Checking into God's Presence... "O sing unto the Lord a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory. The Lord hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen. He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise. Sing unto the Lord with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm. With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the Lord, the King. Let the sea roar, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together" Psalm 98:1-8 It is another welcome to a brand new year Children of God, and let us be bold to sing unto the Lord a new song; for He hath done marvellous things with His right hand. His supremacy hath gotten us this far; giving us the victory to outlive the previous year. The Lord guaranteed His mercy upon each and everyone so we can see the Year 2021. God had declared His righteousness before our enemies, and those who categorised themselves as the heathens of this world. For our namesake, and the process and the purpose of His salvation. Despite our arch-enemy's game plan, God had given us a new beginning that offers another opportunity to work on our Lukewarmness before Him. God wants us to start with Him afresh as the famous saying goes; you can always "start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible."-Francis of Assisi. This New Year, May the grace of God empowers us to begin and right the wrongs we have committed in our lives. We beseech Him to allow us to use this new chapter to rededicate our lives back unto Him so we can always make a joyful noise unto Him, oh Lord in all the earth. Through the rededication to Your services, make our hearts rejoice to sing praises unto You Lord and with powerful testimonies. And this New Year, let the sound of our dancing feet begins to make a joyful noise before Thee Lord from this day forward until the end of our lives in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk Just Checking into His Presence...

Checking into God's Presence...    "It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from this withdraw not thine hand: for he that feareth God shall come forth of them all. Wisdom strengthened the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city. For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not."-Ecclesiastes 7:18-20   Where has it all gone? See how the days have disappeared and the months melted before our eyes. Some were not that fortunate; echoing the same principle that whatever has a beginning will indeed have an end.  See; the same year we embarked upon so gleefully; is on its back and now is the time to look forward to another brand new year. In all of these, whosoever fears the Lord will always live to sing a new song; whether dead or alive. -"For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain". (Philippians 1:21) However, whatever we have achieved on earth; either good or bad will become history one day, so also any position we may have found ourselves.    God has not taken you this far for anything, other than he overall aim is to give you another opportunity to fear and serve Him purposefully, even before the life we so much cherish and longs to live in, evaporates before our eyes. Let us look back unto the withered year and remember those who have fallen along-side. In service, in giving, beauty, position and attributes; they were better off, but that didn't keep them alive. They fell as if God doesn't exist, but God understands every move and why individual leaves must drop from their branches. As we celebrate the end of the year today; let us begin to tread with caution because we may not be here for too long. Remember this saying-"wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city." Let today, therefore, bring the fear of the Lord back into your heart, using the knowledge you have acquired under the canopy of His love. Use this day, therefore, to withdraw your hands from hatred, jealousy, anger, heresies, tale-bearing, passing judgment and giving evil report capable of standing against the will of God. As well, do not consider yourself overtly righteous, "for there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not."   On this very last day in the year 2020, we beseech You, Lord, to infuse in us Your wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Strengthen our spiritual inclinations and capabilities; make them work and speak for You only. Give us the desire to withdraw our hands from doing evil and pass unto us the ability to love our neighbours, even where such love becomes unrequited. Above all, let us walk in the work of salvation, knowing fully well that no one is righteous, and there is none without sin, Amen. I want to congratulate you all on having been able to share in God's glory until this day. Thank you all for taking the time to read my posts, and for passing words of encouragement as we jointly check into His Presence in the year 2020, even in contributing financially to ensure Testimony Time lives on by His special Grace. And without you all, I won't be where I am today, your words of encouragement has given me comfort, courage, desire and hopes to forge on even amid so many hurdles, through the special grace of God. I, therefore, declare a Happy and prosperous New Year to you all, and may all that we ever wished for fall into our laps this coming year in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen  Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk   Just Checking into His Presence...

Checking into God's Presence... It is a faithful saying that- "there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." (Matthew 24:2) Therefore, Christians seek not to repose; instead, listen to the word of God and follow His commandments. "Since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it. For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it." (Hebrews 4:1-2) 2 Timothy 3:1 confirms-"that in the last days perilous times shall come. "But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus." Do we believe that: “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works"? (2 Timothy 3:14-17) As we celebrate the arrival of Jesus Christ into the scene some 2000 years ago today, may Jesus Christ be formed in us and His joy, riches, peace and breakthrough never depart from our lives. Wishing you a very merry Christmas in arrears with a prosperous incoming years in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk Just Checking into His Presence...

