Possibilities...

Possibilities divine focuses on your willingness to cooperate with God to establish God's will in your marital relationship. Whether you are single or married, you have a part to play in ensuring you enjoy what God has planned for you as it relates to marriage relationship. It is easy to give up, do it the way everyone does it, but do you also know that knowing your identity in Christ helps you to weather the storm?

The Word of God gives us a true picture of who we are. 1Peter 1:18-25 The Message;

18-21 "Your life is a journey you must travel with a deep consciousness of God. It cost God plenty to get you out of that dead-end, empty-headed life you grew up in. He paid with Christ’s sacred blood, you know. He died like an unblemished, sacrificial lamb. And this was no afterthought. Even though it has only lately—at the end of the ages—become public knowledge, God always knew he was going to do this for you. It’s because of this sacrificed Messiah, whom God then raised from the dead and glorified, that you trust God, that you know you have a future in God.

22-25 Now that you’ve cleaned up your lives by following the truth, love one another as if your lives depended on it. Your new life is not like your old life. Your old birth came from mortal sperm; your new birth comes from God’s living Word. Just think: a life conceived by God himself! That’s why the prophet said,

The old life is a grass life,
    its beauty as short-lived as wildflowers;
Grass dries up, flowers droop,
    God’s Word goes on and on forever.
This is the Word that conceived the new life in you."

It is interesting how everything these days has become a battle, we live in the end times no doubt... we need to awake to that fact and strengthen our hearts and our resolve not to weaken in the face of the many challenges we face. It may never sound cool, but the alternatives we have to living godly is destructive, takes you on a high and then cause you to crash and finally awake to the rude reality of your state.

If you are a Christian and single, these are really hard times to hold on to the truth, but when you chose to do so,you become a part of the remnant who will take root downwards and bear fruit upwards. For those who are married, you know what you contend with on a daily basis...I encourage your hearts to choose only that which is right to the glory of the Father even when your choices are tough.

Blessings.

Dropped!

 I remember the story of a five year- old boy, he was with his nurse and as they played hide and seek they heard the loud chaotic sound, someone ran in and told the nurse , the King, his son, who was the father of the young boy had both died in the war front! You see this young boy was royalty, he was raised in luxury, having the proverbial blue blood flowing in his veins...

The dutiful nurse carried the young prince and made to escape quickly but in her haste, he was dropped! Mephibosheth, the king's grandson whose name meant "destroying shame" had become lame in both feet, he had become limited in his mobility, incapacitated and permanently dependent on assistance to get from point to point, a subject of permanent shame now. His self esteem had been shattered, his dream of ever becoming a king, gone, he could never be in the army. Every glitz associated with being a prince had fizzled out with his fall, what a loss!.

I am not sure whether you too had been dropped...life, unforeseen circumstances have a way of dropping us and most of the time we get up and discover we have been wounded or damaged. Your limp, shrivelled "legs" are constant reminders of how hard you were dropped. You probably grew up in a home where you were considered an illegitimate child, perhaps you grew up in a family with one dysfunction or the other, perhaps you were abused because you lived with an Uncle, Aunty or a relative. Your own crippling might have been as a result of the death of your parents and you were not able to further your education, today with your talents and ability, you function below heaven's expectations of you. Maybe your own fall came in adult life when you contracted marriage with your enemy. You probably got dropped when you decided to make a better life for yourself only to find out you had to commit some atrocities to get on in life, perhaps your past haunts you when
you consider your recklessness and roughness.

Maybe people who used to look up to you as a spiritual giant, thinks nothing of you now because you seem helpless, forsaken with nothing to offer. Perhaps depression has taken hold of your mind and you sink deeper and deeper into a dark, endless pit. You were suppose to stand for righteousness, godliness but the lives of your children, offsprings, speak contrary to what you preach and as a result, you have lost your voice, face and feet in life.I may never guess right...whether you have become a ghost of yourself and your dreams because you had been dropped, you have accepted "destiny" and you have chosen or found yourself in Lodebar (a place of isolation and desertion). I would like to encourage you today;

2 Samuel 9:1, 6-8 New King James Version

"And David said, is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan's sake?".
5"Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel from Lodebar. Now when Mephiboseth the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, was come unto David, he fell on his face and did reverence. And David said, Mephiboseth. And he answered, Behold, thy servant! And David said unto him, Fear not: for I will shew thee kindness for Jonathan thy father's sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually. And he bowed himself, and said, What is thy servant, that thou should look upon such a dead dog as I am?"

There is a covenant that we have through the blood of Jesus that cannot be broken! It is that blood that speaks better things than that of Abel. The same way David inquired about the House of Jonathan to assist anyone there, lame or not, that is the same way the blood of Jesus is ready to relocate you from Lodebar, your place of abandonment to the place of destiny. Help is on the way for you regardless of how bad your case is. Sickness, will be gone, the sun shall shine again because Jesus is the propitiation for a new and better covenant, his blood speaks, mercy, deliverance, restoration, favour and fulfillment on your behalf.

Yes, you may have been dropped, you may be lame, unable to show your face where it matters, among contemporaries, siblings, colleagues or friends....but the royal wagon is coming to fetch you. The path to where you are may not be tarred or motorable, it may be dusty and rough. However, the king's matter requires urgency,you must dine continually at the king's table, therefore, am assured that you will experience restoration. It will not matter anymore whether you are lame or not once you are sitting at the king's table because everything you need will locate you! Your lameness does not have to define the outcome of your life, neither should it destroy your perception of yourself and who God has made you to be. Be expectant for the wagon of mercy, healing and promotion is approaching Lodebar to whisk you away to the palace where you belong, among God's dignitaries.

