Say only what God has commanded

Say only what God has commanded 

"That the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, "I am the LORD. Speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say to you." But Moses said before the LORD, "Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh heed me?" (Exod.6.29 -30) 

A song writer sang, "I no dey hear wetin God no talk, I no dey talk wetin devil talk". These lines are so powerful when you think about them. How often do we say things that God has not commanded us to say, we say things that are not in alignment with what God's word says. God commanded Moses to say what He has commanded. But instead Moses spoke his own words - spoke his incompetence, his failures and defeat, he spoke what his situation was saying instead of speaking what God commanded. 

Some would say, "let's be real... '' and then proceed to reel out facts that contradict the word of God but what they do not know and understand is that nothing is more real than the word of God. To say it is not yet real is not even correct because it is always real, it is you who haven't come into that reality. That the sun is not seen does not invalidate that it is up there in the sky. You do not see the stars during the day but they are there. 

When you make the word of God your primary vocabulary you will begin to see God manifested in your life. Speak God's word not your situations or circumstances. Speak what He has commanded and let Him worry about Pharaoh not heeding that word. With a benefit of hindsight we saw what happened to Pharaoh and the Egyptian when Moses began to speak what God has commanded. Speak God commands and as you speak His words, you shall have what you say. 

"And nothing will be too much for you. This mountain, for instance: Just say, "Go jump in the lake'--no shuffling or shilly-shallying--and it's as good as done. (Mark. 11.23 MSG)

Good day,
Have a great day today,

What's in a name?

What's in a name?  "He named him Noah, saying, "This one will give us a break from the hard work of farming the ground that GOD cursed." (Gen.5.29)  Names have prophetic attributes in them. When a thing is named, the name defines what it does and what it cannot do. When a person is named, his future is foretold, especially when the persons parents are in tune with the agenda of God. But that person has to work to bring that prophecy to reality.  John the baptist was a case in point when the wrong name would have been given. If the parent had not listened and obeyed God's instruction but instead bow to family and societal pressure.  "And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John." (Luke.1.60)  Another example is Benjamin, the second son from the loved-wife of Jacob. As the mother was dying from the pain of childbirth, he called the child Benoni but his father says not so, he shall be called Benjamin  "With her las...

Jesus is the answer to the sin problem

Jesus is the answer to the sin problem  "When he served as a sacrifice for our sins, he solved the sin problem for good--not only ours, but the whole world's". (1John.1.2 MSB) When Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, the sin passed through them to all men. And so the Bible recorded that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.  "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:" (Rom.5.12)  But that was just the beginning of the story. Sin entered the world, and death came as a result of sin. It appears that mankind was doomed.  But Jesus came and served the punishment for sin and in so doing, He solved the sin problem for good. Now mankind has access once again to the Father. Now everything the Father has for us is at our disposal. Now we can reign by Jesus Christ and receive the abundance that God has for us.  "For if by one man's offence death reigned b...

"Law man" or God's man

Image
The law in one sense was a defective reflection of God. It reflected who God is; though not a perfect reflection. The law says don't steal, God does not steal. The law says do not lie, God does not lie, etc. But there was more to God that law could not show or give to us. As a result, God has given us His grace. His grace was not just a reflection of Himself but was God Himself. The law would should you what to do but could not grant you the ability to do it but grace did not just show you, He did it for us. The essence of the law was to satisfy God but grace came and did that on behalf of mankind. The reason why the Apostle says here that he quiets being a 'law man' but instead became God's man "What actually took place is this: I tried keeping rules and working my head off to please God, and it didn't work. So I quit being a "law man" so that I could be God's man". (Gal.2.18 MSG) Are you 'law man' who is still strivi...
