REMEMBER THE BRETHREN

Psalms 120:7, 6 and 121:1
I [am for] peace: but when I speak, they [are] for war.
 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

While some of us gather in air-conditioned spaces and complain of little discomforts in our places of worship, some in certain places gather in fear not knowing when the next physical attack will occur. Some do not have as much as a roof to cover their place of gathering.

We need to bring these troubled ones in prayer time and again.

That we have peace and liberty of worship is no license to get carried away with showmanship, puffed up sermons, unspiritual aesthetics and chase after material things.

Do you dwell in prayer consistently, are you deep in study and meditation of the word, are you full of the Spirit. Do you do the good work. Are you a good example? What is your sacrifice? What is your testimony?

Remember we run the same race, why should we be rewarded? Selah

Can we say like Paul:

Romans 1:9
For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;

Ephesians 6:18
 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

Before you let out that complain again, remember that you are more favoured than many.

Rejoice in the liberty you have to worship God without restrain, intercede and support those brethren who face great persecution. In all don't get carried away, you have the liberty for a purpose. Walk and work the christian walk. Selah

YOUR GLORY IS NOT HOW MUCH YOU RECEIVED, BUT HOW MANY LIVES YOU HAVE BLESSED WITH WHAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED. Selah

Don't be a container, be a channel.

We are blessed.

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
