NO MORE EXCUSE

Text : Ecclesiastes  11:4 

He that observes the wind shall not sow; and he that regards the clouds shall not reap.

Dictionary defined excuse as explanation provided with the aim of alleviating guilt or negative judgement. But I will like to define excuse as any reason given to defend one's failure to perform or to deliver the needful.

As simple as excuse might appear, it is one of the  subtle but dangerous weapons the devil uses against God's people. 

It will surprise you to know that many on the day of judgement will have one excuse or the other for which they couldn't follow the Lord while on earth. The unfortunate thing however is that, when we stand before the Lord, we can't give any excuse!

The enemy always supply you with one thousand and one  reasons why you can't do something. You've cooperated enough, it's time for you to deliver yourself from all manner of Excuses. 

If you always have genuine reason(s) why you cannot pray, study the word, fellowship with the brethren, reach out to the lost, give to kingdom's course, serve the Lord, stop sinning; just know that you are being attacked by the enemy. Simply ask the Lord to forgive and help you instead of defending the devil by giving excuses. When you give excuse for not keeping up with your spiritual obligations and duties, you are simply defending the devil.

You must know for sure that whatever excuse that keeps you away from following the Lord, loving Him and doing His Will are from the pit of hell. No matter how genuine or legitimate your excuse might be, once it keeps you from doing the Will of God, just know that you are simply defending the course of the devil against your own very soul.

Before we commence looking into our study text and bible reading, I will like to encourage you to take out like 10minutes and list out all the excuses you always give for not obeying the Lord's command as you ought to. 

 *There is no excuse genuine enough that can justify you not obeying the Lord. Why? He never commanded you to do what He's not given you capacity to carry out* 

 *Bible reading:* 

Luke 14:16-21.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1.) Father God, I receive grace to be delivered from every kind of excuses that I always give to defend the course of the enemy in my life 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 ...

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...
