Glory (a reminder)

2Chronicles 20:6
and said: "O LORD God of our fathers, are You not God in heaven, and do You not rule over all the kingdoms of the nations, and in Your hand is there not power and might, so that no one is able to withstand You?

One thing is certain, that in all that man has done and will do, the focus will be on the Alpha and the Omega.

Be they believers, non-believers and even atheists it is all around the fact that it all begins with and ends with God.

The reference point is always God, that He is , or He is not. That He wants it this way or He wants it that way. That there is only one way or that there are many ways.

No matter the stand it all circles around God.

For those who have not believed, they will eventually believe, but at what time they finally do, will thus determine if we should rejoice over them or cry for them. If it is on this earth, that is in their lifetime, then we can rejoice, but if it is after here then it is tragic.

Daniel 4:17
 'This decision is by the decree of the watchers, and the sentence by the word of the holy ones, in order that the living may know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, gives it to whomever He will, and sets over it the lowest of men.

The Babylonian king kept being stubborn and resisted God till he had to suffer like an animal for seven years, before he with his own mouth, declared God.

His son or successor did not have that privilege. He was too busy decorating the interpreter to the writting on the wall that the fulfilment of the prophesy caught him unawares.

Daniel 5:30
That very night Belshazzar, king of the Chaldeans, was slain.

When we boast of many things and hold so many things in pride, we should not forget that when death do come, every of our pride and love for the world vanishes away and the reality of things come to us.

As wise people of God we don't wait for the end, we live each day making the most of it. Showing love which is the nature of God and giving Him honour. We glory because He permits us to, we prosper because He wills us to. We face challenges because it is necessary that we do. In all God must be glorified. It is all about Him.

We matter because He created us and made us in His image and for His pleasure.

No matter how far we go, no matter the mistakes, the exploits or the expectations. Let us give Him the glory.

As simple at it may seem God yet will not share His Glory with any man.

Psa 113:4
The LORD [is] high above all nations, [and] his glory above the heavens.

Glory to God.

Do have a peaceful week.

God bless you.

Love


@ the watcher.

DO YOU STILL SEE?

Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
