WHERE ARE YOU?

-

Genesis 7:21-23

All the living things on earth died—birds, domestic animals, wild animals, small animals that scurry along the ground, and all the people.

Everything that breathed and lived on dry land died.

God wiped out every living thing on the earth—people, livestock, small animals that scurry along the ground, and the birds of the sky. All were destroyed. The only people who survived were Noah and those with him in the boat.


Noah and those with him in the boat survived the flood. 


Where you are matters. Your position at every point in time will determine how situations and events affect you. If you are present at the place of favour, you enjoy it's blessings, however if you are found in the place of trouble, you could very well share in it.


This is why the believer must be led by God's Spirit, that we may know when to go, stop, wait or retrace our steps. The God we serve is the author of time, He knows the end from the beginning thus He knows how to guide us that we may not fall into temptations.


Psalms 37:23

The Lord directs the steps of the godly. 

He delights in every detail of their lives.


Adam was well secured under God's protection till He decided to walk in disobedience, thus his position was compromised, that is why God asked him:


Genesis 3:9

Then the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”


Where are you?


In the secret place of the most High? Or just drifting by?


Christ is the secret place of the most High for He came out of God's very bosom:


John 1:18 

No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared [him].


Where are you?


Your position will determine how events affect you. Many have fallen victims because they follow the wrong crowd or because they kept company with the supposed wealthy, some have even received attacks meant for them.


What are you doing in the seat of sinners, what are you doing in the company of those who do not know the Lord. You could very well join in the judgment against them.


Proverbs 1:15

My child, don’t go along with them! 

Stay far away from their paths.


Have you joined the enemy's camp consciously or unconsciously because of what you think you have to gain. Be wise, the enemy's gift is a time bomb.


Instead, stay in God's presence, walk with the righteous, don't be caught with the calamity of the wicked. Do not be trapped or decieived by the enemy.


Help us O Lord.


Keep us in Your secret place O Lord.


He calls us blessed.


Love

@the watcher.

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
