BEYOND TODAY!


Text. 1King 11:11

 Wherefore the LORD said unto Solomon, For as much as this is done by you, and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded you, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant.

You need to be very mindful of what you are doing with your today, as today will definitely determine your tomorrow. You must therefore chose to daily live with the consciousness of tommorrow in mind.

One singular action of King Solomon led to the break up of Israel's kingdom. The Lord rent the Kingdom of Israel into two because of Solomon's disobedience. He took a wrong step which would later affect his children's  children and the whole nation of Israel. 

The very first step King Solomon took, having been established in his kingdom was to pick a wife from the very nation that enslaved his ancestors for centuries.

"And Solomon made affinity with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh's daughter, and brought her into the city of David..." (1 King 11:1).

 You need to pay extra carefulness to the kind of association and relationship you are making, such may lead to a fatal destiny wreck.

You can imagine King Solomon marrying a princess from Egypt! While God had warned and instructed  Israelites against' intermarriage with certain nations, King Solomon went against this instruction and filled his palace with 700 women and 300 concubines from all these nations with the exception of one, his first wife.

See the way the scripture explained King Solomon's act in 1 Kings  11:1 - _"But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites"_ 

 Anyone that is in love with whatsoever God hates is doing so against his own soul and his generation yet unborn.

 As a child of God, you must see to it that you hate whatever your Father (God) hates, and love what He loves.

 Bible reading:

 1King 11:1-12.

 PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father, I receive the grace to align myself into your will for my life in everything I do 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...

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 ...

THE GREATEST

Text : Matthew 18:4   *Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.*   *Being the greatest in the kingdom is not about what you do but who you are.* Jesus pointed out here that little children are humble beings. Hence, what qualifies a person as the greatest in the kingdom of heaven is humility. Little children are both lowly and meek. These are qualities that does not come naturally to an adult. For instance, when you bring a little child from a wealthy background to live in a very poor home with another poor little child, he will gladly comply without any struggle. He will never complain or compare. He will simply adapt and gladly receive all the low and impoverished treatments. No adult or grown up child can accept this so easily.  That is the reason Jesus did not ask us to be converted and become as a child but ' *little child* '   _And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be co...
