NEVERTHELESS, I WILL STILL WORSHIP YOU LORD

 

Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ! Here is the word for your meditation and prayer! I am delighted to share the word of encouragement and hope, at such a time as this. I just want to start by mentioning that, in life we sometimes encounter serious challenges which may derail our faith in God. Some experiences may even leave us cast down and brokenhearted, due to the extent of the tribulations and challenges. The title of my message is: "NEVERTHELESS, I WILL STILL WORSHIP YOU LORD" The Living Bible in Psalms 34:1 says,
[1]"I will praise the Lord no matter what happens. I will constantly speak of his glories and grace." In the above scripture David says, despite what may happen in life,  he would still praise and worship the Lord. David encountered many challenges in his time as king of the Israelites, although he was considered to be a man after God's own heart. Many times when people go through painful and devastating circumstances, they are likely to give up or backslide in their Christian faith. However, there are  good examples of people who never gave up worshipping God, even though they went through many storms of challenges.
The Living Bible in Job 2:9-10 says,
[9]"His wife said to him, “Are you still trying to be godly when God has done all this to you? Curse him and die.”
[10]But he replied, “You talk like some heathen woman. What? Shall we receive only pleasant things from the hand of God and never anything unpleasant?” So in all this Job said nothing wrong." Job is a good example of a man who feared and worshipped God despite the many challenges he faced during his lifetime. He refused to talk bad about the Lord despite all those challenges he faced in life. He said no matter what had happened I will still save and worship my God. His wife said to him, " Are you still trying to be godly when God has done all this to you? Curse him and die." Job was quick to remind his wife that we must not just expect to receive good things only,  even bad things befall good people as well, including God's children.  He said, " Shall we receive only pleasant things from God and never anything unpleasant?" May I hasten to mention that God never causes unpleasant experiences, but may bring trials with a room to escape.( 1 Corinthians 10:13) It is the devil who causes untold suffering to mankind, after God had allowed it to happen, even in the above scripture, but Job  never complained, but still remained faithful and hopeful in the Lord. What shall separate us from the love of God, is it tribulations, suffering, hunger or death, above all these things we are more than conquerors in Christ Jesus.( Romans 8:35-39) You must also get to a stage where you say" Nevertheless, I will still worship you lord" despite all what I am facing or experiencing right now!" Challenges,  problems, unanswered prayers, should not separate you from the love of God. Instead the more challenges, the more your prayer power!  Prayer does not kill, but it gives you strength.  " Prayers are deathless. They outlive the lives of those who utter them."( Bruce Wilkinson author of The prayer of Jabez* Bible study) The above quote gives us hope that despite not seeing early results of our prayer requests,  we must be rest assured that our prayers don't expire or die, they outlive us and they will surely come to pass, in the name of Jesus Christ. Never give up, no matter what happens in life.
The Living Bible in Daniel 3:16-18 says,
[16]"Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego replied, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not worried about what will happen to us.
[17]If we are thrown into the flaming furnace, our God is able to deliver us; and he will deliver us out of your hand, Your Majesty.
[18]But if he doesn’t, please understand, sir, that even then we will never under any circumstance serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have erected.”  The Hebrew men above, were determined and optimistic that, no matter what happens to them, they would  still serve the Lord. They were prepared to face anything, in order to defend their God. Don't allow anything to kill or destroy your faith in God. Be steady and persistent in prayer, despite your current situation and circumstances. Press on, don't give up. Patience and endurance is what you need, before receiving your promise.( Hebrews 10:35-39) Good news is your portion this year! Good news is my portion! What is it that which is bothering you? Remember, Job suffered for many years and lost everything, including his children, but his later years  were successful and prosperous.  The Bible says,  " So the Lord blessed Job at the end of his life more than at the beginning.  For now he had 14 000 sheep, 6, 000 camels  1 000 teams of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys. God also  gave him seven more sons and three more daughters. These were the names of his daughters: Jemina, Kezia, Karen.......*"( Job 42:12-17). Job despite what he went through,  he finally lived long to experience abundant blessings. Listen child of God, age is just a number, you can still make it in life. You can still get married or marry and have many children.  You can still start a business and prosper, like never before. You can still enrol for further studies and gradute.   Whatever, you have been believing God for, just wait upon the Lord, He will make it happen, in due season. You have gone through dark valleys and frightening forests, but the Lord has not forsaken or abandoned you. You are what you are today, because of his grace. ( 1 Corinthians 15:10) Grace sustains you when it seems hopeless and directionless! I know you have been disappointed and cheated, but just say," NEVERTHELESS, I WILL STILL WORSHIP YOU LORD." Don't give up! Don't quit! Don't surrender! It shall be well with you, when the time is right. ( Isaiah 60:22). The Lord will surely make it happen, in the fulness of time. Just know and believe that, you are not labouring in vain, you shall testify the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.( Psalm 27:13-14, Jeremiah 29:11)  Pray without ceasing! It shall soon come to pass, when the time is ripe.( Ephesians 6:18, 1 Thessalonians 5:17, Luke 18:1).

