CHANGING YOUR SHIP

Mathew 4:18(And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for the were fishers. 19 And he saith unto them, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. 21 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. 22 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him).

Life is a journey; and everyone wants to be safe including the wicked ones; what makes this journey unique is because whether you go through the road, the air and the sea we have only one captain that has been tested and trusted who can get us to our destination without any harm. The earlier we discover who our captain is and align ourselves with him the faster and smoother our journey will be. Our coming to this world will be in vain if we did not know who the captain of our destiny is. Jesus Christ is the only trusted captain of our destiny; he is the way; the truth and life itself; because He is the way he will never miss it and following him is our assurance that we are going to arrive at our destination safely. The scripture says that you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free (John 8:32). This particular scripture is telling us that our freedom from captivity lies in the truth and Jesus Christ is the truth. Jesus Christ’s ship is the safest and most reliable ship to enter as we continue in our journey of destiny. It is okay to change ship if you are not sure of the one you are in because going through the sea can be stormy and dangerous; in this ship your life belt can only work if you have connection with Jesus. He is life itself which means he is in possession of the life belt. Many have died as a result of the stormy issue in their lives which they were unable to solve; but that will not be you in Jesus name. Andrew, Peter, John and James knew that their father’s ships were not saved for them and as soon as they found Jesus they changed their ship. We all in one way or the other have made this decision or had to make this decision of changing our ship; It was the best decision that the disciples made because it opens up their glorious destiny. Their journey to greatness began when they jumped out of their father’s ship and entered Jesus’s ship. They knew the extent of their father’s strength and they’re not going to risk their lives and jeopardize their destiny by staying with him. A good assessment of our lives will help us to make the right decision if we really want a change of story. While the disciples were in the ship with Christ the storm came but they were saved even though their faith shook. He did not say we are not going to face trouble but he promises us victory because he has overcome (John 16:33). No matter how little our faith is, we will overcome because as long as you continue with him your faith will grow over time. He will always stretch forth his hand to rescue whoever calls on him so long as you are in his ship your safety is guaranteed. When he is in your ship you have nothing to worry about because in his ship there is peace and safety, in his ship destiny manifestation becomes easy. Jonah entered the wrong ship and found himself in the belly of fish; he repented and cried out from the belly of fish and God commanded the fish to vomit him on the dry ground (Jonah 2:1-2). It doesn’t matter how long you have been in the wrong ship, what is important now is your decision to change your ship. That stormy issue would soon be over if you will make a bold decision, entering Jesus Christ’s ship is a life changing encounter just as it happens to the disciples. He called the disciples and they answered his call; He is calling you right now through the voice of this message to join his ship and let him be the captain of your destiny and you will not miss it in Jesus name. Please do not harden your heart; it is your turn to encounter destiny in Jesus name. So, hurry up and enter; there is no time. This salvation prayer below is your only ticket to be in his ship.

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.

THE ROAD TO PERFECTION (FOLLOWING JESUS) MATTHEW 5:44-48

Matthew 5:48(Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect).

Proverbs 4:18(But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day).

Matthew 19:21(Jesus said unto him, if thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me).

