Humility is not Timidity

RenoSo many people are cheating God out of His praise by refusing to let their talents shine. They have been taught false humility such that they feel they must value their talents less than it is. People tell them you are very beautiful and they say ‘no I am not’. People say they are very hardworking and they say ‘oh no, I really am not’. That is not humility. Humility is acknowledging your talents and character improvements but giving God the credit for it. How many times have you heard people say ‘thank God for that man’? If that man had hidden his talents, or character who would have said that? Yeshu’a put it best in Matthew 5:16 “In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven”. Note the words “before others”. You are not meant to hide your light. That is not humility it is timidity!

Righteousness not Religion

RenoThe Bible says righteousness exalts a nation. The mistake Christians make is to think that religion exalts a nation. A nation may have a multiplicity of churches but if the citizens are getting more religious instead of more righteous they and their nation will not be exalted. This is why some African nations with a multiplicity of churches are do religious but Japan with a low crime rate is getting exalted. God loves all people whether Christian or not, but only those who act right will be exalted even if they may not make it to His Kingdom.

Use Things, Love People

How does God feel when He hears people say I love my car, I love this jeans, I love British Airways, I love this, I love that? Any sentence that has the word ‘love’ should always end with the word ‘God’ ‘me’ or ‘you’. Why? Because Jesus “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ And ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ We are to love ONLY God, ourselves and our neighbor (other human beings) Love people not things! The Biblical principle is to use things and love people.

The Right Way to Deal With Enemies

Reno Omokri's Book Launch 8If you want relief from enemies, one of the most unprofitable things you can do is fight them. If you fight them, they will fight you back and the enmity deepens. But God through the prophet has said “When a man’s ways please the LORD, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him”-Proverbs 16:7. The way to get relief from enemies is to live your life in a way that pleases God and God will cause your enemies to give you peace. God is in control of even our enemies and He uses them to correct flaws in our character, and when we deal with our character, there is no need for an enemy to be used to file away at the rough edges in our personality.

Formulae For Answered Prayers

Reno Omokri's Book Launch 8When we read Mark 11:24-25 we see that the formulae for manifesting your desires is to forgive, then believe, and continue to believe until you receive. “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.” It does nothing for you to keep praying until something manifests. Prayer doesn’t do the trick. Belief in God is what does. In actual fact, Matthew 6:7-8 says God already knows what you need before the prayer. If that was all He desires then you would have a manifestation even before you pray “when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him”.

Beat Aging

Reno Omokri's Book Launch 8Years don’t necessarily age us. Rather, it is the grudges, bitterness and unforgiveness of those years that age us. Think about it for a minute. When we were kids, our mothers dried clothes under the sun on a clothes line. Before putting the clothes on the line the line will be straight but after putting clothes on it, the weight of the clothes affects the line and it is no longer straight. If you walk about for years, you may not have a bent back, but if you carry grudges, bitterness and unforgiveness for most of those years, your back will definitely be bent over. So, if you wish to retain the vibrancy of youth be “quick to forgive an offense. Forgive as quickly and completely as the Master forgave you”-Colossians 3:13 (MSG). And don’t let anyone deceive you, there’s no forgiveness without forgetfulness. Love “keeps no record of wrongs”-1 Corinthians 13:5.

Faith and Fear

Reno Omokri's Book Launch 8The reason why people are either incurable optimists (a person who see hope in the future) or incurable pessimists (a person who believes the worst of the future) is because both persons work on the principle of faith and whatever you have faith in tends to happen which in turn crystallizes your belief system. Job proved this principle in Job 3:25 when he testified that “the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me”. Job was afraid of the future and his fears came to pass. The woman with the issue of blood had had her condition for twelve years, yet, she remained an optimist and because of her hopefulness for the future, “she said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed”-Matthew 9:21. And what she hoped for became her reality. These two situations are proof positive that whether you expect good or bad, you will never be wrong. Furthermore, the woman with the issue of blood proved that the length of your negative situation does not have to turn you from an optimist to a pessimist.
