" DRIED BONES "

 


Basically, everyone likes either chicken, turkey, meat or fish. The process of nurturing the animals which provide these protein till the point of being made available for use is not a playful exercise. Most of us cannot eat our meal without any of these so called protein. When we strip these so called proteins off their flesh we end up with bones, Some bones are crackable while some are not. The uncrackable bones eventually gets discarded since they have become useless we throw them in our dustbins or incinerators as the case may be. Going back to check probably few days after we see the extent to which the bones are dried, lifeless and dull and one could not have said it was from them that the sumptuous flesh was previously gotten before they turned out to be what they have become.

This little illustration above can be used to denote the lives of believers, there could have been a point in time that as believers we were flourishing and blossoming as a result of the capabilities deposited in us by the Father just as the way the animals must have been nurtured to the point of use. Along the line, we could have gotten involved in atrocities that rids us off our prior blossoming and flourishing flesh i.e potentials in Christ hereby making us emaciated just as the way the flesh of the so called proteins were gotten off their bones and eventually leading to dryness. A dry bone physically is most likely of no use, it does not possess life and the sight is not pleasing to the eye, so it is spiritually.

A good news to us all is that no matter how dry we must have become we can still receive life, In the book of  ( Ezekiels chp 37: 1-15) we would see how the Father restored life to the bones that were dried by giving out His Sprit into them and they lived. These bones here scripturally represented the house of Isreal. 

In conclusion, dryness is not good for children of God and most especially spiritual dryness is not a good thing to reckon with as it becomes evident in all spheres of such individual's life. As such the Father is calling us to receive His Spirit into our dried bones so that we can live and flourish again. This can be made possible by acknowledging our sins, renouncing them and being determined to retain the knowledge of Christ in us. May the good Lord bless us as we do so. Amen


PRAYER POINT: Father, I command every dry bone in my life to receive fresh breath and flesh from above, Amen.

FUEL IT UP!!!

 When I was in primary school I was part of the girls guide. we usually go for weekend camping in any agreed location and I remember that whenever we were at camp, we always have the camp fire at night and everyone will be dancing around it. Whenever the fire goes down, we will put leaves and some other petrochemical substances to enable it burn well. Going through the books of Mathew 25, the story of the 10 virgins ignited a spark in me and I realized instantly that to keep anything burning, we need substances to fuel it up just as we did at the camp whenever the camp fire goes down. Also, most of us have generators in our various homes and I can imagine how much we would feel helpless when we cannot get fuel to power our generators especially when we have a very interesting show coming up or a football match and the electricity distribution company decided to keep the light off. Brethren, reading through Mathew 25: 1-13, we would have a better understanding of what it means to fuel u

BEHIND THE SCENES

 If someone wants to write and pass an examination, I want to believe that a successful candidate will want to ensure that no stone is left to guarantee such individual's success. I remembered a scenario I found myself during my final examination. You know that euphoria of "I am now a finalist" did grip me and I failed to prepare adequately before the final examination day and the funniest part was I was trusting in seat formation as we always say then in Uni as I believed that if I could have a good seat arrangement I would tap from my colleagues who were more knowledgeable. Behold, a very strict invigilator was in attendance that fateful day and the whole plan was distorted. Remembering this issue and going through the books of Esther, Daniel and 2nd Chronicles gave me a deeper understanding of the three words "Behind the Scenes". What does this even mean scripturally? Before I give a definition I would like to make another illustration to buttress my earlier

The Price of Destiny

                              In General terms, the price attached to a product or service is the value of such product or service. This explains why priority is placed on some products or services than the other. The fluctuation in exchange rate of different countries to another gives a deeper understanding of the value attached to different country's currencies. The economists say the price of a commodity confers value on such commodity. A person with a thousand dollar undoubtedly has more purchasing power than another with a thousand naira.  Speaking of what the price of destiny means, we can say it is the value of destiny, the sacrifice needed to pay before attaining a glorious destiny.When I mean sacrifice this is not some sort of ritual but what we have to let go or put in place to attain our glorious destinies because as children of God, we all are entitled to glorious destinies as this is His will for us all. Let's have a quick look at those who paid the price for their
