STAY IN HIS ATMOSPHERE 2

-

Psalms 95:6

Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before the LORD our Maker.


After the fall of man we see that there was the tendency of man to do his own things.


Also there was free access of satan and other spirit beings to manipulate the mind of man. Man never really knew who the enemy was.


We also observe that the flesh of man which was dead to God also longed for things which were not of God.


Yet through all these times we saw some special people who still sought after God they wanted to know their creator and desired to seek His atmosphere.


One remarkable man was Enoch who the bible said He sought so much of God that He became literally transferred from this atmosphere to the heavenly atmosphere.


Genesis 5:24

And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him


We could begin to list the great men and women who stood out from their generation to seek God and lived for Him.


Some heard of Him and wanted to know more, some decided that they would dedicate their life to being faithful to God, while others were taught in God's ways and they did not depart from it.


I am awed by these great people because they battled in the flesh yet they conquered. Do we talk of Noah, Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Job, David and Daniel.

These great men stood in faith killing their flesh that they may live a life pleasing to God.

They counted their flesh as nothing. They were people who dwelled in God's atmosphere.


One common glory about all these men is that they prospered eventually even while still on earth see what Jesus said:


Matthew 19:29

 "And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit everlasting life.


John 12:25

"He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.


We must be in His atmosphere, if we do not, we get used to a false atmosphere and thereafter get comfortable in that shallow place. It could then take a hard torment or difficulty to wake us from our slumber and to bring us back to our maker.


I prefer to stay in God's atmosphere now. There is no better option.


Key elements of those in His presence are a life of prayer, worship and study of His word. However above all one great activity is meditation, involving talking with God in your Spirit man, this we do at any time and any place. That we may always be in His atmosphere.


Matthew 22:37

Jesus said to him, " 'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'


Remember many things battle for the attention of our mind but only one supersedes them all. That which will give rest to our soul!


Get into His atmosphere today and stay there, truly no other place is worth it.


Help us Good Lord.


PRAYER

Loving Father I dwell in the secret place of Your Most High I abide under the shadow of Your Almighty. Thank You for taking care of me. There is no one or anything that can take me away from Your presence. 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

TRADE WISELY

-
Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Many have traded their joy chasing over material things and the pleasures and satisfaction of the world. The question is "is it worth it?". Yes we must earn, work and keep improving day after day but we must remember "nothing is free". We must pay a price. So, what are we ready to sacrifice? Some have sacrificed, their: * health * peace of mind * children * marriage * calling * ministry * good name All in the bid to get material things. 2Timothy 4:10 for Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and has departed for Thessalonica-- Crescens for Galatia, Titus for Dalmatia. There is always a process, we would get into trouble when we try to use the shortcut, to get it by all means and immediately. Let us be careful of what exchange we make! Let us ask like J

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
