DON'T GO WITHOUT

DON’T GO WITHOUT!
This write up is having a cautious title. Don’t go without! As the New Year comes many have resolutions and determinations. It is a good thing to plan ahead of the New Year, but there are things we need to go with as we enter the New Year. If, you are to go without anything into the New Year, don’t go without GOD’s Presence. GOD’s Presence is very important. Moses knew the essence of GOD’s presence, when he was told to bring up the Israelites and didn’t know whom to go with. Exodus 33 vs. 13: Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, show me now thy way that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight; and consider that this nation is thy people. GOD replied him in vs. 14: And He said, my presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. Moses replied in vs. 15: And he said unto him, if thy presence goes not with me, carry us not up hence. He knew the significance of GOD’s Presence. GOD’s Presence brings rest. GOD’s Presence brings his glory and honor. It brings strength and gladness. 1 Chronicles 16 vs. 27: Glory and honor are in his presence, strength and gladness are in his place. The bible says in His presence is fullness of joy. Don’t go without GOD’s presence. I once heard the story of three small fishes; they went to GOD and asked for his protection. The first fish told GOD to give it wings to fly out of the water into the air, anytime bigger fish want to swallow it. The second fish asked GOD to carry it from the water to the shore, anytime bigger fish want to swallow it. The third fish asked for GOD’s presence anytime bigger fish want to swallow it. GOD granted them their desires. The first fish had wings to fly into the air, when a bigger fish wanted to swallow it; but unfortunately a vulture saw the flying fish and captured it. The second fish was also carried to the shore, when a bigger fish wanted to attack it, but unfortunately a man saw it on the shore and killed it. The third fish that asked for GOD’s presence was preserved and protected, when a bigger fish wanted to swallow it. The bigger fish saw GOD’s presence and turned back. That is what GOD’s presence can do. The Red Sea that parted into two, saw GOD’s presence; that made it part into two. The Lions in the den saw GOD’s presence, that made Daniel untouched and unhurt. Don’t go without GOD’s Presence.

                  David knew the essence of GOD’s Presence. Psalm 51 vs. 11: Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not thy Holy Spirit from me. He also said in Psalm 139 vs. 7: Whither shall I go from thy spirit? Or whither shall I flee from thy presence? We all need GOD’s presence as this year ends and as we enter into the New Year. GOD’s Presence can only be evident on the righteous and upright. Psalm 140 vs. 13: Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name; the upright shall dwell in thy presence. If you want GOD’s Presence to be evident on you and family, then you must live a righteous life and be upright. Jonah left the presence of GOD, by disobeying GOD, he was punished. Jonah 1 vs. 10: Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him, why hast thou done this? For the men know that he fled from the presence of the Lord, because he had told them. Don’t go without GOD’s presence. 2 Chronicle 20 vs. 9: If, when evil cometh upon us, as the sword, judgment or pestilence or famine, we stand before this house, and in thy presence, (for thy name is in this house) and cry unto thee in our affliction, then thou wilt hear and help. Don’t go without GOD’s presence. It is well with us….

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...

FREEDOM FREEDOM FREEDOM

FREEDOM FREEDOM FREEDOM Freedom is a state of being able to do what you want without anything stopping you. Galatians 5 vs 1 says: so Christ has made us free, now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get all tied up again in the chains of slavery to jewish laws and ceremonies. Christ’s death on the cross made us free, we are in bondage before, but Christ made us free. We are tied up in chains slavery to sins, but his death made us free. The bible said whosoever the son sets free, is free indeed. We have been set free, and we are free. Many misuse this freedom, many use this freedom to do the wrong things. Many still dwell in sins despite, this freedom. This freedom brings grace, love, purity and faithfulness. The bible said we can’t continue in sins and say grace to abound, GOD forbid. When you are in sin, your freedom becomes captivity again. That is why, you must flee from all appearances of sins. Paul said in Galatians 5 vs 13: For dear brothers, you ...

THE DUTY OF MAN

THE DUTY OF MAN Duty is that which one is morally obligated to do. A husband in a house is responsible for meeting his family’s needs. That is the duty of a husband. A wife is responsible for taking care of the children and also house chores. That is the duty of a wife. A school teacher’s responsibility is to teach the students. That is the teacher’s duty. A student’s responsibility is to go to school, listen to what the teacher teaches and study them. That is the student’s responsibility. Our Creator GOD created everything for a purpose. Every creation has a duty to carry out. Unfortunately, many creations have failed in their duty. When a man doesn’t carry out his duty he is termed a failure. It causes the Creator GOD nothing to replace men with stones when they fail him. I pray may you not fail GOD!                However, there is time for everything. Don’t get excited and get carried away in this world. D...
