WHY DON'T MINISTERS WRITE IN PROGRAMS?

Dear Minister of God, the anointed and most graced of God. I have a question for you.

My simple question is, WHY DO YOU THINK IT'S NOT NECESSARY TO WRITE/RECORD MESSAGES WHEN YOU ATTEND PROGRAMS?

Do you think you're better than other Christians who attend the same program or that you may not need the message afterwards? Perhaps you even know how to deliver better than most Ministers who came to preach at the program...🤷‍♂️

Can I tell you this, you're missing a lot. Remember you have to be a Christian to remain His Minister.

You also need to know that; regardless of how powerful and anointed a message is, a huge & reasonable part of the message will have no impact on you if it's not reflected, reviewed and meditated upon. And this is not excluding Ministers including the preacher of the message.

This is one of the reasons why the churches whose members grow spiritually (especially in Word) are those churches whose members feed on the tapes and books from their church.

P.S: This little write-up is inspired while listening to the audio record I made at the just concluded Retreat. It was as though I didn't attend the program myself, very fresh again !!

Please don't joke with God's Word.

Shalom!

YOUNG & VIBRANT 2023

It is with every sense of humility and responsibility, I am inviting everyone to Young & Vibrant 2023. May our labour (of love) never be in vain in Jesus name.

Observing the wisdom of God at work in the life of king Solomon; the man who built the house for the Lord for seven (7) solid years. Nevertheless, when it came to building his own house, it took him thirteen (13) solid years (that is almost double of what it took him to build for God) and God was never jealous over that.

So, I wondered "what could be the wisdom behind this?"

I realized that for a man who will last on "his throne" in life, whatever he may be engaged in (in the name, and for the Lord) as his ministry/career, even though it should come FIRST like Solomon did, such man must be ready to spend and expend DOUBLE of; time, resources, dedication, concentration, consecration etcetera TO BUILDING HIS OWN PLACE OF REST–his house. The house here symbolizes a home/family. This is very crucial for a man who desires to have AN ALL-ROUND REST IN "HIS KINGDOM" LIKE KING SOLOMON (1 Kings 5:4).

This kind of Wisdom, and lots more Blessings are what we shall all be trusting the Lord to equip our lives with (for the years ahead) as we g*ther to worship/praise Him at YOUNG & VIBRANT 2023.

Looking forward to seeing you.

Till then, stay blessed.

One of the things I cherished most is RELATIONSHIP.
I don't joke with it. I value it so much that most times I sacrifice for it.

You know why? I realized that one day, you'll come to understand that your most worthy investment on Earth is not in material things, but in how well you've treated others.

DON'T REMAIN AN ECHO, GROW TO BECOME A VOICE.
(A token of advice to fellow Young Ministers)

2 Chronicles 34:1-3 NASB

[1] Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem.

[2] He did right in the sight of the Lord, AND WALKED IN THE WAYS OF HIS FATHER DAVID AND DID NOT TURN ASIDE TO THE RIGHT OR TO THE LEFT.

[3] For in the eighth year of his reign WHILE HE WAS STILL A YOUTH, HE BEGAN TO SEEK THE GOD of his father David; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem of the high places, the Asherim, the carved images and the molten images.

Even though it is a norm for every child (young Ministers in this case) to follow after fathers– walk and talk like them, quote them verbatim, do what they do, and even pattern life, marriage and ministry after them "without checking" like Josiah also did when he was still a child, there must be a time when you're expected to grow up and pursue, seek after, and follow after THE GOD of all (and of those fathers) Himself.

From what I found in the scriptures, that is not only a sign of growth, but a beginning of your life and ministry.

Many of what I see these days are young men who just go about echoing what these great men have said rather than speaking for Yahweh Himself. And as God is wondering; "who will be my voice in this new generation", fathers are also worried; "what new thing will the ones coming after us do, hope they won't repeat our mistakes?"

From what I've learnt so far, there's no perfect preacher or minister of the Gospel no matter how eloquent or anointed he is. Infact, a notable Minister of God said, "there's no how you'll check a one-year sermon of every preacher and you won't find one thing needed to be corrected."

So, why do you think you must echo everything someone said rather than settling down to receive that rhema yourself?

Let me pause here for now. Till next time.

PROVERBS 31:3-6
"Do not give your strength to women,
Nor your ways to that which destroys kings.

It is not for kings, O Lemuel,
It is not for kings to drink wine,
Nor for princes intoxicating drink;

Lest they drink and forget the law,
And pervert the justice of all the afflicted.