Checking into God's Presence...  As the year is drawing to a close; so too, we may have men and women of God whose faith has become lame just like the withering year. It is also not impossible to see these people portraying themselves as genuine Christian soldiers. Beyond the smokescreen that covers the ineptitude of fake practices, the overwhelming desire of every Christian should be on how to separate this belief from the overall assumption surrounding those who genuinely believe in God: and that is to undergo, and also explore the path that leads to righteousness. And so through the year, of what benefit have you been in God's service? What gift have you received in return for your good works? In truth, the world would always measure successes with only what the eyes can see. We must remember that to drop girds spiritually make issues which relate to the stronghold of the heart to weaken the strength in men. The commandments of God thereby become articles dragged, mutilated and despised purposefully for the kingdom of Satan to shine. For the grace we have received until now, let me challenge you to look back to this same period last year and question yourself about what you have achieved in God's presence. Before you begin to think on transient things, why not on those things that is Christ-like? Much more than you can count as gain on your stewardship both on earth and in heaven under the same name of Jesus Christ.  For "according to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain". Philippians 1: 20-21   “Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the gospel without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved" in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen (Philippians 1:27-28)  Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk    Just Checking into His Presence...

Checking into God's Presence...  It is another sequence of a new day in the presence of the Highest God to celebrate Christmas. Although our relationship with God may have been pretty ordinary, the Lord will always bring a new day even though we have all enjoyed the previous night.   The Lord will also allow the rain and the sun to come in their time, as long as we continue to remain in this world, and so festive seasons will come and go, as much as those who forgets themselves in the process of the enjoyment. We must therefore understand that the Lord sets those sequences as reference points for us to understand the power of His dominion so we can obey His Precepts.   Consequently, what can you use as reference points before Him as we look forward to a brand new year? In worship, in praise, in service, charity and righteousness, what do you need to improve upon? Can you use any of your conducts as a reference point for the Lord to change His mind on some individual decisions that you find detrimental to your living? Just like He did for King Hezekiah in Isaiah 38: 1-5   Let me therefore assure you that there is no relationship between you and God if you don't have a reference point. You can be religious in your attendance in places of worship and also enjoy the glitz of the highest title in sacred places. If your heart is not docile enough and remains weak in righteousness, there will be no cross-references between His Grace and your expression of worship. And pretty much, we will remain unworthy in God’s Presence. We have only just celebrated another Christmas oh God, and You have been our Saviour in ages past. Your Supremacy since then makes You our Reference Point until today. We, therefore, pray to You to allow Your Supremacy to strengthen us so we can from this festive period become reference points, just like Job explained in Job chapter 9 in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk   Just Checking into His Presence...

26th December 2020

Checking into God's Presence...  Again, Christmas Season is that time of the year that those who genuinely love God must learn to rededicate themselves to Him. That means they must learn to put God first and trust Him in all their affairs. If their hearts are, however, occupied with one thing, it should be to bear the reflection and the enthusiastic eagerness to love and trust God. As well, such expectation(s) should not go beyond one day at a time. So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."- Matthew 6:31-34. “For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ" -2 Peter 1:5-8. Therefore, "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7 And, as we celebrate this season, may Jesus be formed in us and the joy of this season never depart from our lives. I wish you a very merry Christmas in arrears with a wonderful celebration of the Boxing Day, and prosperous incoming years. May the reasons associated with the creation of the world, and the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ rests upon us now and always in Jesus Name. Amen Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk   Just Checking into His Presence...

Checking into God's Presence...  The spirit of Christmas is here once again, and no one can claim to have missed the impact of its celebration. The question is if we recognize the celebrant at the same time? Interestingly, part of the purpose of celebrating Christmas is because of the opportunity given to all men to forgive all wrongs/past errors. In a way, it provides the therapeutic knowledge which allows us to grow in the habit that suggests our sins are forgiven. Unbelievably too, it offers continuous courage to live our lives as genuine Christians. However, such courage should undoubtedly satisfy the in-built hope we have to live our life as genuine Christians. It incorporates the ardent wish for everyone to have their cup overflow with God's blessings: just by following His commandments. Believe you me; this kind of benefit attracts the possibility of achieving eternal glory. The Bible says in John 10:28-39 that "I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. The Father and I are one. As well, let us know that "the world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever". 1 John 2:17   You are the reason for this season oh Lord, we ask You will create in us a new heart where Your spirit can dwell upon us comfortably in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen  Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk   Just Checking into His Presence...

