GOD WILL NOT PEEL YOUR COCONUT FOR YOU

I remember that day vividly. I had been muttering to the Lord to use me and bless my world. As I did my chores, I continued to desire that of the Lord. Start from where you are, I heard from my spirit. What does that mean? I got quiet and listened and sure enough, I got it. I was being led to start posting inspiring thoughts on face book. I picked my phone and posted this – GOD GIVES US COCONUTS BUT DOES NOT PEEL THEM FOR US….

To eat the coconuts or bananas that the Lord has created, we have to do the peeling ourselves. As loving as our heavenly father is, if we begin to wait for Him to peel our fruits for us, we will wait for a long time.

In the same way, by His death on the Cross of Calvary,  the Lord Jesus has connected us to the Covenant blessings of Abraham. This Covenant ushers us into the realms of wealth. To access this wealth however, we must peel our coconut. How? To Moses, the Lord asked what is in your hand and to the widow woman of 2Kings 4, prophet Elisha asked what do you have in the house? That widow was later asked to go and sell her miracle oil.

The Word is a lamp to my feet, I heard that woman of God say. That Word tells me that there is that scatters and increases. Therefore, this oil must go to as many outlets as possible.

The blessing of the Word of God is in its application. I saw sister Mope’s excellent book for young children titled KUBI THE LION PRINCE in Jumia last night. She tells me that she is running with an insight she gleaned from one of my books titled HOW TO FLOURISH IN SEASONS OF RECESSION. In that book, I had said that the world celebrates bestsellers and not best writers.

What do you have in your hand? What do you have in your house? How are you trying to create a vent for the wealth of Calvary to flow to you? Remember, God will not peel your coconut for you.
