WHO DOES IT?

Psalms 34:1

I will praise the Lord at all times. I will constantly speak his praises.


Wise ones understand that it is the Heavenly Father that deserves praise. He gives the enablement for everything we achieve.


We study, think, plan, take actions on opportunities for us to have success but we must remember:


Psalms 127:1

Unless the Lord builds a house, the work of the builders is wasted. 

Unless the Lord protects a city, guarding it with sentries will do no good.


Some will say that this person or that person did/do not acknowledge the Lord yet they are doing exploits. 


We must understand that the default is that every man was made to do exploits, I emphasize "everyone". None that God created was made a waste. However, sin brought separation of man from God, thus man lost life, this is what Christ came to restore.


So even after the fall and before Christ was revealed, man was living and doing things but with evil filled hearts, and this was not God's plan for man.


Those who found favour were able to seek Him, for choice was now available, and most chose wrongly.


Look at the parable of the prodigal son, he could have taken his inheritance invested wisely and made great gain prospering more, NO, he took the wrong choice to squander what he had inherited by command. The same way we are faced with choices when we do not seek the Lord and many who have not followed the Lord or have not followed Him completely have made pacts knowingly or unknowingly, where their souls has been ransomed.


Listen, man cannot be a vacuum He must be loyal to a spirit, man seeks whom to follow, there is always a deity in operation.


So, it is wisdom to be loyal to your creator, to let Him have control so that another will not take preminence in ones life.


Acknowledge Him who gives you life and determines your eternity. Know that He created all things and allows us enjoy all the good.


Matthew 5:45

In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike.


Acknowledge Him who gives us all the blessings.


And if You have been born again (received the new birth), then Your blessings is both for this life and through eternity.


Psalms 103:1-5

Let all that I am praise the Lord; with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name.

Let all that I am praise the Lord; may I never forget the good things he does for me.

He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases.

He redeems me from death and crowns me with love and tender mercies.

He fills my life with good things. My youth is renewed like the eagle’s!


Remember who does it!


Glory to God in the highest.


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
