DWELT LONG ENOUGH

DWELT LONG ENOUGH
This write up is titled Dwelt long enough. To dwell is to live and reside. It means to abide and remain in a place. It means to linger which means staying or remaining in a place or situation. Many a time there are situations and circumstances that keep one at a spot. Many have dwelt so long at a spot not because they are willing to remain there, but because burdens are on their shoulders and yokes are tied to their necks. Imagine, when something carries a heavy load and also has its neck tied to a spot. Such a thing won’t progress, such a thing will be so weak; such a thing won’t be able to possess its possessions, such a thing will be stagnated at that point, such a thing will have hope dashed and lost, such a thing dies gradually. Many are like this; they have dwelt long enough because they have burdens on their shoulders and yokes on their necks. Many have been enslaved and are dwelling on a spot. Just like the Israelites were enthralled in Egypt, they couldn’t see the promise land GOD promised them until GOD sent Moses to lead them out of Egypt. Also, thus says the LORD in Isaiah 10 vs. 27: And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off your shoulder, and his yoke from off your neck and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.

              
However, the LORD told Moses and the Israelites they have dwelt long enough on Mount Horeb. He told them to advance into countries and declared He has set the land before them for possession. Deuteronomy 1 vs. 6-7: The LORD our GOD spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount. Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates. Vs. 8: Behold, I have set the land before you, go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to give unto them and to their seed after them. Dwelling long at a point, prevent one from seeing inheritances and possessions. It prevents one from getting to the Promised Land. It prevents one from fulfillment of GOD’s plan for the life. There are possessions set before us by our Father GOD, we need to break forth, walk out of that spot, before we can possess them. Many have dwelt long enough on their problems and difficulties; dwelling long enough on a problem won’t solve the problem. Where are you dwelling so long? It’s time to turn to GOD, take your journey and enter into your possessions. David never dwelt so long on his circumstances, though he was distressed and down when Amalekites took all their possessions, rather he enquired from GOD; saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? Shall I overtake them? And He answered him, Pursue: for thou shall surely overtake them, and without fail recover all. The inheritances are there, the possessions are there you need to be there to possess them. 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...

FAITHFUL WHO HAD PROMISED.

FAITHFUL WHO HAD PROMISED To be faithful is to be reliable, worthy of trust and consistent with reality. A faithful man pledges and might later be unfaithful. For instance, couples make vows at the altar during their wedding, but these vows don’t stop the man or woman from breaking promises and vow. A married man finds himself cheating outside marriage despite all vows made during his wedding, because he is not faithful. You find cheating outside marriage is a common thing now, which shouldn’t be. Husbands drink from your own well, stick to her and figure out things by praying together. Wives drink from your own well, stick to him no matter what he has done. A man is not the faithful who had promised, because men fails and break their promise. Only GOD is the faithful who had promised. The bible said cursed be he that put his trust in the arm of flesh. The arm of flesh will surely fail. You been promised something by your uncle or aunt doesn’t guarantee you will be given the th...
