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!

But You Did Not Learn Christ In This Way

       I remember meeting a man of God in his office after the Sunday Services in his Church. I, like many others that day needed a few minutes with him. I was there at the instruction of the LORD to deliver a message. As we were talking, one of his Church workers came in and gave him a note. His face lit up, and he was very excited. I saw that there were sets of numbers written. I thought the numbers represented those who gave their lives to Christ, because many came out during the Altar Call to give and rededicate their lives to the LORD Jesus Christ. No! Apparently, they represent the number of people in attendance at each of the three services with the corresponding money collections realised.         They were not concerned about the souls that came out hungry for God! I was saddened by their excitement. They were not excited about the souls that came into the Kingdom of God; rather, they were rejoicing about their egos, ranks and bank a...

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 the...

...And His Name Was Nabal

       We live in a world that has short-term memory. The memory life span of many is so short, that mistakes and circumstances that brought them sorrow are repeated without a thought to the fact that what they are doing they had done before with dire consequences. As a result of this attitude, many have grown more wilful towards the things of God. One of the signs of the end time, according to 2 Timothy 3, is people being ungrateful. Being ungrateful means not showing gratitude for help, gifts or kindness they received; a feeling of entitlement to whatever they think they have received.         Being ungrateful is a state of mind that believes that the good things that happen to them is deserving, and they do not see any reason to be thankful for them. So was the case of a man named Nabal (which means 'Fool') in the Bible. He was a harsh and evil man in his dealings, yet a very wealthy man in the region he lived in. From the account of his l...
