YOU HAVE  SOMETHING TO IMPART

PS EBEN AMAKEH

For I long to see you , that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift ,to the end ye may be established:(Romans 1:11)


Notice that the Apostle Paul didn’t say, “…I long to see you that we may pray together and ask God to impart you with some spiritual gifts…..”, no .Rather ,he said,”…..I long to see you , that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift…”Paul knew he had something to give ,contrary to what some people might think about themselves’, they don’t believe they have the gifts of the spirit “Nobody has any gift; only God has gift, so stop saying you have a gift,” they’d say, thinking they are being humble.    
However, that’s ignorance, not humility, and God doesn’t want us to be ignorant about the gift or manifestations of the spirit. He said in 1corithians 12:1, “Now concerning spiritual gifts brethren, I would not have you ignored,” because the manifestation of the spirit is given to every man for the common good(1corithians 12:7).1corithians 12:8-10 further highlights for us several gifts and manifestation of the spirit given to each one of us as the spirit wills.
Paul had something to give, therefore, he longed for his meeting with the believers in Rome, because of the effect it was going to produce in their lives and in his as well. He said “…That I may be comforted  together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me”(Romans 1:12). In other words, he’d be comforted by the results of his spiritual impartation in the lives of these saints in Rome.
We need this in the church today more than ever. Part of the reason some Christians are lukewarm and seem to be beak is that they’ve never receive such impartation of the spirit. The bible tells us how the apostles went about confirming or strengthening the saints in the early church (Acts 14:22). How did they do it?. It was through preaching and teaching of the word, and the demonstration of the power of the Holy spirit.
It’s not enough for people to believe they must also be confirmed, that is, strengthened through the impartation of the gifts of the spirit. We have something to give, we’re not ordinary. Bless others with the gift and power of the Holy spirit in your life.

GROW YOUR MIND

INVEST IN YOURSELF (GROW YOUR MIND) But their minds were blinded:......2 Corinthians 3:14 When we talk about "Grow Your Mind" we mean how to take the world to the next level,move to the next level.Here are some of the steps to grow your mind. 1) INVEST TIME IN CREATIVITY . Our creativity doesn’t have to diminish as we get older. In fact, it is believed that the peak of creativity in most people is around 30-40 years old. Creativity can be the catalyst in the manifestation of continual learning and lifelong activity. It allows us to be inspired, have fun and appreciate the beauty in the world. It is very important to manage your time effectively because time is so valuable. Make an audit of how you generally spend your time each day to see if you are prioritizing correctly. You may be surprised to learn that you spend too much time checking and updating your status on Facebook, Whatsapp ,looking at your phone, hitting the snooze button on your alarm and lazing

THE GREAT COMMISSION

PREACH THE WORD “So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the Gospel to you that are at Rome”. Romans 1:15 J esus left us a message to tell the untold, a message for the whole world, if we talk about the “WORD OF GOD”, what does it mean? “The Word of God is all about God and his Heavenly” which brings us “Salvation”. And Salvation comes when one accept Jesus Christ as his/her Lord and Personal Savior , which also means the process of been saved from the World, the state of been saved from hell, been restored and made new or translated into his Heavenly Kingdom. In the Scripture above, Brethren, Apostle Paul said he is eager, in other words “READY” to proclaim that Jesus is Lord or Preach the word that is Jesus to everyone, which is a duty for every believer who accepts Christ as Lord and Personal Savior, which is the great commission. Jesus left us a message to tell the untold, a message for the whole world. In the book of Ezekiel 3:17 says “Son of man, I have mad

FAITH AND THE WORD

FAITH AND THE WORD PS EBEN Now faith is the substance of the things hoped for,the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 You need to meditate on the word of God. The more you meditate on the Word, the more your heart acts upon the Word. When the Word of God dominates your heart, it influences your character and conduct. When faith comes, it influences your conduct and character-it is no longer about what you want to do but about what God want you to do. When your conduct and character are influenced by God that is salvation. When you are saved , you no longer think the way you want to think but the way God want you to think. Allow the word to dominate your hart and all other things that you need will begin to come. Matthew 6:33 says, “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be added to you.”
