Learning from Moses (4)

Tue, 27 Oct 2020

‘He persevered because he saw Him who is invisible.’ Hebrews 11:27 NIV

Fourth: you must persevere when life gets difficult. You could sum up the life of Moses in these two words: ‘He persevered.’ It’s a fact of life that there’s no gain without pain, no advancement without adversity, and no progress without problems. Moses understood that difficulties come into every life, and he knew how to respond to them correctly and move on. And we must learn to do that too.

As followers of Christ, we should never let problems defeat us; instead, we should let them draw us closer to God. Someone has said that we should never let problems get us down—except down on our knees to pray! God allows specific situations in our lives to bring growth. And without perseverance we won’t get very far.

Notice these words: ‘By faith… he persevered.’ Faith in what? Faith in whom? Faith in God! We’re not talking here about some white-knuckled, flesh-based form of self-help. No, we’re talking about the fact that, when God calls you to do a job, He equips and empowers you. He goes ahead of you and provides everything you need.

When you say yes to His plan for your life, you can stand on this promise: ‘We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.’ (Romans 8:28 NIV)

So you must

(a) know who you are;

(b) take responsibility for your life;

(c) determine your priorities; and

(d) persevere when life gets difficult.

If you abide by these four Bible truths, you will live a life that is truly blessed by God.

Your comments is more valuable than one stupid old man coming out to tell us that "he still remain the Jagaban of Lagos".
Who Jagaban epp?

Awon werey agbalagba!

Learning from Moses (3)

Mon, 26 Oct 2020

‘He was looking ahead to his reward.’ Hebrews 11:26 NIV

Third: you must determine your priorities. ‘He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward.’ Much of the world’s wealth during that time was stored in Egypt. So Moses already had what most people spend their lives trying to get: popularity, pleasure, and possessions. Yet God asked him to do something that was more important—and he did it.

It was a matter of priorities. Moses could easily have rationalised, ‘The slave situation is bad, so I’ll stay in the system and work for reform.’ Most of us want to be liked, but there’s one big problem with popularity: it never lasts. You can be the big name on campus for a while, but when you return a few years after graduation, you’ll likely find that nobody thinks you’re special anymore. Then there’s pleasure. Is pleasure wrong? It isn’t wrong unless it’s sinful.

Then there are possessions. There’s nothing wrong with material success. Some of the greatest people in the Bible were extremely wealthy, including Abraham and Solomon. But Jesus said, ‘Life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.’ (Luke 12:15 NIV) Ultimately wealth doesn’t bring happiness. Ask the people who have it, ‘How much money does it take to be happy?’ Answer: ‘Just a little bit more!’

Money is to be used—not loved! God wants us to use things and love people. But if we love things we’ll end up using people. Moses had his priorities right; he devalued material things because there was something more important in his life—namely, God’s will!

Learning from Moses (2)

Sun, 25 Oct 2020

‘He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God.’ Hebrews 11:25 NIV

Second: you must take responsibility for your life. ‘Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin.’ (Hebrews 11:24–25 NIV) First, Moses refused to be anyone but himself. Next, he chose to go God’s way. The principle here is that you can always replace a negative with a positive. You don’t just stop doing something—you start doing something else. The Christian life isn’t a matter of negative rules and regulations. It’s a matter of relationships—with God, with other people, and with yourself.

Notice, Moses made his decision ‘when he had grown up.’ It’s a mark of maturity when you can settle the issue of personal responsibility. When Moses was a baby, it was ok to postpone the decision about who he was. But when he became an adult he had to make a choice, assume responsibility for his own life, and move ahead.

It’s always easy to blame others: ‘I’d go God’s way if my boyfriend or girlfriend, mother or father, husband or wife, would do it too.’ Or, ‘I’d be a better person today if I had better parents.’ You can’t choose all the circumstances that come into your life, but you can choose whether those things will make you a bitter person or a better person. Ultimately no one can ruin your life except you! The devil can’t, because he doesn’t have enough power—and God won’t, because He loves you. So choose to go God’s way!

Learning from Moses (1)

‘Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter.’ Hebrews 11:24 NIV

The life of Moses reveals four issues you must come to grips with in order to succeed in life. First: you must know who you are. ‘Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter.’ Moses was born a Hebrew, but he was raised as an Egyptian by Pharaoh’s daughter. Even though he was being groomed as a prince in Pharaoh’s kingdom, Moses knew God had called him to free his people and lead them out of Egypt. So, he had to make a choice: ‘What am I going to do with my life? I’m not who these people think I am.’ Moses had every comfort he could wish for in the palace, and he could have stayed there.

