ANCHOR SCRIPTURE

UN-FORFEIT LOVE THAT PRODUCES REST TO OUR COMPANIONS

I grew up in an environment where love was hard to fetch, where peace was glitched to touch, where good communication has no proper signals to tap into the desired frequencies of the beauty of relationship, A place where identity is hidden with sorrow, a place where dreams glow fade into fantasies, a place where the walls of God were hard to repair. I tried all I could with my personal efforts and strategies but all was a fuel gasing up the environment.

I asked myself where am I? Why am I here? Why was I born? Why was I born in this environment, instead in the calm and still environment? Is this a punishment?

These questions were out of frustration, out of pain and out of confusion but God used them for my good, because at that moment I couldn’t discern the sense of purpose, vision and assignment.

Sin and disobediences abounded much more and more, ungodliness, idol worship and evil enchantments, such that the presence of God was so hard to fetch. Every man walked in their own ways but not the ways of God.

All hard one thing in common, they had same like minded and purpose, but a grief was felt in the depths of my heart. I knew so much was not right, but I didn’t know how to fix that.

My soul became more restless, having nightmares, spiriual evil attacks, the arrows flying in the day, morning and night flying towards me, life was so bitter, sickness, the fear of unknown, the afflictions and the witchcraft oppressions in my body, yet there was no man to deliver me.

I then began to think differently and to do things differently, to live a lifestyle that is different from every laid family lifestyle and leadership structure. I knew that I can do through God’s strength.

I shared my dreams with my compassions and families, they didn’t believe in me.

Then death came in my family, every after three months, people in the family were dying, from the great to small, mysteriously, my mother was the first one to pass on mysteriously by Evil oppression and bewitchments.

I felt left alone but I was not alone, mom left me with one thing special thing, The Bible. I found a verse saying I will not leave you orphans, I will come to you, that was my first experience of God’s love for me, but I needed to also come out of a sinful life and follow the path of the Lord, denying self and that the wages to my sinful life is death.

I didn’t want to die in my sins but in righteousness, on the other hand, I did not know how to be rescued from death and have eternal life in me.

Then one day my friend who is deaf, invited me for a crusade where John 3:14-17 clearly explained by Pastor Farayi from south Africa.

We then, were given a privilege to receive Christ and His ultimate eternal life. As I finished the confession, a light shown on my face, then I fell as dead, then I was helped to get up, I felt so knew and reliefed.

This was a freedom from the evil oppressions, then I was disown by my family, Because I chose Jesus Christ over family culture, leadership and wrong lifestyle.

After that, Jesus Christ said go to the place I will show you, although there have not your relatives, for I’m setting you apart for my purposes.

Then after two years, He sent be back to minister to my family and to declare the salvation, glory, power, honor and kingdom of our God and the Jesus Christ.

Deliverance, healings happened when we all obeyed the commands and the ways of God.

The sick, death oppressions and the confusions came to an end, life reigns, peace reigns and love reigns.

A LESSON LEARN IN MY EXPERIENCE

LEAVING NO BODY BEHIND

The mistakes we could ever make is to leaving everybody behind, yes there is a place of separation because God wants to to Change your life, so you can make the difference in the lives of others also.

Always God want your family and your friends not to be left alone, we need to be the priests of our families and kings in the society, commanding the atmosphere to submit to the kingdom and to the will of God.

It may be a little bit more hard to do so, but God gives us grace, yes you may say, I tried to help them to get changed but none of them got changed. I once also did that, I saw it in that way. However when I was sent by Him to preach to my family, the word become more effective in their lives.

They may not hear the words you preach but they can’t resist the prayers you offer for them before God. Read Proverbs 21:1 Our hearts are in the hand of the Lord,He can lead them where He wants.

What is it that you struggle with? What do you use to struggle with? Have you found the rest you wanted or you needed?

What oppression, affliction and challenges your family is going through? Your obedience to God will bring salvation, glory, honor and power to your family.

GOD’S UN-FORFEIT PROMISES

A LESSON LEARNT

God’s promises towards us are un-forfeit promises. I mean, His promises are ever true. God stands faithful to His promises and He never breaks them.

His name is Faithful, so are His words, ways, thoughts and decrees faithful. Although we might have go through fire, barrier, discomforting moments, painful moments, He remains faith until now, He always show up, He knows how to fix our challenges, He knows how to heal us, how to deliver us and how to restore us.

We might experience a prolonged trauma, delay, discouraging moments, but that does not change the fact that He knows what we go through, He knows, but we must understand that in His fullness of time, He shows up with all the solutions we needed and He gives us a deep rest from all our troubles.

He restores us from all the chaotic moments. The children of Israel went through a huge traumatic moments but God didn’t for sake them.

God stood for His promises and gave all a common blessing, yet uncommon to our nevers, He gave them an equal blessing, equal land, because there is no partiality with Him.

HOW TO WALK IN THE PROMISES OF GOD.

1. Believe in everything He says. We should never come to doubt His ultimate provision, healing, deliverance and restoration us no matter how delayed it looks likes. Our timeline, our ways and thoughts are not His, He clearly knows His best, and how He does things from His point of view. We should never measure God’s strength or abilities to do from the perspective of how long we had suffered or waited but is plans and will for us. Hebrews 11:6 says “Without faith, it is impossible to please God, and everyone who comes to God, must believe that, He is a rewarder of those who deligence seek Him. We need to always believe in Him, we shouldn’t question His integrity or Character, but trust Him with all our hearts.
2. Always do as He commands or asking you to do. There are times when we want or we do things out own way and not God’s way. We do things how we feel and think but not how God commands us, this brings about delay in doing His promises to us.
3. Avoid sin, sin is one of the most evil instrument that Satan uses to amputate people’s destiny and God’s divine promises in one’s life, 1 John 1:9 tells us to confess and God will forgive us.
4. Walk in steadfast in perseverance, most of the times we would rather seek for a shortcut than His process, this keeps us in a constant unending cycles of delay.
5. Have a right response in every situation, do not complain or mummer but instead, respond in faith towards every situation.
6. Build a preyer life, by doing so you know His will, intents, purpose, timeline and location of His blessing and promises.
7. Create a relationship with Him, by doing so you will be filled with a knowledge of His will in all manner of wisdom and spiriual understanding, that you may work worth of the Lord and fully pleasing Him.
8. Read scripturs according to the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
9. Claim for His promises, don’t just wait for the promises.

The Bible records that none of the promises that God made to the children of Israel fail. All were fulfilled, this is the message from God to us , despite our daily challenges and circumstances, that we go through, they never define God’s position in our lives , but instead they prove His faithfulness.

The problems you experience they never abort God’s promises for your life and God is faithful to do all that He promises to you.

The enemy is so cunning to make you think as though none of all the words and promises that God says to is will fail, as if nothing, completely nothing will happen in our lives.

TRUSTING HIS UNFAILING WORDS

Situations that we undergo daily they reveal how much we trust God’s words. Before we experience or have any bad encounter, God’s faithfulness is shown in this, He gives us a word of promise before , so we may be known of how much we trust in Him.
