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 .

    A mind void of distraction during meditation is a big win.

    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.

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...

Blessed By Association - Updated

Abraham by God’s calling had become a blessed man walking in the blessing. God appeared to him, changed his name and gave him the covenant of circumcision. You would have thought that all this will happen to just Abraham and his family, but not so, the blessing as we see it (Gen 17: 12-14) was also for as many as were with Abraham at that time. They came into the lineage of blessing simply by association with the man Abraham, they were to be circumcised just like Abraham, and came under the same covenant blessing. These people who were associated with Abraham at that time, including his household servants, enjoyed the most of the covenant that God Almighty gave to him. It therefore goes to show that there are associations in life that will forever set you up for the blessing. That is why you must treasure the relationships that God brings into your life, and never take them for granted.  In one of the piece published on this blog,  Identity by association , it was emphasized t...

Flourishing in Hard Times

  No doubt we are in very challenging times, there seems to be crisis everywhere, and most economies in the world are affected. Many Christians have become casualties of the the economic hardship that is raging across the world, and worst still is that many seem really helpless even in the face of the obvious help that God has promised His people.   This piece seeks to highlight a few important points that could be of significance in helping the believer to flourish in these hard times.   1.      Know that your sins are forgiven and enter His rest   And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar. Gen.26:1   The bible records that that there was a famine in the land and Isaac moved to Gerar. Gerar signifies a lodging place or a place of rest. Many believers have yet to come to that place of rest in Christ. They still live with a consc...
