THE IMPOSSIBLE PLACE

The things of the Spirit are spiritually discerned.
The physical mind says the scriptures, cannot understand the things of the Spirit. It takes spirit to understand Spirit. Only a transformed mind can understand him.
The Spirit of God is a He, not an it.
Its a misconception to see the third person in Trinity as a thing!
The place he operates is an impossible place to one who has given himself to the secular.
As many as are led by the Spirit of God are the Sons of God.

Its a place of humility,a place of his glory.
Who shall ascend into the hills of the Lord?
Who shall stand in his holy place?
He that has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted his soul unto vain things!
Its a place of sacrifice. Sacrifice of ego, time and ultimately; self.
Its an impossible place to the one whose soul has been lifted up to vain things.
Let us come down from our high horsebacks and enrol into the school of the Spirit.
Only then can we prove of a surety the mind of our father; God!
Remember! Its an impossible place to him whose soul has been given over to vain things..... Step out of the secular.... Dive into the Spiritual through Jesus...then it becomes a possible place to you.

God bless you as you move into that place!
The place of the HOLY GHOST!

GRAVITY

You can disobey your parents as you want,

Even try to disobey your maker with every opportunity,

But know that you cannot disobey Gravity.

You can be from the greatest dynasty,

Commanding words of authority,

But know that you are subjected to Gravity.

You can be as proud as Nebuchadnezzar,

Commanding death sentences through Melzar,

But know that you could be held Six feet below by Gravity.

Oh! You are a scientist or an Inventor,

Devising means to counter nature,

Then, invent something to keep you up forever without descending to Gravity!

You spend sleepless nights getting the dx and dy,

Yet not able to fully explain why,

Know that you are dealing with Gravity.

You may say it’s a big embedded magnet,

Or that it’s an invisible force field,

But I’ll tell you it’s the mighty work of God.

Or what do you think?

Good morning...

NO MORE DILLY-DALLIES

What are you living for?

What exactly is your destiny here on earth?

Why do you think ‘of the over one million cells, you were the only one whose half made it through to your other half in your mother’s womb’?

If you can’t readily answer these questions at this time, then going to the maker to inquire why he created you would be an urgent and paramount need.

Living without a purpose or a vision is the worst thing that could happen to a living creature! Worse still; one created in the image of God! It is said “you cannot hit a target that you cannot see”

Let us briefly see ‘Time and Achievements’ from the biblical standpoint: “Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise” (Prov. 6:6). According to the oxford dictionary, a sluggard is somebody who is slow and lazy. Now get this, one might not be literally or physically slow before such would be called a sluggard. Not moving through life with a vision is sluggardly as well as boycotting responsibilities. A little study of ants would show that they never tire. When last did you see an ant asleep? (You need rest though! You’re not an ant). Even if their one mission is to survive by providing food for themselves, they do it with zeal and determination, never erring from their vision. Place an obstacle before them and they’ll climb right over it- oblivious to even you- and continue their journey because they have a mission and a target. Study has shown that an ant can carry an object over five times its size, what a feat! Come to think of it, not a human builds the anthills you see around. The ants are orderly when moving, even without a commander. They strategize for one reason: the knowledge of the fact that if they don’t meet their target; getting food during the rainy season, they’ll suffer for it all through the dry season. The nursery rhyme- “Tick! Says the clock, Tick! Tick! What you have to do, do quick!”-might not have had a thrilling meaning when read in nursery school, but it sure does now.

Whatever your mission is anywhere you find yourself, never delay in executing it. Don’t just sit there allowing time to pass, rather pass time and wait for it at the finish line. You’re not too young to cause a change in your location; Joash was only seven when he began to reign as king (2Chron. 24:1). Don’t say you’re in your still in your early twenties, it’s too early to step out on the platform; Zedekiah was twenty one when he stepped into the throne (Jer. 52:1).

