IS THE LAW VOID?

-
Romans 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law. Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. We must not forget the simple truth. The law reigned till John the baptist was revealed. Then a new covenant was revealed: Matthew 3:7-12 But when he saw many Pharisees and Sadducees coming to watch him baptize, he denounced them. “You brood of snakes!” he exclaimed. “Who warned you to flee God’s coming wrath? Prove by the way you live that you have repented of your sins and turned to God. Don’t just say to each other, ‘We’re safe, for we are descendants of Abraham.’ That means nothing, for I tell you, God can create children of Abraham from these very stones. Even now the ax of God’s judgment is poised, ready to sever the roots of the trees. Yes, every tree that does not produce good fruit will be chopped down and thrown into the fire. “I baptize with water those who repent of ...

DON'T STAY AWAY

-
Exodus 33:15 And he said unto him, If thy presence go not [with me], carry us not up hence. Where the word of God is, His presence is. Hebrews 5:11 of whom we have much to say, and hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing. There may be days we do not feel like dwelling in the word of God or do not feel relaxed enough to meditate on it. It could be that we are exhausted, occupied or just not in the mood. Staying long enough in that withdrawal or denial is dangerous, for eventually it becomes normal and we do not feel uncomfortable if a day passes and we have not heard from God. I love this lyrics from Jeremy Camp's song titled "slow fade"  ["It is a slow fade, when you give yourself away  A slow fade when black and white turns to gray  Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid  When you give yourself away  People never crumble in a day] The urge to hear from God fades away as we go day by day without hearing from Him. Though we may hav...

ARE YOU A JUDGE?

-
Romans 2:1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. Many rush to take the seat of the judge over matters they either have no idea about or have no moral standing to judge. Take for instance the Scribes and Pharisees: John 8:7, 9, 10-11 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. And they which heard [it], being convicted by [their own] conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, [even] unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?  She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. They would have been so pissed of...

AN ECLIPSE

-
Ecclesiastics 3:1 To every [thing there is] a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: An eclipse occurs when there is an obstruction to the full reflection of the sun. Partial or full darkness is experienced. We can relate this to our real life experiences. In life we have times of eclipse, it is expected, though sometimes it comes and our reaction escalates it beyond its real magnitude depending on how we face it. James 1:12 Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been proved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. We may feel as if the Lord is not with us. We may ask, where is God at this time? Hebrews 13:5b for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. Do you feel unholy, unworthy that you have not lived up to God's standard this past season? Are there goals you have set, plans you have made and all seems to have failed? Are there requests you have been making to God this past season an...

ALWAYS GIVE THANKS

-
Psalm 116:12 What shall I render unto the LORD [for] all his benefits toward me? 1Thessalonians 5:18 "in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." No better prayer than giving thanks, when you give thanks for what He has done be sure that He will do more. We do good to keep taking stock of what the Lord does for us, we shouldn't allow the enemy to load our minds only with what we wait for. How glorious it will be if all believers were "Thanksgivers" our lives will definitely be faultless. Prayer should not be asking, asking and asking like the relationship with a baby. With God all things are already done. We just align to what is done. Even in asking when you feel so anxious the bible says do it with thanksgiving. Philippians 4:6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; Before anything else give thanks to God for giving you life and for gi...

WHY?

-
 1Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; I have heard many times this phrase "Do not question God", I really do not understand what concept it initiates from. Most likely when someone is bereaved and is in grief, it is believed that one shouldn't ask "why" the person had to leave at that time. One thing although is not argued. "We can question ourselves". Most people who break forth and make an impact in life, most likely initiated their break forth from the "WHY" One of the most important questions one can ask is "Why am I here?" Exodus 9:16 "But indeed for this purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth. Romans 9:17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "Even for this same purpose I have raised yo...

RELEASING POWER

-
Romans 1:11 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established; Age long practice has been to pass down blessings through the family line. All good parents continue this practice. I believe the genesis of this is seen in the book of Genesis: Genesis 1:28b And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: Genesis 49:28 All these [are] the twelve tribes of Israel: and this [is it] that their father spake unto them, and blessed them; every one according to his blessing he blessed them. In these times when people are carried away by the flesh and earthly wealth, we cannot afford to neglect the release of power by the hand of Father's, Elders and most importantly the Presbyterian: 1 Timothy 4:14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. God does not ignore this grace, not even in these times. ...