May God richly bless you!

PUT GOD IN THE CENTER OF YOUR LIFE

 

Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ! Here is the word for your meditation and prayer. I am delighted to share the word of encouragement  and hope at such a time as this. In this journey of life, it is important to understand that we can't do anything without the Lord. The title of my message is:" PUT GOD IN THE CENTRE OF YOUR LIFE" The Bible says, " In the beginning God....." ( Genesis 1:1) What the above scripture is saying is that, before you do anything in life, you must consult God for the right direction and advice. Put God in the center of your life. Put God in the center of all things in your life. Put God first in everything you do. He must be in the driving seat of your life. In everything you face and do, put God first, and prioritize Him, and He will also take care of your own issues of life. Seek God and His righteousness, and all other things will be added unto you.(Matthew 6:33) Instead of worrying much about a lot of things in your life, commit all your plans to God, and you will succeed and prosper.( Proverbs 16:3) God must feature everywhere, anywhere and in everything you do. Make the word of God the standard  for your life. Remove idols in all areas of your life.(Remove dagon the head god of the Philistines, in your life)( 1 Samuel 5:1-12) Dagon(the devil) causes afflictions, suffering and death, but God( Jesus), gives you life in abundance.( Johnv10:10) The mission of the devil is to steal, kill and destroy, but Jesus came to give us life in abundance.  Abundant life and good news is your portion, in Christ Jesus. Put God in the center of your life and all shall be well with you. "GOD MUST BE IN THE CENTER OF YOUR LIFE". In John 15:5 , Jesus says you can't do nothing without me. In other words, it is Christ who helps us to do the impossible in life. Christ is the hope of all glory. (Colossians 1:27) All things consist  in Him, and everything visible and invisible, was made by
Him. Without Him, nothing was made, that which was made. He was before all things, in all things. He is the first born of all creation. The fulness of God, dwells in Him.  ( Colossians 1:15-19) In him we move, live and have our being.( Acts 17:28) Whatever, you may be going through right now, just commit it to the Lord in prayer, and it shall be well with you.( Jeremiah 33:3) Stop crying and worrying, it shall soon be over, when He says, it's over, in the name of Jesus Christ. Once again, put God in the centre of your life.  All shall be well with you, when the time is right, in due season. Good news is your portion! Good news is my portion!

 

May God richly bless you!

BE PREPARED TO SACRIFICE

Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ! Here is the word for your meditation and prayer! I am delighted to share the word of encouragement and empowerment at such a time as this. In life if you are not prepared to sacrifice, you may not achieve much. Many things we desire and need, come after a sacrifice in one way or another. Therefore fellow brethren in Christ, be prepared to sacrifice in many different ways, in order to achieve your purpose for life. The title of my message is: " BE PREPARED TO SACRIFICE" What is "Sacrifice"? Sacrifice is a surrender of something of value as means of gaining something more desirable or of preventing some evil. Sacrifice is also to surrender, giving up, offering our lives to God's service. The Living Bible in Hebrews 13:16 says,
[16]"Don’t forget to do good and to share what you have with those in need, for such sacrifices are very pleasing to him." The above scripture simply means that greatness and success, is achieved through sacrifice. Sacrifice requires commitment, bravery and courage. It also requires faith and and vision, to sacrifice that which you love most. Even God himself had to sacrifice His only begotten Son Jesus Christ, in order to save mankind from the bondage of sin. As believers we are are encouraged to do good to others and love one another. ( John 13:34-35). It is pertinent to mention that, sharing our belongings and possessions, pleases God. May I also hasten to say that many people who have made it in life, have sacrificed something, in order to be where they are and what they are today. You either sacrifice your entire savings, to venture into business or borrow money from the bank to start
a project, if you want to succeed in life. However, some sacrifices may be risky, but no good thing comes easy. You just have to be prepared for any eventualities in this journey of life, if you want to achieve greatness. The Bible also says, "This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins." ( 1 John 4:10 NIV) " I believe that every sacrifice we make will so enrich us in future that our regret will be that we did not enrich the sacrifice the more.-George F. Barba- " Be prepared to Sacrifice " in order to achieve the best in life. Many good things are achieved through sacrifice. We all desire success, good things and good news, but don't want to sacrifice our time, resources,  comfort and midnight sleep."BE PREPARED TO SACRIFICE." It shall be well with you when the time is right.( Isaiah 60:22). God will never fail us even if we trust Him  with our resources, we know that we shall be compensated, in due season.( Galatians 6:9) Good News is your portion, this year. Good News is my portion!

