Checking into God's Presence...   I will like to welcome you all to August against all odds. Please note that in every situation we may have endured, "we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord."-Romans 8:37-39  Father in Heaven; You have made us more than conquerors through Christ who strengthens us, allow that when we come through specific weaknesses; You will decree and assure us "that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord." In Romans 5:8, "God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." We, therefore, plead that Your righteousness will allow the overall purpose of Christ's death to come to manifestation upon our lives. "For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him": because we worship, praise, honour and serve Thee, we beseech You to remove our guilt, shame, reproach and cover us with such mercy from everlasting to everlasting. Let Your righteousness overwhelms even our children's children in Jesus Name. Amen  Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk   Just Checking into His Presence...

Checking into God's Presence... "He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. "1 John 5:12-15 Most assuredly, God has a plan for all prayers, and if we pray according to His will, He will answer if we believe in Him and channel our prayers through the Name of His Son Jesus Christ. The ethos pronounced in Jeremiah 33:3 says, "Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest". Jesus, therefore, will permanently be moved by our level of faith in Him: not tears, doubts or fear: but first, we must be able to act on His Word. A clear example relates to the story of the two blind men that followed Jesus Christ in Matthew 9:27. It states: "And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou son of David, have mercy on us." Even though they were crying and perhaps yelling; Jesus didn't say anything to them until He asked them, "Believe ye that I am able to do this? and they replied, "Yes, Lord, we believe" in Matthew 9:28. Then He touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you" (Matthew 9:29). Christ comes through the power of prayer and the trust we exercise in His Word. How well we can cry in worship or fellowship and or if we can entertain fear, tears and doubts do not matter. But the knowledge of bringing our prayer requests to God with faith, trust and belief in His Word will undoubtedly play a pivotal role to those who call themselves Christians.  Lead us, Heavenly Father and make us whole. We plead that You will remove tears, fear, and doubt, if any, from our lives. Give us the ability to listen and trust in the power in Your Word. Open up for Your sake the treasures of heaven and bless us with Your riches. Feed us with Your Living water so we shall thirst no more. Also, pronounce Your everlasting peace, joy, good health and long life upon everyone in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk Just Checking in to His Presence...

Checking into God's Presence... "Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting." Matthew 17: 19-21 A journey with God first starts with loving Him with all our hearts: as a child of God, would you believe that every sin we commit as individuals constitute living proof to the rejection of His word, and this will always negate the strength of the regard we have in His name? Jesus said, "Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you." Do you then prefer to tame Jesus to your needs or tame your lifestyle to suit Jesus way of life? Are you Christ disciples? Why then are you using the "Mind of God" syndrome to act? God will be God, no matter what, and He would not change His position to entertain any of our misdemeanours. Loving God requires having a healthy relationship with Him, and no one can do this without first loving their neighbours as themselves. Your love for God depends mainly on the true love you have for your neighbours. The obscurities are less obvious, and men will always pretend not to know what the Bible says about love concerning God and our neighbours. A similar message came in John 13:34-35: "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have loved one to another." If our faith is as little as a grain of mustard seed; we can say unto a mountain, "Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you." I pray we will consistently achieve and overcome all limitations. We shall receive breakthroughs to climb all mountains, cross all valleys and go through all rivers of life. And may we have no more discouragement or idleness in pursuing our goals and possess our possessions in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk Just Checking into His Presence...

