TRUSTING GOD AMIDST OF PAIN AND FRUSTRATION

 TRUSTING  GOD AMIDST OF PAIN AND FRUSTRATION First we need to understand  what trust or trusting  is and on this definition I'll  borrow from two God's  generals. Prophet TB JOSHUA  said, " To trust  in God  is to have total dependence  on Him and His word". Also then Apostle Joshua Selman said, " Trusting  God  is to over throne  your will above His". But how can you trust someone you don't  know? The scriptures tell us in the book of Psalms 9:10 a) And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: and also we see in Daniel 11:32 b)  but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits.  Then we see God  telling us in b part of Psalms  such He will never forsake  or abandon. But nowdays we see many Christians  proclaiming  they trust in God  and His name but most of the time we see that fading  away in their  lives  and mouth o...

THEY MUST CHANGE THEIR MINDS

 THEY MUST CHANGE THEIR MINDS Acts 28:6.  The people expected him to swell up or suddenly fall dead; but after waiting a long time and seeing nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and said he was a god.(A) We see clearly In the opening scripture that people of Malta changed their evil thoughts they had towards Paul. Because they thought the moment he was bitten by a venom snake he will die because of the past things he was doing before start serving the Lord and because he escaped the death at the sea they thought he can escape that and survive this one. However, surprisingly as they were waiting for him to die because of the poison after he as shocked off the snake, He didn't swallow nor die, finally they changed their minds that is a god  Wow powerful scripture, believers believe me whether you like it or not they are people around you wishing you a casting down despite showing you kindness as they did to Paul but don't worry that you are going through...

BE MAD IN THE THINGS OF THE LORD

 BE MAD IN THE THINGS OF THE LORD Acts 26:24-25. 24 At this point Festus interrupted Paul’s defense. “You are out of your mind,(A) Paul!” he shouted. “Your great learning(B) is driving you insane.”25 “I am not insane, most excellent(C) Festus,” Paul replied. “What I am saying is true and reasonable. Believers it's better people think you are mad(insane) in the things of God, yes have heard people saying this ,"too much church things will drive you insane." Here our own Apostle Paul was told that His too much learning was driving Him insane, but Paul wasn't insane at all cost, you have to understand that a man carried by the Spirit is like a mad man. The Bible says in John 3:8. "The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”[a](A) This was the same thing that happened to Prophet Elijah when He met Ahab that they called him a trouble maker but he wasn...

GOD'S WAYS ARE NOT MAN'S WAYS

 GOD'S WAYS ARE NOT MAN'S WAYS  Isaiah 55:8-9.  8 “For my thoughts(A) are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,”(B)declares the Lord.9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth,(C)so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.(D) Yes! Brethren our thoughts and ways are not God's thoughts and ways. Yes most of us we want many things to go our own ways and not in line with God's ways. We can't reach were we want because of our ignorance cause we don't know the will of God as the results we start to feel as if God is failing us , but we aren't fair for ourselves because we don't acknowledge the Lord in all we do. Proverbs 3:5-6. 5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 14:12. (A)There is a way that seems right to a man,But (B)its end is the way of (C)death. It's clear here God is telling us that we s...

DON'T BE TOO QUICKLY TO FORGET HIS GOODNESS

 DON'T BE TOO QUICKLY TO FORGET HIS GOODNESS Psalms 103:1-2.  1 Praise the Lord,(A) my soul;(B)all my inmost being, praise his holy name.(C)2 Praise the Lord,(D) my soul, and forget not(E) all his benefits— Brethren let's not be too quickly to forget His(God) goodness. Here we see the Psalmist saying to himself that all his begin must praise the Lord and should not forget how kind He is. Psalmist understood that we humans beings it's easily to forget all the good things God as done for us, Why? Maybe because of the storm you are in now, you starting thinking God as forgotten you! No He hasn't , remember were He took you from, how he as protected and show His kindness towards you and How He as proved Himself to you that is reliable. Do not make the current situation you are passing through may it be at work, in marriage, family, school, ministry or business etc. make you forget how Faithful He is. For He is not a man that can lie or disappoint but is there to appoint you...

DO NOT PASS ME BY

 DO NOT PASS ME BY Psalms 106:4-5 4 Remember me,(A) Lord, when you show favor(B) to your people, come to my aid(C) when you save them,5 that I may enjoy the prosperity(D) of your chosen ones,(E) that I may share in the joy(F) of your nation  and join your inheritance(G) in giving praise. Brethren we need to understand that the hand of God is not too short that it can not reach you and save you, nor His eyes blind and ears deaf. But He is the living God who called all His children to be the partakers of every spiritual Blessing. Isaiah 59:1. Surely the arm(A) of the Lord is not too short(B) to save,  nor his ear too dull to hear.(C) We are seeing in our opening verse were the Psalmist is praying to God for rememberance that as He is helping other people He must be included too. This applies to us too, we pray to God who don't need advice from anyone when He wants to bless His people. May the book of rememberance that was opened for Mordecai  at this moment may it be o...

THE ROAD OF HOLINESS

  THE ROAD OF HOLINESS Isaiah 35:8.  And a highway(A) will be there;it will be called the Way of Holiness;(B) it will be for those who walk on that Way.The unclean(C) will not journey on it;  wicked fools will not go about on it. Yes THE ROAD OF HOLINESS; then what is the Holiness we are talking about first of all? This holiness we are talking here is of our Lord God, which is of being holy and have no business with unclean, cause unclean defiles a man and can no longer stand at the point of been holy as God want us to be. We see in our opening verse that the scripture highlights it clear to everyone that all those who are unclean can't walk or even pass by this highway of holiness. Then we can ask ourselves were is this road leading us to, the answer is simple and straight forward to enternal life (Zoe). With the reference of other scriptures let's look what truly lead to the Road of Holiness? and what can't lead us to this Road of Holiness? Psalms 24:3-6 3 Who may ascen...
