STREAMS OF GREATNESS

GOD IS SO SPECIFIC ABOUT YOUR DESTINY JUST LIKE NOAH’S ARK “This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high. Make a roof for it, leaving below the roof an opening one cubit high all around. Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks.” Genesis 6:15-16. God is specific about every creature on the face of the earth, human inclusive. He is a God of purpose and detailed description. Out of the multitude who tarry to inquire from God about their destinies, we have some who listen patiently and follow wholeheartedly, we also have those who listen hurriedly and also follow the limited information received dogmatically and they end up celebrating uncompleted assignments and half-baked success. I understand we live in a generation where people wants to see the result now! So we are all in a rat race to please people around us. We are so much under pressure that we hav

IF THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL USE JUST ONE MAN ON EARTH, I WANT TO BE THAT MAN, I AM SURE THAT IS ALSO THE CRY OF YOUR HEART  BY ADEDIRE ADEKANBI  Oh Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth. You have set your glory in the heavens and placed your Spirit in us, the coheirs with Jesus, sons, that we may replicate your rule in heaven here on earth. He that carries God's Spirit carries His signature. When a man carries God's signature he becomes a link between heaven and earth. It is God’s utmost desire that His will be done on earth, even as it is done in heaven. This replica is brought to bear through vessels that carry God's signature. Your Spirit is a portal that gives access to the expression of heaven on earth. But this portal must be open to intercourse with the Holy Spirit for flow of heavenly radiance. By implication of this, you become a link between the Spirit realm and the physical realm, wherever you are. When your Spirit is in ri

SECONDS–MINUTES–HOURS–DAYS–MONTHS–YEARS I was in Church on a Sunday morning and we went through a praise section that was sound enough to make you dance. The sound system was wao! You feel like dancing like its your last opportunity to do so.  And then when you hear songs like ‘we go dey hail, hail your name, day by day, all the way', you want to throw your hands in the air and give God some praise, you know. Youths don’t hear songs like that and remain in the same position, you want to change your position as if you want God to really know that you are hailing Him. But then, right in front of me was this old man, his face was aglow, enjoying the beat, and most assuredly was amazed at the vigor of the youth, the strength and enthusiasm.  He was looking so handsome, as the smile brightened his face, his gray hair neatly combed. It looked like he felt like jumping up too and digging it like it was going on around him, but the strength wasn’t there. As I looke

UNCOMPROMISING CHRISTIANS NEEDED AT SUCH A TIME AS THIS The devil is sure of what he wants, he has a target, and he is working day and night to achieve his goal because he knows that his time is too short. You can't wage war against such without being sure of your stand in Christ. Those who keep God’s command and hold fast their testimony about Jesus are threat to the kingdom of darkness. For these tools are important in the life of every Christian, washed by the blood and sanctified.   The bible says that this is the whole duty of man, keep His commandments. Let His commandments be written on the table of your heart. For this is how we show that we love him really, not by lifting up hands and singing praises or being emotional, but by keeping His commands, His word. He that keeps His command shall never be moved but shall abide forever. The word of God endures for evermore, you can’t feed on it constantly and that same enduring power it carries will not enter i

STAY HUNGRY, A SPIRITUAL STRUCTURE IS COMING FORTH Those who worship small gods serve whom they do not know. But then, what is the difference? if you are in the kingdom and yet do not know God, the King intimately. You are equally serving whom you don’t know. Salvation is the foundation your spiritual structure stands on. When you lay the foundation of a building, and you refuse to build on it, it remains at that level. A structure does not suddenly appear on it, it must be erected.  The builder is God by the Holy spirit, you are the building. Your yieldedness to the holy spirit facilitates the building process to the end that you may become a spiritual structure. The building process is a process of making, intimate knowing, pruning and sharpening to the end that our mind aligns with the mind of God. As you grow in God’s knowledge, you are building a spiritual structure.  This process of making is not an easy one but it is a sure one. Continue to build, a

DO YOU HAVE A WITNESS IN YOU WHEN YOU HEAR OR LISTEN TO SONGS BIRTH FROM THE WOMB OF THE SPIRIT? Every song inspiration is backed upon by a spirit, it came out from a source. So, when you embrace a song, you embrace the spirit behind the song. Your spirit becomes one with the spirit behind the song. The more you listen and sing the song, the more you submit yourself to the spirit behind the song. By and by, your spirit becomes open to whatever that spirit is capable of doing. Since God made us in His image, God is Spirit and He created us in that similitude. It takes a spiritual man to effectively fellowship with God, because it is a fellowship between Spirits. The bible says God is Spirit and those that will worship Him must do it in Spirit and truth. That is telling us that not all worship we render is acceptable. True worship is a fellowship between spirits, a dimension of operation where the Holy Spirit takes hold of your Spirit to worship God.  You can n

