Ester 6:1 That night the king could not sleep. So one was commanded to bring the book of the records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king. This is an example of a good record. We could not be sentimental about it, there are good and bad records. For even with the Heavenly Father both records exist. People will begin to live in wisdom when they understand that they will give an account. From our text from the book of Esther the book that recorded Mordecai's good deeds had the record of two of the king's eunuchs, Bigthan and Teresh, ( his  doorkeepers') they had a record of evil deeds. (Bad Record) What records do we have with the heavenly? Israel had a bad record thus they were prevented from building the wall in the time of Ezra. Ezra 4:1&15 Now when the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the descendants of the captivity were building the temple of the LORD God of Israel, that search may be made in the book of the records of your fathers. And ...

Proverbs 3:5 (BBE) Put all your hope in God, not looking to your reason for support. When the storms come rushing, know that He is there for you, don't give up, the victory isn't far. That storm will be a story for you tomorrow. Know that there are two things: it either works out how you want, or how you don't want it, but in all . . .. we are more than conquerors. Luke 12:22 And he said to his disciples, For this reason I say to you, Take no thought for your life, about what food you will take, or for your body, how it may be clothed. Life and its irony. You search for it so much and get frustrated when it doesn't come. Then it comes! You wonder why you troubled yourself so much for it. Most times when you search too hard for it, you don't get it. It may always have been there! Mark 11:24 For this reason I say to you, Whatever you make a request for in prayer, have faith that it has been given to you, and you will have it. Don't let the pressures take you out, ...

We should be reminded that we live in a world that could be so noisy.  A lot of sounds coming in from every corner. The noise could even be from within us: 1Samuel 15:16 Then Samuel said to Saul, "Be quiet! And I will tell you what the LORD said to me last night." And he said to him, "Speak on." For us to live in faith we should hear the voice of the Lord above all the noise. Psalms 62:11 God has spoken once, Twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God. Jesus said His own will hear Him and thus they would follow Him, they would not follow another. John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: So many things seek our attention they could seem to be * very important * not that important * a mere distraction However we must let God's Spirit direct us. As we go about our duties and roles,  it is important to listen to the Father and He speaks to us through His Holy Spirit. No wonder the character of the Holy Spirit is patience. We mu...

Psalms 72:18  Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, Who only does wondrous things! We need favours again and again, no one can be by him or her self. We will always need the help and support of one another. Some may take advantage of it, while others will lend the helping hand asking nothing in return understanding that they also would have needs. 1John 3:17 But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him? However there are things that others cannot do for us, things that only God Himself can intervene to bring it to pass or to save us from. In those kinds of situations, we don't have to worry anymore, yes, the  inconveniences of man's short falls have no play here. The Father asks nothing in return He gives and does not hold back. He is God.  Acts 17:25 "Nor is He worshiped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things...

Psalm 113:4 The LORD is high above all nations, And His glory above the heavens. This morning let us turn our focus to all the Lord has done for us. There is a need to reflect on all our days to see His mighty hand delivering us again and again. Worries would always want to arise, for each day could bring one challenge or the other but know this that the Lord has already given you victory. Glory. Psalm 77:11 I will remember the works of the LORD; Surely I will remember Your wonders of old. The people of Israel had the bad attitude of forgetting God's deliverance and blessings to focus on an immediate challenge or threat. Even when all is well and there is peace they become adulterous flirting with other gods. No wonder why they are destroyed. We cannot err like they did. We have experienced Christ so we know and we win. As a human, you get irritated by people who do not know how to appreciate but are complainers. So, understand that appreciation is a must for us believers, we are g...

John 13:37 Peter said to Him, "Lord, why can I not follow You now? I will lay down my life for Your sake." Especially at the instance of the new birth, many are enthusiastic, filled with so much zeal and willingness to serve, however through a period of time that zeal is not that strong any more. Few are found who are still vibrant, wholly committed and ready to lay down their life. What happened? They faced the reality, the temptations and the test in our present world. * How many can truly leave father, mother, children, friends, family and follow? * How many can do without self esteem and prestige? * How many can say NO to mammon? * How many have truly killed the flesh and all its lust? * How many have studied to show themselves approved, that they would not be easily turned left or right. * How many are humble enough to correct their errors and make amends even if they have erred in their earlier teachings and lifestyle? * How many can submit totally to the Holy Spirit? ....
