ACKNOWLEDGE HIM

Text : Proverbs 3:5-6.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not depend on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

 *As a child of God,  it is not a big deal to carry God along wherever you go, but do you really acknowledge Him in ALL YOUR WAYS?* 

God is interested in every aspect of your life. He wants you to acknowledge Him in all you do. 

Some of the burdens you carry right now will not have come your way had you acknowledged Him before you took that decision. 

As a single person,  God is interested in your choice of life partner than you give Him credit for. He knows the right person for you and He's willing to lead you to him or her only if you will acknowledge Him.

One area where people (Christians) seldomly acknowledge God is in the choice of a life partner.  They only come back to God after they had encountered problems or challenges in their choices.

If the word of God says "acknowledge God in all your ways," He really meant all your ways. He wants you to acknowledge Him in both big and minute details of your life.

Proverbs 3:5 says do not depend on your own understanding. This presupposes that you as a person, you have your own understanding, but God doesn't want you to rely on your own understanding, but on Him.

This is why 2 Corinthians  5:7 says that we walk by faith, and not by sight.  It takes faith in God to acknowledge and depend on Him for every aspect of your life. Learn to trust Him with your life and you will not be ashamed. 

Bible  Reading: Proverbs 3:1-12.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1.) Father God, please grant me the grace to acknowledge you in all my ways in Jesus name.

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...

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...
