HOW DOES HEAVEN SEE YOU?

-

Matthew 5:3

“God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for him, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.


Have you ever sat down to ask yourself, "how does God see me?".


All your complains, endeavours, goals, dreams, investments, studies, activities etc. What are they targeted at?


Have you hurt people all the way through life? Has it just been all about you? What seeds have you sown, of discord or of love? What really has been your story through the time you have been here?


Do you know your maker?


When the Messiah walked the earth, He asked:


Mark 8:37

Is anything worth more than your soul?


Why is this question important?


It is important because, your soul is the real you!


Your body is flesh it will rot, your spirit is God's it will return to Him, but your soul is you, your consciousness, emotion, feeling ...


This is what the enemy targets, this is also what God requires from us. For it is ours to give! Selah


When God gives instructions it is for the good of your soul.


This is why Jesus said:


Matthew 15:17-20

“Anything you eat passes through the stomach and then goes into the sewer.

But the words you speak come from the heart—that’s what defiles you.

For from the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, all sexual immorality, theft, lying, and slander.

These are what defile you. Eating with unwashed hands will never defile you.”


You can make your self look good, pretend about whatever, however, when it comes to God, He looks into your soul to see what is there. Selah


I ask again:


"How does the heaven see you?"


The beauty of this is that because you are alive you can make amends to purify your heart and let God dwell therein.


Matthew 5:8-9

God blesses those whose hearts are pure, for they will see God.

God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God.


What dung have you accumulated over the years. From your parents, your birth environment, people you grew up with, books you have read, movies or any skit you have watched, social media, or the world in it's current state of decadence.


You can let it all go and let God!


Letting God is not only coming to Him because you have faced a challenge, that is why I do not totally flow with these ceremonious programmes when people gather for miracles, breakthroughs etc.


Know God for yourself, be in His presence daily. Come on, talk to your Heavenly Father, live for Him, in your home, office, school, anywhere. Enough of all these hypocritical living, transactional and ceremonial relationship with the One who made you and you would account to. Can we come off it.


How does God see you?


These should bother you more than your appetite, lust, ego, self relevance.


Romans 12:1-2

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.

Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.


If God is your father, then you think the way He thinks and act the way He acts.


Matthew 5:45,48

In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike.

But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.


Can we begin to get it right!


O help us Good Lord. Indeed You have helped us.


PRAYER 

Loving Father You know You are everything to me. Lord take away from me anything that does not glorify You. I hold on to only that which is of You and indeed they are greater and mightier than anything the world can offer. I am great, I am Your offspring. 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
