In Need?
‘So God set another time for entering His rest, and that time is today. God announced this… Today when you hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts’ Heb. 4:7.
‘So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive His mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most’ [Heb.4:16]. It is so comforting to discover that God Almighty has accessed and classed our needs. He did not stop there; He decided to extend an invitation to you and I to obtain ‘grace to help us when we need it most’. When do you Read the rest of this entry
Place of Worship
‘So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive His mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most’ Heb.4:16
Something happened when Jesus shouted His last and gave up His spirit. Something that changed the course of history forever and changed the place of worship forever. The release of the Spirit brought about the tearing of the curtain top to bottom. In other words, through Jesus and by His Spirit you and I can access the place of worship that once laid behind the veil. Jesus granted us access to enter beyond the place where the priests could and into the place where the Ark of Read the rest of this entry
The Outer Court
‘For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom’ 2 Cor.3:17
In time past, God chose for a dispensation a method of worship, that is, when the children of Israel want to worship, God said they should set up a tent of the meeting where man will meet with God. ‘Have the people of Israel build Me a holy sanctuary so I can live among them’ Ex.25:8. The tabernacle has three sections – the outer court, the holy place and the most holy Read the rest of this entry
You Need To Know VI
‘When they heard the loud noise, everyone came running, and they were bewildered to hear their own languages being spoken by the believers’ Acts 2:6
You need to know that God intrudes. God does not always mind His business. Thank God He does not always mind his business. For the people in the scripture reference, it seemed as though God had just intruded in their lives. God intrudes with ‘Attention Getters’. Attention getters usually shake the person to their very foundation. Many of us have loved ones who have refused to serve God. Perhaps it’s time to ask God to intrude in their lives and send attention getters. It is a Read the rest of this entry
You Need To Know V
‘Truly, O God of Israel, our Savior, You work in mysterious ways’ Isa.45:15
‘This vision is for a future time. It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled. If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed’ Hab.2:3. Today’s devotional is a continuation of yesterday’s discourse. You need to know that God will commit to ‘what’ but He will not always commit to ‘how’. Joseph knew the ‘what’ – he was going to be above his brothers. He knew this for a fact because God showed him ‘what’ was to come. Joseph Read the rest of this entry
You Need To Know IV
‘Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour’ Isa.45:15 [KJV]
You need to know that God commits to ‘what’ but doesn’t always commit to ‘how’. God, most of the time, will commit to ‘what’ He will do. He will commit to His promises for you. He will commit to the big picture that He has for you. He will make personal promises to you, perhaps in the area of fruitfulness, finances, promotions or establishment. God commits to ‘what’ but God never commits to ‘how’. The ‘how’ He will do it stays with Him. I have a feeling that God does not Read the rest of this entry
You Need To Know III
‘And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability’ Acts 2:4
You need to know that God does the illogical. God does things that don’t make sense. As you begin to experience God unboxed, expect the illogical. The gift of tongues does not make any sense to the person speaking it. But you see, that is God for you. For a lot of people, what is limiting their realization of God and their next level is logic. We are waiting for everything to Read the rest of this entry
You Need To Know II
‘Suddenly, there was a sound from Heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm, and it filled the house where they were sitting’ Acts 2:2
God does not only bless the people that we do not agree with or bless us in spite of those that do not agree with us, God does the unexpected. God shows up suddenly; He likes to surprise people. I have not met a woman that does not like to be surprised by her husband. God loves to show up when we least expect Him. For many of us, if we think back 10 or 20 years, we will never have Read the rest of this entry
You Need To Know I
‘They were completely amazed. “How can this be?” they exclaimed. “These people are all from Galilee’ Acts.2:7
God also blesses those that don’t agree with us. The fact that God is doing awesome things in your life, and you do not agree with your brother does not mean God will stop doing great things in his life. God will bless the people you disagree with inspite of the fact that you disagree with them. You may be one of those who think that this is totally unfair. Some people think that Read the rest of this entry
Manifest Presence
‘And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages… But others in the crowd ridiculed them, saying, “They’re just drunk, that’s all!” Acts2:4 & 13
You have to live your life void of fear of people ridiculing you or calling you names. And plug into the purposes of God. The disciples were wise enough to separate themselves as Jesus instructed and wait for the promise. When they received the promise, some people’s reaction was to ridicule them. Ignore the jesters. The Holy Spirit is the power of God. He is God Himself. He is the Read the rest of this entry
