Deuteronomy 8:18, Thou shalt remember the Lord...

Let us drink of the things that God has provided for us and eat without scarcity because He has brought us into a land of abundance.

The Land of Abundance

Deuteronomy 8:8-9 says:

 

 

“A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey; a land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack anything in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.”

 

Wow! Talk about God meeting our needs according to His riches in glory. Talk about answering prayer before it is ever prayed. The Bible says God knows we have need of these things before we pray.

Think of God’s great plan in the garden of Eden, even before man’s sin. He prepared a land where every need was met and every desire was fulfilled. That’s the kingdom of God. That is the life of the obedient ones, the life of those who love God with all of their hearts, their minds, and their souls. This is the heart of those who have discovered that God is only a good God. Therefore, let us walk in it. Let us drink of the things that God has provided for us and eat without scarcity because He has brought us into a land of abundance.

Partake!

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the Lord lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

Psalm 118:24  “This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”

All we have is today!

You are not in control of your life…in fact, the only decisions you can make on your own is how you will react to the things that come your way. You can choose fear or faith. You can get depressed or determined to find the best in a situation. The choice is yours with either response.

As humans, sometimes we let the need to be in control taint the good that God brings to the day. We shouldn’t forget that this is the day that He has created. These are the circumstances that He’s aware of and while they may not contribute to our ideal day, remember everything works according to His plan.

The very fact that you’re breathing is reason enough to rejoice! Be happy and embrace all the the good God has in store for you today. Stop focusing on what you don’t have or what isn’t your perfect set up, and give thanks for what you do have. Our father loves a grateful heart and wants to hear a spirit of gratitude, not one of despair and complaints.

Smile because today is the day that the Lord has made. Today is the day to receive His blessings, so rejoice and be glad in all God has planned for you!

 

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the Lord lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

The Lesson of Elijah

Jezabel and Ahab Meeting Elijah in Naboth's Vi...

The Lesson of Elijah

God is A Personal Spirit!

“Be still in the presence of the LORD, and wait patiently for Him to act.” (Psalm 37:7)

Do you ever ask, “Why don’t I experience God dramatically as the early believers did? Why do I not see anyone experiencing God that way?” A man from Old Testament times, a prophet named Elijah, struggled with this.

Elijah lived in a day, much like today, when many people doubted or scoffed at God. He longed to see God move with tremendous power and silence the critics. Sometimes God did that. But there was a time when Elijah’s very life was in danger, and God seemed silent. An evil and godless queen named Jezebel sent her armies to kill Elijah. Was this his reward for being loyal and faithful to God? His depression and despair cut so deeply that Elijah finally asked God to simply let him die. If God wasn’t going to speak or act what was the point of even living?

God taught Elijah an unforgettable lesson. He sent the prophet to a mountain and commanded him to stand and watch as the Lord passed. Wasn’t that what Elijah wanted, after all? His heart must have raced as he anticipated looking upon the glory of God with his own two eyes. But instead, God came in a gentle whisper.

Elijah understood the message. God can hurl windstorms whenever He chooses. He can make the earth tremble or set it aflame. But He usually does not choose to move among us in sensational ways, but rather in the sound of a gentle whisper.

Your View of God Really Matters …

Why do you think God allowed Elijah to get so depressed he wanted to die? How did God restore Elijah’s hope? Do you ever get depressed? Next time, listen for the gentle whisper.

Because God is A Personal Spirit, I will seek intimate fellowship with Him.

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the Lord lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

Remember God!

Deuteronomy 8:10-14 says:

 

 

 “When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the Lord thy God for the good land which He hath given thee. Beware that thou forget not the Lord thy God, in not keeping His commandments, and His judgments, and His statutes, which I command thee this day. Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein; and when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied; then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the Lord thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.”

There are people who forget God, but you are not like that. You remember the way of transgression; you remember that it was a way of hardness, loneliness, brokenness, and discouragement. Now you are the blessed of the Lord. You have been touched by God. You have been bought with a price. You are stamped with His approval. His hand is upon you. He loves you. His ears are open to your prayers, and His eyes are upon your life. You can do no less than to remember God in all that you have and in all the ways that you walk.

