Medicine is a professional discipline having different specialties. To rise to the status of a Specialist in medicine you must undergo some professional exams plus minus a residency training. This is the usual career path in medical practice.

As a young doctor I started asking questions about administration and management in Health. This is not a common pathway for doctors to rise to the top. But as far as I could see, clinical practice wasn’t my thing. Yes! I prayed, prayed and followed my heart, glad I did.

Generally, success is defined by power, wealth or prestige. People reckon you as successful if you have made good enough profit to be considered wealthy, if you occupy a position of power or if you have earned or become conferred with a prestigious role.

Often there is a lot of emphasis on hard-work, sharpening skills, grooming talents more than on chasing one’s passion, especially if such passion has not been known to bring prestige, power or profit.

In this blogpost series, we’ll be exploring ‘ways of increase with God’. And we’ll be answering some key questions as we go along; ‘should a Christian rely solely on God’s grace and not work hard?.’ ‘Is the message of prosperity as popularly preached in some Christian circles unrealistic?’ We’ll also look at essential Christian virtues for sustained divine increase, as well as enumerate killers of increase/growth in a Christian’s life.

The first way of divine increase with God to consider is;

1. Service

Service is a springboard to success and greatness. Service simply means doing something for others voluntarily or for a fee.

Eight years ago, I was randomly selected by the Commissioner of Health in my State to work in a committee with top shots in the healthcare sector at the time. Then I was appointed the welfare officer. Being the youngest member of the committee (in every sense) the greatest challenge I faced servng in that role was insisting that members earned their stipends. I acquired enemies that tried to hunt me many years later ?. But that’s not all that happened, many months on, one of the older ladies in the group, picked me to work with her as part of the management team in a newly established health board, a role that brought me to limelight in that area of healthcare delivery in the State. Years later, she said she chose me because of my dedication, hardwork and commitment as welfare officer in that committee we worked together at the time.

God deals with His children in different ways. As a Christian, God may endue you with strength and wisdom to serve and He provides opportunities for you to climb the next rung of the ladder by putting your gifting to use through serving.

The kind of service that would pull from your strength and gifting and bring divine increase will have to be selfless, conscientious, plus or minus an immediate or obvious personal gain. This can be service to humanity; done out of the fear of the Lord, or service done to God as an act of gratitude or show of love.

Our example of selfless service from the Bible is Joseph. As a mature man at 30 years, Joseph began serving in the court of Pharaoh the King of Egypt. The story of Joseph the son of Jacob spans over many chapters of the first book of the Bible, Genesis. We’ll look at a few;

“Joseph was thirty years old when he entered the service of Pharaoh King of Egypt. And Joseph went out from Pharaoh’s presence and travelled throughout Egypt.” Genesis 41:46. NIV

“The Lord was with Joseph so that he prospered and lived in the house of his Egyptian master. When his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord gave him success in everything he did, Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Portiphar put him in charge of his household and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. Genesis 39:2-5. NIV

If you are reading this blogpost and you are currently serving an ‘Egyptian master’ I urge you to stay where God has planted you because therein lies your increase. Or at least spend good time in prayer asking God’s direction before jumping out. God does not make mistakes. You may just be on a divine mission just like Joseph. Your service could be God’s opportunity to you to spring to the top for His divine purpose.

Interestingly, another person we see in the Bible that had great resilience for service is Jacob, Joseph’s father. Jacob served to get the love of his life, Rachel.

“So Jacob served seven years to get Rachel, but they seemed like only a few days to him because of his love for her.” Genesis 29: 20. NIV

Indeed, service can buy you prestige, power, profit as well as take care of your passion 🙂

In the next part of this blogpost series, we’ll look at key virtues for divine increase, some of which Joseph possessed.

Stay with me.

I have been truly blessed writing and meditating on this blogpost series. It is absolutely exciting to be reassured of God’s faithfulness, His mercy and His Integrity to keep His promises. The peace Jesus Christ already won for me is further cemented by the knowledge of these 3 truths about God….attributes that are inherent and intrinsic to God and that will never change. Halleluyah!

