Therefore, go and Make the disciples of all nations…

Matthew 28:19

Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Let the world know Jesus (The way, truth and life) ~John 14:6.

The world need to know that He is the only way. Let your colleague know and your neighbour.

If you don’t share the good news to them, be the light, let the light shine in you that they will see and know that there is Christ in you.

Matthew 5:14
“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.

Let your deeds, speech, be the light.

1 Peter 2:9
[9]But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.

KINGDOM MYSTERY

The Mystery Of Obstacles

GATES OF BRONZE


Psalms 107:16
For He has broken the gates of bronze, And cut the bars of iron in two.

It is good to pray for there are gates of bronze ahead of us.
These gates signify obstacles, delays and principalities like curses and altars.

Before we travel, go to a new place, visit an office or a new job, take your time to pray.

Before any assignment given, pray. The Chief Servant of Abraham prayed before going to search a wife for Isaac as had been given assignment by his master Abraham.


When we call upon the Lord who hears and answer like the way He answered to Elijah by fire, He comes at our rescue and breaks these gates of Bronze.

If there is an Elijah to pray, there is a God to answer.

Man shall not live by bread alone…

Deuteronomy 8:3
So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord.

Matthew 4:4
But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”

Jesus came to reiterate what God had said before.

We learn of this principle of “man shall not live by bread alone.” The devil tempted Jesus to convert stones to bread so that Jesus reminded the devil what the Word says.

The devil knew that Jesus was physically weary, hungry.

Jesus was fasting, to bring down the body so that he feeds His inner man.

Bread “food” or the World and that’s in it, makes us forget feed the inner man.

I John 2:15
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

We need to forget about the body/world so that we nourish the inner man abd make him flourish and we shall see the manifestation through the body, otherwise when we continually feed the body/ contemplate on the world more, the inner man will become malnourished and eventually dies.

FINALLY…

Psalms 1:1-3
[1]Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
[2]But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night.
[3]He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper.

PRAYER.

Oh Lord my father, I thank you for Your word I have learnt today and I pray that you grant me the grace of living by Your Word, grace of reading your Scriptires, meditating on them and pursuing to live according to Your Word.

Amen.

The three attitudes we should lay down.

Hebrews 12:1
Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.

From the above supporting scripture, let us aim at laying down the following;

1.Overcautiousness

In the end we regret on the chances we didn’t take.

The language of the poor is ” what if this happens ” they don’t take risks.

Take risks. If you win you will be happy if you loose you will be wise. Living life itself is a risk.

Dont die wondering. Life is not about security but adventure.

  1. Pessimism

A pessimistic person sees difficulty in every opportunity but a optimistic person see opportunity in every difficulty.

A pessimist lives an ugly life he doesn’t figure what is right but he figures what is wrong.

Some people look at the window and see the sunset while others see the spect on the window

To the pessimist the glass is always half empty but to the optimist the glass is always half full.

Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you are right. Life is a product of how we think things are.

Poor thinking habits keep people poor. Many people work hard but they don’t think hard.

The mind is like a factory what you pour into it, is what it will produce

You are what you think

What a man reads pours ingredients into his mental factory and his life is build from those ingredients

If you don’t control your mind someone else will. Every day stand and guard the door of your mind

  1. Complaining/Mummering

Be strong you never know who you are inspiring

The time and energy you use complaining can be used building

Complaining is not in the equation of solution but failure

The children of Israel missed canaan because of their complaining tongue in the wilderness. Many abort destiny because of a Mummering spirit.

Beware of the people you associate with.

Psalms 106:35-36
[35]But they mingled with the Gentiles And learned their works;
[36]They served their idols, Which became a snare to them.

Association of Israelites with the gentiles led to their assimilation, in terms of worship, they forgot their God who jad delivered them from the hand of Egyptians and now worshipping idols of Gentiles, by now God is not happy with them.

See what God did to them;

Psalms 106:40-43
[40]Therefore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against His people, So that He abhorred His own inheritance.
[41]And He gave them into the hand of the Gentiles, And those who hated them ruled over them.
[42]Their enemies also oppressed them, And they were brought into subjection under their hand. 
[43]Many times He delivered them; But they rebelled in their counsel, And were brought low for their iniquity.

It all happened because of their association with Gentiles, who changed their way of life. Their position and relationship with God is greatly affected, eventually they face God’s wrath.

We ought to choose the kind of people we associate with wisely.

But remember that God is still full of mercy, and His mercies still new everyday. God forgives them due to the multitude og His mercies (Verse 45 and 46).

