How to Connect God’s Power to Your Dead Situation?

How to Connect God’s Power to Your Dead Situation?

Romans 8:11 says: “But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.”

Do you understand the power behind this verse? The same power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead is inside of you. That means whatever dead situation you are facing, whether in your body, marriage, career, or finances, the power inside you has the capability to bring life to it.

But here’s the question: How does that power inside you reach your dead situation?

God's Power

Genesis 1 says that in the beginning, the Earth was void and formless, and the Holy Spirit was hovering over the waters. But do you know that creation happened only when God spoke?

“Let there be light.” – The Word was released, the Holy Spirit caught it, and creation happened.

And, it is the same principle today.

Your words become the bridge through which the Spirit of God rushes into that dead situation. That is why the Bible says, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.” (Proverbs 18:21)

If you see a dead end in your job, speak life. If there is a negative report concerning your body, speak the Word of God over it. Don’t keep repeating what the doctor, bank, employer, or situation is saying.

When the angel told Zechariah that Elizabeth would have a son, the Word had already come. But instead of releasing a matching word of faith, Zechariah questioned it and was made mute until the promise was fulfilled. (Read Luke 1)

Your words matter!

God has already placed His Spirit inside you. You are one with Him. What more can God do?

Now look at every dead situation in your life. Maybe you feel stuck, confused, disappointed, or as though nothing is moving. Don’t accept that as your final portion.

The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is inside you. All you need to do is release it through your words.

Shalom.

Made a Mistake? This Changes Everything!

Made a Mistake? This Changes Everything!

In Genesis 20:11, Abraham says, “Because I thought, surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will kill me on account of my wife.”

Abraham looked around and saw a place where there was no fear of God. There was wickedness around him, people living according to what pleased them, with no regard for God. Out of that fear, Abraham made a mistake; he lied that Sarah was his sister, which caused Abimelek to take her away. (Gen 20:2)

investment

Yet, even in a place where there was no fear of God, and even when Abraham messed up, one thing did not change: he was still an investment of God, and God watches over His investment. God Himself encountered Abimelek and ensured Sarah was returned unharmed and with gifts!

That should give you courage and confidence.

You may be in a workplace, city, locality, or situation where there is no fear of God. You may even make mistakes along the way. But none of that changes the fact that you are an investment of God.

God is tracking His investment. His love is tracking you. His beautiful, good thoughts are tracking you.

God is a Good Investor!

Look through the Old Testament. In every generation, God invested in somebody. Abraham. Moses. David. And wherever His investment was, God showed up. He guarded and preserved His investment until all of it eventually produced a return: Jesus.

And look at the goodness of this Investor. When God received the greatest return, Jesus, He did not withhold Him. He reinvested Him.

Why? Because He had you and me in His mind.

God took that one Seed and sowed Him so that He could receive sons and daughters in His likeness.

Now, because we believe in Jesus, we have become a different kind of investment. We are not simply like Abraham, Moses, or David. Jesus Himself is now a part of us.

I am praying that your eyes will open to see the value you have in the eyes of God. You are God’s investment. Jesus is in you. You have held the hand of Jesus. And the direction before you is up, and never down.

Are You Letting God Direct Your Steps

Are You Letting God Direct Your Steps

There are two kinds of people: those who are eager to be directed by God and do His will, and those who go through life directing their own lives according to their own thoughts, beliefs, and emotions.

But the Bible reminds us in Jeremiah 10:23:

“O Lord, I know the way of man is not in himself;It is not in man who walks to direct his own steps.”

It’s not in us to direct our own steps. We need God. We need to depend on Him and seek His will and direction for our lives.

Direct my Steps

Acknowledge God in Every Area of Your Life

One way we seek God’s direction is by acknowledging Him.

Proverbs 3:5–6 says:

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.”

To acknowledge means “to admit the validity, authority, or truth of.” So, acknowledging God means recognising His existence and yielding to His authority in every area of our lives.

Recently, my mind was completely blocked at work. I had worked on the same kind of report before, but this time I felt stuck and couldn’t seem to do anything.

Suddenly, I realised that throughout that whole day, I hadn’t acknowledged God. So I quickly said, “God, I give this into Your hands. I know You are here.”

A few minutes later, I received the grace to finish the work within one to two hours.

Don’t Leave God Out of Your Everyday Life

That experience made me realise how easily we can fail to acknowledge God in all our ways.

Maybe we think about God first thing in the morning or read our Bible, but then go through the rest of our day without involving Him.

Even more importantly, we can forget to acknowledge God in the big areas of our lives like our marriage decisions, jobs, relationships, and future. Sometimes, we make decisions on our own and only learn through the consequences and hard knocks that we should have sought God’s direction.

God doesn’t want to be included only in certain areas of our lives. He wants us to depend on Him and acknowledge Him in all our ways.

So let this be a reminder: acknowledge God in every area of your life. 

Trust Him instead of leaning only on your own understanding, and allow Him to direct your steps every step of the way.

What Is Your Belief System? Your Life Depends On It

What Is Your Belief System? Your Life Depends On It

Have you thought about what will happen to your confidence when you know that somebody loves you, and that love will never change? We run after the love of man and the world. But God’s love for you is higher than the highest heavens and deeper than the deepest oceans. That should skyrocket your confidence!

