Cast out your fears

‘Perfect love casts out fear.’
1 John 4:18 NKJV
1. You would be surprised how many people, even successful ones, struggle each day with unexpressed fears. Maybe you’re one of them. Bible says, ‘God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love & of a sound mind’ (2Tim 1:7). Now if our fears don't come from God,..
2..where do they come from? Different sources: 1) The way you were programmed growing up in your family. 2) Overdosing each day on the news, 99% of which is negative. 3) Satan. The point is, your fears don’t come from God. Recognising the true source of your fears is the 1st step
3...to overcoming them. And God has given you a powerful weapon with which to defeat them: ‘Perfect love casts out fear.’ You say, ‘Yes, perhaps if I loved God more perfectly, I wouldn’t be so afraid.’ No, you’ve got the cart before the horse. Try as you might, you could never...
4..love God perfectly. There’s only one ‘perfect love’ & that’s His love for you. And it’s unconditional, bought & paid for by Jesus when He died for you on the cross. Having a revelation of the unmerited, undeserved, unearned love, grace & favour of God towards you will enable..
5...you to rise up and begin to ‘cast out’ fear, anxiety, doubt, guilt, condemnation, and worry. God’s love for you is not based on your performance, but on Christ’s. When you trust in Christ’s performance instead of your own, you are ‘accepted in the beloved’ (Ephesians 1:6 KJV)
6. And when you have the assurance of that, you know you also have the power to ‘cast out’ your fears.

I have always believed that the solution to racism, tribalism, bigotry and discrimination lies in the Church because Galatians 3:28 says "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man. there is neither male nor female; for we're all one in Christ". This is..
...the bedrock of our faith. Christianity provides this fantastic opportunity for us to bridge the divides around ethnicity through inter-tribal marriages and working together with people from different ethnic backgrounds for the sake of Christ. Unfortunately, over the years..
...our churches have become more sectarian. You will hear people openly describe a church as Igbo Church and another as Yoruba Church. Right inside the church, you will see parents preventing their wards from marrying a Christian from another tribe or another denomination.

Don’t belittle your gift

‘Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think.’
Ephesians 3:20 NKJV
1. Next time you see a big oak tree, remind yourself that it began as a tiny acorn. What you have to offer today may seem small, but when God blesses it, it can grow. In 1912, Dr Russell Conwell, pastor of Grace Baptist Church in Philadelphia, told about a Sunday school student..
2...named Hattie May Wiatt. Because of overcrowding, Dr Conwell had told Hattie May he would love to have buildings large enough for everyone to attend. When Hattie May became ill & died, Conwell was asked to preach at her funeral. The girl’s mother told him Hattie May had been..

READ TO THE END

Sometimes when I think of what we did as teenage Christians, I will cringe and sometimes burst out in laughter. Back in the day, we had a crew that specializes in deliverance. We all had our specialty in terms of which "demons" we had the competence to exorcise.
"OB" had the competence to combat the demon of sexual immorality. He cld spot the "seed of the whore" from a mile. "CN" was the HOD of the deliverance unit. "HA" was his deputy. My brother @AdeoluOgunnubi was the apprentice, while I was just the "teacher" to break down the "word"
Whenever there was a case, (which usually is another teenager or widow), CN will be contacted. He will then hold an initial interview with the subject to diagnose the problem and the demon we will be dealing with. This will help him select those who will perform the deliverance.

Loving people you don’t like

‘His…plan has always been to adopt us into his…family.’
Ephesians 1:5 TLB
1. In the Bible God commands us to love one another. Interestingly, He doesn’t command us to like one another. And that’s a good thing because you can love someone and not like certain things about them. Paul writes, ‘We are his workmanship’ (Ephesians 2:10 KJV).
2. The word ‘workmanship’ comes from the Greek word poiéma from which we get the word poetry. And poetry is a diversified and creative thing; it comes in many forms. That’s why the Bible says God works through different people in different ways (see 1 Corinthians 12:6).

Cultivate an awareness of God’s presence

‘Surely the LORD is in this place, and I was not aware of it.’
Genesis 28:16 NIV
1. Jacob lived life on the fast track doing business deals & making lots of money, unlike David who was on the slow track tending a flock of sheep in his pasture. But notice what each of them said abt God. ‘When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, “Surely the Lord is in this
2...place & I was not aware of it.”’ On the other hand, David said: ‘I will praise the Lord, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me. I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I'll not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
