THINGS FALL APART

-
1Samuel 30:6
And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.

A person's strength is known not in the time of peace and quiet but in the time of storms, trials and temptations.

Proverbs 24:10
[If] thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength [is] small.

Yes, for the proof of strength is tested against strong scenarios not against weak things.

*  You claim to be honest and prudent, have you handled money or wealth and resisted the temptation to steal or mismanage it?

* You claim to be free from sexual immorality, have you been tempted, then you resisted and fled.

* You claim to be humble, have you been entrusted with leadership and you resisted pride to ensure you served faithfully?

* You claim to love, what is your sacrifices, where are your testimonies?

* You claim to be called of God, what fruits do you bear, what do people say of you?

* You who criticize others, pastors, ministers, leaders, parents etc, HAVE YOU DONE BETTER?

Romans 2:1
 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

So are you building towards collapse or building towards sustainability?

1 Corinthians 3:13
Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

Remember that your actions today can pull you down tomorrow.

NO ONE CRUMBLES IN A DAY!

Take care of those errors today, purify that character.

Let your ministry be about God and not MONEY, FAME, PEOPLE OR SELF!

Lead your children alright, take nothing for granted for surely there is a time you will no longer have control over them.

Have a good testimony of all men, be consistent.

In all, when things fall apart it will not be your undoing but a test of your strength, you will be vindicated and the Lord will take the glory.

1Peter 5:10
But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle [you].

You will then rise up stronger and better.

We declare that those of us who truly seek the Lord will not miss it.

We will remain true to the end.

Things may fall apart but we will remain strong.

It is well with us.

He calls us 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
