GOD IS NOT MOCKED!

-

1 Kings 14:1-3,6,9-10

At that time Jeroboam’s son Abijah became very sick.

So Jeroboam told his wife, “Disguise yourself so that no one will recognize you as my wife. Then go to the prophet Ahijah at Shiloh—the man who told me I would become king.

Take him a gift of ten loaves of bread, some cakes, and a jar of honey, and ask him what will happen to the boy.”

So when Ahijah heard her footsteps at the door, he called out, “Come in, wife of Jeroboam! Why are you pretending to be someone else?” Then he told her, “I have bad news for you.

You have done more evil than all who lived before you. You have made other gods for yourself and have made me furious with your gold calves. And since you have turned your back on me,

I will bring disaster on your dynasty and will destroy every one of your male descendants, slave and free alike, anywhere in Israel. I will burn up your royal dynasty as one burns up trash until it is all gone.


God is not mocked.


Jeroboam was given a special opportunity by God to rule Israel, his family would continue to rule if only he stayed faithful. What did he do? He abandoned God and went after idols instead. He made it all about himself, trying to fight to keep what he didn't work for in the first place.


Trouble now comes and he sent his wife to disguise and go look for the prophet who brought him the prophesy in the first place.


What had he been doing all those years? Evil upon evil.


Listen, you cannot play around with God. Come on, He is God.


This is why I do not support all these jamboree prayers, worship and miracles sessions here and there. People live their lives away from God but want to enjoy miracles and blessings from him, yet they are not dedicated to Him.


Listen, if you are truly God's own you don't need any transactions or public stunts to enjoy His blessings. All you need is to walk in obedience. Be in fellowship with Him. If you are a member of His kingdom, no one can stop you from accessing His presence. You already are in His presence.


Listen to Jesus:


Matthew 6:33

Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.


Jeroboam lived away from God, yet wanted to enjoy God's blessings and kingdom benefits. No you cannot rebel and yet enjoy sonship. Selah


What did he get instead, woes!


Enough of all these camouflage Christianity, we are christians on Sunday or any worship day but are something else on other days.



We carry about terrible characters and dispositions, in the family, workplace, neighbourhood etc, yet we display holy character during those prayer times and worship periods. Come on, who are we deceiving?


You are selfish, never helping at home, do not take care of your parents, spouse or children. Your Christianity is only for supposed men of God as if you are trying to buy your salvation. Sorry, that is not the true gospel.


Can we stop trying to mock God.


He sees your heart, He knows the end from the beginning. He is God!


Can all ministers begin to teach the right thing, can we bring the heart and mind of the people to God and not to ourselves or mammon.


Enough of all these perversions, can we come back to God!


O help us Good Lord.


PRAYER

Loving Father, I remain true to You there is no other Lord in my life but You Lord God. Keep me faithful Father, let me live my life to please You at all times. I have no alternative for You are my All in All. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.


He calls us blessed.


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
