ESAUS CRUED FOR IT

INSPIRED
NOT MY WILL

Happy Sunday, l pray this new week and month is filled with awesome testimonies in Jesus name.

The Christian walk and lifestyle is fashioned for progress and stagnancy a curse for  every believer.

 Man is designed for progress and increase" Be fruitful, multiply...  God commanded increase for every man born of a woman.

In same manner, our walk with God must not be on the same level,  year after year, as we increase in our finance, career and business, our spiritual walk and work must also progress. 

2 Peter 1:5-7 "For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love". 

God expects you to grow spiritually; get to know Him more and one of the ways you can attain this is contained in Luke 9:23

" Then He said to all, anyone who wants to follow me must put aside his own desires and conveniences and carry his Cross with him everyday and keep close to me. (Living Bible)

Desires are the beam for world class achievements. Sometimes, the reason A is more successful than B is the difference in the power of their desires. 
Desires are what you long to see happen in your life and environment, they are what you want, what you yearn for, the longing of your heart and it determines  your life pursuit and defines  your destiny.

Closer walk with Christ is impeded by wrong and selfish desires, you cannot become your best for Christ with these kind of desires.

WHY?  your life is ruled by your own desires and not that of Christ. You are running your destiny in your own way, you are serving God on your own term and you serve God only when its convenient for you.

You need to move closer to Christ, you must willing surrender yourself to him completely and learn his ways for his yoke is easy and his burden is light.

Every believer must learn to seek the desires of Christ and follow it through; though  its contrary to your personal desires.

Peter desired to be a first class fisherman and after walking, working and eating with Christ, he went back to the fishing lifestyle. But Christ's desire for Peter was to be a 'fisher of men'. It is only those who pursue Christ's desires earnestly  that will get close to Him and reign with in eternity.

Please spend time in His presence this week. 
May God keep and preserve you with His kindness  in Jesus name.

Christ In Your Heart

HOW TO ATTAIN AN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP  WITH GOD AND MAN Christ is called the Anointed One, which symbolisies that He was a man under the influence and control of the Holy Spirit. Romans 8 reveals that the Holy Spirit can lead a man which is the Holy Spirit guiding and directing the activities, decisions and thoughts of the Man through the written and spoken Word. But when the Holy Spirit is leading a man, the man has the absolute ability to say No to the leading of the Holy Spirit and follow his own inclinations. But there is a higher dimension of  relationship with the Holy Spirit which is state of absolute surrender that is exemplified by the life of The LORD of Host Himself: Jesus Christ, The LORD and Saviour of the Earth..
