As Dale Carnegie observed, ‘Nobody kicks a dead dog!’

You’re making a difference—otherwise, they wouldn’t even notice you. Seen through this framework, criticism can actually strengthen your faith. For every battle, God has a strategy. So don’t just pray for victory; ask God to show you the winning strategy. A God-given vision will always be greater than the person who is called to fulfil it. The Bible says, ‘Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain.’ (Psalm 127:1 KJV) God knows the weight you can handle, the materials you need, and how it all fits together in your life. So if He’s speaking to you and you’re afraid to act, stand on this verse: ‘I will be with you, and you will strike down all the [enemy].’ (Judges 6:16 NIV)

The Reasons For Your Discontent

Wed, 1 Dec 2021

‘They have dug for themselves cracked cisterns that can hold no water at all!’ Jeremiah 2:13

Let’s take a moment to understand some reasons for our discontent:

(1) Looking for happiness in the wrong places. God said: ‘My people have done two evil things: They have abandoned Me—the fountain of living water. And they dug for themselves cracked cisterns that can hold no water at all!’ There is an emptiness inside you that only God can fill, and He will, if you invite Him in.

(2) Failure to serve others. How we treat others is often a reflection of how we feel about ourselves. Philosopher Eric Hoffer said: ‘The remarkable thing is that we really love our neighbour as ourselves: we do unto others as we do unto ourselves. We hate others when we hate ourselves. We are tolerant towards others when we tolerate ourselves. We forgive others when we forgive ourselves. We are prone to sacrifice others when we are ready to sacrifice ourselves. It is not only love of self but hatred of self which is at the root of the troubles that afflict our world.’

(3) Comparing ourselves with others. Paul writes, ‘Rejoice with those who rejoice.’ (Romans 12:15 NIV) When you resent someone else’s achievements or level of blessing, joy drains out of your life like a sieve. The Bible says: ‘Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other. In His grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well.’ (Romans 12:4–6 NLT)

AntiChristian:
My stand is that God doesn't need to have a son to function!

He needs no partner to save his creation!

God is able to do all things on His own!

soon, you will come to the understanding of HIM.

The story above is very pathetic if truly this is from our own dear Nigeria Police. We can't continue to leave like this in this country. If the police force want Nigerian citizens to respect & honour them, they can't be putting up a show like this every time.

FG or some higher authorities truly needs to talk to this guys to help them calm down with their attitude. They menace to the public I must confess. And it's not fair on the harmless citizens.

You’re In A Time Of Testing

Tue, 30 Nov 2021

‘Joseph remained a slave until his own words had come true, and the Lord had finished testing him.’ Psalm 105:19

God may not respond exactly when you want Him to, but He is always on time. ‘No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.’ (Psalm 84:11 NKJV) It’s difficult to watch God blessing others while you’re forced to wait. The Bible tells us, ‘Joseph remained a slave until his own words came true, and the Lord had finished testing him.’ God’s plan was for Joseph to live in a palace, yet for years he lived in a prison, charged with crimes he never committed. But it was there he met a butler who had the ear of Pharaoh, and through this connection, he was promoted to the number-two spot in Egypt.

Understand this: when you walk with God, your opportunities for advancement are regulated by His plan, not someone else’s actions. And preparation always precedes promotion. When Elijah called down fire from Heaven on Mount Carmel, everybody admired and applauded him. But prior to that he’d spent years living through a famine, and the only friend he had was an impoverished widow. Together they had to trust God for every meal. That’s when Elijah learned important lessons about humility, divine guidance, and trusting God in times of need; things that don’t necessarily make sense to your natural mind.

When God is going to build something great, He takes time to lay a strong foundation. ‘Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.’ (Luke 2:52 NIV) Allow yourself time to grow. Let Him build a foundation under you that will sustain you and the blessings He has in mind for you in the years ahead.

‘Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.’ Proverbs 29:25

Fourth, change your mindset. Does risk scare you? Are you discouraged by past failures? Do you not see the potential that opportunity offers? You won’t be able to move forward until you discover what is holding you back. ‘Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.’ A snare is a trap. And when you begin to see your fears as a trap, you will want to be free from them.

