The issue is that your dreams are too small. You need to dream bigger.

If Someone was asked to choose between having a bottle of coke and owning the coca cola company and the person chose a bottle of coke we would call the person small-minded. His dream is too too small.

If someone chose having an iPad over owning majority shares in the Apple corporation, we would call him dull.

Imagine your brother chose a Rolls Royce over owning the company that builds the cars. Would you not call for deliverance after doing an extended family meeting and intervention?

But many of us have been trained to be small minded like this by motivational messages and prosperity gospel.

Every house is built by someone but the maker of all things is God. And every builder has more honour than the house.

Every creator is more valuable, better, greater and more desirable than its creation.

Apple company >>> IPad
Coca cola company >>>> bottle of coke

God >>>> All creation.

Imagine when they ask you what you want in life, your answer is to be rich 😭😭. Imagine when they ask you the essence of your life, your answer is to be famous and influential or have lots of sex 😭😭.

Your dreams are small. You lack imagination.

You think what will satisfy you is the validation of men. Wait till you taste the validation of the creator of men.

You think what you need is long life on earth, wait till you taste eternal life.

You think what you want is riches and sex. Wait till you taste the embrace, the joy and pleasure of the eternal presence of the most beautiful, perfect, Ineffable One who created all desire and created all things that satisfy desire.

You think you need security? Wait till you meet the one that holds the universe in the palm of His hand.

You're dreaming of power over things in this world so that you can feel a sense of control because deep down you're afraid. Wait till you are in the presence of the one who holds all power and glory and honour. Wait till your fears are banished forever.

You think anything in this world will satisfy you? Wait till you see the one who created this world, the one from whom every good and perfect gift flows.

If your mind is open and alive your goal in life will be to please God. If you had any imagination, your dream in life would be the imperishable crown that He gives to those who live for Him.

Your problem is that prosperity gospel has narrowed your mind and lowered your gaze. Your dreams are too small.

Dream bigger. Lift up your gaze and look above, to where Christ who is your life is.

Dream bigger. Dream of God's validation. Dream of heaven. Dream of pleasing God no matter what it costs you now. Dream of things eternal not temporary things. Dream of perfect things not imperfect. Dream of what will truly wipe away all your tears and pain and sorrow forever.

Stop dreaming of things that are making you unstable, miserable and empty.

Dream big! Like the Apostles, the prophets, spirits of just men made perfect, and many giants of our faith who have gone ahead of us.

Dream big, Fam!

In 1910, the 6 most powerful men in America vanished.

They boarded a private train using fake names & disappeared to a remote island.

What they created in total secrecy now controls $30.5 trillion in U.S. money.

[Sam @DrFeruke]

We often talk about the beauty of God's providence when Joseph told his brothers that it wasn't they that sent him to Egypt but God.

We don't talk enough about God's grace in providence. He used the wickedness of the brothers to set up events that saved them from famine. Who does that? Who turns a man's evil to the man's salvation?

Such endless creativity! Such grace! A God that calls light to shine out of darkness! I am awe struck by His grace and wisdom. My trust is in Him.

I believe Him when He says all things work together for my good. I believe in Jesus!

@Josh_with_Sauce The law also prescribed death for heresy when Paul participated in Stephen’s murder.
It’s not law that decides what’s murder—it’s scripture that decides.
If not abortion is not murder in any country where it is legal, even if Christians do it.
Calvin KNEW that law was unbiblical.

CALVIN'S CORRUPTION & SEEKERS

So, we had an indoor evangelistic event on Saturday instead of the usual Doctrine and Power. During Friday's session, which was preparatory to Saturday's event, I taught on our double need/obligation – as saints – to seek the Lord and to seek the lost. We even themed the weekend SEEKERS.

Meditating and preparing for the weekend brought me into particular reconsideration of soteriology, and that's how Calvin(ism) came into focus. I mentioned on Friday evening, while preaching, how much I disagree with aspects of TULIP. Next day, and during the evangelistic meeting, like 'out of nowhere,' I began to sense that apart from saving, it was God’s plan and will to heal the sick that evening too. That's how cessationism came into the mix.

