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

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
