Rhythm of Faith

Location! Location! Location! The one thing we consider when buying a home or a starting a business is location. If you leave far from the town,a lot of places and amenities will not be readily available. You spend more to get your kids to a good school, you have to travel to get good medical care etc but when you live in town, you have them at your fingertips.  If you start a business and you open a shop in a bad location or in a place that inaccessible. You will hardly make a profit. Location is everything! Being at the right place and the right time will prevent you from missing life changing opportunities. David understood the benefits of being at the right place at the right time. He understood the value of location and so he says in  Psalm 16:11 " In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore" The Psalmist says in Psalm 27:4" One thing I have desired of the Lord, That will I seek: That I may dwell in ...

December! The Revelation Month December to me is a month of gratitude! Not because i have not been grateful to God throughout the year but because December is like the end of another long journey. It is an "Oh I Thank You Lord Month! December to me is like a race with hurdles and i have crossed all the hurdles and the finish line is right before me. December is like a mountain climbing experience where i am just a step away from cresting the mountain. December is the last chapter in a book,the book of revelations in the bible.  December is revelation month! A month where we look back and realize that there were a great deal of suprises this year. Some good, some bad! It is a month that  reveals to us our physical ,mental and spiritual growth. I look back and i realize that i am still standing by Gods grace. Unshaken! Unmoved! Not because the devil did not try but because Our God is Faithful!. Not because i have been faithful,good or deserving but beca...

Be Wise As a Serpent! “Jesus said also to the people, “When you see a cloud coming up in the west, at once you say that it is going to rain—and it does. And when you feel the south wind blowing, you say that it is going to get hot—and it does. Hypocrites! You can look at the earth and the sky and predict the weather; why, then, don't you know the meaning of this present time?  Luke‬ ‭12:54-56‬ ‭GNT‬‬ Clouds show us that rain or a storm is coming and then we begin to prepare. When we do not respond to signs and signals that God shows us. We loose out, things seem as if they have gotten out of control and we begin to wonder about the goodness of God.  It is Gods business to show us signs, it is our business to respond effectively. Jesus said that there will be signs to show his second coming. ““Be careful not to let yourselves become occupied with too much feasting and drinking and with the worries of this life, or that Day may suddenly catch you” ‭‭Luke...

Make Your Trial A GIft James 1:2-4 “Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way.” I do not know how to count a trial as a gift but the bible says we should consider trials a sheer gift not just any gift but a SHEER one! Sheer means nothing but.  This means that our trials that should make us weep and ask "why me? is what we are to count as nothing but a gift. I understand though that even though trials are difficult, it produces results that we may otherwise never see. Gods greatest concern is for the soul of Man. That was why He sent His only son and it is for this same reason that God asks us to consider trials as gifts. You can never get the true taste of a teabag except you steep it ...

‭ A Miracle that is Far From A Miracle. ‭‭I Samuel‬ ‭24:6-7‬  In 1 Samuel 24,we read that Saul and his men were on a manhunt. They were searching for David to kill him because David was on the run. But something happens that seems like a miracle but really wasn't. This man that is trying to kill David all of sudden comes to relieve himself at the mouth of the cave where David was hiding with his men. Coincidence? I don't think so! David's Soldiers saw a perfect opportunity to get rid of their biggest problem Saul but David rejected their advice and said " God forbid I should stretch my hand against Gods anointed".  T I learn a lot about this situation. As far as the eye could see it was a perfect time, a perfect miracle! It seemed like God dropped Saul right into David's lap. God had already promised David the throne so David could have helped God speed up the process by killing Saul. However, David knew that even though this seemed like ...

Like Me! Don't Like Me! I need you to answer this question. Do you want every single person in the world to love you? Like every man, woman , child even animals just see you and love you! I'm sure everyone wants that but I am sorry to disappoint you but ITS IMPOSSIBLE! Like ABSOLUTELY ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE! We cannot please everyone but that doesn't matter but We can please God and that is where the true value is! We can never be blessed and fulfilled by being the most likable person on earth but We can be immensely blessed both on earth and in heaven by God! The world tries to sell us that we need fame. We crave likes on our Instagram page, Facebook and all kinds of social media. We put up pictures and videos and wait for people to like. The more likes we get the more joyous we are! We seek approval from the world. We want the world to love us!. We keep wondering what people think about our hair, our car, our life, our kids!. Set yourself free!it really doesn't ...

I AM MYSTERIOUS! I am mysterious! I am a Terrorist! I eat flesh and drink blood! I am an Overcomer! Everything about the Kingdom of God is mysterious. Our Angels who are assigned to minister to us cannot be seen but they are there. We feed on the flesh and blood of our Master Jesus when we take communion. We as Christians are drinkers of the blood and eaters of the precious blood and body of Christ. We eat spiritual food that is greater than any spiritual food even that of witches and wizards. 1 Tim3:16: And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. Satan has told us lies to make us afraid. He tries to get us to believe he is a mystery that he knows everything about us. That is not true!.   We are the mysterious beings. The bible says in 1 Corinthians 2:16  "Who can know the LORD's thoughts? Who knows enoug...

Write Your Challenge a Sympathy Letter! Imagine if Nigeria were to go into battle with Russia or China. We do not need a soothsayer to tell us that  Nigeria will be defeated. Nigeria lacks the military might that Russia and China have. I do not believe that Nigeria can lay claim to even a single nuclear warhead. To fight Boko Haram ( a Nigerian rebel force), we need international assistance. This tells us that in a war situation, Nigeria will not stand the hope of a chance. Then imagine that as weak as Nigeria is, Japan, Germany or the United States comes out and declares that they are solidly behind Nigeria. All of a sudden,Nigeria's victory is almost assured because we are now being backed by Nation with greater military might. Our hope of victory changes, we even begin to brag because we have great confidence in the nation backing us. Russia then begins to fear that they might be defeated and might begin to regret. The whole situation changes. Then imagine further that Nig...

There were once two men, and each needed to build a house. The first man was foolish, and chose to build on sandy soil where it was easy to access and easy to dig the foundations. In a few short weeks he was almost finished. The second man was wise, and chose to build his house on a rocky hill, where it was very hard to access and to dig the foundation. He spent many months building his house. As time passed a huge storm broke upon the houses of these men. After much rain, a flood swept through the valley and the man's house that was built on the sand was swept away. But the second man who had built on the rocky hill was safe. No matter how hard it rained or how fierce the floods were his house remained solid and immovable. Let's ask ourselves the question. What's the foundation of our life? Are we like the foolish man, are our lives built on sand? The story above is from the Matthew 7:24-27 where the Bible says: Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mi...

Why is it that many people in this world today, live their entire lives searching for something..... yet never finding it? What is it that they are searching for? It is Contentment. Many people live their entire lives trying to find contentment, yet they have a miserable existence. Why is this so? Lets see what the Bible says....... 1 Timothy 6:4-5 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. Here the Bible is describing ungodly people, who are proud etc... but notice in verse 5: 1 Timothy 6:5 "supposing that gain is godliness" So who is the God in the lives of these pe...
