Young men, make a difference...!

I Samuel 17:33, 36-37, 45 NKJV

And Saul said to David, “You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.” Your servant has killed both lion and bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God.” Moreover David said, “The Lord , who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” And Saul said to David, “Go, and the Lord be with you!” Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.

Shalom! Day #104. Do you know that when a youth is amongst the "highly educated" Christians - who think that they know everything - when he or she says something, there is always a bunch of people from that group of "scholars" will always come against their opinions and their capability in doing something? Let's pray. Father, we humble ourselves before You, we pray, we claim Your promises that You will take us higher and deeper in You as we humble ourselves. In Jesus name we ask and pray. Amen!

The word of God in Joel 2:28 NKJV “And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. Young men, youth do not despise your youth, do not say who will listen to me, do not say I don't know how to speak, when you avail yourself to the Lord, you will see the extraordinary things God does through you. Be a young men that will make a difference in this rebellious generation. Be not a person who flows together with the current, but be bold and stand up and stand out of the crowds and make a difference. David saw an opportunity to make a difference in the midst of the unbelieving army. David looked into the impossibility, that there is and opportunity to create a possible real victory. People may despise you, but what the Lord has place into your heart, better do it. It doesn't matter what men would say, let them say, because they a bunch of speakers but no action.  Obey and do what God has placed in your hearts. When you obey and do, you shall witness an unlimited power of God working through you.

The secret of David is, God was with him. He realize that there is one and only one greater power and name, and he bind himself and bowed to that power and name and he fought the battle. God was his strength, his banner, his armour. He realize onething that none of the Israelite armed force realize. They have forgotten that the Lord was present there and that's why they did not dare to fight against Goliath. David made a difference. Be a generation that would make a difference in the midst of this generation knowing that the Lord of host is with you. Make a difference and be the difference!!!!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

How is my heart with Jesus today...?

I Samuel 16:7 NKJV

But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the  Lord  does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

******
Shalom! Day #103. Do you know that human always looks for the outward appearance of a person but they fail to see their inward conditions? Let's pray. Father, we commit ourselves to You. We pray that You would give us a discerning Spirit, not jut to look at the outward appearances, but to the inward as well. In Jesus name we pray. Amen!

People say, DO NOT JUDGE A BOOK BY IT'S COVER, and some else said, LOOKS MAY BE DECEIVING. Indeed I agree to it. Just because a girl is pretty, every boys want to go after her, because she is pretty. Just because a guy is handsome and have 6 packs, girls want to go after him. But they failed to see their heart. I have come across many people, outwardly they seems to be smiling, laughing, joking around but inwardly their are crying behind the veils and no one Is able to see it except God. Outwardly a person may be so skilled full and talented but that doesn't guarantee that he or she is spiritually growing, living a righteous life, obeying God.

1. God rejects outward appearance of human.

2. He sees for more deeper into your hearts where no human can comprehend.

3. God is looking for a men who Is after His own heart.

4. He values a men by the fruits he produce.

How's the condition of our hearts today? Is it right before God? Let us earnestly seek God and do His will with all our hearts, not to please men, but to please God and Him alone.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Obedience is better than sacrifice...!

I Samuel 15:22-24 NKJV

So Samuel said: “Has the Lord  as  great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, As in obeying the voice of the Lord ? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to heed than the fat of rams. For rebellion is  as the sin of witchcraft, And stubbornness is  as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord , He also has rejected you from being king.” Then Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned, for I have transgressed the commandment of the Lord and your words, because I feared the people and obeyed their voice.

******
Shalom! Day #102. Do you know that our obedience to God is better than sacrifices? Father, as we come before Your throne of grace, forgive us for many at time we have disobeyed Your word and do things according to our desires. May You be delighted in seeing us obeying Your commands and doing it. In Jesus name we pray, amen!

Whoaa I don't take this word lightly. I don't see a sense or humour in it. A direct warning and God is serious about it. Our disobedience can cause us to rebel against God, it is equal to witchcraft and stubbornness equal to iniquity and idolatry. If you are serving God, or God anointed you and pit in a leadership position, or God has brought you to a place of significance, beware, lest you be found in disobedience. Pride is the cause of disobedience. Let not God reject His elected ones. Let there be no trace of disobedience in the camp of the Lord.

Then Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned, for I have transgressed the commandment of the Lord and your words, because I feared the people and obeyed their voice. It is better to fear God and obey Him than to fear man and obey man! That's why even I walk amongst the "highly educated people," yet they say this and that about me, I still choose to obey God and do what He has placed in my heart. Yes there will be a price to pay for each time you choose to stand for what is right and in doing the right thing. People they will be against you and not for you. But those who are faithful till the end shall be given the victors crown.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Let your fruits speaks for you...!

I Samuel 14:45 NKJV

But the people said to Saul, “Shall Jonathan die, who has accomplished this great deliverance in Israel? Certainly not! As the Lord lives, not one hair of his head shall fall to the ground, for he has worked with God this day.” So the people rescued Jonathan, and he did not die.

******
Shalom! Day #101. Do you know that when people are against you and not seeing what works you do, your fruits will speak louder than the accusation that's being spoken against you? Let's pray. Father, we pray that the works we do in Your name, shall bring forth the everlasting fruits that would speak louder than any accusation. In Jesus name we ask and pray. Amen!

