Not Many Will Understand...

“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony” (Revelation 12:11).

 

A number of people had something to say about ‘it’ and they were all men! For a moment there I thought that my photos were indecent. However, two of them were quick to reassure me (on different occasions) that they were not. I then dared to ask what the problem was.

 

One of them said that he thought that I was no longer a servant of GOD because I was taking so many photos! I wondered how the two were related…

 

The second said that ‘people might get the wrong impression’… I wondered what that wrong impression could be…well, since he was a friend, I endeavored to not only explain myself to him but to share my testimony with him.

 

I told him how bad it had been years back. I explained to him how the devil had put a mask on my face such that I appeared older than my real age but was also not photogenic at all. For a long time, I hated photographs and when I did take them, I could never smile into the camera for fear that I would not look good. In fact, I did not have any photo albums or that many photographs because I was simply not photogenic!

 

Now, as if that was not bad enough, the devil had gone and put a black veil on my face to ensure that I was not attractive to men. One would not know it by simply looking at me but I had had my struggles that I struggled to get out of. However, thank GOD for GOD to whom I entrusted myself and we slowly began the journey.

 

I began to pray and then, slowly by slowly, I began to see changes. As GOD tore off the mask, he also ripped off the black veil that was its age-old accompaniment. The changes were evident in the youthful look that GOD gave me – He renewed my youth like an eagle’s! The increasing male attention that I began to receive could hardly be ignored – something had lifted!

I began taking photographs more often and enjoyed it too! I even became so daring as to take selfies and then something interesting happened…as compared to the times when editing would take close to an hour, at the photo studio, editing the photos I took using my phone took less time as we went along until I stopped editing them altogether. I became more confident ‘releasing’ unedited photos than I used to be! WE HAD MADE PROGRESS!

 

As I continued verbalizing my testimony, I told this friend of mine that given this background, taking photos is not just a pastime to me but a TESTIMONY! In fact, the more I post my unedited photos, the more I make an announcement, ‘LOOK WHAT THE LORD HAS DONE’ – right there is my testimony!

 

By the time, I was done with the long voice recording that I used to explain myself to him, I was glad that he had commented. It gave me a chance to testify about the goodness and faithfulness of my Father in heaven. It also gave me a much deserved opportunity to overcome the devil! OH, it reminded me of how far GOD and I had come – it had not been comfortable but we had managed to get ‘here’ in one piece.

 

Now, this made it clear to me that not many will understand your actions. Some may even judge you because they do not know. Some will even think that you are not as Godly as they think you should be BUT THEY DO NOT KNOW…they do not know your testimony just as they do not know how far you have come. They do not understand that, to you, ‘it’ is actually more than what they think it is – IT IS TESTIMONY OF HOW FAR GOD HAS BROUGHT YOU!

 

Therefore, do not lose the goal…do not lose your prize. Wear it for all to see and keep your gaze on the GOD who brought you this far.

 

Prayer  

 

Dear GOD, I thank you for all the struggles that you delivered me from. Even if many do not understand why I do what I do, I will continue to do what I have to do in order to silently, yet loudly, testify of your goodness and faithfulness to me. I choose to bear the criticisms just so I can glorify you by sharing my testimonies any way that I can. Amen.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH... UGANDA!

VPN

Okay, Uganda, I have dragged my feet about this long enough. However, GOD says that we are about to have another ‘VPN season’ where we shall not be able to access the internet or social media. I do not know what will happen this time to set it off but it will happen.

Revenue

“Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it. I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not cast their fruit,” says the LORD Almighty. “Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land,” says the LORD Almighty” (Malachi 3:10-12).

GOD also says that our economy is struggling because we have not entrusted our money to Him. We do not return the whole ten percent (tithe) and offering into His storehouse.  

Therefore, Uganda must separate ten percent (10%) of its revenue, add on an offering and return it to GOD. As a result our economy will have the hand of GOD upon it. Of course, we must also follow all the other kingdom financial principles but I have only been instructed to share about tithe.

 

I pray that this message reaches the right decision maker concerning this matter.

GOD BLESS YOU.

Prayer

Dear GOD, we have heard your word and received it. However, even if we do not know what the source of the next VPN season will be, we ask you to help us and avert it – keep us from it dear LORD.

Father, we repent for not returning the whole tithe and offering into your storehouse. We ask you to give us the grace to do so. We now place this nation into your hands. We ask you to take control of all our revenue and all that concerns us. In Jesus’ name, we have prayed, amen.

Let Us Back Him Up!

 

“How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron’s beard, down upon the collar of his robes. It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the LORD bestows his blessing, even life for evermore” (Psalm 133:1-3).

 

Isn’t it nice when we all work together to support another servant of GOD? Right there, in the unity, is a blessing forever more!

 

As I watched a certain gospel artist worshipping GOD in song, last night, I was not only impressed with him but also with his backup team! They all seemed to know that it was his ‘thing’…his ‘spot light’. I could tell that they were all very gifted and anointed because the song came out excellently but also because there was ‘something’ there that made its way through the air waves – It seemed as if I was right there in the room with them!

 

The gospel artist, himself, commanded such a presence on stage that you could not take away from him – it was his time to shine even if he was doing it while worshipping GOD. As he worshipped GOD, GOD glorified Himself through him – the glory of the LORD was upon him!

