Keep Your Sight On Him

-
We are but a few days to the end of the year 2011 and when you look back to the beginning of the year, it takes so much from you to truly tell the Lord Jesus Christ thank you. The state you are in right now is so disheartening and you are almost giving up on God. You may have been told that it is near impossible for what you are expecting to come because you are not qualified. You may have even lost confidence that you could ever pull through not with what is on ground. Maybe you have taken your eyes from this year and focusing on next year and have started planning what strategies to employ since you failed to realize your aspirations this year. But I am here to tell you that the year is not over yet! If God had given His word He will bring it to pass and nothing will stop it except You! Psalm 87:1 reminds us that God is the Supreme Authority; all other authorities were instituted by Him not the other way round. So who is the ‘authority’ that is telling you that it is impossible for God’s word which He spoke to you this year to come to pass? All that God had declared concerning you have no option than to come to pass. Don’t take your eyes off Him. You might feel unqualified right now but look at that Psalm 87 again. Verse 3 says glorious things are said about YOU because you are THE city of God. The city He has chosen to dwell in. Peradventure you are still in doubt; God says in verse4 that Rahab, Babylon, Philistia, Tyre and Cush all know Him. These are Nations or peoples that have nothing good to offer because they are seen as evil and excluded from the grace and family of God. However, He has a loving relationship with them all and they are born in Zion. Wow! No wonder He told us earlier in verse 2 that He loves the gates of Zion than the dwellings of Jacob. God is saying, ‘I will meet with them and they will respond to Me the way a bride responds to the touch of her beloved husband’. Friend, do not let any man look down on you from their sanctimonious height, you are loved by God as well. If they claim to dwell in the dwellings of Jacob, you do not only dwell in Zion, you were even born there! Praise God! Forget what had been said or done to you in the past or is currently happening to you. The Lord says you should focus on Him and see Him come through for you. The Lord has risen, Friend, as your Deliverer and He will deliver you if you will only trust Him. The truth is you have no strength in you to fight what you are facing, but He is here – respond to Him. Forget about your inadequacies and let your soul, mind and heart respond to His tingling touch and voice. ALL He said to you this year will come to pass, not one will fail in Jesus Christ Name!

The Quarry Site Experience

-
Have you ever visited a quarry site and considered the process the rocks are subjected to before they become dressed stones to be used? If the stones could talk they will have a story to tell about their experiences.  As children of God we go through diverse experiences and we wonder if we will indeed survive them. Sometimes we wonder why our gracious and compassionate Father would allow such to befall us considering who we are in Him and what we are doing in His vineyard.  The Scripture that should readily come to our minds in such circumstances is God’s assurance when He said: “I will be with you when you pass through the waters, and when you pass through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. You will not be scorched when you walk through the fire and the flame will not burn you ” (Isaiah 43:2). This Scripture assures us that through the experiences of flames and waters, God is always by our side to see us through.  Thus, it is necessary for us to go through them so that we m

Clean House!

Many things had happened in the life of Abram. He had gone to war to save his nephew caught in a war between several nations. Against all odds, Abram with his 318 trained men born in his household, successfully pursued the armies of four kingdoms and defeated them. This feat could only have been possible with the help of God. Abram acknowledged this by giving a tenth of the spoils to Melchizedek, the king of Salem. "After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not be afraid, Abram, I am your shield; Your reward [for obedience] shall be very great" (Genesis 15:1, AMP).    In the previous chapter, we saw Abram refuse the overtures of the king of Sodom to share in the spoils of war. The way Abram puts it was quite enlightening. He said: "But Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have raised my hand and sworn an oath to the Lord God Most High, the Creator and Possessor of heaven and earth, that I would not take anything that is yours, fr

Beware Of The Choice Table

-
       The book of Daniel opens with the account of God handing over the king of Judah, her people, and her treasures to the king of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar. Those first two verses in the first chapter of Daniel were quite frightening; imagine being handed over to your enemy to be enslaved and or probably killed. Why would God do this to His beloved people? 'Where is His mercy', many cry out today when they read these and many more Scriptures like that. Why would God send His people into slavery and suffering, many yell today, especially in the face of current happenings around the world or in their personal lives.         Those that say such are yet to understand the extent of His mercy and love. In His mercy, He gives His people a chance to repent and return to Him because He is holy; and those that must worship Him must do so in holiness. In His love, to experience that life outside of Him is empty and filled with darkness devoid of any form of light. His love brings light i