What would you have done? Moses made the right decision, but it meant spending the next eighty years of his life in the desert. Every one of us must come to grips with our identity. We all have a deep need and desire to accept who we are. Trying to be who we’re not is a quick way to get an ulcer, because it puts us under so much pressure. Moses recognised this tension, and decided to stop pretending. It’s liberating when we stop trying to be somebody we’re not, and accept God’s plan for our life.

How would we remember Moses today if he had stayed in Pharaoh’s court? Maybe as an Egyptian mummy in some museum—or maybe not at all. But he made the hard decision, and in the light of eternity it was the best one. Learn from him!

Leave The Judging To The Judge (2)

Fri, 23 Oct 2020

‘In the same way you judge others, you will be judged.’ Matthew 7:2 NIV

If you’re the one doing the judging, remember this timeless principle: what goes around comes around. Jesus said, ‘Do not judge… For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.’ (Matthew 7:1–2 NIV) It’s called the law of reciprocity. It guarantees you will get back what you give. It’s not a threat; it’s an immutable law, just like gravity.

You say, ‘I’m honest; I just tell it like it is. Besides, that person’s sin needs to be exposed!’ It’s not about your honesty or their sin, it’s about God’s Word that forbids judging with hypocrisy or condemnation. You may be right and they may be wrong, but judging in a condemning, hypocritical way puts you in violation of Scripture. Plus it sets you up to be judged.

Question: what if the other person has already repented, confessed their sin, and received God’s forgiveness? Think about it: the worst kind of judging is condemning sins God has already forgiven and forgotten (see Isaiah 43:25). When we judge hypocritically, we’re looking in the wrong direction. We’re avoiding what we don’t want to see—our own shortcomings. Jesus said, ‘Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?’ (Matthew 7:3 NIV) Whatever their ‘speck’ is, it’s God’s business—not yours. Your ‘plank’ is your business!

Jesus also said, ‘They are blessed who show mercy to others, for God will show mercy to them.’ (Matthew 5:7 NCV) Instead of condemning others, start investing in your own ‘mercy account’. You’ll need it soon enough.

.......but some powerful people if not the government themselves activated the thugs/hoodlums to counter the peaceful protesters.

Leave The Judging To The Judge (1)

Thu, 22 Oct 2020

‘Judge nothing before the appointed time.’ 1 Corinthians 4:5 NIV

Judging others is like breathing—it comes naturally. And sometimes the worst critics are Christians who use Scripture as their weapon of choice. So if you’re the one being judged, try to remember these four things:

(1) Show humility. If you’re guilty, admit it to God, yourself, and the appropriate others. Confession brings honesty and spiritual growth (see 1 John 1:9).

(2) Know your Bible. Satan took Scriptures out of context to try to trap Jesus, but Jesus knew the context so He didn’t fall for it (see Luke 4:1–13). When the Bible is taken out of context, remember God isn’t aiming at you. And when you’re rightly judged by God’s Word, don’t despair; it doesn’t mean He’s mad at you. He loves you—just as you love your children even when they disobey, and use their actions as ‘teaching moments’ to develop them. ‘The Lord disciplines the one He loves, and… chastens everyone He accepts as His son.’ (Hebrews 12:6 NIV)

(3) Don’t be goaded into trying to defend yourself. Judgmental people aren’t interested in facts—they just want to feel good by making you feel bad. Pick your battles wisely, and don’t waste time on the unimportant. Here’s how Paul responded to his critics: ‘I care very little if I am judged by you or… any human court.’ (1 Corinthians 4:3 NIV)

(4) Don’t volunteer for the jury. If God doesn’t find you guilty, don’t judge yourself. Follow Paul’s example: ‘Indeed, I do not even judge myself.’ (1 Corinthians 4:3 NIV) If you’re wrong, confess it, and by God’s grace correct it. Then make up your mind to live your life free from condemnation.

Be Careful Who You Listen To

Wed, 21 Oct 2020

‘The Lord gives wisdom.’ Proverbs 2:6 NKJV

What are the people in your life telling you? Are they increasing your self-doubt or strengthening your faith? Just because people tell you something doesn’t make it so. In 1492 many of the people Columbus tried to interest in his venture thought the earth was flat. And even those who believed it was round thought his idea of a short-cut to the Indies was far-fetched. The ‘experts’ examined his travel plans and said they were impossible. But Columbus didn’t fall off the edge of the earth as the doomsayers predicted—instead, he discovered America!

