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 ...

HIS VOICE- 2

Text : John 10:3. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. We established yesterday that one thing you can't joke with as a true follower of Christ is *His Voice.* You must recognise and hearken to (obey) His voice. It is in doing this that your safety is assured.  Today, we want to see another responsibility of the Shepherd over His sheep.  To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, *and leads them out.* John 10:3.  He called you, that He might lead you. It is not enough for you to hear or recognise His Voice, you must allow Him to lead you as well.  Romans 8:14 says *For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.*   The Spirit leading you determines the family you belong to. Basically,  there are only two families in this world - the family of God, and the family of satan. In other words, we can say the Kingdom...
