IT IS A SLOW FADE

-

Proverbs 15:14

A wise person is hungry for knowledge, while the fool feeds on trash.


The fall comes as a slow fade, it slips away bit by bit before you know it one has fallen.


(" it is a slow fade, when you give yourself away

it is a slow fade, when white and black are turned to grey,

 and thoughts evades, choices are made,

a price will be paid

if you give yourself away

people do not crumble in a day

. . . it is a slow fade . . .)... music by Casting Crowns - slow fade.


No family crashes in a switch, it starts bit by bit.


No habit just jumps in and stays, it establishes itself step by step.


Poverty doesn't just step in, it crawls in bit by bit, your account may remain the same, but the atmosphere changes.


Sicknesses doesn't just step in, unhealthy habits build up and vectors drop in their venoms, bit by bit it matures.


Friendship don't just break! secrets upon secrets creep up, betrayals keep pilling up till it eventually explodes. This is same thing in marriages!


We do not lose our children instantly, bit by bit a combination of bad exampling, neglect, carelessness and less love. Then before you know it, other things take charge.


Companies don't just fold up, bit by bit, indiscipline creeps in, sentiments, nepotism, financial recklessness. Lack of new ideas, innovation, vision and looking in the future. Before long the company is left behind.


Houses decay when they are neglected time and again, no continuous maintenance, no renovation.


A country heads to crumble when the leaders cannot see the future and then take action. When they keep making wrong decisions again and again.


James 4:17

Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.


Proverbs 6:10

A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep


It is better to take action on time.


As it is said "Prevention is better than cure"


Backsliding and weak christianity is a result of continuous:


 *prayerlessness

* neglect of bible study

* neglect of worship

* forsaking the gathering with true believers

* acts of unbelief

* accommodation of sin

* avoidance of fast

* neglect to practice love

* stagnation

* argument of the word

* accommodation of atheistic tendencies

* living in the flesh

* too much of worldly wisdom

* gossip, lies and hypocrisy 

etc.


We are not of those who draw back, God's grace is sufficient for us.


Hebrews 10:39

But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul.


It may not look easy, maybe easier said than done, but God's Grace is available to us, His Spirit is here to help us.


We will not err.


We will finish well.


PRAYER

Loving Father, I decree the power of the Holy Spirit on us who believe to see before time, take action and have the victory even before the battle begins. Help us Good Lord. 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
