KEEP GOING FORWARD

-
Exodus 14:15 And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: As we continue our journey through this world, time and again we face challenges that slow us down. Situations do arise that make us suddenly pause and sometimes it could seem so overwhelming that we feel all would come to an end. It is very important to know when to slow down, take a rest and move again. How do we know these? As believers the Spirit helps us. However, we are limited by how much we study, wait and listen. For the believer we should understand that we are not on our own, the Lord is with us. Psalm 46:1-3 God [is] our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; [Though] the waters thereof roar [and] be troubled, [though] the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. So we must learn how to lean on God. The c...

BE LIKE-MINDED

-
Philippians 2:2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, [being] of one accord, of one mind. Like mindedness is one thing missing in most church gatherings. We as a church were made to be in one accord, having one mind, one purpose of one Father, of one Spirit. That was how the church was created: Act 1:14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. Act 4:32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any [of them] that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. Has this been the case? We live in times where brethren cannot fully trust one another, where pastors and leaders have to cajole to get members to give. Where everyone seems to have his or her own mind separate from the purpose of the kingdom. Many carry experiences of how they have trusted and have been betrayed. This is not the churc...

DOES GOD HAVE YOUR SPACE?

-
John 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. The Father revealed His Son, His Word the fullness of the Godhead. He should be the one to have my attention and not the enemy. Ephesians 1:17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, Matthew 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. The enemy had no idea what the purpose of Christ was, though the demons knew His glory, they had no idea what God's agenda was. Yes he does not know everything. Mark 3:11 And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God. 1Corinthians 2:8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known [it], they would not have c...

Psalm 48:1 Great [is] the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, [in] the mountain of his holiness. We cannot cease to sing praises and give thanks to our Heavenly Father. Psalm 95:3&6 For the LORD [is] a great God, and a great King above all gods. O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker. One could feel comfortable worrying over what seems to be, what is not and what is uncertain. However it is wisdom to remember who our God is, the splendour of His majesty and glory of His power. All the earth must honour and fear Him for even he who we call the evil one, fears him and is careful not to cross His path or feel the surge of His power. Psalm 104:1, 96:9 Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth. We should use our mouth to worship, yes our heart should continually think on His wonderful works an...

a PANEGYRIC to our God.

-
Psalm 8:1 O LORD, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth, You who set Your glory above the heavens! He had all things glorious yet He sought a place beneath Him which He made alive and habitable and formed a creation in His nature to cater for it, an extension of His heaven. Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Understand that God was outside of time and space for He created time and space and put us into it! He made man become a living being with the power to choose, then gave him dominion and made him know all things, even that which will keep him alive forever and that which could bring him death. Yet even when man took the wrong step and had to be sent out of his comfort zone, You never ceased to care for man, you still sought that man would be redeemed. Ezekiel 18:23 "Do I have any pleasure at all that the wicked should die?" says the Lord God, "and not that he should turn from his ways and live? He sacrificed His joy, H...

avoid DISTRACTIONS

-
Ephesians 5:15-17 So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days. Don’t act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do. Distractions, they are those things that take a person's mind away from the original goal, the main purpose and keeps them stagnant at a point, regressing or pushes them towards a different direction. Hebrews 12:13 and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed. One thing we must never forget is that the Lord did not tell us that the way will be broad and easy to journey, no, He actually said the contrary: Luke 13:24 “Work hard to enter the narrow door to God’s Kingdom, for many will try to enter but will fail. Mark 4:18-19 The seed that fell among the thorns represents others who hear God’s word, but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the worries of this life, the lure of wealth, and the desire...

YOU HAVE TO LET IT GO

-
1Thessalonians 5:23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Proverbs 20:17 Bread gained by deceit is sweet to a man, but afterward his mouth will be filled with gravel. Some gatherings of believers have been accused of not preaching against sin. They say that these ones have not been shouting about hell, oh hell, how hot it is, the pain, the despair and the anguish. My answer most times is, "One should know more about His home, and where He is headed". And for sure that is what Christ the Messiah talked about. However let us talk about sin. Sin is every act of lawlessness. 1John 3:4 Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. This is what God told Cain: Genesis 4:7 You will be accepted if you do what is right. But if you refuse to do what is right, then watch out! Sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you. But you must s...
