IT’S TIME TO CALL IT QUIT

Covenant of Life

A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keeps going and suffer for it (Proverbs 22:5)

I will like to randomly discuss this topic, trusting you will relate the words on the screen to the ramifications/ spheres of your life.
You can trust it’s a new year – 2017 (a year of Increment – only if you can break through)
according to His words to me.  There are a lot of persons out there with great expectations but they do not know how to go about the manifestations. Out of my busy schedule, I pray the Holy spirit helps and inspires me to give out on a series some principles on how we can all breakthrough for Increment.
It’s Time to call it Quit!!
Think about year 2016, reconcile your plans/visions and the results. A lot of persons did not get a commensurate yield. Take a pause as we get 2017 rolling:
  • Firstly, if you had plans for 2016 that you did not make and are still worth it, it’s time to re-enlist them.
  • Secondly, list out the new revolutions for the year.
  • Lastly, for the reason of this write-up, we settle the issue of fear. – How is it going to happen??

How it is going to happen is not actually your business, what is really your business is what do I do to make it happen? And one of those things is..... Quit!!

I acronym Q                                    Quick
                   U                                     Understanding
                    I                                      In
                    T                                     Times

It’s time to look back quick and quit. It’s time to look into our life till 2016 as regards the re-enlisted visions and take away what’s made them impossible.

Isn’t it funny how sometimes: We pray and we do not get results – but through revelations,I have come to understand our prayers get answered through subtractions. Take for example, a young person keeps asking God for Money,God answers him by taking away greed!

Year 2017 is a year of increment if only we will breakthrough – If only we will quit what we need to quit!
When we quit what we need quit, then God answers our prayers like we expect. I mean a young man without greed will make more money gradually.

Let me just stir the waters here with basic examples to what we need to quit in three spheres of our life:

Emotionally:          

  • It’s time to quit running after those that are not seeing you.
  • It’s time to define open relationships that have taken a while in your life.
  • It’s time to quit emotional affiliations that are not investing in you. 
  • It’s time to stop complaining and love more.

Financially:         

  • It’s time to quit pleasing people, giving to those that can give back to us.
  • It’s time to quit robbery in – Tithes, Offerings & Alms.
  • It’s time to quit spending all, and save.
  • It’s time to quit thinking you have your spending power.

Spiritually:         

  •  It’s time to quit activities and be involved in a walk with your Creator & Saviour
  •  It’s time to quit attending events that do not enrich your soul.
  •  It’s time to quit messages/songs/videos/articles/posts that do not draw you close to CHRIST.
  •  It’s time to quit that religion and live the real way of life – Christianity.

Remember what He told me: Only if you’ll breakthrough will there be Increment. I will leave you with this succinct quote: Only if you Quit it will not be Neat!

Happy New Year.

THE 7 DISPENSATIONS IN THE BIBLE

Dispensationalism is a method of interpreting history that divides God’s work and purposes toward mankind into different periods of time. Usually, there are seven dispensations identified, although some theologians believe there are nine. Others count as few as three or as many as thirty-seven dispensations.  In this article, we will limit ourselves to the seven basic dispensations found in scripture.

DID JOHN THE BAPTIST REALLY EAT INSECTS(LOCUST)?

His name was divinely given. It was to be “John” ( Luke 1:13 ), which derives from a Hebrew term signifying “Jehovah is gracious.” He was known familiarly as “ the Baptist ” (bearing no relation to the modern sect), which simply means “an immerser , one who administers the rite of immersion” ( Matthew. 3:1; 11:11; .. ). The Jewish historian Josephus even refers to John by this designation (Antiquities 18.5.2). The importance of John in the divine scheme of things probably is summed up best in the testimony of Jesus himself. “ Among them that are born of women there has not arisen a greater than John the Baptist ” ( Matthew 11:11 ). Luke does say of John: “ And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his showing unto Israel ” ( Luke 1:80 ).  This desert (or deserted) area “stretches from Jerusalem and Bethlehem eastward some 20 miles down to the Jordan River and th e Dead Sea.” It is “a barren region of rugged hills and valleys” (Earle, 30

THE MYSTERY OF HIS PRESENCE

Have you ever wondered why God will not honour the words of certain men and honour that of another? Have you ever thought about something  like this or experienced this: The Bible says ..... You shall lay your hands upon the sick and they will recover ( Mark 16:18b ). You laid your hands and instead of a recovery, you found a discovery – that the man is not healed and the sickness/disease has back-fired. This can be painful......  until a young man comes and at the sound of his voice, the infirmity flees. Has this ever bothered you? Or that a man speaks into existence instantly what you have been begging God for with fasting and prayers.   I bring you a mystery today!

HOW DO YOU AMAZE JESUS?

Today we want to scripturally study a man who did amaze Jesus. To amaze  someone is to fill the person with wonder/astonishment; greatly surprise. You can bet it will be such great things that will amaze Jesus right? Yes it should be. Someone amazed Jesus and it brought about his miracle.  In every day and aspects of our life, we also amaze Jesus but there’s always the others side of a coin. Let’s study:

GLORIFICATION

What is glorification according to the Bible? Glorification is the theological term used to describe the final removal of sin from the lives of Christians at the end of time. Dictionaries generally define glorification as a state of high or heightened honour. In biblical studies, however, glorification exists as one of three parts of the process of the Christian life that includes justification (being made right with God), sanctification (the ongoing process of being made holy), and glorification (the final removal of sin).
