  DAILY VITAMIN - Your Miracles Are In Your Hands "All things are possible if you can believe..." (Mark 9:23) Note, the emphasis is on You. You are the defining factor in the world of miracles. Not God. And I'll show you how. Miracles are 50/50. What this means is that we have a huge role to play. You see, miracles are not a big deal to God, just to us. It's everly in His atmosphere as oxygen is in ours. Yet a working mechanism is required if we are to obtain it with ease.  However, regarding oxygen, many, though, humans still can't absorb it directly due to one congenital mishap or another. Very painful it is. But such that not all of us can as readily get what has been made hugely available. The same applies to miracles. God does and grants platforms/seeds for miracles daily. As the scripture says He daily loads us with benefits (Psalm 68:19). The problem is that we have not grown the capacity to receive. Jesus said "According to your faith, be it unto you.

  DAILY VITAMIN - Ask Anything "If you ask anything in my name, I will do it." (John 14:14) As kids, weeks before our birthdays we are asked what we would love to have the most, and oftentimes than not we did get them. Even now as adults we still get asked. For instance, today's my birthday and if I didn't always do enough to hide that information from a lot of people including familiars I'd still get asked right now. But here's the thing: such gracious offers of asking in order to receive certain gifts only happen on certain occasions, humanly speaking; however with God it's a plain cheque. Jesus instructed us to ask if we've never asked anything of Him and assures us that when we do our joy will be complete (John 16:22-24). Meaning He won't disappoint us. Rather He will answer us, and speedily so long as it's not against His ways. For example, you can't ask God for your neighbor's wife. That'd be stupid when God Himself declared t

  DAILY VITAMIN - See It As God Sees It "Look as far as you can see in every direction, for I am going to give it all to you and your descendants..." (Genesis 13:14-17 TLB) Life is hard. That's the truth, but it's not what matters. What really matters is how we respond to it. Because that's what faith is all about: how we respond to it.  Faith says I'm still here when life has thrown its worst blow. Faith says it's not over when life's mockingly saying it is. Faith says I trust God when life says God can't do anything about the situation. Faith knows there's another way, God's way, and chooses that other way. In the theme verse, God told Abraham that though he may not have experienced the increase promised, but if he can see it he can have it. And Abraham did choose to see it, and he got it eventually. The thing is life offers us a choice. Always. Its reality and then God's. The reality of life is that life is tough and crazy things hap

  DAILY VITAMIN - Logic vs. Faith "What is faith? It is the confident assurance that something we want is going to happen. It is the certainty that what we hope for is waiting for us, even though we cannot see it up ahead." (Hebrews 11:1 TLB) Does faith really defy logic? Well, that's a question with contrasting answers. Logic, in itself, deals with the aggregation of premises to reach a suitable conclusion. Such that if I say I am feeling feverish and have no appetite, then it can be inferred that I am sick. A postulation of fact based on provable evidences. Whereas faith, though, also based on an evidence, relies solely on one truth: that God is good and is real and is all He says He is. In this regard, logic will disagree because it cannot prove there's a God by way of premises. However, while that may happen, logic is necessary for faith to be legit.  First, for instance, a man who never knew hepatitis C is incurable would term it coincidence if it does vanishes f

  DAILY VITAMIN - A Clean Bill of Health Is Possible "No inhabitant of Zion shall say "I am sick..." (Isaiah 33:24) God is able to make all grace abound toward a man that he'd get to have all things in sufficiency, including good health. I've seen it happen many times. In Jesus' time, He healed as many as were sick and the Bible never told us these folks went back to being sick ever again. The woman with the bleeding problem, the blind man at the pool of Siloam, the invalid at Bethesda, and the old woman at the temple with a bad back, none of them returned to their sickened state after He touched them. And you don't have to either. The Bible said He will restore health unto us and heal us of all our wounds (Jeremiah 30:17). Not some, all. He knows how painful that condition is for you and promises to heal you. Why is this so important? Because it's against protocol for a child of Zion to be ridden by sickness. Our theme verse says it's an abominat

  DAILY VITAMIN - Do Not Let The Monster Win "....but be a new and different person with a fresh newness in all you do and think. Then you will learn from your experience how his ways will really satisfy you." (Rom 12:2 TLB) When a man becomes born again, what gets rebirthed is his spirit. Not the soul nor the body. This is why at first, the urge to smoke a joint or to down a full bottle of alcohol still remains if you used to do that, or the crave for drugs or to fornicate. And sometimes many still slip into these vices. Not because their salvation wasn't genuine, but because though their spirit has been saved, their bodily elements and a large portion of their yet-to-be spiritually influenced soul still remains as it were. Without a fresh newness. Still doing as you once thought and did. Which are the two actions that shape a man's everyday life. Now, these other facets of man learn to change and be transformed as the spirit influences our daily living. It's lik
