STAND!

Ephesians 6:14

Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,


Psalms 16:8

I have set the LORD always before me; Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.


These are the times of explosion of wisdom and revelations. Wisdom is released and sources of information abound, just from the comfort of your home you get access to information from all parts of the world and also have access to archives of history. (Yet many are ignorant of important things, Selah)


At a time like this people question the very basis of the faith, they have access to other things they therefore want to compare and just as Solomon stated:


Ecclesiastes 12:12

But, my child, let me give you some further advice: Be careful, for writing books is endless, and much study wears you out.


Some have replaced the truth with the love of the world and the things of the world because they do not see the eternal but only the temporal. Emotions, sentiments and philosophical bias have taken over many a heart, leading to more confusion!


There is a wide spread of Contradictions and Arguments, Sentiments and Deceit.


While others have been deceived or confused out of faith, some have been reduced to serving mammon still others live outside of Agape.


But Jesus said


Luke 18:8b

Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?"


The enemy has never changed His tactics, he still attacks the mind. That is where the battle begins and ends:


Proverbs 4:23

Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.


Romans 12:2

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.


What then do we and those with us do?


We must remain in


* prayer, do not be far from your knees (pray without ceasing)


* study the word, while doing this, be careful of the so called "other books"


* worship, remember God will not share His glory with anyone


* don't be far from true brethren (not lovers of money, pretenders, religious hypocrites or the proud and arrogant)


* let goodness be your attitude, it is your character if you have the Holy Spirit (. . . for by their fruits . . .)


* remember your first character and nature which is LOVE (God is love), therefore love!


Many cannot interpret the call to be steady


Revelation 22:11-12

"He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still."

"And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to each one according to his work.


It is better to decide where you stand and remain there, only when you are planted in a place can you grow.


Seeds flying around do not germinate, they have to be buried in a place!


Remember, the more you look everywhere, the easier it will be to fall.


But . . .


Hebrews 12:13

and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.


How is your immediate family, does God rule there?


What is your name . . .. do you bear a good testimony at work, home and in other places?


Do you still tell others about Jesus and do you encourage the brethren? What floods your media space?


Why not pray now, yes now!


I see us finishing strong and receiving good commendations from God.


May we be deeply established in God.


We will be fruitful.


O help us Good Lord.


PRAYER

Loving Father keep me and mine standing strong at these times. Let Your power be revealed on all of Yours all over the world that we may all stand strong and many good hearted ones lost will find their way to You. 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
