And you shall be enlarged

To enlarge means to make it bigger, implying that anytime there is enlargement, there must be two important factors involved – the object to be enlarged and the fellow who is going to be the enlarger.

You are the one to be enlarged and the enlarger is the One spoken about in Genesis 1:28: “And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.”

The Scripture above didn’t say, “Be fruitful and increase”, but rather, “Be fruitful and multiply”. This implies that if you are truly fruitful, then you will multiply; that is the true meaning of fruitfulness. God is not interested in addition, but rather, in multiplication. You must seek to multiply over and over again. We have a mandate that is to multiply whatever is in our possession.

Why then are many people, including Christians satisfied with the status quo? Some are satisfied with getting a little increase in their salary every two years, some pastors are satisfied with just sitting over one parish of their Church with the same number of people for several years. This is as good as a taboo, especially when you consider the status of the Person who said, “Be fruitful and multiply”. There is a popular saying that goes thus: “Garbage in, garbage out”.

If you really want to multiply, then you must multiply your efforts too; you must multiply everything you have been doing, in order to get the desired results. If you do this, you would soon realise that your results have also multiplied.

Multiplication is in levels; some people will multiply thirty-fold, some sixty-fold and some a hundred-fold and so on. Multiply your input in proportion to how much increase you desire in your output. Multiply your input in prayers, in work, in study, in giving and so on. We have a God who promised to multipy us in every area of our lives .

Law 1: The harvest is limited to the planting.

You can only harvest what you plant. In other words, if you haven’t sown it, God can’t  multiply it. One of the clearest pictures of multiplication occurs in John 6, where Jesus is standing before 5,000 hungry people (more like 15,000 if you include the women and children). He takes a little boy’s lunch, five loaves and two fish—a Hebrew Happy Meal. You know the story: After Jesus takes the loaves and fish and blesses the food, he distributes it to his disciples until everyone is fed and there are 12 basketfuls leftover.

This miracle demonstrates the pattern of multiplication. It’s only as you put what you have in the hands of Jesus that it’s multiplied. We tend to reverse that. Well, if God multiplies what I have, then I’ll give it away. But God says, “Give it away, and it will multiply!”

Law 2: The harvest comes later than the planting.

The hard part about harvesting is that it takes time to see your efforts pay off. That’s why many people never see the harvest. They start off well, but they give up too soon.

We live in a generation of instant gratification. I know I’m like that. When I diet, I want to see the results right away. I want to eat salad one time and see the difference the next morning. But life doesn’t work like that. Real change takes time to grow.When I fast and pray I want instant results.

This is even truer in agriculture. One of our campus pastors told me about a practical joke he played on his neighbors when he was a kid. He grew up on a farm, so he al

Results take time. What you sow today, you won’t see the return of until the next season in life. Sowing is all about the future. And while it’s worth the wait, we often don’t act like it.

Law 3: The harvest is greater than the planting.

In the harvest, what comes back to you is always greater than what you sowed. If you plant a wheat seed, it will turn into a wheat stalk that can produce hundreds of wheat seeds. The law of greater says that what starts small multiplies into something much bigger than what you began with. What you reap will always come back greater than what you sow. Jesus talked about a harvest of 30, 60, and 100 fold (Mark 4:20).

When Scripture applies this to money, it teaches us that the harvest is greater than the planting in both the magnitude of what you reap and the kind of fruit you reap. Paul says in Galatians 6:8 that we reap eternal life from the Spirit by our sowing; in 2 Corinthians he calls this the “harvest of righteousness.” God often uses generosity to give us gifts far greater than money.

Think of it this way: Which would you rather have—a lot of money or the ability to be truly happy and satisfied with what you have? Only a fool would say, “Give me the money.” Why? Because the reason you want more money is to be happier and more satisfied.

What if there was a better way to get to that end? In Matthew 6:21, Jesus challenges his disciples to be generous with their money because “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” It’s the same principle. Invest your treasure in heaven, and watch your heart follow it. Having your heart set on heaven is a far greater gift than having more cash.

