WE STILL THIRST FOR HIM

Psalms 42:2 I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him? One of the greatest desires of a child is to always be with their parents, however when that child gets to a certain age of demi- adulthood, that feeling of self sufficiency sets in, some even rebel especially if they have been closely guarded from fully expressing themselves. One other reason for the drawing away from parental guidance is the desire to explore. Peer pressure, virtual contacts and even fictions from books, media and hearsay. The same way man full of enthusiasm at the new birth could  begin to withdraw from the first love when other things present themselves. "We are not taken away the moment we are saved for we must live the life we are called to, the life of a believer" . . . ikthewat here  We must remember that: 1 Corinthians 8:6 yet for us there is only one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and thr...

just SMILE

Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! This may be difficult when you are too conscious of people's attitude or response. When you look at the problems around, targets unmet, family responsibilities, spiritual inadequacies, disappointments and that which you hoped will be but is yet to happen Take time out and remember 1. You are alive 2. You can eat and drink 3. You have enough strength to worry 4. God still loves you So my friend just smile: because it is WELL. You are better than many, you will still look at your worries and wonder why you even bothered to worry. Rejoice, give God praise. SMILE MY FRIEND, SMILE. Laugh for you already have victory. (Remember that in your time of rejoicing, you should be a comfort to one who is down.) Philippians 4:4 Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! Rejoice. For you are victorious. Love @the watcher

do you BREATHE?

Job 21:34 How then can you comfort me with empty words, since falsehood remains in your answers?" Many have allowed themselves to get choked just to please people. They heap a lot of people around themselves feeling that the crowd will bring them comfort, a sense of security or power. In the long run they could choke their breath. (Yet we canNOT do without one another) Breathe! Relationship becomes toxic when a party refuses to give breathing space to the other. This leads to choking. We must remember that everyone is dynamic in themselves and does have their own expression. Why should one hold another in bondage? 1 Corinthians 13:4-5 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. We must know what type of love we feel or offer, if the other is choked or has no expression then something is wrong. Glory to God the love He has for us is not to choke us instead t...

CLEAN THE RECORD BOOK

Jeremiah 31:34 "No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them," says the LORD. "For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more." Yesterday we talked on our records, we understand that the record kept of us as we journey through this world is important for our eternity. However, we have obtained grace and mercy which has impacted our records. Glory. Hebrews 10:17 then He adds, "Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more." What records do you keep? For it could be good or bad. Well our Heavenly Father keeps records and we do too. We cannot over emphasize the sacrifice of Christ paid to give us a clean record. I teach and say that after the salvation message, what else is left to be taught? The answer is "The Father" we go further to learn of Him that we may be more like Him, d...

THE BOOK OF RECORDS

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 ...

AS YOU GO THIS WEEK

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, ...

LISTEN ABOVE THE NOISE

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...
