BE STILL

BE STILL!
The word still means calmness, quiet or silent. It also means soft and gentle. Many a time in circumstances, many lose their stillness. Many are anxious and get worried. Many become disquieted and restless. Many are impatient when it comes to waiting on GOD. Waiting on GOD requires calmness and stillness. GOD’s way are not ours, His thoughts are not ours. His thoughts and plans toward us are of good and not of evil to give us an expected end. That expected end of yours will be accomplished only if you are still. We humans in this present world lack patience. Many find it difficult to exercise patience. Many find it difficult waiting on GOD. GOD is capable of doing exceeding; abundantly above all we could ever ask or think of. Ephesians 3 vs. 20: Now to HIM that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us. Believing GOD for something and answers are yet to come doesn’t mean GOD will still not do. You have to be still for He will be glorified at last over what you are believing HIM for. Only those who are still when waiting on GOD will He strengthen. Only those who are still when waiting on GOD will run and not be weary; walk and not faint. Psalm 27 vs. 14: Wait on the LORD, be of good courage and He shall strengthen your heart; wait I say on the LORD. 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.
             Moreover, GOD himself speaks with a still voice. He spoke to Elijah in a still small voice. 1 King 19 vs. 12-13: And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice. And it was so, when Elijah heard it that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice to him, and said what do you here, Elijah? The Psalmist wrote in Psalm 23 vs. 2: He makes me to lie down in the green pasture; He leads me beside the still waters. The Good Shepherd JESUS leads his sheeps we his children through the still waters so we can be restored and strengthened; and also because He Himself is Still. Job was told to stand still and consider the wondrous works of GOD. Job 37 vs. 14: Hearken to this, o Job; stand still, and consider the wondrous works of GOD. On a final note, Psalm 107 vs. 29: He makes the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. Those storms, difficulties, challenges, battles, unrest, sorrows, adversity, disturbances, confrontations can be still and calm only if we believe and know GOD is capable of making them still. Psalm 46 vs. 10: Be still and know that I am GOD; I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. GOD will be exalted and glorified over any challenges, adversity, disturbances, unrest, sorrow, reproach, difficulties of yours; just be still and know He is GOD. Has this write up blessed you? Kindly, share with others. It is well with us…

WHEN YOUR SAMUEL COMES

WHEN YOUR SAMUEL COMES Hannah made a vowed which GOD honors and remembered her.   1 Samuel 1 vs. 19-20: And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD and returned and came to their house to Ramah; and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her. Wherefore it came to pass when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying because I have asked him of the LORD.      What a wonderful GOD! She asked for a man child and He gave her exactly. She should have asked for sets of twin or triplet, which GOD would have given her. There is nothing GOD cannot do, He cannot be limited. With Him all things are possible. Mind you Hannah fulfilled her vow by giving the son back to him. Many make vows and don’t fulfill it. Be conscious of these, GOD’s way are not the ways of men, His thoughts are not ours. GOD has his own timing. His timing doesn’t match with the timing of ...

TOLERANCE

TOLERANCE I start quoting Robert Green Ingersoll “Tolerance is giving every other human being every right that you claim for yourself ”. This is a virtue every man scarcely has nowadays. Men nowadays find it difficult to tolerate each other. In all religions, Christians are to exhibit tolerance the most; because CHRIST stated that it’s the second greatest commandment. Matthew 22 vs.38-39: This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. But the reverse is the case now, most Christians exhibit intolerance. They can’t tolerate their Christian brothers talk less of those outside their religion. This is awful and not so good. Hebrews 13 vs. 1-2: Let brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unaware. Abraham exhibited tolerance, he suddenly noticed three men coming toward him and ran to meet them and welcomed them. He gave them water to wash their feet’s...

WINNING THROUGH TESTIMONIES

WINNING THROUGH TESTIMONIES 2! An earthly father will be delighted and willing to do more for his son or daughter, when she/he shows gratitude. How will you feel when you give something tangible to a person and he didn’t show gratitude? You will feel unwilling to do more for such person. Our heavenly Father deserves to be shown gratitude for all He has done in our lives. Thank GOD for what He has done in the past, what He is doing presently and what He will do in the future. There is no little testimony; you just have to appreciate GOD for his faithfulness and marvelous deeds. Marvelous deeds like, the gift of life, which is the greatest of all blessings, good health and sound mind, sleeping and waking up. Many slept and never woke up, while many find it difficult to sleep. We have to see reasons to appreciate GOD; doing these will gladden Him to do more for us.              However, problems, trials, challenges might be in...
