SPIRITUAL ORDERLINESS

Mark 6:31 Then Jesus said, “Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn’t even have time to eat. There a lot of things that is done out of order in the name of doing ministry work. It is important to note that those we work with are humans and they do need time out to rest just as you need to also. Even Christ acknowledged that. Listen, you are responsible to cater for your body, to keep it clean, feed it the right things and of course to rest. No one will do it for you. Note it is a great disservice for you to feed your body toxins. Yet people do it because they have created the cravings for it or sheepishly want to belong. Is this not foolishness? The same way some supposed leader have misappropriated, their own body of Christ or sect. Let us examine ourselves today, all the exertion of energy, is it for the right course? Paul as Saul spent part of his life persecuting th...

ECLIPSE RELOADED

1 Peter 5:10-11 In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation. All power to him forever! Amen. All may seem well with you at this time, however, we may not be able to say the same for others. Thus, there is a need to remind ourselves that there may be an eclipse but it will only be for a while. Are you experiencing an eclipse? Ecclesiastics 3:1 To every [thing there is] a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: Eclipse occurs when there is an obstruction to the full reflection of the sun. Partial or full darkness is experienced. In life we have times of eclipse it is expected, though sometimes it comes and our reaction escalates it beyond its real magnitude depending on how we face it. James 1:12  Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been proved, he will receive the crown of l...

LORD GIVE US GOOD LEADERS

Proverbs 29:2 When the godly are in authority, the people rejoice. But when the wicked are in power, they groan. Why? Romans 13:1-2 Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God. So anyone who rebels against authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and they will be punished. Now does this imply that all that rule on earth are chosen by God? No, because man do have a say in who leads them. Can anyone rule if God does not permit it? No, because no one can bring to pass if the Lord had not permitted it. However God expects us to respect authorities. Some say that the leadership of a nation is a reflection of the people in the nation, I will not totally agree, for to lead means you stand out of the crowd and possess something special including vision and special skills that make you stand out of the crowd. Listen to Jesus: Matthew 15:14 so ignore them. They are blind guides l...

AS WE GATHER

Ephesians 1:10 And this is the plan: At the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ—everything in heaven and on earth. We should always have it in mind that all things will end, and when it does, we go to a better place without all the troubles and pains we face now. As we join other believers to worship, pray and study God's word, let us remember the reason we gather. The originator of our union. Christ Jesus. He promised that He prepares a place for us, that we might be with Him forever. Oh what great joy. John 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be also. Whatever it is that would want to take away His dominance must be resisted, it must be all about Him. Thus even as we overlook the shortcomings of man, we never condone sin, filth or laziness, but encourage God's love, faithfulness and accountability. As we worship let it be about Him, let it be love H...

HELP OTHERS

Romans 15:2 We should help others do what is right and build them up in the Lord. That we build ourselves up spiritually is essential. We ought to grow everyday, for we do love ourselves. However our divine nature takes us further than that, it makes us buildup others (especially the weak). Romans 15:3 For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me. If we are over conscious of self, we will be of benefit to no one, and thus would not display our divine nature from God. We will be unfruitful! Romans 15:6-7 Then all of you can join together with one voice, giving praise and glory to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, accept each other just as Christ has accepted you so that God will be given glory. This is how we can be at peace with the brethren. What of those who have not believed? We keep interceding for them, inviting them to come into the great redemption which the Messiah had worked for all mankin...

OUR REVELATION IN THE PSALMS

Psalm 85:13 Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set [us] in the way of his steps. When we read the Psalms we see more than just the singing of songs, or rhymes to poetry or writings. It is not just the memory of the experiences of the people of Israel or the happenings to David or the other kings of those times. We see revelation born out of true worship, praise and intercession to our Heavenly Father. The greatest of all being the prophesy of the revelation of the Messiah and the great things He will do for all people. This is why, the Messiah the Christ quoted from there, so did Paul and Peter and others who wrote. The old testament fulfilled in its revelation by the very Spirit of God, the Spirit of prophesy. For all scriptures testify of the Messiah, Jesus the Christ. Halleluyah. John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. In Psalm 85 we see the declaration of God's mercy, forgiveness of sins and cl...

WE ARE VICTORIOUS

Romans 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. As long as our trust is in the Lord. We are not defined by whatever battle we fight, or the present situation, No, we have a fixed testimony and that is of victory. 1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks [be] to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. We are spiritually like the eagle: Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew [their] strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; [and] they shall walk, and not faint. When a powerful eagle exposes itself to the land below: Everyone begins to think it is in its place. Some foolishly take it is as common. Forgetting that the eagle still has its place at the high grounds. Don't take it for granted cause anything it lifts, either goes as a friend with it to greater heights or is dropped below to crash. For those who understand! Arise like an the eagle you are tod...
