AS IT IS WRITTEN

AS IT IS WRITTEN Pilate answered, What I have written I have written – John 19:22. Here is a man whom we could call a judge in his days because he occupied such position in his province before whom the people of the land came to hear their judgement. We know he was in authority during the trial of Jesus Christ when the Lord responded to one of his questions saying “ …Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above… - John 19: 11.” Let us leave much speaking about the background today and move on to the subject of the matter. The reason for this text is to draw comparison howbeit in a very minute sense with God. We have here a man who wrote something and the people demanded or requested, so to say, that it should be changed to which he replied them “ …what I have written, I have written .” He said it in such a way, manner and tone as if to tell them , “I cannot undo what I have done” or “I cannot change what I have written”. If this be true in the cas

REST IN THE LORD

 REST IN THE LORD Another day in the year. Lest you forget, today is the one hundred and twenty first day of the year. Approximately, the one-third part of the year. Now, look back (we don’t mean to backslide or be proud). We mean, look through and see the works of God in all these we have mentioned so far. The beginning of the fifth month of the year. There is enough reason to thank God. “But why do you expect me to thank God?” Sir, you have asked a good question. “Me? Thank God? For what? I don’t have this; I don’t have that. See my health, it’s failing. Look at my business, the economy is not encouraging. Behold my family, there is discombobulation. So why thank God?” Friend, relax. You’ve given your reasons and tenable excuses. Fine! No argument with you Sir. We aren’t going to wrestle together with you in words, ma. Listen and let the Spirit of God minister to you. The reasons you’ve stated not to thank God are still the same reasons you would have to thank Him. Look and look thro

PRAYER: REST IN THE LORD

 PRAYER: REST IN THE LORD Many are Thy works and lovingkindness, Oh Lord. They are much than what we can estimate. We say they are “marvelous in our eyes” because they are past finding out. If we had sought for them and found them, we would have said, “our wisdom and might brought us what we desired.” This would have limited our reference for you and the rate at which we honour you. In this awe, we come to you to declare unto you that which is written concerning you in Thy book that, “the secret things belong to God but those things that are revealed belong to us…” Therefore, Father, we thank you for little fragments out of your numerous secrets which you have revealed to us so far. Why would you have confided in us so much and well to have revealed such classified information unto mortals even the hidden things from the foundation of the world which are not known to the hosts of heaven? Lord, we say like David that, “who is man?” Who am I before? A dust! A speck of particle in the spa

MADE FAT - I

 MADE FAT We are grateful once again to God Almighty for His goodness and wonderful works towards us. How marvelous are Thy deeds, Heavenly Father! We are to cultivate the habit and attitude of praising God at all times by the help of the Holy Spirit. It is for our own good when we live to worship and adore God and exalt His Name. But it is a pity that, there are some who feel uncomfortable calling the name of God among their friends and in the public. Saying a word of prayer over their meals before eating – to call the name of Jesus becomes a difficult task for them. Why? We are to be proud of our Heavenly Father. We have the best Dad in the world. Children of God, let us tell the world about our Father and in turn, we should tell the world to our Father. WHEREFORE KICK YE AT MY SACRIFICE AND AT MINE OFFERING, WHICH I HAVE COMMANDED IN MY HABITATION; AND HONOUREST THY SONS ABOVE ME, TO MAKE YOURSELVES FAT WITH THE CHIEFEST OF ALL THE OFFERINGS OF ISRAEL MY PEOPLE? – 1Samuel 2:29.

PRAYER: MADE FAT - I

 PRAYER: MADE FAT Here we stand in the righteousness of Christ Jesus. Hallelujah! Beloved, let us rejoice and sing a joyful song unto our Maker who was, who is and is to come from everlasting to everlasting, The Almighty. The world behind us the Lord before us, we follow, we maintain our gaze by the help of the Most High God through His Spirit in us. We won’t look back neither are we going to deny Him. Many are the works of God unto us. They are more than we can number. The Lord loves and preserves us from all evil and pestilence. We are alive today because His mercies kept us. Indeed, we are grateful to God for all He is doing for us. Sometimes, when the answers to our prayer seem to be tarrying too long to stir up or cause doubt in us. During this period, the Spirit of the Lord comes to us to keep our company telling us the unfathomable dimension and power of God in doing all things bringing all His acts and deeds from previous years till date to our remembrance. It is in this we are

You are our refuge and underneath are the everlasting arms.

PRAYER: MADE FAT - II

 PRAYER: MADE FAT – II Nevertheless, a man being in honour and understandeth it not, is like a beast that perishes. Know ye not that you are in a honourable position? What honourable position? You queried. O Man! Humble thyself and take away your pride. What have you that is different from others? Moreover, you must have received it from God. So, why the puffing up? However, rich, wise or honourable man is, he must die. Tell me, why do you boast in vanity and glory in things that are temporary. Beauty? It shall fade. Money? It maketh itself wings and flies away. Position? It’s not forever. Breath? Once it is taken, the whole body lies lifeless like a log of wood unmoved, unshaken and unwanted save it is meet for fire. But you, O man, if you die without a sure hope of eternal life, it’s just like when beast dies. Can you differentiate the skeletal bones of that rich man in your town who died ten years ago from that of the poor beggar by the road side, who also died years back? Can you o
