THE SNARE OF THE FOWLER

THE SNARE OF THE FOWLER
Life as we know is full of challenges. You cannot please men; they will still find faults in you. The bible says the heart of men is wicked and desperate; who can know it. Many conceal wickedness in their hearts against their fellow being. Many laugh with you and still afflict you. Even, if you are good to them that doesn’t stop them from been bad to you. The world is full of wickedness and a lot of snares from the fowler. A snare is a form of trap while a fowler is a hunter. A hunter hunts for animals and uses the trap many times to catch them. In this world, we have fowlers of destiny and life. They hunt down men and ensure GOD’s promise doesn’t come to pass in the life of a man. The Psalmist also confirmed this; surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the noisome pestilence. Only GOD can deliver us from the snares of the fowler. The snares are evident everywhere in the world. The devil himself is the master of the fowlers, their aim is to kill, steal and destroy. We must be aware of these as believers, so we won’t be their victims.

                     Bigthana and Teresh in the bible were fowlers of life. They made plans to kill King Xerxes, they became angry of the King and they were the King’s officers that guarded the door way. Many have been killed by fowlers of life, fowlers are always angry with you. They see nothing good in you despite you been good to them. Mordecai learnt about their plans and told Queen Esther, before they were both hanged on a post. The bible says “whoso digs shall fall therein and he that rolls a stone, it will return upon him”. The fowler digs pit in form of snare and ensure their victims falls into it. The fowlers roll stones to their victims just to hurt them. Only GOD can deliver us from the fowlers. They are everywhere in our families, place of work and anywhere. Mordecai himself was almost hunted and killed by the fowler. Haman was his fowler, he was not satisfied with killing only Mordecai, but wanted to find a way to destroy all of Mordecai’s people; the Jews in all of Xerxes kingdom. That is what a fowler can do; they are not satisfied until they see your downfall. They don’t rest and sleep until they see your downfall. They don’t rest and sleep until their victims are hunted down. GOD disgraced Haman, he dug a pit for Mordecai, but he himself fell into it. He rolled a stone at Mordecai, but the stone returned to him. This is what GOD can do. He GOD causes the fowler’s snare to catch himself. Whether you do good or bad, the fowler’s snare is always set. You need to believe in GOD, so you can be more than Conqueror. It is well with us…..

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...

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...

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...