And you shall be enlarged in Jesus’ name

True enlightenment

Luke 23:45
[45]And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.

Life can often feel like a battlefield, with both apparent and hidden enemies fighting against you for unclear reasons. Nonetheless, it is important to remember that victory is always within reach, no matter how great the challenges we face may seem. Success is simply a matter of overcoming these challenges and achieving a positive outcome inspite of terrifying opposition.

Problems or challenges are a necessity for growth. Growth is winning against pressing limitations. The bigger the limitation the bigger the testimony when overcome. The scripture I pasted above is taken from a story of Jesus’ death when the veil was torn from top to bottom which is very significant in our Christian walk.

In ancient times, a veil was used to cover the Holy of Holies in the temple. This was a sacred place that only the High Priest could access. To ensure his safety, a bell would ring to signal that he was still alive. Furthermore, it was believed that only those who were pure and clean could enter this sacred place. Holiness was and still is a must to have an encounter with the Holy Spirit.

The Holy of Holies was a highly revered place where the High Priest acted as an intermediary between God and the Jewish people. By offering sacrifices, the priest facilitated communication between God and the Israelites. It serves as a reminder that we can also connect with the divine directly through prayer. Prayer connects you to the divine source of everything.

Throughout ancient religions, we can observe a recurring pattern showing that human beings have always craved security for the future. A life without any guarantee of a future feels like being imprisoned. When the future is uncertain, the present loses its meaning. Hope for the future is what motivates people to strive for more. Your attitude towards life is largely determined by where you place your hopes. It is always imperative to place your hopes in God.

The Hope of Israelites lay solely on the High Priest, the sacrificial lambs had to be accepted. The High Priest connected them to God. From sin offerings, the first fruit offering the High Priests had to be involved. Jesus Christ became our High Priest and then he encouraged us to intercede for people around us. We are the high priests in our communities, messengers of God to this generation. As God is light, thus we are to reflect the glory of God in these trying times.

At Golgotha, the veil that separated the Holy of Holies, from the masses was torn apart. This revealed what was hidden behind the veil to everyone. The veil was a symbol of limitation, and only those who had the authority to go beyond it and communicate with God were allowed access. To protect the veil and the mysteries it contained, systems were put in place to keep it hidden from the general populace and instil fear in those who even thought of touching it. The veil was a no-go area for most people. Only the righteous and those who followed the law had the privilege of accessing this wonder.

It was a mystery how people communicated with the almighty beyond the veil. The only information we had access to, was what the High Priest would tell us. Consequently, people were required to follow the High Priest’s orders without question. The High Priest’s words were likened to a law and everyone had to abide for the growth and security of the nation. Similarly, in these times, those who can hear God’s voice have an advantage in life. God communicates with those who approach him in the right way. The moment you nurture your communication with God, you become a man or a woman of influence.

In him there is light, and everyone who knows God can attest to this light. The light of God can’t be hidden.. after Prophet Moses had spent 40 days and nights on the mountains in a private meeting with the Almighty his face was glowing this light, and his peers could not understand the light that was glowing on Moses.

The veil was a significant obstacle for those who did not have access to the Holy of Holies. It limited the imagination of spectators and even the prayer life of believers. If you are still waiting for someone to approach God on your behalf, it can harm your faith. The veil made the population rely more on the High Priest, Sadducees, and Pharisees instead of honouring God. It fostered a dependent spirit on human perfection, enabling Sadducees and Pharisees to claim righteousness through works, and everyone could buy the idea because they had access to this veil.

The veil promoted laziness… a despondency spirit. (Why bother, when you could beg the High Priest to inquire for you) .This system encouraged corruption, the rich could bribe people with the cloth, to bless or curse anyone… A corrupt priest could claim that God said something to steal from the poor… By building a hedge around the wisdom of communicating with God, they created a demand for their service to the masses.

