GLORY TO THE FATHER

Psalm 66:2 Sing out the honor of His name; Make His praise glorious. Why would I not give glory to God? As people come into this world and leave again and again, each comes with a story and yet leaves with another. In all, the most important part of man's existence is acknowledging the author of life Himself. The One who made all things and brings life to them. Isaiah 45:18 For thus says the LORD, Who created the heavens, Who is God, Who formed the earth and made it, Who has established it, Who did not create it in vain, Who formed it to be inhabited: "I am the LORD, and there is no other. All the prophets of old echoed the power of God to a people who were sustained by Him yet they did not acknowledge Him. Acts 17:28 "for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, 'For we are also His offspring.' However when Christ was revealed the person of God was experienced among men. A show that God was not far away anymore, that H...

HOW CAN I FORGET GOD?

Psalms 63:6&7 When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches. Because You have been my help, Therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice. Each new day, week, month, year or season brings its own atmosphere. It could be for a rejoicing, a challenge or at first it could seem uncertain. The Psalm this morning talks of being so conscious of God's presence that it overshadows all. DO YOU REMEMBER HIM? Some would ask, how can I forget God? Well when your denomination, your pope, bishops, general overseers, priests, pastors, prophets, job, business, friends, entertainment, fears, worries etc have taken the place of God in your life, listen brethren, you have forgotten God! This is what He said: Isaiah 42:8 “I am the Lord; that is my name! I will not give my glory to anyone else, nor share my praise with carved idols. Never forget Who He is What He has done What He can do What He will do For He remains the God Almighty. Instead of filling up ourselves wi...

MERCY

Genesis 39:21 But the LORD was with Joseph and showed him mercy, and He gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison. There is no way we pass through this life without facing challenges and difficulties. Even Christ echoed it. John 16:33 "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." Unless you have faced these situations you may remain theoretical about it. For it is easier to go comfort one facing an issue than to be comforted when one faces the situation. Truly some situations may even be so harsh that one would prefer to leave the world. However the Lord desires that we live out our time here on earth and to live it well. Glory to God that we are not left on our own. We are taken care of: Hebrews 4:15-16 This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. So let us come boldly to the thro...

DON'T FALL FOR IT

Romans 1:28 Since they thought it foolish to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their foolish thinking and let them do things that should never be done.  . There a big move now of some trying so hard to draw people away from Christ, these people thinking that they are the smart ones who have been liberated, talk against the bible. They demonize the old testament and call the new testament false. The whole idea is that they are free from religion and all its vices. However, this is where the err! Our salvation is not a religion. Yes religions are man-made, God has no religion. However salvation is God made, His plan of the redemption of man fulfilled. We must understand that the whole plan of the enemy is to take us away from God. 1Thessalonians 3:5 For this reason, when I could no longer endure it, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor might be in vain. Do we remember this conversation: Job 1:7,12 “Where have you come from?” the...

Our Body

Romans 8:11 The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you. The power of resurrection, God's Holy Spirit, dwells in you if you have the new birth. He quickens our mortal bodies and thus makes us live as we should. That is living to please the Heavenly Father. However we cannot do this without knowledge. 2 Peter 1:4 And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires. The difference is made by knowledge: 2 Peter 1:5 In view of all this, make every effort to respond to God’s promises. Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge, This knowledge is the knowledge of God, the more you learn of God by His Spirit, the more you bec...

HE CONQUERED, SO WE CONQUER!

Ephesians 4:8-9 That is why the Scriptures say, “When he ascended to the heights, he led a crowd of captives and gave gifts to his people.” Notice that it says “he ascended.” This clearly means that Christ also descended to our lowly world. What did Christ do for us, He came, He died and He rose from the dead. So what happened when Christ died? 1 Peter 3:19-20 So he went and preached to the spirits in prison— those who disobeyed God long ago when God waited patiently while Noah was building his boat. Only eight people were saved from drowning in that terrible flood. How did He do this? He had to bind the strong man of the house. Mark 3:27 "No one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man, and then he will plunder his house. Selah To set captives free: It was a battle that made Him declare when He arose: Matthew 28:18 Then Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. We mu...

ALL IS WELL

1Thessalonians 5:18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. The world we live in, is full ups and downs. We have goals, dreams and responsibilities, sometimes it could seem so overwhelming. To focus so hard on some issues could bring us down and affect us negatively. No matter what it is, Christ has taken care of it, we just enter into it. What do scriptures say? 1 Peter 5:7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. This we find difficult to do sometimes, we want to be part of the solution. It becomes an issue when we are not careful enough to listen to instructions. Our attitude should be that of thanksgiving, after we have cast our burden on Christ. In our patience we hear His instructions and see clearly to know what part to follow. For that which is most important for us here is life and good health, once He grants us these, the others He will yet do. Praise His Holy Name. So get out of that depressive thought, let go of the decis...
