“Lord, what wilt thou have me do?”

Apostle Paul (Acts 9:6 KJV)

In the just concluded WAFBEC, pastor Poju Oyemade concluded on a powerful note. He talked about seeking God’s face on what He would have us do per time.

It is much easier to desire something and take it to the LORD to make such desires come to pass. Sometimes we’ll even pray and fast for God to bless such.

However, that is what many other religions do. They ‘use’ their god to get what they want. They think by their piety, zealousness and constant worship of their gods, their gods will be pleased and grant their desires. Unfortunately, even this way of thinking has been transferred to Christendom and we believe that we are Christians to get what we want from God.

Christianity is not for us to get what you ‘want’ from God, it is for us to be conformed to the person of Christ. This conformance comes as we study and meditate on God’s word, by the Holy Spirit’s leading and by prayers. Those are the ways to know the will of the Father.

Don’t get me wrong. The LORD is very much interested in our desires and will grant them according to His will. When Jesus was on earth, He went about doing good. He healed, delivered, performed miracles and gave provision. God wants the good of every man but He wants us to seek His will above all else.

Jesus said “seek the kingdom of God and all its righteousness and all other things will be added unto you” (Matthew 6:33). We are Christians: Christ followers. We are to seek to know the will of God at all times concerning every area of our lives.

It’s true that God’s will is contained in His word; nevertheless, there’s much beauty and strength that comes with God making His will known to you as He illuminates the word in your heart. This is what a Christian should seek after.

Has God led or called you to do what you’re doing? Instead of crying out for God’s mighty blessings on it, why don’t you pray to know if that’s what He’ll have you do.

As many as are led by Spirit, they are the sons of God (Romans 8:14). This is what differentiates us from other religions. We are to be led by the Spirit. He is to instruct us on how we should live and act. We are not to God to get what we want. We are His vessels in whom He has put treasures and even when using these treasurers, remember that it is to the glory of the Father. The LORD will surely reward.

For we have these treasurers in earthen vessels to show that this all surpassing power is from God and not from us (2 Corinthians 4:7).

May the LORD strengthen us to seek His will above all else in Jesus name. Amen.

Tomi Kayode.

Louder

I was reading a post by Pastor Temiloluwa Ola and it says no matter how disappointed a Yoruba man is, he doesn’t make him stop speaking Yoruba (Paraphrased).

How then do we change our language of Faith when it feels like darkness creeped in.
Blind Bartimeous knew he couldn’t afford being silent because it was his Kairos moment. The disciples shut him up severally, he should have said to himself ‘Since these guys who should be spiritual jagaban shut me up that means there’s no hope for me’ but hey! He kept on shouting ‘Jesus, Son of David have Mercy on me’.

It was all shout until he got Jesus’ attention and you know what happened thereafter. (Mark 10:45-52)

God the Father in Genesis 1 did not say because the earth was dark, without form and void, it was such an impossible situation, let me just keep quiet and allow it be, No! He spoke let there be LIGHT and there it was.

Darkness must never change your speech or reduce the intensity of your tone. When it’s dark, let your speech fire on with high intensity. Blast in tongues! Declare the word of God! It’s powerful, it is life.
Jesus said the words that I speak to you they are Spirit and life, same also with you as a child of God. God’s word In your mouth is a Walking miracle, don’t let the darkness rob you of the manifestation you should see.

We pray for strength by God’s Spirit in your inner man to declare God’s word for our nation and we come against the spirit of discouragement ravaging the atmosphere in the name of Jesus. Amen!

Turn on Your Light

On October 18, 2020 By Jesus ExpressedLeave a comment

During the course of the week I was thinking of a security light and it’s importance. I realized every house I’ve lived in has required us turning on the security light and the reason is simple, when it’s turned on darkness can not remain and anyone trying to perform his antiques is suddenly scared, exposed and ashamed. You can not say you are managing NEPA credit and will not switch it on, you are putting yourself and your family into a possible risk.

