In Time like This...
One thing we need to note is that God’s will
does not mean absence of challenges. Troubles are universal language. There is
no difference between the troubles experienced by the black from that of the
white. Your status does not make you immune from afflictions or pains. Children
experience pains and adult do go through pain. An adage says, “There is no
royal road to comfort, but life comes out of pain.” God allows them to prove
His faithfulness and supremacy over all situations. “Know therefore that the Lord
your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with
those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations,” Deuteronomy 7: 9
God is always consistent and honest to them
that are His. He does not change because of any situation but changes the
situations. He says, I am the Lord I change not. Friends may change and can be
changed because of limitations. God will always do whatever He promises to do. He
will never break His covenant with those who trust in Him. In difficult times
He is able to deliver and preserve those that cast their burdens on Him. “Cast
your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous
be shaken.” Psalm 52: 22
Individual
is faced with different challenges - temptations, persecution and afflictions.
They are not meant to destroy us but to draw us closer to God and to brethren
for genuine relationship. In time like this, you need divine connection. Joseph
was divinely connected for revelations concerning his destiny in this world of
darkness. When tribulations, persecution and slander came, the Bible says, “The
LORD was with Joseph so that he prospered, and he lived in the house of his
Egyptian master” Genesis 39: 2. Read: Acts 7: 9; Genesis 21: 20; Joshua 6: 27;
1Samuel 3: 19; 18: 14; 2Kings 18: 7.
If you are divinely connected you shall never be disconnected from success. Therefore stay connected with God and your fellow brethren. It is then your struggle will be ‘strangled’ in Jesus name. Amen. The Lord shall increase my greatness, and He shall comfort me on every side.

REMEMBER CAIN AND HIS OFFERING
Giving offering to
God is as old as man. The offering to be considered here is the ones offered by
Cain. There are many interpretations of the action of Cain and God's response
to his sacrifice. Some said God rejected Cain's sacrifice because it was from fruit.
In other words, farmers cannot offer acceptable offering with their produce.
Such prejudgement is a contradiction of the Scripture that commands us to give
first fruit to God. Jesus uses both animals and fruit to teach about the
kingdom of God. Proverbs 3:9-10 says, "Honour the LORD with thy substance,
and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:"
Another school of
thought believes the sacrifice was bloodless which the reason for rejection was.
The implication is that God is bloody. Every sacrifice is an exchange of value;
therefore it is not the blood that makes the sacrifice more acceptable. Hebrews 13:15 -
By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that
is, the fruit of [our] lips giving thanks to his name.
Considering other
relevant Bible passage on Cain's offering, it will be discovered that the
state of the heart determines God's response rather than substance. “By faith
Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he
had witness borne to him that he was righteous, God bearing witness in respect
of his gifts: and through it he being dead yet speaketh” ( Hebrew 11:4).
Whatever offering you give without faith is abominable to
God. He looks into the heart if you actually honour Him by trusting with all
your heart.
An acceptable sacrifice involves the following:
1.
Putting
God first in determining what you offer to Him
2.
Giving
to God in faith and humility not ostentatiously
3.
The
favour of God as supreme over the fatness of offering.
As you offer your sacrifice, remember Cain and his offering. Give
your best to God by faith and humility. The Lord shall surely bless you in
Jesus name.

IN THE HEAT OF THE DAY
Text: Gen 18:1, 2. 21:1.
17/05/2013
Everyone that God paid a visit enjoyed unprecedented miracles. The visitation of God brings a harvest of miracles. The period between the visitation and your miracles call for keeping the faith alive. This is so because of distractions, afflictions, persecution and difficulties that challenge our stand for God’s will. Keep your faith alive and you shall surely get to your promised land.
In Genesis 18:1 God appeared to Abraham in the heat of the day. He will appear to you today in Jesus name. His appearance revives the soul of Abraham who was probably depressed in the tent door in the heat of the day. There was reunion in the family V6 Perhaps they had just argued on the situation in the family in the heat of the day. Sarah was in the tent alone while Abraham was outside, but God’s visitation pushed the husband back home. Your joy that stands at a distant from you in the heat of the day will rush back to you in Jesus name.
Whatever troubles that scatter your marriage will receive the visitation of God today in Jesus name. Once that happens there will be coming together -a moment of rejuvenation. This is a period of revived hope and aspiration in your life; stop blaming each other for your misfortune. What the enemies want for you is to put things apart so that they will establish their evil deeds. Such intention shall fail in Jesus name.
Divine visitation breaks yokes. Yokes are limits that dictate the pace of your progress. No matter how old or strong is the demonic yoke in your life; God is able to dismantle them all. They dictate your sense of direction and determine your height. Yokes are preset to cub any move apart from what the yoke can accommodate.
Barriers turn you away from miracle points. The barrier mounted on your way to greatness by your adversaries is broken down in Jesus name. Pray this prayer now. Every Yoke that limits my success in life is broken in Jesus name. It hinders one from getting to where you can received favour and attention.
Abraham’s attention was already diverted to Hagar. Sarah could no more found favour in the sight of Abraham. The day God visited their family; Abraham returned to Sarah and forgot Hagar.
When the Israelites were in bondage in Egypt, they needed God to visit them according to Joseph’s prayer. Gen 50:24, 25. At the appointed time God visited them, liberated them and led them to their promised land. You will get to your promised land. Exodus 3:16, 4:31; 13:19; 32:34; Ruth 1:6; 1sam 2:21; Psalm 17:3; 69:9; Zeph 2:7; 10:3; Luke 1:6:78…
Every veil hiding your glory is torn into two in Jesus name

I command your glory to come forth and shine in Jesus name
