See yourself with the eyes of God

Only when you truly see yourself through the eyes of God can you receive God's standard for you.. until then you will always live below your calling - receiving according to your own warped self worth , setting standards that are beneath you and missing the beauty that is in you, falling short when God always had more planned for you. That is why it is important that you know who you are according
 to God's word , because the way you see yourself will be a prerequisite for your blessing , if your self perception falls short so will your life. because the choices you make and the experiences you have will be controlled by what you can see. You set standards for your life depending on how you see yourself . You may want it but unless you see yourself as worthy of attaining it or able to achieve it you will always seek , attract and expect below that standard.

You are worth the highest price, so beautiful and precious to God , you are made in his image and likeness ,set apart for greatness , you are the righteousness of God , destined for a life of victory , but if you keep seeing yourself through the glasses that this world and its circumstances gave you , you will be blind to God's reality for your life and live but a fraction of your divine destiny.



God bless

Seek him with all your heart and you will find him !

God says seek me with all you HEART and you will find me. You may have tried to seek God with your mind - trying to determine his existence through examining historical facts and logical explanations - trying to understand supernatural principals with the natural mind - it's no wonder you returned without having experienced God . Put aside your own understanding for a moment, and truly open up your heart to receive from God , wholeheartedly ask Him to show you the truth , to 
reveal his glory to you, just open your heart..there's something so beautiful coming your way, if you will just wholeheartedly seek God... you will not be disappointed,just keep going. You may say you never found God but can you sincerely say that about something you never truly looked for? and If you have never thought or cared about looking what have you got to loose if you started to look ?more to the point what have you got to gain if all of this is truly reality ?


Jesus loves you and is waiting to come into your heart,fill you with the fullness of God, heal your pain, wash away your former life, fill you with unconditional joy, destroy bitterness and unforgiveness and strengthen you in every situation among many other beautiful things that only he can do... seek him ..find him...be free from it all ♥

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16

If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9

your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. Psalm 139:16

This is what the LORD says--your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb: I am the LORD, who has made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens, who spread out the earth by myself, Issaiah 44:24

God knows your tomorrow

Don't try and judge the calling of God on your life by what you see with your physical eyes today, don't assume that because your walk with God is not what you'd like it to be God doesn't have a unique Work for you to do for him. It is not by your works that God will call you it is by his divine recognition of exactly what he placed in you and the purpose he created you for, so don't let your perc
eption of who you are today be an excuse that stops you from seeking God to find out who he wants you to be tomorrow.God knows you better than you know yourself. It is God that will give you the ability to do that which he will ask of you if you will only yield to His spirit and be faithful to his guidance, You did not choose yourself, it is not for you to judge your eligibility - your part is just to say yes to his will for your life instead of creating your life based on your own expectations that come from sense knowledge . Remember you will give account for the potential he placed in you, isn't it time you found out what's in you?

Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. John 15:16
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." Jeremiah 1:5
But now thus says the LORD who created you, O Jacob, and he that formed you, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed you, I have called you by your name; you are mine. Isaiah 43:1
Being confident of this very thing, that he who has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: Philippians 1:6

Just say yes - he will take care of the rest!

When God gives you his Word, whether it be "This is going to happen" or "I want you to do this" the "How" is included in that Word . You may not know at the time the way in which it will come to pass , but knowing how it will work should not be a prerequisite for you to be in agreement with God.  When you receive the Word your part is to first say " Yes Lord" confess that word that he has given you , be in agreement with God, demonstrate your faith concerning that Word .

You do not need to work out the logic of the matter and try and find a way in which it is humanly possible , you are dealing with God ! . Don't try and have a human understanding of God's ability. You may look and look for a way that it could possibly come together and find nothing but that is because you are looking with the eyes of the flesh , considering the impossibilities of this world and forgetting that you are not of this world! forgetting that you serve a limitless God ! Don't constrain God with human comprehension.  God can do anything he wants to do , in any way in which he wants to do it and if he has said he will do it - he will do it! 

