What You Didn't Know About September 🗓️

I t is another time to see the goodies that the month of September holds for us - Children of God. Stay glued to this article and see the possibilities you can tap into in the 9th month as a Child of God.   September's Spiritual Delicacies 1. A Month of Grace 🤲🏼: In Ezra 10, the Children of God that have erred and were exiled received grace to return to the fold of God's elect. 2. A Period of Intentionally Seeking God 🙇‍♂️: Funny enough this point took place in the 9th month at 2 separate times. First, in Jeremiah 36, the word of God was revealed to the people and a fast was declared in a bid to consecrate themselves to God. Second, in Zechariah 7, the people also sought the face of God from the prophets.  3. The Kickstarter of Great Blessings 💃🏻: God declared blessings in the 9th month through Haggai. In Haggai 2, He said, " From this moment, I will bless you...and I will make you a signet ring for I have chosen you ."  Lastly, it's important to mention that

Before You Set Out

Congratulations God has spoken to you and given you a promise. Naturally, you seek to prepare and to start moving in the direction of God's promise for you. However, there is a funny and fundamental truth that you should realize before setting out to fulfill God's word. The first time Jesus sent His disciples out, He had to emphasize this truth before sending them out. It took some time for me to realize this. What is this truth? In Luke 10, As Jesus sent His disciples out to the cities, He told them  not to take any bag, staff, or extra clothing.  Jesus didn't mean that travelling accessories weren't beneficial; however, He wanted his disciples to understand that the ability to do that which God has sent them to, doesn't lie in what they have but in what God has said. God's word has the creative ability to fulfil itself.  Thus, the resources you have or advantages at your disposal didn't qualify you for the promise; however,  God's mercy sought you out

Finding What We Really Seek

N obody likes work. The real reason we work and take steps to make ends meet is that we want to find rest - meet our needs easily and have inward peace. Often, men seek this rest the wrong way. In Matthew 11:28, Jesus said He will give us this rest but in the following verse (v29); He said we will find it. Is there a contradiction? How can we find rest? Matthew 11:28& 29 says, " Come to me, all who labor and are heavily laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls ." What Jesus meant was that in surrendering our endeavors to him, taking his yoke (which is what He really wants us to do in life), feeding on His word through the process, and having a gentle and humble attitude throughout the way, we will reach a certain point where we will have rest - (all the things we seek for). So, the question is what is Christ's yoke for you? If you have the yoke already, are yo

What You Didn't Know About the Month of August🤔

D aniel 9:2 says 'I, Daniel understood by the books the number of years the word of God came to Jeremiah the Prophet.' The above verse underscores that by the study of the word Daniel understood the season the word of God was supposed to come to pass. I have realised that by the study of the word, one can discover peculiar seasons attributed to certain months. However, it doesn't stop there. The Bible says in Daniel chapter 9 that after Daniel understood by the books he sought out the Lord - v3 ' KJV:And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes.  In the same vein, I discovered that after discovering seasons or realities peculiar to a month or situation, if one prays consistently to position him or herself for that season. Biblically, the number 8 signifies a new beginning. The covenant of circumcision (a form of dedication signifying that one is now God's own) is usually done on the eighth day. No w