Isn’t this the same thing that happens in our walk with Jesus? We have the light in us but switching it on is hard because we probably feel lazy, reluctant to switch it on, other times it’s because we are afraid of the darkness that is very afraid of us, we put ourselves and many lives in danger.

The devil knows your light when turned on will expose him but you are thinking of what people will say plus you are scared. Just why are you scared, reluctant and ashamed of what you carry?

What you do when you don’t shine this light is that you allow evil keep thriving in your territory, it is as simple as that. You know that when security light is switched off, a thief will easily steal and get away with it. This is what a number of us keep doing, we allow the devil perform his enterprise and get away with it. Matthew 5:14-16

Today and always TURN ON YOUR LIGHT!

Victory Intoxication

On October 4, 2020 By Jesus Expressed2 Comments

I saw an animation some days ago and in it was a bird who was constantly failing when trying to fly, he would try but somehow it’d go bad. A flying competition was opened among the birds and this not so good at flying bird said I’ll do it. It started and for a while it felt like he was losing until he started ranging with the best, was going faster and higher and then he won. Immediately he won, he became everyone’s fan so the head of the birds said now that you’ve won this I can now sleep at night while you guard the eggs that haven’t hatched.

Excited much he felt so proud that he was now relevant in the birds society(lol) until night when he was guarding the unhatched eggs, this creeping animals came and they wanted to take the eggs, he tried to fight them but was tossed away because he didn’t have the capacity.
This made the leader of the colony who earlier said he was going to sleep wake all of a sudden so he could protect the eggs but as he was doing that they took an egg and left the champion bird injured.

This got me thinking, some of us are like this bird, a particular victory comes and everyone including you suddenly feels like you are supposed to be occupying a higher position whereas you do not have the capacity. It’s just like a child who is a heir of his Father’s inheritance who feels he should start managing them, he will only mess it up and most likely squander everything.
See Galatians 4:1-2

One thing we must trust God for is the ability to discern His heart whether He has given us capacity for a particular phase or not.
Oh no! We must not be pressured by people or by ourselves to think we already can do it when in actual sense we already sense the Holy Spirit letting us know that this is not what I want for you now, It’s a distraction!

Today and always we implore you to never allow victory intoxicate you to a point that you get pressured and forget that you do not have capacity for it, instead keep growing and you’d know when God wants you to launch.

You are blessed!❤️

When God calls you

On September 27, 2020October 3, 2020 By Jesus Expressed2 Comments

The call of God seems to be a dreaded thing, especially in this part of the world where it is termed to be a call to a miserable life and by call I do not just mean within the four walls of the church alone, it cuts across every sphere that Jesus is set to enthrone Himself.

When God calls it’s not to a miserable life. The word of God tells us in Mark 3:13 that Jesus called his chosen disciples up the mountain, “mountain” stands for elevation, height, so when the Lord calls you it is to elevation, it is to see clearly, it is to doing it His way.

The word of God tells us in Revelations 4:1 that the voice came from above to John, telling him to “Come up Higher” and that call was to see what his physical eyes could not see.
When God calls you, it is so your vision is elevated and for you to walk in what He has called you to be, it is never to diminish you or make you miserable in life as some may have insinuated.

Today if the Lord is calling you or asking you to do one thing, follow His heart. His call will only elevate you.

You are blessed!❤️

Healed to Serve

On August 23, 2020 By Jesus Expressed2 Comments

My mum always told us the story of a man who was a leper but was miraculously healed by Jesus. She said the man had been down with leprousy and a particular church which she attended had reached out to him and God had used them to bring healing to this man. The church expected that he’d be committed in the service of God or at least attend church but none of these happened. They went to his home to check on him asking why he wasn’t in church, he simply said to them that when you get treated in the hospital do you go back to the hospital?
That was quite a blow for someone who had been miraculously healed by Jesus. You know we don’t reason things like the people of the world, we have been delivered to serve, healed to serve not go back to living complacent life.