Just say Yes. For everything else you just need to follow the direction of the Holy spirit,  if there are things that you must do concerning the matter, it is the Holy spirit that will guide you . Be consistent with your fellowship with the Holy Spirit and remain strong in faith. Don't loose sight of that Word that God gave it to you , refuse to let go of it and it will surely come to pass. 

Just say Yes- He will take care of the rest <3

Jesus replied, "What is impossible with men is possible with God."  Luke 18:27

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, - Ephesians 3:20

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:18 

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. -Hebrews 11:1

You are called out of this world !


"If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you." John 15:19 .  To the new creation in Christ you are no longer of this world , you have been CHOSEN out of the world , chosen to be the light of the world , how can you be a light if you just blend into the darkness? Light stands out of darkness because there is something different about it , something distinguishing , something that sets it apart . Light is a complete contrast to darkness , as a child of God , your life should be as such that it is a complete contrast to the life those still in the world experience. Perhaps they may not be able to define it , but people should be able to look at you and know that there is something about you , something that tells them you are not like everybody else . As you are a light don't expect for people to relate to you in the same way they do with others , in fact if they do then it's something that you should be concerned about. Whether it be in your actions , your speech , your experiences , your priorities , people should know that you are not an ordinary person. Don't keep your faith in Jesus to yourself , it is selfish . I know some may say "I have my beliefs and I respect and allow other people to have theirs , each to their own " no . If you truly believe in the Gospel of Jesus Christ you know exactly what people are missing out on , and no it's not about being disrespectful to people or offensive  but instead in love sharing with them the beautiful thing that you have received in Christ , telling them of the wonders he has done in your life and the wonders he wants to do in theirs. It's not about trying to have an argument with someone "I am right you are wrong" or condemning someone but bringing them the "Good news". Some may say that  everyone is entitled to their own opinion and beliefs and though this may be true , you as the child of God know exactly what consequences this "entitlement" can bring if the wrong belief is adopted . Don't step back and watch people perish , minding your own buisness as people live without the gospel, when the truth is,you are no longer minding your own buisness but your fathers buisness ; which is what ? soul winning ! 
You are not of this world, people of this world cannot understand you and the life you lead but that is the way it has to be. Would a person go and buy something that is identical to what they already have - No , there is no point they will gain nothing new from it ,there is no attraction. In the same way your life in Christ has to be evidently different from that in the World.

"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven"  Matthew 5:16
"This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples"  John 15:8

Your life is for the glory of God. Each and  every blessing in your life is for the glory of God . Yes your father loves you and wants to bless you with those things you desire but he doesn't want it to stop at you , he wants this blessing to go further than you , he wants you to testify and bless the lives of others , he wants you to attract others into the light. Let it shine! If you have gone a long time without putting your faith to work , without demonstrating the power of God , without testifying you are not just short changing yourself but also those in your sphere of contact . Your world needs your testimonies! The next time you ask something of God , yes think about enjoying that thing he will provide for you but firstly think of the testimony it will give you , think about what you will do with that testimony , who you will bless with it , how it will become an instrument in your personal ministry. Even if you are praying for a personal need you can expand that desire to be bigger than you , to be for the good of others by just considering the potential of the testimony in every answered prayer .

As a child of God you will face persecution and critcism for the sake of the Gospel . Instead of trying to adjust your life to avoid it,  keeping quiet about your faith, not actively winning souls - putting a dimmer switch on your light , let it instead shine brighter than it ever has before , it's the only way that souls will be attracted to you and your God , when they recognise something distinguishing , something with the ability to cause changes in their life . As for the persecution as we well know we are blessed for the persecution we may suffer and besides it is nothing compared to that which Jesus endured for our sake and truly nothing compared to the suffering that the unsaved will experience if us who have the light keep it hidden .

Thanks for reading 
God bless you

You are God's extension


God gave us his nature of love so that we being extensions of Him can be vessels of this love to all his creations, so that through us the world can experience his unmatched unconditional,unfailing love. To truly love a person is to be God's outstretched arm to them. You are God's extension to the people in your world and to those you have been sent to.

