I have watched the election activities – the debates, polls and reports – and based on what I am seeing thus far, I am realizing, or should I say, confirming more each day that the church is in a terrible state! 1.It shows that much of the Body of Christ cannot identify God’s will. 2. […]
OPEN BLIND EYES JESUS!
Mark 8: 24 – 26
Without a doubt, this Scripture depicts what is happening in the Body of Christ. I believe that the enemy has blinded the eyes of a majority of the Christians today, and we pray that the Youth that are teachable and submissive will begin to rise.
The place or level that you are in God can affect your sight! The people around you can affect your sight – those with whom you surround yourself are critically connected to how you see! It is not about your physical sight, but the state of the mind.
For you to see, sometimes God has to remove you out of town – out of your geographical location. God wants to do some stuff in your life, but you have surrounded yourself with religious folks – so blind they can’t see beyond the box! That is why Jesus had problems with them in those days!
Religious folks focus on ceremonial laws and rituals – the physical – and they cannot see beyond that! If you realize,Jesus had to lay hands on the man more than once. One touch could not heal his sight and furthermore, he had to be led out of the town. The longer you are among blind folks, the more blind you become! So the process of healing takes longer.
What God wants to is not normal theology, but some unorthodox methods that will challenge the religious mindset. Many Christians have mist over their eyes so they are not seeing things right. The man said he saw men walking as trees. But, trees are stationary – men can walk! So Jesus had to lay hands on Him again – in other words, Jesus had to help him to renew his mind! You need to see men clearly and to discern them. If you see trees walking, then you need another touch from Jesus, because it means you are seeing something God did not ordain and something that is functioning against His principles.
When the Lord has laid His hands on you, don’t go back to the old town. In other words, you may need to leave your ‘circle/group’. Don’t go back to Bethsaida – a place that was already spoken against/cursed by Jesus Himself. (Matthew 11: 21)
Many are looking for change/looking for a miracle; but before that, God has to move you away from some people, move you away from some places, change your mind, heal your blindness and you are then charged with the responsibility of not going back to that accursed place!
GRACE, FAVOR AND MERCY
We often talk about Grace, Favor and Mercy, but do we really understand what these words mean? No one can live without Grace. The obstacles, challenges and problems we face on a daily basis, could not/cannot be resolved without Grace, Favor and Mercy. The word ‘Grace’ simply put, means getting something we do not deserve; […]
HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE
John 8 is a Scripture we truly need to look at and understand now. Even in light of the current political happenings – we need to ask the question: What if Jesus were on earth right now running against either political party. How would the media treat Him? How would Christians treat Him? How would […]

The Government Of God
There are many genuinely righteous people today walking away from the secular industries because they believe that it causes them to compromise their beliefs, and they take with them invaluable contributions to their organisations, groups and the nation. But that is not always the right choice. There is need for light, particularly in the secular […]
Godly Criteria For Choosing A Government
Many persons from time to time will ask the question, ‘What Is God’s will for the nation?’ or ‘What is God’s choice for a government that he would want to lead the nation?’ The question should really be, ‘Do the people want God’s choice of leadership for the nation?’ God’s choice of leadership for this […]
Choosing A Leader – Good Leadership Brings Growth And Reformation
In pursuit of good leadership, many are crying out for a different kind of leader that will bring reformation. But all sectors, including media as well as the people, must have clear guidelines particularly about core values and leadership styles that they require in order to bring change! Many times we see persons with strong […]
WE NEED LEADERS WITH THE SHEPHERD’S HEART
Numbers 27: 15 -17 says, “Then Moses spoke to the Lord, saying: “Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation, who may go out before them and go in before them, who may lead them out and bring them in, that the congregation of the Lord […]
GOD GOVERNS IN THE AFFAIRS OF MEN
When will mankind understand that regardless of their plans, God has the final say! He rules in the earth! The more we try to remove God’s presence and principles from the governing of a nation, the more chaos, crime and confusion will increase. Every leader and government are accountable to God. God ordained the institution […]
