LOSING YOUR CLOAK THAN LOSING HIS PRESENCE.

          LOSING YOUR CLOAK THAN LOSING HIS PRESENCE
I start with 2 Corinthians 3 vs. 17: Now the LORD is that Spirit; and where the Spirit of the LORD is, there is liberty. Psalm 16 vs. 11: Thou will show me the path of life; in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand is pleasure forevermore. GOD’s presence carries His Glory. GOD’s presence carries His Spirit. GOD’s presence carries His power. There is fullness of joy in His presence. At His presence hills melt like wax. Psalm 97 vs. 5: The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the LORD of the whole earth. The Red sea parted into two and the children of Israel were able to go on dry ground through the midst of the sea, because GOD’s presence was with them. David knew the importance of GOD’s presence. He said in Psalm 51 vs. 10-12: Create in me a clean heart, O GOD, and renew a right Spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy Holy Spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. GOD’s presence is important in a man’s life. It is paramount to be a carrier of GOD’s presence.
              

However, Moses told GOD if thy presence goes not with me, carry us not up hence. GOD told Moses to depart and lead the Israelites to the land He promised their fathers; but He said I will send an angel before thee; because of the Israelite’s stiff neck. Exodus 33 vs. 1-3 (NIV): Then the LORD said to Moses, leave this place, you and the people you brought up out of Egypt, and go up to the land I promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, saying: I will give it to your descendants. I will send an angel before you and drive out the Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. Go up to the land flowing with milk and honey. But I will not go with you, because you are stiff necked people and I might destroy you on the way. Sin and unrighteousness causes a man to lose the presence of GOD. The Israelites committed sin and this caused GOD to call them stiff necked people. GOD cannot behold iniquities, for His eyes are too pure. It is better to lose your desires than lose His presence. Vs. 13-15: Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight; shew 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. And He said, my presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. And he said unto unto HIM; if thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence. Moses pointed out the essence of GOD’s presence in that passage. Joseph lose his cloak and fled from his master’s wife, than him losing and fleeing from GOD’s presence. No wonder GOD’s presence was with him even in the prison and brought him into the palace. Genesis 39 vs. 11-13 (NIV): One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside. She caught him by his cloak and said, come to bed with me! But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house. When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house.

                 Samson was ignorant he has lost GOD’s presence. He lost it on Delilah’s lap. Judges 16 vs. 19-20: And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him. And she said, the Philistines be upon thee Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he wist not that the LORD was departed from him. Many are ignorant they have lost GOD’s presence; many never even experienced it before. Ask GOD like David to create in you a clean heart and renew a right spirit within you. Thirst for His presence and ask Him to release His Holy Spirit unto you. Never lose GOD’s presence for once; always be a carrier of His presence. If this write up has blessed you, kindly share with others. 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...
