Is there what you must do?

Acts Chapter nine is one of the many chapters of the Bible that we all started studying as far back as Primary school days. However, I had an encounter with it again recently.


In verse six (6) of Acts 9, after Jesus had appeared to Saul on his way to Damascus, his first question was “Lord, what do You want me to do?” I would have thought that it was too early in their meeting to start asking what he should do.
More surprising, is the response of our Lord Jesus to Saul- “Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you MUST do”. I think that even before Saul became converted, he knew how much it is that the Lord desires our service. It could be the reason he didn’t first ask anything other than ‘show me my duty-post’.


I'd like you to ponder a little on this phrase- ‘…you will be told what you MUST do’. Is it possible that there is something that we all MUST do for the Lord? Did the Lord say that to Saul as a punishment for all the terror he had unleashed on the Church? Could it be that He is asking more from us than being caught up in this vicious circle of earning more, spending more, being celebrated, etc.?
The phrase ‘must do’ is the big catch here. It is certain that we are all doing something, but the question is, are we doing what we MUST do or what we like to do?


Please pray that the Lord will give you the courage to ask like Saul, - “Lord, what do You want me to do" and that He will graciously respond to you, and send you your Ananias.

Make a move!

The phrase 'Make a move', happens to be the title of one of my favourite Nigerian movies. For the first time in a long while, I had to watch our movie from the edge of my seat. Ivie Okujaye killed it, especially considering the fact that she’s relatively new in the industry. Well, professional movie critics think otherwise, but that's fine. They can keep their opinions.😏
‘Make a move’, apart from being one of my favourite movie titles, always leaves a pulsating tinge on me.

Yeah, that teaser is just so you know I watch movies too😅😅. Have you noticed that a lot of us Christians are full of excuses? There’s always a reason why we are not doing exploits, breaking new grounds in our respective fields, blazing a trail...reaching our dreams! The most pathetic part is when some of us begin to accuse other successful people of having joined occults, washed their faces at Ugwu-di-nso (holy hill), waterside etc.

I had a fresh encounter with 2 King 7 again recently. Prophet Elisha had just given an unfathomable prophesy about the restoration of Samaria. The ravaged (by famine) city of Samaria was going to receive such turn around that a man said, "Look, if the Lord would make windows in heaven, could this thing be?” 2 King 7:2 NKJV

That’s how powerful the prophesy was, yet it needed a MOVE to bring it to accomplishment. The four lepers at the gate decided to take their chances, and made the move that would turn around their lives and the lives of everyone else in that city. It was sound from the feeble steps of four sick men who were afraid for their own lives that God amplified to the howling noise of a great army.

For the Lord had caused the army of the Syrians to hear the noise of chariots and the noise of horses—the noise of a great army; so they said to one another, “Look, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites and the kings of the Egyptians to attack us!” 2 Kings 7:6 NKJV

There are prophecies that are waiting for us to move; waiting for us to activate them by stepping out in faith. There are mountains that we have been ‘called' to conquer.
You never know how much God will magnify your small steps until you step out.

Go...! Make a move!
