CLEARING THE ROOM

-
Matthew 9:24-25
“Get out!” he told them. “The girl isn’t dead; she’s only asleep.” But the crowd laughed at him.
After the crowd was put outside, however, Jesus went in and took the girl by the hand, and she stood up!

There are times we need to clear the room of all the negative that faith may thrive. It is not that the occupants are really evil but due to ignorance or carnality they just can't see from the perspective of the Spirit. They thus become a hindrance to the manifestation of the divine. So can be the human mind, at this times - WE CLEAR THE ROOM!

The atmosphere at Jairus' house was already that of a funeral, the songs were being played thus everyone's heart was set on the fact that the girl was dead. If you were in that place most likely you would have had the same mindset. However the giver of life was around.

We live in times when it seems that God is silent. Is He? No. The issue has always been that we do not listen. We are too conscious of the world and its issues that we do not hear when He speaks. The so called, or self proclaimed prophets are prophesying over irrelevant and mundane things making a mockery of the divine and fooling those who allow themselves to be gullible. Wake Up:

Psalms 62:11
God has spoken plainly, and I have heard it many times:
Power, O God, belongs to you;

Do we really want to hear what God is saying? If it is not about earthly prosperity these generation would not accept it as "what the Lord is saying", the minds of many who say they believe contradict faith itself. Are we beclouded?

Would Christ have also asked you(me) to leave the room at that time?

A chinese proverb says that a full cup ought to be emptied before we can bring in new substance into it. What are we full of - doubt or faith? Are we really led by the Spirit, or by feelings, our environment or even our appetite? The love of earthy things has beclouded the mind of most of us. Hmm.

There are times we need to clear the room that the Heavenly Father can manifest through us. Spiritual retreats have been turned to other strange things in our time. Really many have missed it. However, we can still get it right. The Lord still directs.

The Lord will help us:

Philemon 1:25
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

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
