Expiring Date!

Expiring Date! Psalms 103:17-19 But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children; To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them. God is good and plenteous in mercy and goodness but His goodness and mercies are constant upon one as long as he or she pleases God. Yes, while a human can gracefully experience God's goodness and mercies; of course we are all beneficiaries of God's grace, but to continue and flow in God's goodness and mercies then we have to do the needful, which is to: - Fear God - Keep God's Covenant and - Remember and Do God's Commandments Are we indicted or vindicated? Remembering God's commandments is complete when it's done, not remembering but not doing. Brethren, let's depend on the Holy Spirit to empower us in doing the above needful; by our strength and consciousness we can't do it. May eve

His Ways

His Ways Proverbs - 8:32 ... O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways. 'Ways' in the context is mannar or character. Keeping someone's way is to do things that pleases the person, same also with God. Psalm 103:7 made us to understand that, to experience God's ways we have to keep His ways but in not doing so, we only experience His act. God's ways is higher than His act. Verse 13 of same proverbs make is to understand what the way of the Lord is; '... to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.' Keeping God's ways is by doing righteously and pleasing God by doing what He love. This results to a super relationship between God and the person that keeps His ways. Beloved, do you want to experience a higher level of grace? If yes then you have to keep God's ways. Daniel, Elijah, Moses, Joseph and others in the Bible kept God's ways; Samson didn't, guess you can tell the result.

Slow to Speak

Slow to Speak Proverbs  17:28 Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding. In speaking people get to know the make-up of the speaker. Speaking is like open the cover of a container for the content to be seen. A wise man that speaks rashly will be seen as a foolish man and a foolish man that thinks before speaking or that even refuses to speak will be counted as a wise we man that is what the verse is saying in essence. Words spoken without thinking can have a disastrous effect that the speaker might not have the privilege to make correction. Look at Nabal in 1 Samuel 25:10 that answered King David rashly, if not for Abigail his wife, Nabal would have met instant destruction. Our master, Jesus Christ, told His time to think and consider all odds before replying the accusers of the adulterous woman, see John 8:6. May God teach us how to speak that we will eat the good fruits of our mouth. Shalom

Being Bold

Being Bold Acts 1:8; 2:14 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem ... unto the uttermost part of the earth. But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them ... be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: Boldness comes from Jehovah via the receiving of the Holy Spirit. The disciples became bold after their empowerment. Note that before their empowerment they waited patiently (they were in the Spirit's training school). It is the Holy Spirit and not any earthly substance that makes a Christian bold enough to confront the wickedness in high places. Acts 21:11-14 shows how Apostle Paul stood his ground of doing the work of God despite the plans of the wicked ones. In this time of persecution to Christians all over the World, we have to depend on the Holy Spirit for boldness. May God embolden Christians all over the World. Christianity must succeed all trials

God and Youth

God and Youth Ecclesiastes  12:1 Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them; While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened... Yesterday we discussed 'flexing your youth'. The Holy Spirit taught us how to flex our youth (being in and with Christ) Still on the youths! As a youth do you remember God? It is now that we have to remember our Creator not after suffering some downslide in health, finance and others. Beloved do you know that there are evil days ahead of us all? In verse 2 we were told the time to remember God, that's the 'now' in verse 1 was explained. Now that we are not dead and now that Christ have not returned is the appropriate time for us to remember God. Remembering God is doing His will both in actions and inactions. It is striving to please God. May God give us the Grace to always God in our actions a

Flexing Your Youth

Flexing Your Youth Ecclesiastes  11:9-10 Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment. So remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity. There is a lot of enjoyment and flexing in youthhood but not all leads to eternity. Not all enjoyment give peace and real joy. Some are the devil's strategy to caging souls. Are you ignorant or aware of the devil's strategy? 2 Corinthians 2:11. The real enjoyment is one that is done in the knowledge of God's judgement. That is constraining your enjoyment to fit into God's plan for your life thereby pleasing Yehweh. Beloved, what's your youthhood like? Does your enjoyment please and glorify God or Satan. You see, real enjoyment is in verse 10; take away evil and sorrow (not pleasing Go