Remember God!

 

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the Lord lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

Absolute surrender to God’s will

Absolute surrender to God’s will.

James 4:7 “Therefore, submit to God…”

The time has come for absolute surrender to the will of God. As we grow, God starts demanding more from us. And times will come when we are not sure that we will be able to do what God wants us to do. But if we surrender, something new happens. Our faith grows and our intimacy with Him deepens. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding” Proverbs 3:5

 

 

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the Lord lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

Games the Devil Plays

And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram’s cattle and the herdmen of Lot’s cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled
then in the land. And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I
pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy
herdmen; for we be brethren
Genesis 13:7-8

 

 

Abram’s men were upset with Lot’s men, and Lot’s men were upset with
Abram’s men. Abram’s men began to whisper in Abram’s ear about Lot, and
Lot’s men began to whisper in Lot’s ear about Abram. Most of you have
experienced this nasty old game of the devil in your own lives because
the devil knows that strife will derail God’s plan.

 

 

Abram, however, understood the divisiveness of strife. He didn’t say,
“Let there be a little strife.” You might think at times that it’s okay
to be a little upset with some people as long as you’re not burning
upset. No! Abram said, “Let there be no strife. We are brethren.
Believers shouldn’t fight.” Abram was guarding his heart.

 

 

 

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the Lord lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

Let us learn to wait upon the Lord

Let us learn to wait upon the Lord.

 

Isaiah 40:31 “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.”

 

Oh how often do we ask God to either help us with something or give us an answer to a specific question? And then, in our impatience, we run ahead of God and just do it in our own strength and understanding. We run and get weary, because we are doing things in our own way. Let us learn to wait upon the Lord, as hard as it might be at times, just wait! For He promises that we shall run and not be weary, walk and not faint.

 

 

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the Lord lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

Love God and Live by Faith

Deuteronomy 8:6-7 says:

 

 

“Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, to walk in His ways, and to fear Him. For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills.”

We are Christians. We obey God, not to get something, but because He has already given us something. We obey Him, giving Him reverence and honouring Him. We walk in His ways and His paths. We represent Him to the world. We walk in righteousness and purity. Why? Because He has brought us into a land of such abundance, a land of goodness. God loves us so much, we can do nothing but love Him back. This is the heart of true faith. When we discover His love for us, we have no options but to love Him by living by faith.

Love God and live by faith!

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the Lord lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

To whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more

To whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more.

Luke 12:48, NKJV

 

Accountable Before God

When Annas the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching (John 18:19), Jesus answered directly, “I have spoken openly to the world . . . I always taught in synagogues or at the temple, where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret. Why question me? Ask those who heard me. Surely they know what I said” (John 18:20-21, NIV).

Jesus confronted Annas with the awesome principle that God holds people accountable, not just for what they have heard or know, but for what they have had opportunity to hear and know, with churches on every corner, with religious radio broadcasts, with Christian television programming, with evangelistic crusades and festivals and services and movies, we have enormous accountability before God!

It doesn’t matter if you have ever tuned in to or listened to or read or participated in any of the above. You and I have had the opportunity to do so, and for that we will be held accountable by God.

Blessings

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the Lord lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

Jesus came to fulfill the law

Jesus is considered by scholars such as Weber ...

Jesus came to fulfill the law.

Romans 13:10 “Love does no harm to a neighbor, therefore, love is the fulfillment of the law.”

Jesus came to fulfill the law, not to cast it out. The 10 commandments are still there & we need to obey them. The world, when they look at the Bible & us as Christians, they see the law “thou shalt not”. To them it’s just rules & rules they don’t necessarily want to obey. But the Word says, Jesus came to fulfill the law. How? through LOVE, for Jesus is love. When you have Jesus (love) you walk in love and when you walk in love, you fulfill the law without even thinking about it. Because love does no harm! Read Romans 13:8-14

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the Lord lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!