Fifth, don’t wait for opportunity to knock. Opportunity seldom comes knocking; you have to go look for it. Assess your assets, talents, and resources. Doing so will give you a picture of your potential. ‘But I don’t have any special talents,’ you say. Yes, you do. ‘God has also given each of us different gifts to use.’ (Romans 12:6 CEV)

Sixth, take the next step. It’s one thing to notice an opportunity; it’s another to act on it. Somebody once quipped, ‘Everyone has a great idea in the shower. But only a few people step out, dry off, and do something about it.’

Choose the best opportunity you see, pray about it, do the best with it that you can, and keep going until you have done everything possible to make it happen. And when you have done your best—trust God to do the rest. Winston Churchill said, ‘Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities, because... it is the quality which guarantees all others.’ And where does courage come from? God!

The psalmist said, ‘Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.’ (Isaiah 26:4 ESV)

‘Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord.’ Jeremiah 17:7

Second, take action. There is an old saying ‘you can if you will’. Initiators don’t wait for others to motivate them. They know it’s their responsibility to move themselves forward beyond their comfort zone, and they make it a practice. President Theodore Roosevelt said, ‘There is nothing brilliant or outstanding in my record, except perhaps this one thing. I do the things I believe ought to be done. And when I make up my mind to do a thing, I act.’

The Bible says, ‘Trust in the Lord, and do good [take action]; dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.’ (Psalm 37:3 NKJV)

Third, learn from your failures and keep moving forward. The good news for initiators is, they make things happen. The bad news is, they make lots of mistakes along the way. The greater your potential, the greater your chance for failure.

Senator Robert Kennedy said, ‘Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.’ Are you constantly on the lookout for opportunity, or do you wait for it to come to you? Are you willing to pray and take a step of faith, or do you endlessly analyse everything? As former chairman of Chrysler, Lee Iacocca said, ‘Even the correct decision is wrong when it was taken too late.’ When was the last time you initiated something substantial in your life? If you haven’t moved yourself forward out of your comfort zone lately, you might have to jump-start your initiative.

The Bible says, ‘He is your helper and your shield.’ (Psalm 115:11 NLT) That means God will help you to succeed. And when you fail, He will protect and redirect you.

‘Be strong and of good courage, for you must go.’ Deuteronomy 31:7

When God gives you an unconditional promise, all you need to do is wait for it. But when He makes a conditional promise, you have a part to play in its fulfilment. Sometimes that calls for taking the initiative. For Israel, it meant being willing to face opposition and drive the occupying nations from the Promised Land so it could be theirs.

‘Then Moses called Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel, “Be strong and of good courage, for you must go with this people to the land which the Lord has sworn to their fathers to give them, and you shall cause them to inherit it. And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.”’ (Deuteronomy 31:7–8 NKJV)

In essence, God was saying, ‘When you take the initiative, I will act on your behalf.’ And He’s saying the same thing to you today. Here is what it means to take the initiative:

(1) Choosing the next step. Humourist and pianist Oscar Levant once quipped, ‘Once I make up my mind, I’m full of indecision.’ We smile, but sadly that’s the way many of us operate. The fact is, you can’t be indecisive and be effective at the same time.

(2) Being willing to take risks. The difference between a believer and a nonbeliever is this: as a believer, God has promised to go before you and arrange the circumstances in your favour. ‘But I’m afraid!’ you say. Faith in God doesn’t eliminate fear—it overcomes it. So take the initiative.

The Danger Of Rising Too Quickly

Fri, 26 Nov 2021

‘Never be in a hurry about appointing a church leader.’ 1 Timothy 5:22

Before David became the king of Israel, he spent years tending a flock of sheep in the wilderness. That’s not an impressive start. But that’s where he built his relationship with God and honed his skills as a strategist and warrior. If you want to succeed, here is an immutable principle you must understand: God will let you practise in a place where your weaknesses can be worked on, your gifts developed, and where your mistakes won’t affect too many others.