Lord's Goodness

Lord's Goodness Exodus 33:19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy to whom I will shew mercy. Also Read: Exodus 34:6, Psalms 27:13; 33:5, Romans 11:22 God is Good All the time Sing to Him songs of Praise... God is good and His goodness is abundant in nature. His goodness is more than his wrath. God does good to all and this is the basic level of God's goodness. One that does righteously and worshipfully fears the Lord enjoys greater goodness from God. Doing good is an hobby of God. He's never pleased to see His children suffering from His wrath that's why He is not pleased at a sinner's death and also He's extremely happy over a sinner's repentance. Beloved, despite God is abundantly good, we should never continue in our disobedience to Him as continuing will always trigger His jealousy and wrath, Roma

Lord's Wrath

Lord's Wrath Exodus 32:9-10 And the Lord said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people: Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation. Numbers 18:5 And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar: that there be no wrath any more upon the children of Israel. Read: Deut. 29:28, Isaiah 9:19, Col. 3:5-6, Heb. 3:11 God doesn't like to get jealous and to be wrathful. God is good in all senses. Today, we'll look at God's wrath. The wrath of God as well as His jealousy, work out righteousness and salvation. The thing that makes God wrathful is if His children are stiff neck and disobedient. The wrath of God is dreadful and God doesn't like being angry. The wrath of God goes with domination, hence save yourself by not activating God's wrath through disobedience and others. May God help us to please Him in

Lord's Jealousy

Lord's Jealousy Exodus 34:14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the Lord , whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God: Also Read: Deut. 4:24; 6:15; 29:20, 1 Cor. 10:22, Ezekiel 38:19 Jealousy is not always evil and in this case, it's God's way of guarding His children (lovers) from doing and continuing in ways disobedient to Him. From the verses, we call testify that God do jealous but His jealousy is a righteous act. Sharing God's glory, honour, praises and residence (our heart) with the creatures, and disregarding and disrespecting God triggers the jealousy of God. The jealousy of God does not go alone but with His fire or wrath (consuming fire) and the resultant effect in a human's life is catastrophic in nature. Beloved, God said, his name is JEALOUS. Hence since we know what makes God jealous, we shouldn't engage in them. I pray God to help us by teaching us more about pleasing Him and empowering us to please Him. May His Jealousy and fire

Lord's Emotion

Lord's Emotion Nahum 1:2, 3, 7 2 God is jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies. 3 The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. 7 The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him. The above verse tells us something about God - His emotions. I'll see emotion in this sense as response or reaction from an action. God response to our actions and in actions. These response are positive in all sense but may not be seen as positive by the recipient of such actions - 2 Cor. 1:6. Why is God telling us about His emotions? Guess if you know what upsets someone and what someone loves you will keep to the dos and don'ts. Beloved, in few days we'll look at God's Jealousy, Wr

Day of Reestablishment

Day of Reestablishment Micah 7:11 In the day that your walls are to be built, in that day shall the boundary [of Israel] be far extended and the decree [against her] be far removed. Amos 7:11 - In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David, the fallen hut or booth, and close up its breaches... Isaiah 33:17 - Your eyes will see the King in His beauty... The Lord is not after the destruction of human but the destruction of sin. The judgement has been passed on sin to destroy sinners hence if human should become a sinner then the judgement follows. Grace is available but more grace is available to those that fear God and those that fear God will be reestablished. Those that fear God experience boundary extension (financial increase, increase in fame and other positive increase) and every negative decree in their life is totally destroyed. Beloved, to be a beneficiary of this reestablishing grace, you have to reverently fear the Lord. May God empower us all, Amen. Sh

Backsliding!

Backsliding! Act 10:38 - About Jesus of Nazareth, how God gave the Holy Spirit to him, with power: and how he went about doing good and making well all who were troubled by evil spirits, for God was with him. 1 Cor. 10:12, Isaiah 3:11-14. Backsliding is a backward shift from the initial state. This can be in the physical or spiritual. Instead of a continuous growth one gradually fall out of faith and love. Jesus when anointed didn't stop but he kept doing good and exploit. He didn't loss his love and zeal. As Jesus was so we ought to be. Always hot in the spiritual and in the physical servitude in the Lord's vineyard. Backsliding can be seen in the following aspects: > Turning away from God, 2 Timothy 2:8 1 king 1:9. > Losing interest in the Lord, 2 Timothy 2:15. > Leaving the first love, Rev. 2:4. Lost of God's hunger, Eph. 3:17, Col. 2:7. > Turning from the joy of salvation and the gospel, to ungodly law, Rev. 2:14-16. May God's grace k