Saul was about to kill Jonathan because of violating the oath that Saul made. We, most of the time judge people without prior investigation. We accuse a person of this and that, yet we are short sighted to the good works that person does. Personally, I have experienced it and I know what I am talking and most of the time I choose to remain silent and my God to vindicate me. In this verse, Saul was about to kill Jonathan, but the people stood for him and testifies for him, because they have seen his accomplishment and Saul did not. When you are being accused for the things you did not do, only your fruits will stand for you and testify for you. Your fruits, your good works. People don't see the good works you do, but if once you have done something wrong, now here comes the accuser and accuse you of this and that. But hey, again, be strong, be bold and never be shaken nor discouraged! When God stands for you, you will prevail because God vindicates you!

As the Lord lives, not one hair of his head shall fall to the ground, for he has worked with God this day. The only reason your fruits speaks for you is because you are not doing men's work, but God's work. You are serving God and not man. When you do His works, He takes care of your needs and problems and the struggles you are going through.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Everyone is replaceable...!

I Samuel 13:14 NKJV

But now your kingdom shall not continue. The Lord has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, and the Lord has commanded him to  be commander over His people, because you have not kept what the Lord commanded you.”

******
Shalom! Day #100. Do you know that each one of us is replaceable? Let's pray. Father, forgive us for thinking that there is no one that can replace us or without us the ministry would collapse. It is You that called us, and You have the rights to remove us. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Do not think that you are irreplaceable and without you nothing can work. Do you know that all God needs is a person who willingly says "HERE I AM, LORD." If we have come to that point where we say, without me, God cannot do anything...whoaaaa we are in deep deep trouble! Pride destroys everything God has for us. In this verse we read, Saul had no patience and pride crept in overtook his mind and its like you know he would have said this "ahhh where is this old Samuel? How long more to wait for this old chap? I think it's ok for me to sacrifice, it doesn't matter who does it." And because of what he has done, disobedience, pride and no patience, has cost him his kingdom. Beware, lest we be found at the top level of our pride and arrogance so that He may not remove us from His calling and His purposes.

The Lord has sought for Himself a man after His own heart. The character of a  man after His own heart is - obedience, mighty man, humble, a worshipper, a passionate person for His works, a man who lead by example and not just words. I pray that even to myself, practice what we preach. We may be teaching and preaching biblically but we lead an unbiblical life. Biblical teachings and preaching must be followed with biblical lead and living. I admit, I failed many times and God corrected me and has forgiven when I repent and allow Him to work out the best in me and through me. And yes, with or without me, His works still continues.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Do not Turn Aside...!

I Samuel 12:20-22, 24-25 NKJV
Then Samuel said to the people, “Do not fear. You have done all this wickedness; yet do not turn aside from following the Lord , but serve the Lord with all your heart. And do not turn aside; for then you would go after empty things which cannot profit or deliver, for they are nothing. For the Lord will not forsake His people, for His great name’s sake, because it has pleased the Lord to make you His people. Only fear the Lord , and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you. But if you still do wickedly, you shall be swept away, both you and your king.”

******
Shalom! Day #99. Do you know that when we sin, the guilty conscience in us always tends to bring us far away from His plans and purposes because we have sinned and it makes us to turn back from God? Let's pray. Father, forgive us for we have sinned against You. Let us not depart from You but be restored unto You once again. In Jesus name we ask and pray. Amen!

Most of the time I hear this from people who i have came across with, they say “I am not worthy of serving God any more because i have sinned.” Hey people, the devil been lying to us all this while. We think when we sin we are totally cut off from God, but the truth is when we have sinned and we have acknowledge it before the Lord and come to Him in true repentance, the Lord has forgiven you! No more condemnation! Many servant of God, fall into the trap of the devil, yet they rise again! Because they came to realize the truth that the devil has hidden for ages. We must realize one thing, that the Grace of God is not a license to sin, yet because of His grace we are saved! I am saved by grace not by my works! Do not take His grace lightly and continue to live in sin and run away from His plans and purposes. Do not turn aside from following the Lord , but serve the Lord with all your heart. Only fear the Lord , and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you.

Live a sin free life! Even if you have fallen into sin, DO NOT TURN YOUR BACK AGAINST GOD AND LIVE WITH THE GUILTY CONSCIENCE. It will literally bring spiritual death to you. You can run but can never hide from the guilty conscience, unless and until we come before Him and repent wholeheartedly, and God by His grace is willing to forgive us and set us free from the condemnation that the devil has placed on us.




Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Transformation through the Spirit of God...!

I Samuel 10:6 NKJV

Then the Spirit of the Lord will come upon you, and you will prophesy with them and be turned into another man.

******
Shalom! Day #98. Do you know when the spirit of God comes upon us, you literally become "another person?" Let's pray. Father we pray, let Your Spirit come upon us, fill us and transform us into a new creation in You. In Jesus name we ask and pray. Amen!

When the Spirit of God is upon us, we literally be transformed into His likeness. His Spirit in us is greater than the spirits in the world. His Spirit enables us to see far more than our eyes can see. His Spirit gives us the abilities to do greater things which we are capable not. When the Spirit of God is upon us, when you pray people get healed, delivered, set free, prophesy. How come? Because it Is not by our might or our power but by HIS SPIRIT which worked through us.

In Isaiah 61, the word of God clearly says,what the Spirit of God is capable of. The Spirit of God gives you the power the bring the goodnews of salvation to humankind. The Spirit of God gives you the authority to trample the serpent. The Spirit of God gives you the authority and power to bind, uproot and destroy every works of the devil. Are you filled with the Spirit of God?

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
