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.

ONCE A FAITHFUL WIFE, AND NOW A PROSTITUTE

ONCE A FAITHFUL WIFE, AND NOW A PROSTITUTE! Compliments of the season from this side of the world to you all!!! Knowledge of the Truth is back and better this year. And I pray this year shall be a favorable one for us all. The word Faithful means reliable, worthy of trust, loyal and adhering firmly to a rule. It means consistency. It means fidelity. As a wife, it is expected you are reliable, worthy of trust, loyal and adhere to your husband’s rule and command. Ephesians 5 vs. 22: Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the LORD. The husband is in charge of his wife in the same way CHRIST is in charge of his body the Church. A submissive wife will be faithful without any conditions. She makes fidelity her watchword. A submissive wife obeys all her husband rule and command. A submissive wife is conscious of her wrongs. A submissive wife yields to authority (her husband’s). A submissive wife will always stand by her husband in thick and thin. A submissive wif

AN OUTCAST

AN OUTCAST An outcast is one that has been excluded from a society or system. He is labeled a beggar. He is an outsider. An outcast is a person that lacks care. An outcast is neglected and overlooked. He is demoralized. He is wounded in heart. He is labeled whom no one cares. He is one that has lost hope. He is one who is frustrated and dejected. He is one who is always deep in thoughts and sorrowful. He is one who lives like a foreigner in his own land. He is one who is distressed. He is one who gets dispossessed of his possessions. He is one who is perplexed. He is one who is troubled on every side. He is one who is despair. He is afraid of tomorrow. CHRIST came that we might have a restored hope. He came to bare that burden of ours. He came to give us that expected end. He came that we might have peace. He came that we might be healed . Isaiah 53 vs. 5: But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and w

DREAMS ARE NOT DELUSIONS

DREAMS ARE NOT DELUSIONS This is a very fascinating topic, dreams are not delusions. Many do think dreams are just fictions, some see as a normal way of life. Many do not take their dream serious which shouldn’t be, some see dreams as delusions, some don’t even dream, why some forget what they dreamt about. Dream is a medium in which GOD communicates with us, he communicates to us through vision, trance and also consciences, but we are discussing about dream. Although, many a time what you are thinking about before you sleep, you might see it again; but majorly it does not continue like that. The bible said in Job 33 vs 15: In dreams, in vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men as they lie on their beds; he opens their ears in time like that and gives them wisdom and instruction. That is just a picture of dream, everyone has a dream land; but some’s has been tampered with by the devil. A dream land is an avenue for dreams; GOD gives instructions to us in the dream, ju
