I AM GRIEVED


I AM GRIEVED
To be grieved means to feel very sad. It means to mourn and to sorrow.
 Genesis 6 vs. 5-6: And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that He had made man on the earth and it grieved Him at His heart.
The “I AM ”  is GOD. He is the I AM that I AM. He becomes grieved when men fill their hearts with imaginations, thoughts that are evil. He becomes grieved when men do wicked things. The wicked are GOD’s enemy, so He grieves at them. You are part of the wicked if you grief GOD by your work of unrighteousness. All sinners are wicked.
Psalm 7 vs. 11: GOD judges the righteous, and GOD is angry with the wicked every day. Psalm 9 vs. 17: The wicked shall be turned into hell and all the nations that forget GOD. Psalm 7 vs. 9:  Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just; for the righteous GOD trieth the hearts and reins.
He becomes grieved when you put other things first than HIM. His anger was kindled against the Israelites and He sold them into the hands of the Philistine and into the hands of the children of Ammon when the Israelites choose serving baalim, ashtaroth and other gods.
Hebrews 10 vs. 31: It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living GOD.
The Israelites grieved Him, fell into his hands and they were vexed and oppressed by their enemies.
           He becomes grieved when you spare the Amalekites. The Amalekites in context represents things of the world you highly value than GOD. They can be classified simply into three lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes and pride of life. It might be fashion, might be properties, might be your job and business, and might be your ungodly relationship. Saul was instructed to totally destroy the Amalekites and everything that belong to them, but he spared Agag and the best of the sheep’s and cattle, the calves and lambs, everything that was good. He grieved GOD by not carrying out his instruction. To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams. We have to come back to GOD, though He has mercy on whom He has mercy on; and compassion on whom He has compassion upon, and ask for His mercy and compassion. We have to cast down imagination and every high thing that exalt itself against GOD’s knowledge in our lives and bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of CHRIST. Please if this piece 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...
