Legacy Series

Case in point: Exodus 14. So, the Israelites have recently left Egypt, on their way to the land God promised them. Then all of a sudden, Pharaoh 'comes to his hardened senses' and decides to pursue them. The Israelites look back and realize they are in the middle of the 'devil and the deep blue sea'. What next? They begin to do the very thing most of us would have done: Complain (Point number 1). You see, we are so 'dedicated' to complaints as though our complaints have the power to change anything or have ever helped anyone. Notice that their complaints do not change anything. Rather, Moses boldly tells them to 'stand and see the salvation of the Lord'. More like 'stop complaining; be quiet and watch God work wonders'. Lesson one: Stop complaining! Now, I guess at the time Moses was making those declarations, he was frantically praying in his heart that God will not put him to shame because the next thing God says is, "Why are yo...

Hey! Hey!! Hey!!! Welcome again to Legacy Series! I'm delighted to have you here, and I'm sure you will be blessed again today. While studying my Bible during the week, my attention was drawn to something with respect to the life of father Abraham. Abraham trusted God with his life. He was so confident in God and His faithfulness. He was so sure that even if Isaac had been sacrificed, God would raise the boy again because of His promises concerning Isaac. He trusted every word God had said without any iota of doubt. However, God also trusted Abraham! In Gen. 22, you would see that Isaac knew the procedure for offering sacrifices... He knew everything that was required for the sacrifice. How, you may ask? His father had taken the time to teach Him. I can imagine that Abraham, knowing that Isaac was the heir God had ordained for him, would take the young boy to all of his sacrifices and fellowships with God, so Isaac would learn. In one place, God said I trust Abraham...

Welcome again! So, today, we will talk just a little about worship, after which I will leave you with something special ;) Just one thing I want us to note: Worship isn't just about singing songs that provoke our emotions or singing "slow" songs as some people think. Rather it is about being living sacrifices on the altar for  God (Romans 12:2). Hence, worship constitutes a lifestyle that brings glory to Jesus. You can now see that it goes beyond just singing songs that many of us do not really mean; it's about your prayer life, your study, your fasting, your relationships, your words, thoughts and deeds (Luke 2:37). It constitutes just about everything that pertains to our lives. So, the next time you think about worship, think beyond worshiping God via music. Think about the state of your heart before God. Think about your life of daily sacrifice before God. This doesn't stop you from worshiping God with music and songs rather, it makes you do it less reli...

Welcome to the month of March!!! If you have read through the Old Testament, you would find out that what was predominant among the Israelites was the fear of God. (Gen 20:11, Exo. 1:17, 1 Chron. 16:25, Job 1:1 etc) Ah! The people feared God! By fear, I mean the kind of feeling you have when you’ve just been caught after doing something terrible. It’s a terrified feeling. That’s the kind I’m talking about here. But you see, this kind of relationship is limited; very limited. That’s why you find out that the Israelites kept returning to their vomit. Asides the fact that they had not been empowered to live above sin as the Holy Spirit was only upon a few people, their ‘fearful relationship” with God was a great hindrance to them. On the other hand, the New Testament shows us a better way around our relationship with God; the more excellent way. LOVE. A Christian who has only recently given his/her life to Christ may begin at the stage of the fear of God however, if h...
