MIRIAM - HER LIFE STORY !

  NAME MEANING : Bitterness. HER FEAT:  She played a key role in helping preserving Moses whom God used later to deliver the Israelites from Egypt. HER REGRET  : Miriam,with all her help in preserving the life of her brother, could not enter the promised land as she for her arrogance and insurbordination. HER STORY IN BRIEF : Miriam was the only daughter among Moses and Aeron. She would comport herself when her mum, Jechrobet, hid the baby Moses from Pharaoh and his executioning team for three months. When Moses was finally taken to the river Nile and hidden in a basket by her mum, Miriam would stay a little longer than her mum did, keeping her eyes on the basket to see if anyone would reach out for it. Fourty years later, God faithfully preserved Moses and brought the Israelites - including Miriam and Aeron, out of Egypt by him - Moses. After they successfully crossed the red sea, Miriam led in the celebration of that feat. But Miriam and Aeron later stood again...

THE GRACE OF GIVING

  “…see that you also excel in this   GRACE OF GIVING .” 2 Corinthians 8:7. It’s an indisputable fact that our walk with God is strictly a walk of sacrifice or giving. We are either giving of our strength, possessions or money. But the seeds we sow, in the form of tithes, firstfruits, or thanksgiving often yield below the peak for some christians. Such are they that are advised by Apostle Paul to excel in The Grace of Giving. One may ask, “what extra Grace do we need for giving?” ; “aren’t we supposed to simply give and wait for results?” Emphatically, NO ! Giving is disciplined by principles. There’s the need for spiritual privilege – a reconditioning of The human Spirit so one can passionately, continuously and comprehensively offer of his or her own unto The Lord. And it’s only the Grace of Giving that positions us in this state. By this Grace, we first submit ourselves (our hearts ) to God; because our hearts are now governed by God, He alone – by His Spirit, determines ho...

THE LAW OF ATTRACTION

  "...that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we have gazed upon, and our hands have handled,..." John 1:1 If you consider your circle now, you will conclude that friends with whom you have similar personality outnumber those with deferring personality. You should also notice that, often times, you suddenly meet with or receive calls from, those you strongly  think of and long to see. These are manifestations of the Law of Attraction ! " The heart is DEEP beyond all things... " Jeremiah 17:9 Brenton Septuagint Translation. And Psalm 42:7 says DEEP calleth unto DEEP. Equating the two scriptures will help us deduce that, HEART calls unto HEART.  SOUL calls unto SOUL. That is the Spirit of the law - Like attracts LIKE ! Our opening verse starts with HEARING or SEEING and ends with HANDLING. Until a man hears or sees, he cannot handle. Yet, what we finally touch is always LIKE what we already hear and see according to the Law of Attra...

DORCAS

  HER CHARACTER:  An inhabitant of Joppa, a town on the Mediterranean coast, thirty-five miles northwest of Jerusalem, she belonged to one of the earliest Chris tian congrega-tions. She was a disciple known for her practical works of mercy. HER SORROW:  To have suffered a grave illness. HER JOY: To serve Jesus by serving the poor. STORY IN BRIEF: Dorcas, whose Hebrew is " Tabitha" or " Gazelle", was a disciple of The Lord Jesus - Dorcas learned of The Lord, and followed Him, forsaking her world, previous jobs and lifestyle. Dorcas was a kind - hearted lady who demonstrated her belief in Jesus by her generosity - she sewed to clothe the poor and baked to feed them. One day, she fell sick to death. So Peter's attention had been drawn to this. Peter had just healed a crippled in a city close by. Peter successfully prayed for Tabitha and she was revived.  REFERENCE SCRIPTURES: ACTS 9:36-43

REVELATION PART 2

 


"And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding."
Daniel 9:22 KJV
Our verse here lets us know that Daniel received some divine secrets from God through His angel. But how else can we obtain revelations from God? This second PART of the subject enlightens us on the ways by which we access the LIGHTS of God.

1. READING OR STUDYING.

"When you come, bring the bookcase and the books that I left in Troas with Qarpus, especially the parchment scrolls." 2 Timothy 4:13
By this verse, we understand the secret behind Pauls depth in God; Paul read stories of Bible figures; He studied the Law; He acquainted himself with the promises of God, and heard the Words of our Lord Jesus as narrated by his disciples. He even made notes, kept the books and meditated upon them constantly for Lights. Paul only taught after he had studied long enough to receive some revelations. No wonder, God wrought special miracles by his Hands. And his teachings? Extraordinary ! Now, we are privileged to have these sermons on digital platforms. As we make the most of these technological advancements, studying diligently like Paul, his kind of rewards would be our portions too - God is no respector of person.
( Acts 19:11 , Romans 2:11 & 2 Timothy 2:15 )

2. The Presence of God

"... In your Light do we see LIGHT."  Psalm 36:9.
The Bible says, God is not just a Light Himself; He gives us this LIGHT when we approach Him too. We enter his court with a grateful heart, worshipping and praising Him for His LOVE. Before long, the Holy Spirit launches us into the inner court where physical distractions are hardly noticed. Now, conversation must have been sparked. God talks back to us as we talk to Him. And we may see in part because we are still just halfway through. It is the stage where He starts granting us new Lights on the scriptures we already know. But what actually dominate this stage are the signs or languages of the angels. When we continue long enough but heartedly, the Spirit further pushes us into the last court - the Holy of Holies. It is that moment where you no longer feel the impact of your senses. You do not hear the phone ring, the door knocked nor the voice of a neighbor calling. You are with the celestials now. Unlike the preceding stage, His voices and visions are not faint or flashy; you see or hear more clearly. He also gives you deep divine understanding of the times, events or experiences and the scriptures; Daniel was a man of prayer. Paul always prayed in the Spirit. David was an addicted worshipper - the three were marvelously filled with revelations in their days. When we carry and practise God's presence as shown here, we would constantly flow in LIGHT ! ( 1 John 1:5, 1 Chronicles 16, Daniel 6:10-7, & 2 Corinthians 14:18)

3. HOLINESS.

"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God." Matthew 5:8.
Seeing God equals accessing His LIGHT. Yet this is reserved for only those that maintain purity in heart.
 Before we have our own experiences, we must first get the ticket that qualifies us into the kingdom as witnesses by becoming born again. After rebirth, we need to observe to do His word through the help of His Spirit. His word also must we constantly feed on as that would keep us sanctified from deviations. This is the life that guarantees the breaking forth of LIGHT. Again the Bible says, "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding."  Proverbs 9:10.
Daniel, a loyal and God-fearing servant had skills and understanding. Joseph eschewed the evil of sleeping with his master's wife, and God granted him revelations. Indeed, "The secret of the LORD is for those who fear Him,... " Psalm 25:14.
( John 3:3,5, Deuteronomy 281-2 & John 15:3 )

Now, "Arise! Shine! For your light arrives! The splendor of the LORD shines on you!" Psalm 60:1.
