WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

2 Kings 1:3,15-16

But the angel of the Lord told Elijah, who was from Tishbe, “Go and confront the messengers of the king of Samaria and ask them, ‘Is there no God in Israel? Why are you going to Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, to ask whether the king will recover?

Then the angel of the Lord said to Elijah, “Go down with him, and don’t be afraid of him.” So Elijah got up and went with him to the king.

And Elijah said to the king, “This is what the Lord says: Why did you send messengers to Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, to ask whether you will recover? Is there no God in Israel to answer your question? Therefore, because you have done this, you will never leave the bed you are lying on; you will surely die.”


What is it with us and running around, we jump from one pastor to another, one event to another, miracle service here and there, then some now complicate matters by going to seers(even some acclaimed prophets are just mere seers) and various mediums.


When Jesus spoke to the woman of Samaria at the side of the Jacob's well, it gives us a clear understanding of what the Lord wants from us.


John 4:21,23-26

Jesus replied, “Believe me, dear woman, the time is coming when it will no longer matter whether you worship the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem.

But the time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way.

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

The woman said, “I know the Messiah is coming—the one who is called Christ. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”

Then Jesus told her, “i am the Messiah!”


The people had been in a state of confusion for so long. They were expecting the Messiah to come to clear all the confusion and make them understand.


He came, but they didn't listen!!!


With all the revelations we have revealed in God's word many are yet to get the basics, the starting point.


Matthew 22:37-40

Jesus replied, “‘You must love the lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’

This is the first and greatest commandment.

A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’

The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.”


That is the starting point, your love for God. not love for a certain denomination, religion, pastor or minister, spirit or being, mammon, a place, site or anything else.


Your love of God will keep you fellowshipping with Him, not minding your location. It is you and Him first then other things.


It is funny that as a child your father is with you at home and you have a problem you then go outside your house looking for who will help you.


As absurd as it sounds, that is what king Ahaziah did. The same thing many supposed believers have been doing.


Where are you always running to, what is that mountain, valley, religious site, church building, location, denomination, religion that you are chasing after?


Do you know God, do you know that if You are His, He lives in You by His Holy Spirit.


Wake up!


Get out of the delusion.


It is this same ignorance or conscious resistance that makes us do the terrible things we do without being conscious that we are not alone God's Spirit is with us.


If we have this consciousness, we will not think, say or do so many things we do.


Where are you going?


God is not lost.


He is here!


And if you have believed, He is in You.


Stop and Listen.


O help us Good Lord.


PRAYER

Loving Father, keep me in the consciousness of You in me. Let me be led by Your Spirit to always do that which pleases You and be a blessing to my society. I am Yours Lord, glorify Yourself in me. Glory to Your name Lord 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
