Checking into Gods Presence... 

Today is all about individual differences. It is a topic we fail to understand even though wide ranging Universities devote their time in its studies. If we can have the study in the School of Education, I am sure it is in other field of studies too directly or indirectly, we have it embedded in different studies.

In the secular world, It has now become an important subject that employers have found a way to introduce in the employment laws to promote and stimulate motivation for their employees. 

To the employers, maximum output is only achievable where the employee works at his/her best. In other words, there must be linkage between all strata of the work force and each of them must work according to rules that will not undermine the effectiveness of other organs of the work force.

Apostle Paul was also clear about this method in his First Epistle to the Corinthians Chapter 12 where he took time to explain diversities in Spiritual Gifts. As we have individual differences in gifts of the Spirit so also we have them in other areas of live. 

The problem associated with diversities of gifts is how to harness them together and make them work for one glory either for God which is in a church or at Homes. Usually, this is not a problem at work places because the laws are very strict.

Homes have been turned into a burning furnace, whilst churches have been turned into a boxing arena. The head sees him/her as very special to the led and because of social awareness, insurrection sets in. 

That is the order of the day in today's homes and churches too. Food for thought! If we give room for individual differences, our homes and churches will become a better place because no two individual are the same. Even when they were born as twins, they will soon develop to have different qualities, all to the glory of God. 

Do have a mid week that is filled with the accomplishments of God in Jesus Mighty Name.Amen

Checking into Gods Presence...  

The Word of the Lord today is all about celebrating in our weaknesses. And without doubt, we all know what these are. If unsure, they are anything that is against the Fruits of the Spirit and Galatia 5:22-23 gives a summary of them.-

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law". Beloved, what weakness are we celebrating? What Spiritual revelation are you gloating over? 

Of all the sermons you have denounced, do you remember they spoke vehemently against those weaknesses of yours? Can you attest to the negative that your present situation is as a result of your inability to be able to turn the hands of the clock backwards?

David acknowledged his sins, he was penitent and pleads his case with God and Psalm 25:11 clearly treats his cause. “For the sake of your name, O Lord, forgive my iniquity, though it is great. The result was he was forgiven and also earned a title of "a man after God's heart" (1 Samuel 13:14).

To also show that salvation is separate and distinct from all works, let us cast our mind to the story of the Penitent Thief who received salvation in the full glare of death in Luke 23:40-43. This is to show God has the power to forgive all sins (Mark 2:10) irrespective.

Instead of celebrating in our weaknesses and glorifying in the Lord's distaste, let us rewind, redress and unwind from those weaknesses. Let us be remorseful and go back to the Lord like a Prodigal Son in Luke 15:11-32). 

He will forgive us and make us an heir of His kingdom, only if you will accept His gift of salvation. He is just the same Saviour the Penitent Thief had, the same God David had and the same merciful Lord of the Prodigal Son had. Will you not cry to Him for mercy today?

I pray for the wisdom of the Lord to lead and sustain us in the path of righteousness. May His mercy enrich our lives and fulfills our suplication in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen

Checking into Gods Presence...  

God being God, we have another opportunity to witness another week in our lives, for this I welcome and also congratulate each and every one, through His Gracious Grace.

Today, it is all about the progress we have achieved working and walking in His Presence since we all claimed to be Christians, let alone Born Again. I am aware that the Bible itself is a progressive revelation of One Man who is Jesus Christ through the illumination of the minds of men of God. 

The study of it shows the Breathe of God into their writings and we see the stories of Jesus Christ unfold from Genesis unto Revelation through the Hands of God.

So this day, I want to ask if you know Him. Have you met Him? Are you working for Him? Are you walking with Him? And are you waiting for Him? The attestation of both Simeon and Anna on the birth of our Lord Jesus did not just happen. It had a degree of timing which led to the fulfilment of the covenant of God upon them. 

