IN WHOM DO YOU TRUST?

-

Psalms 91:2

This I declare about the Lord: 

He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him.


The greatest alliance a nation could have is with the strongest nation of their time. When a threat snares, they seek help from their alliance and if the oppressors are wise they flee at the warning of the stronger nation.


Christ said:


Matthew 28:18

Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth.


The key word here is ALL, that means any other power must submit to Christ, for that is what the Heavenly Father has done:


Philippians 2:10-11

that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.


Thus wisdom is to have your alliance with Christ.


The revelation of these great turn around was prophesied by the prophets of old:


Psalms 91:1,9

Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter,


Isaiah 40:31

But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. 

They will soar high on wings like eagles. 

They will run and not grow weary. 

They will walk and not faint.


Isaiah 54:15,17

If any nation comes to fight you, it is not because I sent them. 

Whoever attacks you will go down in defeat.

But in that coming day no weapon turned against you will succeed. 

You will silence every voice raised up to accuse you. 

These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the Lord; their vindication will come from me. I, the lord, have spoken!


All of these promises are fulfilled in Christ Jesus:


2 Corinthians 1:20

For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!” And through Christ, our “Amen” (which means “Yes”) ascends to God for his glory.


For they remained a shadow only reflecting in few who stood out in faith but now revealed to all who believe for we became legitimate sons:


John 1:1-4,12

In the beginning the Word already existed. 

The Word was with God, and the Word was God.

He existed in the beginning with God.

God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him.

The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone.

But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God.


So where is your alliance, in whom have you trusted?


Are you still playing religion or have you received the salvation which is only in Christ Jesus.


Acts 4:11-12

For Jesus is the one referred to in the Scriptures, where it says, 

‘The stone that you builders rejected has now become the cornerstone.’

There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.”


You who have believe, don't play down what you have in Christ Jesus instead of dwelling on the woes that are for those who do not believe, dwell on the promises which is for you who believe.


Psalms 1:3,6b

They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. 

Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do.

For the Lord watches over the path of the godly, 


Know whom you have believed, and have put your trust in. Instead of worrying, or running helter-skelter, calm down and talk with your Heavenly Father, you have the access, you have the dial.


Enough of the err, and gullible tacks of man and spirits, know whom you have believed and take advantage of your inheritance.


So help us Good Lord.


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