Parting shot:

Psalms 106:47-48
[47]Save us, O Lord our God, And gather us from among the Gentiles, To give thanks to Your holy name, To triumph in Your praise.
[48]Blessed be the Lord God of Israel From everlasting to everlasting! And let all the people say, “Amen!” Praise the Lord!

I had learned already many of the Outland methods of communicating by forest notes rather than trust to the betraying, high-pitched human voice.

None of these was of more use to me than the call for refuge. If any Outlier wished to be private in his place, he raised that call, which all who were within hearing answered.

Then whoever was on his way from that placed hurried, and whoever was coming toward it stayed where he was until he had permission to move on.

Thank God

Let’s extend our thanksgiving to the Lord Most High for His unfailing love…

bettynjeru's avatarGOD LOVES YOU & HE DESIRES an INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP with YOU

I was meditating on psalms 91, declaring it over my family when the Holy Spirit reminded me that God has been keeping this word throughout our lives and in yours too. I call you to join me in thanking God for his faithfulness to keep Psalms 91 this far.

Heavenly father, thank you for your son Jesus Christ who died for my sins. Because of that, I am yours and I have made you my refuge and my place of safety. I now dwell under your shelter and find rest in your shadow.
Thank you God, thank you my savior, all glory, honor and power to you!

Oh God you have rescued me from every trap and protected me from deadly disease
You have covered me with your feathers.
You have sheltered me with your wings.
Thank you God, all glory, honor and power to you!

Your faithful promises have…

The Lord my refuge.

Psalms 94:22

But the Lord has been my defense, And my God the rock of my refuge.

Psalms 27:1-3
[1]The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?
[2]When the wicked came against me To eat up my flesh, My enemies and foes, They stumbled and fell.
[3]Though an army may encamp against me, My heart shall not fear; Though war may rise against me, In this I will be confident.

Psalms 46:1-2
[1]God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.
[2]Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

Psalms 23:1-3,6
[1]The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
[2]He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.
[3]He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake.
[6]Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever.

“If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well.”

This woman knew that there was healing in Jesus. 12 years of continuous/everyday bleeding means a lot.

It means that she had researched a lot on how she could get healed, had gone to places seeking healing, was in pain and shame.

This all is because she had never had an encounter with Jesus Christ. But when Jesus came, she took her own initiative to touch the hem of His garment.

Matthew 9:20-22
[20]And suddenly, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and touched the hem of His garment.
[21]For she said to herself, “If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well.”
[22]But Jesus turned around, and when He saw her He said, “Be of good cheer, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.

This is what exactly happens when we draw close to Jesus with our nagging problems/burdens.

We touch the hem of Jesus' garment through:
1. Prayer
2. Submission 
3. Reading and meditating on the word.
4. Helping a friend/needy/poor/bereaved.
5. Offerings/Tithing
6. Repenting, being of contrite heart before God.

Thank you for reading through it all, may the Lord bless you abundantly.

IT IS GOOD TO GIVE THANKS TO GOD.

Psalms 92:1 It is good to give thanks to the Lord, And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; (NKJV)

See what accompanies thanking God; 

Psalms 92:4 For You, Lord, have made me glad through Your work; I will triumph in the works of Your hands. (NKJV)

He makes us to triumph/ to rejoice/ to be happy (when we should be sad, or were not expecting to rejoice). He surprises us. 

He makes us rejoice and be victorious through His works. We know that God works in ways that we cannot understand, He tells us that when we call on Him, he answers us and show us great and mighty/hidden things which we do not know/ which we do not have an idea (Jeremiah 33:3).
So through His unique way of working He makes us joyful, victorious, winners only if we will thank Him. 

Let us embrace an habit of thanking God.

Let's see how  Daniel excelled in offering thanksgiving to God;
Daniel 6:10
"...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." (NKJV)

-Daniel developed an habit of thanking God, see now how God delivered him by giving him favor before the king;

Daniel 6:14
And the king, when he heard these words, was greatly displeased with himself, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him; and he labored till the going down of the sun to deliver him. (NKJV)

What a joy!😊 Oh may we learn to thank God and make it an habit as Daniel did three times a day!

What time or seasons should we thank God or under which circumstances?
I Thessalonians 5:18
in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. (NKJV)

We are living in the era where the grace of God has been released. May we excel in this habit of offering thanksgiving to God or in materials. 
May the Lord bless you for reading all through. 
Mind your neighbour by sharing the link.
Live by scriptures, thank God everyday, despite COVID-19 pandemic,we shall triumphantly overcome!
