GOD IS MY "EVERYTHING"

-

Psalm 16:2

I say to the Lord, You are my Lord; I have no good beside or beyond You.


Psalms 23:1

The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need.


When we look at our life critically, we can tell the things or people that matter to us. It is most times the things or people that meet a particular need or serve a particular purpose to us.


It is a good mental exercise to sit back and reflect on what role most of our acquaintances play in our lives. It could help us estimate how much time we spend with, or on them, and if we need to move away from, or draw closer.


We who have believed know that God is the only one who can take the place of "my everything". We shouldn't place anyone or anything above Him. Every good teacher should point everyone to God and not to themselves, a sect or a denomination. The central focus ought to be God. He is the El shaddai


Jesus who was very God, pointed to this fact:


Matthew 19:16-17

Now behold, one came and said to Him, "Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?"

So He said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments."


The focus is God, and Jesus is the way, that is why He continued by saying:


Matthew 19:21

Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me."


John 10:30

"I and My Father are one."


The question is, "is God our everything?"


At the point of salvation, yes many can claim this, but as life continues, other things begin to compete for God's position.


All would fail, others will disappoint only God would not, He is the one who call things out of nothing


Romans 4:17b

even God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did;


Jeremiah 32:17

“O Sovereign lord! You made the heavens and earth by your strong hand and powerful arm. Nothing is too hard for you!


Nothing passes His sight, He knows about all things.


Hebrews 4:13

And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.


He is the one who supplies all our needs.


Philippians 4:19

And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.


He is our healer


Acts 9:34

And Peter said to him, "Aeneas, Jesus the Christ heals you. Arise and make your bed." Then he arose immediately.


He is the one who gives us all things to enjoy. For what do we have that we have not received?


1Timothy 6:17

Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy.


As we go on this year, let us remember Him who should be "our everything", Let us give Him His place in our lives.


He calls us blessed


Love

MAINTAIN A GODLY MARRIAGE

-
Judges 13:2-3,6,10 In those days a man named Manoah from the tribe of Dan lived in the town of Zorah. His wife was unable to become pregnant, and they had no children. The angel of the Lord appeared to Manoah’s wife and said, “Even though you have been unable to have children, you will soon become pregnant and give birth to a son. The woman ran and told her husband, “A man of God appeared to me! He looked like one of God’s angels, terrifying to see. I didn’t ask where he was from, and he didn’t tell me his name. So she quickly ran and told her husband, “The man who appeared to me the other day is here again!” We live in times when the institution of marriage is being destroyed from in and out of the church. Divorce rate is high and many are in a marriage but are not happy therein. What is the problem? God has been taken out of the equation. How? Jesus said: Matthew 19:8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had origina

Remember: God is in control.

As we go through the 11th month of this year of accomplishment, let us be reminded. When it seems to hurt so much, or it all looks quiet and alone, when it appears not to work out. Please don't give up, God is still in control Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. My dear it is not about how you feel, and not about what it seems, it is about what He Has promised and He who promised is sure to keep His Word. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:12 " Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you." God is in control and His plans for you are good. He has already done it. Romans 4:21 " and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform." Have a

NEEDLESS BATTLES

-
Judges 12:1-4 Then the people of Ephraim mobilized an army and crossed over the Jordan River to Zaphon. They sent this message to Jephthah: “Why didn’t you call for us to help you fight against the Ammonites? We are going to burn down your house with you in it!” Jephthah replied, “I summoned you at the beginning of the dispute, but you refused to come! You failed to help us in our struggle against Ammon. So when I realized you weren’t coming, I risked my life and went to battle without you, and the Lord gave me victory over the Ammonites. So why have you now come to fight me?” The people of Ephraim responded, “You men of Gilead are nothing more than fugitives from Ephraim and Manasseh.” So Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and attacked the men of Ephraim and defeated them. When the Lord does not lead you, you become prone to minding and walking with unnecessary things, like fighting unnecessary battles and stirring evil sentiments. I have always said that devices like racism, tri
