Nuggets For Dynamic Living

As we precipitate toward our destinies in God, and aspiring to fulfil God's plans and purposes on the earth, we must constantly metamorphose (that is to develop gradually, especially from a simple to a more sophisticated form) not just externally but internally as God is progressively revealing divine truths to us. Translating these truth into dynamic spiritual force for our lives is of utmost importance. I would love to refer to this truth as “Nuggets”. The word nuggets, means invaluable information/wisdom, as well as a piece of valuable metal found in the earth. I strongly believe that if we are going to press toward the mark of our highest calling, that there are nuggets in God’s Word that we need to translate into a dynamic spiritual force, as we pursue after God, according to pattern.

It is not your responsibility neither is it within your human capacity to make happen what God said He would do.

Examine Genesis 12:1-3

In the text above, God, instructs Abram to get out of his land of nativity to a land that he will show him. God then lets him understand what he was going to do in and through his life. It is imperative that you take into cognizance the content of God’s word.

Let us outline here the intents of God and what he said he will do;-
I will make thee a great nation;-
I will bless (empower) thee;-
I will make your name great and you shall be a blessing (an empowerment);-
I will bless them that bless thee;-
I will curse them that curse you:-
In thee shall all thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
Examine Genesis 15:1-6
Abram was worried that he had no child and that the steward in his house Eliezer was going to be his heir without a seed. You see whenever things don’t seem like it ought to be you must recline on the fact that God has a plan. The Lord responded to Abram saying no the one born in your house shall not be your heir but the seed that shall come out of your bowels shall be your heir. God brought him out to number the stars if he could, and likened his posterity to the number thereof.
Examine Genesis 16:1-5
It is evident that until now Abram and his wife have waited for so long for the promised child without any visible manifestation. They therefore, decided to help God with an alternative and Sarai hatched a plan to help God out his dilemma. Well this is were most of us are, when we can no longer tarry for the oracles of God to manifest in our lives, our families and enterprises, we come up with our own man made plans and ideas in order to achieve that which only God is able to do exceedingly according to his power at work in us.

This, then brings us to our nugget for today, which states that, “It is not your responsibility, neither is it within your human ability to make happen what Jehovah has declare to do”. You notice right from the texts above, that all the things that God spoke to Abram, none was within is ability neither was it his responsibility to accomplish, it was God’s. Whatever condition you find yourself in, and the numbers of years that you have been in it, please, understand that He that has began a good work in you will accomplish it, for with God all things are possible, for God is not a man that should lie. Don’t try to help God bring to pass what he said he will do, for every word that proceed out of his mouth, shall not return to him void until it prospers in that which it was sent.

Be encouraged and hold on to that which God has spoken concerning you, knowing that it is God’s responsibility and ability to bring to pass what he say he will do, for in due season there shall be a manifestation. Shalom

Fear: “The Devil’s Tool”

Fear, will activate the power of the devil in your life and short-cut you from the life of God. As a matter of fact, the devil’s trick is FEAR, which is to make false evidence appear real to you, which will of course paralyse and disorient you; thus, putting you in a state that I refer to as spiritual incarceration. If it goes undetected, it will bring about serious consequences in and through your life. Fear is based and feeds on your circumstances and insecurities.

“Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in? For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters. For the thing, which I greatly feared, is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.” Job 3: 23-25.

On examining the above scriptural passage, we discover that brother Job appears to have been entertaining fear in his heart before the devil’s assault on his life and his entire household. Understand this one thing, that the devil knows he would not have been able to besiege Job and his entire household, as long as the hedge of protection was in place and undamaged.

In his (devil) discourse with God, he said, “Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.” Job 1:10. This suggestively postulates the fact that the devil had tried in so many ways and supposedly at different periods to destroy Job’s life, only to discover that there was a hedge roundabout him. The scripture lets us understand that “As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even forever.” Psalm 125:2.

Apparently, Job was ignorant of this timeless truth, like many believers today, but as long as the hedge of protection is roundabout you, you are walking by faith and in obedience to God’s Word, be irrefutable of the truth that the devil knows that he will not and cannot touch you or anything that concerns you.
