Anchor Song:I'm Yours

If your current job is not your dream job, even if it's not close to your dream job in any way, the Bible has an advice for you. Ecclesiastes 9:10 - Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might; for there is no activity or planning or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead) where you are going[AMP].

I want you to really take a good look at the Scripture above and note that the Bible didn't say "whatever your heart finds to do", it says whatever your hand finds to do. Trust me, God knows the difference. Many people are waiting to find that heart satisfying job before they begin to do their best, but that is obviously not God's perspective.

If Joseph had kept waiting for his heart satisfying job before he did his best, then that dream job would have never come. If anything would carry your name, I think that thing deserves your best, that your father in heaven might be glorified. God Bless You!

Anchor Song: Much Of You
Artist: Steven Curtis Chapman
URL: http://tinyurl.com/ktw7k5u

My favorite kind of music are songs that not only sound sweet to the ears, but also have positively thought provoking lyrics, and the song anchored above is a good description of such. My discovery of this song is a testament to my belief  that everyone should listen to their music in shuffle mode from time to time, you'd be surprised at some songs you never knew you had.

So while on a bus some nights ago and my music was playing on shuffle, a song came up that captures what has my heart cry for some time now, and I fell in love with the song right away.  I had to ask myself again while listening to this song, what have I done with all God has given to me?

Ephesians 1:3 - How we praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who HAS blessed us with every blessing in heaven because we belong to Christ[TLB].

If indeed God HAS blessed us with all the blessing in heaven, I want to make much of that, if it is true that goodness and mercies are constantly following me, I want to make much of that, if God daily loads us with benefits, I don't want any of the benefits to ever be wasted. The cross, and the grace that came through it, I need to make much of that. Lord, I've given you my life, "take it and let it be used to make much of YOU". God Bless You!

Anchor Song: The Blood Of Jesus

Do you know that Jesus didn't have to suffer like He did and then go to the cross for Him to defeat the devil, so why did He? The book of Jude says that when angel Michael contended with the devil, he simply said, the Lord rebuke you. My point is that if Michael could contend with the devil, then Jesus didn't have to take such a beating if He didn't want to.

Isaiah 53:5 - But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was crushed for our wickedness [our sin, our injustice, our wrongdoing]; The punishment [required] for our well-being fell on Him, And by His stripes (wounds) we are healed[AMP].

As we celebrate Easter, you must understand that every single punishment Jesus endured, He did because you and I needed it. Every price He paid, He paid so that you and I can live the quality of life He lived. He broke the power of sin, so that you and I can lay claim to His righteousness, and stand boldly before God.

Easter is really special, because it is the time when the purpose of Christmas was fulfilled. Therefore, I pray that this Easter will be special for you, and the most amazing thing that can happen is for you to discover and come to experience all that Jesus did in this season, just for you. God Bless You!

Anchor Song: Destined For Greatness

As a child of God, your best days are always ahead of you, irrespective of how good or not so good things have been, and guess what, you were not designed to avoid problems, but to solve them. However, you must understand that you were not designed to solve all the problems in the world, you can't, but you were made for some specific ones. For example, cars were made to solve the problem of transportation, but that is not the only problem in the world right? But for that man that made the car, he has done his part. Therefore, are you working towards doing your part?

Ephesians 2:10 - For we are His workmanship [His own master work, a work of art], created in Christ Jesus [reborn from above--spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used] for good works, which God prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set], so that we would walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us][AMP].

You know, it really does excite me to know that God has created some things for me, and He called it a "good" work. Remember, that after God made the universe, He looked at all He had created and said it was good. This means that for you and I to get an idea of the kind of good work God has in mind for us, then we can just take a look at the magnificence of the universe. I don't know what it is, but I believe the Bible says God has prearranged something mind blowing for you and I to accomplish on this earth, and for me, I am determined to find mine. God Bless You!

It is not what a man does that determines whether his work is sacred or secular, it is why he does it - A.W. Tozer. I saw this quote while going through a very impactful devotional on the YouVersion Bible app titled Passion: The bright light of glory by Louie Giglio, and I must confess that I thoroughly enjoyed every single bit of that devotional.

Now, just think about that quote again, if it is not what a man does but why he does what he does that determines if what he does is sacred or secular, then it means anything and everything can be either sacred or secular. It means a man can be a pastor and his pastoral assignment can be secular while another man is a businessman, yet his dealings are sacred.

