Your Stage Is Set (i)

“And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them, to pluck them, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict, so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith the LORD.”

Jeremiah 31:28

For many of us, every day is a hustle. For many of us, every day is a battle. For many of us, every day is a struggle. For many of us, every day is a new problem. For many of us, everyday is a continuance of yesterday’s hustle, battle, struggle, and problem.

But God sent me to tell you that all of which you are combating today, to get to tomorrow, is only a passage to get to your stage which He has set for you.

Friend, your stage is already set!

The Almighty builder has built your own unique stage from nothing with His great hands. The Rain-maker has shifted the horizons and placed the sun in its position to shine on the day you wake up to walk on that very stage.

If you haven’t already, take a moment to read (or re-read) the scripture above. What a powerful word!

I was told to remind you today that God has always been, still is, and will always be in control. The King of all kings still sits on His Glorious throne, watching over you.

‘THE GREAT I AM,’ is still the only one with the power to pluck the bad seeds you have sewn through blindness and disobedience. HE is the great One that has broken down the strongholds and chains of the enemy over your life. HE has thrown down the mighty self-fulfilling pride that you didn’t even know you possessed. HE has destroyed the plots that has been intended to harm and destroy you.

In the same token,

The God who knows your beginning and your end and has promised to fill your house with wealth and riches, says HE has afflicted you so you can grow in your faith for His deliverance. HE says He is building you and has planted you where you are so when the time comes for your curtains to open, and the world to see the glory of God through you, you will be right on the stage that has already been predestined for you even before you were born!

Seek Ye First…(Part 1)

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.”

Matthew 6:33

What is the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning?…Really think about it. These are moments of truth.

What is the first thing you do when you get to work? Who do you first check in with?

What is the first thing you do when you return home?…remember your answers carefully because we are about to examine what it is you really seek first. And I am sure the truth will shock you, as it did me.

If all three of your answers were anything other than you ‘seeking first the kingdom’, then friend, we both have some work to do.

Let’s really think and talk about it.

When you arise in the morning, do you not know that it was grace that kept life in your lungs and health in your body to rise to see the new mercy of a new day? Is it not so you can seek the kingdom yet another day?

When you get to your place of work, do you not know that God is indeed the ruler of all things? have you not been placed there by God to glorify Him for the position He alone has granted you? Could there not have been another in your place? Is it not so you can seek the kingdom through your words and deeds while He fulfills your needs by keeping your place at your job?

And when you return home safely in your abode, do you not know that it was still grace that kept you under God’s watchful eye, protecting your steps and movements throughout your day’s journeys? Is it not so you can seek the kingdom in thanksgiving for the completion of yet another day?

Bottom-line, if grace and mercy in God’s kingdom agenda did not have you in it, why else would you be alive when you could have been long gone or worse, alive, but living as though you were dead?

I wonder how much burdens we’d be giving up in return for fullness of strength and faith if we sought God’s kingdom first rather than worldly treasures.

If we sought the kingdom rather than our own thrown of power, if we first sought the kingdom, how different would our walk in purpose be? How easy would life be if we were capable of truly believing God for what HE already promised us as His children?

If we could completely trust our Maker, the Author and Finisher of our life’s race, that all things, not some, but all the things we seek will surely be added to us, how joyous and fulfilling would our journey be?

I mean, consider all the effort you and I put into sustaining our friendships and our social settings. Consider all the time we put into going into events and fulfilling work-mandated obligations. What do we really seek when we do these things?

Do we daily seek love, wisdom, compassion, harmony, truth, justice, forgiveness, and kindness? Or do we seek a paycheck and companionship to last us enough till the next best thing comes around?

Yet, we complain and wonder why we are not basking in the riches and wealth that the Word promise us.

I mean, God is not man that HE should lie. Are we not the ones who are yet to commit to living in complete truth? CONTINUE READING HERE.

You Have A Job, But What Is Your Assignment?

“Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began…”

2 Timothy 1:9

With each passing day, I am granted the grace to know more and more just how intentional our God is. Though His great intentions are not readily revealed to those who watch and wait on His glory, God remains intentional in ALL of His creations.

