Get excited about God

man after God's heart
Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desire of thine heart (psalm 37:4).
   When the Bible says you should “delight yourself in the Lord”, that’s another way of saying “Get excited about God!” To be “excited” means “to be stirred by strong emotion;” that means when you think about God, you’re stirred in your heart. It means that you think about him fondly and want to do anything to please God and be in His presence. He said “I was glad when they said unto me; let us go into the house of the Lord” (Psalm 122:1)! He was so excited about God that God called him the “…man after mine own heart” (Acts 13:22).
   The Bible says “then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father…” (Isaiah 58:14). Did you see that? People who are excited about God will always have the supernatural happening in their lives; God personally causes them to live above the system of the world! Everyday for them is glorious and colourful. But those who are not excited about Him (thought they are saved) have a dull experience of life.


   When you delight yourself in the Lord, the Bible says “…He shall give thee the desires of thine heart.” In other words, when you’re excited about God and delight yourself in him, you wouldn’t need to pray for anything for yourself! While the desire is yet in your heart, God will give it to you! Your prayer life will become one of intercession for others and continuous worship. Get excited about God and all that’s important to Him, and experience an overflow of the miraculous!

You are alive by the Spirit

    But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you Romans 8:11. God gave birth to us by the Word, through the spirit. You’re not ordinary person if you are in Christ or if you have the new life in Christ Jesus. The human life you received from your parents has been replaced, supplanted, by the divine life of Christ. 1 Peter 1:23 says, “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of corruptible, by the word of god, which liveth and abideth forever.”    Often, I tell people that Christianity is more than a legal document; it’s a vital experience; there’s a true life from Christ beating in your heart which is the new life in Christ Jesus. The natural man (anyone without the New Life in Christ Jesus or anyone who is not born again) lives by blood, but a Christian lives by the Spirit. No wonder Jesus, referring to the ne...

The Reign of Death is over

  Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come (Romans 5:14)  Satan became the god of this earth because he got it from Adam who lost out through disobedience, resulting significantly in the reign of death. Remember, God had told Adam, “… in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die” (Genesis 2:17). He was talking about spiritual death; spiritual death is the cause of physical death. So, our theme verse says, “Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses (the Law of Moses)…”  But who had the power of death? The Bible says, “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is the devil” (Hebrews 2:14). Satan was actually behind this reign of death. Now, here’s something exciting that I want ...

The Divinity of Jesus

   “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father; but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, have seen him” John 14:6-7.   “Is Jesus really God?”   This is one question many still ask today. They believe He was a great prophet and teacher, but find it difficult to accept that He is Himself God, but He is. The Bible says “In the beginning was the Word, and the word was with God, and the Word was God ” John 1:1. That “Word” that the Bible says “was God” became flesh-Jesus- and dwelt among us: “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” John 1:14.     Now, the prophecy that came forth before the birth of Jesus also foretold His divinity: “Behold, a virgin shall be with a child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanue...