We have looked at;

1. The Lord our God is Faithful, meaning that He is dependable, reliable and trustworthy.

2. The Lord our God is Merciful, meaning that He does compassionate, gracious and forgiving.  In fact, Jehovah is RICH in mercy which is an offshoot of His Goodness. The Lord is GOOD always and His mercy is everlasting and brand new every morning.

And today we end this series looking at the third attribute of Jehovah we need to know as His children..;

3. Know that The Lord Your God is a Covenant-Keeper.  

Scripture reference has been:

 “Therefore know that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments.” Deuteronomy 7: 9  NKJV. 

Covenant is an agreement, contract, treaty, pact or deal. A covenant brings about a relationship of commitment between 2 people.

From the Bible we see that God made a covenant with Abraham, Isaac, David and Moses (1 Chronicles 16:16, Psalms 78:37). He also confirmed the Oath He made Isaac to Jacob (1 Chronicles 16:17).

Jehovah takes His covenant seriously. Yeah, that is something to know. He valued His covenant to Abraham, David, Jacob, etc and He stayed committed to it. God remembers His covenant.

“I have made a covenant with my Chosen, I have sworn to My servant David.”  Psalm 89:3

“then I will remember My covenant with Jacob, and My covenant with Isaac and My covenant with Abraham I will remember; I will remember the land.”  Leviticus 26:42

Someone may be asking; ‘when did I sign any agreement with God and what are my entitlements’? Yes, we did enter into an agreement with God the day we gave our lives to Jesus Christ.

“Gather My saints together to Me, those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.” Psalms 50:5

Through His sacrifice, Christ traded His Righteousness for our sins at Calvary. He received stripes on His body to purchase our Healing. He was chastised for our Peace. He willed All the powers God gave Him over to us post resurrection to enable us do exploits. He made us More-than-Conquerors and we have Victory at all times and in every situation by Faith.

Knowing these attributes and being confident of them is a great anchor of faith for Believers in Christ Jesus.   God WATCHES over all His promises made to us and He is committed to performing EVERY SINGLE one of them.

So what is that problem staring you in the face? What is that situation? Turn it anyway you like, analyse it anyway that makes natural sense. Yes, tell me how big it is. Tell me how terrible it looks.

But please allow me also tell you that Jehovah has done everything in one single sacrifice to ensure every mountain in your life becomes a plain.

Confidently and Assuredly I say to you, God’s faithfulness, mercy and integrity guarantees you a great package. Trust Him!

 

The FLESH & the SPIRIT.

“And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word…and Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judea…” 
Luke 1:38-41

“And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word…..and Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judea……and it came to pass, that when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe in leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost.”  Luke 1:38-41

The WORD 

Have you ever wondered about words? Words make the world go round. Whether written or spoken, we communicate our thoughts, emotions and feelings through words.

In Genesis, God teaches us the power of words. Words Create!

God created the whole word through words. God created light, day, night, water, sky, land, seas, vegetation, sun, moon, stars, living creatures in the seas and on the land, human beings (male and female).

Wow! Wow!! Wow!!!

I proudly present to you, My Father….. Master Creator, with awesome imaginative abilities, excellent conception and display of beauty, wonderful display of power without gimmicks. My Father is self-sufficient in Himself! And my Father created All things through Words, and faith in His Words.

All the miracles of Jesus Christ were performed via words. He healed the sick and raised the dead through words. And He tells us we can move mountains through words;

“…for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’, and it will move..” Matthew 17:20

Let’s see what Words got for Mary.. 🙂

Mary listened attentively to Michael. And received (conceived) all Michael said to her, then walked away, merrily.

The Bible doesn’t tell us that Mary consulted a doctor or midwife to confirm if she was pregnant after seeing Michael. Instead, we’re introduced to a ‘blessed fruit of Mary’s womb’ (Luke 1: 42).

