WATCH OUT 2

                                    WATCH OUT 2
Everyone needs to watch out. Nobody is excluded; JESUS knew we need to watch out, that is why he said watch and pray, so you won’t fall into temptation. Temptation will surely come, whether you like it or not. Jesus himself was tempted while on earth, so who are we not to be tempted. Expect temptation, because they will surely come. We just need to watch out and pray so we don’t fall into them. By watching we need to take cognizance of all works of flesh, things that exalt itself against GOD in our life. And by praying we need to pray against the author of temptation, the tempter itself the devil. The bible says resist the devil and he shall flee. Jesus resisted him, get thee behind me devil, we need to do likewise to overcome temptation.
           Furthermore, Cain didn’t know all these, he allowed his weakness to wax stronger, he wasn’t able to overcome temptation, rather he was conquered by it. Temptation waited for him, he refused to watch out, he refused to obey, he refused to pray against it. He was conquered by it and afterwards regretted. Show me a man that prays and watch out against temptation and I will tell you he will overcome temptation.
    Genesis 4 vs. 8: one day Cain suggested to his brother, let’s go out into the fields and while they were together there, Cain attacked and killed his brother. His weakness(anger) was strengthen and he was conquered by temptation killing his brother. What a tragedy! GOD knows all, he knew Cain will be tempted to do such, that was why the warning came in vs. 7: It can be bright with joy, if you will do what you should. Have you being conquered by temptation? Have you allowed your weakness to overpower you? You need to go down on your kneels and ask GOD for his mercy, rend your hearts and not your garment. GOD is a merciful GOD, he might still show mercy; but know you can’t miss  the punishment. There is always punishment for wrong doings, obedience is better than sacrifice. Cain was banished  from his ground, because he defiled the ground with his brother’s blood. No longer did it yield crops for him, even if he toils on I t forever. Hmm! GOD of misery

        Beloved, let watch out, so we don’t fall into temptation. it is well with us……

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...