Along the same lines, Alexander Graham Bell tried to interest the communications company Western Union in his invention, the telephone. But they regarded it as having too many limitations and being little more than a toy. Even after John Logie Baird had demonstrated the capabilities of the first television set, a leading radio pioneer said it was ‘a development of which we need waste little time dreaming.’

There will always be naysayers, so don’t let someone else’s limited thinking squash you and restrict your thinking. Negativity is contagious; you have to be careful if you don’t want to catch it! Even if you’re the only positive person in your family, maintain an optimistic outlook in every situation. What we call ‘common knowledge’ often is commonly wrong!

‘The Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.’ (Proverbs 2:6 NKJV) Have the people who are telling you ‘it can’t be done’ factored God into the equation? If not, pay no attention. Instead of listening to people who increase your doubts, listen to the people to whom God has given wisdom, knowledge, and understanding.

Love What You Do

Tue, 20 Oct 2020

‘Do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men.’ Colossians 3:23 NASB

You will know that your job is your ‘calling’ when you do what you love, and love what you do. Philanthropist and industrialist Andrew Carnegie said: ‘The average person puts only 25 per cent of their energy and ability into their work. The world takes off its hat to those who put in more than 50 per cent, and stands on its head for those few and far-between souls who devote 100 per cent.’

Thomas Edison loved work. In his latter years he established Menlo Park, the world’s first factory for making nothing but inventions. It was a forerunner to the private research laboratories now maintained by so many large companies. At Menlo Park Edison promised to turn out ‘a minor invention every ten days, and a big thing every six months or so’. At one point he was working on forty-seven things at once. Other inventors may have been richer, but no inventor has ever been more enthusiastic or successful.

When you believe that what you do makes a difference, you have a different feeling about what you do. When you believe your job has worth in God’s eyes, you’re no longer vulnerable to the critics or dependent upon the cheerleaders. Paul said, ‘I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me.’ (Acts 20:24 NIV)

One of the last prayers Jesus prayed was, ‘I have brought You glory on earth by finishing the work You gave Me to do.’ (John 17:4 NIV) If you are serious about pleasing God, make that your prayer too.

Always Carry A Book With You

Mon, 19 Oct 2020

‘Give attention to reading.’ 1 Timothy 4:13 NKJV

What you read and study is what you become. When you carry the right books with you, you maintain a continuous flow of truth and information into your heart and mind.

(1) Reading discourages unproductive conversation. You should always be ready to share your faith and minister to the needs of others. But have you ever sat beside someone who couldn’t stop talking? Many times people who love to talk don’t require anything significant to energise them. They talk just to avoid silence; when you keep a book handy, it solves that problem.

(2) Keep a list of books you want to read each month. This prevents unwise selections in moments of boredom, temptation, or fatigue. At the beginning of each year, select fifty-two books you’d like to read by the end of the year—one per week. Reading twenty pages a day will take you through a 140-page book every week.

(3) Carry books when you travel. When you’re away from the busyness of your daily schedule, you can withdraw into your own private world: you can dream, focus, and plan. In mentoring Timothy, Paul wrote: ‘Give attention to reading… Do not neglect the gift that is in you… Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all.’ (1 Timothy 4:13–15 NKJV)

The first book you should read is your Bible—and it’s also the one you should read most. But read other books too, because God is the source of all true wisdom and knowledge. To quote Solomon: ‘Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.’ (Proverbs 4:7 NKJV)

Learn To Think ‘Right’

Sun, 18 Oct 2020

‘The thoughts of the righteous are right.’ Proverbs 12:5 NKJV

Your mind can work for you or against you. When it works for you, it helps you to stay positive, reach your goals, and enjoy each day. But when it works against you, it can make you negative and discouraged, hold you back, and cause you to think thoughts that result in self-sabotage. So teach your mind to work for you instead of against you.

An important way to do this is to make an intentional decision that you’ll begin to think positively—in terms of faith and not fear. Now, your brain won’t be able to fulfil this new role overnight. You may be asking it to undergo a radical transformation, and that takes time. But determine that with your diligence and God’s help, instead of working against you, your brain will go to work for you and become a positive force in your life.

Dr Caroline Leaf, a cognitive neuroscientist, points out that the brain takes decades to grow, and a lifetime to mature. Don’t miss this point! While every organ in your body was fully formed when you were born and got bigger as your body grew, your brain actually takes a full twenty-five years to grow. And once it’s fully formed, it continues to mature until the day you die. That means no matter how old you are, your brain is still growing. This is great news, because it means you don’t have to stay stuck in old or wrong thought patterns. Your brain is still maturing, which means you can still improve in your thinking.

As the Bible says, ‘The thoughts of the righteous are right.’

What?