Blessings!

Celebrating Womanhood

Woman, an expression of God's love, endowed with the qualities of God; bears, nurtures, comforts, guides, instructs, provides, defends, loves passionately and gives her very best. Little wonder she fights so many battles because she is created to represent God. I celebrate every woman here today! You are the salt of the earth, you season, you color, you beautify, build up but get very little credit for what you do. A woman thinks of everyone around and in her life first but thinks about her needs last, she gives, gives and gives.

As I celebrate you today, I also encourage you;I may never know where you are coming from, what you have been through but I know you have a destiny to fulfill. In fulfilling your destiny, you assist and enable others to fulfill theirs. Regardless of what cards life has dealt you, God is able to cause your latter end to greatly increase. God is the El-shaddai, He sustains the world through His fruitfulness and endless supply and He is able to make grace abound towards you.

Has life been difficult, have you toiled all your life hoping that relief will come, perhaps you are almost giving up because you do not seem to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Perhaps your life has been hard, you have always laboured,struggled, made mistakes, had your dreams shattered and about to conclude that you were a mistake. I encourage you today to trust the Custodian of the world once more.

God corrects mistakes, He rebuilds, brings beauty instead of ashes and is able to provide rest for your toiling soul. God created you a woman to showcase His glory, stop whining and complaining. Look up to the only God who has solution! I celebrate you today, because you were neither created from scrap nor an after thought, God has a specific idea in mind when He created you, a Master piece.

It may be challenging to "get up from the floor" when life has challenged the very essence of your being, but accept God's extended hand of help, get up and get going. God does not determine your future by your past, leave your past behind and reach out for the glorious future He is offering you. You are loaded, endowed to make a difference, arise to the place of destiny!

I celebrate you today, join me and celebrate yourself!

Singles - The Horse & The Cart

On Pre marital sex....

The horse drives the cart, if the cart decides to jump ahead, there is no doubt that things will fall apart...my single folks, as long as you belong to God, there is a how of doing things in His kingdom.

When you engage in pre marital sex all in the name of checking your compatibility meter,you lose your ability to get things right. Your courtship days should be spent building up yourselves spiritually, intellectually, setting goals, learning about each others strengths, weaknesses, family dynamics and such things that your eyes will become open to after you are back from the highs of sex and you already sign the dotted line. Pre marital sex fast forward your emotions in a direction that causes you to lose control. 

When you keep yourself, you have so much to look forward to and you also keep the word of God. As a man, understand that you can be easily stimulated by the things you see, therefore, make a covenant with your eyes not to look at a maid lustfully. As a lady, dress how you want to be addressed, it is not fashionable to expose your comely parts.

Watch the kind of entertainment you enjoy together, movies are good but if you watch sexually explicit movies, you set the stage for a fire that is hard to quench. Once you fall into the act of fornication, you will always miss it at that point. Your conscience becomes hardened after a while, you convince yourself, "we plan to get married".

Sex is good, but for Christians, it is approved within the confines of marriage. Do not steal what rightfully belongs to you before time else, you may not enjoy it fully when the time Is right. Do you know that there are a lot of married people who have a corrupted idea about sex? Some of them put their carts before the horse.

If you have any question inbox me please or send your question to possibilitiesdivine@gmail.com.

God has raised us up for our generation, you do not have to make the same mistake others have made, you can learn from the mistake of others.

Blessings!

Keep the dream

Young Joseph sat down lonely and discouraged in the Egyptian prison, dark, lonely dungeon. He wondered if he had been hallucinating, perhaps all he had heard and believed about the God of Israel and His ability to save was just fable borne out of youthful exuberance, if he had any hope of making it in Egypt as a diligent, loyal slave, that hope just got dashed...seriously, who will deliver him from his master, Portiphar, captain of the guard? 

As He adjusted yet again to life in the prison, the dream of greatness flashed through his mind, why won't this illusion leave me?, he wondered, frustrated and discouraged. He went about his life in prison doing what he knows how to do,he stood out and yet caught the attention of the keeper of the prison. His work caused him to stand out and he shone. He had a good rapport with the keeper of the prison and hope arose again. Indeed you a a faithful God of Israel he whispered when told he was in charge of fellow prisoners. He consoled himself about the fact that things are getting better. 

However, the dream would not just go away, Lord, this is good, I am grateful and sure will stay out of trouble he concluded. However, only the will of The Lord shall be done. The dream kept coming back, he wondered, tried to figure out how, he then encouraged himself that the dream was maybe meant to be accomplished in the prison. He appreciated God for favour before the guard, then seemingly close opportunities presented when he interpreted the dreams of the baker and cup bearer. These ones are close to the corridor of power, finally this is it...but the cup bearer forgot because he is human...

At the rightness of time, there was a need, an opportunity, the right occasion that caused planning to meet with purpose and resulted in promotion. Shame came to an end, Joseph proffered solution to Pharaoh's problem and he became exulted! In due time, the dream came to pass, that tells me that God  is able to sort you out, defend, reinstate and bring to fulfilment the desires of your heart.

Genesis 45:7-8 NKJV

"And God sent me before you preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. So now it was not you that sent me hither but God and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt".

Joseph's dream was realized in a bigger capacity than he ever could dream of, I encourage you not to give up when your own dream is being tested.
It is a new month, goals are being set, plans are being made, wait patiently on The Lord for direction and instruction. How he will accomplish His purpose is known to Him alone. Do not allow the things you see right now to cloud or hinder you from pursuing God's plan and purpose for your life. Speak faith and not fear or doubt and watch His words and promises fulfilled in you life in Jesus name.