Busy week/end came to an end, and I popped on Twitter with snippets of my ongoing thought and meditation from the week/end. I made posts about Calvin(ism) and cessationism - the two issues that had been in focus over the weekend. Enters CT mind-readers.

Saints on CT Naija jumped on their keypads to accuse me of picking on Calvin BECAUSE they were dragging my 'friend', while others said my posts were part of a tactic to take attention away from my 'friend'. The assurance, the confidence with which they imputed motive to my post was both befuddling and unfortunate. Someone said I was being 'sly'. Now, these are saints speaking with such confidence as if God had directly told them why I made those posts, since I didn't. Saints were quick to jump on the worst case scenario possible, to explain my posts.

Thereafter the fireworks staggered from unnecessary arrogance, to veiled insults and all the way to charge of theological illiteracy (we don't read... even when we are right, it is by accident, etc). And why? Because they said I (we) must not be allowed to distract the conversation away from my 'friend'. Saints!

Calvin is not infallible. Everybody agrees to this in theory. Theoretically therefore, he could have been wrong on any number of things, either because of personal liabilities or environmental (cultural, social, civil) context. Theoretically, we must all agree on this. But inconsistencies happen. So that, what we believe theoretically may be different from how we behave in practice.

Opposition to Calvinism is as old as Calvinism itself. Therefore, there's nothing new here to see, in that sense, with my disagreement with it. In fact, I will argue that historical and informed Calvinist soteriology is deeply flawed, not just because it misrepresents biblical soteriology but because it obscures and misrepresents WHO God is – per His nature and character. Again, I am not the first person in history to observe that the many doubles in Calvinism (for instance – and in layman's terms – like: LOVE does not mean love, like that... WHOSOEVER does not mean whosoever, like that... ALL does not mean all, like that, etc) are biblically unwarranted in many doctrinally consequential cases.

Calvin's contemporaries observed these needless hermeneutical devices, during his lifetime. To posit therefore that to disagree with Calvin's soteriological framework and the misleading sophistry with which it has been fabricated amounts to wholesale denial of the merits and legitimacy of the reformation – the reformation that led to the break from Roman Catholicism – is an inordinately awkward position. There is no world where disagreeing with Calvin's soteriology must necessarily mean that one is taking sides with Roman Catholicism. But these are the positions that saints have advanced in this season, here on CT Naija.

Explicitly or tacitly, we can strain out the gnat of definitional exactitude while swallowing the camel of doctrinal corruption. So, we can get hung up over how much 'Paliggenesia' is in sozo, while we gloss over how much sozo is in Christ. These are the sort of corruption that can creep upon a soul once allegiance to a system competes, even if it does not surpass allegiance to God and His revealed word.

God draws people. Yes. God's prevenient grace is attested to in scripture. sure. But our argument is, these (are) pre-regeneration acts of God (and) are (biblically) not irresistible. God 'appoints' people to eternal life, but the question is 'on what basis?' How you answer that depends largely on your hermeneutical grid and presuppositions.

Calvinism as I see it, and as many eminent saints and theologians, mystics and martyrs through the centuries have observed, is deeply misleading in it's soteriology. And I will contest that academic Calvinism is farther from scriptures than the popular version in practice (thank God). And, we could say the exact opposite for historic Pentecostalism.

The bare bone of my first post stands. John tells us that: "Jesus did many other signs... which are not written in this book; but these are written so that you may BELIEVE that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may HAVE LIFE in his name." And,
Jesus Himself said: "you refuse to come to me that you may HAVE LIFE." Both meaning that Faith precedes Regeneration. That is: believing, aka, coming to Jesus, precedes having life, aka, regeneration.

Faith, the condition necessary for God to regenerate a sinner, does not come by regeneration. Faith comes before regeneration.

You may argue. You may disagree. You may ridicule and insult. They are all within your right. But to claim to know why I came out disagreeing with Calvin, when in fact, you do not know why, is not becoming – for saints. If you think I am a brother, you should know not to bear false witness against your brother. And even if you think me an enemy, don't you owe me the duty of love still, the sort that does not think the worst of people? Love your enemies.

The problem is not her designs—the problem is crediting God as the source of something that is in direct contravention to God’s word.

And it’s actually possible she asked God for inspo; & then added stuff she herself knows are not in the inspo God gave—because humans are humans.