Akin Fakorede is certainly a family man with kids I supposed. How come he find it easy to kill other people's kids?

I respected Morayo than this rubbish. Anyway, God knows all that is hidden.

If I say I'm surprised. It is a lie. Ask Jumoke what happened to her.

Laugh More!

Sat, 17 Oct 2020

‘We were filled with laughter, and we sang for joy.’ Psalm 126:2 NLT

God created every human emotion you feel. He designed you to cry when you are sad and laugh when you are happy: ‘For everything there is a season… A time to cry and a time to laugh.’ (Ecclesiastes 3:1, 4 NLT)

Jesus said, ‘These things have I spoken unto you, that My joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.’ (John 15:11 KJV) Question: how often do you laugh? Doctors say laughter has incredible healing effects on your body. It also has incredible healing effects on your mind and soul. Stop and think about the days you laughed, even though you really didn’t have anything to laugh about. You were far from God and bound by sinful habits, but He set you free, didn’t He?

In the Old Testament we read: ‘When the Lord brought back His exiles to Jerusalem, it was like a dream! We were filled with laughter and we sang for joy… And the other nations said, “What amazing things the Lord has done for them.” Yes, the Lord has done amazing things for us! What joy!’ (Psalm 126:1–3 NLT)

If God has set you free, then you truly have something to laugh about. Stop being so ‘heavy’ about everything! Expecting perfection from yourself; your slow growth in God; your deficient prayer life; your failure to memorise more Scripture verses; your fear of sharing your faith with others, etc. We carry around such heavy burdens. If you’re ‘laughter impaired’ you may have to work at it. It’s easy to find plenty to worry about, but to be happy, you sometimes need to work at it a little.

So the word for today is—laugh more!

Blue3k:
No it's illegal to block the roads. When they caught they should be arrested and charged accordingly. They can practice civil disobedience if they want but there's consequences. They don't own the street so they cant block it.

Who you dey work for? Come unblock any road that is blocking then, then you will know that Buhari is not from Ghana?

Stop ‘Awfulising’!

Fri, 16 Oct 2020

‘Do not worry.’ Matthew 6:31 NIV

No matter what happens in life, try to keep things in perspective. When you don’t, you end up viewing minor problems as major ones. Or you do the opposite, treating significant situations as ‘no big deal’. Either tendency—‘awfulising’ or ‘minimising’—leads to problems. So do your best to see things as they really are and don’t let them get blown out of proportion. Develop the habit of looking at the big picture, instead of dwelling on the one issue that’s upsetting you.

Thinking excessively about your problems makes them appear larger than they really are. When you run up against a situation that upsets you, deal with the panic before you try to deal with the problem. Sit down quietly, calm yourself, and take time to purposely recall the good things you enjoy also. The truth is, worry never goes away. When you resolve one issue, another one is waiting to take its place. It’s a fact of life; you can’t change it. So what should you do? Change your perspective! Instead of focusing on your worries, factor God into the equation. Has He ever failed you? No, and He never will! The grace of God that sustained and brought you through the last worrisome situation will be with you in this one—and the next one!

Notice what Jesus said about the things we worry over most: ‘Do not worry, saying, “What shall we eat?” or “What shall we drink?” or “What shall we wear?”… For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.’ (Matthew 6:31–33 NKJV)

See them. Backwardness people.

I don't understand?



Maybe #Endsars protesters will understand better. Let me invite them.

Try Bird Watching!

Thu, 15 Oct 2020

‘Look at the birds.’ Matthew 6:26 NLT

You may not like the political party that’s in power, but you’re much better off than the Jewish people Jesus was speaking to here. Their country was occupied by the Romans, and they paid extortionate taxes to keep them in power. They lived as slaves—so they worried a lot. Then Jesus came along and said: ‘Look at the birds. They don’t plant… harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to Him than they are? Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?’ (Matthew 6:26–27 NLT)

In other words, if you worry a lot—try bird watching! Birds don’t know where their next meal is coming from, yet you never see one sitting on a branch having an anxiety attack. So here’s the question: ‘Aren’t you far more valuable to God than they are?’

A man who was out of work, despondent, and worried about feeding his family noticed some birds eating strawberry shortcake from a bin. All at once it dawned on him—‘If God can feed the birds strawberry shortcake, surely He can take care of me too!’

Even if you suffer from a poor self-image and think you’re not worth taking care of, aren’t you still more valuable than a bird? So look at how well your heavenly Father takes care of them, and remind yourself that He will take care of you too. If anxiety is robbing you of happiness during the day and sleep at night, make up your mind to live by this Scripture: ‘Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you.’ (1 Peter 5:7 NLT)