Don’t think of being too late or too old to achieve that dream of yours; Father Abraham was a hundred years old when Isaac was born unto him (Gen. 21:5). Do you want to start up a small or large scale business? Then START! Do you want to bag a first class degree? C’mon! STUDY hard and depend on GOD! Do you want to evangelize? GET OUT there and do it! Do you want to take over the world for Jesus? Come out and exercise DOMINION! No more dilly-dallying (Rom. 8:19), let us take charge of our horizon as Ambassadors of Christ, doing what Jesus Would Do!

God Bless You,

Onwuka Ikpa

WORD OF PRAYER

When in my life all odds compel
When my weary eyes close in tears
When I struggle and tear shreds
When within me I want to conquer

When I slowly move like an eel
When through and through upright stand my hairs
When my worry is so much I can't bear
When I am left in the dark to ponder

When in my spirit there's nothing to propel
When all I do is live in fear
When all oppress and there's no one to care
When I am in need of an answer

When all the joy in me expels
When I listen for good tidings with puckered ears
When I am pushed so far to the rear
Then what I really need is a word of prayer

SEARCH OUT THE GOOD IN EVERYONE

“The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy; yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.

And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none”

- Ezekiel 22: 29-30

The above verses are usually referred to when talking about God’s search for intercessors. But as I read this again, I got a fresh understanding of God’s love for man. It is a truth that every word of God to man reflects his love in its entirety one way or the other. In the text above, the people had sinned against God and he had every right to wipe them out, he would be right if he destroyed them. It would be justice if he punished them severely for what they had done. The depth of their sins was very much. But instead, God went further to search for a man who would make up the hedge, who would serve as an ambassador and plead for them that he would not destroy them. Now notice that God did not search for this man from a different nation or people, he “sought for a man among them”.

Now you would also want to consider why God still had to search for someone in the midst of these ‘sinful’ people. He was not happy with them, but he still believed something good could come out of them. Even if at the end of the search he found none, he at least made an attempt to search for an iota of good among them. God doesn’t just leave us like that; he doesn’t give up on us for any reason. In fact we are the ones who give up on ourselves and on others, even while God still searches for the good in us.

How do we relate with others as Christians? How do you see that drunkard that lives at your back yard? What do you say of that prostitute down your street? Have you already marked them for hell? Have you started visualizing them burning in the lake of fire even when they are still on earth? 2Peter 3:9 says: “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance”. If God can be longsuffering, not willing that any should perish, if he still searches for a good man in the midst of a perverse and corrupt nation, what stops us from doing the same?

No matter how dark the cloud is, there is always a beam of sunlight behind it. Search out that sunlight. Believe me there is good in every man. Before condemning any person, why not at least present a solution to such a person; Jesus is the way. Your criticism is not, your self-righteousness is not, and your track record is not. Let us learn to search out the image of God in every man and by doing this, we are at least moving forward in our mandate to be perfect just like our father; God.

Have a nice day!

GOD SENT A TEXT!

How do you feel when you receive a letter or a text from a good friend? I bet it feels lovely and cozy!
Without such communication links it would be difficult to maintain the friendship.
God himself saw the need and started planning towards sending me a text...all the courses of nature were added to this text! As time progressed, there was war against this writ even as there is today. But it has always prevailed because it was compiled by the Ancient of Days!

In this text he told me of his unquenchable love for me! Wow!!! What would make one send his only son to die for me to be free from condemnation!
I kept the text because I cherish it a lot.
When I went out, I discovered he sent the text to many people too, but just very few take it serious!

The Bible! The infallible Word! The Text!

Have a nice day!

Love Swap

God gave us people to love and things to use. Do not join the world in reversing this principle, using people and loving things.

Its an error of our generation the way people treat each other. Sometimes like animals. Not having any iota of compassion towards them. People rather give the lives of others than give up their material things. These things should not be so.
Let us correct the love swap and get back to the way God created us to be.
It is well!