 

I interact with so many artists that I have come to acknowledge that some of them start out by ‘backing’ others. They sing so well that if you are simply listening to an audio you cannot tell that they are actually different voices. Some of the backup singers are already established but because the lead singer has requested for their help, they drop everything and run to his side.

 

Now, backing him does not mean that they do not sing that well or that they are not established names already. It does not mean that they will not be established, in future, if they back him. In fact, most of them turn out to be very good gospel artists themselves.

 

Often times, in ministry, we get an opportunity to help out a friend. However, it does not mean that we are less anointed or that they are more anointed than we are – that should not even cross our minds. It only means that there is only one ‘spot light’ for just one person at any one time. We must let them have it! We must be united as we support one another, regardless of whether it is releasing a song or preaching. If they release a beautiful song or a fiery message, it does not mean that we cannot also do so but that it is not yet our time. It also means that we should give them our best help while we wait for our chance!

 

Let us also remember that it is not about us or about the spotlight but about the GOD that we serve. Let us, then, do all that is within our power to back them up. Let us ensure that the word of GOD is preached to the ends of the earth and that we are behind it all the way.

 

‘Backing someone’ takes humility. You make a silent statement and say, ‘I choose to take off these ‘hats’ just so I can sit under your anointing. Let me be led for once. There is something that you have that I could learn from’. You and I know that GOD exalts the humble and humbles the proud. Let us intentionally humble ourselves so that the gospel may be preached to all creatures.

 

 

Prayer

 

Heavenly Father, I now know that we can only do well if we are united. LORD, give me the grace to support my brethren in any way that I can. May I not take off from their shine but help them shine more as they glorify you through what you have called them to do. I thank you, LORD, because you have done it. In Jesus’ name, I have prayed, amen.

'LORD, I Messed Up Again'!

“But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him” (Jeremiah 18:4).

 

Are there times in your life when that ‘pot gets marred in your hands’?

 

Well, notwithstanding the fact that you are a very good cook, every woman dreads that moment when she tastes the nicely spiced meal for the first time (among guests) only to realize that she added a lot of salt to one of the dishes! Thank GOD, my guest was not one that I needed to impress!

 

Of course, upon realization of that little problem, I apologized and made effort to redeem the rest of the dish. However, even if I added some milk and water, the nicely spiced dish of beef seemed to draw closer to the salt! Therefore, I went home a very subdued Zion!

 

Nonetheless, I knew that there was an answer to that situation and I needed to find it! Therefore, I talked to GOD about it and it was not long after that that He reminded me about my past visits to Chinese restaurants. He reminded me of the sweet and sour dishes and gave me the idea of adding sugar! The following day, I promptly added a small amount of water to three tea spoonfuls of sugar and added it to the meal. I then added a cookie to it and came up with a very tasty meal! I was amazed!

 

Now, the situation above reminded me of how much we mess up sometimes but do not do anything about it. When we mess up in any area of our lives, we should do everything within our power to make it right. We should ask GOD to teach us how to make it right and then be attentive to what He says. Sometimes, He may remind us of a situation in our past that we could borrow from or He may create an entirely different solution. Regardless of what solution GOD gives us, it is within us to seek Him for a way out of that situation.

 

 I do not know how you messed up this time but I sure know that the solution is within you. I know that the first action, towards making it right, is to acknowledge that it was your fault and that you would like to make it right. You will then ask GOD to show you how to do that and, when He does, you will give Him all the glory.

 

Prayer

 

Heavenly Father, I messed up again. I cannot blame anyone this time because it was entirely my fault. Please forgive me. I now ask you to show me how to rectify the situation so that I will give all the glory when the problem has been sorted out. I thank you, LORD, because you have done it. In Jesus’ name, I have prayed, amen.

GOD Will Teach You How To Do 'It'

GOD Will Teach You How To Do It

 

You were excited about certain changes a few days back. However, before long, something went wrong. Regardless of how much you tried, you could not sort it out.

 

You will try to seek help from people, more knowledgeable than you, but to no avail. You will then ask GOD to teach you and He will and the problem that gave you so much trouble will be sorted out in a few seconds. GOD will teach you how to go about it. In fact, He will sort it out so quickly that kingdom work, which has been on hold for so long, can be done!

Disheartened

 

It is everywhere you turn - you feel disheartened. The promise that GOD gave you, YEARS back, seems to have fallen on hard rock! You have given up. I know it is hard, given all the things that are happening or NOT HAPPENING. It now seems as if you did not hear the voice of GOD. However, be calm and wait upon GOD. It does not seem like it will happen, considering what is on ground, but GOD will perform His word. Hang in there.

 

'CURE'...'AUTO-HEAL'

“But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5).

 

Recently, GOD spoke to me in just one word; CURE! Hours after that, He said, ‘AUTO HEAL’…

 

Well, He must be working on a cure for something but also on some very FAST healing of some diseases.

 

Receive it.

 

Prayer

 

Dear GOD, I thank you for the cure that you are working on but also the instant healing that you are carrying out in this season. I decree that this wave of healing will not pass me by. I declare that I am healed, in Jesus’ name, amen.
