THE MORE GLORIOUS WAYS OF GOD !

 With God , we SCATTER to GATHER. We LOSE to WIN. We DECREASE to INCREASE. That which we LET GO, we KEEP into eternity; by GIVING, we RECEIVE, even more. And when we go QUIET, then we’re HEARD. What a life! Indeed, GOD'S WAYS ARE HIGHER THAN THE WAYS OF MEN ! References: ( Isaiah 55:9, Proverbs 11:24 & Luke 17:33 )

THE SHUNAMITE WOMAN

  She lived in Jezreel, specifically along a road that links Jerusalem to Bethlehem. Being a generous woman, she agreed with her husband and made a resting place on the top of their building for Elisha who mostly plied that road. One day, when the shunamite saw Elisha travelling the road again with his servant she invited them over into her house and showed her kindness so much to the Prophet's satisfaction. Thus, Elisha sought through his servant, Geharzi, to reward her gesture but the woman sharply objected to it. The Prophet then asked his servant if there was any favour he could use his influence with the King of Israel to offer her but the woman would still reject that offer. So he asked Geharzi to suggest a reward for the woman. When the servant mentioned that the woman had no child, Elisha declared that they would have one a year's time from then, which the Lord also fulfilled. When this child died some years later, the woman went laid him in Elisha's room. But God r...

REAPING THE HARVEST

  To everything, there is a season - a time to sow, and a time to reap; the farmer ( sower ) certainly has his time of harvest but until he waters his seeds, rids the wheats of the tares and applies the fertilizer he is not guaranteed a good yield. So also is every other sower. Until harvest time comes, there is always something we must do in order to maximize our yield. Some of these are explained below: 1. Clear the weeds from your field “And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.”—Genesis 2:15, KJV The word translated keep in Hebrew means “to put a hedge of thorns around, to watch over; to guard, protect and safeguard.” When a farmer plants seed in a garden, he doesn’t just walk away and hope for the best. No! He has much to do to protect his crop. And so do you. What can choke your crop? Walking outside of love. This includes unforgiveness, bitterness and strife. So, keep a watch on your heart, pull the “weeds” out by the root...

CAIN

  MEANING OF NAME:   Acquisition, fabrication or possessed.  STORY IN BRIEF: Eldest son of Adam and Eve, the first man to be born naturally, and founder of the family of Kenites (Kenite is called Kain in the Hebrew) The terrible story of Cain proves how quickly man’s fallen nature developed. Soon after that, he became desperately wicked; it was by him Polygamy started.  By calling Cain was an agriculturist, but he was not happy in his calling since he did not fear God. His heart became jealous as he witnessed the happiness of his brother Abel and his favor with God. Ultimately he yielded to his jealous feelings and slew Abel, just as the Jews for envy sought Christ’s death. Because Cain’s heart was destitute of love, his sacrifice had no heart in it and was therefore miserable, worthless and unacceptable to God. “The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, but the prayer of the upright is His delight.” Cain was right in his desire to bring an offe...

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...

REMEMBER THE LORD !




 



” Remember the former things long past,

For I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is no one like Me…”
Isaiah 46:9.

Often times, we blame our stagnancy or retrogression in life on the devil, curses or some covens elsewhere rather than taking a self-check on our own attitudes to see where we miss it. It’s worth noting that forgetting God’s goodness and the kind gestures shown us by others is also a sin that can hold one back in life. Jesus, having this insight, would always give attributes to the Father in Him as the doer of His works. The following paragraphs reveal more on the need to remember the positives.

“For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, …” Hebrews 6:10.

If forgetfulness is unrighteous, then remembrance is righteousness ! One personal attitude I’ve always thanked God for is that, I always dwell on the positives of people ignoring their errs no matter how hurting it could be. And this should be every believer’s lifestyle too. The verse above shows that in spite of our mistakes, God still rewards us for our good works.  Now, if we’re going to imitate God as Paul suggests in Ephesians 5:1, then we must equally remember God’s benefits and the goodness of others in our lives, by honoring them materially and with word of mouth.

” Remember the LORD your God. He is the one who gives you power to be successful,…” Deuteronomy 8:18.

Secondly, remembrance enables God to preserve and sustain His blessings in our lives. But how does it happen ? Back in the old testament, the Israelites only praised God when they saw God’s Glory descend over Moses’ tent. And God, satisfied with this form of worship, never denied them of His presence. Now, seeing the Glory of God connotes remembering His goodness. So when we behold His Glory by remembering His BLESSINGS in our lives, it results in spontaneous praises unto His name and the giving of thanks, financially or materially. This in turn, provokes God to divinely enable us with His power to achieve more.

Thirdly, testimonies abound through remembrance. Let’s be quick to know that testimonies in themselves are so powerful that the Psalmist would pray, ” The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live…” Psalm 119:144.  Each time I want to seal and protect every new blessing from God, I consciously go testifying about it at  church and before my friends. Remembering God would mean meditating on The miracles of God and sharing theme with others.

Beloved, remember The Lord from afar. Regardless of where you are today – your status in finace, education, family, career, and relationship, let’s strive to honour the goodness of God and people in our lives.  That way, much more would be accomplished through our walk with The Lord ! – Jeremiah 51:50.
