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...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