It also means that the fact that you work in a bank, school, hospital, law firm, entrepreneur, whatever doesn't make what you do any less sacred when compared to your pastor if you've got your "why" right. So why do you do what you do? Why are you pursuing that particular kind of life/future?

Matthew 5:16 - Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good deeds and moral excellence, and [recognize and honor and] glorify your Father who is in heaven[AMP].

If bringing glory to the One who made you is not at the core of your "why", then you need to make it sacred sacred. God Bless You!

Anchor song: Blessings

Just in case you are one of those who think you are doing your church a favour by attending service, you better stop deceiving yourself and realize that you are actually doing yourself more favour. As much as churches like to make their members welcome and special, you must understand that the only MVP/VIP in every service is God through the Holy Spirit.

Yes, when you attend a service, your presence is a blessing to that service because you carry God's blessing, but you must also know that you are also blessed by attending, so it's more like a blessing exchange. Deuteronomy 32:30 - How could one person chase a thousand or two people make ten thousand flee? Their rock used these people to defeat them and the Lord gave them no help[GW].

You see, the verse above implies the exponential force multiplication that happens when God gets involved in a matter. One handles a thousand and two - ten thousand, so we can say that a service of two people has the potential of generating 10,000 units of spiritual energy/substance over any matter. So is it not obvious that each individual is doing himself a favour by coming to that service because there he can do more than he would have accomplished fellowshiping alone in his house?

Hence, for every service you have an opportunity to attend, thank God brcause it's an opportunity you to do more. God Bless You!

Anchor Song: Take Over
Artist: Aaron Shust

Whenever you are wronged by an individual and you are advised to "leave it for God", do you really know what that means? Most times, people make "leave it for God" sound like let yourself get cheated for nothing or just act the fool and move on, but id like you to know that one of the best things you can do in any matter to leave it for God.

When Abraham wanted to settle the contentions between his servants and Lot's servant, he asked Lot to select the land he wanted and Lot chose the best part and Abraham decided to do what, "leave it for God". Abraham could have contended with Lot and He would seem right and logical, but he didn't and you know how the story ended.

Also, after David had killed Goliath and saved his people from becoming slaves to the Philistines, Saul, who was the King got jealous of David and wanted him dead. Even when David had the chance to kill Saul, David decided the best thing to do was "leave the matter for God". Now consider Joseph, first it was his brothers, then it was Potiphar's wife, but through it all, he always knew he had to "leave it for God" and as he did, we all can see God didn't disappoint.

Romans 12:19 - Again, my loved ones, do not seek revenge; instead, allow God’s wrath to make sure justice is served. Turn it over to Him. For the Scriptures say, “Revenge is Mine. I will settle all scores”[VOICE].

You see, whenever you decide to "leave it for God", God makes sure you get paid. Now look at the life of those examples and ask yourself, would it have been possible for them to reward themselves the way God rewarded them? God is a just God, He serves justice all the time. When you hand matters over to Him, He executes Justice, and when you repay the person yourself, God's justice also means He can't get involved again else it would double jeopardy. Now, are you ready to "leave it for God"? God Bless You!

Do you know that God will never complain that your disturbance is too much even if you ask Him about every single detail of your life? Think about it, isn't that what lovers do? I'm sure you'd agree that when you are in a relationship with someone who hardly shares any part of their life with you, you begin to doubt if that person truly loves you. Likewise, what difference do you think it will make if you will only let God into all the details?

Proverbs 3:5-6 - Trust in and rely confidently on the Lord with all your heart And do not rely on your own insight or understanding.  In all your ways know and acknowledge and recognize Him, And He will make your paths straight and smooth [removing obstacles that block your way][AMP].

If the Bible says you should acknowledge the Lord in "all" your ways, then I want to believe that all actually means all. Don't forget that God is not asking you to do this because He just wants to make your life difficult. On the contrary, He says doing it will help smoothen your path through life because He'd clear out the obstacles. Hence, you can start a new walk with God from today, deciding that henceforth, you will acknowledge Him in all your ways. God Bless You!

Do you know that God didn't write the Bible to all of us, He actually wrote the entire Bible for YOU. What is the difference someone might ask. Well, when you think the Bible is written to all of us, there is a tendency for you to assume some sections of the Bible are might for some people while only certain sections applies to you, but when you know everything is written to you alone, then you can take instructions from every section.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 says - The whole Bible was given to us by inspiration from God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives; it straightens us out and helps us do what is right. It is God’s way of making us well prepared at every point, fully equipped to do good to everyone[TLB].

