Internal Activation




For as long as I have been a Christian and kept my walk on the faith path, I have experienced God in many dimensions, and I have continued to learn daily how to bring God’s hand to bear over the situations and circumstances of life. 

As I have made my progress, I have also tried to understand what the challenges could be for some others who are struggling in the faith walk. Not like I have made it my life business to study why people struggle, but just by constantly observing and being curious, I have found a few things. 

One of those things that really bothers me is that there are people who do not know how to activate the help of God over their lives. I had thought that this was something almost too easy that everyone should be able to do… it is just as simple as the word of God puts it in Heb. 13:6, He has said that we may boldly say…why then do some people find it difficult to say? 

Well, I found something; whether there is a strong deep-seated conviction or a weak conviction, it will always show forth in your words. We can talk all we want on the importance of having the right confession for the believer to continue to lead a victorious life, but if there is no conviction within, the tongue becomes impotent to release those confessions and even when the tongue utters the confessions, there will be no vigor. 

When you find it difficult to hold steady your confession in the face of stiff opposition, it is because the conviction has not properly aligned. You may hold God’s word true, but may be yet to come to that perfect alignment. You still have doubts as to whether you can throw your entire weight on these things or lean carefully on the word in case it fails. This kind of thinking doesn’t move mountains and cannot achieve much because those internal wars will limit the expression of faith in your spirit and question the audacity of your confession, this is where many people are.

So how then can you walk out of this trough? Interestingly, there is no shortcut approach to this, it is still the same old method of staying with the word of God and meditating therein over and over. It will take time and effort as well as being deliberate to step out of that trough, which again is why not everyone is willing make the push. You have to keep meditating on the goodness of God to you, meditate upon the finished work of Christ, meditate upon what the word says about you as a new creation, meditate on the provisions made for you in Christ, meditate on the victory you have in Christ, 

As you meditate on these things over and over without limit, one day you will rise up and know for certain that your conviction has gone beyond the veil, you will see yourself as a different person. Your faith will come to the place of unconscious drive and faith confessions will follow naturally. Your words will begin to matter to you as they matter in the realm of the spirit, and as you speak, God’s power will be activated.

    Medication is key. The Holy Spirit gives us conviction in the place of meditation. Glory to God .

    Faith confession of the Word coupled with conviction is key to accessing help from the throne of grace. Many thanks for sharing sir. More grace.

Find Your Place and Stay There

Like a bird that wanders from its nest is a man who wanders from his place. Prov.27:8 (NIV) One of the greatest advantages you can have in life is to find your place early and stay there. The challenges of life come to us all, but you may just find it so overwhelming when you are not in your place, as compared to the person who has found their place. I am sure that you have come across one or two persons in life who excel and have an utter sense of fulfilment in what they do in life. It doesn’t have to be really big sometimes, but you can tell that they are in their place, where they should actually be. You may also have come across some persons whom you will consider clear misfits where they are, and in what they do. The latter set of people are most likely not to be prospering as they should, or I should say, they have potential to prosper more, if they find their place and stay there. The same is true about your life. Sometimes you need to take a step back and ask yourself if you ar...

Two Things to Avoid to be Prosperous

He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster. Prov.18:9 (KJV) In my last piece, I talked about the importance of finding your place, and staying there to command God’s Blessing. I emphasized the importance of staying power in whatever God has called you to do or committed to your hands. In this piece, I will seek to drive the conversation further, talking about two wrong attitudes that will greatly hinder the Blessing of God from finding expression in your life. Our text says the slothful is brother to a great waster, this is a very dangerous company indeed, and always a disaster waiting to happen. These two characters can never prosper and attain God’s highest Blessing. You may be working hard and making mistakes, but you must keep at it because, the man who tries and make mistakes will command the Blessing far more than the man who is slothful. God hates laziness! Laziness can disguise in many ways; a person can be spiritually lazy, and that...

Updated: Don’t Bind the Brook, Don’t Rebuke the Ravens - Simple Lesson in Obedience

  Over the years I have come to understand the place of simple obedience to the instructions of God, and the huge difference it could make in one’s life. I have also come to see how easy believers can be in disobedience, yet be able to cover up with some form of spiritual activity, then in the end attempt to pass on the responsibility for their failures on God.   This can possibly account for one of the biggest reasons why there are believers who seem not to be making progress in life in spite of their seeming spirituality. The situation is even more compounded when older believers who should set the example for younger believers fall into this group. The implication is that there will be a generation of young believers who cannot seem to find the proper alignment between the Christian faith and being productive in life.   The story of the prophet Elijah in 1 Kings 17, clearly illustrates my point.  The Word of the Lord had come to the prophet to camp by the bro...