God's Mercy Time

God's Mercy Time Psalms 102:13 You will arise and have mercy and loving-kindness for Zion, for it is time to have pity and compassion for her; yes, the set time has come [the moment designated]. The Lord's anger is aroused when ever His laws are not kept; Psalms  119:126 It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law. His anger results to unpleasant situations in the human's life. But the good news is mercy from above is locating your life. That accusations from the devil will not have effect in your life again. May God listen no more to the devil. As he did for Joshua the Priest, May He also do same for you, Zech. 3. That area you need compassion, pity and goodness will not remain the same. Compassion, restoration, mercies will locate you. Beloved, God's grace will activate these but here is a question, 'Do You Keep His Laws?' If no, then Psalms 119:126 should be your concern. The poor, oppressed and needy are first class to ben

Why must I fear the Lord?

Why must I fear the Lord? Revelation 15 vs 4 Who shall not fear thee oh Lord, and glorified thy name? For thou only art holy, for all nations come & worship before thee; for thy judgment are made manifest. Fearing of the Lord bring wisdom. Proverbs 2. It brings prosperity Psalms 112 vs 11. Fearing Him make God accept us Act 10:35. The mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon those that fear Him and His righteousness unto our children's children Psalms 103:17. _______ A contribution by Sister Josephine N from Abakaliki.

Entering His Rest

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

Profiting From The Gospel

Profiting From The Gospel Hebrews 4:2 KJV For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it . The Gospel (God's Word) is designed to profit all that believes in it. Profit in this case is not streamlined to finance but all goodies and benefits such as peace, joy, salvation and others including material profits. There is nothing to loss in obeying and believing in the Gospel. The profit in the word of God does not come from merchandizing the word by in believing the word. Look at those that profited from the Word in the Bible - the Shunammite woman, Naaman and other all heard the word and mixed it with faith. But Gehazi, Judas Iscariot and others that merchandised with the word met waterloo. Consider 2 Timothy 3:15-17, 16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, ... May God help us to live by

Edification!

Edification! 1 Corinthians 14:12 KJV Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts , seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church. Edification is of outmost importance to the human and the gospel enhances on it because it is a simple and quick way to saving and redeeming both the winner and the believers respectively. The actions of a believer should be focused on Pleasing God first then the second target is to edify the listeners, watchers and recipients of such actions. "Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers." Beloved to edify people and for us to be edified, we have to: - Guide our mouth - Guide our ears - 1 Timothy 1:4 - Utilize our gifts - Ephesians 4:11-12 - Watch doctrines - 1 Corinthians 14: 26 - Watch our association and actions - 1 Corinthians 10:23. May God empower us to be Edifiers and to be edified not

Peace and Edification

Peace and Edification Romans 14:19 KJV Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another. A Christian is not a sole entity. A Christian should not be less concerned about the others especially fellow Christians. A Christian should endeavour that his or her actions and inactions results go peace and edification of others. The latter should always be at the front of every Christian's heart. Questioning himself or herself, 'Do I edify people?'. See Romans 14:21 It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumble, or is offended, or is made weak. Hence, whatever we do as a Christian, it should not make anyone stumble or become offended rather, we should edify their lives. God wants us to be Edifier and not just peacemakers, 1 Corinthians 10:23; 14:5,12,26, Ephesians 4:29, 1 Thessalonians 5:11 - ...edify one another, even as also ye do. May God make us Edifiers and peace

Perfect Peace

Perfect Peace Isaiah 26:3 KJV Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee : because he trusteth in thee. In this world of restlessness, fear and injustice, one will easily say that peace can be obtained talk less perfect peace. But does it mean the Bible, God's word is lying? No. Perfect peace is obtainable in this perilous time, in this world of calamities. Peace and a Perfect peace is only obtained from the Prince of Peace which is Jesus Christ. 'My peace I give unto you...' were his words to his disciples, John 14:27. Now the question, Am I a disciple of Jesus? Only those that stay in Jesus, who are disciples that are beneficiaries of this perfect peace. He is the chief security officer on earth. No security is secure without Christ securing. Psalms 127:1 - Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor uselessly. Unless the LORD guards the city, its security forces keep watch uselessly. Beloved, stay in God and experience Perfect

Selflessness

Selflessness Romans 15:1-3 KJV [1] We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. [2] Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification. [3] For even Christ pleased not himself; ... it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me. It is a good thing to esteem others better than oneself but it is not an easy thing. It is very difficult to please another and displease yourself, but Christ's wants us to please, esteem and value others better than ourselves, solely for the edification of the other person. This is the beginning of seeking and pursuing peace as we were instructed by God, Psalms 34:14. Remember that as Christians we are to follow after our master just as He sought for our good and salvation and not His. Beloved, may the spirit of God empower us (that are strong by His Grace) to always seek for the salvation and good of the weak. May Jehovah endue us with the selfless heart

What Do You Desire?

