JUDGMENT DAY

-

Genesis 7:10,12

After seven days, the waters of the flood came and covered the earth.

The rain continued to fall for forty days and forty nights.


Finally the day came when the waters came to destroy every living thing on earth, judgment had come.


How foolish Noah would have looked when he walked blamelessly on the earth avoiding all the evil others did. Making sure his steps were orderly and caring so much about God to ensure he did what pleases Him.


Luke 17:26-27

“When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah’s day.

In those days, the people enjoyed banquets and parties and weddings right up to the time Noah entered his boat and the flood came and destroyed them all.


They most likely would have taunted him, telling him what he was missing.


Moreso when he began building the ark, oh how they must have laughed. He most likely had employed some of them to help do the construction.


The same way people may think you stupid when you walk in righteousness, live blamelessly and walk with God. They assume that you are foolish not to join them to get defiled neither walking in corruption.


You know that judgment is coming.


Everything will yet be destroyed by fire!


2 Peter 3:10-11

But the day of the Lord will come as unexpectedly as a thief. Then the heavens will pass away with a terrible noise, and the very elements themselves will disappear in fire, and the earth and everything on it will be found to deserve judgment.

Since everything around us is going to be destroyed like this, what holy and godly lives you should live,


Remember that the moment a person dies, judgment has come for them.


Hebrews 9:27

And just as each person is destined to die once and after that comes judgment,


Definitely how we live our lives matter.


The norm is not sin or rebellion against God, it is actually the contrary. Corrupted flesh is what makes us think otherwise.


So, which is it? Is there no more condemnation for you or are you playing to the gallery. Christ has made it alright for us, He paid the price.


He gave His live to give us freedom. When we come to Him he delivers us. However, if we really want to be free, we need to walk in His truth:


John 8:32

And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”


You must walk in obedience if you really want to be free and escape judgment.


Remember what Christ brought was grace and truth:


John 1:17 (kjv)

For the law was given by Moses, [but] grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.


The truth is God's faithfulness, you must be faithful.


Romans 6:1-2

Well then, should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more and more of his wonderful grace?

Of course not! Since we have died to sin, how can we continue to live in it?


So help us Good Lord, we will be faithful, we will escape judgment. We dwell in the ark. Christ is the ark.


Psalms 91:1-2

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

This I declare about the lord: 

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


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