Give strong drink to him who is perishing,
And wine to those who are bitter of heart."

There are things others can do, but the KING in me won't permit me to doing it.

I am not among those that are perishing. I am a living a reigning king. I can't just do anything, neither can I do anyhow.

If you are a king, there are codes and conducts that must guide the way you live your life.

HANDLING THE PRESSURES IN LEADERSHIP
(Moses; A case study)

PT. 1. His Leadership/Good Intention was rejected.

Exodus 2: 11-14 NIV.
11. One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to where his own people were and watched them at their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people.

12. Looking this way and that and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.

13. The next day he went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in the wrong, “Why are you hitting your fellow Hebrew?”

14. The man said, “WHO MADE YOU RULER and JUDGE OVER US? Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses was afraid and thought, “What I did must have become known.”

As a leader, there are times when you have good intentions for people, you felt God will have you HELP people OUT but the same people you want to help are the ones going against you as though saying; "we never told you to help us in the first place." Or an individual even saying it to your face; "I don't need your help." Not because such people aren't in need of help but for some reasons best known to them, they don't want you.

AT THAT POINT, YOU NEED TO WITHDRAW A BIT;

maybe there's something you're getting wrongly, your approach to rendering the help might also be wrong, or you might need to wait a while till such people get to the peak of their needs. At such point, they might be the one to come for your help themselves or send someone to you.

Helping people is good, but you can't do it ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, nor ANYHOW. Learning how to do it appropriately will give credence to your leadership.

Will still come on Moses again in no long time from now, STAY TUNED!

One day I looked at my Facebook (public figure) page and it was reported that the larger percentage of those who liked it are women. It even include their age bracket and since then I LOVE WOMEN MORE.

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY!!!

In the second edition of THE ACTORS MAGAZINE, I wrote two articles which were inspired from the lives of some women in the Bible.

The first was titled:
LETTERS FROM NAOMI; AN ADVICE TO MOTHERS INLAW

And the second:

HINDRANCES TO ACCESSING REVELATIONS.

By revelation, I mean: the unveiling of the Person, Word and Works of God. Right from the beginning of creation, God has always want Himself known to Man whom He created in His own Image & Likeness.
He does this either by speaking to them/confirming what He has said to them before or by showing His mighty works on earth (and among men).

EXODUS 6:2-3 AMP
"And God said to Moses, I am the Lord. I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as God Almighty [El-Shaddai], but by My name the Lord [Yahweh—the redemptive name of God] I did not make Myself known to them [in acts and great miracles]."

When Jesus came, He confronted the people of His days who seemed learned in all scriptures (which is the documented Word of God) yet ignorant of whom the Christ is. See what He said to them;

"You search and investig*te and pore over the Scriptures diligently, because you suppose and trust that you have eternal life through them. And these [very Scriptures] testify about Me!" (John 5:39 AMP)

Those folks explored the Bible, yet they were ignorant of what & whom the Bible was talking about i.e, God/Christ Himself. Sometimes, your acclaimed knowledge of the Scriptures/Bible could also be an hindrance to your access to the revelations of whom God is. And that brought me to clearly stating the first point of this hindrances which I called THE BARRIER OF HEAD KNOWLEDGE.

To avoid boring you with much letters and for space & time, I will safe the further details on this till next week when we shall be looking into this topic more. Just remember this: when it is about God, you may need to keep aside whatever you used to know (about Him) so that you can see embrace the Newness of Him...

See you later on this platform. Love you with the love of Christ.

As we enter into the end of this "old & stricken-in-age" year 2020 and preparing for a New year, whatever God has not ordained but trying to establish and making itself "king" shall be overthrown in Jesus name.

1 Kings 1:1,5,11,12 KJV.

1. Now king David was old and stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he g*t no heat.

5. Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, I will be king: and he prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.

11. Wherefore Nathan spake unto Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith doth reign, and David our lord knoweth it not?

12. Now therefore come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel, that thou mayest save thine own life, and the life of thy son Solomon.

It is certain that there must be a beginning of a new thing for the ending of another. What is not certain is if that new beginning will be as exactly as what God has ordained.

I will urge you to be sensitive to the happenings in and around your life, anything that is not in accordance to what He has promised is not from Him. You must not be quiet about it as well; just as Natan and Bathseba was not quiet but they did to enforce the purposes of God.

I pray with you that you will live in peace and welfare (as God intended: see Jeremiah 29:11) from now on, through 2021 and beyond in Jesus' name...Amen