Living a life full of understanding and wisdom is akin to walking in the light. Seeking wisdom is encouraged in the Bible and helps us navigate through life’s challenges. Ignorance can often lead to unpleasant consequences, and the devil tries to keep people in the dark. The more we know, the less vulnerable we become to the challenges of this world. Walking in the light brings real freedom and clarity to our lives. It allows us to make informed decisions and repels guesswork. On the contrary, stumbling in the dark can be slow and confusing, causing us to lose sight of our goals.

I pray that every veil limiting our nations is removed so we can be prosperous in everything we do. Jesus on the cross, when that veil was torn open… that means a new way of life was introduced to those who believe. New life, rebirth and better vision. A whole new world was introduced and Jews could not fathom this thus due to a dependency spirit they still chose the old way.

In the past, people used to experience fear due to certain beliefs. However, it is important to overcome this fear and strive for success in life. Jesus Christ showed us the way to do this by breaking apart that veil and demonstrating that he is the ultimate truth and the source of life. By focusing on Jesus Christ alone, anyone who comes in his name can be considered sent from above. To benefit from his teachings, it is essential to keep our focus on Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ was an exceptional and inspirational figure who courageously stood up against the oppressive authorities of his time, particularly the Pharisees and Sadducees. His teachings and message still inspire us today, urging us to challenge conventional beliefs and strive for truth and fairness in every aspect of our lives. The fact that Jesus existed serves as a powerful reminder that we should always aim to be more empathetic, kind, and fair to ourselves and others.

Living in the light of Jesus Christ means confidently embracing the Supreme wisdom of the creative power of God. It involves embodying the personality of the Godhead, which enables you to dominate and create a harmonious environment under God’s will.

May you find alignment with the incredible power that lies within the unity of yourself and Jesus Christ. Through the unbreakable bond with our Saviour Jesus Christ, I pray that any limitations holding you back are removed, and you are set free from bondage. Amen.

Great example of Faith

Those who went before us have earned a good reputation because of the faith they had in God. They kept on holding on to what the Lord has said, not because He had done it for them, but His Word. So the only way for us to defend our faith is through the Word of […]

The Love you deserve

This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
1 John 4:10 NIV

When grace abounds, growth is imminent. Love is a language misunderstood by many for frailty but love is true domination. Love is the spine of every creation and community today. But what’s so mysterious about love that many people can’t understand it?

In the beginning, the earth was covered in darkness and God the origin of light spoke light into existence for he loved the cosmos so much. In his pursuit to reflect his light on the earth, he formulated his replica or own image to mirror his light and glory on earth. Adam by mandate had one duty, that is to man the Garden of Eden. Hence his love for the Garden of Eden would be demonstrated in the degree to which he would go to conduct his duties.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16 NIV

Elohim loved and vowed to be the God of Israel, we witness him in the Bible forgiving Israelites even though they worshipped their creation( idols) because love meant a commitment to God. Love is a commitment. Israel as a nation has been regarded as a prostitute on multiple occasions in the Bible but God in his mercy would forgive them whenever they realised their mistakes.

Love goes beyond calling upon mistakes, it confines weaknesses and vows to see expansion and harmony in the future. Daniel loved God to the point of being cast in a lion’s den without any fear of death. Love gives boldness. Our love for God opens our eyes to a new world of possibilities.

The love of your country forces you to defend the country’s territory. Your love for God ensures that you don’t live a sinful life. Let this love for God teach you wisdom. The love of your family ensures that you do everything in your power to nurture your family.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13:4‭-‬13 NIV

With love, we are bound to face challenges and betrayals but the Bible instructs us to love anyways. Your love for humanity guarantees that you live a life of righteousness. There is too much self-hatred in the world it’s relatively easy for mankind to inflict pain on their fellow brothers.

The main purpose of love is growth and security for both the recipient and the giver. Love is not manipulation. True love covers nakedness and a bond is created which in turn formulates an identity. It is this true love which is the foundation of marriage. From this interpretation, it becomes difficult to even consider divorce after marriage since our heavenly Father plays the role of a husband to the church today. If only our heavenly Father could abandon us in our weakness I am sure most of us wouldn’t be even associated with Christ at all.