Checking into God's Presence... "And at midnight, Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed. And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled. But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here. Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house." Acts 16: 25-32 On this Christmas Eve, we have to realise that God has placed certain conditions on us to receive His help in time of needs. God's desire is to help His people in troubles if the sound of their type prayer can summon Him to act in their hours of needs. And so Paul and Silas too prayed "and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed". We plead in Your name to give us the courage to draw near You not only in prayers, but in thoughts and in deeds. Make us to cry out for Your help from the value of Your grace, protection and with the presence of Your Holy Spirit, and without ascribing other importance to any lesser gods. As we step out to enjoy Your prescribed riches for the Christmas Eve, let every closed door against our blessings open and remain open for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our Saviour. For indeed, every sin committed is always a living proof of the rejection of Your words of God: we therefore, pray against all prison doors brought upon us as a result of generational sins to open and the bands of limitation set to incapacitates us to become loosened on this Christmas Eve in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk Just Checking into His Presence...

Checking into God's Presence... " And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt. Now, therefore, be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life. For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest. And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt. "Genesis 45: 4-8 It is the twenty-third day in December, and as we look forward to celebrating the Christmas, I admonish you not to be grieved and or bother about any challenging situations you may be facing at the moment. We must remember that Joseph's faced some difficulties from the early stages of his life, and those challenges came out of hatred borne by members of His household. Ironically, God was aware of all the accounts and was with him throughout the whole ordeal. God's will was apparent upon Joseph, and he later introduced himself to his brethren in a foreign land; having emerged out of all the challenges through the amazing grace of our Lord. “And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt. Now, therefore, be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life."-Genesis 45: 4-8  Joseph, even with his turbulent times, remained connected to God. He retained the culture of worship and was apt in following God's will, God's way and God's Words. Joseph was also able to fulfil God's commission in a way that allowed those who contributed to his early challenges to be able to feed on him. The turnaround allowed him to profess: "God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt". As we step out today and share in the joy of another festive season oh Lord, show us the same favour that allowed Christ to come to the scene to deliver mankind from the stigma and the guilt of sins. Use Your Might to connect us to great men that will help us in fulfilling our destinies. We command in Your Name that You will break the yokes of the enemies, guide our wellbeing by Your Holy Spirit, and allow them to work according to Your command in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen Just Checking into His Presence...

Checking into God’s Presence...  This festive season, and as Children of God, we must always remember that God doesn’t love us because of who we are. God loves us pretty much because of who He is, and nothing can change that. We must humble ourselves and appreciate God in whatever position we may find ourselves. Aside, we must be thirsty and willing to drink from the water of life as prepared by our Lord Jesus Christ for the Lord to make us rejoice over our enemies; just like King Jehoshaphat in the Book of 2 Chronicles 20: 26-30  “And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah; for there they blessed the Lord: therefore the name of the same place was called, The valley of Berachah, unto this day.   Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in the forefront of them, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for the Lord had made them to rejoice over their enemies. And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets unto the house of the Lord. And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries when they had heard that the Lord fought against the enemies of Israel. So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet: for his God gave him rest round about.” 2 Chronicles 20: 26-30  With the saving Strengths of God’s power; King Jehoshaphat was able to return to Jerusalem with psalteries, harps and trumpets unto the house of the Lord because of the victory he enjoyed. This new status brought renewed fear of God to all the kingdoms of those countries when they learnt how the Lord fought against the enemies of Israel. God, made the realm of Jehoshaphat to be peaceful and gave him rest round about upon all his endeavours. Our Father who art in heaven; and hallowed be Thy name; we plead at this festive season, and through Your love to humanity to give us the Holy Spirit that will infuse Your peace in our lives. Bring upon us a new status that will infuse fear on those who have decided to bring about our downfall. Let Your love for the creation by sending Your only Begotten Son to the world guarantee our joy roundabout, and allow Thy word to order our steps so we can always fear and walk according to Your statutes in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen  Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk Just Checking into His Presence...