What Do You Desire? Mark 10:35-37 KJV [35] And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying, Master, we would that thou should do for us whatsoever we shall desire. [36] And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you? [37] They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory. These young men desired what is of eternal value, not of earthly inheritance or fame. Brothers and Sisters what is your desire? To have fame, money, connection, affluence etc, or to have eternal life? Jesus told us to lay our treasures in Heaven, Matthew 6:19-20 and Apostle Paul told us to set our affection on things above, Colossians 3:2; because in doing so we have eternal life and salvation. Anything we desire that is not Heavenly is just a vanity which will pass away and likewise the desirer but the desirer of Heavenly things will have eternal life and salvation. May God give us the heart to be Heavenly.

Jesus is Calling

Jesus is Calling Matthew 9:9 KJV And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him. To every call there is an answer or not. Jesus is calling you and I just as He called Peter in the Bible days. Jesus called Peter in person but today He's calling us in a more higher way; through His Voice, the medias and the Internet, touching our very hearts. Like Peter are we going to follow Jesus or ignore Him? Following Jesus is life, Peace, Joy, Security among others. Jesus is knocking! He is ready and wants to relate with you. He wants you to be in a relationship with Him. Open up for Jesus!!! Revelation 3:20. Beloved, there is no loss in following Jesus. The gain is double! Here on earth and eternally in Heaven. Mark 10:28-30. That thing or person preventing you from following Jesus is not gonna stay with you forever. Separate yourself now! Leave that person or thin

The Blessing Condition

The Blessing Condition Zechariah 8:14-17 KJV [14] For thus saith the Lord of hosts; ... I repented not: [15] So again have I thought in these days to do well unto Jerusalem... [16] These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates: [17] And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith the Lord. God is determined to bless His creature. God's blessings are not gotten by strive, falsity and wickedness. God's blessing goes to the place of truth, love and peace. See verses 16 & 17, are you indicted or vindicated? Being truthful, peaceful and not wicked makes God's presence to be in a human's life which in turn yields divine blessing. Beloved, make it your aim to be PEACEFUL, TRUTHFUL & NON-EVIL. May Elohim make us agents of Peace, Truth and Good. May God's presence continu

Whom Do You Please?

Whom Do You Please? 1 Thessalonians 2:4-6 [4] But as we were allowed of God ...; not as pleasing men,were but God, which trieth our hearts. [5] For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness [6] Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, ... , as the apostles of Christ. It is so unfortunate that people these days, even those called by God don't primarily please God through their actions and inactions. God called us not to please human but to please Him. Look at what Apostle Paul said, 'He never used flattering words, never sought for the glory of men ...', because he's an apostle of Christ. Beloved brethren, you as a clergy (a Levite) or as a Laity, do you live your life to please God or human? It's God that redeemed, reconciled and called you, so live to please God. God is to be pleased and not any human remember He tries the heart and knows all things. Begin and continue

Walking with God!

Walking with God! Genesis 17:1, John 4:32 ...the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect. Walking with God is serving God. If you serve God then you're walking with him. This is because He leads you in all your doings and ways as a result of your obedience. God told Abram to walk before Him because Abram deviated from His ways (and the result is Ishmael), that idea given to him wasn't God's. Beloved, if we want to walk with God then we must not lean on our understanding, Proverbs 3:5-7; be obedient and must be truthful. The benefits of walking with God are so numerous that no human-human walking can beat. For any to be beneficiary of God's walk then the only prerequisites are to be spiritual and truthful. God establishes and make sure His covenant with those who walk with him truthfully, uprightly and blamelessly take a look at Cornelius in Acts 10. May God empower us to uprightly and perfectly