In our weakness He is our strength, in our sicknesses, he is our healing. In our brokenness, he is our pillar of strength. Amid confusion and desperation, he is the Way, Truth and Life. Are you ready to show this kind of love to the world? Being a Christian is simply put reflecting Jesus Christ to the whole world. Jesus Christ interceded for the same people who had just crucified him on the cross, he pleaded to the I AM THAT I AM to forgive his murderers for they had committed such a gruesome act in ignorance.

True love implies being patient with the weaker vessels. Love doesn’t bully the weak into conformance instead it encourages the weak with dignity till they see their full potential. In the New Testament, we see a new covenant being made now we were justified by faith, and our sins atoned on the cross long before we had sinned. Our sins and failures were exonerated a long time ago on the cross hence any influence or decree made against us because of sins lost their leverage on Golgotha. From then we could declare that no Weapon formed against us would prosper with much assurance, for we understood that the enemy was using our weaknesses and sins to condemn us.

True love can never condemn, for how could we believe in a type of love that brings condemnation when Jesus Christ has demonstrated to us the special love that tidies up the unworthy and gives them access to dine with the Master on his table? Yes, Jesus Christ is sitting at the right hand of the Father as our advocate, reminding God of the new covenant with his blood on the Cross. Whenever the enemy would try to condemn us Jesus Christ would point to the cross, and remind the devil that the power of condemnation is finished.

God is love and today He is inviting you to dine with Him, as His special children. God loves us, our husband loves to provide for his wife. We have no reason to panic at all because we are in safe hands. Let's take time to thank God for his love. 

Whom you belong matters!

Who you are and to whom you belong affects everything else you do in this  life from your social status , financial status and health status . We can’t choose our parents, skin complexion and places we are born but they are certain decisions we have to make . It is these decisions that really gives us the edge in life or keep us in poverty.

Every day we are faced with a lot of decisions some minor and others big, but in every decision you make always consider the consequence of your actions  (where you are going and what you want to accomplish in life). Every action is assumed from what we truly identify with.

This is no longer a season to sugarcoat the scriptures, we can’t afford to be living on the fence anymore. Once you are born what’s left is to die accordingly meeting the architect of the universe. Is humankind prepared for the day of Judgement??

“There are no unowned men. We are, every one of us, either ranked under the banner of Prince Immanuel, to serve Him and fight His battles, or
else beneath the Black Prince, Satan—enrolled to do evil and to perish in our sins! It is a very proper question, then, to ask of every man and
woman, ‘To whom do you belong?’”

Charles Spurgeon

We are inhabiting an era where multitudes are confused about their identity. Some have preferred to be homosexuals whilst some are very uncertain they don’t even comprehend whether they are male or female anymore. Lucifer is at work he is on a mission to destroy people, funny from our culture mankind identified each other by gender and the devil just had to confuse people on that one as well.

The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, so that we may keep all the words of this law.
Deuter­­onomy 29:29 MEV

Decisions are naturally established on potential. The potential is founded in identity and independence that abounds from uniqueness. There is no middle lane, your results reflect your belief systems. Failure or success in any environment is essentially a reflection of the capability you have in that respective area.

You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them. We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
I John 4:4‭-‬6 NKJV

The turmoil comes from the devil, it’s a pity many have plunged into this pit of an identity crisis. We are of God and as his ambassadors, we operate on different principles from worldly ideologies. Whilst public opinion says leave your marriage once you are not happy, we detest divorce because our Father in Heaven hates divorce! Marriage is a reflection of God’s love for us (loving the undeserving for your name’s sake)

Most decisions reflect the words you are giving attention to, whether you are investing time in the wisdom of God or worldly philosophies. Godly wisdom surpasses human intelligence, man fundamentally is concentrating on the now, whilst God works from the end. Faith is working from an invisible end, creating evidence of the unseen and living that reality in the now.