Friend, that includes YOU!

You ever just wonder, ‘why me?’

Why is the homeless man without a home or food to eat instead of you? Why is the young woman battling terminal cancer instead of you? Why are your peers left desolate in a lost world instead of you? Why did you not lose your head back when that anger was stirred inside you? Why did you not remain in that state of depression? Why have YOU made it this far in life without dying?!

God preserved your life for HIS purpose. God preserved you for His own assignment for your life, the one He alone created even before, “the world began.”

I mean, take a moment to imagine, what could have been, what should have been, had it not been for grace to carry you through all your life?

The times you could have been in the right place at the worst time. The time you could have made the wrong turn. The time you could have shut a door of opportunity trusting in your understanding alone.

Your own works have not preserved you, the LORD your God did it. And that is because there is an assignment on your life!

The devil could not have you because there is a calling on your being! God created you and Christ paid the price for this calling!

So you may have the wonderful job, the prominent title, today’s security, but are you working on your assignment?

Do you really know who to report to when the day begins and when the day ends?

There will always be jobs, vacant positions requesting your very own credentials on paper, but there is only One divine assignment with your name on it, and the Spirit is asking you today, why has the assignment remained untouched?

Friend, who or what has been keeping you away from your assignment?…May those strongholds be broken today in Jesus name!

As always, we are convinced that we are waiting on God to bless an empty position, when it’s God waiting on us to come in alignment with Him by asking for our assignment as an obedient servant ought to.

Remember the Word of God. Is everything not supposed to work for your good? Are wealth and riches not promised to be in your house? Will your cup not overflow with blessings from heaven?

These are all part of God’s intentions toward you when He created you for His assignment, for only the Creator knows what He had in mind for the created.

God is not man that He should lie.”

But how can promises follow a good work when the assignment has not yet been moved or worked on by the one it is assigned to?

As you read this, may the heavenly hosts restore your will to heed the call of the Lord your God. May God Almighty in His mercy and grace reveal to you what no one else can. And may you live to fulfill your predestined assignment in Jesus name. Amen

Don’t Ask If. Ask Your Maker Why He Chose You

“For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.”

Psalm 107:9

What are you hungry for? What is your soul yearning for? Do you even know that you are hungry?

These are questions that often propel me to dig deeper as a servant of the most High, to search my spirit, and ask it to please remind me that He chose me. Because I know I never chose him, but mercy chose me. Mercy chose you too. You are not here by chance.

There is nothing ordinary about you. Nothing is simple about the make of you as a child of God. Our God is intentional in all that He does in His own perfect will. The maker of heaven and earth, the world, and all that dwells in it, created you in HIS own image for a reason.

It’s time to ask the spirit, “what is the reason for my being?”

Nothing or no one else can give the true answer to that but the Lord your God who “formed you in your mother’s womb.”

We spend a lot of time trying to figure out who we really are, what we are to do with our lives. We get into cliques and organizations all through different stages of our lives, identifying with this thing, and that, and the other. But I was sent to tell you, that you are chosen. And it is time to ask the Holy One who chose you, what exactly you have been chosen for.

The Lord your God has chosen you to be the one in whom His glory shines through. It is now time for you to seek him and ask him to show you your purpose.

Take a second and think of the other paths your life could have taken. How did you find this platform? what led you here? What moments of life have you particularly acknowledged along your journey in this world so far? why have they stood out to you? Have you been ignoring His voice this whole time? Or have you simply not been able to hear it? What has been pulling at your soul that you keep repressing?

You. You are chosen.

So the question is not whether or not he chose you, but rather why he chose you. Ask Him for your assignment.

Nothing, absolutely nothing is a coincidence. Absolutely nothing is a mistake because the creator of the universe, the Lord of Hosts still sits and reigns on his glorious throne and he has chosen you to be his child, his servant, his vessel, his friend, his messenger. You. God chose you. Your life is purposeful for the glory of your all-knowing maker.

Ask Him.
