JUST PREPARE THE MEAL...ITS ALL I NEED...

“So he [Elijah]went to Zarephath. When he came to the town gate, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and asked, ‘Would you bring me a little water in a jar so I may have a drink?’  As she was going to get it, he called, ‘And bring me, please, a piece of bread.’  ‘As surely as the Lord your God lives,” she replied, “I don’t have any bread—only a handful of flour in a jar and a little olive oil in a jug. I am gathering a few sticks to take home and make a meal for myself and my son, that we may eat it—and die.’ Elijah said to her, ‘Don’t be afraid. Go home and do as you have said. But first make a small loaf of bread for me from what you have and bring it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son. For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: “The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the Lord sends rain on the land.’” - 1 Kings 17:10-14

This is a story of obedience, faith, and provision, but there’s a backstory that you need to know. Because of his courage in telling the truth, Elijah had become a very unpopular man in Israel. So, God sent him away into the wilderness for a time of rest and testing. He took him to a place by a brook where God met his physical needs. Birds brought Elijah food every day, and the brook provided him water.

After a while, however, the brook dried up because there was no rain. As you can imagine, Elijah was a little surprised and probably thought, “Okay, God, what do I do now? I have to have water to survive!” (Now, remember, God doesn’t always meet our needs for tomorrow, today. He always meets our needs for tomorrow, tomorrow. So, God told Elijah to go to a specific place where he would find food and water.

He went to a gate and found a woman gathering sticks and asked if she would get him a drink of water. She immediately went to get him the water when he added, “While you’re at it, please bring me a piece of bread…” In light of this poor woman’s situation, she could have thought, “The audacity of this guy!” But she told him she was in the process of preparing what was to be the very last meal for her and her son, and then there would be nothing left, and they would die. She lived in poverty. She was a single mom. Single parenting is not a new thing. Women have been raising families alone and in poverty for centuries. But she trusted God and gave all that she had to the man of God—and God blessed her by multiplying the food in her cupboard so that she and her son would never be without because of it. In the process, He continued to bless Elijah by meeting his physical and material needs to be able to survive.

This biblical story teaches us how much God cares for us. God cared for the prophet. He cared for this poor single mom. He cares for all of us. Our role is to put our trust in Him and be willing to put our faith into action…to just go and “bake our bread,” so to speak, do the best we can today, and leave the rest to Him. Elijah trusted God and was fed. The poor single mom trusted God through Elijah, and her needs were met.  The greater the need – the greater the blessing. Trust Him to meet your needs, and He will.

HOW TO PRAY - #72hoursnonstop and #FridayKesha

Prayer is not just a religious activity but it is a spiritual lifestyle that involves communicating with God and receiving an answer. Although many people are familiar with the topic, yet many still do not understand how to go about it. It feels like a mystery to them.

Praying is not complicated and you don’t need to be an expert in order to start. You can begin from where you are till praying becomes as easy as breathing. Here are six simple points on prayer:

1: You don’t need to use big English words in order to pray. Prayer doesn’t have to be complicated. You can still tell God what your desires are in simple English, mother tongue or even in spiritual songs that relate to your need of prayer 

2: Your ability to pray is dependent on how much of God’s word you know. Many people say they cannot pray for long because they do not know how to pray. If you want to improve your prayer life then you must improve your word life. Because prayer is based on God’s word. Whenever you go before God, you go to Him with His Word. Because God responds only to His Word. If what you are asking doesn’t align with His Word, surely you will not get the answers you are looking for. Secondly, the more you study God’s word, the more you able to pray accurately and fluently.

3: Whenever you pray, pray in faith. The Scriptures tell us that without faith it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). Note that it didn’t say without prayer it is impossible to please God. Therefore, prayer void of faith doesn’t please God. You can’t come before God asking Him to do or to give you something, and not be confident that He is able to do it. Your prayer must always be founded on faith.

4: When you pray be definite about what you want. Many people just make general requests. For example, asking God you want a house is vague or too general. What kind of house do you want? Where do you want it located? What should it contain? So telling God you want a 6-bedroom house, situated at Kileleshwa is a much more specific prayer. When you are specific it is easier to know when God answers your prayer. So be specific when you pray.

5: When you pray, expect and receive your answer. Jesus said in Mark 11:24, “Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.” Jesus is saying when you pray, believe that you have received what you are asking for. It doesn’t take God years to give you an answer. Every time you appear before Him with a request, He answers. One thing to point out is this: God is a Spirit. Therefore, when you pray, His response will first happen in the spirit realm. So when you ask God for something, you have to believe you have the answer. When you hold on to what you have received, that is when over time it manifests in the natural. So believing you have received precedes the physical manifestation of your request.

6: Pray daily! The more you pray, the more you strengthen your prayer muscles. Muscles become weak over time when subjected to lack of use. Therefore, the more you pray, the more comfortable you become with it. Don’t only pray when you are in a crisis. Learn to pray to God at all times no matter the situation. Are we together on this?

These are a few points on prayer. If you have any questions please feel free to ask them in the comment section below.

WHO IS A FRIEND OF JESUS? - #WORDPOWER WITH Pst. Steve O. Adek

MUST WATCH! POWERFUL SERMON : LET IT RAIN - PST STEVE OMODECX ADEK

CHRISTIANITY WITHOUT REPENTANCE ISNT CHRISTIANITY.

GOD IS USING ME, SO HE MUST BE HAPPY WITH ME....?? No way! 

Wrong!! The fact that God is using you, says nothing about Him being pleased with your life.  You see, the Bible says, Gifts and Callings are without repentance,(Romans 11:29) in other words, God does not revoke your gift, He gives you a gift and that’s it.  He will never revoke that gift, under no circumstance. More reason why God will deny many who came in His name. 

So many men and women of God that have a gift of preaching and prophecy etc have come to a place where they believe that Just because God is using their gifts, God is happy with them and hence many have stopped really  walking introspect, trusting God for every step they take. 

Sadly some no longer really have a burden for the lost souls, but wallets, cars and material possessions have become the main focus. Many have stopped caring in their hearts and have gone on to defraud people their monies, manipulated the people’s minds into giving even their last pennies in the name of "God demands you sow a seed"..,Many have lived unclean immoral lives in their private spaces and yet assume, just because when they pick up the Microphone, anointing comes, the “spirit moves”, the sick get delievered etc, You think that God is pleased with us if we live so? Well.....

God will continue to use the gift, and you could be far from God as Egypt is from India.  You can see mighty things done in your ministries, and deceive yourselves that God is pleased with you. But Remember 

Matthew 7:22,  “Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?”

Who are these "many" people that say Lord we have prophecied(preached) in your name, we were having deliverance services, and we did wonders in your name?  These are people we call Men and Women of God.  The Lord Jesus says, Many. Many of these will come to him.  How much is many?? MANY means MANY!!.  So, if you have seen mighty things in your ministry, let that not be a yardstick that you use that God is pleased with you.  Let us search our hearts daily, our motives, our private lives.. when no one is looking, our thoughts.., there will no be any short cut to heaven for us, just  because we have a “Gift”, or we started a ministry, raised the dead, healed the blind.  I can raise the dead every day of my life and still go to hell!!  Gifts and callings are without repentance.  Let not our gifts blind us to the truth and the seriousness of this Gospel.

Repentance in totality is what made God call David a man after His heart ♥!