When you are prompted to give to someone , whatever it is ,that is God assigning you with the responsibility of being the courier delivering that which he has entrusted to you and blessing someone. Just like a courier who always delivers on time, when you consistently deliver that which has been entrusted to you, you will be assigned more deliveries , you will have more to give. Whether it be time,material blessings or even a word of encouragement. As you consistently give you consistently receive.

You are God's extension , his mouthpiece ,his vessel of love ,his weapon against evil, his courier. As you make yourself available and yield to the direction of the Holy spirit delivering that which he has entrusted to you , He is busy packaging and sending another of his couriers with a blessing for you ♥

"And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us" Romans 5:5

"You are my battle-axe and weapons of war: for with you will I break in pieces the nations, and with you will I destroy kingdoms"  Jermiah 51:20

"For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do" Ephesians 2:10

"A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed." Proverbs 11:25

Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." Luke 6:38

Use your talents for the Kingdom of God !


Do you have something that you want to be successful in ? a skill that you want to improve ? a talent you want to express ? First look to God . Do that thing that your passionate about for the benefit of the kingdom of God , you will find that you will have increased ability in that area , that opportunities to demonstrate your talent will find you because God has become your investor. When an investor pledges their input into a project , the greater their return is likely to be the greater their investment will be. When your success becomes beneficial for the kingdom, God will increase you and promote you in the same way an investor will place more money into a reliable project . When you are involved in the work of God your desire ceases to be small ,it is benefiting others, it starts to be bigger than you which means that your talent ,opportunities and success also cease to be small . Want to see an improvement ? want to get opportunities ? use your talents for God (it was him who blessed you with them after all) and watch how you will fly "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." Matthew 6:33

God bless you

My name is Esther


The meaning of Esther is star .The closest star to Earth is at least 25.2 trillion miles away, yet it is so bright you can still see it shining. The brightness of a star is not only seen in one place but witnessed by people all over the world. The stars ;instead of being consumed by the darkness of the sky , shine brighter in its presence.

Esther my namesake had a divine purpose, she was called for a set time, She was wise to prepare for that which was expected of her , She won favour with everyone that saw her , she was fair and beautiful , she obtained more grace and favour than the others and was made a queen . Esther was bold to fulfil her purpose and save her people  even if it meant that she would be sacrificing her own life.

My name is Esther , I am shining casting light into the darkness , my light shall shine all over the world , and shall be so evident that it is noticeable from afar. I am beautiful, graceful and favoured by all that I meet , a queen,I am well prepared ,I am called for such a time as this and I shall fulfil my purpose in this world and give up my own desires for the salvation of many.

Unremitting soul winning


unremitting soul winning


I have made the personal decision to never give up on a soul . Why should I think that it's OK to do this ? . The way I see it is this ; If I am in the process of trying to win a soul and it is seemingly difficult or impossible so I decide to give up on them its as if I am saying God's OK with giving up on them , that God no longer desires their soul . This is of course incorrect , it is Gods will that all shall be saved . So why would I think its fine for me to give up ? because they don't seem interested ? because Its difficult ? No. I am a representative of God in this world , his partner in soul winning , I need to do my job and do it to my full capability .


If I decide to give up because someone is unresponsive or defensive , its as if I'm saying that the deceiving spirit that is preventing them from receiving the word of God is more powerful than the Gospel of Jesus Christ . Its as if I've lost faith in the fact that the word works . Greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world .. so why would I retreat from the will of Christ within me because the one that's in the world is making it difficult ?.  I go out to soul-win not with the flesh but wearing my holy Ghost battle armour , I am not relying on my own ability but the ability of God who is able to do all things . To walk away from a soul considering them unable to be won is an underestimation of his power .

