Take Note IV
“Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power… so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel…” John 13:3-5[NIV]
Today we start with the story of a professor in the United States, probably a philosophy professor. One day, at the end of his class with the auditorium still filled with students, he said there is no God. And he put forward a challenge. He said if there is God let Him knock me off this stage in five minutes. Everywhere went quiet, and then he began to look at his watch and mock God. Interestingly a three hundred pound [about 130kg] American football player heard the professor while he was waiting in the corridor for his friend that was in the class. And after a while the football player ran into the auditorium, carried the professor and slammed him on the ground. The professor was furious and Read the rest of this entry
Step Aside & Listen
“I will take my place at the watchtower. I will stand at my post and watch. I will watch and see what He says to me. I need to think about how I should respond to Him When He gets back to me with His answer” Hab.2:1[VOICE]
“We do not learn by experience. We learn from experience by reflecting” –Anonymous. This is so true. Things happen to us every day, if we learn by experience, everybody will be so smart. But most of the time, we are not even paying attention. We do not even take time out to reflect on the things that happen to us daily. A whole lot has happened in this year already. God is saying to you, Solitude! You need time Read the rest of this entry
Think & Thank
“Seven times every day I praise You because of Your right rulings. Those who love Your law have an abundance of peace, and nothing along their paths can cause them to stumble” Ps. 119:164-165 [Voice]
God’s instruction for us in this season is Re-Tune. We have seen some of the things that detune us. And we have learnt that the desired frequency, the pitch perfect tune is joy. This joy comes with righteousness and peace. So how do those of us that are out of tune re-tune? And how do those of us that Read the rest of this entry
Righteousness, Peace, & Joy!
“For the kingdom of God is not a matter of what we eat or drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost” Rom.14:17
Watch out for Anger, Hope Deferred, Greed, and Anxiety because they can put you out of tune.
#5. Life. The fifth thing that detunes us is actually life. We get out of tune by reason of use. Life just happens. You set your course at the beginning of the year but as days go by, life happens. A lot of people have New Year resolutions. In fact, some have Read the rest of this entry
His Space?
“I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread” Ps.37:25 [KJV]
God wants us to watch out for Anger, Hope Deferred and Greed because they detune us.
#4. Anxiety. Another thing that detunes us is anxiety. As the first quarter in the year comes to an end, a lot of people get anxious. And it because – I thought by now I Read the rest of this entry
Reference Point
“The Lord then answered him and said… And when He said these things, all His adversaries were put to shame” Luke 13: 15 & 17 [emphasis added]
Everywhere your lifting is being queried, Jesus Himself will answer for you. Everywhere people are querying the choice of you, God Himself will answer every query. And when He answers, all of them will be put to shame [say amen]. Try and have some faith here; God will answer for you and all your enemies will be put to shame, in Jesus Name. “And when He said these things, all His adversaries were put to shame; and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by Him” Luke 13:17 [emphasis added]. Your lifting will inspire multitudes to be lifted, in the Mighty Name of Jesus. Read the rest of this entry
Set Apart
“…They have stolen some of the things that I commanded must be set apart for me…” Josh.7:11 [emphasis added]
With the personal covenant I have with God, there are certain things in my life which He requires that I set aside for Him. Such things God has not asked you to set aside for Him. Do you understand? There are certain things that God requires of me and only me to set aside. He is not asking you to set aside those same things. So I must not erode those things. You need to find out what it is for you. Every life has a Covenant. There is a general Covenant but everyone should Read the rest of this entry
Brothers Keeper
“Israel has sinned and broken my covenant! They have stolen some of the things that I commanded must be set apart for me. And they have not only stolen them but have lied about it and hidden the things among their own belongings” Josh.7:11 [emphasis added]
People argue about many things especially about tithing. Some ask, “If I do not tithe will I go to hell?” The answer is no. But that stubborn thing in you that can make you look God in the face and do your own thing will take you to hell. Just obey God! When you obey God, you are paying obeisance. That is why Jesus said, “these people, they draw near to Me with their lips but their heart is far away from Me.” So what has God told you to do? Do it! What has He warned you not Read the rest of this entry
Obeisance
“Israel has sinned and broken my covenant!… That is why the Israelites are running from their enemies in defeat [therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies]…” Josh.7:11-12 [emphasis added]
You will Stand and prevail over your enemies in the Mighty Name of Jesus. The word obeisance is gotten from the word obedient. Obeisance is a gesture expressing deferential respect, such as a bow. Obedience to God is paying obeisance to God. When we bow to God we are obeying Him. When we obey God we are bowing to Him. Obedience to God is bowing to God. You must have heard this said, if you bow before God you will stand before any enemy.
Take The Stand I
“And the Lord said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh…” Ex.8:20.
I like using my work out time to listen to a variety of podcasts. I was listening to Dave Ramsey’s podcast and two people called in. The first person, a gentleman said his wife was a spend drift. He wants to take charge of their finances but all she loves to do is shop. Personally, I would say there is nothing wrong with shopping but you have to take charge of your financial future. The gentleman said they separated at some point because of it but because he loves her so much, he went Read the rest of this entry
