Checking into His Presence...
The concept that God controls everything and that no one can do without Him remains poignant and undebatable. Many are still caught wondering why in spite of the preachings, teachings, encouragement and overwhelming display of His might in all His creation, this message has not sunk in yet. Many are quick to claim they have heard about God and quite rightly they are still learning about Him. But do they really know about God? When you have met, learnt and read about Him, it is important to treat Him as per His name because He is God who is faithful and can keep covenant unto many generations to come. The good news is, if you have Him, He can turn the heart of kings to favour you, no matter what! Therefore, when God gives messages, instructions and prophecies, they are meant to strengthen each and every one until the fulfilment of those messages. What happens in between the fulfilment determines who you are before Him. As time goes on, efforts should be made not to allow the potency of the message to wane even where tribulations comes in between the processes. You must remember that God is a covenant keeping God. Doubts and fear belongs to Satan whilst faith belongs to God.
All God wants from you is to trust in Him. You may not believe, God is able to do what He said concerning your life and we should not worry about what God has promised concerning our lives. There is always clear evidence that God has delivered on them; only we must be very cheerful in order to receive them. Therefore, "trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom. For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house. Therefore I will look unto the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me" (Micah 7:5-7). Today, God wants witnesses for His Kingdom and you have to believe in Him, trust in Him and also hope in faithfulness. Would you then give Him a chance so He can deliver on His promises? "The Lord answered me, and said, write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie:…(Habakkuk 2:2-4)
Father, You are the only One who can see the end from the beginning; we do know that Your desire is to make us witnesses unto Your Holy name by the power of the conviction we have received by Your Spirit. Make us today witnesses unto Your Divine Status so that many can be brought to the Feet of Your Cross in Jesus name. Amen

Is it really true that mankind is totally dependent on the existence of God to live? Is it odd to assume the Spirit of God is the source of life and man would not have been able to come into existence without God's Spirit? Job 33:4. How dependent are you on the Spirit of God? Apart from the spirit of self-justification, does your understanding of God's theory emanate from the true assessment of your achievements, your beauty, your riches or upon your "Calling" and possibly the size of your congregation? If the answer to these is yes, have you truly assessed the declaration of Elihu in Job 32:7-9? These states "Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom. But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding. Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment".
As you embark on another journey today in the presence of the Lord, what will be your inspiration? Is it going to be all about your age? What spirit will operate inside you, the Spirit of God or that of man? I encourage you therefore, to hear my words those who proclaimed to have given their lives unto God because you now have the knowledge of Christ. You must know that both ear and eye tests words as much as the tongue tastes food. Come, taste and know that the Lord is good. Behold God is mighty in strength, understanding and does not withdraw His eyes from the righteous. Job 36:5-33 God "Indeed, will draw us away from the brink of distress to a spacious place without constraints, filling our festive table with bountiful food. Amen (Job 36:16)

Everyday matters but does each day matter anymore? Let us look back to when God began to create the world, He did it with style, precision, enthusiasm and purpose until His accomplishment became a true revelation. There was a pattern which was subsidiary to none in His approach. Indirectly, God seemingly opened up a story book for man to evolve and then dominate His good work.
If God knows everything and can achieve all things; then nothing should have stood in obscurity before Him, He must have known beforehand what will happen to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. "For His eyes are upon the ways of a man, and He sees all his steps." (Job 34:21) Needless to say that God had the option to stop His creation just before the reign of men was introduced.
God did not do that because His sole aim of creation is for men and women to honour and praise Him. It does not matter how, when and where they have committed sin; so long they can they can be reconciled back to Him with the hope they will not be found in the path of sinners again.
There is therefore an abundance of grace in the story of every day. Such grace empowers you to choose rightly according to the demands of God; but don't forget that the grace also reduces the power of God to the position of an Onlooker when we wilfully and clandestinely choose to dive and swim into the pool of sin-very much like how the Lord looked on as Adam and Eve fell grossly into sin. (Genesis 3)
Your mercies are forever new every day, we also know you can do and achieve all things; therefore let Your power brings us to You daily so we can be called Your Own in Jesus name. Amen

Today, I would like to intimate you with a statement I found on my daughter's wall which caught my attention-'Our acts can be no wiser than our thoughts. Our thinking can be no wiser than our understanding'. It made me ponder and ask if indeed our acts can be wiser than our thoughts and or our thinking wiser than our understanding. I came to the conclusion that if only we can decipher meaningful answers to this question, we will also enjoy the daily eruption of God's Grace upon our endeavours according to Lamentation 3:19-23
Make today count therefore in your Kingdom race. Let your thoughts take control of your actions by allowing your understanding to reign over your thoughts and not the other way round. It is the only way we can be able to build a wall of righteousness around us. And so shall it be. Amen

Anyone can wear the cross as necklace mainly to signify their religion. It can be in silver or gold and even laced with diamonds. But does that mean you can carry His cross also? The answer no, unless you are prepared to offer as sacrifice unto God your life to be used wholly by Him. That is the only method that can testify to the way you wear your Christ and not through any emblem of Christ.
O Lord our Redeemer, we pray for Your Kindness upon us. Let what we do before you are linked to Your Holiness in Jesus name. Amen

As we march within His daily Grace, I encourage you to see each day as a living library. Only in this case, I am not talking about a building where you have access to a collection of books, films and periodicals. But a day where we all have access to a collection of the Lord’s Grace which is richly reserved for only those whose ethos matches that of His Righteousness according to Deuteronomy 4:4
And so, today is another library opened for the dispensation of His Grace. What you earn as a result depends very largely upon how well you can hold unto God in this perilous time. (1 Timothy 4:1, 2 Timothy 3:1 and Jude 1:18) Now that the Library is opened, what do you intend to search for? Unlimited Grace or the mundane things of this world which can be classified as vanity? (Ecclesiastes 1:14, 17)
Our Father Who art in Heaven, give us this day with all its benefits. Also make it an inheritance for us in Your Kingdom in Jesus name. Amen

To really live and dine with God requires a great attitude in faith and righteousness. Where will your attitude take you? The unchecked provision of Grace by God without the right attitude often brings disaster. Very much like the story of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15: 11-32.
So today, I implore you to check your attitude before it becomes swollen. Bring your attitude back if it is running unchecked and away from you.
I pray for the grace of God to rebuild the right attitude in us. Let His strength sustain our attitude where it is necessary so that we do not fall from our position of Grace. Amen