Life is a journey and Christianity is a call to perfection; as a believer we are called into this race to be made perfect. We are called to be transformed into the perfect image of God; that is the goal that Him who calls us into this race wants to achieve. Which means perfection is a journey and every journey begins with the first step. Salvation is the first step towards perfection; the day you give your life to Christ is the day your journey begins. It is a gradual process and it is doable. 2 Corinthian 3:17(Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty. 18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord). The Spirit of the Lord is God Himself, He is the power of God and this Spirit is released upon us as soon as we give our life to Christ. At new birth we are initiated into a life of freedom by the Spirit of the Lord; we are liberated totally, our mind is being liberated to see clearly the image of God in a glass and then we can now begin to change into that same image gradually until we are made perfect. without the Spirit of God a life of perfection will be an illusion because we cannot do it by our own power as it is written, that by strength shall no man prevail (2 Samuel 2:9). Zechariah 4:6(Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, this is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit say the LORD of hosts). If perfection is a journey which means there is a road that leads to it. If the goal is to be like God, then we need to be perfect because our God is perfect. God will not ask us to become what He has not empowered us to be (John 1:12).  Following Jesus is the only way to perfection, Jesus told the good rich man in one of our anchor scriptures today to follow him in order to be made perfect but he turned back. The rich man has obeyed all the rules in the book of Moses but the only thing he lacks is salvation and without salvation no man can enter heaven. Holiness is must if we must be perfect because He that calls us to live a life of perfection is Holy. 1 Peter 1:15(But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy).  If He is the way and we need to follow Him which means we need to cleanse ourselves and stay away from every appearance of evil because He is a good God and His eyes cannot behold iniquity (1 Thessalonians 5:22-23). We have been empowered to drop all the properties of Satan at new birth because if we hold onto it he will come for it. The man of sin will not leave you alone until you drop all his properties in your possession and set yourself free from him (2 Thessalonians 2:3). You just need to activate the power that was deposited in you at new birth and he will begin to transform you gradually from glory to glory. We are all working in progress until we get to our destination in heaven which is the perfect day. You that are reading this message, I pray for you right now that you will not miss the perfect day in Jesus name. Satanic properties include Lies, Idolatry, fornication, witchcraft, disobedience and etc. please do not hold onto them anymore, you have a glorious destiny in front of you, don’t trade it for any reason. It is God’s will for all men to be saved and that is why He is always giving us the opportunity to make it right with Him (1 Timothy2:4). If you have not started your journey with Him, please make a decision to start now it is never too late and in case you have already started but you draw back; this is the best time to reconnect by praying this salvation prayer below. 

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.

TURNING YOUR WATER INTO WINE

John 2:1(And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: 2 And  Jesus was called, and his disciples to the marriage. 3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith to him, they have no wine. 5 His mother saith unto the servants, whatsoever he saith unto you , do it. 6 And there were set there six water pots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. 7 Jesus saith unto them, fill the water pots with water. And fill them to the brim. 8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and give the governor of the feast. And they bare it. 9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew).

There is no situation too difficult for God to change because with him all things are possible. In God’s calendar there is no hopeless situation; the first miracle Jesus Christ did was to change a hopeless and embarrassing situation into a testimony. The later wine was greater than the former; that’s exactly what he wants to do for you if you will allow him. The process of turning water into wine requires chemical reaction and the catalyst for that reaction that took place at the wedding in Canaan was obedient to divine instruction. “Until our obedience is complete our miracle is not in view” Bishop David Oyedepo. For every change of story in any man’s life there is something that triggers it and one of those triggers is obedience. The mother of Jesus told the servants that whatsoever Jesus asked them to do they should do it. There are ways to do things; we may be doing the right thing in the wrong way. In this kingdom our change of story answers to our complete obedient to divine instruction. Jesus would have got the water himself but he asked the servant at the wedding to do it and he gave them clear and detailed instructions on how they should do it. He asked them to fill the water pot to the brim which means if they disobey his instruction or even fill the pots half way there will be no miracle or if they refuse to draw from the pot and give it to the master of the wedding. It was step by step instruction; that’s how God leads his children, no shortcut. They neither doubt him nor analyze his instruction; most of the time it is too much analysis of divine instruction that robs us of our miracle. God is not responsible for our total change of story; we have a part to play until our own part is fulfilled; our miracle will not manifest. It is your responsibility to obey and carry out the instruction that will lead to your change of story. Peter was a professional fisherman but he was frustrated because he toiled all the night and could not catch a fish but his encounter with Jesus set him free from frustration and failure. Jesus Christ did not help him to catch the fish; it was a pure divine instruction; he said let down your nets for a catch; even though he argued, he eventually obeyed and still laid down one instead of nets (Luke 5:4-7). Every one of my converts that obeyed this simple analysis of turning water into wine has had their testimony. I do tell them that when they come to church they should follow the instruction; give your life to Christ; go through foundation class and the water baptism and watch God changing your story. Those who obey this simple instruction are no longer where they used to be; the scripture cannot be broken. Jesus is still the same yesterday, today and forever. I know you want a change of story no matter the level you are now; it is in the nature of man to grow. I don’t know which area of your life you want God to intervene and change your situation, I have good news for you; as you chose to do what he has asked you to do today your miracle will manifest in Jesus name. Every secret tear will be wiped away today in Jesus' name. There is no substitute for obedience. Abraham is a typical example of what obedience can do in the life of anyone; as you follow his footstep today you will never remain the same way. You can only obey those who you trust and have a relationship with. Jesus Christ was invited to that wedding and he saved them from an embarrassing situation and the scripture said ‘this beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee’ John 2:11a. He is waiting for you to invite Him into your life in case He is not there yet; do it by praying this salvation prayer below and today will be the beginning of His miracle in your life in Jesus name.

