OUR TRUST IS IN GOD

-

1 Thessalonians 5:23-24

Now may the God of peace make you holy in every way, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again.

God will make this happen, for he who calls you is faithful.


In all, our trust is in the Lord God, for He gives us salvation. Our holiness is not by our strength but our trusting in Him. For He says, come!


From the time of old, the Lord has beckoned on man, for truly we can do nothing without Him:


In Genesis He said: 

Gensis 3:9 

And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where [art] thou?


Yes man was made in God's image and with the power of choice, however, man was ever to be dependent on His creator, for in Him was life.


Gensis 2:7 

And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.


Man remains dependent on his maker. Thus David said:


Psalm 14:1a

The fool hath said in his heart, [There is] no God. 


So man was never made to be out of His source, thus scriptures says:


Proverbs 20:27 

The spirit of man [is] the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.


So when man was lost and doomed because he lost communion with God, God Himself in Christ Jesus came to redeem man.


God called:


Isaiah 1:18 

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.


Man cannot do without God.


Thus man being redeemed still abides to be able to bear fruit:


John 15:4 

Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.


This is why we pray, for we trust in the Lord. Never take prayers for granted, thus Paul et al, asks the church to pray for them:


1 Thessalonians 5:25

Dear brothers and sisters, pray for us.


The Lord also helps us to love one another, for He Himself is love. Halleluyah.


1 Thessalonians 5:26

Greet all the brothers and sisters with a sacred kiss.


This truth is so important and must be taught everywhere:


1 Thessalonians 5:27

I command you in the name of the Lord to read this letter to all the brothers and sisters.


Our trust is in the Lord.


The fall of man then and the fall of many today is as a result of not trusting in the Lord. His grace is released today to all those who will turn to Him.


Thank You Lord.


1 Thessalonians 5:28

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.


Glory to God.


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