God loves everyone, but he raises some to positions of power whilst some suffer in deprivation and stagnation. One God serving well for those who love him and are following his principles yet not answering back to his enemies. So this statement shows that one can be an enemy of God. It only makes sense to love God with all our hearts and minds.

Israelites were a chosen people, and for God to fulfil his promise to Abraham, the inhabitants of Canaan had to die. The Canaanites worshipped pagan gods or idols so on God’s agenda they were a hindrance to the Kingdom’s expansion. We see Moses instructing Israelites never to mix with them and follow after their gods.

and when the Lord your God delivers them over to you, you shall conquer them and utterly destroy them. You shall make no covenant with them nor show mercy to them. Nor shall you make marriages with them. You shall not give your daughter to their son, nor take their daughter for your son. For they will turn your sons away from following Me, to serve other gods; so the anger of the Lord will be aroused against you and destroy you suddenly. But thus you shall deal with them: you shall destroy their altars, and break down their sacred pillars, and cut down their wooden images, and burn their carved images with fire. “For you are a holy people to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth.
Deuteronomy 7:2‭-‬6 NKJV

There is no room for consenting with the enemy, every altar erected for the pagan gods should be demolished. Everyone in captivity by the enemy should be set free. Hell should be emptied we can’t negotiate biblical principles with the heathens. Poverty should be eradicated in our midst if we are to prosper as a church, thus anything linking us to a dependency mindset on other cultures for ideas and financial accumulation should be stopped.

It’s high time the church as a unit gets involved in changing communities. We are the salt of the earth, the light of Jesus Christ in us can’t be hidden anymore in the name of religion. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is not just some religion it is a way of life. The moment you start comparing Christianity to pagan worship you lose yourself.

“Therefore know that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments; and He repays those who hate Him to their face, to destroy them. He will not be slack with him who hates Him; He will repay him to his face. Therefore you shall keep the commandment, the statutes, and the judgments which I command you today, to observe them.
Deuteronomy 7:9‭-‬11 NKJV

If you love God, you honour his principles. Respecting a kingdom law inevitably licenses you extended life and freedom. Every Kingdom has a constitution hence to govern with dominion and without condemnation, we have to adopt Heavenly kingdom principles. The laws of every institution show the agenda and ambition of that government. The laws God gave to Moses promoted love. Perfect love is the goal of the Bible.

It is of utmost significance to examine your beliefs and patterns with this checklist, only then can we determine the brains behind our lifestyle. Most patterns we embrace are rooted in the convictions of our parents and communities. Thus to break the cycle of common sins and curses we ought to transform our mindset and take on the word of God as a way of life.

Jesus is the Way, the truth and the life thus genuine wisdom can only be found in him. In him is the fullness of being. Perfect love casts away fear, to have perfect love we need Jesus Christ. With that wisdom, it is evident that fear only results from imperfect love. Identifying with Christ is a favourable decision for mankind today.

Fear is a result of imperfect love. Conditional love brings a seed of fear with it. If you don’t act a certain way you lose, that is the love the world offers. Jesus Christ died for us whilst we were sinners, he atoned for our sins whilst we were busy idol worshipping. I did not deserve his mercy but he loved me anywhere.

He was very patient with me when I was actively committing adultery and fornicating. Even in my disobedience, he was patient. He forgave me and gave me a new start as his mouthpiece to the nations. I am indebted to him. His love towards me has moulded me to be who I am today. His grace abounds in my weaknesses and shortfalls

God loves us, and as long as we embrace his love everything else in life becomes relatively easy. It’s effortless to love when we understand the love of God. God’s love brings about humility and patience. To understand forgiveness look no further than the cross. Jesus Christ pardoned our sins, even after we contributed to his crucifixion. We don’t have a reason to hold grudges when we have a role model like Jesus Christ on forgiveness.

I want to encourage you the reader today, to give your life fully to Jesus Christ.In this transaction you will live your life with joy ,peace and harmony in the land of the living.