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.

UNLOCKING YOUR POTENTIAL

Every child of God has the potential to be great; at redemption a seed of greatness is deposited into us but we need to water it with the word of life in order for it to be activated. We have a destiny of no limit in Christ Jesus; it is as far as our eyes can see which means we are the one to determine the limit we want to reach in life. The price for our greatness has been paid by Christ Jesus with his blood; we are not required to pay a dime for it, all he wants from us is permission to lead us through the journey of greatness. What is inside cannot be seen and what is covered cannot be seen; if we have what it takes to be great locked inside us then it needs to be unlocked and brought to the open for all to see and glorify our father in heaven. The password to unlock our potential is inside us; just like your room when it is locked without the right key you cannot enter inside even though it is your room. Jesus said in Matthew 16:19(And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven). This scripture makes us understand that we have been given power to command and whatever we command will answer to us, that the heaven will recognize our voice and that’s the most important aspect of it. Revelation 1:18(I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death). Whoever has the key to any door has the power because without the key no one can enter. Jesus Christ promised to give Peter the keys to command authority both in heaven and on earth; we all can attest to it that he gave him the keys because he commanded an exploit. What answer to Jesus answers to them also and that’s his desire for every one of his children. Adam has the keys and lost it to Satan because of sin and since then Satan has been in possession of the keys but he does not have it anymore. What he has now is counterfeit and he is using it to play mind games on the believer who has no understanding of their redemption. He was defeated in the cross of Calvary; while Jesus Christ was dead for 3 days, those 3 days were used to collect the keys from Satan and the keys were given to me and you. That’s why Jesus told his disciples to wait in Jerusalem until he gave them the keys and as soon as the keys was given to them they began to do exploit (Matthew 24:49); at first they too did not understand the full extent of their power but as soon as they do the Pharisee knew that power has change hand. I pray for someone reading this message, today your enemies will know that power has changed hands in Jesus name. Understanding is the most important key that believers need, because without understanding who we really are, our journey here on earth will be in vain. The bible says in proverbs 4:7(Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding). Here is our redemptive package; every child of God has these seeds of greatness deposited in them at new birth. Revelations 5:12(Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing). Understanding is what will make you know that you have all this potential inside of you and understanding comes by studying the word of God which is the manufacturer’s manual. Through understanding you will know the right key to unlock wealth, glory, and etc. For example through understanding we learn that you can unlock your riches by the covenant of giving and receiving. Secondly, the wise shall inherit the glory and he that winneth soul is wise and he that honors me, I will honor; it is three in one package because it carries wisdom and glory and honor (Proverbs 3:35, 11:30). In the multitudes of people is king honor (Proverbs 14:28), if you honor the king of kings by bringing multitudes into his kingdom he will honor you also (1 Samuel 2:30). And if you want to have all at once, there is one scripture that can give you all at once as God reveal to His servant Bishop David Oyedepo, in Matthew 6:33(But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you). You can die and go to heaven without manifesting any of these packages because you refused to unlock them. It is your gift I cannot open them for you; it is your responsibility to unlock your potential because they are right inside of you. John 1:12(But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name). He has the keys but he can only give to those who believe in him and you are only empowered to become what you receive and believe; so, receive him today and be blessed in Jesus name.

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.

GUARD YOUR ROYAL ROBE: PART 2 (EXAMPLE OF KING DAVID)

Psalms 118:8(It is better to trust the LORD than to put confidence in man).

1 Samuel 17:32(And David said to Saul, let no man’s heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine. 33 And Saul said to David, thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth. 34 And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father’s sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock: 35 and I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him and slew him).