Pause…

How did Elisabeth know the things that Michael said to Mary? Elisabeth wasn’t with Mary at the time, and Elisabeth has given Mary no time at all to ‘gist’ her of her encounter with Michael. Elisabeth spoke and prophesied as soon as Mary stepped into her home.  That’s the pregnancy test Mary needed. She was indeed pregnant, just as the Lord said to her through Michael.

Question: What did Michael give to Mary?

The Word!

Question: And what did Mary conceive?

A Child!

God is His Word. When we speak God’s word into a situation, we introduce/put God in it. And when we receive or believe God’s word we conceive God in us. And God in us can became anything we receive the Word as because God’s word is life, health, power, spirit….

“....the words that I speak to you are spirit and they are life.”  John 6: 63

“My son, give attention to my words; incline your ears to my sayings ……for they are life to those who find them and health to all their flesh.” Proverbs 4:20

Mystery #2: Mary received The Word and conceived a Child. The Word creates. I can create anything my faith can believe for. I can move mountains through my words. 

 

 

 

 

“… ‘Hail, thou that art highly favored, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. And when she saw, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said unto her, ‘Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with God. And behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb and bring forth a son and shalt call his name JESUS.”    Luke 1: 28-31 KJV. 

 

MARY

How does a young virgin respond to being told by a man she’s meeting for the first time that she has found favor with God?

Michael sure didn’t look like an angel when he appeared to Mary. No! he came to her in human form; as a man.

Flip that scene to today’s realities; a good-looking man walks up to a young naïve and innocent Mary declaring that she’s found favor with God….? Chances are that Mary could smile sheepishly, blushing all over considering her naïvety and gentle nature, or she could blow her tops, wishing he never appeared anywhere in her vicinity again.

In today’s world, not many top-level women get to prestigious positions through sheer brilliance, creativity or hard work.  Not many get there because they’re innocent, naïve and gentle. If you got the  charms, use it or burn with your brains and talents.

That is not the case for a select distinct group of persons who received a blessed Jesus born by a highly favored and blessed Mary. Ask Elizabeth about how favor permeated the air to reach her from a favored Mary such that she became filled with the Holy Ghost and prophesied (Luke 1: 41-43).  Jesus Christ is no longer in Mary’s womb, no! He lives in us. We are blessed and highly favored.

Favored means to be treated or thought of with greatness, preference or partiality. Having special gifting, talents and advantages. Privileged.

Oh! I proclaim that because I received Jesus Christ as Lord and Master over my life, I am blessed, highly favored, greatly gifted and talented. God is bias in my favor and He thinks of me with greatness because I am an offspring of a Great God. He is partial towards me and so I am constantly being preferred in the things that line up with His will and plan for my life.

Thank You Faithful Father.

Mystery #1: A greatly blessed child born of a highly blessed and favored mother got me great favor and blessings! 

 

Welcome back again!

First, I have to apologize for the much delay in delivering Part 3 of this blogpost series. Thank you for your pardon  🙂

We ended the Second Part discussing one of the ethical and inherent attributes of God as we have considered in this blogpost series…: “Know that the Lord Your God is Faithful.

Our reference scripture has been;

“Therefore know that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments.” Deuteronomy 7: 9  NKJV.

Today, we look at another inherent attribute of Jehovah:

“Know that The Lord Your God (Jehovah) is Merciful”. 

There are so many scriptures in the Bible that speak of God as merciful. Let’s look at a few to help us understand the meaning and relevance of God being merciful.

“The Lord is merciful and gracious. Slow to anger and abounding in mercy“. Psalm 103:8

“for the Lord your God is a merciful God, He will not forsake you nor destroy you nor forget the covenant of your fathers which He swore to them” Deuteronomy 4:31

“For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting and His truth endures to all generations.” Psalms 100:5

“And the Lord passed him and proclaimed, ‘The Lord God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering and abounding in goodness and truth“. Exodus 34:6

“….You are a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger and abundant in loving-kindness, One who relents from doing harm“.  Jonah 4:2b

“It is of The Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassion fail not. They are new every morning: great is the faithfulness“. Lamentations 3:22-23.

