Checking into Gods Presence... 

Undoubtedly, we always have reasons to support our actions and it does not matter where such actions is leading. I am depressed where it involves men and women of God playing the "Mind of God Syndrome" 

We find ourselves speaking authoritatively about God and without any reservation. Some hides under the Spirit of God to confuse and pronounce hybrid statements, leading to impasse in many disagreements. And the Book of Job 36:28 says "Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out".

What we need to consider are the statements. Are they statements of peace or those that are prone to challenges? We must note, for we to experience the peace of God we must first embrace His peace and the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will begin to guard our hearts and our minds in Christ Jesus name. (Philippians 4:7)

Therefore beloved of Christ, do we embrace peace? Do we accept peace offerings when they are made? Are we fond of throwing the opportunities to make peace overboard using the "Mind of God"? If the repercussions are peaceful, God is in it, if not, we need to reconsider our ways and seek peace until it is in our court.

Stop playing the Mind of God Syndrome irrespective of your position. We will know when our actions will suffer from illicit gains. That is enough credence to show Satan is at work. I will encourage you to "Avoid evil and do good! Seek peace and pursue it!" (Psalm 34:14) 

I pray we will all have a glorious experience as we celebrate another weekend in His presence in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen

Checking into Gods Presence... 

Today's message is very simple and it concerns the use of our tongues. It is a weakness that has become so violent in recent times and it carries dangers that are very specific in nature. 

More than half of the World's problem would have been solved if only we can tame our tongues and the Epistle of James 3 deals so much about the subject. In Proverbs 18:21 also, the tongue is described as having the power of life and death.

There is a great divide between what we stand for as Christians and what we utter from our mouths. We are fond of forgetting who we are when we unleash untamed utterances from our mouth without minding the consequences. 

Many have been driven to the point of death; some have been alienated, while some have simply taking their own lives. We may not know the effects unless we are at the receiving end of such vulgar and dehumanizing statements.

I am humbled at how convenient we subdue ourselves with this weakness in the house of God. Many who came for salvation had been stigmatized. The only Epistle they know and read from could be just us (2 Corinthians 3: 2-3) and with that, they may be lost forever to the world. 

Not only that, the way we write about ourselves these days is very alarming, more on the social media using the name of Christ. Some also claimed to be Christ and a prophet that was ordained by God. Only God knows who is fooling who and what they would have done if there are no social media. 

They have never witnessed anything positive, except to snoop and write castigating comments about events and people alike without reasons. And If Christ is the key, Christ should be in it and that means there must be peace in it. 

For any of our actions, including utterances and write ups, Christ must be in it. It should be an Epistle that portrays the peace of God in us and also draw people unto Christ. 

As we look forward to ushering a brand new year, l pray to God to give us hearts that sees the goodness of God in all we do as opposed to condemnation.

Do have a fulfilling day in the presence of God today and always. Amen

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

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

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