Now this is not to say that every single soul that I preach the Gospel to will without doubt be saved . Instead what I am saying is I will never be the one to back down . I will be persistent , unremitting  , I will continue to preach the gospel to them for as long as they allow it . If they want to give up on me and what I am saying then that is their choice , but I will not give up on them , I will not be the one to give up . My agenda is to not stop until Jesus has been confessed as their lord and saviour , it is for them to decide whether or not they leave before that point . Yes some people will not allow me to continue to the point that they will accept Christ but even if they leave I can honestly say to God that I pursued as far as I could with the knowledge that I have at least planted a seed in them which I can pray over and water.

For example one time I was on the bus and got talking to a Muslim woman , and I was preaching the gospel to her , I was about to tell her my testimony when it was time for me to get off the bus , I decided to stay on the bus and continue talking to her , by the time she had got off the bus , she hadn't given her life to Christ , but I had managed to finish my testimony , this which I considered a seed , I could then pray for her and declared that my testimony would stir up the desire in her to seek Jesus . I had missed my stop by miles and had to walk home but the fact was I couldn't miss my opportunity to witness to her because it wasn't convenient , I mean  who knows what impact my testimony made in her life ?

Yes some people may get uncomfortable , some even may be offended but I am not afraid to offend people if it is for Jesus and in accordance with his will. I keep in mind that no matter how they might not enjoy my persistence , I am trying to lead them to the greatest thing they could ever possess . I am recommending the victorious life in Christ , trying to lead them to salvation . Any discomfort they may get from my efforts now is nothing compared with  the discomfort that they could experience if no one successfully leads them to Christ . I mean what happens if I'm the only person that tried to preach to them and I gave up because they were a little rude to me ?.

All I'm saying is never write someone off as an unreachable soul , because each and every soul is precious to God , you might be their only way to hear the Gospel. God doesn't just seek easy to win souls he wants everybody , play your part and claim every soul for Jesus with your full capability .


And to anyone who I'm in the process of preaching the gospel to , accept the fact that I am not going to give up on you , because God will not give up on you , he loves you unconditionally and I'll do all it takes for you to know that .

Whose report will you believe?


Whose report will you believe? The way I see it , our lives in this world largely depend on our answer to this question . This question is often asked in relation to healing but I feel it applies to a wide range of situations . Ok let me elaborate , in relation to healing, do you believe the report of the doctor which talks of disease and infirmity or the Word which talks of divine health . Do you believe the news and financial forecasters which talk of lack, economic downfall and hard times ahead or do you believe your Father who has told you all your needs are met and that you will live in abundance ? , Do you believe what others say about you  or do you see yourself the way God sees you ? Do you believe the lying vanities that proclaim failure or do you believe that you were made for success  ? Do you submit to the intentions of the flesh or yield to the Holy Spirit ?  When  you have been praying about something do you believe it when you see there has been "no apparent change " or do you believe that you have received regardless of what it looks like ?



We live a life of Faith . Our life is supernatural , we cannot live this life without faith , because in the absence of faith the wonderful things our Father has prepared for us are filled with impossibility , they are incomprehensible . Fact is along the path of faith there are always going to be circumstances and people that try and convince you of that which is contrary to the Word of God, we just have to maintain our confession , not be moved and remain convicted by the Word and the Word alone .


Don't allow lying vanities to convict you into worry , but let the Word of God give you conviction which leads to the "Peace of God which transcends all understanding ".  If the Word of God is center of your convictions you will live life free from worry and walk in success and victory . If you find yourself feeling worried or anxious that means that something of the world has convicted you , whether it be your bank balance , those persisting symptoms or that friend that is always telling you "you need to be realistic" not realizing that we live in the true reality .Refuse to acknowledge anything that doesn't mirror Word of God , If you feel worried, correct your convictions with the Word and receive peace.


What you see around you , what you feel , what people think of you , even what you think of yourself  is irrelevant if it doesn't match up to the infallible Word of God . Do not put any report above that of the Father because there is no knowledge or power greater than He .


Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will. (Romans 12:2 )


So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. (2 Corinthians 4:18)


"Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him" Proverbs 30:5


If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.  Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God (1 John 3 :20-21)


God bless you
