Desires, determination and success...

Testimony Time:-It is another good morning to everyone and let me quickly remind you all that today marks the end of one of the ember months. Coincidentally too, this new day announces the importance of a claim that we have just two valid months before 2016 is ushered in, but all in the presence of the Lord. In my message today, I want to remind all Christians that while chasing their desires within the determination to live and succeed, to be happy and live a peaceful life coupled with the assurances of the blessing of the Lord on their side: What those who attests to the powerful name of God must also not forget is-they must have the same willingness in their determination to accept the faith in Jesus Christ as prescribed through the Bible. John 3:18 says "Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God's one and only Son". Just wondering what else we want from God if we have the determination to live. Obviously, there are inherent dangers and challenges, if intrinsically we shun the drive to believe and have faith in Him Who only has the power to make us walk into our Promise. When troubles comes, ask yourself first, when crisis looms, ask yourself. And before you ask Jesus! Have you asked yourself? Then ask Jesus! It is only then you will gain the freedom to walk into your promise. Surely, there is absolutely nothing too hard for Him to accomplish. "I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?"-Jeremiah 32:27 Today, your pride may lie in the gifts of your daily existence. Remember, we die daily, although we may not notice. (1 Corinthians 15:31) We may rely on the power of our beauty, position,family, influence, wealth and any gifts God may have given to us. Just remember, we brought nothing into this world and nothing will be taken out. (1 Timothy 6:7) Or could it be wisdom, hearsay, backbiting, suspicion, lustful desires-including adultery and fornication, hatred, cheating, lies and greed-just to name a few. Remember, as much as God can love, so also He can disown if we choose to disown His Precepts. Matthew 10:33 states "But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven". God disowned Eve in Genesis 3:16 and Saul in 1 Samuel 13 & 15 when his position became a negative symbiosis to that of Samuel. Today, which way have you disowned God and in what pattern have you polluted the Words of truth? Before you continue to chase life recklessly, stop and consider if you have the same amount of determination in running after the Words of Truth, albeit in the name of God. Therefore today Lord, Make us holy by Your Truth; teach us Your Word, which is Truth. Amen (John 17:17) Just checking in into His Presence...
