GREEN PASTURE

 Text : Proverbs 10:22.

The blessing from the LORD makes a person rich, and he adds no sorrow to it.

Everyone is looking for greener pasture, but the only one that can make you live in green pasture is the Lord.

The rate at which people are migrating to the so called developed Countries is quite alarming. 

From the word go, the fallen nature in man has always been in search of greener pasture. But the truth is, not very many actually found this GREENER pasture they frantically search. 

To some, Ukraine was a GREENER pasture until few months now. Anyone who was denied visa to Ukraine about a year ago will have cause to be grateful to God now. 

This is why it is essential to seek the face of God concerning every facet of your life and this include your choice of where to live.

When Lot (Abraham's nephew) was told to make a choice of where he would like to settle, he simply chose the so called greener pasture of that time.

Lot looked around and noticed that the whole Jordan plain as far as Zoar was well-watered like the garden of the LORD or like the land of Egypt. (This was before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)Gen. 13:10.

He simply chose by sight, he forgot completely that *as children of God, we live by Faith and not by sight.* 2 Cor. 5:7.

In the eyes of Lot, and by logical calculations or reasoning, he had chosen the choicest part, (a decision which any natural man will conveniently make).

Infact, the Bible says, the place looked like the garden of the LORD.

A number of times, evil things are wrapped in beautiful covers. Don't be deceived by the looks, because looks are deceptive. Not all that glitters is gold.

It may look like the garden of the Lord, but if it's not from God, it's not of God. God is only committed to His own.

However, Lot didn't have to live long in Sodom before he realised that he had chosen wrongly. Unfortunately, he lost his wife and the chastity of his two daughters to that choice.

Man lacks the capacity to choose correctly. If what you seek is a blessing devoid of sorrow, then your only option is God.* He is the only one who can direct your steps, He is the only one who gives lasting blessings with no sorrow attached. 

It is wisdom to commit your tommorrow to the only wise God who alone knows what tommorrow holds.

Bible reading: :Psalms 23:1-6.


 PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father God, I commit my ways to you knowing well that you will order my steps through and to the right path.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
