MAN'S WRONG DESIRE

-

Psalms 14:1 

The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, They have done abominable works, There is none who does good.


Why would one want to take God out of the equation? One would wonder why anyone would say there is no God. Talk less of a believer. It is because of sin, they desire to do those things God would not approve of, to some, it is the desire to be in control 


The rebellious desire is to take God's place, to occupy His seat, to neglect His word.


Remember that man's condemnation is actually birthed in unbelieve:


John 3:18 

He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.


We could then further ask why would the Lord then say to a believer "I do not know you". 


The scripture has only one answer to this.


Psalms 14:2 

The LORD looks down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there are any who understand, who seek God.

 They have all turned aside, They have together become corrupt; There is none who does good, No, not one.


Let us look at the new testament.


Luke 13:27 

"But He will say, 'I tell you I do not know you, where you are from. Depart from Me, all you workers of iniquity.'


1Corinthians 6:9 

Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites

 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.


Galatians 5:21

 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.


Remember that the major fault of the enemy was His desire to be God.


Revelation 21:8

"But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.


He did not want to be controlled by God's Spirit. He desired to explore and be in charge. 

The great nation America have been eaten up by these abominable acts even to the seat of power.

The need to be God has made man rebel against God. They who were founded on the foundation of God's word have sought other/strange things.


The very basic nature of God, "LOVE" has been replaced by other abominable things.


The bible says:


Colossians 3:12 

Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering


but:


Mark 13:22

 "For false christs and false prophets will rise and show signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.


May we never be deceived, may we remain faithful. May we never attempt to overthrow God. Instead may we be ambassadors for God.


Many have left the Lord because of the seeming prosperity while some have left because of the seemed hardship. In all your believe is not a function of the situation, it is who you are. Selah


So many look and see nations who seem to prosper, yet they seem not to recognize God. The truth is that God has made all things to prosper by default. If only we do the right things. This condition applies to all. However our eternity is only secured in Him. Selah


May the Lord reveal more to you.


It will be a great week 


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
