EYE OPENERS - God’s Love for you is Consistent

Based on my post last week, I trust that you have seen from God’s word that God’s commitment to you is beyond you doing good or bad? Yes I really sincerely believe you have seen it. If you missed last week’s post, click here to read it. Today on eye openers, I’ll like to show you something about God’s love for and that is its CONSISTENCY. 

Let me show you one more scripture: “… having loved his own who were in the world, he now showed them the full extent of his love” Jn.13:1b (NIV) I love the way KJV put the latter part. It says: ‘… he loved them unto the end’. You see that? The BBE version renders it like this: ‘…his love for them went on to the very end.’ Whoooo!!!! Amen!!!

Have you been cheated? Are you under pressure or you are been abused by a friend of relative, I tell you the truth, the Love of Christ for you, is sure and superior to the natural selfish human love. If you will open up yourself to the Love of the father, you will experience healing like never before! 

Now, you must let go of bitterness! For the sake of the love of Christ who never looked at the extent of your decay but yet extend his saving arms and translated you in to into his kingdom. Can I do this? Yes! You can! The word of God says you can! See Rm. 5:5 “and hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love in to our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given to us”.

You are the one left to free yourself from whatever emotional bondage that you have found yourself, its left for you to embrace the love of God and allow it to flow through you to others. It is as you allow the Holy Spirit to work out the love of the father in you and through you, will you experience the inner peace and joy you desperately yearn for and then you will have rest on every side. The devil has no right to steal your joy! He has no right to keep your head bowed! Cheer up! Breathe in his love and see his healing flow in and through your life.

 

Confession time!!!

Beloved, one way the devil can keep you in bondage is to shut your mouth! This is not a gimmick it’s the word of God. If you will do well in life, you’ve got to put the word in your mouth and say what you believe.

“The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart that is the word of faith we are proclaiming” Rm.10:8

“The word is near me; it is in my mouth and in my heart that is the word of faith I speak in Jesus’ name. God is my father, he has loved me with his everlasting love and he will never change his mind even if I ran away. He can never lie to me; I believe his word is true I have been forgiven! I have redemption! I have forgiveness of sins! I’m not hurting anymore! I am convinced that my errors are not counted because he swore to me never to remember them again and he did it by blotting it out in the death of his son and my Lord Jesus Christ. I reject every whisper of condemnation in my heart; I resist that evil voice in the name of Jesus! I am not afraid! God has justified me, no one can condemn me.

I have my confidence back! And the joy of the Lord is my strength! Amen!!!

EYE OPENERS

Your perception of God will determine your disposition to life. Those who perceive God outside of his word will have a wrong perception of him, this is because He (God) is everything his word says he is; “… and the word was God”. Trying to understand God in the sense realm will only lead to frustration and dissatisfaction. I have keenly observed that 90% or more of God fearing ladies of whom I have gotten in contact with have suffered depression and heartbreak at some point in their lives and I have found out that they do so because they have a wrong perception about who God is to them and who they are to God. Having the right perception of who God is to you and who you are to God, will bring you out of the dungeon of depression, heartbreak, and frustration in life. It’s time to get your confidence back and experience the joy of your salvation! This column is designed to open your eyes to the truth about God’s word as it relates to you so that you can live the life God has prepared for you – THE ABUNDANT LIFE. As we move from blogpost to blogpost, I trust that your life will be greatly refreshed in Jesus name.  

God is not angry with you

 “So now I have sworn not to be angry with YOU, never to rebuke YOU again. Though the mountain be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love FOR YOU will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed says the Lord who has compassion ON YOU”. Isa.54:9
 

What a word from the very mouth of God! I decided to put those words “YOU” in uppercase so you could see that this scripture was not written to some folks in Jupiter but for you! You see dearly beloved, in order to bring you to a point of faith, God had to swear to you! I tell you that God is not angry with you. Stop beating yourself! Stop hurting yourself! Stop hurting others!

To think or say that God is angry with you or  that he is punishing you for your sins or that he is keeping record of your mistakes, is to call God a liar! And that is a grave sin! Beloved, God does not chasten his children with a rod of condemnation; rather, he draws them near with his Love.

 

“I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions, for my own sake, and remember your sins no more”.  Isa.43:26

Did you read that? He didn’t cover your transgressions up! He blotted them out! Come on! He has no record of your sins anymore! He did this for his own sake; he is just in love with you! He provided a solution to the sin problem by redeeming your past, present and future wrong in the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross of Calvary.