Checking into God's Presence...  "Then upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, came the Spirit of the Lord in the midst of the congregation; And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the Lord unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's. Tomorrow go ye down against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the brook, before the wilderness of Jeruel. Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you. And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the Lord, worshipping the Lord." 2 Chronicles 20: 14-18  At this season of Christmas, and you believed that God indeed formed Thee, most assuredly He must be aware of what we are going through. All the Lord requires from us is the ability to trust Him so that He can lead us out of every storm of life. If we follow Him rightfully, we will not need to fight in any battle set against ourselves by any means. It is only then that we will be able to stand still and see the salvation of the Lord that resides solely within the hearts of those who truly trust Him and have decided to follow His commandments. Therefore, fear not and do not be dismayed. God is ahead of any journey we may try to undertake, including every storm that may arise therein, and He is also prepared to work against what troubles us, provided we rely on Him and do not faint in the process. This festive Season, let our conscience be alive oh Lord so we can see the nakedness in our hearts and conform to Your ways. Revive the barrenness in our trustworthiness, and allow Your transformation to take absolute control of our lives. Do allow Your might to empower so we can dwell only within the confines of the gates of light for us to always receive Your grace in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk Just Checking into His Presence...

Checking into God’s Presence...  “It came to pass after this also, that the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them other beside the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle. Then there came some that told Jehoshaphat, saying, There cometh a great multitude against thee from beyond the sea on this side Syria; and, behold, they be in Hazazontamar, which is Engedi. And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the Lord, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. And Judah gathered themselves together, to ask help of the Lord: even out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek the Lord. And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord, before the new court, And said, O Lord God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee?” 2 Chronicles 20: 2-6 You may not know, and you may also pretend not to know that in life we are always bound to face some challenges, and that is irrespective of who we are. Interestingly; no one is exempt from this assumption so far that all days are around the night and the day time marred with different seasons according to Ecclesiastes 3: 1-4. And it states-“To everything, there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; Often, the definition of life for each individual depends mainly on the reaction that comes our way as we tread through the intricacies of life as described in the above passage. Some 2000 years ago, Jehoshaphat was faced with life challenging circumstance when the children of Ammon came against him to battle. Despite all the threat and anxieties, Jehoshaphat did not entertain any fear; instead, he set himself to seek the Lord. Not only that, but he also invited the generality of the people of Judah to join him whilst proclaiming a fast throughout the region. Indeed, God answered their prayers. Empower us oh Lord to be able to stand before You like Jehoshaphat and the people of Judah and pray to You O Lord God of our fathers and declare: “art not thou God in heaven? And rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? And in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none can withstand thee? Use Your that same power to deliver us now always in Jesus name. Amen  Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk Just Checking into His Presence...

Checking into God's Presence... "Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. But in a great house, there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. If a man, therefore, purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work. Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will. ." 2 Timothy 2:19-26 The end of the year is nigh, what did you plan for today, and how do you intend to go about it?  Those inner yearnings of yours; are they tailored according to the dictates of the Lord's commandments? Remember in all of your planning you must keep abreast the principle that "the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are His. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity". And that "in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. If a man, therefore, purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work." To be fit for the work of God in accordance to His taste, those who serve the Lord wholeheartedly must be able to "flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart." And also that "the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves" Give us the grace to encounter the perfection in Your Holy Name, which will take us away from the snare of the devil. Remove and liberate us from the tactics of the evil ones that may have taken us captive, and against our will. Let Your power, guide us away from all foolish babblings that constitute unlearned and unholy questions. Instead teach, lead and empower us to be able to avoid them all: knowing they will all produce unnecessary quarrels in Jesus Name.

