ANOTHER REASON WHY YOU SHOULD NOT FEAR GOD!!!

• WordPress

For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;

As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us.

As a father pities his children, So the LORD pities those who fear Him.

For He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust.

As for man, his days are like grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

For the wind passes over it, and it is gone, And its place remembers it no more.

But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting On those who fear Him, And His righteousness to children’s children,

To such as keep His covenant, And to those who remember His commandments to do them.

The beauty of faith is evident when one realizes that the “expiry date” on what stresses them is long overdue and that the truth will remain; God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
Though its waters roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with its swelling.
There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High.
God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, just at the break of dawn.
The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved; He uttered His voice, the earth melted.
The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge.
Come, behold the works of the LORD, Who has made desolations in the earth.
He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two; He burns the chariot in the fire.
Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!
The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge.

1. . beyond all contradiction the lesser is blessed by the better.

2. ..the law made nothing perfect; on the other hand, there is the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.

3. ..the law appoints as high priests men who have weakness, but the word of the oath, which came after the law, appoints the Son who has been perfected forever.

4. We have such a High Priest, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, a Minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle which the Lord erected, and not man.

5. ..Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation.
Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.

6. ..according to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission.

7. ..it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.

• WordPress

8. ..There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.

9. ..the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

10. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

I pray that God continue to fight for you through and through. “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
Father God let Your mighty hand never leave their lives, but continue to guide them oh God. I pray that the power of the blood of Jesus Christ that works even today be extended to this person’s life in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Let Your name alone be exalted in their lives and Lord usher them into their next level of anointing in the mighty name of Jesus.

Father God it is good to know that the plans you have for us who love You supersede the evil plans and wicked traps of the enemy and we thank You.

Lord, You overcame all principalities and powers of darkness at the cross .. deliver us Lord from all demonic works and evils covenants and deliver us from all evil sacrifices offered to demons to work against us.
To the children of Israel Father God You said..”Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased, and you inherit the land…For I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you.
You shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against Me. For if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.”
____________________
Nothing catches You by surprise oh God and it is not a coincidence that at such a time we are gathered here to pray to You. Lord Your Word says, where two or three are gathered in Your name You are there in our midst.
We need You oh God. My Father let Your Holy Spirit intercede and intervene on our behalf. Let Your face shine upon our lives through even beyond the coming month of September in Jesus name.
Lord we confident and we know that You have been faithful and You are faithful enough to bring us through!

As we live out the rest of the month victoriously testifying to Your faithfulness for in You all Your promises are yes and amen, we sanctify the month of September by faith in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
Lord silence every voice of fear and doubt as Your presence goes with us even before us into this day, into the coming week and throughout the remainder of this month of August 2022 into the coming months.

You have not given us the Spirit of fear, but of power, love and of sound mind. Fear of disease and sickness is defeated in the mighty name of Jesus. Every demonic fear is rendered powerless in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. As we enter through your gates Lord Jesus, we enter declaring victory of the Lord upon every area of our lives not by human wisdom nor the wisdom of this age but rather by the wisdom of God the wisdom of mystery.

For since the beginning of the world Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, Nor has the eye seen any God besides You, Who acts for the one who waits for Him.

In Jesus name Thank You Father for it is in the mighty name of Jesus we pray believing!”

You are heal in Jesus name you who was crying out loud for God to heal you!!!

God is faithful.
#AmenAndAmenAndAmen

John 3:16..

Have you ever wondered what would have happened if God didn’t give us His only begotten Son..?
You are right. Since we fall short of the glory of God, we would all have perished!

God had an option to retain His beloved Son (Who is God The Son, Who died on the cross giving His own life for us to receive life through faith in Him, and Who Is risen and Is coming again to Reign) and Who’s Name Is Jesus Christ!

God had an option to retain Him in heaven if He wanted to, but He knew it is in the giving that we receive and it is in the dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
So once again, have you given your life to Jesus? If no, asked Jesus right now to come into your life.

If yes, give that “something” in your hand by faith and it shall be given to you good measure pressed down shaken together shall be poured into your nation , shall be poured into your ministry , shall be poured into your children , shall be poured into your marriage , shall be poured into your career , shall be poured into your enterprise , shall be poured into your
bossom!

