LEAVE GOD'S OWN ALONE

-
Genesis 31:24
But the previous night God had appeared to Laban the Aramean in a dream and told him, “I’m warning you—leave Jacob alone!”

Persecution of those who serve(find favour of) the Lord has always been from the beginning, for we read that Cain hated his brother because his brother found favour of the Lord. The enemy deceived the first family because he was envious of God's attention to man. Joseph was betrayed because his brother envied the attention he got and the bright future he prophesied. Other leaders in Babylon plotted against Daniel because of the favour and grace he carried.

The Jewish leaders plotted against Jesus for the envied the attention He got, it seemed he had displaced them from their cherished high thrones.

Matthew 27:18
(He knew very well that the religious leaders had arrested Jesus out of envy.)

They also persecuted the Apostles because of envy!

Acts 13:45
But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.

LEAVE GOD'S OWN ALONE!

Yes, we have so many false prophets all over the place, some have taken over the air waves through television especially cable in the name of "the Lord". Yes multitude of them are false.

However we talk of those who are of God who are among us that we want to take advantage of, because of their simple and humble nature. Some would want to mock, some would want to get them into trouble. It has been an age long foolishness, for it was the men that went to throw Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego into the furnace that got burnt. In the same vain, it was those who plotted and got Daniel thrown into the lion's den that eventually got devoured by the lions.

Leave God's own alone.

For while some favour them and get blessed, others attack them and get consumed.

For the favoured of the Lord does not mean those who carry religious titles, or claim spiritual powers or authorities. Not those who have already exalted themselves. NO! It is those whose heart are of the Lord, who serve the Lord sincerely.

Is your heart with the Lord, or has something else taken His place?

It is time to realign, He who promised is faithful.

Hebrews 10:23
Let us hold fast the profession of [our] faith without wavering; (for he [is] faithful that promised;)

All the glory to the Heavenly Father, for He keeps His own and woe to them who come against His own. Halleluyah.

He calls us 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
