Keep company with Him

On April 24, 2021 By Jesus ExpressedLeave a comment

Some days it feels you’ve got it all figured out, some other days it feels like everything in and around your life is falling like a pack of cards. If this is you, follow through. It’s not as if what I am about to share with you isn’t something you know or have always known but you do know that sometimes we need these reminders because it’s very easy to forget.

“From the end of the earth I will cry to You, When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭61:2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

The view is different on the Rock, you get a clearer view and perspective to things. Many a times all that you are overwhelmed with just needs you to see better, needs you to have a right perspective to it. You’ll learn not to magnify issues or let it get at you when you see from His perspective.
How do you see from His perspective? By keeping company with Him. In Matthew 11:30 (MSG), Jesus says, ”Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
Fellowship with Jesus relieves you of every weight you might be carrying, yes! That’s how to live unbothered, freely and lightly.
You see better when you are in constant fellowship with Jesus.

Jesus is the Rock! Your faith in God is solidified when you are with Him, you see clearly when you are with Him, He gives you strength to keep on when you are with Him, you operate in the wisdom of God when you are with Him. Everything you need is in Him, everything that will keep you from being overwhelmed is in Him.

Today and always keep company with Him!
You are blessed.

RESTORATION

On March 13, 2021 By Jesus Expressed1 Comment

One evening while worshipping, God’s word struck me in a different light and I began to ask God for a restoration of innocence and wonder.

In Nigeria, when a man or woman is still virgin or has never had sexual intercourse with anyone, he or she is most times termed innocent but when sexual intercourse happens it is said that the innocence they once had is lost.

The Lord began to liken this with our walk with Him, when we first caught the fire for Jesus, we always loved fellowshipping with Him and other believers but at some point, we hit certain depths in God that made us feel like we have arrived. Pride got into the picture and what used to be like a life on fire for Jesus became so cold, we gradually began to romance the world and its ways because there was no hunger again.

Then I realized something, revival can never be seen when believers who are supposed to experience it are “wild”, it takes innocence, humility, wonder to experience Jesus over and over again. Jesus speaking in the book of Matthew 18:2-5 about having a child-like heart where we never question Divine orders or think our ways are super perfect than God’s and feel like our limited knowledge can take us anywhere in Him.

While I prayed, the Holy Spirit dropped this scripture in my heart, Joel 2:25-32.

25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.

²⁶And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.

²⁷And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the Lord your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.

²⁸And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

²⁹And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.

³⁰And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.

³¹The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.

³²And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call.

Now He has promised to restore what we might have lost because we felt we had “arrived”, He says we will have plenty to eat right in His presence, as we hunger, He’d continually feed us with the meal of the Spirit that brings true satisfaction. He said thanksgiving will come forth from our lips and as a result there will be multiplication of what we’ve experienced here on earth which means He will without reserve pour out His Spirit on all flesh, not some but all and because of these mighty things will happen.

The reality of the earth being the Lord’s will be seen! Hallelujah!

Not in Vain

On February 13, 2021 By Jesus Expressed1 Comment

Luke 19:1-10
Zaccheus was a chief tax collector, short and rich, a man that would have been tagged goals in our present age, but the Bible says something special about him. Despite the fact that he had all these qualities, he sought to see Jesus.

Jesus always had a crowd with Him, Zaccheus figured he was short and people might hinder him from seeing Jesus, so he climbed the sycamore tree to see Him. This act, I believe, was something special because Jesus noticed him immediately He got to the tree.

This only emphasizes one thing: every effort we make to seek Jesus is not in vain. The word of God tells us that God is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. Hebrews 11:6.

In an age where many times the world makes it seem like you are wasting time seeking Jesus when you should be pursuing personal goals, remember that God is a rewarder of those who seek Him diligently.

You can never go wrong seeking Jesus. Blessed are they that hunger and thirst (SEEK) after righteousness, they will get their reward, which is being filled.

Prioritise seeking Jesus above anything else in life. God created you for this purpose.

See the latter end of Zaccheus’ encounter with Jesus: Salvation came into his household! It was strange, for a man who was seen as a sinner because he was chief tax collector; yet, the Lord was gracious to Him because he sought Him.

Friends, don’t stop seeking Jesus! Receive grace to seek Him in the name of Jesus.

No Waste

On November 8, 2020 By Jesus ExpressedLeave a comment

Let’s just say I married a farmer, my husband loves anything that has to do with farming. I remember growing up, any peel of banana, yam and so on I threw them away because I felt there was totally no use for it.
I got married and everything I always threw away or considered waste became useful because we are either giving it to animals or trying to decompose waste till they become maggot.

Then I thought of God the Father as the Farmer, with Him nothing is a waste. What we consider as waste in our lives is what God most times wants to make food to the nations, it’s yummy for many persons.
What we call waste, whether our pasts which is inclusive of the errors we’ve made in life has the viability of becoming God’s message to the nations.

This is why we must never call anything we’ve been through in life a waste, a wasted season or a wasted relationship and so on. With God there’s Gold in it.

Remember Ezekiel 37, the valley filled with dry bones. It seemed like it was all over but here was a mighty army that God was seeing.

What you call a waste in your life is what He wants to make use of to bless the nations.

Let Hope come alive!
Jesus loves you.

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!💕

Do not grow weary!

