There is a King in you
1 Peter 2:9 “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light”

We so soon forget our identity due to the different challenging times we go through. Kings do not bow their heads down for anything. They don’t. So why are you intimidated by the things you see around you. The three Hebrew boys understood this. They knew their identity. They understood who they were and where they were from.
Scriptures records that they made up their minds not to bow their head to an unknown God. Who is intimidating you? What is intimidating you? Haven’t you read of the scenario between the young David and Goliath. Did you notice how David was furious in his spirit that an uncircumcised Philistine was challenging His God? The young man knew who he was.

You need to awake to this reality for you are not a slave, you’ve been chosen. A peculiar people by God. A royal Priesthood. You have the royal blood in you. So the next time fear comes you overcome the spirit of fear by the word of God in you. Ye only err because you do not know the language of the kingdom. I charge us to study more of God’s word. Get familiar with the language of the kingdom which is our confidence as Kings here on earth. Ecclesiastes 8:4 Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?
2 Timothy 1:7 “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind”. Fear has no right over you. God has not given that to you. But power and soundmind. So take charge and have dominion over your territory which is this earth. Live in Dominion for there is a King in you and fear has no right over you.

Move on
“And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire. And had taken the women captives, that were therein; they slew not any either great or small but carried them away and went on their way.
So David and his men came to the city, and behold it was burned with fire, and their wives and their sons and their daughters were taken captives. And David and the men with him lifted up their voice and wept until they had no more power to weep”. I Samuel 30: 1-4

This was David, the mighty King. We sometimes go through somethings, not because God doesn’t know about them but because He wants us to learn to trust him even in such circumstance. For David it was a very difficult situation for him. Yet He trusted God for a way out and that was what He got. Later part of the scripture says he recovered all that was lost and stolen from him.

We are all blind men walking into a tomorrow we know nothing about so stop blaming yourself for those wrongs you have made. Forgive yourself and move on. Move on and make yourself happy. Don’t give in to your mistakes and failures.
What other mistake can be greater than waisting years of your life doing something unproductive. If you don’t fall sometimes you will never know how people rise up when they fall. It’s a process in making. You’re getting life experiences and becoming a better person. So move on and forgive yourself for those mistakes that hurts you.

Love; the strongest force ever

Love is kind and not selfish. It doesn’t think of its own, it’s not puffed up, thinketh no evil, rejoices in truth. Is a force that even the devil cannot resist. It can only be seen by our daily actions not by mere words. Love should be unconditional, so why act otherwise? We were asked to Love our neighbor as ourselves. You know that’s one difficult thing to do, but the height of true love indeed.

Sometimes I think about the love Christ showed to us humans and I wonder what kind of love it was? The next time you have a quarrel with someone and you are wondering if you should forgive or not. Remember that Love is not puffed up? The next time you feel cheated and you want to repay evil for evil, remind yourself that love does not think evil. The next time you are wondering how best to reward a great work that someone did for you, act in love by doing to him what you would have requested if you were in his shoes.

Love the greatest gift of all. You might have all the gifts of the spirit but if you do not have love then you are referred to as a sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal. Thats how important God wants you to love. Stop taking actions based on your impulse. Learn to look inward and let the gift of love play out from within. I have written this piece to you, because I love you.

Are you tired of the actions people take towards you? Your driver, staff, relatives or friends. Are you already getting tired of your relationship or marriage? You know what, give this force a trial. Love hard, love that fellow as if you won’t have another chance. Love with sincerity of heart. Try it and you’ll get a different result. It’s a force nothing can resist. Love right, love in purity.
