THE ONLY STRENGTH

THE ONLY STRENGTH
We bless GOD for his faithfulness thus far in our lives. As this year gradually comes to an end and as we embark on the New Year, we need strength. When a man wants to climb a ladder, he needs strength; when he wants to descend from the ladder he also needs strength. Strength is the quality or degree of being strong. Strength is needed in all ramifications. The bible says for by strength shall no man prevail. Without strength we are weak and powerless. In battles, strength is needed; in challenges strength is needed, in trials and temptations strength is needed, in storms strength is needed to overcome. Strength is the opposite of weakness. Proverbs 23 vs. 10: If thou faint in the days of adversity, thy strength is small. You need strength to stand firm and strong in the days of adversity. When you have strength, your wisdom and knowledge increase. Proverbs 24 vs. 5: A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength. Ecclesiastes 10 vs. 10 says: If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength; but wisdom is profitable to direct. Strength is needed. The only strength we need comes from GOD. The strength of men fails in the days of battle, challenges, tribulation, and adversity. Only GOD’s strength brings wisdom and increaseth knowledge. 2 Samuel 22 vs. 33-35: GOD is my strength and power; and He makes my way perfect. He makes my feet like hinds feet; and sets me upon my high places. He teaches my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by my arms. GOD’s strength keeps you going, no matter what people say around you. GOD’s strength keeps you going in the New Year. GOD’s strength keeps you going no matter the adversity, challenges, circumstances, battles because you will be more than a conqueror.
               Isaiah 30 vs. 15: For thus says the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel: In returning and rest shall you be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength; and you would not. The only strength we need is to trust in GOD. We have to come back to GOD believing him for his strength. Vs. 16: But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses, therefore shall they that pursue you be swift. GOD’s strength is paramount, that is the only strength a man needs. Trusting in chariots and horses will fail you. Psalm 20 vs. 7-8: Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but we will remember the name of the Lord our GOD. They are brought down and fallen, but we are risen, and stand upright. Only those that trust in GOD are strengthened. Only those that trust in GOD stand upright. Isaiah 40 vs. 31: But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run, and not be weary, and they shall walk, and not faint. We need to trust in GOD, so he can renew our strength as the year ends and as the New Year comes. Many will run and be weary, many will walk and faint. Only those that wait on GOD will he strengthen. Philippians 4 vs. 13: I can do all things through CHRIST which strengthens me. We need the only strength which comes from GOD, to do all things. 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...
