HOW DO YOU SEE THINGS?

-

Proverbs 28:11

Rich people may think they are wise, but a poor person with discernment can see right through them.


The interpretation of things, happenings and events are as a result of various factors.


* What we have experienced,

* what we have been told and

* eventually if we have the opportunity, we get to see what exactly it is.


that is why we need the leading and direction of the Holy Spirit


2 Corinthians 5:16

Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer.


Some were opportune to see Jesus physically as a person. They saw him as a man, son of a carpenter, a prophet some saw Him as Elijah returned.

Only Peter had at that time the privilege of knowing who exactly he was.


Matthew 16:16-17

 And Simon Peter answered and said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

Jesus answered and said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.


As we go on through life we come across people and each and everyone of them are for a particular purpose and they fulfil a particular role in our life.


David was blessed by the friendship of Jonathan.


We could become too conscious and expectant of a particular thing or goal and miss a lot of other things because we ignore those who are there to minister to them.


The same way many after this life will say "I know who Jesus is", the question will be "What did you do with that knowledge". Because you will stand in judgement before him if you did not accept Him as Lord and Saviour!


John 5:22

"For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son,


As we go on this year may the Spirit of our God empower us to discover at each point in time, the essence and reason for people that come around us.


To see right,

to hear well and

to know with full understanding.


We will keep good relationship and not entangle ourselves with the wrong people or company.


Lead us Loving Father.


PRAYER

Loving Father release Your Spirit of discernment in me that I will see right, hear right and know with full understanding. Let me please You in all things and may I never fall into any trap. I will not err Lord. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.


He calls us blessed.


Love

MAINTAIN A GODLY MARRIAGE

-
Judges 13:2-3,6,10 In those days a man named Manoah from the tribe of Dan lived in the town of Zorah. His wife was unable to become pregnant, and they had no children. The angel of the Lord appeared to Manoah’s wife and said, “Even though you have been unable to have children, you will soon become pregnant and give birth to a son. The woman ran and told her husband, “A man of God appeared to me! He looked like one of God’s angels, terrifying to see. I didn’t ask where he was from, and he didn’t tell me his name. So she quickly ran and told her husband, “The man who appeared to me the other day is here again!” We live in times when the institution of marriage is being destroyed from in and out of the church. Divorce rate is high and many are in a marriage but are not happy therein. What is the problem? God has been taken out of the equation. How? Jesus said: Matthew 19:8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had origina

Remember: God is in control.

As we go through the 11th month of this year of accomplishment, let us be reminded. When it seems to hurt so much, or it all looks quiet and alone, when it appears not to work out. Please don't give up, God is still in control Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. My dear it is not about how you feel, and not about what it seems, it is about what He Has promised and He who promised is sure to keep His Word. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:12 " Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you." God is in control and His plans for you are good. He has already done it. Romans 4:21 " and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform." Have a

IF HE SAID IT, HE WILL DO IT

Joshua 21: 43-45 So the Lord gave to Israel all the land he had sworn to give their ancestors, and they took possession of it and settled there. And the Lord gave them rest on every side, just as he had solemnly promised their ancestors. None of their enemies could stand against them, for the Lord helped them conquer all their enemies. Not a single one of all the good promises the Lord had given to the family of Israel was left unfulfilled; everything he had spoken came true. If the Lord promised it be rest assured that He will bring it to pass. The One He gave the promise to believed it whole heatedly and proved it by His obedience. The same with his son and further on to his grandson. Hebrews 11:8-9 It was by faith that Abraham obeyed when God called him to leave home and go to another land that God would give him as his inheritance. He went without knowing where he was going. And even when he reached the land God promised him, he lived there by faith—for he was like a foreig
