INSIGHT FOR PERFECT CONNECTION

   Abram learnt one great lesson in Genesis 13:1-18 of how to work out prosperity and victory the kingdom way. This is the principle of mature insight. This is learning to view issues from God's perspective. This is the principle that makes bad and bitter situations good, because you chose to see God and greatness in those situations.


   Abram had the responsibility of seeing for himself what he believed about his future. God was not to do this for his. Note what Abram did in verse 4. He revisited the place of his first altar and worshiped God there. That was undoubtedly the foundation for the kind of insight that would change his life forever! Therefore, Abram got the courage to ask lot to choose the portion of the land he preferred. That was definitely not human.


   Like Abram, every look for perfect connection entails:

(a) From where you are, learn to lift up your eyes. It means look above the present levels and limits in every    area of your life.


(b) Let the look be in respect of each area of your life. Dream big and attainable dreams in respect of each of those areas.


(c) Then take a faith walk! Do what you should do to induce the testimony. It could be by faith confessions, seed faith, contacts, hard work, etc.


I pray the God of all GRACE even before He gives you the blessing of Abraham to give you the FAITH of Abraham that the blessing might flow without ceasing in Jesus mighty name, AMEN.

Only Through the Cross

“We have freedom now, because Christ made us free.” Galatians 5:1 
Some teach that we earn God’s favor by what we know (intellectualism). Others insist we are saved by what we do (moralism). Still others that salvation is determined by what we feel (emotionalism). 

However you package it, Paul contests, . . . salvation comes only through the cross—no additions, no alterations.

THE TRUTH


“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6, NKJV

Jesus leaves us with two options. Accept him as God or reject him as a megalomaniac. There is no third alternative . . .

Call him crazy or crown him as king. Dismiss him as a fraud or declare him to be God. Walk away from him or bow before him, but don’t play games with him. Don’t call him a great man. Don’t list him among decent folk . . . He is either God or godless. Heaven sent or hell born. All hope or all hype. But nothing in between.
