TWS- THE WAITING PLACE

What do you do when all that you have laboured to build gradually fizzle before you?
What do you do when you do all you know how to do, and it just seems not to be working out?
What do you do when you see yourself within touching distance of victory and success, only to see yourself fall back to square one?
What do you do when life happens?

My friends, there are times when every proven method seem to fail. There are even times when your friends will be far away, your connections will fail and even family will leave you to your peril. There are also times when you come to your wits end and it seems like you have no more strength left to carry on. These are times when it is like the only option left is to throw in the towel. My friends, those are times when life happens.
It could be that as you are reading this, you are already at that point when you are considering giving up on liferathon. It could even be that you have written that suicide note, and about to take the pill, kick the stool or maybe pull the trigger. Then this is good news coming your way.
I want to recommend a place for you. I choose to call it REHAB. It is a place where weakness is exchanged for strength, hopeless situations receive hope and death is replaced with life. Here, all you lost will be restored. It is a place of waiting.

He’s the one who gives might to the faint, renewing strength for the powerless. Even boys grow tired and weary, and young men collapse and fall, but those who keep waiting for the Lord will renew their strength. Then they’ll soar on wings like eagles; they’ll run and not grow weary; they’ll walk and not grow tired.
Isa. 40:28 (ISV).

Welcome to REHAB.

Stay blessed.

WWF- God’s Word Always Works contd.

James 1:4
AMP:
But let endurance and steadfastness and patience have full play and do a thorough work, so that you may be [people] perfectly and fully developed [with no defects], lacking in nothing.

You need to walk yourself into an even and open place and stand and stay there, for the Sun of Righteousness to always shine down on you. Yield your total self to God’s Spirit to bring you to this place of truth. John 16:13. And start running God’s word program on the RAM of your brain (your mind) 24/7, irrespective of any other thing you may be doing.

You may think, But that’s not possible. I tell you, It is.

If you determine to do it by the help of the Holy Spirit, the Anointing that teaches us God’s word, it won’t be long when your mind and your brain will adjust to that. Just start by making a simple prayer to God, with a heart full of faith towards Him.

Psalm 4:3-5
KJV:
But know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the Lord will hear when I call unto him.
Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah. Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the Lord.

Also set your mind that you want to make this all for ‘Jesus-ish’ reason, without any trace of selfish reason/hidden agenda, unlike some people that try to use God for their selfishness. When you work at making it all ‘Jesus-ishness’, a memory slot will be created in your brain for the times to come, as to always put you under check. So that you don’t get carried away by reason of great results you witness in your life. Please, make all you do ‘Jesus-ish’ always.

Give it a leap of faith today, and start working constantly in the supernatural, which is God’s mind for everyone in Christ Jesus. John 14:12. And though at the beginning, the devil will come to tell you in the thoughts of your mind and hearing of your ears, “This can’t work, you see.” Just be quick to laugh out at him “Hahahaha”, and reply him, “I know you are a liar. This is surely working and it shall work for me graciously. So, I resist you in Jesus Christ’s Name. Be gone from me.” And he will leave you alone. But he doesn’t give up on one trial. So be ready in the Holy Spirit to talk back to him again with the boldness of our Lord Jesus Christ any other time he shows up. And don’t be tired, nor be afraid, of talking out loud to him resistively and authoritatively.

The creations await your manifestation as offsprings of God. Romans 8:19. There is a move of the display of God’s kingdom power going on in this end time like never before. Be part of it!

Have a blessed month!

TWS-LIFERATHON

I have said earlier in this series that life is a race, a marathon race at that. If life then is a race, it therefore connotes that we are athletes. Also remember I said the rules here are different from the first hurdle you passed. In the race before you came to earth, your victory was dependent on the inability of others to reach the mark before you. But in Liferathon, you are solely responsible for the outcome.

As I looked into some marathon racers that wrote their names in the sand of time, I noticed a commonality, which will take us closer to the main theme of this series.

I noticed that in a marathon race, you do not need to attack the race with all your strength at the beginning. You can run at a steady pace and at the same time keep a close distance with other athletes. As the race progresses, you gradually increase momentum.

Let me say this to you today; your starting might be slow, but it does not mean you cannot win. All you need to do is gradually increase your momentum, with time, you will have the victory. Quitting the race should never be an option to consider. If you are considering that now, I will plead with you to stay with me till the end of this series. I am trusting God that you will definitely receive strength to get to the finish line of this Liferathon.

Stay blessed.
And a happy new month to you

M&M- Gifts pt 2

THE GIFTS OF HEALING

This gift was seen many times in the new testament and it is one gift I would not spend much time on because we have seen it in operations too in our days. Many people are very conversant with this particular gift.

But one thing I would love to call to our notice is the fact that it is the GIFTS and not GIFT of healings and I believe the reason for this is simply because of the fact that different people can be afflicted differently. However it doesn’t take more power of God to cure a cancer than it takes to end a headache. It is the self same sweet Holy Spirit at work, that same power that resurrected Christ from the grave. We are the ones that have a huge picture of sicknesses painted in our minds, God is able to heal any of them at any time if we would dare to stand in our authority and pray in the name of Jesus.

You would see this gift manifested through you as you exercise your authority today in Jesus name, amen.

THE WORKING OF MIRACLES

This gift is similar and different from the gifts of healings. Did I just say that? Okay to avoid confusion, let me differentiate them now.

Where the gifts of healings is someone having a tumor on the leg and by laying of hands tumor disappears, the working of miracles is when someone doesn’t have any leg at all and a new leg grows out. 

You get?

Like I have had a stomach ache twice already in the course of this study, I just laid hands and commanded the stomach to be well, and the last one just went. I wonder why these little imps won’t just go and rest.

…..that wasn’t an example of working of miracles please.

The working of miracles also goes beyond the human body as does healings, like when we saw Christ feed the 5,000 people in John 6:10-13, it was working of miracle. In verse 14 it says that when they have seen the MIRACLE that Jesus did……

When you make an axe head to float or go get money from the mouth of a fish, those are miracles at work.

THE GIFT OF FAITH

People call this the gift of special faith, I call it the gift of faith. You need faith for anything to work in your walk with God. Your very salvation is by faith and this is where many believers have missed it.

They don’t know how to be in faith, they are spiritual(faith) beings that operate by their feelings(flesh) how would that produce any results?

This gift of faith however helps to receive. It seems passive in a way, but as I said ALL these gifts are resident in every believer because we do not carry the gifts, we carry the Spirit that gives the gifts, He is the only anointing Christ got to do all He did on this earth and when He was going He promised us that we would do greater as He sends the Spirit to us John 14:12.

Someone would ask, but how can I do more than Christ Jesus? It is a reality you had better believed it, Jesus said it HIMSELF.

These gifts intertwine too as you might manifest the gift of faith and gifts of healing at the same time and the result is someone getting free from sickness, it glorifies God.

This discussion continues next Friday, be a part, drop your questions in the comment section or send a mail to christapoet@gmail.com and get set to enter into a magnificient era of your christian life.
Grace and Peace.
