WHEN ALL SEEM NOT TO BE OK.

Glory to God today marks the beginning of the month of July which is the 7th month of the 12 months of the year. Thanking my Lord Savior for making it possible to be counted among the living and having the right to rewrite the wrongs in whatever form it might have come. Since early morning of June 30th the Lord has been talking me about writing something for his people and when this happens i know someone need a word of encouragement so i will be talking to that person today about when all seem not to be ok. And this first write up will mark the series of write ups to come for the month of July has the Lord intended me to do. All through the history of the human race, humans have always have troubles is like a load place on humans this came as a result of the fall in the garden of Eden *Job 14:1*for a man born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble. This verse clearly shows we are all born weak and helpless and we are short-live and full of trouble. But does this mean God don't care for us? **Jeremiah 31: 3 NJKV** The LORD has appeared of old to me, saying: “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with loving kindness I have drawn you. ​ Has God changed from loving you ?the Answer is no you may say this was addressed to Israel true but Jesus died for all so by that extension you are part of his immeasurable and compassionate love for mankind. No matter what you are passing through, no matter what your eyes can see, you have a God who never sleeps nor slumber you have a God who has vowed to help you if only ,you hand over everything to him everything in totality and let him lead you. ***Isaiah 41:10 NKJV*** Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’ I have also found myself in very difficult times as i grow in him i have learn to depend on him solely on him you should do same, stop trusting the arms of flesh it cant help you. ****Psalm 125:1 NKJV**** A Song of Ascents. Those who trust in the LORD Are like Mount Zion, Which cannot be moved, but abides forever. trusting in God alone is what can help you out from that trouble, trusting in God is an open invitation for him to intervene when you trust you believe when you believe faith is activated when faith is activated supernatural interference happens and when it does, it wipes away every trouble and makes it impossible for it to consume you You have to understand that trouble is part of life, wilderness experience are meant to help you grow in your work and walk with God, soldiers goes through tough training, don't miss the process because of the flesh for God has already worked it out for you he did that on the cross of Calvary (John 3:16) *****John 16:33 NKJV***** These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. Give in and give it all to Jesus, is the only way out he will help you overcome, when i leant of how the will of God operates i become peaceful with myself and i was released from the pressure of captivity of wanting things my own way. God bless you as you give all to him and allow him to lead you at all times based of his perspective will for you. I love you but God loves you more, keep standing for Jesus

HAND ON THE PLOUGH

As the time runs by and we approach his coming, so many things have been a stumbling pile of concrete to our work and walk with God. I will start with comparing the workers in God's kingdom as farmers and builders which of course they are. Many have fallen by the way side because they are not ready to get dirty with the work when I mean get dirty, am not talking about literal dirtiness but to endure like a farmer or a builder who takes time and energy to sow his seeds or start a building foundation. You don't start those kind of job looking all sweet and comfortable not wanting to roll your sleeves and work. Luke 9:62* But Jesus said to him, no one having put his hand in the plough and look back is not fit for the kingdom of God. Sadly this is the position of many in the church today having tested Gods goddess yet still looking and wishing to enjoy the pleasures of the world. A farmer sets out to farm. He looks towards the task ahead and is on a mission to plow the field as much as possible. He's not looking for excuses but to finish up, and of course is not looking to go back home without achieving the task. And yes the farmer is tired and weak but yet he keeps going. Why did Jesus use the analogy or parable to describe his words because it summarizes our work on earth for the kingdom. Matthew 27:24-27 Jesus gave a parable about the wise and foolish builder one built on a solid foundation on a rock while the other built on sand and both were tested by strong rain, that brought high waters and strong winds. Are you ready to be tested? Are you building on solid ground? The work of God is no fairy tale, no easy route is not a thing we go into with a heart of indecision. Matthew 9:37* The harvest is abundant but the workers are few. This is what is happening now people are in dire need for the true gospel of Christ to reach them I'm not talking about man's idea of how we should relate with God. but the way of Christ as instructed by himself but what do we have ?many false preachers trampling on the fruits ripe for harvesting why the laborers are few. Forget about your comfort zones set out to work for this great and mighty God for a reward awaits you, a reward far greater than all the wealth of Elon musk, Jeff Bezos and Bill gates and all the billionaires before them. The time is now tomorrow may never come, make a decision now and as you do, our Lord and savior yeshua bless and empower you mightily and greatly. I love you but God loves you more.

