IN YOU...

The Lord said to me early that morning...Resource! I wondered what it meant beyond the dictionary’s definition and few hours later, I came across a Rhapsody edition which was not current.In it, Pst Chris said.. Resource is the invisible greatness inside of you.I was overwhelmed! So, this was what God was communicating to me in just one single word. That was 8 years ago. And ever since, I’ve always lived with the conciousness of the fact that there is an invisible greatness inside of me even if I can’t feel it, sense it, understand it or it’s not being materialised. Have you ever felt so empty, useless, dejected, lonely or worthless? Have you ever thought of the fact that you just need to associate or rather attach yourself with someone or a group so as to feel a measure of worth or acceptance? Or rather, you’re so full of the knowledge of what you’re worth, yet you’re unable to close up the gap between what you know is on the inside and it’s manifestation on the outside. (Because, im aware of the influx of knowledge as regards what we are worth that has been preached so much in our churches and by motivational speakers) Then, let’s look into this on two sides. WHAT WE HAVE ON THE INSIDE. Philemon 1: 6... That the communication of thy Faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. This scripture is pregnant with meaning. The second part says clearly translates that: 1. There are good thing(s) in you. 2. These good things are only in you because they are in Christ Jesus and you are in him.(so,a life without without Christ cannot successfully claim good things being resident on the inside). SO, HOW DO YOU BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN WHAT’S ON THE INSIDE AND THE MANIFESTAION? The first part of the scripture says that the communication of thy Faith may become effectual by the acknowledging... So, what does this suggest? To bridge the gap: 1. You must admit as being fact that there are good things in you which is what makes your faith successful in producing the desired results. 2. You must receive it . 3. You must give thanks for it. 4. You must say it. 5. You must walk in faith which does not just mean believing,because the word of God in James 2:19 says ... Thou believest that there is one God,thou doest well;the devils also believe and tremble. So, just staying in the realm of believing makes no difference! - You must have an evidence that you believe in what you carry according to Hebrews11:1.. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence(title deed) of things not seen. - What doth it profit, my brethren though a man say he has faith and have not works? Can faith save him? - Vs17... Even so faith,if it hath not works, is dead being alone. - Vs 18... yea a man may say, thou hast faith and I have works; show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show you my faith by my works(faith is shown by your works) - For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. So, what is the conclusion, it’s time to bridge the gap between what we have on the inside lest it seems as if the word of God is not true. The word of God is the absolute truth and cannot lie but we must take the responsiblity of acting in faith towards the execution of clearly received instructions and goals. How do you feel when you see people that are not even as gifted and loaded as you are, yet recording giant strides in their fields? The difference between you and them MIGHT just be ACTION! Take a stock of what you can do, present it to God and ask for clear instructions, then step out in faith and act on those goals. That is the only way you can find relevance, fulfilment and a sense of worth. Manifest!!! Yes you Can. Take steps. Faith is not speaking alone, but acting. You might look or sound stupid but at the end, your little and large steps of faith will be rewarded. We have read enough! We have attended enough seminars! We ave received enough counsels! We have been prayed for and laid hands on enough! We have gone for enough deliverance sessions! It’s time to move!!! Waiting to read about your exploits!!! ACTION PLAN As a result of reading this piece, I have decided to: 1. 2. 3........Please, fill your ACTION STEPS in.
