Food For Your Spirit

When the Lord was about to take Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were on their way from Gilgal. Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here; the Lord has sent me to Bethel.”But Elisha said, “As surely as the Lord lives and as you live, I will not leave you.” So they went down to Bethel. The company of the prophets at Bethel came out to Elisha and asked, “Do you know that the Lord is going to take your master from you today?” “Yes, I know,” Elisha replied, “so be quiet.” (2 Kings 2:1-3) The company of the prophets was aware that the great prophet Elijah would be taken away, just like Elisha. However, they only observed. Elisha's unwavering determination saw him stand by Elijah until the very end. His tenacity paid off at the end when he received a double portion of prophet Elijah's spirit (2 Kings 2:11-13). He parted the Jordan River just as prophet Elijah did, and the company of prophets came to bow down to him (2 Kings 2:14-16). We've all seen great opportunitie

  Many of us have experienced failure or disappointment from friends, family, or loved ones due to promises they made and can't keep. It's common for African leaders to promise everything when seeking your vote, but once they're on top, things take a turn for the worse. Lack of integrity can cause people to fail, as well as certain occurrences or circumstances. In God's case, there is no obstacle to Him fulfilling the promise He has made. Jeremiah 32:17 indicates that nothing is too challenging for Him, as He is both almighty and powerful. God is not a man, so he does not lie. He is not human, so he does not change his mind. Has he ever spoken and failed to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through? (Number 23:19 NLT). Did He make any promises to you? Has he promised you children, but you're seeing yourself getting older? Remember Sarah who gave birth to Isaac when she was ninety years old (Genesis 21:1-5).  ‘Then said the Lord to me, You have seen well,

  Imagine if Carl Louis from the USA were still boasting about his Seoul 1988 Olympic gold medal in the 100m race and confident that his speed would still secure him a gold medal in this era of Olympics.  Everyone was surprised when all the runners finished under 10 seconds, and even the last person (OBLIQUE SEVILLE)in the 100m race at the Paris 2024 Olympics beats the 1988 champion. It's important to remember that your strength from yesterday doesn't guarantee success in today's race. That's why it's important to push for excellence every day to be a force to be reckoned with.  The reason why someone like Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone broke her own world record in women's 400-meter hurdles for the sixth time. Don't think you're invincible; many people are watching and training to take your place.  To fulfill your purpose here on Earth, keep working on yourself, being disciplined, and believing in yourself. Be reminded that you were created to be a champion.

  “Who else has held the oceans in his hand? Who has measured off the heavens with his fingers?  Who else knows the weight of the earth   or has weighed the mountains and hills on a scale? Who is able to advise the Spirit of the lord? Who knows enough to give him advice or teach him? Has the lord ever needed anyone’s advice? Does he need instruction about what is good? Did someone teach him what is right or show him the path of justice? No, for all the nations of the world are but a drop in the bucket. They are nothing more than dust on the scales.  He picks up the whole earth as though it were a grain of sand.All the wood in Lebanon’s forests and all Lebanon’s animals would not be enough to make a burnt offering worthy of our God. The nations of the world are worth nothing to him.  In his eyes they count for less than nothing— mere emptiness and froth.To whom can you compare God?      What image can you find to resemble him? Can he be compared to an idol formed in a mold, overlaid wit

  To manifest means to make evident or certain by showing or displaying. Romans 8:19  says ‘For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God’. It was at Antioch that the believers were first called Christians. According to Acts 11:26, the people observed Christ through their actions, words, manners, and so on. I believe that Christianity is a lifestyle, not just a religious practice. To be considered His son, we must follow the way Jesus lived and adhere to the scriptures.  DOING GOOD, AND HEALING PEOPLE: Acts of the Apostles 10:38 ‘And you know that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. Then Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him’. It's our responsibility to do good and heal people, and we must remember that it's impossible without the Holy Spirit and power that can only be given by God. LOVING YOUR ENEMIES: Luke 23:34 Jesus said, “Father, forgi

  “I have observed something else under the sun. The fastest runner doesn’t always win the race, and the strongest warrior doesn’t always win the battle. The wise sometimes go hungry, and the skillful are not necessarily wealthy. And those who are educated don’t always lead successful lives. It is all decided by chance, by being in the right place at the right time”. Ecclesiastes 9:11(NLT) This year's 2024 FA Cup final match at Wembley stadium between Manchester United FC and Manchester City FC will stay with football fans, especially in England, for a long time. The Manchester Reds were never considered for the cup by many people and football pundits due to their slothful performance during the season. Despite the expectations of a massacre from Manchester City FC, Manchester United FC prevailed over the favorites who had already been crowned the 2023/2024 premier league champion. The Scriptures also says “We may throw the dice, but the Lord determines how they fall”. Proverbs 16:
