HIS PROMISE TO BE WITH US

-

Exodus 23:22-23,32

But if you are careful to obey him, following all my instructions, then I will be an enemy to your enemies, and I will oppose those who oppose you.

For my angel will go before you and bring you into the land of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites, and Jebusites, so you may live there. And I will destroy them completely.

“Make no treaties with them or their gods.


The Lord keeps His own, fights for them and is always with them. However sin/disobedience separates people from the Lord.


The prophet stated in the book of Isaiah:


Isaiah 59:1-2

Listen! The Lord’s arm is not too weak to save you, nor is his ear too deaf to hear you call.

It’s your sins that have cut you off from God. 

Because of your sins, he has turned away and will not listen anymore.


God sent His angel to guide and lead the children of Israel and to give them His instructions, all they had to do was walk in obedience and then the full victory and prosperity was theirs.


The same way the Lord is with all believers, for Christ said when He was physically leaving the earth:


John 14:15-18

“If you love me, obey my commandments.

And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you.

He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him, because it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him. But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you.

No, I will not abandon you as orphans—I will come to you.


So Christ lives in all believers by the Holy Spirit we must obey Him and allow Him lead us if we want to enjoy the full package Christ won for us.


His angels are on assignment for us and we are to empower their territory and walk with them to ensure God's glory is revealed in our lives.


Most times people create the wrong atmosphere or aura where it is difficult for God's messenger to work for us

We fight our own battles, we hate, envy, lust and practice tribalism, racism and all forms of malice and then wonder why God's power is not manifest in our lives.


All those hyped acclaimed men/women of God, who promise and speak into the lives of people who have no personal relationship with the Lord are not helping them, for what the Lord needs from us, is our heart, not just for us to come collect from Him and return to the ways of the world. Selah


We must learn from the Israelites, not making their mistakes but walking in the Spirit that we do not fulfill the lusts of the flesh.


Remember:


2 Timothy 3:16-17

All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.

God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.


By His grace we will Not fail, fall or falter.


We will be found worthy and remain faithful.


We prosper and do exploits as the Lord's angels fight our battles and His Spirit guide us day after day.


Thank You Heavenly Father.


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
