What Have You Done With My Love?

There is a popular song with a simple yet deeply profound message: “This Jesus I have seen is enough for me.” It goes on to say, “This Jesus I have held is enough for me.”

But as I studied the Scriptures, particularly in Acts of the Apostles, where the great miracle in Joppa occurred, the question shifted. It was no longer about whether I had held or encountered Jesus. Instead, it became: What have I done with the One I have held?

In Acts 9:39, we read:

“So Peter rose and went with them. When he arrived, they took him to the upper room. All the widows stood around him, weeping and showing the tunics and other garments that Dorcas had made while she was still with them.”

It is so easy to become consumed with our own needs and requests that we forget this truth: Jesus’ answers to our prayers. His visits to us are not an end in themselves. They are invitations. He is asking, “What have you received that you take it out there?” Because what you carry might be the very miracle someone else is believing for. Your journey could ignite hope in another.

When this woman, Dorcas (Tabitha), encountered Jesus, it is clear she knew Him as her Source and Provider. The Bible does not tell us whether she was wealthy or where her resources came from. But it tells us enough: she had a heart willing to care for others. Her love was expressed through action—so much so that her works spoke for her even after her death.

She had seen Jesus in a certain light, and she chose to let others experience that same light through her life.

“This much I have received. I want others to partake of it.”

If we have encountered Him as our Light, then we must remember: there is a world in deep darkness that needs that light.

If you have seen His protection, can you extend that assurance to someone who is afraid?

If you have seen Him make a way, can you testify: “There was a time I felt all hope was lost—but that was the beginning of my deliverance.”

I have seen Jesus, and I do not want to see Him alone. I want the world to see Him through every part of me.

God gives, and gives, and keeps giving—all so He can draw us closer to Himself. John 3:16 is the summary of His greatest gift:

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son…”

The voice of Elohim is echoing within us:

“Come, let Me show you how to love this way.”

You have seen My love manifested in your life—now become an extension of who I am:

His wisdom

His grace

His love

His peace

All these we now carry because we have first seen them in Him.

Today, God is saying:

“Show the world the Jesus you have seen.”

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.