Because He is somebody who is always planning for your good, and never for your harm. Nobody can match His power. He is your beloved Daddy God and you can run to Him anytime. He is such a good, good God. 

But, do you believe that?

waiting on God

Because, everything rises and falls on your belief system. Your belief system becomes your ceiling. So build your life on this foundation: God is good, and He is good all the time. When you believe this truth, you can discern what comes from the Lord and what comes from the enemy.

I once had a dream in which the enemy attacked me with sickness. It felt completely real. But when I woke up, the first thing I declared was, “I shall never be sick.” No matter how real fear appears, a child of God must stand and say, “My God is good. This is not written in His Word.”

Do not build your life on dreams or even prophecies. Dreams may fail because human elements are involved. Prophecy may also fail because we know in part and prophesy in part. Even heaven and earth shall pass away, but God’s Word will never fail. So build your belief system on what He says in His Word.

Every thought and dream that has brought fear into your life, you need to take authority over it and uproot it. Rip apart every limiting thought and purify your mind with the Word of God. Know that you are covered with His goodness and His blood. He is for you, His favor surrounds you, and you are the head and not the tail.

Decide today to take a U-turn from fear and build your belief system on His goodness, and you will go far. You will be fearless and bold as a lion.

Shalom.

Waiting on God: What to Do When You Can’t See Anything Happening

Waiting on God: What to Do When You Can’t See Anything Happening

There are seasons in life when we wait on God, hoping and wondering when something will finally happen. We keep waiting, but sometimes we can begin to feel stuck because we don’t see anything changing.

But waiting on God is not about how long you wait; it’s about how you wait.

waiting on God

Waiting Doesn’t Mean You’re Stuck

Waiting on God doesn’t mean you need to freeze your life until a miracle or change happens. It means continuing to move forward while trusting Him with what you cannot yet see.

Use this season to prepare for what is coming. Work on your character. Learn how to handle the things you may have struggled with before. Be faithful with the small things.

For example, if you are waiting on God for a job, use this time to work on yourself. Maybe your previous job left you stressed and overwhelmed. Learn how to handle stress better and tackle that weakness now.

If you are waiting on God for a life partner, don’t only ask God for the right person. Ask Him how you can become the right person for them. Discover God’s calling for your life and walk in it. Work through weaknesses such as anger, trust issues, or emotional instability. Learn to find your joy in the Lord and become dependent on Him.

Your waiting season can become your preparation season.

Don’t Let What You See Make You Waver

One of the best examples of this is Abraham.

Abraham walked with God and had a relationship with Him. His knowledge of God grew as he heard Him, and so did his faith grow.

God promised Abraham that he would have a son and become the father of many nations. Yet the circumstances around him seemed to say otherwise.

Romans 4:17–22 tells us that Abraham “did not weaken in faith” when he considered his own body or Sarah’s barrenness. He did not allow what he saw, the facts, or his feelings to make him waver in God’s promise.

Instead, he grew strong in faith as he gave glory to God, fully convinced that God was able to do what He had promised.

That is what waiting on God can look like.

You may not see anything happening yet. You may not understand how God will bring His promise to pass. But you can choose not to let your current situation determine what you believe about God.

Let your story be like Abraham’s.

Become a friend of God. Use your waiting season to grow, prepare, and become stronger in Him. Give Him glory even when you cannot see the answer yet.

And like Abraham, be fully convinced that God is able to do what He has promised.

This Is Why You Are Feeling Condemned..

This Is Why You Are Feeling Condemned..

Do you ever feel condemned, especially when a Word of correction comes to you?

If yes, know that when the Word of God comes to you, it is for you to grow, make corrections, and keep growing. It is not for you to hear the Word, look at your life, and say, “Oh, I’m not doing this,” and then sit under condemnation.

That is not God’s way of functioning. The Word of God will never bring condemnation. So if you are feeling condemned, it is because you have bought the lies of the enemy.

condemn

Many times you may get thoughts and you think those are your thoughts. But those thoughts may not be your thoughts. You may hear things like, “I cannot do much in life,” “Nobody loves me,” “My friends don’t care for me,” “They have isolated me,” or “Nobody even thinks about me.”

When such thoughts come, you need to stop them immediately because those are not your thoughts. That is the enemy speaking lies in your head.

When those thoughts come, you need to identify them. Don’t buy them or make them your thoughts.

You know you have bought them when you believe them long enough that you start speaking those lies. You call a friend and say, “Nobody cares for me.” Now the devil has made a sale. You bought his thoughts!

But when you hear thoughts that are not in alignment with the Word of God, thoughts of depression, anxiety, fear, or condemnation, open your mouth and say, “Enemy, I caught you. This is not my thought. I’m not buying your thoughts. Go find another customer.”

Don’t personalize those lies in your mind. The enemy attacks the mind. He throws thoughts that pull you down and make you feel like you are failing.

But God’s thoughts say, even if you fall seven times, rise again (Proverbs 24:16). God’s thought says, “You can do it. My mercy is new over you. Come on, build this good habit and keep spending time with Me.”

So stop buying the thoughts of the enemy and start thinking, speaking and building your life on the thoughts of God.