“Anyone who already has something will get more, and he will have plenty!”

Learn this secret of the kingdom of heaven.
(The Grace of giving.)
__________________________

Always bring “something” with you whenever you come in the presence of God!
Bring not just “something” but something worthy! Something that has value.

It doesn’t have to be necessarily something material. But always bring something whenever you draw near the presence of God.
Don’t allow yourself to Appear in the presence of God empty handed! You will never receive any blessings!
Learn this secret and your life will change for your good.
God Is A giver by nature and we carry His DNA as children of God. We have been created with this unique ability to be givers by default!

“These days there’s hardly enough money to foot the basic human bills leave alone to give anyone..” You might say so!

When you are in church give God your ears fully when there’s preaching from the Bible and you will see how a faithful Rewarder God Is in your life. God is blessing your ears because they hear.

(Give your attention in church and never sleep)
Similarly, during your quiet times whenever you are studying the Bible, give Him you eyes diligently avoiding the napping and see how faithful God Is in your life.

God is blessing your eyes because they see.  (Give yourself quality time to meditate on the Bible, give your mind to The Holy Spirit to lead and guide you, not just skipping between verses.)

Give God all praise! Give God your worship and a sacrifice of your thanksgiving instead of complaining to Him about harsh climatic conditions all the time. Give Him all glory due His Name!

You don’t have to limit giving to imply to material things only. Take the limits off God and take the right godly living.

Every child of God has something (that is good) to give when it comes to the kingdom of Heaven!
God is a giver.

The essence is in the “grace of giving” and not the gift.

-How are you giving?
-Why are you giving?
-When are you giving?
-Where or Who are you giving?
-What are you giving?

(Study John 3:16..)

BE ELEVATED!

Many buildings are built with several floors. There’s ground floor, mezzanine floor, second floor, last floor, top floor, roof top etc ..

So, don’t be stuck on ground floor or on mezzanine floor knowing well there are so many other floors up there.

Equally, in our spiritual awakening God offers us different measures of gifting because every believer is expected to partake of the best of life.
Today let us call these different measures of grace “floor levels.”

“…..to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith. For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.
Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith; or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching; he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness..”

Don’t be too comfortable living in unhealthy lifestyle, having a beggar’s attitude, breeding immoral principles of living, conforming to a poverty mentality or embracing ignorance!

Be elevated!
Get on the elevator and move to a higher floor!

A higher floor of healthy_lifestyle ⛳⚽.
Higher floor of moral_principles ⛪.
Higher floor of wealth abundance .
Higher floor of spiritual_maturity .
Higher floor of wisdom.
Higher floor of winning.
Higher floor of knowledge .
Higher floor of calmness .
Higher floor of optimism  .
Higher floor of understanding .
Higher floor of trust.
Higher floor of generosity .

” …walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love,
endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all..”

Pack your past , your worries , challenges , fears , ignorance , limitations and anxieties at the  packing lot.
Get on the elevator, move to a higher floor.

“..to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift….for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love..”

Get on the elevator!
Amen!

One reason that requires us to come before God with thanksgiving and with a grateful heart is that thanksgiving is a specific offering required of any child of God.
Every Christian believer is required by God that whenever you worship God you offer Him your thanksgiving with a grateful heart.

There are many incidents in the Bible where we learn how thanksgiving is of mandatory requirement of every christian believer by God.
To mention some remember when Nehemiah arranged for…the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought out the Levites in all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem to celebrate the dedication with gladness, both with thanksgivings and singing, with cymbals and stringed instruments and harps.

Thanksgiving as a requirement for every child of God enables the worshipper to acknowledge God as The Sovereign One worthy of worship.

Thanksgiving goes beyond saying thank you Jesus for every true Christian believer even to the point of giving gifts to God in reverence.

1. ..there was one, Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was of a great age, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity; and this woman was a widow of about eighty-four years, who did not depart from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.
And coming in that instant she gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of Him to all those who looked for redemption in Jerusalem.

