MINISTRY

Labels:

At times, the only way you can be really effective in ministry is by allowing people to see and touch your scars.

Thomas in the Bible got his name “Doubting Thomas” during a moment of weakness. The guy had been with Jesus during his entire ministry and believed in Him more than anything, i mean he left everything and gave it all up for the course of Christ. He knew Jesus would establish His kingdom right here on earth...

but things did not go as he expected.

When he saw Jesus his King being tortured by being beaten mocked spat on and all that and worst of all when He died on the cross, like we all do at times during hardships, he felt lost, scattered and didn’t know what to believe anymore.

When the other disciples came and told him they had been with Jesus, he told them that unless he sees Jesus with his own eyes and feels the scars, he wouldn’t believe it. So Jesus came back..for him, showed him where the nails were and Thomas believed in Him again.

So do not be afraid to show your scars. Nothing you have been through is in vain. You may feel vulnerable, but God may just use your story to save a life.

God reveals in order to redeem

The enemy you know is less persuasive than the enemy you don’t know. In most cases, God displays himself to us in dreams or in visions. So whenever God discloses it to you. He is warning you to take a step and to act upon what he revealed. One thing you should perceive is that your enemy is not your neighbor, sister, colleagues, etc. We only have one enemy, which is the devil. Satan is very manipulative and if you aren’t prayerful enough, you’ll end up falling in to his traps. The day you’ll understand, you’ll avoid despising them.

Why You Find It Difficult to Recover Your Destiny

Have you ever felt like something precious was stolen from you—your purpose, your dreams, or even your sense of direction in life? Many people go through seasons where they feel lost, stuck, or unable to step into the future they desire. If you’ve been struggling to recover your destiny, there are often deeper reasons behind it. Let’s explore some spiritual and practical factors that might be making it hard for you to walk in your true calling, especially looking at the role of covenants and agreements. 1. Unresolved Spiritual Covenants and Agreements One major reason people struggle to recover their destiny is because of unseen spiritual agreements or covenants, knowingly or unknowingly entered into. These can include: Family covenants: Sometimes ancestors made pacts for protection, wealth, or power that now affect future generations. Personal agreements: Visiting spiritual practitioners, taking part in certain rituals, or even careless words (“I’ll never succeed”) can create spiritu...

Wait upon the LORD

  Life resembles a route. Additionally, there will be stop signs and speed limit or increase signs along the route! I chose to use this analogy because there are times in life when all you have to do is wait on the Almighty. And just get more prayer done when you feel like a situation has triumphed over you. Simply put on the gear and switch it out. There are moments when we may feel as though the Lord is not seeing us, hearing us, or responding to our prayers. We can place all of our faith and belief in the living God at these times. Knowing that the Lord is with us and in charge of our lives allows us to wait on Him with great anticipation. He is going to fulfill his promise. He is going to save us. Even when we are not aware of Him, He is constantly at work for our good (Romans 8:28). Waiting on the Lord is something we can learn through prayer, seeking, active trusting, patience, and courage. When we wait on the Lord, we confidently anticipate a favorable outcome, for which we ...
