HE THAT IS ABOVE

HE THAT IS ABOVE
To be above is to be in a higher place. To be above is to be superior. To be above is to be higher in rank, status and position. To be above is to surpass all. To be above is to be higher in all measures, degree, and volume. To be above is to be on top. John 3 vs. 31: He that cometh from above is above all; he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth; he that cometh from heaven is above all. GOD is He that is Above. He is sovereign. He sitteth in Heaven and makes the earth his footstool. Isaiah 66 vs. 1: Thus saith the LORD, the heaven is my throne and the earth is my footstool; where is the house that ye build unto me? And where is the place of my rest? No wonder his thoughts are not that of men, neither are his ways that of men. Isaiah 55 vs. 8-9: For my thoughts are not your thought, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than yours. He sitteth upon the circle of the earth and inhabitants are as grasshopper. Isaiah 40 vs. 22: It is he that sitteth upon the cicle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in. Jethro acknowledged He is above all other gods. Exodus 18 vs. 11: Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods; for in the thing therein they dealt proudly he was above them. The Psalmist wrote in Psalm 97 vs. 9:  For thou, O LORD art high above all the earth; thou art exalted far above all gods. Psalm 135 vs. 5: For I know that the LORD is great, and that our LORD is above all gods.

            Moreover, GOD our father expects us his children to also be above. Unfortunately, many are below and not above. To be above you must hearken diligently unto the voice of GOD. To be above you must observe and to do all his commandments which he commands us to do. That is when GOD will set us high above all nations of the earth. Deuteronomy 28 vs. 1: And it shall come to pass if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD  thy GOD, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy GOD will set thee on high above all nations of the earth. Vs. 13: And the LORD shall make thee the head; and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only; and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy GOD which I command thee this day to observe and to do them. As children of the GOD that is above, He expects us to be the head and not tail, above and not beneath. Start this week by asking for grace to be steadfast in observing and doing all GOD commands so he will lift you above. 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...
