Testimony Time:-It was the greatness in Abraham that gave him the title of "father of monotheism". In what that can be described as the first 75 years of Abraham's life, people around him believed in and also practiced polytheism which allowed them to make themselves gods in every attributes of their lives. In other words, Abraham was the first among his kindred to move away from such practices. He was so endowed that God gave him the understanding to come to the realization that there is only one God who governs everything; even his childlessness. From then onward, that knowledge began to structure everything he did; Abraham then was able to experience God in a newer dimension. As a result, Abraham was directed by God to move away from where everything was being governed by so many gods to a promised land that will understand the nature of His supremacy so that He too can fulfill covenant upon him; this was Canaan! (Genesis 12:1). And so in Genesis 17:1 "Abraham was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, "I am God Almighty; walk before me faithfully and be blameless". Let me therefore reassure you that you are not a finished product until we return back to our Maker to give account of our stewardship whilst in this world. "For God will bring every deeds into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil." (Ecclesiastes 12:14) Let us therefore begin to look at those little songs/hymn, every church services, sermons/preaching, write ups and all other activities geared towards the proclamation of the Supremacy of God as methods being used by God to move us away from sins. It covers without us knowing challenges of all nature and the possibilities where our lives are being governed and monitored by ephemeral spirits. Not only that, it offers the opportunity to drink from the water of life which is in Christ Jesus. "But whoever drinks of the water I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give Him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life."(John 4:14) When we are therefore called to true worship and in any true Christian gathering; the expectations must be reliant on these principles:- 1. Believe in the word of God according to the Bible and nothing else. 2. set us apart from the evil kingdom of the world-Romans 12:2 3. To link us with His mercy which is new everyday- Lamentations 3:23 4. To remind us to work before God like Abraham very righteously so that we can remain blameless.- Genesis 17:1 5. So that the constant Blood shed on Mount Calvary will not be in vain. This is against popular delusions that God’s wrath is not consistent with His goodness and the reason many now seek to banish it from their thoughts and the ability to 6. Offer and preach messages of peace with the purpose of winning souls for Christ.- Matthew 28:19 (just to mention a few) Any gathering which prohibits the above or use the above as a smokescreen for any other illicit acts should know without saying that they are still being led by legion of gods and there is no Christ in them. In Christ we profess and Christ we claim to know; let the Christ in us resonates the Son of God you are in Your name.

Testimony Time:-The thought that shivers through me tonight reaffirms the purpose behind every daily occurrences; each has purposely been set up by God to link us with every broken covenant so we can always reclaim all unfulfilled promises from His throne of Grace. Apostle Paul wrote- "Dear friends, you always followed my instructions when I was with you. And now that I am away, it is even more important. Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear. (Philippians 2:12) Your daily presence therefore can serve two purposes; you can receive the grace set up therein (Lamentations 3: 23) and you can also be saved by living your life as per the word of God. (James 1:22) How would you receive the day? For the purpose of being saved or just to receive the favors therein? You just cannot have one over the other, you either work to get both or you lose all and suffer the consequences. In our hearts we draw close to you. Before every eyes, our feet closely run after you. In worship, we are somewhat closer to you. Let our spirit work close with Yours so that we will enjoy unbroken relationship and covenant with You.

Testimony Time:-There can be absolute power in whatever we choose to control and or to dominate our lives. These attributes stem originally from what earns every individual enormous respect out of the ordinary things. However, and apart from the varying comforts derived from their dominance; If care is not taken what makes an individual so popular and relevant in life can also be misconstrued and used very wrongly even where ardent Christian eyes have been developed. In such manner, Christian developments would have been so reduced to a level where satan's effort on their attributes can now be seen to be very dominant. Are you therefore popular because of your pet, wealth, ministry, beauty or other gifts such as prophecy? What of the skills attributable to some sports and the ability to speak and write well? Does that has any bearing on what intoxicates you with power and beauty you may not have tomorrow? Quite naturally, many have been found to show more respect to all of the above mainly because of the fleeting comforts derived from each of the above gifts. Therefore "why should the living complain when punished for their sins? Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the LORD. Let us lift up our hearts and our hands to God in heaven, and say: “We have sinned and rebelled and you have not forgiven.“(Lamentations 39-41) We pray to You Father, empower us so much that what gives us joy would also not be the reasons for our failures in Your presence. Amen Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk http://timetoreachmyheart.blogspot.co.uk Just Checking into His Presence...

