Memory Verses With Explanation

Key scripture: Acts 12:1-11 

At what point did you realise you were sitting right in the middle of a fulfilled promise?

God's promises are seldom what we imagine them to be. Like scripture says; "my thoughts are not your thoughts neither are my ways your ways"..
Our idea of the promise is often different
from the reality of it.
Case in point: the Israelites idea of bread from Heaven in the wilderness,being Manna (a whitish substance) which they had to cook themselves before consuming...

I was scruffling through my old books and stumbled upon a journal where i wrote down prophecies and teachings,took it out and started going through the notes and realized so many prophecies given me had been fulfilled and i didn't even realize it. 
I was so preoccupied with the "What Next's" of life that i couldn't see the different areas at which God had moved in my life already.
So many miracles and encounters go unnoticed all cause we have our eyes set on our own fantasies, or are totally lost in the cares of this world.
We pray earnestly for things and when they happen we either don't see it or feel bamboozled by it. 

Taking Peter as a case study;
He prayed earnestly for his release from prison alongside other disciples, got an angelic visitation and didn't realise it.
The Angel of the Lord promptly showed up, took him by the hands and led him through tight security gates whilst he was still asleep(spiritual slumber)
He didn't see(understand) his miracle until He had gotten out of the city gates. Then it dawned on Him what God was doing this whole time.. 
Peter engulfed by the happenings around him was too blinded to spot the fulfilment of the promises made to him and the answers to his prayers that It took the divine intervention of the Holy Spirit to awaken him up to it.

Just like Peter, we are either too preoccupied with the hustle of life, being molested by the government policies of whatever country you live in, dealing with peer pressure, mental disorders, joggling between being a Mom and a Wife while maintaining a nine-five job, etcetera etcetera..
What if we took some time off all that noise and have a time of reflection? 
How about we take 30mins off the 24hrs we've been given to sit with the Holy Spirit and have a moment of meditation while He takes you through all that He has done and is doing in this season?
There are certain moves of God that only He Himself can awaken you to.

Now i ask again, how many of God's prophecies or promises are you living in unbeknown to you?
Time to have a vision book check!!!!

Memory Verse With Explanation

Luke 7:37-38 NIV‬ [37] A woman in that town who lived a sinful life learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee’s house, so she came there with an alabaster jar of perfume. [38] As she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them. If you're an ardent bible study attendee then this scripture would be very familiar to you. So familiar a scripture that even unbelievers know it. It's the story of the woman with the alabaster box. A woman who poured out more than a year's wages on the feet of Christ as a form of reverence to him, not only that, washed his feet with her tears and wiped them clean with her hair. One thing about this popular scripture is that the woman in question was a renowned prostitute,one who at her time was considered unworthy to be in the presence of noble men let alone the presence of the King of Kings. This story has been acted on stag...

Memory Verse With Explanation

Galatians 4:1-2 NIV‬ [1] What I am saying is that as long as an heir is underage, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate. [2] The heir is subject to guardians and trustees until the time set by his father.  I remembered having a conversation with my dad one time during my childhood days that made everybody seated there burst into laughter.  I asked if i could get money to buy "pampers"(Sanitary Pad) seeing as my elder sisters were using one LOL!! Yeah feel free to laugh at my childishness as everyone who heard the story after that day laughed at me and called me miss pampers.  I wanted to do grown up stuff when i wasn't even at that stage yet. I hadn't started menstruating but i wanted money to buy pad that i wasn't ready for, I thought it was the coolest thing to do as girls i didn't realise i would first have to spot miss red flag before getting my own pampers. Today's scripture is no different from my childhood ta...

Memory Verse With Explanation

Matthew 6:25-26 NIV‬ [25]  “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? [26] Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?  Since i was born and now i am getting old never have i seen or heard that rats lost weight as a result of food inflation. I have never heard that wall geckos ever ran out of supplies to the point of carrying placards to protest before God. I haven't also seen where wild animals in the jungle like lions and crocodiles ate weeds. They always had their supplies undisrupted.  Animals who were created less than us have since creation been provided for how much more you and i who were made in God's image and likeness? Impatience is not what we suffer from as humans but trust issues is. We fear what...
