REMEMBER HIM

-

Numbers 29:39-40

“You must present these offerings to the Lord at your annual festivals. These are in addition to the sacrifices and offerings you present in connection with vows, or as voluntary offerings, burnt offerings, grain offerings, liquid offerings, or peace offerings.”

So Moses gave all of these instructions to the people of Israel as the Lord had commanded him.


So much offerings for different occasions at different times. Daily offerings, Sabbath offering, monthly offering, Passover offering, harvest offering, trumpet offering etc. The list continues.


All these seems like a burden, however, they helped to keep Israel in remembrance of who gives them all the blessings and who they are committed to.


Today as believers we give our whole lives. All we have is offered to the Lord beginning from our hearts.


Romans 12:1

And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.


At no point should we assume that we are sufficient in ourselves.


Have you experienced times when you have forgotten God? Yes I have. Those periods you have taken a decision or acted on a situation without considering what God expected from you or even sought for His direction.


Most of the times it leads to regret. There are things we cannot afford to get wrong even at the first attempt. We need the Lord in all these things.


How do we keep ourselves in remembrance of the Lord? By communion.


The Spirit is  living in us, thus, we need to keep our spirit alife by continual offerings. We pray, worship, study the word and do other spiritual exercises. We must also give. Giving is an act of worship and it is obedience.


Remember what Christ said:


Matthew 6:21

Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.


Remember the Lord.


Give Him your all. Don't hold anything back.


PRAYER

O Lord help us give our time, talent and treasures to You. May we remember You in all things that our life will be pleasing to You, a living sacrifice that You will always want us to be where You are. Glory to Your name Lord.


He has blessed us.


Love

@the watcher.

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
