JOY : Not only did he successfully bring out the Israelites from Egypt, but he had the privilege to be called, " Friend of God."  STORY IN BRIEF:   MOSES, a son of Jechrobe and Amram, and the last of Aeron and Miriam. Moses was born at the time Pharaoh ordered that all Israelites young males be killed. So her mum had to preserve him till she was ordered to go leave him at the bank of a river. Pharaoh's daughter who later found Moses in a basket on the river, cared for him in their palace through his maturity. God would later call Moses by the burning bush and task him to lead out the Israelites out of Egypt.  Moses did not only achieve that but also successfully brought his followers out through the red sea. Moses was burried by God in Moab, at the summit of Nebo's mountain whe...

KEEP YOUR HEART WELL.

    " Keep thy heart with all diligence; For out of it are the issues of life." Proverbs  4:23. KJV. Lot of the things christians are surrounded by today in this world, chiefly the social media, are not helpful. It is the reason why our opening verse suggests that we guard our hearts. Now, the mouth speaks out of the abundance of the heart. And these spoken words go a long way to shape our lives. It's therefore patent that we can only let out good words when we first stock our hearts with positive information and faith-filled words. The two main gateways to the heart are the eyes and the ears. Now, guarding the heart means preventing negative information from reaching it through these main channels. That means, friends and environments that pose as potential threats to the peace, joy and love in our hearts must be barred.  Disclosed below are a few ways by which we can keep our hearts as we journey through this world. 1. Mind your Mind:   "A good man produces go...

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.
