BURIED IN A RICH MAN'S GRAVE

-

 Matthew 27:59-60

Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a long sheet of clean linen cloth.

He placed it in his own new tomb, which had been carved out of the rock. Then he rolled a great stone across the entrance and left.


There was tears and sorrow He had died. How painful these exists are, I should know my father just left the scene. 


Christ was rejected by all, the entirety of His followers either fled or stayed cowed through the suffering because of the intimidation of His oppressors.


Many forgot all the good He did for them Acts 10:38. The healings, the miraculous feeding, resurrection from the dead, deliverance from demons and the pure teaching of the word. Some foolishly joined the mockery. 


All left except extremely few including the Marys who prepared His body. He was abandoned yet He was finally buried in a rich man's tomb. It was divinely planned. 


In all, God’s will must be done. No matter how the opposition takes us round circles, it is just for a season, that good which the Lord has planned for us, He will bring to pass. Glory to God. 


Psalms 138:8a

The Lord will work out his plans for my life— for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever. 


Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you,” says the lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.


Don’t let delays being you down, instead make the most of it. 


Habakkuk 2:3

This vision is for a future time. 

It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled. 

If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. 

It will not be delayed.


We must digest this, that His plans are for our good, it doesn't matter what the enemies plot, His plot is much higher and so unreachable. 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