Checking into God’s Presence... “But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm. And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets; and they shall be to you for an ordinance for ever throughout your generations. And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the Lord your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies. Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the Lord your God. And it came to pass on the twentieth day of the second month, in the second year, that the cloud was taken up from off the tabernacle of the testimony.” Numbers 10:7-11. There is a condition which God placed on everyone for His help to in the time of our needs. God desires to help His people who are called by His name can summon the courage to sound their trumpets in prayer, by fasting and by using thanksgiving to address Him at all times. Significantly, what the Lord wants from us is to draw near Him merely by using the methods described above. Now that we know let us cry out for His help so we can receive our divine breakthrough and protection granted by His grace. Make the relationship we hold for Your name ardent and capable of shunning vain labour that satisfies the desires, which increases the tendency to partner with more ungodliness. In that: on different occasions oh Lord; we have individually chosen to be called after Your Name, therefore declare us fit for the purpose by Your Holy Spirit. Cleanse us and make us “flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart” 2 Timothy 2:22. And may the grace to know God’s conditions through Your Word, and the ability to be obedient to them so we can receive appropriate help when and where necessary be our portion in Jesus Mighty Name.

He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge." James 4:11 “For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. Go to now, ye that say, Today or tomorrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: “Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil. Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin". Oh Lord, we acknowledge that our fleshy nature may simply refuse to listen to Your voice. Often we are led by the spirit man to return to our old ways, speak unto them with Your Spirit and burst the bonds between our arc enemy Satan so we can enter into Your glory. Make us to know Your way and to fear You and the judgment of Thine Hand. Empower us to continue to witness the abundance of grace in Your Name as we approach the end of the year in Jesus Mighty Name.

Checking into God’s Presence...  “Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it. And though they say, The Lord liveth; surely they swear falsely. O Lord, are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return. Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the Lord, nor the judgment of their God. I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they have known the way of the Lord, and the judgment of their God: but these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds”. Jeremiah 5: 1-5 Father, we plead through the graciousness in Your name to discover and repackage us with Your mercy so we can run through our errands without any hitch as we parade ourselves going to and fro on the streets of life. Empower us to seek Thee in rightful places and consider us to be able to execute judgment that runs with delight after the words of truth while You also pardon our transgressions: are not thine eyes upon the truth O Lord? Rightly too; Thou have been living from everlasting to everlasting; therefore consider us as insufficient so You can continuously bless us. Remove our hearts from the foolish things of this world so we can always perform in the ways of Thee oh Lord. Grieve the hearts of those who had sworn falsely against us, for Your Sake make them not to refuse correction even when they have made their faces harder than a rock. Persuade their hearts with Your might so they can receive divine turn around in their ways. Cause every closed door running against Your blessings in our lives to open and decree that they will never close again. We declare freedom unto those in captivity; we beseech Thee to allow their prison doors to open and the bands in their hands to loose in Jesus Name.

Checking into God’s Presence...  And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them and will bring them again to their folds, and they shall be fruitful and increase. And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the Lord. Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. In his days, Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, The Lord Our Righteousness. Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that they shall no more say, The Lord liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; But, The Lord liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them, and they shall dwell in their own land.” Jeremiah 23:3-8. Judah was earlier unrighteous, and this prophecy came through Prophet Jeremiah to pronounce their freedom-“in his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, the Lord our Righteousness” Jeremiah 23:6. The Lord gathered the remnant of their flock out of the countries they have been driven out and brought them back to their folds. The Lord planned to make them fruitful again and watch them increase.  Part of the freedom packages God gave Judah entails the setting up of shepherds over them so they can be fed and fear no more. He empowered them not to be dismayed and surfer any lacks.  We, therefore, reach out to You oh Lord for Your guidance; show us which way to turn by speaking into our minds. Strengthen us and do not allow us to falter and feel weary. Make us feel Your strength rising within our hearts and bring clarity into our visions and dreams. Let us be able to trust in You oh God no matter where we go and on whatever we decide to do because You are The Lord of our Righteousness in Jesus Name Amen.

There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength. A horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength. Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. Our soul waiteth for the Lord: he is our help and our shield. For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name. Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.” Psalm 33:14-22 Our soul waiteth unto Thee oh Lord our Maker we plead unto You to become our help and our shield because we have trusted in Your Holy name. Let our heart begin to rejoice in You. King David proclaimed Your Might and said: we should “behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy”. Today; we declare our hope in the power of Your mercy out of the fear we have for Your name. We beseech Thee to deliver our souls from death and to keep us alive in case there is any famine. Let Thy mercy O Lord be upon us according to the hope we have in Thee in Jesus name. Amen Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk Just Checking into His Presence...

