TIME TO THANK GOD

Psalm 92:1 [It is a] good [thing] to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: Everytime you see the breaking of a new day, know that it is time to thank God. Yes, you have request, you have something bothering you, a project to start or complete, this person or that person did that etc. However, all these will only matter if you are alive. Selah! 1Thessalonians 5:18 "in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." Remember that it is because you are alive that you can work, eat, complain or make requests. Before anything else give thanks to God for giving you life and for giving His Son "Yeshua Hamaschiac, Jesus the Christ" in whom He has allowed all things to dwell. Colossians 2:9 "For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily;" If you have Jesus you have everything. Before anything else daily my friend, let us give thanks. Romans 8:32 "He who did not spare His...

KEEP THE WALL

 Psalm 12:1 Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men. The walls in this context, we explained in part 1 refer to barriers that have been put in place to enable us avoid mistakes, sins and not to fall into temptation. Matthew 6:13b And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: These barriers could be between good and evil, i. e, between light and darkness. They could be actions we take, things and situations we avoid. It could also be actions of discipline. The purpose is to ensure that the darts, tricks and devices of the enemy, self and the world do not penetrate. We live in times when some of us trusted with the glory of God's presence still give room for the flesh. Forgetting that Romans 13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to [fulfil] the lusts [thereof]. 1John 2:16&17  For all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and...

WE ARE FREE INDEED

John 8:36 "Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. Truly, Jesus was, is and will be the only one who can make this claim. No other person has the power to give this liberty no matter how wise their teaching or powerful their influence or how dynamic people claim their life was. Yet only one came from the Father to fulfil the Father's wish and returned to the Father after making us, who believe, sons also. John 13:3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God, John 3:13 "No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven. Man was born into the bondage of sin, which originally separated the man (the spirit of man) from his maker. The mentality of slavery keeps one in bondage and makes him/her think that there is something needed to be done to find favour in the eyes of the master. So one in bondage tries to follow ...

KEEP LOVE ALIVE

Romans 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? [shall] tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? A lot of things could attempt to separate us from the love of Christ but it is a wasted effort, it just cannot, nothing can. Many even some of us who have believed do not understand the extent of this love. It came with a high price, paid by Christ Himself and no one can contest it. We are the ones who can stumble. God knows the extent of His love and what great price was paid. So it is a wonder why some believers still allow the enemy to hold them captive even to the extent of building ministries in the operation of demons and evil spirits. Jesus never did this, neither did any of the apostles. (This is a study on its own.) As true believers we should build and promote God's kingdom and not the kingdom of the enemy. Yes, we are not ignorant of their devices but we don't dwell on them we destroy them. 1 John 3:8b But th...

DON'T BREAK THE WALLS

 Genesis 1:7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which [were] under the firmament from the waters which [were] above the firmament: and it was so. From creation there have been barriers set between two phases. To separate one from the other. Genesis 3:24  So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. However when we talk of walls in this context, we do not mean physical walls to keep people away from our house, community, city or even country. We actually refer to barriers that have been put in place to enable us avoid mistakes, sin and not to fall into temptation. Matthew 6:13b And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: These barriers could be between good and evil, i.e, between light and darkness. They could be actions we take, things and situations we avoid. It could also be actions of discipline. The purpose is to ens...

BE THE TEACHER

Hebrews 5:12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food. As we journey through this life, we meet situations we have no control over. This is of no fault of us and just happens to be due to reasons we cannot tell. Let us look at some examples from scriptures: * Daniel found himself in a strange land with so much expected from him. * Joseph found himself in a palace with so much to account for. * David found himself in the war zone with a giant soldier threatening his people * Lot found himself in a community full of unrepentant sinners whose atrocities knew no boundary * Solomon found himself as king, when he ought to have been a rejected child "Truly not all situations are our making, yet, the scripts, we can write/rewrite" - @ the watcher. Instead of watching the scene as a spectator we could actually write the script by being ...

KEEP GROWING

Romans 13:12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Our growth as humans does not limit to increase in physical attributes. As the years go by, we should not merely count how long we have been here but how much we have improved, and how much impact we have made. Selah There is always room for improvement again and again as we move on in life, the good is to improve by becoming better and better with each passing day. However we are faced with environmental factors. Whether we want to or not we get affected by them and they affect our growth. Luke 8:8 And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. Yes, some factors could cause us to adopt mis-growth, thus becoming thorns instead of good fruit, or just impeding our growth. This is why we hear of believers who have known the Lo...