As we continue in this topic “Guard your royal robe” our confidence in God is our royal robe; that’s what makes us who we are in Christ Jesus. Our confidence in God is the God in us because without him we are just ordinary men and women. 1 John 4:4(Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world).  A child of a goat is a goat and a child of God is god. John 10:34(Jesus answered them, is it not written in your law, I said, ye are gods?) Psalm 82:6(I have said, ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most high). Until you make yourself god over those situations you will not be able to defeat them. God told Moses that he had made him god unto Pharaoh and he went in the consciousness of that word to defeat Pharaoh (Exodus 7:1). It is not your fault that you are god, that’s who you are by redemption; a vivid knowledge of your redemptive right brings about confidence which is your royal robe and you need to wear it with pride for it to work perfectly. King David wore his royal robe with pride because he was already a king even though King Saul was their earthly king then (1 Samuel 17). It is only a blind man that will not see David’s royal robe. Goliath saw his royal robe but he thought he could stripe it of him, because that’s the only way he would be able to defeat the king that’s coming to challenge him but he fail because this king voice is already registered in heaven, and whatever he says heaven does (Matthew 16:19). God made David god unto Goliath; it was God in David that defeated Goliath, the bear and the lion. Our confidence in God is the God in us and the enemy cannot root Him out except we permit him. Job 18:14(His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors).  Satan is a terrorist, he uses fear to conquer his victim and that’s why God says that He has not given us the spirit of fear but of power, and of love and of sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). We are ordained a king and a Queen to rule over our situation; please don’t permit them to rule over you. David knew he was a king; it is not pride, it is who he is as a covenant child and he knows it. David has to convince king Saul and his armies that he killed bear and lion and only the king that has his voice registered in heaven does that and they agreed with him. Friends, Satan knows that you are royalty and that’s why he wants to strip you naked off your royal robe by bombarding you with all those challenges but if you will hold on to your royal robe he will fail. Your confidence is the number one target of the enemy; when he shoots his arrow he will aim at it. It is your armor, that’s why David said that he does not need any armor from the king that he has not proved. He has an armor that he has tested and sure of, which is his royal robe, his confidence in God. 1 Samuel 17:39(And David girded his sword upon his sword upon his armour and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him). God said we should trust only Him and that was exactly what David told King Saul indirectly that he does not trust him. God went ahead to prove to us why we should not trust men using the same people David and Saul as an example. We all know how long King Saul pursues David to kill him. If David trusted in Saul armor the first time it would have been easy for Saul to kill him. It was recorded that David never loses any battle because he trusted in God; his confidence in God was something else. He was like a baby to God, a lamb but to his enemy he was a lion. He was a man after God’s heart (1 Samuel 13:14); God want you to be a man and a woman after His own heart because His searches the heart every second to see whose heart is after his own; may you be the next person to be found in Jesus name (1 Chronicles 28:9). The book of psalm will tell you the kind of relationship David has with God. If you think you have enemies go through the book Psalm you will know that you have no enemy. All those enemies of David could not defeat him because of his confidence in God; if you follow his footstep they will not defeat you and you will come out victorious in Jesus name. The first step in our relationship with God is salvation and this simple prayer below will usher you into that relationship.

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.

GUARD YOUR ROYAL ROBE: PART 1 (THE EXAMPLE OF DANIEL, SHADRACH, MESHACH AND ABEDNEGO) DANIEL 3 AND 6

Job 18:14(His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors).

Daniel 3:15(Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands? 16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter. 17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. 18 But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up).

2 Kings 18:19(And Rab-shakeh said unto them, speak ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, what confidence is this wherein thou trustiest?).

We were made to understand that Kings and Queens have a kingdom, a throne, a scepter of authority, a crown and a royal robe. In this kingdom our royal robe as kings and Queens ordained to rule here on earth is our confidence in God who has chosen us to be His own; our confidence is our strength (Isaiah 30:15).Without our royal robe we are like ordinary men and women who have no kingdom to rule and that’s exactly why the enemies are after our royal robe. A crown on a king’s head without his royal robe will make the king look like a clown but that will not be you in Jesus name. Our confidence in God is what makes us unique; it differentiates us from ordinary men and women. We are no longer a nonentity; we command respect and authority anywhere we go. The worldly kings do not command the kind of authority we command while because their voice is only backed by them and the people who install them. The King of kings says in Matthew 16:19(And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven). Luke 10:19(Behold, I give you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you). Daniel and his friends were aware of their royal robe and they wore it with pride; they knew the limit of the power of the king of Babylon, that he had no authority over their lives. The king of Babylon, as powerful as he was then, does not even have power to control lions and fire but the four Hebrew boys, Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego do. A king without his royal robe is not a king. Now that you are born again, you are a king and you need to build up your confidence in him who has called you. Hebrews 10:35(cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward). And if your royal robe is intact please protect it because your adversary is roaming around looking for a royal robe to steal but you will not be his victim in Jesus name. Job 18:14(His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors). Satan is the king of terror but if our royal robe is intact he cannot penetrate us nor can he terrorize us. Friends, your confidence in God is the God inside you; for it is written 1 John 4:4(Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world).  Royal robes belong to kings and queens; you need to be the sons or daughters of God before you can receive a royal robe because he made us kings and priests unto God (Revelation 1:6). It is through Jesus Christ that we received our royal robe and it is our continuous abiding in him that we can guard it (John 15:4). In case you have not received Jesus as your Lord and savior, here is another opportunity; do it and be blessed in Jesus name.