2. When king Solomon had finished building the temple, just before dedicating it he knew that it was yet required of him by God to worship with sacrifice or offerings…Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD. King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand bulls and one hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.

Thanksgiving is worship and worship is required of every one who worships God that we worship God in spirit and truth.

Jesus taught us about giving our thanksgiving sacrifice to God when He offered His body for our sins at the cross. Jesus gave the ultimate thanksgiving offering that could ever satisfy God with His body.

3. That’s why we read when Jesus was instituting the Holy communion..  Then He took the cup, and gave thanks…And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

When Jesus was instituting the Holy communion, He gave thanks to God for His blood that was to be shed at the cross and Jesus similarly gave thanks to God for His own which was to be bruised for our iniquity and was later to be hanged at the cross.

Jesus was teaching us to acknowledge God’s Sovereignty with thanksgiving.

4. Thanks be to God now we no longer have to physically die in order to physically offer our mortal body as a sacrifice like Jesus did. Romans 12 Paul urges, “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”

5. All in all one reason why we should always remember to come before God with thanksgiving is that thanksgiving is a required form of offering of every child of God while we are worshipping our Heavenly Father.

“Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went home. And in his upper room, with his windows open toward Jerusalem, he knelt down on his knees three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom since early days.
Then these men assembled and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God..”
Thank You Father!

*BEAUTIFUL ENCOURAGEMENT* ( There’s no shortcuts about and around all life challenges and issues that bring worries and sorrows. The only sure possible way with guaranteed provision for it and through it even more out of it is God, is in God and is with God

“Now the LORD descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD.
And the LORD passed before him and proclaimed, “The LORD, the LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth, keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children’s children to the third and the fourth generation.”

1. Everything that you are going through, believe and know that God knows about it and He knows what you are going through.
God has already provided for that which you need and He has already made a possible provision and a victorious way through it and out of it !!!~

Yes God Knows!~
Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: “I am the LORD your God, Who teaches you to profit, Who leads you by the way you should go.

God is faithful!~
All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth, To such as keep His covenant and His testimonies.

2. Every prayer you sincerely make and cry before Him is not in vain. Your worship is not a waste…
“Now therefore, fear the LORD, serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt. Serve the LORD! And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”

The Living Word of God is Truth.
“… the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

Jesus said … …, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

WHAT WAS THE INITIAL NAME OF THE ‘MOUNTAIN PLACE’ WHERE ABRAHAM WAS COMMANDED BY GOD TO OFFER ISAAC HIS SON AS A BURNT OFFERING?

So Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife, and the two of them went together.
But Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father!” And he said, “Here I am, my son.” Then he said, “Look, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?”
And Abraham said, “My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering.” So the two of them went together.
Then they came to the place of which God had told him. And Abraham built an altar there and placed the wood in order; and he bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, upon the wood.
And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.
But the Angel of the LORD called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” So he said, “Here I am.”
And He said, “Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.”
Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son.
And Abraham called the name of the place, The-LORD-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, “In the Mount of the LORD it shall be provided.”

WHAT WAS THE INITIAL NAME OF THE ‘MOUNTAIN PLACE’ WHERE ABRAHAM WAS COMMANDED BY GOD TO OFFER ISAAC HIS SON AS A BURNT OFFERING?

BE ON TOP AND STAY THERE!~
Always strive to be above the “storms” of life. Life storms are life trials we all go through in life, and you need to overcome them! It could be loss of property, terminal illnesses, death of loved ones, or even betrayals!
These, you always ought to overcome and be above them. Also, you need to be in control of the “winds” of uncertainty in life.
Don’t allow yourself to be confused. Know where you are going.
He Who created you had a great plan for your life from the beginning. Identify your destination and once you’ve identified where you are going, move forward. You were not created to be stagnant.
As long as you are breathing, you ought to be going forward, you ought to be growing, to be progressing!
In this world everyone is moving forward. Moving to a better tomorrow. Life is meant to be a journey, not just a comfort zone!
Life is growth. If you have life in you then simply know you are growing.
Growth means progress! Moving forward to live a destiny with purpose simply means progression..not stagnation not dormancy!
Your destiny is waiting for you to take good control of it!
Learn how to row your own life-boat and cross to the other side of your river. Remember this; in every stream and in every river there are two bank sides.