May God richly bless you!

CHALLENGES ARE JUST FOR A LITTLE WHILE

 

Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ! Here is the word for your meditation and prayer! I am glad to share a message of hope and encouragement at such a time as this. The title of my message is:               " CHALLENGES ARE JUST FOR A LITTLE WHILE" Challenges are a test of one's abilities or resources in a demanding but stimulating undertaking. When we face challenges we just have to turn to the Lord and seek His face and pray, He has all solutions and answers to our challenges and problems in our lives. The Bible says, "Call to Me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know."( Jeremiah 33:3 NIV) Even in time immemorial God's children were facing many challenges, but God has always rescued and saved his people from catastrophic diseases and wars. ( Deuteronomy 31:6). Isaiah 41:13 says, " I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, ' Do not fear; I will help you.'" The Lord even at such a time as this, He will continue to hold us with His caring and loving hand and bring us to safety, like what Jesus did when Peter was about to be swept away by a wave of storm in the sea. The Lord is our present help in times of trouble and need.( Psalm 46:1-3) But many times when we face storms of life, we forget that God is in the bought with us. The disciples panicked and cried when they were crossing the sea of Galilee, forgetting that God was in the boat with them. ( Mark 4:35-41) You are not alone in that situation which you are facing right now, the Lord is in control in the boat. Fear not!   Remember, opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging. It is when we are facing difficulties and challenges, that we pray without ceasing and launch deeper in seeking God's face. However, we are always encouraged by the scriptures to pray without ceasing and not faint or give up.( 1 Thessalonians 5:17, Luke 18:1).      At times God allows some challenges and problems to face us, as a way of testing our faith. He also wants to prove and show us His power and total dependence on Him. ( 1 Corinthians 10:13) The world is bleeding and groaning, due to the current Covid-19, known as Corona virus, but it is a phase which will soon come to pass, because with God nothing is too hard or impossible. The truth is nothing remains forever.( Matthew 19:26, Jeremiah 32:27).  The prevailing situation, will come to pass in the name of Jesus Christ.  Whatever, you may be facing spiritually,  physically or emotionally in your life it shall be over in the name of Jesus Christ.  Remember, it is not over, until He says it's over.  Jesus  spoke on the cross and said, "It Is Finished".( John 19:30) Whatever it is, Corona virus, HIV, Sugar diabetes, Cancer, fibros, high blood pressure, menstrual cycle problem, bleeding, marriage challenges and financial problems, will come to pass in the name of Jesus Christ. Remember, Good News is your portion this year!  Good News is my portion! 

May God richly bless you!

YOU HAVE KEPT US UP UNTIL TODAY

 

Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ. Here is the word for your meditation and prayer. I am delighted to share the word of encouragement and hope at such a time as this. It is that time of the beginning of another new year, when we reflect on the achievements and failures of the past year. There are many things that we went through, good and bad, but we thank God who has taken us this far. The title of my message is: " YOU HAVE KEPT US UP UNTIL TODAY" The Living Bible in Psalms 71:5-9       (5) O Lord, you alone are my hope; I’ve trusted you from childhood.
[6]Yes, you have been with me from birth and have helped me constantly—no wonder I am always praising you!
[7]My success—at which so many stand amazed—is because you are my mighty protector.
[8]All day long I’ll praise and honor you, O God, for all that you have done for me.
[9]And now, in my old age, don’t set me aside. Don’t forsake me now when my strength is failing." The scripture above clearly states that the Lord has been kind and faithful to  you and me over the years to date. I know where I came from and what I went through and suffered, since my childhood. I know you have also gone through many painful experiences as well as joyful moments, but the Lord in all this, has never abandoned you and me. God is a merciful and loving God. I have trusted the living God from childhood. He has been with me from birth; and has constantly helped me even in difficult moments. He is a kind and loving God, who does not abandon His own people. The Lord has kept me so far, and I am very grateful and thankful to His amazing kindness.   Even the scripture in Psalms 71:7 says," My success - at which so many stand amazed- is because you are my mighty protector." Everything you have, and have done, is because the Lord has allowed you to have and possess it. If we all ponder and reflect on our past, we can see and acknowledge that the Lord has done great things in our lives.
The Living Bible in Isaiah 46:4 says,
[4]"I will be your God through all your lifetime, yes, even when your hair is white with age. I made you and I will care for you. I will carry you along and be your Savior." The above scripture assures us that the Lord will always be with us for the rest of our lives. He will assist and protect us all to our old age, because He made us, and will not forsake us.
The Living Bible in Deuteronomy 31:6 says,
[6]"Be strong! Be courageous! Do not be afraid of them! For the Lord your God will be with you. He will neither fail you nor forsake you.” God is not like man who change anytime, when He promises to bless, He will bless you, He does not fail to do so. God will never leave or forsake His people, because of His unfailing love. He has taken you and me so far, and still cares for you and me, up until today. What an amazing God!
The Living Bible in Isaiah 43:2 says,
[2]"When you go through deep waters and great trouble, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown! When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up—the flames will not consume you." There are times when we have faced many storms of life and challenges, but the Lord has taken us through; and never abandoned us. Even through floods and fiery fires, He has held us by His loving hand. He has protected us from dangerous diseases and sicknesses, including the nagging corona virus. We have survived by His grace. God is a caring and loving God.
The Living Bible in Joshua 1:5 says,
[5]"No one will be able to oppose you as long as you live, for I will be with you just as I was with Moses; I will not abandon you or fail to help you."  The above scripture again confirms God's steadfast love.               The Living Bible in Hebrews 13:5 also says,
[5]"Stay away from the love of money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, “I will never, never fail you nor forsake you.”
God didn't bring you this far just to abandon you. He is always with you and will be with you forever. The Living Bible in Psalms 124:1-2,4,6-8 says,
[1]"If the Lord had not been on our side (let all Israel admit it), if the Lord had not been on our side,
[2](2-3) we would have been swallowed alive by our enemies, destroyed by their anger.
[4](4-5) We would have drowned beneath the flood of these men’s fury and pride.
[6]Blessed be Jehovah who has not let them devour us.
[7]We have escaped with our lives as a bird from a hunter’s snare. The snare is broken and we are free!
[8]Our help is from the Lord who made heaven and earth." The scripture above is a testimony of God's mercifulness and kindness. You and me are a testimony of God's grace and mercy that we are alive today. There are some people who also deserved to live, like you and me, but they are no more, so you have every reason to thank God for the crossover to 2022. Thank God that you are alive today, which is the greatest miracle, mankind can have. The gift of life is so precious; and we must all be grateful that we have seen today.
The Living Bible in Genesis 28:15 says,
[15]"What’s more, I am with you, and will protect you wherever you go, and will bring you back safely to this land; I will be with you constantly until I have finished giving you all I am promising.”  God's promises never fail. When He promises to to bless, He will bless you.( Numbers 23:19-20) The Living Bible in Jeremiah 29:11 says,
[11]"For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." God has better plans for you and me. He has plans to prosper you and not to harm you. He is a caring and loving God.
The Living Bible in Luke 2:10 says,
[10]"but the angel reassured them.
“Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I bring you the most joyful news ever announced, and it is for everyone!"  Finally, though you may have gone through tough and difficult times in the past, the scripture above promises us Good News which is  coming ahead, soon. Remember, the word also says, " When the time is right, the Lord will make it happen.( Isaiah 60:22) The Holy spirit revealed me that, 2022 is a "YEAR OF GOOD NEWS." Expect good news this year, any time. "2022 IS A YEAR OF GOOD NEWS" Today you and me, we have every reason to say" Mighty God " YOU HAVE KEPT US UP UNTIL TODAY" Wishing you a happy and prosperous New Year! This year, you shall testify the goodness of the Lord, while you are still here, in the land of the living!(Psalms 27:13-14)  It shall be well with you, in due season.(Galatians 6:9) 

May God richly bless you!
