Checking into God’s Presence... “And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the first fruits for a wave offering before the Lord, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the Lord for the priest. And ye shall proclaim on the self-same day, that it may be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work therein: it shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations. And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I am the Lord your God. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a Sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.” Leviticus 23:20-24 It is the first day of the month, and we are privileged by Your grace, oh Lord, to enjoy Your Presence even in the seventh month. We realised that some did not make it this far. But quite briefly, the bible describes everyone as imperfect. “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:”-Romans 3:10 and “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”-Romans 3:23 Apostles Paul also admonished us on how to maintain Godly relationship in Roman 15:1-2: “We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.” Unto Moses Thou declared: “I am the Lord your God. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a Sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation”. Help us, therefore, oh Lord, that when we reap the harvest of our land, we shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of our field when we reap. You are the Lord; teach us not to gather any gleaning from our harvest: but empower us to leave them purposely for the poor, the widows and the strangers according to Your commandments. We pray for peace in our households, workplaces and the Church of God. “May they prosper who loves us, may peace be within our walls and prosperity within our palaces for the sake of our brethren and companions: we will now say, “Peace be within us all.” Amen (Psalm 122:6-9) Just Checking into His Presence...

Checking into God’s Presence... “And it was so, that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication unto the Lord, he arose from before the altar of the Lord, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven. And he stood, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying, Blessed be the Lord, that hath given rest unto his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant. The Lord our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: let him not leave us, nor forsake us: That he may incline our hearts unto him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his judgments, which he commanded our fathers. And let these my words, wherewith I have made supplication before the Lord, be nigh unto the Lord our God day and night, that he maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel at all times, as the matter shall require: That all the people of the earth may know that the Lord is God and that there is none else. Let your heart, therefore, be perfect with the Lord our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.”1 King 8:54-61 We bless Your name, oh Lord, for we have come to the end of the first half of the year 2020. We beseech You to validate our trust in You and declare Your works in our lives. Give unto us rest from our labours in accordance to what You have promised. Indeed, not one word of Your good promise which You made through Moses, Your servant has failed. Therefore we plead that You will not leave and allow us to forsaken. Instead, ensure You incline our hearts unto the purpose of our creation and make us keep Your commandments, walk in Your ways, and obey the statutes Thou commanded through Abraham, Moses and David, our forefathers. As we wait patiently for Thee, oh Lord, bring us out of the horrible world pit and the miry clay. Instead, set our feet upon a rock that will establish our goings and comings. Put a new song in our mouth so we can give You praise. Also, incline Your Ear unto so You can hear our cries and empower us to always trust in the power of Your name: in Jesus name. Amen Just Checking into His Presence...

Checking into God’s Presence... “Sing unto the Lord, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people. For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the Lord made the heavens. Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. Give unto the Lord, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the Lord glory and strength. Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts. O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth. Say among the heathen that the Lord reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously. Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fullness thereof. Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice.” Psalm 96:2-12 We sing unto Thee oh Lord and bless Your Holy name; because all other gods of the nations are idols but You made the heavens. For Your oh Lord is great, and greatly shall You be praised so You can continuously show us Thy salvation from day today. Therefore, we plead with You, Lord, to declare Your glory among the heathens and wonders among all the people that fear You above all other gods. We will rejoice in Thy salvation oh Lord: therefore remember all our offerings and accept our burnt sacrifices. Grant us according to thine own heart, and fulfil all our counsel. Forgive us because of Your mercy and uphold us with Thy free Spirit. Forbid that our sins do not deprive us of Your restoration and infuse in us the privilege to be genuinely converted unto Your Holy Name. Untie our tongue and let them sing aloud of thy righteousness. Also, open Thou the treasures of Thy testimonies and purposely make our mouths to declare Thy praise through the glory apportioned unto us through the Blood of the Lamb in Jesus name. Amen Just Checking into His Presence...

Checking into God’s Presence... “But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 1:27-31 God treasures His workmanship, and the designs given to everyone became a masterpiece. With the power of His Might, God confirmed the creation of man to be the best of His works according to the declaration in the Book of Genesis 1: 26-28, which states: “ And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.” We must know therefore carry the Lord blessings because “of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.” Therefore I encourage you not to be afraid in Christ Jesus, for He is with us and can call everyone by our names. We only choose to follow Him, and He will always attend to her needs because He loves us, and we are His. Now we know “that the Lord saveth His anointed; He will hear him from His holy heaven with the saving strength of His right hand. Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God” in Jesus name. Amen. Just Checking into His Presence...

Checking into God’s Presence... “And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the Lord which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee: I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands. Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the children. And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.” Genesis 32:9-12 Father, we are “not worthy of the least of Your mercies, and of the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant.” With Your Might, we crossed through the darkness of the night into the mercy of another day. Deliver us, therefore, from the hand of our enemies and those who persecute us. Do well unto us and make our seeds as the sands of the seashore. When Thou said, all things are under You, empower us to accept this declaration that all things under heaven belong unto us through the power of Your might. We plead in accordance to the purpose of Your creation; for You to suppress all untimely death in our midst. With Your mercy, forgive and cast away all sinful deposits capable of drawing us into the pit of nothingness, sickness, unemployment, redundancies and any form of accident that can cause injuries and disability. Redeem us with Your favour, strengthen us with Your joy and let Your Holy Spirit dispel all challenges in a manner that will guarantee our breakthrough in Jesus Mighty Name.

Checking into God’s Presence... “And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect. And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying, As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee. And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God. And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.” Genesis 17:1-9 Are you living your life for the world to see that someone saved your soul and that Person was Jesus? Remember, “the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect” so He can make a covenant between him and Himself and then multiply Him exceedingly. God wanted Abraham to be in a perfect relationship with Him before He can make him incredibly fruitful. By so doing, God made nations of him so that kings also came out of him. God heard Abraham’s voice and claimed him as His choice, so today, I want you all to be still and know that the Lord near; sweet is His name, and it better than the morning flower with never-failing skills. Despite your condition, I implore you all not to be afraid of those challenges, for the Lord is with us, and you can always call Him by His name. God is saying to you today to come and follow Him, and He will establish His covenant between you and Himself. May God continue to be our God and keep the same covenant He had with Abraham with us. Let the seeds after us, and their generations from everlasting to everlasting bring to manifestation the Abrahamic covenant in our lives so God too can continue to keep us and the seeds after us in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen Just Checking into His Presence...

Checking into God’s Presence... “Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water? Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.” John 4:9-15 Jesus arrived silently into the life of the woman of Samaria to remove her fear and lifted her out of bondage just by giving her a Living Water. It was stated clearly in John 4:9 where “Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.” And that “whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.” Jesus spoke the Word to the life of the Samaria Woman so she can be able to stand, walk and live in freedom in this world. Her encounter with Jesus Christ led her to release from worldly troubles. She offered unto her the Living Water, which represented the inherent peace the world could not give her. Therefore, today, I encourage you all to call on the name of God so that the Lord can embrace your pain, just like the Samaria Woman. “May the Lord hear us in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend us; Send us help from the sanctuary, and strengthen us out of Zion in Jesus name.” (Psalm 20:2) Amen Just Checking into His Presence...