So also the journey of Abraham with God! There was progression in the journey until the covenant of God became fulfilled upon Him. If we are claiming blessing from God such as that of Abraham, we must make progress in our knowledge of God and it must be steady in growth. 

Our position within this growth must not in any way retrogress. Let us remember what happened to Saul and why the Lord rejected him as King in 1 Samuel 15. It does not matter when and where you started knowing God. What is important is you don’t look back afterwards. 

Today is an opportunity to realign your steps with His. He has lots of rewards for your trouble. Start making progress in your knowledge of Him today and your peace is assured. He did to Simeon, Anna and Abraham to mention a few and yours is next, Amen

Do have a week full of the Lord’s mercy and breakthrough. Amen

Checking into Gods Presence...  

It is the very first Sunday within the twelfth month of this withering year and I give the Lord the glory for answering my prayers. I also welcome His faithfulness in my life with a heart full of praise.

As we share in the testimonies of God today, I congratulate each and every one for the fulfilment of the Lord’s promise upon us, which is the assurance given that “we shall not die but live and declare the works of the Lord” Psalm 118:17

I therefore pray that He will continue to give us the power to live to see another day for His Name Sake. As we go about today, He will be our shield and allow His mercies to lead us for greater testimonies in the run up to a brand new year in Jesus Mighty name. Amen

Checking into Gods Presence... 

It is the power of God that snatched us from the gates of death to be able to see this wonderful day. Give Him the Praise; acknowledge that as much the day is beautiful, some people are not privileged to be in it. That you are alive with all the night trials, still glorify His name. 

Know that weeping may endure for the night, joy cometh in the morning (Psalm 30:5). This is the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, a time sure to come like a thief in the night and nobody knows.

That is why there will always be a tomorrow to give us Hope and shows/instil the Presence of the Lord in our lives. So walk with Him with patience and know that when tomorrow comes, God will be in it with all His promises. 

Do have a weekend that is filled with the testimonies of our Lord in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen

Checking into Gods Presence... 

In my reminiscent as a young boy, I grew up in an environment where you can only put your arguments into words. Not where siblings slapped each other around. My parents were also very reluctant in using physical abuse to train us. 

During this period, each time when I was naughty, my sister would say the Lord sees me just to make sure she kept to the ground rules. A voice inside me would then say go inside the house to hide yourself so you can free from the effectiveness of this phrase. 

Unknowing to me then, I was deceiving myself. The Lord knows our beginning from the end (Isaiah 46:10) and nothing is hidden before Him. Are you with the same thought? Do you think you can escape from Him? What are your views in your present mode of worship in relation to your God?

Let me say without any doubt that you cannot hide from His Presence. He is the Silent Listener to every conversation and the Unseen Guest with every life. He comes quickly; His rewards are with Him to give unto every one according to his/her work. Revelation 22:12

Here is wishing you a happy new month of December. And l pray for the glory of God to lead us into the new year. Amen

Checking into Gods Presence... 

Congratulations! Yes, we made it! Not by our standard, or by our might. Or quite simply, it is not because of our look, riches, prayers, positions or influence, but because the Lord approved our desire to see this day. 

There is no immunity against death, even Christ died for us whilst we are still sinners (Roman 5:8) truly, and He is our friend. What a privilege to be associated with Him.

And on this day, as we go through with prayers unto our Lord God, choose to be His true friend. Not only by association with the Name, or through prayers but also in our conducts and in thoughts. Eschew anger, hatred and lust. 

Rather, embrace peace, love and seek righteousness. You will be offering a seat to God in your heart without knowing, thereby achieving the most elusive peace that many desire. Get real! And get connected to Christ. 

We can be in His presence without being connected to the throne of Grace. That offers no reward in live and in heaven. Let today be your turning point. The Lord is waiting for your call. It can only be to our advantage.

May the Lord lead us into His presence today. He will rekindle the Spirit to serve Him righteously iand establish His peace upon us now and always. Do have a fulfilling day in His Presence. Amen