GOD IS INTERESTED IN WHAT YOU CAN BECOME  BY ADEDIRE ADEKANBI God selected twelve disciples, people who in their days were not relevant men, only known within their scope of jurisdiction. God looked at them and saw what mere physical eyes and reasoning could not capture. His eyes saw beyond the moment, he saw their future even before He choose them. He saw great Apostles in weak and beggarly men of little or no reputation. He labored over them till what He had envisioned materialized. Now, we have the twelve Apostles of faith, thank God for their yieldedness, the Holy Spirit made it happen. God looked upon the notorious Saul, a man who consented to the death of Steven and engineered many atrocities against the Christians. God saw in him an Apostle to the gentiles, and when the fullness of time came, he encountered Christ and he did great exploit. His impact is trans generation, it will ever remain relevant. God is not interested in your past. He is interested i

SUCK WITH SINCERITY AND WATCH YOURSELF GROW BY THE HELP OF THE SPIRIT BY ADEDIRE ADEKANBI When a baby is born, the mother takes responsibility and ensure he feeds properly on breast milk with the eagerness to see rapid growth take place in the child.  The process of a baby going from crawling stage to sitting and then to standing is a process of growth facilitated by intake of adequate nutrient coupled with an enabling and welcoming environment that encourages growth. The child gains balance with his/her feet and walks confidently. The bible also emphasizes growth in the knowledge of God. A process where a new born babe grows to full maturity and stature. “As new born babe, desire the sincere milk of the word that you may grow thereby”. Desire, hunger, passion to grow is key to the growth process. Not an experience borne out of compulsion, willingness facilitates enjoying the process. In this Kingdom, God is the King and ruler, a process of getting to know t

FAITH PLUS WORK IS KEY TO MAXIMIZING YOUR LIFE  BY ADEDIRE ADEKANBI If you have not found your track, merry go rounding is a sure thing. Finding your place presupposes finding relevance in your world. An average Christian believes he is born of a victorious seed, some that are exposed to deep teachings often confess that they are not ordinary. We have too much of Christian talking about who they ought to be than being who and what they are called or designed to be.  Are we also seeing the same thing, how that half of the time we ought to spend working is spent talking. Now, your faith alone does not procure your yearnings. Something is lacking and that is ‘Work'. Faith plus Work is the key! Am aware of how an average person prefers to confess the word rather than taking responsibility. We have divine deposits in us, God invested in all that He created. Deploying these God given abilities in advancing the Kingdom is part of the process many have not

ARE YOU TIRED OF NORMAL AND COMMON IDEOLOGIES?  BY ADEDIRE ADEKANBI God has told us many things about our existence here on earth either by first hand revelations or through prophesies, to the end that we might not live like ordinary men but press to be equipped to function properly in His will for us. We have too much revelations to run with, therefore staying empty is not an option for us. Those revelations must live our head, rest In our Spirit, find expression in us and through us. We can’t afford to die like a chicken and be a barrier to what God wants to make of us. For what shall it profit a man to have divine revelations that never materialized. We are submitting this revelations on the altar of intense prayer and supplication. We are not venturing into things by mere guess work. We want to move with precision and accuracy of direction of operation. We have spent too much time chewing this revelations in the mouth, we want to see their manifestation

LIFE BATTLES AIN'T GETTING EASIER, WE ARE COMMANDED TO GET STRONGER BY ADEDIRE ADEKANBI The Christian life is a battle, in fact, life itself is a battle ground. Someone said: What is life but a great battle, lasting from our earliest days until we sheathe sword in death? We have victory in Christ Jesus, the cross procured victory and authority over battles of life. We are not ignorant, we don’t pray to God never to give us problem. We have God's word written on the table of our heart. It says that in this world we shall have tribulations, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. The advantage we have over life battles is that, we won even before we started the fight. “For in this things we are more than conqueror through Christ that strengthens  us. But then, we lay hold on this authority bequeathed to us in Christ by revelation, not just by confession. We fight daily, but not in the flesh, for we wrestle not against flesh and blood, b

WE ARE FRAIL BUT FOR HIS SPIRIT BY ADEDIRE ADEKANBI FRAIL means Easily broken, mentally or physically fragile, not firm, or durable, liable to fail and perish, easily destroyed, not tenacious of life; weak, infirm. Liable to fall from virtue or be led into sin, not strong against temptation weak in resolution, unchaste. Someone wrote: It is scary to realize you are not in control, until you realize that God has perfect control. It’s actually a relief to find out you don’t have to work so hard to keep it all together. We will fail and fail again without the help of the Holy Spirit. We are fragile, weak, void of strength, we can’t do good, can’t make right decisions, we obviously can’t think right without Him. We will fall into temptations again and again and again! For the weakness of man takes the lead without the help of God's Spirit. We are too frail to command results, we will amount to nothing, live for nothing, work for nothing, and labor in vain  if
