DON'T STAY THERE

-
Yes you almost fell, or you actually did fall. Please don't stay there. There is a difference between falling into water and drowning.

As the man of wisdom prophesied:

Proverbs 24:16a
 For a just [man] falleth seven times, and riseth up again

This you can achieve when your maker and author is the Heavenly Father himself. When He is the one you are bothered about, your victory is already sure.

Contrast King Saul and King David, they had their fault(s):

Saul:
1Samuel 15:24
And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.

And:

1Samuel 15:30
Then he said, I have sinned: [yet] honour me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD thy God.

He seemed to cherish his status or prestige among the elders and people more than His submission to God. This has destroyed many leaders and made then no longer divine but earthy. Selah

David:

2Samuel 12:13
And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.

2Samuel 12:16
David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth.

And when he suffered the repercussion of his action:

2Samuel 16:12
 It may be that the LORD will look on mine affliction, and that the LORD will requite me good for his cursing this day.

Yes they both erred but we see where the heart of each one was.

Who matters to us today, the people or God, the Heavenly Father? The evidence will reveal itself.

Who accuses you, who condemns you, who says you can not be clean again and that you would remain in the place and state you have fallen?Definitely not the Lord.

Ephesians 5:14
Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

Let no man put you down, God has the final say:

Romans 14:4
Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.

Everyone gets dirty but it is the swine that remains in the dirt!

Get out of the dirt, don't drown in the water.

Just as Paul did to the beast that crawled out on him in Acts 28:1-6.

SHAKE OFF THE BEAST INTO THE FIRE.

Then the god in you will be revealed.

Acts 28:5-6
And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.

 Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.

We have been given victory.

We are blessed.

Love

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