Peter’s Mother-In-Law was healed by Jesus and immediately she rose to minister unto Him, she didn’t whine as to why she needed time to rest but she served. You show true appreciation to Jesus for saving and healing you when you serve not give excuses as to why you can’t. (Matthew 8:14-15)

The woman at the well received word of knowledge from Jesus, she had been amazed at how much He knew her and how healing the words he said to her were so she ran into the village to tell everyone who needed to hear about this man who told her all she had ever been. People came from the town to look for this Jesus she talked about. ‘The town’ coming to know Jesus is locked in your service to Him. (John 4:29-30)

Being a believer is beautiful when you don’t keep it to yourself, go after others bringing them into what you currently enjoy through whatever platform the Lord has given you.
We are in the days when we can no longer keep mute about God’s goodness to mankind that was displayed on Calvary’s tree.

This week carry the consciousness that you have been Healed to serve, you have been saved to serve.

Have a glorious week!

How to Make your Faith work

On August 2, 2020 By Jesus Expressed2 Comments

Matthew 9:23-25
[23]And when Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,
[24]He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.
[25]But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.

What you hear and the atmosphere you are in has a strong role to play in the miraculous you experience in your life, family and nation. The emphasis in this scripture is Jesus sending everyone who came to mourn the death of the ruler’s maid out by saying Give place, at first hearing it might have seemed like Jesus was so not kind to the people for asking them to leave but on a second hearing or thought, Jesus was actually guarding what he was hearing and the atmosphere or presence He carried.
It’d have seemed like Jesus was protecting his heart against unbelief.

Your faith in God is so precious and truth be told the devil isn’t glad you have faith in Jesus, he looks for every means to bring you to a point of unbelief and distrust in God’s miraculous power, if he can’t talk you into unbelief, he’d use people, voices that are so powerful in your life, situations and circumstances to talk you into it. You must choose by the help of the Holy Spirit to shut out these voices that make your faith down. You might need to stop relating with some certain persons in your life about the issues you are going through, some of them hear and only worsen matters thereby affecting your Faith walk.
What you hear is so powerful, it can have a positive or negative effect on you in your walk with God. It determines your progress. The miraculous was already activated in the life of the maid of the ruler but for full manifestation Jesus sent them all out and immediately they left, she woke up.
You’d need to put away certain association and atmosphere just to protect your faith in God, just to guard the prophetic word that has been said over you.

So here is how to make your Faith work; Have the right spiritual association.

We pray this blesses You!💕

Jesus wants to Heal you.

Healing is the children’s bread.
The leper in the book of Matthew 8:1-4 met Jesus,he had a conversation in his mind prior to meeting him (Jesus).
He’s like this man is a big man ooo, see the crowd following Him, would he have time to minister healing to me a low life, one who has been sent out from the midst of persons who are in health. He was thinking with Jesus’ high pedigree, he might not want to respond to him.

He didn’t know that Jesus isn’t man who would judge you by the way you look or by your predicament and decide to or not to respond to you, so he says dear Jesus ‘If you are willing, Please heal me’. That was a statement from someone who wasn’t sure if dear Jesus was willing to heal him because of the disability he had but here was the response of Jesus ‘I am willing’. It felt like Jesus was saying I am not second guessing whether I’m sure I want to heal you because I truly want to heal you, I have not come for those who are in health but for those who are sick, those in need of a physician, those who are broken and in need of help

I feel like many of us are like this Leper in Matthew 8, we are not sure if Jesus wants to heal us of that pain which might be in our body, our minds, our hearts. We feel like Jesus will turn us down so we say things like ‘I’m not sure He’ll answer me’ but Jesus is here saying I am willing to heal you, I do not feel coerced when it comes to healing you of all the pain, I love doing it and I want to do it over and over again.

You can lean on the one who heals, He won’t turn you down and He’s not even planning to turn you down.

We speak health this moment to everyone in need of healing in their body, soul and spirit in the name of Jesus..

For those who have been holding on to certain wounds, we pray for healing over you in the name of Jesus.

