DAILY VITAMIN
- What You Have Is Priceless
"And God has reserved for His children the priceless gift of eternal life; it is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay" (1 Peter 1:4 TLB)
      There is something in you as a Christian that the world can't find no matter how far and deep they search for it; and that is eternal life. And this is because it can't be found, it is only given when we believe in the Son who was given for our sake. The scripture says that the day we believed, we received this eternal status of life (John 6:47). What that means is that the day we believed and received Jesus, He took all of our death and gave us all of His life, and everything that comes with it (John 1:12). The episode of Calvary was recreated in the very personage of our spirits for our eternal redemption. And as I have always said, eternal life isn't just living forever, but living forever in union with God.
       Do you know what that means? It means you will never be separated from Him forever. Praise God! In other words, you are in heaven right this moment. The eternal union between you and the Lord is what heaven represents; and Jesus said "it is within you already" now that you have this life (Luke 17:21). So, be excited. You have God living on the inside, brewing an incorruptible life within and out of you. The expression and experience of heaven is fully and constantly exercised in your spirit. You are in the reality of His eternal light.
       Peter said it is kept safe in heaven for us, but we know that means safe within our spirits by the heaven-sent Holy Spirit who guards all committed to Him till the end (2 Tim 1:12).
      Hence, don't let what you are presently going through discourage you; you are full of light and life. Isaiah 60:2 says God shall arise upon you with His glory reflected from you. That is, He is coming from the inside to your outward dispositions. He's painting your very person with Himself. So, don't be depressed or repressed by anything, there's something in you that most men sought for and never found. You should be celebrating; because in you is the same life that gives life to everything made and around you. God is in you; His life is evident in yours; and that, my friend, is priceless.

Confession:
I am full of the life of God. I have eternal life on the inside of me. I am not just an ordinary man, I belong to the God-Kind. And because I have God living within me, everything that answers to God answers to me. Because I have the life of God within me, I can restore life to everything lacking it. I have a home in heaven after my tasks for the Lord are done here on earth; and there I shall forever bask in the glory of His presence. Amen.

Giving Generously

-
DAILY VITAMIN  There is a difference between giving and giving generously. Generosity is more than just how much you give, but how hearted you do. What makes the poor fellow rich in the sight of God is how richly he gives even though in need himself. Richly, not in terms of quantity or even quality, nor quantifiable mass, but richly based on how much from the heart it is given. Was the heart rich in compassion, God's love and mercy as it gave? Or was it full of egotism, self-pride and every trait that makes him believe it is all in his power? Remember, a broken heart and a contrite spirit[full of the first traits], God wil not despise (Ps 51:17); and as long as there is a willingness of heart and readiness of mind[spurred by genuine love], it is acceptable towards God (2 Cor 8:11-12). This is why God isn't just crazy in love with any giver, but a cheerful giver. One whose givings start from the heart outward. One who first gives with the heart and reflects it by his hands. Tha

See It God's Way

DAILY VITAMIN - See It God's Way "For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." (Jeremiah 29:11 TLB)     Have you ever noticed how at some point in your life when everything seemed to be going AWOL, then all of a sudden something great came out of it all? At least I have seen it happen without number in my life and others'. Well, that's exactly what God does for a living- turning bitter sources into a spring of life.     Just like most of us, one man who had a myriad of experience regarding this has to be David. David once said that he would have fainted if he hadn't believed to see God's goodness in his life. And went ahead in advising us to wait patiently for all God has promised regardless of what we are currently going through (Psalm 27:13-14). And believe me, he knows what he was talking about.     For instance, David had been told he had been chosen by God to

Desist From Rash Decisions

DAILY VITAMIN Decisions made out of anger or envy are not only self destructive, but they also affect the attitude of those we seem not to desire their hurt. For instance, when the sons of Jacob conspired to kill Joseph, to them it was the perfect way to get rid of the 'big dreamer' that made them all look like vision-less fellows, and had taken their father's affection from them; so they took it upon themselves and agreed that they were totally correct in their intended evil action. After they had sold him and feigned his death, they might have believed it had all ended, only to be shocked with the countenance of their father, thereby sentencing themselves to a lifetime of grief and sorrows from the man they honored most- their father Israel. That alone was enough to prick their conscience until they were clouded with the mist of regret. They sought his attention for themselves, but all they created was a deficit to their own loss; thus causing more harm than what warran

Love Is Where Life Begins

DAILY VITAMIN What's the most important thing to you in life? Think for a while before you answer. And you can take as long as it takes. Alright! Are you ready now? Let's continue. In everything you do always remember that love comes before ambition. Most times we get so carried away in climbing the ladder of success that we fail to recognize and notice when there are hands stretching high for us to help lift them up. We so much pursue self-purposed desires that we miss those God sends our way to impact; not that they didn't show up, but that we failed to notice their arrival.  And guess what: Our silver lining of greatness in the sands of time and in the mouth of men is not built by the success we built for ourselves, but by how much success we attained in imparting and influencing people. Any achievement of ours' that has no positive impact on others isn't labeled success, but a self-fulfilled goal; and that's why Mother Teresa wrote 'a life not lived

Actions Speak Loudest

  DAILY VITAMIN - Actions Speak Loudest “Don’t hide your light! Let it shine for all; let your good deeds glow for all to see, so that they will praise your heavenly Father.” (Matthew 5:16 TLB) It was 4:30 p.m., sometime in late January 2015. The students were crowded en masse for Laboratory Practice registrations. Everybody was there; the sleek guys and girls, and the geeks as well. And also there was myself, and my very good friend Earnest. We were both members of the Christian Community on campus; but Earnest was the more vocal kind. Well, on this day, the hall was replete with students and the process slow, but eventually it got to our turn. The Registration Officer (R.O) requested for the required fee and documentation and thus signed me up; however when it was Earnest’s time to get registered, he failed to ask for the fee. Anyway, when we were both done with the process and on our way back home, Earnest softly indicated that we stop for a moment. As we stood there under the canop
