A Call for Action



(The words that I have spoken to you, they are spirit and are life, John 6:63, NASB)
Still on the matter, one of the reason the world is finding it difficult to grasp and accepts the message of salvation is because we have failed to live and acts the very word we preach and claim to profess. It becomes a mere propaganda in the eyes of the world until it is acted upon. 

The book of Acts 1:1 said thus…Jesus began to do and to teach.  We can see that our master the lord Jesus Christ preceded words by His actions. He didn’t just preach it, He lived the word. The word of God is meant to be lived and not just preached and taught alone. The world is tired of messages and words that has little or no connection to them instead they are interested on how we live and apply the word in our own lives. 

Jesus Christ lived the word He preached by ministering to the physical and emotional needs of those around Him even as He went about preaching and teaching the world about the kingdom of God.  The world could relate and connect with Him because they could see the proof of His words and confession in His deeds. We have so much reduced the message of salvation and God’s kingdom to a mere contest for lyrical verbosity to the sheer neglect for the actions that back it up.

Recently I recall sharing that Christianity is a testimony. How would men testify if you are not acting and living the word to render proof of your stewardship and obedience to the word.  

We all know that a verb is an action word so also is the word of God, it is not an abstracts concept, it is an experience that modifies and transmogrifies lives. There are abundant of the word but there is a scarcity of those truly living the word. The world is in dire need of the living word.

The call is for an action to live the word; it is not opportunity to promote self but a responsibility to promote the Kingdom of God.  GOD BLESS YOU.

Counter Productive Ambition

God, I am not trying to rule the roost, I don't want to be king of the mountains. I haven't meddled where I have no business or fantasized grandiose plans,  Psalm 131:1, (Message Bible) One of the projectiles of the kingdom of darkness against the modern day believer in these last days is the crisis of miscalculated and over-ambitious pursuit for our place in life and destiny. The idea is to set us up against God.  It manifest in the form of substituting the place of spirituality with the premises of carnality and vain human logic that amounts to Nought. We try in vain to skillfully apply the wisdom of the world to effects the manifestation of Divinity on earth. We also foolishly try to fast track the turn of events in our life with sheer disregard for div ine timing and the climax of it all amounts to frustration, self instigated  delay and destiny truncation. It is also counter productive. We must learn to pursue our ambition on the same pace with G...

Repairing the Breaches

Then Elijah said to all the People, “come near to me.” So all the people came near to him. And he repaired the altar of the Lord that was broken down.  (1 Kings 18:30, NKJV) A spiritual peek into the lives of the nations and that of men around us reveals ruins of broken down place of worship that has fallen into a state of disrepair and neglects. The personal and the cooperate prayer altars of men and nations has become broken down to the extents that they now qualify to be called museum of past encounter. The personal and cooperate altars of nation and individuals has become breached as a result of neglects and false worship. It has been become polluted by the offering of strange fires and the acts of falsehood by the people.  When the Altar of men are in disrepair, the lives of men become altered.  Until the altar of nations are fixed and repaired, the grip of darkness over the land would not be loosed. When the altar of the lord in the lives of...

Listening

"Now then, my sons, listen to me And do not depart from the words of my mouth." (Proverbs 5: 7) The hustling and the bustling in our world today has altered and transformed our relationship with God. It has become the noise that drowns and dwarves every voice that contains an express word for God's people.  We have become so used to the noise in the world that we have lost touch with the person of the Word (Jesus) speaking into our lives. The din of the noise emanating from the world has discounted the word that is meant expressly for us and for the high calling of God for our lives. We have missed so many key appointments in our spiritual calendar because of our inability to hear from God per time, per season! We mustn't fail to develop our own Listening Button as we go about the maze and the din of life and I see us overcoming the subtle trick of the devil in Jesus name Amen!  Monday Eleojo Paul #BeuHavi #DeepDevotionals #Listening ...
