Acknowledge III
‘Acknowledge that the Lord is God! He made us, and we are his. We are his people, the sheep of his pasture’ Ps.100:3
Secondly, acknowledge that He made us. He made us in His own image, after His likeness. Which means that you can’t be ugly especially because God’s works are so beautiful. The heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament shows forth His handiwork. And they are masterpieces, He made you, you’re a masterpiece. I know that some people are struggling with receiving this. Let me share an experience with you. I was driving one day Read the rest of this entry
Spiritual Leprosy
‘Anyone who wants to be my disciple must follow me, because my servants must be where I am. And the Father will honor anyone who serves me’ John 12:26.
Please read Luke 17:11-18. As he entered a village there, ten lepers stood at a distance’ Luke 17:12.There is just so much in this passage of Scripture. The Bible records that the lepers stood at a distance from Jesus because they were leapers. And they shouted because they were leapers. Every spiritual leprosy in your life, I am praying that it will be cleansed and healed today in Jesus name. Everything that keeps you at a distance from Jesus, everything that makes you say afar off from Jesus, everything that Read the rest of this entry
No Falsehood
‘As he entered a village there, ten lepers stood at a distance, crying out, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” Luke17:12-13.
Please read Luke 17:11-18. It is an amazing story. Sometimes we read this kind of stories and we say in our heart “what an ungrateful bunch!” “How can anyone treat Jesus like that?” “Don’t they have home training, couldn’t they just have gone back to say thank you to Jesus?” But we need to check our lives, how grateful are we ourselves? The ten lepers saw Jesus coming and they said “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”. That was the beginning of their turning point. I am here to tell you that you are only a Read the rest of this entry
Fig Tree Praise
‘Even though the fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the vines; even though the olive crop fails, and the fields lie empty and barren… yet I will rejoice in the Lord! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!’ Hab.3:17-18
Worry and gratitude really cannot cohabit. You cannot be worried and be grateful at the same time. The children of Israel totally gave themselves to worrying that it was almost impossible to sustain their gratitude to God. When they met opposition on their way to the Promised Land, a lot of the time they grumbled and complained. And this made God frustrated with them. God was saying and is saying to you and I today, “don’t you understand who I Am? Don’t you understand that I cannot take you from Egypt and allow you Read the rest of this entry
Remember
‘Remember how the LORD your God led you through the wilderness for these forty years, humbling you and testing you to prove your character, and to find out whether or not you would obey his commands’ Deut.8:2
If you see a judgmental person, you have seen somebody that has forgotten. If you come across a Christian that is irritable with someone that is far from God, someone that is not dressing well, or behaving properly. When you come across a Christian that this puts off totally and now goes around with a ‘holier than thou’ attitude, you have met a Christian who has forgotten. In fact, you have met an ungrateful person who does not remember what God has brought him/her through. If you remember where Jesus has Read the rest of this entry
Blessedness of Mourning II
‘Blessed and enviably happy [with a happiness produced by the experience of God’s favour and especially conditioned by the revelation of His matchless grace] are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted!’ Matt.5:4 [AMP]
Grieving births rejoicing. It is difficult to enjoy and value and be really grateful for wealth if you have not tasted poverty. People of God, I have tasted poverty a little, I cannot claim to have tasted a lot and I have tasted wealth a little, I cannot claim to have tasted a lot. But I know that one is better than the other. Don’t be deceived by people who tell you that you should not trust God for wealth. Let them taste poverty and their opinions will change totally. I do not dispute that there have been abuses of prosperity teachings. My Read the rest of this entry
Remember and Give Thanks
‘Everyone will share the story of your wonderful goodness; they will sing with joy about your righteousness’ Ps. 145:7.
‘Remember the wonders He has performed, His miracles, and the rulings He has given’ 1 Chron.16:12. There is no better time to dedicate to thanksgiving than at the end of the year. Take time out today to sit with God and give Him thanks for January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, and December. Remember His unwavering love Read the rest of this entry
He Is The Alpha and Omega
‘I am the Alpha and the Omega—the beginning and the end,” says the Lord God. “I am the one who is, who always was, and who is still to come—the Almighty One’ Rev.1:8.
The fact that God is saying that He is going to do a new thing means you have not seen anything yet. The ability to see what God is doing is not reserved only for pastors, ministers, or anointed men of God. ‘In those days I will pour out my Spirit even on servants—men and women alike’ Joel 2:29. You may be down but God is saying it is not over for you yet so do not be afraid. The Read the rest of this entry
Gratitude
‘This will remind each new generation of Israelites that I made their ancestors live in shelters when I rescued them from the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God’ Lev.23:43
The third significance of ingathering is Gratitude. The feast of ingathering was to remind the Jews of how they dwelt in tabernacles, boots and tents when they were going from Egypt to the Promised Land. For some of us God is going to put an end to the pain we are experiencing forever but God does not want you to forget. In fact I am certain that for some people, the only Read the rest of this entry
Ingathering
‘Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.’ John 7:38
The feast of ingathering as it is known with the Jews is also known as the feast of tabernacle or the feast of booths. The physical meaning is gathering all the harvest of the agricultural year. Every harvest of the agricultural year that previously missed the sickle or shovel at the time of ingathering everything is brought in. And as this year is winding down I am praying Read the rest of this entry