Checking into God's Presence... "And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things. But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.  Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist. And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying, Lord, have mercy on my Son: for he is lunatic, and sore vexed: for oftentimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water. And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him. Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? Bring him hither to me. And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour." Matthew 17: 10-18 The salvation of men souls has been another focal point, apart from the overwhelming theme of Christ love to the world. Gaining salvation for our souls cannot be conferred as a title on anyone and by any means becomes automatically achievable. For this purpose Christ had come already, "and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them." Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist. God is the scriptwriter of our lives, and we have to partner with Him so long that the story of our lives continues. The story of Crete, according to Titus, was synonymous with troubles. Like Jesus Christ, Titus was willing to serve in the place without promoting his plan to bring strength and spiritual vitality to the city. Can I then ask- how much of the divine service are you willing to give unto Christ? Do remember that causing trouble is the only knowledge we can't acquire in the university. Therefore, Lord, we ask that You initiate us constantly with Your Spirit as you did unto Titus. Rebuke the devil for Your sake upon us, so we do not cause any trouble and or dent Your image in any way whatsoever. Command Satan to depart from our lives and cured us of any illness that is against salvation. Instead, give us the ability to add strength, vigour and vitality to your Church in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk Just Checking in to His Presence...

We are celebrating Joshua, three years on. There comes a time in life, When bye-bye becomes a goodnight  Money now rendered useless Beauty becomes pale Lullaby loses its taste Legs wilt, voices muted,  melted for the eternal reign, and Jokes and laughter has no more value For death has taken its course carelessly ramming itself Between the lines of our faith. To guide and or dent The very foundation of our faith let my pen speak of Your Might. As a child of God. But in our pain; empower us, Lord, to give all back to You  For we have enjoyed more riches from Thee No doubt, against those moments of despair. It is usually the pain that pushes us to You, Lord. In our times of joy;  You're always seated  At the back seat of our minds! Now the pain has pushed us to You today, oh Lord. And we remember Joshua. In Your greatness; swear by Your Name To comfort All that calls on Your Name. Empower us to stand tall In Your tabernacle, And once more Make our joy full to declare Your glory.  But grant Joshua the perpetual favour To sing amongst the Angels. Until the end of time Where we shall meet and part no more. Today, we boldly declare unto Joshua. Rest on with God's grace and in His kingdom.  In Jesus Mighty Name. Amen  You are still very dear in our hearts. Http://timetoreachmyheart.blogspot.co.uk Just Checking into His Presence...

Checking into God's Presence... For whosoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? As it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? So then faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God. But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world." Romans 10: 13-18 Call on Him, and He will answer you and show you great and mighty things that you have never seen or experienced before: "for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved". And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what good, acceptable and perfect will of God is. For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to believe but to think soberly according to as God hath dealt with every man the measure of faith. For "how then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? "So then faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God. But I say, have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world." Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that showeth mercy, with cheerfulness. Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;" And so help us God in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen  Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk Just Checking into His Presence...

Checking into God's Presence... And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain. So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees, And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times. And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man's hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down that the rain stops thee not. And it came to pass in the meanwhile, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode and went to Jezreel." 1 Kings 18: 41-45 Let there be showers of blessings in the Name of Jesus Christ. Our God is all in all and a sufficient God: He is the God and the King of the universe, when He chooses to close, no man can open, and when He opens, no one can shut. Through Prophet Elijah in 1 Kings 18:41, we saw the narratives leading to the manifestation of the power to Ahab the King. Elijah told Ahab by the power of the Almighty God to go and drink and even eat because he perceived from God that there would be no more famine: for heavy rain was about to ensue. And "Ahab went up to eat and to drink" according to the instruction given to him. Therefore, those who follow Christ must believe that God is the solution to every problem in life: only we have to trust, acknowledge, and work according to His commandments. With this in mind, I pray: that there will be no more famine in our lives, and we shall begin to experience total blessings. I announce God's abundant riches that will cancel all debts; for there will be no more weeping, gnashing of the teeth, and all sadness will disappear. We shall begin to experience progress in our exploits with great joy: in good health and with long life too. May we witness the impact of God's hand in every area of our lives, and there will be no more delay in achieving our goals. I decree through the same power of God that our enemies and their methods shall fail by all means. God too will grant us blessings that stir the heart, peace that suits the mind, happiness that lifts the spirit and divine glory that will last forever in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk Just Checking into His Presence...