A pilot received word from the control tower saying, ‘You’re cleared for five thousand feet.’ When he got there, he was told to hold for further instructions. Then came the words, ‘You’re cleared for ten thousand feet.’ Gradually the controller took him level by level to thirty-five thousand feet where he was cleared to fly to his destination. That day, God spoke to him saying, ‘I wish you would trust Me like that. Instead, you want to go straight to thirty-five thousand feet in one thrust!’

Try to understand this: God sees the end from the beginning, and He has already mapped out your journey. He knows that if you rise too quickly, there are dangers. You may be in the cockpit—but God is in the control tower! And today He is saying to you, ‘Trust Me and I’ll get you safely to your destination.’ God’s plan for your life can’t be rushed.

When you try to rise too quickly, (1) you make costly and painful mistakes, (2) you adversely affect the lives of those who depend on you, and (3) you end up in a tug-of-war with God, which you lose!

Positioned For God’s Blessing

Thu, 25 Nov 2021

‘And the Lord said, “Here is a place by Me.”’ Exodus 33:21

God told Moses, ‘I will make all My goodness pass before you.’ (Exodus 33:19 NKJV) But in order to see that promise fulfilled, Moses had to be properly positioned, so God said, ‘Here is a place by Me.’ When you function in the place where God has assigned you, you can claim His promise: ‘I will make all My goodness pass before you.’ Why would the Prodigal Son leave his father’s house when everything he needed was there? Because:

(1) He wanted his father’s blessing, but not his oversight. Jesus said, ‘Why do you call Me, “Lord, Lord,” and do not do what I say?’ (Luke 6:46 NIV) Why indeed! Peter Marshall, former chaplain to the US Senate, once prayed: ‘Lord, help us to apply what we applaud.’

(2) He took his father’s blessings for granted. God warned the Israelites: ‘Be careful that you do not forget the Lord, who brought you… out of the land of slavery.’ (Deuteronomy 6:12 NIV) When they crossed the river Jordan, He told them to take twelve stones, one for each tribe, and build a memorial. Why? To remind them of who they were, who He was, and His covenant with them.

(3) He didn’t know the danger waiting for him. As a result, he ended up in a pigpen. The path that takes you away from God may begin with pleasure, but it always ends with pain. Ask those who have walked it, and they’ll tell you, ‘Don’t go there!’

Live by this Scripture: ‘He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.’ (Psalm 91:1 NKJV) Stay positioned for God’s blessing.

The worst a man could do to himself is to be deceitful......been deceitful to one self is so bad.

Don’t Get Ahead Of God!

Wed, 24 Nov 2021

‘In due season He will honour you with every blessing.’ Psalm 37:34

When God gives you a promise or a vision for your life, it’s like a seed; it needs time to take root before it can bear fruit. It’s like the birth of a baby. First conception, then implantation, then pregnancy, and finally the day of delivery. And what do the parents do during this time? Prepare! They get ready for the challenges and responsibilities of parenthood.

You may think you’re ready, but God knows when you’re ready. Though he had already been anointed king, David had to wait about 15 years until God removed Saul from the throne. And during those years he learned valuable lessons. Here is one of them: ‘Don’t be impatient for the Lord to act! Keep travelling steadily along His pathway and in due season He will honour you with every blessing.’ (Psalm 37:34 TLB)

You must learn the difference between what you can do and what God can do. Fools rush in! If you don’t want to risk delaying the fulfilment of God’s plan for your life, don’t get ahead of Him. ‘The vision is yet for the appointed time… it will not fail. Though it delays, wait for it; for it will certainly come.’ (Habakkuk 2:3 KJV) Everything God does is by appointment. And an appointment is simply an event that has already been set. God has scheduled a time for bringing to pass two things in your life: His promises and your vision. And there is great peace in knowing that nothing the enemy does can pre-empt these two things.

So, when you grow impatient, remind yourself, ‘My life can’t end without this happening. God said it, and He will do it!’
