GOD'S SPECIAL PERSON

-

1 Chronicles 16:22

“Do not touch my chosen people, and do not hurt my prophets.”


Psalms 105:15

“Do not touch my chosen people, and do not hurt my prophets.”


When you are under the cover of the Almighty, He takes care of all that concerns you including protecting you from being oppressed.


Many claim to be God's prophet, however, the ones that God uses do not need to announce themselves, God announces them.


For God to announce you, He must have chosen you and you must also be working in His obedience. We have many who speak of grace but do not practice obedience to what God instructs. Many do not even hear Him.


Abraham, who was the father of faith, still had his fears as a human. Caution comes natural to us, however we must not forget who keeps us.


Psalms 91:1-4

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.

For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease.

He will cover you with his feathers. 

He will shelter you with his wings. 

His faithful promises are your armor and protection.


Abraham did not take anything for granted. He did not just go headlong into dangerous situations.


It is like when little children go around looking for trouble, feeling that their dad would come fight for them. Most times it doesn't work that way.


The fact that you believe that you are God's own does not give you license to boast, threaten others or try to bully others.


We even have those who quickly want to curse others in the name of the Lord, feeling that they have the power to do so.


God entrusts His power to those who have the character of the Spirit. He will not allow you treat His glory with disdain.


Galatians 5:22-23

But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!


One beautiful about being God's own is that Christ has worked out a new formula for us. The people of old who put their trust in the Lord like Abraham also enjoyed a glimpse of it.


Paul expresses it thus:


Romans 8:28

And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.


When God counts You as His own, You have a special cover.


So, we pray as believers that we can speak the things He has promised over us and also to keep the connection alive, that we do not fall into temptation.


I hide under Your canopy Dear Lord. I know You will fight my seen and unseen battles. Glory to Your name forever.


He calls us blessed.


Love

MAINTAIN A GODLY MARRIAGE

-
Judges 13:2-3,6,10 In those days a man named Manoah from the tribe of Dan lived in the town of Zorah. His wife was unable to become pregnant, and they had no children. The angel of the Lord appeared to Manoah’s wife and said, “Even though you have been unable to have children, you will soon become pregnant and give birth to a son. The woman ran and told her husband, “A man of God appeared to me! He looked like one of God’s angels, terrifying to see. I didn’t ask where he was from, and he didn’t tell me his name. So she quickly ran and told her husband, “The man who appeared to me the other day is here again!” We live in times when the institution of marriage is being destroyed from in and out of the church. Divorce rate is high and many are in a marriage but are not happy therein. What is the problem? God has been taken out of the equation. How? Jesus said: Matthew 19:8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had origina

Remember: God is in control.

As we go through the 11th month of this year of accomplishment, let us be reminded. When it seems to hurt so much, or it all looks quiet and alone, when it appears not to work out. Please don't give up, God is still in control Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. My dear it is not about how you feel, and not about what it seems, it is about what He Has promised and He who promised is sure to keep His Word. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:12 " Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you." God is in control and His plans for you are good. He has already done it. Romans 4:21 " and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform." Have a

NEEDLESS BATTLES

-
Judges 12:1-4 Then the people of Ephraim mobilized an army and crossed over the Jordan River to Zaphon. They sent this message to Jephthah: “Why didn’t you call for us to help you fight against the Ammonites? We are going to burn down your house with you in it!” Jephthah replied, “I summoned you at the beginning of the dispute, but you refused to come! You failed to help us in our struggle against Ammon. So when I realized you weren’t coming, I risked my life and went to battle without you, and the Lord gave me victory over the Ammonites. So why have you now come to fight me?” The people of Ephraim responded, “You men of Gilead are nothing more than fugitives from Ephraim and Manasseh.” So Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and attacked the men of Ephraim and defeated them. When the Lord does not lead you, you become prone to minding and walking with unnecessary things, like fighting unnecessary battles and stirring evil sentiments. I have always said that devices like racism, tri