FINDING REST IN THE LORD

Is a beautiful day isn't it? Despite all that is going on around us. I can confidently say the lord is good and I believe you can say that too because he has been so good to us. This morning as I was sitting In my office playing a very sweet song by Don  Meon, the spirit of the lord started ministering to me about Finding Rest in the Lord, and I will be sharing it with you. The world is full if troubles and turmoils people are restless because of so many problems ranging from poverty to war  economy collapse, family collapse, outbreak of diseases, etc,etc,but one thing that will never fail or bring problems into our lives is the love  we have for God. Loving God unconditionally is actually a shield of protection God doesn't play with his own he cares for his children.  The redemption of our soul and the salvation needed can only come from the love for God .For those who love God, God expects  us to have an undulated love for him a love not missed with worldly cares and worries. So we are going to see through some instances of those who pleased God  and in return God gave them rest from all sides. You see when we have too much problems, when we have no rest it is difficult to be useful optimally in the service of the Lord.   Human nature wants everything soft. God didn't promise a life without troubles and problems,for gold to be refined it needs to go through a process. .**psalm 91:1-2 **Those  who live in the shelter of the most high will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.  Read the second verse, you will understand it was from a man who knew that to have rest you have to come close very close to God making him your covering not only that ,their was a declaration made. **Psalm 91:2*** This I declare about the Lord he alone is my  refuge my place of safety he is my God and I trust him To get to a position where you make this kind of declaration is a level God can never ignore remember what he said about king David.  God said king David is man after his heart when you are after the heart of God it shows an unusual kind of love this kind of love moves God to give rest on all sides. Even though problems and troubles comes victory is very sure God never leaves his own.  Jeremiah 33:11*** when God give rest their is joy, laughter,happiness peace restoration and is  felt all around we have to give it all to God, we have to love and trust God in everything we do. **2 Chronicles 7:14***  if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray  and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land. *** to have rest you have to be **humble to acknowledged your sin.  You have to pray for forgiveness and you seek God continually **turning away from any form of wickedness**  Then restoration comes  and when it does it comes with joy,peace,happiness and rest. ***psalm 127:2*** it is useless to work from from early in the morning to late at night anxiously working for food to eat for God gives rest to his loved ones. This verse is telling us that for us to find rest in all that we do we must first love God after we have done this he makes it easier for us to find rest in whatever we do.  Because without God's intervention in our lives we will live a miserable life right through to the end of our earthly journey ***Psalm 127:2***collaborate with   *Matthew 6:33*  seek the kingdom of God above all else and live righteously and he will give you everything you need. Let's be lovers of God so we can live a life worthy of honour  this is not to say we won't face trials and tribulations but to know that you have God on your side gives you the confidence you need to push and finally having a place of rest. Proverb 24:16*** the godly may fall 7times****  finally you will find your rest it may not be here on earth, but the goal has always been to make heaven at last so work and walk with God and finally get your rest in the Lord.for jesus is all and in all, Keep Standing for jesus right through the very end.

THE SPIRIT OF RELIGION

And so the Lord says, “These people say they are mine. They honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. And their worship of me is nothing but man-made rules learned by rote. *God is not interested in outward worship devoid of inward dedication that can only come from inside the heart. *1 John 4:1* Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. So many things are happening today and you ask yourself wow this is not from God,but because the people desire no change they desire not the spirit of God which is the spirit of truth they prefer to play the religious game Which is the forerunner that leads people to hell, they deny God's Godliness and choose to live a lie. *Ephesians 4:1-16* Therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urges you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call one Lord, one faith, one baptism This passage clearly defines the difference between those who worship God in spirit and truth, it simply talked about the attribute of true spirit filled worshippers of God and not religious worshippers whose only sole purposes is to be seen as holy and to be hailed by men Let's have a revaluation of our worship. Are we still worshiping God in spirit and in truth? or have we consciously or unconsciously stray away from the truth? The religious spirit is a highly deceptive one,it can hide for years without you knowing. I have seen people who have spent 15 years in a church yet no nothing about God but feel their services in church is enough to buy them a pass into the kingdom of heaven this is a great deception let's change this and know God in truth and in spirit.And allow is spirit to rest and dwell in us.
