Checking into Gods Presence... 

We must often take opportunities to assess how we have lived our lives until this moment. Have you fallen away from the principles of God and crumbled before His Presence? 

Today is a new day within a new week and without knowing we have entered into a new covenant with God. We can only be drawn into the enormity of His Presence if only we can abide by His Principles. 

Proverbs 3:5-6 states " Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." Therefore "it is not the things in the Bible that we don't understand that troubles us, but the things we do understand" 

How God guides then is His responsibility, ours is to keep within His principle. Let us be willingly trustful in Him and expects to reap from the Paradise of Delights. What is it going to be today? 

May the Grace of God eschew all unrighteous tendencies in us so we can enjoy the enormity of His Presence in the Paradise of Delights. Amen

Checking into Gods Presence... 

Evidently, it is by Grace we woke up today because many went through the same process last night but did not make it to this morning. This new day has already set us apart. 

However, we must also note that those who slept but did not wake up have finished their race and the act to encourage them to listen to the words of truth now ceases to exist. 

This morning, the Grace of God has empowered you "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—(Ephesians 2:8) and that is the truth of the gospel.

Now that you know the truth, it is no longer works; otherwise Grace is no longer Grace- (Romans 11:6). How much interest do you have in working with the truth and for the truth? 

Remember, many in the secular world would spend lots of money in search of the truth in any court of law, only to prove a point. John 8:32 says "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” Have you been set free indeed even though you are a good Christian in the eyes of men? 

We beseech You Lord to put our feet on the path of truthfulness so that in all we do, Your Grace will work with us and not against us in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen

Time is precious but how often do we number our days? Before you begin to flaunt your presence between the seeds of time built purposely around the Grace of God, I will encourage you to take caution. 

This is because for each minute that is gone, very slowly but most assuredly takes us to that final exist in this world. Time in itself is filled with certain mystery surrounding men and their inability to decipher the language of time. 

And the language now borders so much on the seed of time smeared between the uncertainties surrounding the fruits that are fruitful as against those whose tenure to germinate are already botched right the start. 

Therefore, the glamour that surrounds being young today or indeed being alive today does not put you in the same position tomorrow and that is if we faint not. This is because eventually one must grow old. 

And whatever stage you are, you must be rest assured that if you stay within The Lord's Time Frame, you will not be forsaken. Psalm 37:25 says "I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging for bread". 

Very succinctly, that is a Covenant between us and God. But how faithful are you in your modus operandi when it comes to righteousness? 

When we are in search of our daily needs Father, we beseech You to let our time in this world reflect your ordinances so that we can be part of your Kingdom in Heaven. Amen

Welcome to another freedom to live which has been given by God irrespective of age, colour, creed and sex. As good as it is, this freedom also includes the power on freedom to choose and that is a good thing which can happen to any individual. 

But very clearly, you may often find those who are drunk making right choices to stay alive and on the other hand, we may find those with all the right senses losing their lives under the same scenario. 

The question on choice, although freely given by God therefore reverberates through in all conducts. Deuteronomy 30:15-17 sees choice described in the following language. 

“See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; In that I command thee this day to love the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou may live and multiply: and the Lord thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it" 

Therefore brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.(Philippians 4:8) 

May the Grace of God lead us as we consider our options in the freedom of choices so that we can continue to live and multiply in Jesus Mighty name. Amen

We need faith in God to activate His power. "Faith therefore is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see” (Hebrews 11). 

What or whom we place our confidence in can therefore either positively or negatively affect our lives. Some may believe in people; others in riches; and some, more importantly in themselves. But I can assure you that those who put their trust in the Lord shall never be put to shame in anything. 

For God never fails! Faith on the other hand has very little to do with what we can achieve and a lot to do with whom we believe in. By placing our faith in God and in the truth of His Word, we are victorious according to His perfect Will, and that is irrespective of the magnitude or complexity of our situation. 

Faith in other words helps us to align ourselves with God’s perspective for our day to day living. If your life depends so much on your faith, how far can you go? Can you keep up a good fight of faith in desperate situations knowing that your life depends on it? 

Faith in God and in His Word is the only thing that can sustain you,  and if you lose faith in the Power of who bore your guilt, you make yourself susceptible to Satan’s wishes to ruin you. 

So this morning, what are you going through? Are you keeping your faith in Him? Is God in your journeys? If the answers to these two questions is yes then please know that you have a God that never fails and He will answer you when you least expect. 

1 Peter 4:19 says "So if you are suffering in a manner that pleases God, keep on doing what is right, and trust your lives to the God who created you, for he will never fail you", 

Once again I say God will never fail us and therefore let us be very careful not to fail ourselves. Amen

How do you intend to spend the today when you look at the day before? Summarily, have you been exceptionally good or bad in your Christian Faith journey? Let me remind you about King Herod the Great King. 

Although he was a king with stature, the Bible described him as a jealous King who was so insecure that the birth of new born babies tormented him. Ordinarily, the birth of new born babies should not usually strike fear into people's heart. 

But it did on King Herod because he wanted to maintain his viceroy-like grip on authority, then ordered the massacre of all the children in Bethlehem who were two years old. His regime as a king was therefore noted as a bad one. (Matthew 2:3) 

Pharaoh was also a King whose reign in Egypt came to an abrupt end when he refused to allow the Israelites to go out of Egypt peacefully. His end categorized the stubbornness in his unsteady dealings in the administration of his regime with the people of Israel. (Exodus 7:16) 

And his reign indeed was snuffed out because of so many errors of judgment. Haman was a counsellor of Ahasuerus in the Book of Esther who stands head and shoulders above the rest of his peers in the King's mind. 

Armed with an indictment and a proposal, he approached the King to castigate the Jews, naming them rebels before King Ahasuerus because of hatred and jealousies. Haman eventually became cornered with his plot and he died as a result. (Esther 4:1-17) 

In all the three scenarios, there was a shift away from the ordinances of God according to (Proverbs 6:16-19) "There are six things the Lordhates— no, seven things he detests: 17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that kill the innocent, 18 a heart that plots evil, feet that race to do wrong, 19 a false witness who pours out lies, a person who sows discord in a family." 

So on this mercy day, what steps are you going to take? Is it a step capable of granting you peace or that which can draw people into perdition and the wrought of God?

As we step into this mercy day, may the grace of God lead us and take our feet away from any unrighteous path in Jesus Mighty name. Amen

Testimony Time today was culled from an article found in "If Not for God" which I just want the world to see. "David was a shepherd, but there were a lot of shepherds. David was good-looking, but so were a lot of young men. 

David was young, but there were plenty of young men God could have chosen. And God described what made David special in 1 Samuel 13:14: "What made David so special was that he was a man after God's own heart." And it goes further- "

Whether you are anointed as deacon/ deaconess, A/Pastor or even full time Pastor. The real anointing happened when the Holy Spirit is upon you. The oil on your head was just a sign of this inward reality. 

So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the LORD came powerfully upon David. 1 Samuel 16:13" And very sadly, many bears testimony of one anointment or the other, but how many like David are Spirit filled after the experience? 

Can we all safely say we are working after the Mind of God? After your anointment, what signs follow? Is it turmoil, rancour, greed, mischief or of love, peace and humility? 

Lord we beseech You to consecrate us for Your use. Let the anointment in us bears testimony to Your name and Your Kingdom in Jesus Mighty name. Amen
