You need to be F.A.T. for this journey!

‭Zechariah 4:6 KJV‬

[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, saith the LORD of hosts. 


From academics to career wise to marriage to posterity. There are inseparable qualities that must not be found lacking in an individual that wants to be extraordinary, a leader that wants to be phenomenal and respected. What is needed? F.A.T.


You need to add more flesh if you want to be different, you can't run this race without this backing, in fact the man that God will use has to be F.A.T. What is the meaning of this? Faithful. Available. Teachable.


Faithful.

Are you trustworthy? Can someone give you a task with the assurance that it is already as good as done? Are you reliable? Are you responsible? Are you accountable for your words and actions? Are you a different person in the day and the night? Are you 

Faithful? Are you Faithful to God and His will? 


Available.

It's all nice when you are good at something, when you know something, when you are the go-to guy for that thing but what's the use if you don’t make yourself accessible and available? You need to be available to be used by God. You need to be available to be assigned a task. Are you available? Do you have sufficient power, force, or efficacy to achieve your purpose?


Teachable.

I know you are celebrated, in fact you are the guru in that field. Unopposed, as no one qualifies to be your competition. In your eyes, you probably do the most and constructive criticism isn't exactly your "forte". Are you teachable? Can you be corrected and taught the right direction or a better means of achieving something? Are you upset when a "rookie" suggests a means that is vividly lucrative? A wise man said, "Your leaders' suggestions are instructions." Can you submit to authority? Are you humble?


I pray that God will give us direction, speed and accuracy. That we are led by the Spirit of God all the days of our lives and we live for God and fulfill our destinies in Jesus' name, amen.


The grace of the Lord be with you all. Shalom.

A Life.

John 14:6 NIV [6] Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.  Life is defined as a worthwhile existence. A lot of people are alive but are not actually living. Are you really living? Is your life characterised by some daily routine: sleep, eat, greet and repeat? Hey friend, there's more to life! There's so much in store for you. Don't live a casual life to please someone or conform to a standard or to criteria that don't speak truth. Do you want to be true? God has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light to show forth His praises and to fulfill destiny. What does His word say? It says in 3 John:2 that He wishes above all things that you prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers. Also, Jeremiah 29:11 says that the thoughts God thinks about you are thoughts of peace and not evil, to give you an expected end. There is a void in everyone's life that can only be filled by Jesus. Jesus is t...

Patience (Not Ozokwor)

I’m going to be real with you, being patient is hard. Whether it’s waiting for a text back, sitting in Lagos traffic, dealing with slow internet speed, or wondering when life will finally make sense, patience is one of those things we all wish we had but don’t enjoy developing. And yet, it’s a Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). Meaning, it’s something God expects to grow in us, not something we magically wake up with. But how do you stay patient when everything around you screams, “Do it now! Get it now! Why are you waiting?!” Why Do We Even Need Patience? Patience isn’t just about sitting still and waiting, it’s about trusting God’s timing when things aren’t going our way. Think about Abraham. God promised him descendants as numerous as the stars (Genesis 15:5), but he had to wait 25 years before Isaac was born. David was anointed as king in his teenage years but didn’t take the throne until he was 30 (1 Samuel 16, 2 Samuel 5:4). Even Jesus, the Son of God, spent 30 years in pre...

God

Text: Genesis 1:1 KJV [1]In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. According to the text, God is the Creator. He made all things in a  perfect manner. He created humans in His own image. Everyone was made beautiful, irrespective of the world's standard of beauty. Psalms 139:14 [14]I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. At times, we might feel that we weren't created to our taste. You know what I mean, some of the times, we wish we were taller, had a better body physique and all.  I just want you to know that God, the Greatest One, created you in the best way. Therefore, appreciate your beauty and love yourself. God is a good God that He created man in His own likeness, knowing fully well that He is the most beautiful One. Isn't that wonderful ? Henceforth, whenever we look at ourselves, let's appreciate God for who He is by admitting and confessing that He is our Creator. H...
