GO AND RAISE NATIONS

 AMOS REPLIED : "I WAS NO PROPHET BEFORE, I RAISED CATTLE AND PRUNED TREES, THEN GOD TOOK ME OFF THE FARM AND SAID, “GO AND RAISE NATIONS”". WOW! 


My dear, don't worry if they say you don't look qualified, don't worry if your words don't seem possible, don't worry my friend, never be distraught when you're reminded of limitations by present circumstances, don't worry when you're shoved to backseat and the grandstand, maintain that picture of greatness and see it occurring with you inclusive. 


   And in moments like that : just remember the words of Amos the prophet in Amos 7:14-15 |MSB, “I never set up to be a preacher, never had plans to be a preacher. I raised cattle and I pruned trees. Then GOD took me off the farm and said, "Go preach to my people Israel”.


   Today, you may not look like the future you see, but don't ever give up, you may be looking over the flock as a Pastor of twenty people, but God is marking your faithfulness. One day, just one day, He'll amplify what was not considered relevant as a standard to the whole world. Amos said “I was not a preacher, I was just minding my business of taking care of animals, then God picked me up and set me up for bigger things in life”.


   Never worry about how that big vision will happen, don't worry, just keep saying it everyday, declare it with all your heart and see yourself in the reality of those words. One day, and it wouldn't be long from today, they'll all happen and you'll be amazed at the goodness of God in your life. Wow!


Zechariah 4:10 |NLT instructs “Do not despise these small beginnings, for the LORD rejoices to see the work begin, to see the plumb line in Zerubbabel's hand ....” 


Never despise little beginnings, learn it, everything little means it has a future, little doesn't mean it'd remain little. At this very moment, you may have had visions of yourself pastoring thousands, but at the moment you might be pastoring fifteen people, but never give up. 


Your present position in the natural may just be to tend the flock as a Pastor like Amos led the herd, do it wholeheartedly and just stay committed. Mark my words, one day, just one day, a word will come to you from the Lord, and that word will elevate you from pastoring twenty souls to packing out a city. 


Stay focused with what you have in your hand and mind, you're closer to doing big things than you thought. Stay faithful, and I declare to you today, that you'll pack out city centres, large halls and stadiums all around the world, that day will come if you'd only reach out with your words and believe. 


It's just a matter of time. Bible says Joseph was tried until the time that His personal word came. Listen, yours will come and that will put tears of joy in your eyes. So stay faithful, God will so honor you, and in just one day you'll accomplish what is done in six decades, and it wouldn't be long from today.


Commit yourself to the word and trust it with all your heart. Lean on God, not your own strategies, because it was His word that lifted Amos from leading animals to leading nations. It was that same word that promoted Peter from catching fishes to catching men with the net of God's word. 


When you're bound in the word and prayer, and you have nowhere else to turn, you'll learn to trust God because you have no where else to go. 


Psalms 105:17-19 records, 

   “He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:

Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron: Until the time that his (Joseph's) word came: the word (prophetic word) of the LORD tried (filled) him”


Joseph was bound with fetters and chains, and until the time that his personal word came, the word of the Lord tried him, the word of God kept him at one place until it was time to move. The book of Isaiah says “Those who believe are never in a hurry”, so relax and give yourself to the word of God. 


And be like a child depending on his daddy to carry him up. Jesus would often call His Father “Abba”, an Aramaic term for “daddy”. So yes, depend on the word to raise you up, because in Him we live and move, indeed we have nowhere else to go if we would only see this reality today. 


My dear, depend on the word, be like Amos and be patient where you are right now, stay committed to little things while you declare the future, and trust it with all your heart, then see the miracle of God's grace that'll gush out onto your life. Wow!

WHEN SHE GETS READY TO RUN

  WHEN SHE GETS READY TO RUN | SHE LAUGHS AT THE HORSE AND ITS RIDER | THE INDUSTRIES AND THEIR GIANTS | STILL ON DESIRE Job 39:13-15,18 narrates,     “The wings of the ostrich flap joyously... She abandons her eggs on the ground and lets them be warmed in the sand, but she forgets that a foot might crush them or any wild animal might trample them.... And yet when she gets ready to run, she laughs at the horse and its rider.” Forget risk when you commit things to God's word! Forget who, when, how and what ifs! Risk is not a part of life, risk is a consciousness, a destructive one, don't form it with your mind, it's a great disadvantage!  The bible says “the ostrich forgets that a foot might crush her eggs or any wild animal might trample them”, she forgets, meaning she's not conscious of risk once she commits her eggs to the sand for warmth and preservation of life.  Make the word the confidence you have for the actualization of your dreams, and don't ever entertai

PUBLIC PERCEPTION IS VERY IMPORTANT

  YOUR POSTS | ARE MESSAGES SENT THROUGH THE MAIL OF MEDIA | AND A GOOD NAME, WILL ALWAYS BE BETTER | THAN THE RICHNESS OF PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR WHAT IS WRONG | LIVE A DIGNIFIED LIFE | BECAUSE YOU CAN  As a child of God, public perception is very important, because people can't relate with you more or less than what you show them, and you can't convince them beyond what you put out there : a good name (personality) is truly better than all, so have an ambassadorial mindset always.      God sent you here on a dignified mission, hence whatever you put out there becomes a public testimony of your personality, it's called a post because it's a message you've posted through the mail of media, signed with your send-button.      What gets out to public front, lives on forever in time. Use the social media to your advantage, don't let it use you, don't let it abuse you emotionally and socially.     There are mistakes that when you make today with the media, you migh

RESIDUAL OR PASSIVE INCOME

  RESIDUAL OR PASSIVE INCOME | MIND RECONSTRUCTION | WAKE UP AND TALK DIFFERENTLY | WORDS ARE THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF LIFE  Very born again, yet you believe in residual income, so much so it's your dream, why not just change the term for yourself so you think on the right path, that's the thing, the terms.     Bible says they who teach these things are of the world and therefore speak of it and the world hears them. Clearly you've been told the category of persons who are expected  to hear them. So why are you also responding to their terms. Mind you it's not just an english word, it's also called a term, a binding agreement.       How different are you from Lazarus, the poor man who ate the crumbs that fell (as residues) from the rich man's table ?     What then is the meaning of “all things are yours, where then is the reigning when you're down there collecting residues like a beggar ?     Also called passive income, why not just call it active incom