Quickly confess those four things the Lord has done for you in the above passages:

• The Lord is not angry with me!
• The lord will not rebuke me!
• His unfailing love for me will not be shaking!
• He has compassion on me!
•  He has blot out my transgressions!
• My sins, he will remember no more!

You can go ahead to make it your daily confession till it settles in your spirit, soul and body. 

This is the true nature of your father who art in heaven! He is a loving father! He might be a judge to the world; he is a father to you! Hallelujah!!!! Now see this: 

“in him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace…”

Did you see that? God is not mad with you! In fact, he is actually mad about you! And he has taken every hindrance that will deny you fellowship with him away so as to give you the freedom to love and serve him without any fear or doubt. 

If you are in Him, see what he says you have: Redemption! Forgiveness of sins! This is what you have! It is not as though you are still expecting to have it, you already have it! It’s yours for the getting! If you notice, he said the forgiveness of sins not sin. What does that suggest? It suggest that he has made provision for the forgiveness of the sins yet uncommitted. Does that mean that God is expecting you to sin? No! He detests it! But he made this provision to show you the extent of his love. Amen!
 

You might have missed it big time and might even be thinking that forgiveness is far-fetched; let me joyfully announce to you that you don’t even need to go searching for forgiveness, you already have it! It’s been credited to your account over 2000 years ago! You have what God says you have! Hallelujah!

How to Spot THE MAN

INTRO
Today, we commence a new column called MAN TO WOMAN which is all about getting a man's perspective on different issues that have to do with women. Today's topic is... 

How to Spot THE MAN
Written by Paul Aliyu

The definition of THE MAN in this recent age is a MALE who is above the “teen age”. The question today is, was that God’s perspective or idea of THE MAN when He said, “It is not good for THE MAN to be alone”? WHO and WHAT is the definition of THE MAN God was talking about in this context? If we can have a true understanding of this man, how sweet will our marriages and homes turn out to be! Listen to this: “The fact that he is a MALE does NOT make him THE MAN for you.” So what is the definition and perspective of THE MAN God meant (The Man for you)?

1. Men are not BORN; they are MADE

A man is not the man for you simply because he was born a male. He is the man for you because he has been able to grow himself into a man. Men are first of all born boys then they develop with time into men.

He does not qualify as the man for you because of his age, features or gender. He qualifies as the man for you as a result of what he constitutes mentally, character wise, and his ability to assume and handle the responsibilities of a man. Don’t be so much in a hurry to have the man or else you may end up having a matured boy who calls himself a man who is actually immature and half-baked. Make sure you see those attributes that a man (not a matured boy) should possess in Him. Failure to do so will end you in an immature or premature relationship which can bring about deformity in the relationship or marriage.

2. He will be Real (The Man was formed by God)

When God created man, He formed man. This means He gave him a shape and a structure that made him visible and describable. A man that God has ordained for you will always be real. He will be a man that you can easily define who he is in all ramifications. In other words, he will mean what he says and will say what he means. You will be able to regard him for his words and you will see and take him for WHO HE IS and not WHO HE CLAIMS TO BE.

The man that is meant for you will stand for what he says and take responsibilities for his actions. He will stand for truth, integrity, and honesty so as to live happily with you as the woman of his dreams. The man will not be two-sided or double-faced like the two-sides of a coin. He will be plain and real. His YES will be YES and his NO, NO!

3. He will be God-like (made in the image and likeness of God)

A friend asked me recently, “How do I know if the man is from God? I answered her by asking this question in return: “When you see a man’s child, you know he is the man’s child from the resemblance. Am I right?” she replied “YES!” When God wants to give you (His daughter) a man, He will give you a man that resembles Him. God is interested in giving you His best as His daughter. He will not give to you what will be below His standards. The best standard you can ever get is God’s standard.

The man God has in mind for you is a man that constitutes God’s attributes, nature and character. There is nothing you want in a man that is not in God. So God’s desire for you is for you to have a man that resembles Him; a man that possesses all that you have ever wanted in a man even without telling him (the man). A man made in God’s image and likeness.

NOTE: THE MANUFACTURER (in this case God) will always PRODUCE (give/answer) what will SATISFY the WANTS (taste/prayer points/desires) of the CONSUMER (his sons/daughters); even better that you can ever imagine.

4. He will LOVE you UNCONDITIONALLY

God gave the man and the woman different responsibilities in marriage. Man was made to love the wife even unto the point of death. It’s so unfortunate that the WORLD gives a different definition to the LOVE the WORD of God talks about. Does he love you unconditionally, even unto the point of death? Does he get pissed off at your every offense and want to break up without thinking twice? Does he overlook and forgive your offenses? Does his love for you OUTWEIGH all your offenses? If he does not, then you need to have a re-think and possibly give him more time to GROW INTO A MAN before thinking of a relationship or marriage.