On March 15, 2020 By Jesus ExpressedLeave a comment

Labour comes in many form in the kingdom, it could be in the Word (1 Timothy 5:17), in all kinds of Prayer (Colossians 4:12), in Planting, in Ministering to the needs of others and so on but what makes it rise as a sweet smelling savour to God is when it is done out of love. God can not take his eyes off labour that is done out of love, He is not unjust to even to forget. Every labour done in love is before God’s face and He can’t forget what He is always seeing.

I stumbled on a post by a dear brother and it blessed me a great deal in fact it encouraged me a lot, it is a song written and performed by The Porter’s Gate telling about the truth that our labour is not in vain. While I saw this video, I imagined a number of us are in the season of continuous sowing and sometimes it feels like there isn’t going to be any yield.

This week we want to encourage you not to be weary in well doing and I would love to share with you the lyrics of the song;

[Verse 1]
Your labor is not in vain
Though the ground underneath you is cursed and stained
Your planting and reaping are never the same
Your labor is not in vain

[Verse 2]
Your labor is not unknown
Though the rocks they cry out and the sea it may groan
The place of your toil may not seem like a home
But Your labor is not unknown

[Chorus]
I am with you, I am with you
I am with you, I am with you
For I have called you, called you by name
Your labor is not in vain

[Verse 3]
The vineyards you plant will bear fruit
The fields will sing out and rejoice with the truth
For all that is old will at last be made new
The vineyards you plant will bear fruit

[Chorus]
I am with you, I am with you
I am with you, I am with you
For I have called you, called you by name
Your labor is not in vain

For God, the Faithful One, is not unfair. How can he forget the work you have done for him? He remembers the love you demonstrate as you continually serve his beloved ones for the glory of his name. Hebrews 6:10

Do not quit labouring in love, God has not forgotten you!

You can listen to the song here; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPj3Kf7Dorw

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!

Where do you seek answers?

On February 9, 2020 By Jesus ExpressedLeave a comment

This sounds cliche right? but isn’t it important that we examine what influences the decisions we make in this age and time. One of the most frustrating points to find yourself in is having the need for answers and not knowing where to find them or not be willing to pay the price to find these answers.

In such moments, many have sought answers in the wrong places that have cost them their lives and glorious destiny or even their loved ones.

Let’s examine scriptures, the book of Isaiah 8:19 addresses this and gives and answer to where to find answers, So why are you trying to find out the future by consulting witches and mediums? Don’t listen to their whisperings and mutterings. Can the living find out the future from the dead? Why not ask your God? Isaiah 8:19 (TLB)

This scripture gives us an answer of where to find answers in a day and age where everyone seeks answer on the media which is good if they are contents that edify your spirit man but the media should never be the first option. In God’s presence we get answers of peace to every troubling questions that life asks you.

We must bear in mind that Jesus gives the answers that we seek to questions that life asks us, to issues that challenges our faith and makes us feel like giving up. Herbalists, fortune tellers, drugs and what have you do not give us an answer of peace, whatever chills it gives is only temporary and bound to make one feel depressed.

This week and always, receive wisdom to seek the answers right in His presence. We challenge you to ask God! Stay in prayer! Stay in the Word!

The Lord grant you an answer of peace as You seek Him for answers in the name of Jesus.

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

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;

Responsible Father

On November 10, 2019 By Jesus ExpressedLeave a comment

Some days ago I was trying to work on something whilst carrying my extra energetic baby sister who is almost 11 months. Carrying her while working meant I had to be so conscious of her movements so she does not fall or pick some sort of strange objects. Her disposition was that of someone who was unbothered, like she knew she won’t fall because I was there and even at that she didn’t understand what it meant for someone to fall from a height.

While all of these was happening, I felt the Lord tell me He is a responsible Father and that if I could be extra conscious of my baby sister not falling or picking up strange objects, how much more He (My Father).

The truth is that this truth never really dawns on us, we are either worried about where the next meal will come from, where the next rent for the house will come from or the money needed for a new house will come from or even a new car or how our dearest loved one will get healed of an ailment. I mean too many worries and fears, yet the Father says you don’t have to bug your mind I care about you.

See what the word of God has to tell us in Matthew 6:25-31 in The Passion Translation

This is why I tell you to never be worried about your life, for all that you need will be provided, such as food, water, clothing everything your body needs. Isn’t there more to your life than a meal? Isn’t your body more than clothing?

“Look at all the birds do you think they worry about their existence? They don’t plant or reap or store up food, yet your heavenly Father provides them each with food. Aren’t you much more valuable to your Father than they?So, which one of you by worrying could add anything to your life?

“And why would you worry about your clothing? Look at all the beautiful flowers of the field. They don’t work or toil,and yet not even Solomon in all his splendor was robed in beauty more than one of these!So if God has clothed the meadow with hay, which is here for such a short time and then dried up and burned, won’t he provide for you the clothes you need even though you live with such little faith?

“So then, forsake your worries! Why would you say, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?’For that is what the unbelievers chase after. Doesn’t your heavenly Father already know the things your bodies require?

Would God place you on earth and not provide everything you need for life and godliness? (2 Peter 1:3). We worry alot about many things but like my baby sister God wants us to live unbothered because He is a Responsible Father.

See what 1 Peter 5:7 in The Passion Translation tells us Pour out all your worries and stress upon him and leave them there, for he always tenderly cares for you.

Rest! Rest!! Rest!!! Child of God, your Father is responsible.

Lots of Love!

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
