WHEN THE LORD HAS DONE IT

-

Genesis 24:50-51,67

Then Laban and Bethuel replied, “The Lord has obviously brought you here, so there is nothing we can say.

Here is Rebekah; take her and go. Yes, let her be the wife of your master’s son, as the lord has directed.”

And Isaac brought Rebekah into his mother Sarah’s tent, and she became his wife. He loved her deeply, and she was a special comfort to him after the death of his mother.


Things always fall into place when the Lord's hand is in it. It is easiest when all parties involved have faith in the Lord. Most times it is difficult to convince one who doesn't know the Lord that this or that is God's instruction or God's plan.


Exodus 5:2

“Is that so?” retorted Pharaoh. “And who is the Lord? Why should I listen to him and let Israel go? I don’t know the Lord, and I will not let Israel go.”


In this scenario God steps in to show His power, that the one who do not believe will have no choice than to succumb to the will of the Lord. For the Heavenly Father has the final say.


What can those who oppose do? The best they can do is to delay(from our own perspective) but God's will, will surely come to pass.


Exodus 14:14

The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.”


So, we save ourselves a lot of trouble by following the path of the Lord. 


However, we must remember that as humans we are in God's image, we have a will, the Lord does not take it away from us or "them"/"the other person". We must walk wisely.


Living in this world as believers I pray that God's wisdom will lead us to deal with everyone appropriately. For scripture records:


Proverbs 16:7

When people’s lives please the Lord, even their enemies are at peace with them.


As we enter the new year, that special influence of God's hand will lead us to excel and prosper in all good things.


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
