Discipline My Body

1st Corinthians 9:26-27

I need to discipline my body. I need to bring it to be subject to me. This means when the body doesn't want to do something, i overcome it and force it to do what it doesn't want.

Amazing. If i have a life of doing things contrary to the desires of the body, that's when i excel. The body when left alone wants to leave responsibilities for "later", not move, work, and most of all to not pray.

The recommendations of the body lead to hunger, failure, and troubles, but when i live contrary to the desires of the body i will be a great success

Diaspora

Diaspora is not a new concept but began early in biblical times. When Israel had trouble, they would come down to Africa. During the famines in the days of Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, Africa was the land of refuge. Fast forward to Jesus: When his life was under threat in Israel, God spoke to His parents to flee to the diaspora, and they were refugees in Africa until Herod died. Nowadays we as Africans are accustomed to taking refuge in other nations, but should never forget our potential. God used Africa to preserve the Seed that would bless the nations. I believe Africa will once again be a place of refuge for all the nations. May it surely come to pass, in Jesus name.

80 is the new 20

It's believed that Moses was 40 years old when he left Egypt in Exodus chapter 2. From there he lived another 40 years before God called him and sent him back as the deliverer of Israel from the yoke of the Egyptians. "And Moses was eighty years old and Aaron eighty-three years old when they spoke to Pharaoh. Exodus 7 vs 7" So at 80 years of age, Moses started his career. Much of the life of Moses that we know is when he was 80 years of age and up. Even Today For my fellow FIFMI family, did you know that when our father Apostle Dr. EH Guti enrolled in Bible School, he was almost 50 years of age? During that time, the church was still in its infancy, and all the great things that we now know God has done through him were difficult to imagine or speak of. But today, even now at 97 years old , he's still running daily, making plans, winning souls, planting churches, and preaching the gospel. When the world says its time to retire, God's timeline says it's t...

A Covenant Must Not Be Broken - Joshua 9 vs 3 to 18

May there be a revival of the true fear of God, so that the sacredness of a spoken oath may be restored in our generation. Today we say "a promise" in our modern language. Same thing. Our generation just doesn't understand the seriousness of the offense in heaven's view when a covenant is broken. The fact its, we need revival. What was it that caused Joshua and the leaders of Israel to keep their word, even though they were deceived by the Gibeonites? They genuinely believed God was there. When i know that He is present, and that heaven makes a record of my words, i will fear to make a covenant, and do it with fear and trembling. This kind of fear of God, oh how i want it! May God help me. Revive us oh Lord, to the genuineness that was found in your people in generations past. Forgive us and help us. Joshua 9 vs 3 - 6 3 But when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and Ai,4 they worked craftily, and went an...
