NO SAFE PLACE!!



NO SAFE PLACE!
I have come to the conclusion that there is no safe place on earth. We see nations rising against nations; we see one race rising against another race. We hear unpleasant news daily from the media and internet. The world now is corrupt and filled with violence. Men’s heart is full of evil and desperate; who can know it. A man’s household turns out to be his enemies; a man’s friend turns out to be his foes. Many trust in their arm of flesh for safety, but the arm of flesh fails. Many trust in horses and chariots, but horses and chariots fails. Many trust in technology, but technology fails. When you look around the world today, you will also observe no place is safe. Even palaces and earthly kingdoms with guards and reinforcements, that still doesn’t guarantee safety. Even if a man secures his house with the most expensive security gadgets and measures, that still doesn’t guarantee his safety. Navigation on the sea with the largest vessel doesn’t guarantee safety. Boarding the largest aircraft, doesn’t guarantee safety. Travelling out of your country doesn’t guarantee safety. Travelling out of your continent to another continent, doesn’t guarantee safety. The Psalmist says in Psalm 127 vs. 1: Except the LORD build the house, they labor in vain that build it; except the LORD keep the city, the watchman wakes but in vain. Proverbs 21 vs. 31: The horse is prepared against the day of battle; but safety is of the LORD. Only in GOD can safety be found. Only in GOD can safety be guaranteed. Only in His name can men be saved. The only safest place is the NAME OF THE LORD. Proverbs 18 vs. 10: The name of the LORD is a strong tower, the righteous runs into it and is safe.

             However, only the righteous can run into the NAME OF THE LORD. Only the righteous can the name work for. No wonder the Psalmist wrote in Psalm 121 vs. 7-8: The LORD shall preserve you from all evil, He shall preserve your soul. The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in, from this time fort and even for evermore. Also, Psalm 34 vs. 17-20: The righteous cry and the LORD hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. The LORD is near to them that are of a broken heart; and saves such as be of a contrite Spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous; but the LORD delivers him out of them all. He keeps all his bones, not one of them is broken. Noah was a pleasure to the LORD during his time. The bible records he was the only truly righteous man living on the earth at that time. He tried always to conduct his affairs according to GOD’s will. GOD promised to keep him safe in the ark, he was asked to build with his wife, sons and their wives and pair of each kind of bird and animals. This shows only the righteous are safe in this fearful world. There is no place, be it on the sea; underneath the sea, on the land, underneath the land, in the air a righteous man cannot live. For GOD will never for once leave nor forsake him and will always show HIMSELF strong on his behalf. 2 Chronicles 16 vs. 9a : For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth to show Himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect towards HIM. Anywhere you find yourself, you are safe when your heart is perfect towards GOD. 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...
