SEEK NOT YET REPOSE.

SEEK NOT YET REPOSE
A hymn says Christians seek not yet repose, cast thy dreams of ease away, thou art in the midst of foes, watch and pray. Principalities and powers, mustering their unseen array, wait for thy unguarded hours watch and pray. To repose is to lie at rest and to be at ease. The bible says we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Many a time we are at ease, our adversaries are not, they are going about seeking for whom to devour. We must rise up and wherefore take unto us, the whole armor of GOD that we may be able to withstand in the evil day and having done all to stand. The evil day’s cometh, the days of battle lies ahead, we must be prepared, we are not to be weary; we are not to be at ease. The bible says right from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of Heaven suffered violence and violence take it by force. We are to be aggressive, for the enemies are; we are to pray without ceasing. We are to study to show ourselves approve unto GOD, a workman that needed not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. We are to pull down everything that exalts itself against GOD, we are not to be lukewarm, and if we are he will spill us out of his mouth. We are to be on fire always because the devil is not resting.

                 However, the devil target our unguarded hours to strike us, the bible says but while men slept his enemies came and sow tares among his wheat and left. While we sleep naturally we are powerless, but a watchful and a prayerful man is powerful both physically and spiritually. A prayerful and watchful man is not at ease and rest, GOD will send his angels to encamp round him; the enemies won’t even near him, because of GOD’s Angels. The bible says when our enemies come like flood; the spirit of GOD will lift up a standard against them. The standard only works for a watchful and prayerful man. I want you to know this; the enemies will surely come as flood to attack, but only an alerted, a prayerful and watchful man will they not prevail against. Be alerted! Be watchful! Be prayerful! It is well with us…..

WORK ON THE WORD 2!

WORK ON THE WORD 2! David knew the essence of working on GOD’s word. He wrote in Psalm 33 vs. 4 (NIV): For the word of the LORD is right and true, he is faithful in all he does. He also hid GOD’s word in his heart that he might not sin against HIM. Psalm 119 vs. 11: Your words have I hidden in my heart that I might not sin against you. Storing GOD’s word in our heart and doing according to it is working on the word. Keeping GOD’s commandment is working on his word. Proverbs 7 vs. 1-2: My sons, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with you. Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of your eye.               Furthermore, working on GOD’s word is being the hearer and doer of the word. James wrote in James 1 vs. 22-24:  But be you doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer; he is like to a man beholding his natur...

WHEN YOUR SAMUEL COMES

WHEN YOUR SAMUEL COMES Hannah made a vowed which GOD honors and remembered her.   1 Samuel 1 vs. 19-20: And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD and returned and came to their house to Ramah; and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her. Wherefore it came to pass when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying because I have asked him of the LORD.      What a wonderful GOD! She asked for a man child and He gave her exactly. She should have asked for sets of twin or triplet, which GOD would have given her. There is nothing GOD cannot do, He cannot be limited. With Him all things are possible. Mind you Hannah fulfilled her vow by giving the son back to him. Many make vows and don’t fulfill it. Be conscious of these, GOD’s way are not the ways of men, His thoughts are not ours. GOD has his own timing. His timing doesn’t match with the timing of ...

RETAINING YOUR INTEGRITY

RETAINING YOUR INTEGRITY Integrity is a word which means steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code. It also means the quality or condition of being complete and pure. It could also mean honesty, uprightness, purity, sincerity, decency, virtuous and wholeness. To retain is to keep in possession and maintain something. Many a time people find it difficult retaining their integrity. It takes determination to stand on your integrity. Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. GOD is a lover of men of integrity. Daniel 1 vs. 8-9: But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. Now GOD had brought Daniel into favor and tender love wi...