From the above we see the following;

The Lord our God is merciful as an offshoot of His Goodness. Jehovah is GOOD and has no evil in Him. He is inherently good with no ability of doing evil or harm. Being merciful is a natural and expected offshoot of being good.

I wouldn’t want to boast of myself as being good, but because I have the nature of God, having being bought by the precious blood of Jesus Christ, and because the Spirit of the Lord is actively at work in me, I believe that my heart, nature, thoughts and actions are daily being transformed to display God’s goodness. More often now, people meet me and walk away with this impression; ….’Ah! Grace, you’re such a nice person’. In fact, my boss thinks I am too good to people and he seems to be saying that a lot these days. He says I am too quick to make excuses for the people who work with us.  That sounds like good news if you ask me,  especially because I am also often described as firm.  God is definitely at work in me. Halleluyah.

You cannot be good and not be merciful (selah).

Mercy speaks pardon. Mercy means forgiveness for wrongs. Mercy means relenting from doing harm even when it’s been earned. Mercy means doing good to someone who should ordinarily get nothing like good. Mercy compels us to love.

God is good and so being merciful is His inherent nature. Ephesians 2:4 tells us that;

“God, who is RICH in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us“.

Jesus Christ has eternally secured God’s mercy for us by his birth, death and resurrection. We are beneficiaries of the mercy of God because of His LOVE shown to us through Christ Jesus.

The mercy of God is EVERLASTING and it is NEW every morning. His mercy never runs dry. No!!!

So the next time you find yourself despondent from sin and wrongdoing, remember that God is Merciful and He is waiting with arms wide open to receive you the moment you forsake your wrongdoing and turn back to Him.

Jehovah is GOOD and merciful. His mercy is everlasting and brand new every morning.

Praise God.

 

 

Welcome back!

We ended the first part of this blogpost series listing the 3 ethical truths about Jehovah that every Christian must know.  That;

1. The Lord Your God (Jehovah) is Faithful.

2. The Lord Your God (Jehovah) is Merciful.

3. The Lord Your God (Jehovah) keeps Covenant.

We’ll look at one of these today.

Know that The Lord Your God is Faithful. 

From our discussions in the first part, this could easily read as: ‘Know that The God whom you have a relationship with is Faithful.’

What does it mean to be faithful?

Faithful means loyal, constant, steadfast. Unswerving adherence to a person, an oath or promise.

Also means dependability, devotion.

Implies long-continued fidelity to a pledge, a duty or obligation.

Those are simple dictionary definitions/descriptions of ‘faithful’

How does the Bible describe a ‘faithful God’?

Let’s look at a few scriptures….

“But (as surely as) God is faithful and means what He says, our message to you is not ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ (at the same time).  2 Corinthians 1:18. AMP.

“God is faithful (He is reliable, trustworthy and ever true to His promise-He can be depended on) and through Him you were called into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.”    1 Corinthians 1:9. AMP.

“Who made heaven and earth, The sea, and all that is in them, Who keeps truth and is faithful forever.” Psalm 146:6. AMP

“But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen you (setting you on a firm foundation) and will protect and guard you from the evil one.”                       2 Thessalonians 3:3. AMP.

“Faithful and absolutely trustworthy is He who is calling you (to Himself for your salvation) and He will do it (He will fulfill His call by making you holy, guarding you, watching over you and protecting you as His own).      1 Thessalonians 5:24. AMP.

“For I am the LORD, I do not change (but remain faithful to My covenant with you); that is why you, O sons of Judah, have not come to an end.” Malachi 3:6 AMP.

So when the Bible says to know that The Lord your God is faithful, it means to know that;

• He is reliable
• He is dependable
• He is trustworthy
• He is compassionate
• He means what He says
• He keeps His promises

Halleluyah!

And He shows His faithfulness in;

• Protecting you
• Guarding you
• Strengthening you
• Setting you on a firm foundation
• Making you holy
• Keeping all the promises He made you. Promises of health, prosperity, protection, peace, and all His Good and excellent promises seen in Deuteronomy 28:1-13, Psalm 103, Psalm 147:3, etc..