I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth, but God that giveth the increase. Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. According to the grace of God, which is given unto me, as a wise master builder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man builds upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abides which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 1 Corinthians 3:5-16 Oh Lord our God Almighty; if indeed "every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abides which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward"- We "know we are the temple of God and the Spirit of God dwelleth in us": may the One who is Success to Himself wrap our lives with overall success in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ. We plead to You to allow Your Eyes that see when no one is mindful of Your presence to begin to watch over us. We ask You to meet our heart desires because You are the One who knows what we can't tell the closest person around us. May the One who is the Eternal Light never allow darkness to cover our glory, and the One who fought for the Israelites will also continue to fight for us and grant us victory in Jesus Name.

Checking into His Presence... “Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright. Praise the Lord with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings. Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise. For the word of the Lord is right, and all his works are done in truth. He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord. By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses. Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast. The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect. The counsel of the Lord standeth forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.” Psalm 33:1-12 King David says in Psalm 33, verses one and two that we should “rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright. Praise the Lord with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings. Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise. For the word of the Lord is right, and all his works are done in truth.” And so today I want to encourage you to make a joyful noise to the Owner of your soul, the I am that I am, the Ancient of Days, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, our everlasting Father. Through Your praise, I encourage you all to give honour unto the Mighty Saviour, the glorious Redeemer, the Merciful God, the unchangeable changer and helper of helpless. As we praise Him, let our lines begin to fall in pleasant places so that things will start to work in our favour. May we go higher to take over our blessing, as we move forward from glory to glory, we shall also receive the expansion that is necessary for our territories to shine for the glory of the Lord Almighty in Jesus Mighty Name.

Checking into God's Presence... "But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one, the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. For as by one man's disobedience, many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Moreover, the law entered that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so, might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 5:15-21 In the run up to Christmas, what guilt are you suffering from, and of which sin have you been belaboured in Christ? Remember the words of Prophet Ezekiel which state- "The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the Father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done, he shall live. Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord God: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?" Ezekiel 18: 20-23 Therefore, let me assure you that "where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so, might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord". I, therefore, pray for the grace of the Almighty God to command His Angels to roll away every sin that gathers to form any stumbling blocks to our progress, even as we approach the year 2021. May the grace of our Father in heaven be dispatched and reign through the abundant gifts of His righteousness upon us unto eternal life by Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour.

Checking into God’s Presence... Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.” Romans 5:1-11 “Being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.” Our father Who hath in heaven, hallowed be Thy name: remember Thou sends forth Your commandment upon the earth, and Your word runneth smoothly and very swiftly too. Nations have been known not to perceive Your judgments, and they have continuously given You praise. Empower us, therefore, and make our souls fill with Your praise. Let our legs dance to the thrills of our testimonies, and our lips opened up for the words of Your testament so we can praise ye the Lord always in Jesus Mighty Name.

Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for a house of defence to save me. For thou art, my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy Name sake lead me and guide me. Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength. Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth. I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the Lord. I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities, And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room.” Psalm 31:1-8 God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, we beseech You to incline Your ears unto us so You can deliver us speedily. We have chosen to make You our rock and fortress oh Lord, therefore and for Thy Namesake: lead, guide and pull us out of the net that the enemies have laid with the intent to harm us. Bow down thine ear to our pleas for Thou art become our strength, and into Thine hand, we have committed our ways. Redeem us O Lord because You are the God of truth. We have put our trust in Thee; make us glad to be able to rejoice in Thy mercy. You consider our struggles amid our adversities oh Lord, choose with Thy power to set our feet in a large room.

Checking into God’s Presence...  ”God is jealous, and the Lord revengeth; the Lord revengeth, and is furious; the Lord will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies. The Lord is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the Lord hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth. The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein. Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? His fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him. The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him. But with an overrunning flood, he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies. What do ye imagine against the Lord? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time.” Nahum 1: 2-9 Today I want to ask this same question posed in Nahum 1: 9 which says: “what do ye imagine against the Lord? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time”. So what do ye imagine against the Lord concerning your fears, doubts, insecurity and all other forms of challenges? Remember “the Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.” Therefore, can you trust God with your doubts? Would you trade your waywardness with the value of God’s grace? What about following God’s injunctions; no matter what? Be aware that no one can stand before the Lord’s indignation; as well no one can abide in the fierceness of His anger. God’s fury can be poured out like fire; so also the rocks can be thrown down and the mountains quake at Him.  His presence melts the hills while the earth can be burned in His presence. Let the world, therefore, and all that dwell therein magnify the Name of the Lord. Empower us oh Lord so we can submit our plans, fears, doubts and everything that surrounds us into the care of Your love; so You can give rest to our souls in Jesus Name.

