The Seven Obstacles

By Date -
The Seven Obstacles
Proverbs 6:16-19

 16  Here are six things that the LORD hates— seven, in fact, are detestable to him:
17  Arrogant eyes, a lying tongue, and hands shedding innocent blood;
 18  a heart crafting evil plans, feet running swiftly to wickedness,
 19  a false witness snorting lies, and someone sowing quarrels between brothers.

Arrogant Eyes
Lying Tongue
Bloody Hands (innocent blood)
Evil Planning Heart
Wickedness Feet
Lying False Witness
Brotherly Quarrel Sowing Person

These might be seen as minor but God detest them greatly. I called them obstacles because they hinders progress of someone who is a victim of them and also the one who practice them.

To the practitioners of these obstacles, he or she can be positively useful both in the sight of God and Human. No person in the right frame of mind agrees to associate with a practitioners of these evils.

To a victim, his or her progress is stalled and justice is denied. He or she suffers for an unknown accusation.

Have you asked yourself, why God hate these things? Do you know that the members of your body and your body which is God's temple are involved in these evil? How can God make use of us when we are indicted by this verse. God's usage starts from one keeping his or her members of body and body out of this these. 2 Timothy 2:19-26.

Brethren, don't be a practitioners of these evils which are obstacles and I pray that you never be a victim of these evils-Amen.

Shalom!

Don’t Look Back!

By Date -
Don’t Look Back! Luke 9:62 – And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. Have you answered the call to serve God as His son and daughter? Have you totally chosen Jehovah as your God? Have you decided to leave your old ways and cleave unto God? If yes! Beloved I congratulate you. But hope you took the cost of your choice?? [Please refer to yesterday’s sermon] God doesn’t want us to look back when we have answered the call, why? This is because of the following: Firstly, it brings shame to the body of Christ and makes people to despise Christ. Looking back is to be lukewarm and to depart from the first love! [Revelation 2:4, Revelation 3:16] Secondly, looking back makes the believer to suffer backwardness spiritually and physical. The faith of the believer suffers and takes a longer time to be rebuilt. [Hebrews 6:4]. Thirdly, looking back will make the person not to complete whatever he or she has started. This is w...

Faulty Covenant

By Date -
Faulty Covenant Hebrews 8:7 [7] For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. Covenant as a strong bound that is not easily broken can be faulty. The covenant made betwixt God and the Israelites was a faulty covenant in this time of Grace but perfect in it's time. The covenant wasn't to lead sinner's unto Christ's but it was to lead them unto their destructive end quickly. The old covenant was a period of darkness and pains (because it was more by works and not by grace) but thanks to God who invalidated the old covenant and gave us the covenant of Grace where Jesus is the mediator no longer Moses. God spoken of the new covenant long ago in Jeremiah 31:31; it was manifested in Christ. This new covenant brings light to the soul. Every covenant that do not bring light to your life, be destroyed now by fire! Whatever makes you to live by work and not by grace be destroyed! For God's name sake, let everyt...

Entering His Rest

By Date -
Entering His Rest Hebrews 4:3 KJV For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. Total Increase and Perfect Rest 2016 was given by God. Looking at REST again, we found out there is no rest without believing in God the rest author and giver. Rest in this context is not death but a state of no physical struggles before benefits. Rest is a state of divine favour, no toiling all night and nothing to show. Believing in God is the prerequisite to entering His rest. His disciples entered into rest because 'At His word they cast their net', Luke 5:5; likewise the Zarephath woman in 1 Kings 17:15. Joshua and Caleb, and others that benefits from the gospel and entered into God's rest didn't enter by struggles but just by BELIEVING IN GOD THE GIVER OF REST, Joshua 21:44-45. Remember there's no believing without work, Numbers 13...