How does He do that?

By causing ALL things to work together for your Good….

“And we know (with great confidence) that God (who is deeply concerned about us) causes all things to work together (as a plan) for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose.” Romans 8:28

Beloved in Christ Jesus, you can trust absolutely in Jehovah.  Be confident that He is your God, and if He is your God, then rest assured of His protection. provision, guidance, promotion,  and His commitment to making good ALL His promises to you.

Jehovah is CAUSING all things to work together for your good.

Trust Him.

I woke up to a beautiful scripture this morning. A scripture with 3 profound/powerful truths about Jehovah that I thought I dare not keep to myself. If you are a Christian, then you need to know these attributes of Jehovah to maximize your experience of Him as God.

I have carefully chosen to qualify these truths as ‘Ethical’. We are probably conversant with ‘ethical’ referring to morals, principles of right or wrong, being in accordance with rules, standards or practice. In this post however, permit me to use ‘ethical’ as relating to principles, standards, and inherent characteristics. Jehovah your God thrives on these principles. They are His inherent attributes.

This is really exciting, isn’t it? that there are attributes of God that will NEVER ever change,…they are intrinsic part of who He is!

Here we go…….

“Therefore know that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments.” Deuteronomy 7: 9 NKJV.

Actually, there are 4 things to take out of this scripture, the first being a prerequisite to knowing the 3 that follow.

Number 1: Know that The Lord your God is God.

Did I hear you say; ‘Grace, what does that mean? That doesn’t make sense at all. “The Lord your God” is tautology!’

You’re absolutely right. That’s the way it sounds and it doesn’t make sense. Let’s look at that scripture again from The Message Translation:

“Know this: GOD, your God is God indeed, a God you can depend upon. He keeps His covenant of loyal love with those who love Him and observe His commandments for a thousand generations. ”

It says – God YOUR God is God Indeed!

First, He has to be YOUR God. There has to be a relationship between you and Him

Second, you need to know that He is God Indeed!

Who is a God?

Simple dictionary definition: “Supreme or ultimate reality. A Superhuman being or spirit worshiped as having power over nature or human fortunes. A deity.”

Now, there are many kinds of God. But the God referred to in Deuteronomy 7 above is Jehovah, the Hebrew God.

Psalm 83:18 describes Him as ‘the Most High’.

Jehovah, The Most High, is ‘God Your God’ when you choose Him as your One and Only God, love Him with all your heart and with all you have.

The next 3 things He wants you to know about Him:

Number 2: Know that The Lord Your God (Jehovah) is Faithful

Number 3: Know that The Lord Your God (Jehovah) is Merciful

Number 4: Know that The Lord Your God (Jehovah) keeps Covenant.

Why should we know Him as Faithful, Merciful and the One that Keeps Covenant? Of what benefit is this knowledge?

I’ll do 3 other blogposts on this topic and look at one of these intrinsic attributes of God in each blogpost.

Stay with me.

Welcome back again!

In part 2, we discussed God’s ‘1 man-1 woman plan’ for marriage. God gave Adam (AN ) Eve, not more than one woman. Eve must have therefore been built to adequately cater for Adam’s sexual needs.

Once again, I recently engaged 2 middle-aged men in a discussion to find out why men cheat on their wives. Below were their response:

1. Wives often claim they are tired and would rather rest than indulge
2. Wives ignore/abandon them and focus on the children
3. Wives pay little or no attention to personal care and their physical appearances and so are unappealing.
4. Some wives are terrible home-makers and the man only manages to sneak in, sleep and jump off as early as he cans.
5. Some wives are really troublesome and so unpleasant companions.

Interesting! Do you notice that from the man’s perspective, the woman is the trouble. These husbands have no role to play in their sexual experience with their wives!

I wonder what kind of responses wives would give about their husbands!

I enjoyed listening to these men talk, but wasted no time in telling them they have no excuse whatsoever to commit adultery.