Growing in Grace

Growing in Grace 2 Peter 1:2 May grace and peace ever be increasing in you, in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord Grace (God's favour) and Peace (which is perfect well-being, all necessary good, all spiritual prosperity, and freedom from fears and agitating passions and moral conflicts) can only be multiplying when we remain in Christ. Remaining in Christ is to have reverential fear for and of Him. A sinner have the grace to come out of sin and live righteously but to grow in grace is day dreaming, likewise the sinning Christian. Take a look at Samson in the Bible, the grace of God in His life didn't increase in his act of disobedience to God. Samson isn't supposed to die in the way he died. Beloved, spend time in studying the scriptures that you'll know God thereby growing in grace. PRAYERS 1 - Lord, empower me to study more of you. 2 - Lord, help me that I'll not take your grace in my life for granted. 3 - Lord help me to continually grow i

Grace for Exceeding Multiplication

Grace for Exceeding Multiplication Genesis 17:1-2, 2 Corinthians 8:9 [2] And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. Grace is God's Riches At Christ Expense. It is the almightiness of God invading the hopelessness of human. It is a commander of attention. It reduces sweat and increases accomplishments, Psalm 89:20. Exceeding means to be very great and to surpass others. To set a new record. Multiplication is to increase greatly in number, not step by step as in addition. PREREQUISITE 1 - OBEDIENCE - Leviticus 25:18 You can't increase when you are unfaithful in your tithing obligation and others. 2 - REMEMBER THOSE THAT HAVE RULE OVER YOU - Hebrews 13:7. The blessing is given by GRACE and the blessing can be multiplied by GRACE, 2 Corinthians 8:1-4, Acts 4:32-35. PRAYERS May Divine grace for expansion be released upon us - Amen. ________________ A sermon by Apostle Samuel Idedevwo of Christ's Chosen Church of God

God's Mandate

God's Mandate Romans 10:14-15 [14] ...whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?... [15] And how shall they preach, except they be sent?... Evangelism is God's plan to bring sinners to Jesus. As believers, soul winning/evangelism ought to be our key business. THE NEEDED FOR EVANGELISM 1-Clean yourself up character wise. 2-Equip yourself with the Word of God. 3-Know when and how to use God's Word. ==> Soul is the most valuable project/thing in Heaven despite the golden streets and others, Luke 15:7. ==> The saddest day in Heaven was when human was separated from God and the happiest day was when Jesus reconciled us to God, Genesis 3:7, Genesis 6:1-6, Matthew 27:50-53. God's interest is to save man's soul unto salvation, Job 33:28-30. Pray for the grace & zeal to evangelize. Ask God to give you the instruments for evangelism. Shalom! _________________ A sermon by Pastor Chuks of Christ'

Return!

Return! Jeremiah 3:12-13 KJV [12] ... Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the Lord ; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the Lord , and I will not keep anger for ever. [13] Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the Lord thy God ... and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the Lord . [14] Turn, O backsliding children, saith the Lord ; for I am married unto you ... and I will bring you to Zion: The Lord is calling, Listen! We just need to return unto God. We should acknowledge our faults and return to God. When we acknowledge our faults and return to God and God will have mercy. No matter how far you have gone astray from God, just return to God and you'll see His mercy. God loves us, He is merciful and retains no anger forever. May God give us the mind to return unto Him. May God also give us the strength to never go astray from Him. May His Mercies depart not from us. May we always dwell in Zion - Amen.

Correcting a Child

Correcting a Child Proverbs 13:24 KJV He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes. Today, let's discuss what was revealed to me by God. It concerns the Parent and how they correct or discipline their children. God seriously frowns at those parents that install fear, rudeness and negative boldness in their children through their negative discipline pattern. It is in the habit of some parents that they discipline with hatred. No, it is totally wrong to discipline without love. God disciplines humanity with love. Gracefully discipline your children. Some children are hard not because they were born hard but because of the hatred in disguise of discipline meted on by their parents when they were young. As a parent, learn from the great teacher, Jesus. His discipline on earth was from the love angle. He disciplined the adulterous woman, the Samaritan woman with love and many others. Love should precede discipline - Psalm 6:1! Shal

God's Respect

God's Respect Exodus 2:25 KJV And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them. God heard the children of Israel because of His grace. He had compassion on their cries. Whatever might be the situation and no matter how long it might have been, God will hear you and gave respect unto you. God's grace has been released this month, as you cry (just a groaning) will bring results. It's Grace! Unconditional Grace!! Emancipating and Redeeming Grace!!! May God surprise your oppressors this month. That situation that has been a thorn in your flesh must be more. May God remember His covenant with you. May He remember His covenant upon your family. May God look with mercy upon you. May His face of love, compassion and favour dwell upon you. Welcome to September a month God will remember you and your associates. Shalom!!