Testimony Time:-Ploughing truly? The business with God is determined by how true we are to His ways. Please note, God's plan for mankind is unchanged because we are truly His prized assets right from the beginning of creation. Genesis 1:32 confirms this theory-"God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning--the sixth day". No wonder Christ was brought in immediately as a ransom after the fall of man in the Garden of Eden. Of all ailments, poverty of the mind is the most difficult affairs of men to deal with. But in relations to the plans of God towards every mankind, we can no longer claim to be poverty stricken both in His word and His truth. I want to encourage you to begin to plough truly into the love of God from now; let people move away from showing more desires to love God through prayers, worship and kindness to neighbors only when they know they are going to die through one terminal illness or the other. Talking about God's love, we need to go back to the story of creation to remind ourselves about how God has placed so much investment upon us; we beseech you O God to empower us so that we can give back meaningful returns to Your investment in us in Jesus name. Amen Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk http://timetoreachmyheart.blogspot.co.uk Just Checking into His Presence...

Testimony Time:-Quotation for the day is from 2 Chronicle 7:14 which says "if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land" Are you called by God's name? Do you always humble yourself before men and in the presence of God? Have you been seeking the face of God righteously? Can you say categorically that you have eschewed and renounced every wicked ways in favor of the Ways of God? If the answers to the above can be in the affirmative; know that your sins are forgiven and you shall receive answers to your prayers. Not only that, the Lord is ready to heal all diseases, comfort the brokenhearted, recover every lost glory, bring back fruitfulness and grant peace where there had trouble in Jesus name. Amen And if for any reasons we have fallen short in any of the Lord's requirement, all is not lost! What the Lord wants from us while we still inhabit the fleshy nature is the desire to sin less and that may cannot make us to be sin free. Now that we have come to understand that everyday belongs to You and so is our fleshy nature; give us the empowerment to seek Thy face and also the desire to sin less before Thee in Jesus name. Amen Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk http://timetoreachmyheart.blogspot.co.uk Just Checking into His Presence...

Testimony Time:-.Psalm 119:160 states "The sum of your word is truth, and every one of your righteous rules endures forever." From this verse alone, we can infer that the presence of today alone is enough to establish the truth in the word of God that His kingdom rules forever. The truth in the word of God has been established even before the creation (Psalm 90:2); therefore going by John 8:32 which says-"then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free" then means we can only be free from the world troubles if we believe in His everlasting reign by abiding by the truthfulness of His word. God uses each day to remind us that the definition of His truthfulness relies so much on the fact that His Kingdom stands forever. His mercies maybe new everyday (Lamentation 3:23), the business with God is not just a one day affair but such that bears everlasting logo that requires the ability to seek, find and maintain His righteousness; great is His faithfulness. However, even if we live for just one day, we still cannot deny the truth in His words. Christian can therefore choose to run daily with the truth in God's word or go running with the truth of the world; presumably these may be what the Children of God considers to be the truth by definition: ultimately, these are attributes which run contrary to His word and often leads to crisis. Now that you know the truth which comes within the full glare of the presence of the day, let me assure you that it serves as a constant reminder of the Lord's greatness and those who cherish freedom from crisis will abide by its principles. How then do you want to run your day so you can be free from all burdens? The truth is we need to make a wise choice now because we only live once. May His grace instill in us the truth in His word. Amen Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk http://timetoreachmyheart.blogspot.co.uk Just Checking into His Presence...

Testimony Time:-In order for us to gain from the excavation of the mechanism of inheritance; Amos 5:4 says so much about the intention of the Lord for His children through the people of Israel which was "this is what the LORD says to Israel: "Seek Me and live!" These words directed to the people of Israel in those days are still very peculiar to the Christians of today because of the level of forgetfulness and our sinful nature. Kings were raised, Prophets were raised and indeed leaders were also raised to mentor, direct and guide the Israelite often in the way of God; and constantly Israelite found themselves in the pit of mire sins and it does not matter how many times those kings/Prophets and leaders were changed to suit them. In worship and because of sins, the Israelite always found themselves out of favor with God. Offerings were defiled, godly dressings re branded, fellowship given a new name and revival programs turned into a jamboree. Looking around today, the same principle applies to the system of worship now found with the newly tagged status of the born again Christians. The Israelite found out there were no gain in searching areas where God used to meet with His own people but now have been defiled and corrupted. It was God's intention to bring them back to Him by enjoining them to Seek Him in rightful places so they can find Him. Have you defiled your worship in any way? What of your place of worship and your mode of dressing? Do they match with the ordinances of God? Is your heart pure enough; enough for the spirit of God to reside? The word of the Lord today is "seek me and find me", let us know that there is life in meeting with this requirement; otherwise there can be serious repercussions. Empower us to seek you until we remain comfortable with your presence taking control of our lives.
