There are rules for experiencing greatness as a believer and if they are ignored, the course of Christianity may seen an unworthy course. One of these is THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD. This is not about hearing about God, been told about God or whatsoever, but knowing Him for yourself. Come with me as we are taught.

If there is ever a power that sets a man on to do what he is designed for, it is the breath of God. Come with me as I share with you in this second segment on the Breath of God.

Destiny cannot be fulfilled with our inborn abilities: man was created to have dominion over the things committed to him (that for which he was created), but he needed the Lord God to breath into him to be a living soul to be able to carryout his assignment. Hmmm! That is why Jesus told Nicodemus, ...that which is born of the flesh is of the flesh ...and that which is born of the Spirit is of the Spirit and except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom (he cannot experience his essence for existence) of God because anything born of God overcomes the world. Mary needed the Lord to come on her for her to be able to do what the Lord had chosen her for.

Whenever God wants to bless or change a nation and bring them to the place of fulfilment, His topmost need is to change their THOUGHTS. This is why He first introduces us to His Word that by it, the footprints in our mind will change and by having a new image, negativity will be erased from our minds that with the new focus of memory, it will be easy for actualisation of His purpose. Positive thoughts neutralise negative happenings...

The key to unlocking the door to your blessings is not crying about them, but being grateful for the things that Gof has done even if they did not come to you. Gratefulness leads to greatness. So, if there is any seed to sow that will speak for you in 2022, the foremost is THE SEED OF THANKSGIVING.

No one goes into marriage with the foremost reason being companionship and others with the fruit of reproduction been the last. That is why when a young man or woman is growing, at a point all everyone will keep asking is, do you have a child? Hardly do some ask, where is your spouse?. It's one reason why even those who marry the love of their lives will go outside their vows to make sure they bear fruit. Hmmm. Paul said he perceived there was a reason why he was apprehended, so, he always endeavours to lay hold on that. When God met with Jacob, he did not allow Him to go without Him (God) Fulfilling the reason (blessing him, Jacob) for which He strove with him. So he said, ...if you don't bless me, am not going neither will I let you go... Have you ever come to the point of asking God, why did you save me?

To every office there are character traits that identifies an individual and our Lord made us understand that ...by their fruits (behaviour, way of life and practices) we will get to know who they are. What does it mean to you, and how do you tell if one is or not poor in Spirit?

Jesus met His disciple and when they were gathered, there came a lot of people and instead of telling them about how to manage the people as might have been normal with everyone, He told them what could make them become better in life which is not presiding over people, but having the keys the open the heavens unto us.

In our previous episode, I shared the part A of the Growing Church with the letters in GROWTH as acronyms. Today, I looked at the remaining letters: W, T, and H. Join me and let's learn on. I believe you will be blessed with this powerful ministration.

One of the other signs of an Fulfilling Church is a GROWTH. For the church of God to be Influential, GROWTH is a non-negotial instrument. Join me and let's discuss on this.