And that’s exactly the problem. Some christian men unlike Joseph in the Bible, lack the fear of The Lord. They do not see sex outside of marriage as sin against God (their spouse and their own bodies). Their focus is on following their desires and quenching their passions.

Secondly, these men appeared oblivious of their role as heads of their homes.

Questions: Do you quickly and swiftly acquire another child because the one you have is not satisfying your fatherly yearnings? Do you abandon your faulty car and buy another simply because you entered it, put on the ignition and it just refused to move? Do you create a new ‘You’ ( a new individual) because your attempts at becoming successful in whatever area of life, proved abortive?

Then why would a man think that the solution to not being satisfied sexually by his spouse is to seek another woman?

Is it not possible that you are simply being controlled by unbridled and uncontrolled desires and passion?

Hey! my christian brother, you may be swimming in lust and accepting the simplest meaningless excuse.  Is it possible that if you invest the time, energy and commitment you make towards chasing another woman on your wife, that your relationship with her could be better?  Did you ever consider discussing your ‘sexual challenges’ with your wife? Did you ever mention to her that you are at the brink of adultery and you needed her attention and help? Or are you also like an elderly man i met recently who thinks women should not be made to feel too important otherwise they start misbehaving? PRIDE?

Think on these things beloved. Think on them.

How well do you rely on God to run your life/home? Do you allow God the slightest chance to be at WORK in you as seen in Philippians 2:13 (AMP)

For it is (not your strength, but it is) God who is effectively at work in you, both to will and to work (that is, strengthening energizing and creating in you the longing and ability to fulfill your purpose) for His good pleasure.”  

A selfless love of one’s wife as admonished by the Bible in Colossians 3:19, requires a denial of some of personal desires and wants. Consider for a second what your unfaithfulness and infidelity would mean to your wife…..you are not alone in this world oh! married man!

“Husbands love your wives (with an affectionate sympathetic, selfless love that always seeks the best for them) and do not be embittered or resentful toward them (because of the responsibilities of marriage).”

Brother, fear God, keep your marriage vows to honor your spouse, be selfless and seek mutual benefits for you and your spouse. One woman is what God gave man, and one woman is good enough.

Stay blessed and away from sin.

My love always..

You cannot serve The Lord Jesus Christ and Mammon.  Mammon represents anything a Christian values more than The Lord, and may include money, fame, status, material possessions, etc.

Value system is an individualistic concept and is greatly determined by one’s virtues or vices. People’s internal conception of what is good, useful, beneficial, desirable or important is entirely their prerogative. More often than not however, values are informed by aspirations, need for relevance, desire to make meaning out of life, want of material possessions and concerns about making ends meet (having food, drink, clothing, shelter etc).

For a Christian, it is expected that the Bible should majorly influence choices made (what is right or wrong) as will be ultimately reflected in actions taken. Jesus Christ recognized the importance of value system in informing our thoughts, words and actions. Little wonder then, He categorically stated in Matthew 6:24b; “…you CANNOT serve God and Mammon.”

“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and Mammon” Matthew 6:24 NKJV

It’s an all or null situation, ….and understandably so. Except of course we are dealing with the ‘christian’  described in James 1:6 as ‘a wave of the sea driven and tossed by every wind” ; a man who is unstable, unsteady and undecided about his beliefs and value system.

“…for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.” James 1:6b NKJV

The double-minded man described in James 1:6b has his answer from the Lord in the next verse of same scripture…he should not expect to receive anything from The Lord!

The Lord Jesus Christ admonishes us to keep worry far from us. Do not worry about food, drink, clothes and any other drivers of our decisions and choices. The Lord takes care of the jobless birds of the air, feeds and nourishes them. He clothes (most beautifully) the lilies and grass of the field.

The way I see it, worry and faith seem to be at extreme ends of a spectrum for a Christian. If you have faith in the ability and willingness of The Lord to meet all your needs, you won’t worry and your value system is unlikely to be twisted from Christ’s expectations.

So have faith in God for your daily needs!