5. He must have discovered his God-given purpose

God decided to create the woman for a man so as to be a help-meet to him. Marrying a man who has not found his God-given purpose will amount to just becoming another woman by his side instead of a “help-meet”.

The primary intention of marriage is for two people (Man and Woman) to fulfill a particular assignment. When that assignment is taken off from marriage, marriage ceases to be marriage. Don’t just seek for any man; seek for a man with a purpose (a vision). Just as people perish for lack of vision, a marriage can perish too for lack of it. There is no point being with a man who cannot define why he needs you in his life. It is said that “Where there is no purpose, abuse is inevitable.” Refuse to be in his life just to bear children, cook for him, wash his clothes, for the pleasure of sex alone, etc. You were equipped beyond that! Don’t just try to be a man’s wife, woman, lab-rat or baby factory; rather, desire to be his help-meet. You have a role to play in his life, vision and assignment.

I always say that, the poorest man on earth is a man without a vision or purpose. A man with wealth but without purpose or vision will soon come to poverty. When a man has a vision and purpose, it might only take time to mature and maybe gather resources for execution of that vision but when all is set, the sky will be his spring board. Don’t just get attracted to his wealth, good looks, phonetics, etc but be glued to his vision and God-given assignment. That is the reason you are in his life. He should be RESPONSIBLE and WORKING (with a PURPOSE), busy accomplishing a purpose or birthing a vision that includes a special role for you as his wife the woman of his dreams.

6. God should be his utmost priority

When God created man, He made man out of dust. Man received life after God breathed into him. Man exists because of the breath God breathed into him.  So have this understanding that the good you can find in any man is because of the fear of God in that man. When you take God out of any man, he is bound to do any kind of evil without feeling any guilt for his actions. Take God away from any man and expect any kind of rubbish from him.

The man God plan for you as a woman is a man that sees God as the essence of his existence; a man with the fear of the Lord; a man that is willing to give everything up but not God. The more of God a man has, the more good you see in him. This makes your relationship with such a man peaceful and enjoyable. You are bound to enjoy marriage to a man whose heart is given to God, owned by God and has the fear of God. Run from a man that puts you first before God. Such a man can hurt you without thinking twice because the fear of God is not in him. God should be the most essential part of a man you desire. It is the God in him that makes him the great and loving husband you seek and desire.

To be continued…

Keep a date with us next week as he shares with us more attributes of THE MAN that will make it easier for you to spot the right man for you.

4 Things The Enemy Wants To Steal From You

The thief comes to steal, to kill and to destroy…John 10:10

For someone to steal a thing from you, it means you are in possession of that thing right? There are some things you presently have that the enemy strives daily to steal from you cuz when he does, it makes it easier for him to destroy you. Check out a few of them below:

Your Peace and Joy

Have you ever lost your peace or joy at some point in life? Your life loses it taste as anxiety, fear and sadness take the front seat. Not only that, you lose your zest for life. It even becomes quite difficult to think of anything productive as negativism and dull-heartedness takes over. The enemy targets stealing these two things because they throw you into imbalance and affect your sense of judgment, going further to cripple your advancement in life.

Your Purity

Blessed are the pure in heart; for they shall SEE God…Matt 5:8. The purity of your mind from evil, unproductive, bitter, unforgiving and immoral thoughts is an important factor that helps you clearly perceive the promptings of God in your spirit. The enemy tries to cloud your mind, heart and life with any of these thoughts in order to hamper your ability to hear the spirit of God clearly. Don’t forget that acts of sin are also acts of impurity.

Your Faith

Your faith is like an ATM card by which you access spiritual blessings in this natural world. Without that card, you can’t successfully access the blessings of God in the physical realm. The enemy works hard to steal you faith via situations of life and replace it with fear, doubt and anxiety so as to cut you off from your blessings.

Your Fellowship With God

Fellowship with God is built via spending quality time in the presence of God both in public and private. Especially as we grow older and get busier, the enemy tries to get you to the point where your fellowship with God becomes minimal or non-existent. When this happens, your prayer life dries up and your spiritual senses are dull, giving the enemy free hand to work all kinds of crazy stuff. The sad thing is; when our fellowship with God is affected, we’re the ones who’re the worse for it, not him (God).

Now that you know what the enemy is constantly seeking to steal from you and why, guard your heart, life and mind to ensure he doesn’t succeed in it. xoxo
