HE SAID SO-2

Text : Numbers 23:19.

God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?* 

This year, like every other year, will be full of ups and downs, but when men are saying there's a casting down, you shall say there's a lifting up.

This year, the Lord's words to you are that you will do great exploits. However,  there's a caveat to this promise- .... _but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits._ Daniel 11:32.

That is, to do great exploits, you must know your God.  

And one way to know God is to know and obey His words. 

Invariably,  your knowledge of God's words and your obedience to them is essential to the fulfilment of His promises in your life.

What you don't know is above you. Just yesterday after a very long day, I sat in the car very famished and even commented out loud that I'm very hungry, not knowing that my spouse had already bought food and kept it in the back seat for me.

It took me a while before I knew the food was there. But in fact, I could be in the same car for hours with food that I like and still go hungry for lack of knowledge. 

In the same way, God had already loaded you with His benefits but you need to come to the knowledge of what He has done for you, to take possession of them.

All of His promises to you are loaded in His words- the Bible. Familiarise yourself with all He had said concerning you this year, so you will not be cheated.

Bible Reading; Isaiah 43:19-25.


PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father Lord, I receive grace to rely on your words for me this year and always, knowing well that you never fail.

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...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
