Checking into God's Presence... "And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed. And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled. But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here. Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway. And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house." Acts 16: 26-34 Are you a Child of God? Then do Thyself no harm: you are God's, and God is yours. Stop brooding over the bad things of this world: they will surely pass away, and the good times will come again. As Christians, we must go through some dark moments in our lives: it is only the strength of Christ in us that can see us through. Paul and Silas went through a narrowing experience for the sake of the Lord they serve. Being Romans, they were accused wrongfully of teaching unlawful customs; they were arrested and arraigned before the magistrate and sent to prison, but the Lord was with them. For their sake: "there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed." God proved Himself to be the hope for the hopeless. A helper who can lead us away from the shadows of the night and the dangers of the day. When life offered a bitter taste for Paul and Silas, God chose to become the light of their salvation based on the level of their faith in Him. The guards and the doors to their prison, including the chains in their hands, could not make them captive. Therefore let the Lord become the eyes through which we see from now. May God allow His purpose and will to ripe fast upon us while we enjoy His protection with every unfolding hour in our lives. Let us be able to rest in the power of Your Might oh God in Jesus name.

Checking into God's Presence... "And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." Matthew 5:2-16 As Children of God, do you know that God's promises to anyone can never be in vain? In that, God had already made His plan plain through His work from the beginning of creation. According to the Apostle Paul in Romans 1: 19-20 which states: "Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:" On the other hand, however, God is the only one that can interpret every sign and any results attributable to His work; and that includes the timing given to their manifestation. We must know that we "are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." And we pray for this light to shine brightly and rightfully upon us in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen    Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk Just Checking into His Presence...

Checking into God’s Presence...  “And the Lord visited Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did unto Sarah as he had spoken. For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him. And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac. And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him. And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him. And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me. And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born him a son in his old age.” Genesis 21:1-7 What have you been looking unto God, and what’s your impression about the time you had to wait? Do you think God is slow in bringing your needs to manifestation or that He has forgotten you completely? Let me assure you that Sarah, too, had the same impression in the Book of Genesis. The Bible recorded Sarah was 90 when she conceived Isaac while Abraham was a hundred years old. Both of them had the impression that conception was out of the question for Sarah because they have waited for a very long time. Along the line, Sarah had to bring in Hagar, the Egyptian slave of Sarah, to assist God and Abraham in childbearing. And this was against God’s original plan: Hagar conceived and bore a son named Ishmael. But in Genesis 21:1 that “the Lord visited Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did unto Sarah as he had spoken. For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.” Empower us oh Lord to always rely on Your strength, when we feel despaired, provide healing for the souls that dwell in shame and allow many to know Thy Name through the testimonies of their mouths. Let the blind in Spirit begin to see, and the lame in faith be encouraged to run free with the new strength found through their faith, and we pray Thee to give hope to those who remain blinded to Your riches. Let the unbelief in the state of their hearts do what You have decreed, and kick starts in their lives the assurances given to the validity in Your Name in Jesus Mighty Name.

Checking into God's Presence... And the Lord said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet. Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land. And I will harden Pharaoh's heart and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt. But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth mine armies, and my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments. And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord when I stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt and bring out the children of Israel from among them. And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded them, so did they." Exodus 7: 1-6 Despite the worldly trouble faced by Moses from Pharaoh, Thou still declared him a god upon Pharaoh. May the power of Your Might keep us above our enemies. Let us continue to worship You In faith, trust, hope and also believe in the plans and the thoughts that You have for us as in Jeremiah 29:11 It states- "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." On this new day Father that You have prepared for us, "there be many that say, Who will shew us any good? Lord, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us". Psalm 4:6 "Thou hast put gladness in our hearts, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased. We will all lie down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest us dwell in safety" Psalm 4:7-8 Therefore, let those who stand against us be in awe to the testimonies of our mouths. Teach us Your ways so we will sin no more. Make Your daily grace commune with our hearts even before we rise from our beds in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk Just Checking into His Presence...

Checking into God’s Presence... “And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.” Colossians 3:10-17 For Your sake, oh God put in us a new man and renew our knowledge in Thee and let us be removed from the bondage of sins. Thou sent Jesus Christ to this world to redeem those You have created from their deluge of sins, mould us therefore after the image of Christ. Let the treasures of heaven open for Your sake to declare peace, joy, long life and good health. From Your riches, establish new songs in our lives to guarantee renewed hope, faith and testimonies that will declare Your glory. Clothe us with Your bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering and give us the spirit to forbear and forgive one another. Above all, when we pick up quarrels against our neighbours: allow the spirit of love in Christ to overwhelm and forgive such a person. Please give us the honour to be able to practice charity to showcase the bond of perfection. Father, we pray for the peace of God to rule in our hearts, so we are called in one body. We beseech Thee to allow the word of Christ to dwell in us richly in all wisdom, teachings and by all standards. And whatsoever we do in word or deeds, let them all be in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Empower us to give thanks to God the Father and to choose Him as our only guide. Redeem us with Your spirit to declare Your Presence by using psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Constantly let us sing with grace and joy in our hearts to Thee oh Lord in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen  Happy Father’s Day to all fathers in the house. May we receive the joy of the Lord upon our children in Jesus Name.

Checking into God's Presence... "And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled. And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey; and they overtook him in the mount Gilead. And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.  Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount: and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mount of Gilead. And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters, as captives taken with the sword? Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away from me; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with harp? And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Thou hast now done foolishly in so doing. It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of your father spake unto me yester night, saying, Take thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad." Genesis 31: 22-29 Do you see God as your strength in times of trouble? Laban intended to allow Jacob to go away empty-handed after serving him. Still, God appeared unto Laban to correct this wrongdoing- “And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad." We pray unto You, Lord, to cause the plans and the assignment of the enemies to work in our favour. Help to satisfy our needs in times of trouble by removing pain, turbulence, calamities, unemployment, redundancies, and sickness of all kinds. With Your power, remove from our lives untimely death, suppression, oppression, hatred of all sorts and any form of sorrow. Moses was classified as nobody until Thou chose to empower him, and because he stammered, disbelief was on all faces. You used Moses for the sake of Your gracefulness and declared Your Might so that those who dithered, complained and dishonoured Your purpose in him became filled with awe, and You brought to nought their repulsions. As unto Moses and Jacob, we plead through Your Holy Name to make good people's perception about us today. Wash away our filth and cloth us with Your garments of honour. Pitch our tents within Your comfort zones and make us fruitful in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen  Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk Just Checking into His Presence...

Checking into God’s Presence... “And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation. He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. He hath helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.” Luke 1:45-55 Our Father and our Lord; through Prophet Isaiah, You declared in Isaiah 43:26 that: “Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.” Today we remind You about Your declarations to our forefathers- to Abraham, to David and Jacob and their seeds forever: to let Your mercy be upon us from generation to generation based on the fear we have for Your Name. Show us the strength in Your arm and scatter the imaginations of our enemies. Fill us so we do not thirst and hungry for good things. Also prevent us from going away empty-handed. For Your sake, disappoint the enemies who try to pull us down, help our children, remember Your mercy, and remove the mighty seats that look for their downfall. Exalt those whose relationship is having a setback and take them away from the low degree. Brighten their lives and give them reasons to laugh over every situation amid Your congregation in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk Just Checking into His Presence...