Checking into God’s Presence... Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The Lord hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver hath he hid me; And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified. Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nought, and in vain: yet surely my judgment is with the Lord, and my work with my God. And now, saith the Lord that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the Lord, and my God shall be my strength.  And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth. Thus saith the Lord, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him, whom man despiseth, to him, whom the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the Lord that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose thee. Thus saith the Lord, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages;” Isaiah 49: 1-8 Lord, You have called us out our mother’s womb, and from the bowels of our mothers, You have made mention of our name. We plead not to allow us to labour in vain and spend our strength claiming to worship You in abject poverty. At this twelfth month of the year 2020, let our work and thoughts as the year is withering allow our efforts to be glorious before You and those who have mocked and also ridiculed us. May You continue to be our strength and the light that will restore and preserve our lives as we continue to worship Thee in Jesus Mighty Name.

Checking into God's Presence... But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort when I know your state. For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state. For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's. But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel. Him, therefore, I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me. But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly. Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellow soldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants. For he longed after you all and was full of heaviness because that ye had heard that he had been sick. For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow. I sent him, therefore, the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful. Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation: Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me." Philippians 2: 19-30 It is so true that Christians seek through their desires and not mainly from the things which are of Jesus Christ's. However, we know and also have the proof of Christ as a Son who now resides with His father. Nevertheless, it is only through Christ, we can all submit our pleas, even though God continually chooses to serve His warnings; from the instructions coming from the Holy Bible and through those who have decided to preach the gospel of Christ. Consequently, I pray to God Almighty, to dispatch His Angels and command them to roll away every stumbling block to our progress. God will allow them to pour a rain of abundance, of goodness, favour and mercy upon every aspect of our lives. I also pray for the miracle that will wipe away all tears and reverse the irreversible so we can burst into laughter and start to dance. I pray for those miracles to make our enemies accept our testimonies, and declare: the LORD has done great things for us. Make this our portion today oh Lord in Jesus Mighty Name.

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. Do all things without murmurings and disputings: That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain. Yea, and if I am offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all. For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me”. Philippians 2:8-18 Father we plead in Your name for You to empower us to be among those who You will shine as lights in the world to hold forth the word of life; Grant that we “do all things without murmurings and disputings” in Your House. Declare more glory into our lives when You bring us alive to into a new day and let us celebrate the day with Your thoughts in our hearts. Empower us oh Lord to work and walk under the dictates of Your statutes with honour and thanksgiving in our hearts. Also, move us away from the complaining camps and all sins capable of truncating our dreams and destinies that You might be blameless when it comes to judgement Day.  Render our attributes before You harmless to the things of the Spirit.

Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:” Philippians 2: 1-7 Know ye therefore that for those who worship the Lord there is consolation in serving Him through Jesus Christ. Let me also assure you that there is immediate comfort of love, joy, peace, victory and breakthrough as we fellowship with God with the assurances given by the Holy Spirit. Therefore and “if any bowels and mercies, Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind” towards each other as Jesus gave His soul to save humanity. I pray for the double portion of God’s anointment that fell on Prophet Elijah to descend upon us and for God to increase us in wisdom, knowledge and understanding. May we walk and not faint as we begin to entrust our lives, our time, our future and all that pertain to us into the hands of God. God has absolute control on the universe: by His grace, He guided us from the past even up until today; may He continue to guide us as we live in the present, and take everyone to their expected end so we can be guaranteed a very bright future. We want God to use His word and His grace to build us up as we commend our lives into His able Hand. And with riches in His name, may God give us victory over every device of the enemy, and with certainty, He will move us successfully into our glorious destiny. I, therefore, pronounce for us to have faith, pray fervently and constantly walk in obedience to God’s word, and also follow greatly whatever He commands us to do.
