“Unveiling the Profound Benefits of Intercession” By Sis. Blessing Ugwu

“Exod.17.11: And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. (KJV).

In this article, we will delve into the profound effects of intercession:

Impact on Individuals and People:
Intercession bridges the gap for others, leading them into light, salvation, maturity, and victory over challenges. For instance, Jesus interceded for Peter’s faith to remain steadfast, resulting in his remarkable contributions to the early church. Lazarus’ revival after intercession demonstrates its transformative power. Similarly, personal testimonies attest to intercession’s ability to break through sickness and adversity (Exo 17:11).

Transformative Power on the Intercessor:
Intercession draws God’s attention to the intercessor. As prayers go up for others, God attends to the intercessor’s needs, refining their character and circumstances. Job’s intercession for his friends led to his own restoration. Moses’ radiant face after communing with God illustrates how intercession can bring about personal transformation (Job 42:10, Exo 34:35).

Manifestation of the Kingdom of God:
Intercession activates the presence of God’s kingdom on Earth, summoning…..”

“Lessons from the Life of Timothy” By Sis. Blessing Ugwu

“The study of individuals and an understanding of their actions, lifestyle, and exploits can help us in our journey to purpose.

Here, I will explore some of the transitional truths about the life of Timothy, which can help every Christian in their walk with God.

First, who was Timothy? The name Timothy means ‘honoring God,’ and the man Timothy in the Bible was from the Lycaonian city of Lystra or Derbe in Asia Minor. He was born to a Jewish mother who had become a Christian believer and a Greek father. He met Apostle Paul during his second missionary journey.

Studying the life of Timothy has opened me up to the following wisdom:

Generational influence: The truth remains that everyone comes from a generation that either impacts and reflects on the next generation positively or negatively, depending on the actions of the previous generation. However, we can make a difference, just like Timothy, who was raised by a mother who was a Jew and a father who was a Greek (Acts 16:1). His father’s influence as a Greek, which was termed the uncircumcised, could not hinder his vision of what God had deposited in his heart. He carefully made the right choice, resulting in a glorious destiny. As you can see, no matter your background, you can still fulfill that mission through your decision.

Adhering to spiritual virtue: Timothy lived on with the spiritual faith transferred to him, first from his grandmother to his mother and then to him (2 Tim 1:5). It is a great privilege for a person, whether young or old, to hold on to the positive spiritual attributes being imparted to them. Although we are in the last days where evil abounds, this should not quench or distract our focus on this virtue, which is your life.

Sincere trust: Timothy was totally devoted and genuine in his assignment to the extent that…..”

THE UNOCCUPIED HEART By Sis. Blessing Ugwu

“‘Then it says, I will return to the house I left. When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order.’ – Mathew 12: 44

An unoccupied heart is a heart without any content, void, having no occupant, spent in idleness or inactivity.

As Christians, our heart is like our home that needs to be occupied with what’s edifying and glorifying so as to make the most of our calling in thoughts, words and actions.

When you were saved, the blood of Jesus has already cleansed and put your heart in order. However you shouldn’t allow it to remain just like this, you must engage and fill it with the presence of God and the word of God.

Significantly,

▪Nature abhors a vacuum and….”