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.

DISCOVERING YOUR PURPOSE

John 1:23(He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias).

Luke 4:18(The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. 20a And he closed the book).

As a believer we are redeemed to live a life of purpose here on earth; knowing who you are will always give you confidence and boldness to move forward in life. Devil will always want to paint a negative picture of us but the true knowledge of yourself is what you need to disarm him. The question should be who am I? Everyone should be able to answer this simple question confidently. The bible is our guide in discovering our purpose in life because everything concerning us is written. Jesus Christ discovered who he was in the scripture likewise John the Baptist. If you develop the habit of studying the bible you will find your place. In the year 2011, I was praying and open a particular passage in the bible and it speak to me directly and the spirit of God spoke to me and said that’s you; since then I started to meditate on it and the Lord begin to work on me to reflect the real picture of who I am created to be. I am still a work in progress; the journey continues and no devil can tell me otherwise because I know who Nene Isah is. Mathew 4:18(And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. 19 And he saith unto them, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. 21 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. 22 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him).The disciples discovered their purpose immediately they found Jesus. Without the knowledge of the word that was spoken by the prophet they may never discover their purpose. Deep inside, the disciples knew that the time had come for them to pursue their purpose here on earth. They dropped their net, left their father and ship to follow Jesus and today we are still talking about them. A man and a woman of purpose do not need motivation to pursue their agenda. Purpose is self-driving and self-motivated. Peter kept failing as a fisherman because it was not his original purpose even after Jesus Christ was crucified he tried again and failed. Peter was a very good preacher because that was his call; signs and wonders were done by his hand. He was the rock upon which the church of Christ was built (Mathew 16:18). Discovering your purpose in life requires spiritual sensitivity. Jesus Christ after he was Baptist still went to the wilderness for prayer and fasting; he returned with power and then he found where his assignment was written in the scripture. Your eyes of understanding need to be opened in order to discover your purpose; in case you have not still found your purpose you can engage in prayer and fasting and ask God to reveal himself to you. Jesus said he was anointed to heal the sick and deliver the oppressed and many more; John the Baptist said he was the voice crying in the wilderness clearing the way for the messiah and to preach the Gospel of repentance. They have a clear definition of their assignment; God wants every one of his children to have the knowledge and clear definition of their purpose here on earth. That’s why he instructed prophet Habakkuk to write the vision clearly so that those who will read may understand it and run with it (Habakkuk 2:2). The bible did not tell us that Jesus' disciples took permission or consult anyone before following Jesus; Apostle Paul said he did not take permission from any to answer the call of heaven. Bishop David Oyedepo said that he consults no man, he just answers his call. The reason why so many are still confused even after discovering their purpose is because they want man’s approval. Peter spoke boldly about Christ and was full of knowledge because it was his purpose. But when discovered by any man they sacrifice every other thing for it, the Apostles live a life of sacrifice. Those people in the parable of the kingdom of heaven sold everything to pursue their purpose but the rich man refused to do the same and he lost out (Matthew 19:21-22). When I gave my life to Christ I did not consult any man I just did what is best for me and now I can boldly talk about purpose. I was not born a Christian but I was predestined to be a Christian; now I am proud to be a Christian and I market Jesus. Friends, Jesus Christ is still calling people today in order to make them who they are destined to be and you are not excluded.  In case you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior, this is right time to do so and be blessed in Jesus name

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
