DON'T GO WITHOUT GOD

-

Exodus 33:15-16

Then Moses said, “If you don’t personally go with us, don’t make us leave this place.

How will anyone know that you look favorably on me—on me and on your people—if you don’t go with us? For your presence among us sets your people and me apart from all other people on the earth.”


The world try to convince man of is his independence from God. That is the enemy's line from the beginning.


The conversion with the woman at the garden was about man being like God, emphasizing that man is self sufficient on his own and does not need the Heavenly Father!


Genesis 3:1,4-5

The serpent was the shrewdest of all the wild animals the Lord God had made. One day he asked the woman, “Did God really say you must not eat the fruit from any of the trees in the garden?”

“You won’t die!” the serpent replied to the woman.

“God knows that your eyes will be opened as soon as you eat it, and you will be like God, knowing both good and evil.”


It was a false promise of liberation that many yet fall into today. Man was already created in God's image and had God's authority here on earth, all submitted to him. In disobedience man lost that authority and also lost life.


The wise man wrote:


Proverbs 3:5-7

Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.

Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.

Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. 

Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil.


It is wisdom to trust in the Lord, He has the final say and no other power comes close to Him.


At the time of Moses, God was not revealed for who He was, thus Moses said:


Exodus 33:18

Moses responded, “Then show me your glorious presence.”


This has always been the request of atheists, they say, if God is real let Him show Himself.


However God has shown Himself through all He has created.


God has showed Himself through Christ Jesus who walked the earth.


God has showed Himself in our hearts.


No one can behold His face with the physical form and live.


Exodus 33:19-20

The Lord replied, “I will make all my goodness pass before you, and I will call out my name, Yahweh, before you. For I will show mercy to anyone I choose, and I will show compassion to anyone I choose.

But you may not look directly at my face, for no one may see me and live.”


It will take the Spirit to see God who is Spirit.


This is why:


John 4:24

For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.”


Do not go on without God, for God is ready to lead us if we will submit.


We go with the Lord, and we are sure that we have total victory.


Let no one pull you to where the Lord will not lead you, let no one convince us that we can do it on our own. Many of them have their trust in one thing or the other. We have our trust in Him who is above all, we will not be deceived.


We trust in the Lord and we will never be disappointed.


Glory to God forevermore.


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
