Checking into Gods Presence... 

The year is withering and so is everything on this planet. If indeed this happens to us, very sadly and without admitting, we die daily! 1 Corinthians 15:31 states “I face death every day yes, just as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord”.

So, what are we doing with time? We must note in all of our whims, there is no easy access to the Throne of Grace without fighting against the temptations of the devil summed up within the distractions of this world. 

Joseph did not have it easy to receive the fulfilment of his destiny. He had to pass through the pit, to prison and then to palace. During that period he walked righteously with God and the Lord showed him mercy causing his dreams to come to fulfilment. 

Furthermore, there would have been no Israel if Jacob had been lenient with the Angel of the Lord in Genesis 32:22-32. And very clearly, Goliath would not have been defeated if David stood aloof and did nothing.

What would this life be if all you do is stare? The only constant thing is the Word of God which will last forever, so why not put your trust in Him? The evidences are He would not change/change position and that He fulfils what He had spoken. 

Hebrews 6:17 (http://biblehub.com/hebrews/6-17.htm) states “because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised, he confirmed it with an oath”. 

So why do we need to put our trust in things of this world that would fly away? God is not a man that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfil? (Numbers 23:19 (http://biblehub.com/numbers/23-19.htm))

May the Lord grant us the desire to seek and also embrace what is noble. This mid week will usher us in to the realm of His riches in Jesus Mighty name. Amen

Checking into Gods Presence... 

Praise Him without any limitations and irrespective of your condition! There must be no limitation in our standards of praise. This is because of the standard of grace we all enjoy. 

The only “standard limitation” set are in the area of our choices because whoever is born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God (1 John 3:9).

And this morning, what are your choices in His Presence taking into account the standard limitations of God? Remember, Cain was given limitations by God just like everyone else. He had the same power like us to choose between being hearer and doer of the Word. 

I am sure we marvelled as we read about his conduct. Directly or indirectly, it can be likened to that of a man who observes his natural face in a mirror, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was (James 1:24) as a result, he killed Abel! 

Genesis 4:8. Do we not follow the same principles of Cain? Let me reaffirm,  we don’t have to kill to be convicted of the same offence, even when we follow the standard common law test in the world today to examine most of our motives, using men’s rea or actus rea to determine the degree of guilt.

May the gracefulness attached to God’s name overwhelm our hearts and make us productive in  the service to man through His Name. Amen

Checking into Gods Presence... 

1 Corinthians 8:6 states “But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him”.

1 Timothy 2:5 also reaffirms this knowledge “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus”. As Christians therefore, I am very sure we practice our beliefs based on the assurance that we have One God and Jesus Christ is our mediator.

These are some of the mysteries surrounding the Works of God who must consider over a billion prayer requests at the same time. Give Him praise when you go through any condition. Move away from the complaining camps because you are not the only one with the direct link to His Throne of Mercy.

Why? We have seen righteous men and women fallen in sickness and in death, how much more you that constantly roam at the door of mercy without going into His Throne of Grace. You are neither here nor there, making the service unto Him as part of a fashion show, a ritual filled with lip service without any penitence from our guilty paths.

Today, make your choice wisely. The Lord is always waiting for you and we have His inheritance to gain. 1 John 1:9 states “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness”.

In this new week, may the Lord lead us with His Grace and give us the confidence to rely on His Words. Amen

Checking into Gods Presence...  

It is a great day already; irrespective of our conditions we can feel the greatness of God as a new day is ushered in through His works. The amazing thing is that no one has the power to stop Him in His strides! 

Therefore, when we see the morning drifting into afternoon and within our full glare, the evening takes over and separate the day from the night, we are forced to enjoy the Greatness of His kindness. 

These are all controlled by the Presence of only One God and so shall it be until eternity. “For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide even to the end”. Psalm 48:14

This Sunday, I will encourage you all to bring your concerns to Him through prayers and also maintain your divine status with Him as you respond to the challenges of unanswered prayers. 

Always remember His assurances in Psalm 23, particularly verse 3 which states “He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake” because the Lord cherishes His name and we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28)

Who can fight for God? James 4 enlightens “Why do you fight and argue among yourselves? Isn’t it because of your sinful longings? They fight inside you. Do you remember what Scripture says? The spirit that God caused to live in us wants us to belong only to God. Don’t you think Scripture has a reason for saying that? James 4:1&5

Yes! Because “God opposes those who are proud. But he gives grace to those who are not.” (Proverbs 3:34). You now have the choice to make amends today. Start by maintaining your divine relationship and His Grace will abound.

I pray for His presence in our lives to give us the power to outwit the power of Satan in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen

Checking into Gods Presence...  

This morning, it is all about praising God. Therefore, let us know that “God made the earth by his power; he founded the world by his wisdom and stretched out the heavens by his understanding” (Jeremiah 10:12). 

Although we may feel our prayers go nowhere; I can confirm they all go to the throne of Grace. As stated by Apostle John in Revelation 8:3 which states: “Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all God’s people, on the golden altar in front of the throne.”

Please also note that we have gone this far because of God’s grace and not by our strength!

May the Lord uplift our strength today through His Grace and grant us the benefits of those that diligently seek Him in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen

Checking into Gods Presence...  

Our time in His presence can be regarded as a plot of land called the Lord’s garden which we must learn to cultivate plant and nurture to the glory of the Lord. 

The common denominator is the time we are given, and according to many interpretation, this time is shrouded in mysteries because no one can determine for how long he/she have been given within this time to attend to the Lord’s Garden. 

This is one of the areas that show God as a Superior Being and we must all marvel at His Presence. What goes from you into the Lord’s Garden is of immense importance. 

For whatever you plant you will harvest and the harvest is not of this world. Genesis 8:22 states, “while the earth remained, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease”. 

Consider also John 4:35 which say “Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? Behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest”. 

So if the harvest is here all of the time and we reap what we sow into the Lord’s Garden with pleasure, and within the time allocated to us, so also our conduct before God will be harvested when our time is up in this world.

I therefore charge you to make a difference today, for the harvest is ripe already. The Harvest is nigh and the Lord is ready to give unto everyone according to his/her conducts, whether it is good or bad. Ecclesiastes 12:13-14

May the Lord increase our spiritual strength, knowledge, wisdom and give us the ability to follow Him greatly in His footsteps. Amen

Checking into God’s Presence…

God be the glory, and great things He hath done. I thank Him for His presence through the thick and thin, He is forever faithful.

To enjoy His righteousness, you must have the ability to move with Him. To experience His power, you must have followed in His footsteps. And to maintain your testimonies, you have to believe in Him constantly through the thick and thin.

May the Power of God lead us today and always. Do have a week full of the Lord's purpose. Amen