Life is a journey.
Don’t be so contented with staying and dwelling on one side of the river for the rest of your life. Move! Cross over! Find the other “river bank” of your life. That’s where you will find your hope and help in time of your need, but you have to keep moving!
Don’t allow the passing currents to sweep you away. Stay on top!
Stay on course!
Keep moving!
Survive!
When you get beyond the center of your river, then know you are on top!
If there’s a light at the end of every tunnel, why won’t there be life at the other side of the river?
Stay on top!
Cross to the other side. There’s life at the other side of the river.
Don’t leave the world yet, and don’t worry if the journey takes long.
Fight your battles bravely…. God is faithful!

MEN ARE POWERFUL PROVIDERS BY DEFAULT!

(WHEN ONE’S LEVEL OF GLORY DROPS, DOES HIS/HER LEVEL OF FAVOR DROP AS WELL?)

When a man habitually and repeatedly keeps relying for simple help from people outside of his “marital cistern,” this is clear indication that the same man is said to be swiftly falling short of his glory as a man being the head!~

Application:

When the husband starts to repeatedly rely for simple advice on how to treat his own wife from his parents, or from his neighbors, or even from his colleagues, other than from his own wife, this stage is spiritually labeled as the drop-point of the man’s level of glory.

Your duty as the woman of the house is to pray for your husband and seek to win his trust back.

Be a great wife who supports her husband instead of watching her husband while he swiftly drifts to the other side of the “marriage bed.”

When a man starts to repeatedly rely for  borrowed money from his parents, or his neighbors or so from his colleagues other than from his wife to provide for his wife’s needs and his own children, this stage of his life is spiritually labeled as the drop-point of the man’s level of  glory.

Your duty as the woman of the house is not only to pray for your husband’s financial dream, or to pray for increase of his income sources!

Be a great wife who manages and supports well the readily available income and provisions that her husband is currently earning and bringing home and always live with the expectation of producing more financial folds from what you are presently given by your husband. Women are producers by default!

When a man starts to repeatedly rely for outside help from his parents, or from his neighbors or so from his colleagues other than from his wife in performing simple house chores like changing his car tyres, or assembling a newly bought T.V or Radio, or even so simple chores like changing diapers, this stage of his life is spiritually labeled as the drop-point of the man’s level of glory. Men are providers by default!

Your duty as the woman of the house is not only to pray for your husband to learn basic skills or to pray for your husband to learn how to be a responsible father figure to his children!

Be a great wife who supports her husband with encouragement and expectations of positive changes even when her husband appears to initially lack the basic skills that old cultures engrave!
Be a great mother who takes great care of her  own children and who is responsible enough to change those diapers by herself!
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
The beauty of today’s encouragement is
reading the bible in a year and getting your hands busy and always ready to work!

LACK OF THANKSGIVING AFFECTS OUR SPIRITUAL GROWTH ON A NEGATIVE IMPACT!

What if you woke up today only to realise that you are left with just the things that you thanked God yesterday!

When was the last time you sat down to count your blessings and thank God for every single blessing you have and every need arising!

But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!

Offer to God thanksgiving, And pay your vows to the Most High.
Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.”

With a grateful heart lift up your hands and thank God.

Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!
Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

BIBLE STUDY AND QUIZ!
1. Why do you think the LORD allowed Israel to be defeated by the Philistines in 1Samuel 4:1-3?

2. Why do you think the Philistines were later able to capture the ark of the LORD in verses 10 and 11?

And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out to battle against the Philistines, and encamped beside Ebenezer; and the Philistines encamped in Aphek.
Then the Philistines put themselves in battle array against Israel. And when they joined battle, Israel was defeated by the Philistines, who killed about four thousand men of the army in the field.
And when the people had come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, “Why has the LORD defeated us today before the Philistines?… So the Philistines fought, and Israel was defeated, and every man fled to his tent. There was a very great slaughter, and there fell of Israel thirty thousand foot soldiers.
Also the ark of God was captured; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, died.
