Checking into Gods Presence... 

In my reminiscent as a young boy, I grew up in an environment where you can only put your arguments into words. Not where siblings slapped each other around. My parents were also very reluctant in using physical abuse to train us. 

During this period, each time when I was naughty, my sister would say the Lord sees me just to make sure she kept to the ground rules. A voice inside me would then say go inside the house to hide yourself so you can free from the effectiveness of this phrase. 

Unknowing to me then, I was deceiving myself. The Lord knows our beginning from the end (Isaiah 46:10) and nothing is hidden before Him. Are you with the same thought? Do you think you can escape from Him? What are your views in your present mode of worship in relation to your God?

Let me say without any doubt that you cannot hide from His Presence. He is the Silent Listener to every conversation and the Unseen Guest with every life. He comes quickly; His rewards are with Him to give unto every one according to his/her work. Revelation 22:12

Here is wishing you a happy new month of December. And l pray for the glory of God to lead us into the new year. Amen

Checking into Gods Presence... 

Congratulations! Yes, we made it! Not by our standard, or by our might. Or quite simply, it is not because of our look, riches, prayers, positions or influence, but because the Lord approved our desire to see this day. 

There is no immunity against death, even Christ died for us whilst we are still sinners (Roman 5:8) truly, and He is our friend. What a privilege to be associated with Him.

And on this day, as we go through with prayers unto our Lord God, choose to be His true friend. Not only by association with the Name, or through prayers but also in our conducts and in thoughts. Eschew anger, hatred and lust. 

Rather, embrace peace, love and seek righteousness. You will be offering a seat to God in your heart without knowing, thereby achieving the most elusive peace that many desire. Get real! And get connected to Christ. 

We can be in His presence without being connected to the throne of Grace. That offers no reward in live and in heaven. Let today be your turning point. The Lord is waiting for your call. It can only be to our advantage.

May the Lord lead us into His presence today. He will rekindle the Spirit to serve Him righteously iand establish His peace upon us now and always. Do have a fulfilling day in His Presence. Amen

It is another time to witness the glorious grace of our Lord and saviour. And now we are at liberty to enjoy the fullness of His grace in His Presence. The only snag is that it must be according to His Will and Purposes. 

In examining His Will and Purposes, a breakfast menu is brought before me to share within the knowledge of Christ and I am amazed about what stands out among the choices we have.

Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:30-32 gave a clearer explanation to the issue of Time and many finds the discussion filled with ambiguities. According to some noble thoughts, it is the world that grows old, not the people therein. 

Let it be known therefore that “we die daily” and must treat the time we share in this world with the knowledge of Christ even though many are being led astray by man's opinion of what the end time would be like. This confusion is working well for Satan as it also did some 2000 years ago when Christ was crucified for our sins whilst we are still sinners.

Christians know about the prophecies that say Satan will impersonate Christ and act as if he has come to bring peace to the world. (Isaiah 14:12-14, Matthew 24:23-27 and Revelation 16:14). Therefore the deceptions of the last days will surpass any that have come before, giving power to the antichrist which is sublimed in nature but potent enough to make the REAL CHRIST an antichrist. 

The “man of sin” “sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.”  (2 Thessalonian 2:3-4)  In order to put himself in the place of God, who is righteous and holy, the man of sin must claim to be righteous and holy while in reality opposed to righteousness”.

Within the time that you share in the presence of God daily, make a wise decision and allow the Christ to be in it. May Christ continue to lead us in His Presence. I pray we will all have a midweek that is filled with God’s plan, purpose and achievement in Jesus Mighty name. Amen

Checking into Gods Presence... 

It is all about an open invitation to worship the Lord this morning. (Jeremiah 29:13). He gave so much to prove His Love by giving us a platform to seek redemption for our sins through His Son Jesus Christ who died on the cross. 

All that is required is to believe in Him as stated in John 3:15 "That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life". Why then do we allow the world problems which are of Satan to bamboozle us? 

Where is the little faith that is required of you? Have you deposited them in brothels, pubs or with men and women of this world?  Is your alliance with any secret societies? Here is an open invitation to think about your present position with Christ, even when we enjoy faith as small as a mustard seed. 

