THE WANDERED SHEEP

                                             THE WANDERED SHEEP
Greetings to all in the name of our GOD. How has our walk with GOD being? The topic before us is termed the wandered sheep. What is a wandered sheep? who is a wandered sheep? These we shall elucidate. To wander is to move away from the place you ought to be or the people you are with. It is to go stray. Also it means a person’s mind or thoughts to stop being directed on something and to move without much control to other ideas. Many have drifted and wandered away, as believers or as GOD’s creation we are sheep’s and he is our shepherd. The psalmist says the lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. JESUS is the good shepherd he keeps and nurture us, that we may not lack nor want anything. So many of us are a wandered sheep, we have gone astray from the shepherd. We have left the place the shepherd put us. Our thoughts are not godly again. We take decisions on our own; we don’t ask the good shepherd on our decisions again. It is a disaster, lets picture this in a normal life, when a sheep goes beyond where the shepherd leads it, it wanders and get lost from other sheeps, that is how it is. In turn, if the sheep follows the shepherd’s rule, it won’t go astray; that is the picture am painting.
 Unfortunately, most believers are lost, they have gone into the world and drifted away from the good shepherd’s plan for their lives. The psalmist says he maketh me to lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside the still waters, he restoreth my soul. When you are led and guided by the good shepherd you will be nourished, refreshed and restored. It continues yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me. A sheep needs not worry, when a good sheep leads it; even though it encounters death, the good shepherd is there, because he himself conquered death. Are you a wandered sheep? Maybe you realized you have drifted from GOD’s plans for your life; you are a wandered sheep. A wandered sheep is he who is not led by the spirit. The bible said as many that are led by the spirit of GOD are the sons of GOD. A wandered sheep knows he no longer enjoy peace of mind like before; he is afraid of tomorrow. He has lost interest in the things of the spirit. A wandered sheep walks not in the spirit, he fulfills the work of the flesh. He is open to all dangers of life, because there is no one leading and guiding it. What a disaster, he has lost direction; he heads anywhere even if the zone he heads to is a danger zone, something is missing the Good shepherd.
               Finally, if you find yourself in the category of the wandered sheep; it is not the end, but you have to find your way back to the Good shepherd, before it’s too late. 1Peter 2 vs 24 says: he personally carried the load of our sins in his own body, when he died on the cross so that we can be finished with sins and live a good life from now on. vs 25 says: like the sheep you wandered away from GOD, but now you have returned to your shepherd, the guardian of your souls who keep you safe from all attacks, come back to him. It is well…….

AN OUTCAST

AN OUTCAST An outcast is one that has been excluded from a society or system. He is labeled a beggar. He is an outsider. An outcast is a person that lacks care. An outcast is neglected and overlooked. He is demoralized. He is wounded in heart. He is labeled whom no one cares. He is one that has lost hope. He is one who is frustrated and dejected. He is one who is always deep in thoughts and sorrowful. He is one who lives like a foreigner in his own land. He is one who is distressed. He is one who gets dispossessed of his possessions. He is one who is perplexed. He is one who is troubled on every side. He is one who is despair. He is afraid of tomorrow. CHRIST came that we might have a restored hope. He came to bare that burden of ours. He came to give us that expected end. He came that we might have peace. He came that we might be healed . Isaiah 53 vs. 5: But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and w...

OUR DAYS.

OUR DAYS Greetings to all reading on this platform worldwide. I write on this topic OUR DAYS even as   my twin sister and I are a year older today. Glory be to GOD for a new year and a new day. A song says great is thy faithfulness, Oh LORD my father, morning by morning new mercies we see, all we have needed his hands have provided, Great is thy faithfulness. Truly great is his faithfulness toward all men. Many are not convinced of these, many don’t see something special in GOD’s faithfulness towards them. David said “Then I lay down and slept in peace and woke up safely, for the LORD was watching over me. He GOD never sleeps nor slumber over us, we just find out we sleep and before you know it, you open your eye to a new day. This is the LORD’s doing and it should be marvelous in our sights. We are to see reasons to always appreciate and thank GOD for his goodness, mercies and faithfulness. That you are alive shows He is faithful. The gift of life which is the greatest of...

TRAPPED BY YOUR OWN DESIRES 1

TRAPPED BY YOUR OWN DESIRES 1 Everybody has a desire and some desires glorify GOD, while some do not. Desire is a strong feeling of wanting something. Many get trapped by their desires. The LORD our GOD knows our needs, desires and expectations; we are to delight ourselves in the LORD, commit our ways unto the LORD so he can give us our desires. Psalm 37 vs. 4-5: Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. Many have desires that are against GOD’s will. Many have desires that will take the place of GOD. Many have desires that will lead to disobedience to GOD’s will. Paul said in 2 Corinthians 10 vs. 5: Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalt itself against the knowledge of GOD, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of CHRIST. There are imaginations and desires that will repel a man from GOD’s plan and will for his life. W...