You see, every story and every character is actually a parable for your life and the different stages you'd go through. From the day you are born till the day your time on earth is done, every experience you'd have has already been mirrored in the Bible and Jesus died to ensure that the Bible is fulfilled in your life. Therefore, make that mental switch from seeing the Bible as a general document to a personal manual. You can only make the best of YOU when you follow the instructions of your maker, and all these are stated in your Bible. God Bless YOU!

Anchor Song: I Surrender

If today, you get an unshakable assurance that come 2019, you would the next president of Nigeria, do you think there's any temptation that would be strong enough to make you commit fraud between now and then? Even if you've never been the straight forward type, from the moment you get that assurance of such a lofty promise, you'd never want to do anything that could jeopardize the promise. So may I ask, what are you willing to sacrifice now just to preserve that future that you see/seek?

I'd like to believe that Joseph must have thought about Potiphar's wife's offer when she started to give him the "green lights",  weighed it against the dreams God had given to him and decided it wasn't worth it. He must have been so convinced that God's promise was worth so much much more that he was willing to suffer undue punishment that to preserve the dream he had seen.

You see, just like life doesn't support vacuum, I believe we are also not wired to just sacrifice or give up something we really want without having something better in view. The 4 Hebrew boys didn't just give up their portion of the menu from the king's table for nothing, I believe they were convinced they were getting something more valuable in return.

Hebrews 12:2 - Keep your eyes on Jesus, our leader and instructor. He was willing to die a shameful death on the cross because of the joy he knew would be his afterwards; and now he sits in the place of honor by the throne of God[TLB]. Even Jesus, didn't come to die on the cross for nothing, He knew what He will get afterwards will be worth all the suffering and pain he'd have to go through.

Therefore, if indeed you have seen a future so bright that you know only God can make it happen through you, the question I'd like to ask you is, what are you willing to give up to get it? God Bless You!

It's easier to believe you are valuable when life has been good to you, in fact, people would most probably find it easy to find you valuable. However, believing you have value after multiple setbacks or disappointments can be difficult, but, I must tell you, even after several failures, you are still valuable.

Think about it, some items are valued based on their purity e.g gold. The purer they are, the more valuable they are perceived to be. However, that's not the only form of value there is. For example, some art works are just a masterful combination of junks, yet when put together, the same useless junks now worth millions.

Last year, a painting by a Nigerian born artist was sold for $1.1 in London, another painting from another artist was sold here in Lagos for 46M naira. These paintings are not so valuable because they were painted using special paints or brushes, but because of the techniques and creativity of the painter. Likewise, even if you consider your life to be a pile of junk, in the hand of God, it is the perfect resource for a masterpiece.

Psalms 126:1 - It seemed like a dream, too good to be true, when God returned Zion’s exiles[MSG].

Therefore, no matter who you are and what your experience has been, there so much value in you and God can't wait to show you off to the world. God Bless You!

Anchor Song: Through Christ

Each believer has received a gift that manifests the Spirit’s power and presence. That gift is given for the good of the whole community - 1 Corinthians 12:7[VOICE]. According to the preceding verse, each believer, which means you and I and everyone that has confessed Jesus as their lord and saviour has received a gift from God, but why everyone?

Just think about it, why would God bother to give you a gift at all if it's just going to be a decoration in your life. If the manifestation of the Spirit is meant for just ministers i.e Pastors, teacher, apostles, evangelists, etc, then why bother giving that manifestation to everybody? This suggests that while everyone might not have been called to the ministry as we know it, everyone has been called to an assignment that requires the manifestation of the Spirit.

Therefore, I believe Apostle Peter must have gone back to preach to his former colleagues in the fishing business and I believe some of them must have given their lives to Christ. So, while the manifestation of the Spirit in Peter helped him in his apostolic work, the manifestation of the spirit in his former colleagues too would have been see in their fishing business. Likewise, Matthew the tax consultant would have also gone back to minister to his colleagues, and when they received the Spirit, He must have manifested in their career.

Hence, you don't have to be a Pastor, teacher, preacher or prophet for the Spirit to manifest in you. If it was given to every man, then it means every man needs it. If you are born again, then you have the Spirit in you, but has He found an expression in you, or you just like Him dormant? God Bless You!