Our presence before Him must be so aligned with His Purpose. Today therefore, begin to fear and keep His commandments. The rewards are GREAT! The expression of the gains cannot be clearer enough. 

Colossians 3:24" says it all "Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. Know you therefore, that as much as there are gains to enjoy, eternal judgement also awaits all. 

I am imploring you today to choose life by adhering to His precepts because His Laws are pure and simple (Psalm 19:7) and all hidden works will be brought to judgement, whether good or bad.(Ecclesiastes 12:14)

I pray for you all to have a great day filled the Lord's Purpose and success. Amen

In Matthew 28:18 we learnt “Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me”. And in (Isaiah 9:6), we also have in Christ a child that is born with a government placed on His shoulders. 

“He will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace”. This day, I am led to encourage you all to believe in His government so as to lead a meaningful life in the world of today.

Do you believe in His government? Do you believe Christ has a close knitted relationship with God the Father to make things happen for real? Matthew 3:17 describes the passion between their relationship - “And a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased”. 

Do you also know that a government is placed on His shoulders to take charge of our affairs? And that we have His government placed on us to listen, work and walk with Him. What we may not consider is when our responsibilities are diminished adhering to His principles, we reduce the fringe benefits attached to the Throne of Grace and we suffer as result.

In retrospect, we would have handed over the key to life unto Satan who then will begin to toy with our existence. Now is your chance to have a stable relationship with His government. If you can use your vote to get a Political Party of your choice to get into power and rule by all means, by all means serve a Living Father who can give rest to your soul and  I wish you “above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth”(3 John 1:2)

Do have a week that is filled with the Lord’s Mercy. Amen

The passage that came to mind today is 1 Corinthians 4:1-2 which states " This, then, is how you ought to regard us: as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the mysteries God has revealed. Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful".

How well do we measure in the true value of follower-ship of Christ? Whatever answer you have in your minds, let it resemble that which is stated in Matthew 5:16

And it states “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven"

I suppose we all know what our failings are. We also know the ruins many have delivered in the name of Christ. 

Many have claimed/claiming to be Christ, a Prophet of His and an Apostle of Him. But only God alone knows who His true followers are. Let it be known that the same way Christ was sent to the world, so also we have all been sent to lead our lives with Christ in it. 

John 17:18 as you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world"). 1 Timothy 3:1 states "This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work" Therefore, It is not so much about the office/your office, but about who you truly represent-a servant of Christ, an Apostle of Christ who stands to explain the mysteries surrounding the Works/Words of God through His divine inspiration. 

We must therefore be faithful unto man and God to get to that position/maintain the position.

It is not too late to seek the Lord. He comes knocking on your door all the time and only you can open the door. Without any doubt, a lot has to do with His personal invitation into your lives.

May the Grace of God lead us to invite Him today into our lives in Jesus name. Here is wishing you a happy Sunday and a day that is filled with the Lord’s testimonies in Jesus Name. Amen

With joy and a heart full of praise unto the Greatness of the Lord, I congratulate everyone for the blessing we have received through the presence of a new dawn. 

Whatever your beliefs are, please note that God is in every second we spend in this world and there is absolutely nothing He does not know about us. 

“Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether. Psalm 139:2-4

We are encouraged to be mindful of what we bear in our minds because we are always guided by the fruits of our thoughts. And if God is in our lives, He must also have the power to decipher which of our thoughts are worthless. 

“The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity. Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Lord, and teachest him out of thy law; That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked. For the Lord will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.” Psalm 94:11-14

Let it be known again and again that our thoughts determine whether we are of God or of Satan and we all know when we fall foul to our thoughts. Consequently, I am encouraging you to invite God into your hearts; make Him the owner of your souls and minds, think of His kingdom and things that are noble. 

Make Him supreme over your thoughts and emotions to ratify His faith in every dimension. Without knowing, you will give Satan and his henchmen stampede and they will worry you no more. Amen

Lord we give you praise, we acknowledge your greatness in our existence from day to days. And today, we invite you to take possession of our thoughts, guide our souls and minds and give our hearts peace. 

Draw them to you and give us the power to worship you in truth and holiness. As we go about today, let us be able to testify to your greatness in Jesus Mighty name. Amen
