When good is not about you but God

This morning, I was in a cab heading to the Island on my way to work. When I entered, I asked the driver for the fare, and he told me. There was already a lady seated at the back, and as more passengers entered, she asked an elderly woman—perhaps her mother or sister—why the driver was charging everyone the same amount, even though some had joined the ride midway. She said it felt like cheating, while the other woman disagreed.

Immediately, my heart drifted to the word good. How do we truly define “good”? Have we become people who define good only by what benefits us? When it works in our favor, it is good—but when it doesn’t, suddenly it is not.

We love to see good things happen to us, but when it’s someone else’s turn, we often turn away and pretend not to see. Scripture says, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself” (Mark 12:31), which means we should treat others exactly how we want to be treated—loving them as long as it is within our power.

The Bible also reminds us, “Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them” (Matthew 7:12). This is the true measure of goodness.

When God created man, He looked and saw that he was good (Genesis 1:31). This means there is something within you that has the capacity for good. But the fall of man introduced a distorted definition of what good is. Yet God is calling us back to His standard—to pursue peace with all and to seek the good of others: “If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men” (Romans 12:18).

Scripture also says, “Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, leading to edification” (Romans 15:2), and “Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do so” (Proverbs 3:27).

Be accommodating. Be kind. Be polite. “God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him” (1 John 4:16). Those who worship Him must reflect His character.

God is Calling, Can You Hear?

Yes, God is calling—can you hear Him?

Recently, I listened to a minister who brought out a scripture that says, “In the last days, the whole earth will be filled with the knowledge of God.” Then a reflective question was asked: if God has promised that the earth will be filled with His knowledge, why are we still surrounded by so much darkness and destruction?

The truth is, God said the earth will be filled with the knowledge of Him, but there was no clause stating that the knowledge of evil would be withdrawn. So, each day, just as God is seeking men and women who will propagate His agenda and purpose, the enemy is also raising strategies to spread his own knowledge.

God is calling—can you hear Him?

He is asking: What kind of content are you putting out there?

I know there are some reserved believers who would rather live quietly as Christians, but even in our quietness, we can still say “yes” to God in the simplest posture and position we take.

God is calling for builders. Knowledge and information are also building materials. But He is asking, Can I partner with you so that the whole earth can truly be filled with the knowledge of Me?

All I need is your mind.
All I need are your hands.
All I need are your deeds.

But can we be partners, so that this part of you becomes an extension of Me?

Just like Stephen, of whom it was recorded that he was so full of the Holy Spirit that everything he did was controlled by Him—can we choose that posture?

A posture where everything we have can be used by God, and not even the fear of death can separate us from Him.

And so, we ask that the Lord grant us grace for this season—that our hearts will perceive what He is doing, and that we will align with it, because this is the way of builders.

After Prayer: Strategy for manifestation

Prayer and strategy are what produce results. Many of us have learned to pray consistently and that is good, but we often miss an important part of the process. 

After praying, or even while praying, we must also put strategies in place to bring the victories God has shown and promised into manifestation.

It is not enough to just pray; you must also be strategic. Even in prayer, we should come to a place where we ask God questions: 

“How will this be? 

You have shown me this how will it come to pass? 

James 2:26 (KJV) 

“For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.”

What steps should I take to see it manifested?”

For example, if you have prayed for the salvation of souls, you must also go out and preach so that your prayers can find expression. It is like praying for career growth without applying for jobs there will be no results without action.

Faith and work go hand in hand. You must cooperate with God, taking intentional and practical steps instead of assuming things will automatically fall into place. As you act in alignment with your prayers, God brings His promises to life in due time.

Remember the story of Moses. When God called him to return to Egypt as a deliverer, it was not without strategy. Moses asked the Lord questions, and received instructions. When he wondered if Pharaoh would believe him, God gave him specific signs to demonstrate His power.

Before this encounter, the desire to deliver Israel was already in Moses, but his earlier attempt failed because it was not done God’s way. It was after his encounter with God that he received divine strategies. This shows us that vision alone is not enough we need God’s direction to execute it properly, that why your strategy must align with God's plan.

You cannot say you want to build after praying and then neglect strategy. Every building requires a foundation, structure, and process. In the same way, every answered prayer requires intentional steps and alignment with God’s instructions.

Walking in Godly strategy is part of God’s plan for manifestation. When we combine prayer with action, we position ourselves to see results that last.

Prayer:

As we seek God in prayer, may we also receive divine strategies to build lasting structures. May our faith be expressed through intentional action, and may every promise of God find manifestation in our lives, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Seek yee first protocol

“But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”

(Matthew 6:33)

It is your ability to search that causes you to find. He who searches is in need of something, and that “something” you seek in is the Lord that can truly satisfy, if you seek something else and still feel a void on your inside.

You will realize that many people, before they encounter God, seek communion. They know that the world is controlled by a Supreme Being, but they have not yet found Him. I want to tell you today that the peace you are seeking can only come when you choose to follow Jesus.

That peace you seek can only come when you go after His Kingdom. For His Kingdom is not just a faraway place, but one you begin to enter and encounter even here on earth, because we are seated in heavenly places.

However, for you to truly come into the Kingdom, there is a standard—this is the “Seek ye first” protocol. Scripture says, Seek ye first His Kingdom.

Seek growth in the knowledge of Him.

Seek to live a righteous life.

Do not just have the gift of the Holy Spirit, but also bear the fruits.

Seek His righteousness, and every other thing, according to His will and purpose for your life, He will bring to pass.

“Seek ye first protocol ” should be our daily meditation, so that every day we ask Him, “Lord what would You have me do today?”Even as we come into the place of fellowship and communion with him today I pray that we receive the grace and the anointing to live right, in the name of Jesus. Grace to live right and not lose sight of the purpose of God for our lives in this season.

In Jesus name, Amen.