There is a Balm in Gilead and He’s Jesus!

We invite you to journey with the Lord Jesus as you ask Him to take rest in your heart by saying this prayer;

Dearest Jesus I thank you for your death, burial and resurrection, you did all of this for me. I know I have lived my life without you in it but today I surrender all to you, forgive my sins and take over my life. Thank You for Your LOVE towards me Jesus. In Jesus name. Welcome to God’s family!

Welcome Note!

It is a New year and decade people and even though it feels like the year is no longer new yet its never too late to wish us a prosperous New year. It has been a long time here and we honestly appreciate you for following every of our blog posts. You are Highly Treasured!

This year the Lord requires something amazing of us and in the course of this post we’ll decode it, most importantly as we walk with Jesus we’d decode it more.

In John 2:5 Jesus’ Mother speaking to the men charged with the responsibility of serving, having noticed the wine had been exhausted says Whatever He tells you to do, do it! Simple statement right?

For every moment or every time we make a decision to live for and love the Father, responsibility is attached to it. It is not some sort of speaking alone but a responsibility backed up decision.

Jesus asked Peter in John 21:15-17, do you love me more than these, Jesus asked him this question in different formats 3 times and you can say Peter was beginning to feel uncomfortable about this question. Jesus went ahead to give him the responsibility of Feeding His lambs.

Love isn’t devoid of responsibility, it places you on the pedestal of being responsible for what the Lord has placed in your hands to do.

Little wonder Jesus said If you love Me, you will keep my commandments (John 14:15). If there is anything worth pursuing this decade, it is to love Jesus wholeheartedly and do whatever He bids you to do.

Whatever He asks you to do, do it for that is the only proof that you love Him.

Have a blessed year!

We invite you to journey with the Lord Jesus as you ask Him to take rest in your heart by saying this prayer;

FORGET NOT

On October 20, 2019October 20, 2019 By Jesus ExpressedLeave a comment

...And they forgot about the wonderful miracles God had done for them and for their fathers in Egypt. For he divided the sea before them and led them through! The water stood banked up along both sides of them! In the daytime he led them by a cloud, and at night by a pillar of fire. He split open the rocks in the wilderness to give them plenty of water, as though gushing from a spring. Streams poured from the rock, flowing like a river! Psalms 78:11-16 (The Living Bible)

One of us shared a story on her whatsapp status some weeks ago about two women in her life who have influenced her greatly, one is her biological mother.
In her words, “I picked a certain habit from them that has helped me alot in life which is keeping a gratitude journal.
For example my mum does not see writing some certain things in her journal as being weird no matter how small or insignificant it might be to people. ‘You’d see things like we had power supply today after 2 months, thank you God’

I made up my mind to try writing out the goodness of God to me no matter how little because truly I realized that it’s easy to forget the goodness of God and like the Israelites grumble in the wilderness or when life challenges us forgetting that God keeps giving manna, clothes and sandals are not wearing out, water comes out from the rock for us to drink, the Lord is present as a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.
Friends it’s easy to forget!
When life feels overwhelming I pick up this journal and I’m more confident that God is good, it’s His nature. I say to myself, May I never forget that God is always good even on my worst days.
David the Psalmist writes in Psalms 103:2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: He understands it is so human to forget and even though its so human we must never forget.

If there is a God who keeps doing, then there must be believers who never forget but lay it to heart to say thank you even on days or seasons they enter into difficult situation.

Friends it’s so easy to forget so write the goodness of God upon your heart, write it in a book too, sing the Goodness of the Lord back to Him.

Have a gratitude-filled week!

You can not enjoy fellowship with Jesus if you don’t know Him and you can’t fulfill your destiny if you do not know HIM. We welcome you to turn unto Jesus because He alone saves, He died for your sins to make you whole and complete Him. Accept Him today.

Kindly send an email to jesusexpressed@gmail.com so we can agree in prayer with you.

Jesus LOVES you and We LOVE you
