REMEMBER HIM- 2

Text: Ecclesiastes:12:1

Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;

Many people's destinies are destroyed from their tender ages. Many are living with regrets and wounds by reason of what they did or the decisions they took when they were young. 

Yes, God is able to heal all wounds, and He is ready to heal yours if you will open up to Him. There's no life so damaged that God cannot repair. However, there are some things that can never be changed. For instance,  you cannot go back to the age you were last year, that age is gone forever. Also,  If you have had a child out of wedlock, you can't undo it. But you must remember that God specialises in turning ugly mess to a beautiful message. 

Because the devil understands the brevity of man's life and the shortness of his own time too, he is deploying different means of ensuring that man wastes his time on things that has no eternal bearings.

*You must know that a wasted time is a destiny wasted  and a destiny wasted is a life wasted, so invest your time wisely.* 

A time (life) wisely invested is a life invested on God through Jesus Christ. This is why Mark 12:30 says, "thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength-this is the first commandment."

Note that Jesus Christ,  while giving us the first and the greatest commandment captured strength as one of the ways by which you love the Lord. 

Regardless of your age, you must see to it that you are not just paying lip service  to  God. To remember your God, is to love God with all of your life in this present time.

You must let what Jesus said in John  9:4  be your watch word. *I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night comes, when no man can work.* 

*Bible Reading :* 

Ecclesiastes 12;1-14.

*PRAYER FOCUS* 

1.) Father God, I receive the grace to love you with all my heart, soul, mind and strength in Jesus name.

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...
