Checking into God’s Presence...  “In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness. 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. Feed us in the presence of our enemies and do not shut us up into the hand of the enemy in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen  Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk Just Checking into His Presence...

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. Amen Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk Just Checking into His Presence...

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. Amen Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk Just Checking into His Presence...

Checking into God’s Presence... “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His Namesake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” Psalm 23: 1-6 Let the heavens open for our sake today so we can experience God’s showers of blessings. I pray to God to give us the grace that will supply our needs in accordance with our expectations. Let the heavens and the earth cooperate to release their blessings as we ask the Lord to satisfy our souls with His goodness and mercy that will put an end to all forms of struggle in our lives. May the land we dwell on be a source of blessing and yield her increase so we can eat the good of the land. And surely goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of my life: so we can dwell in the house of the Lord forever and ever. Amen   Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk Just Checking into His Presence...

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. Amen Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk Just Checking into His Presence...

Checking into God’s Presence...  “And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 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. And let Your sons and daughters be without rebuke within this crooked and perverse nation so that we may rejoice in the day of Christ. Also, ensure we do not run or labour in vain within Your Kingdom errands in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk Just Checking into His Presence...

Checking into God’s Presence... ”If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 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. It is well with us in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk Just Checking into His Presence...
