SELAH 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔 MOMENT.

In the time of trouble, an unfaithful person is not to be relied upon, because he/she will not stand up for you in the face of trouble. 

Be discerning by the help of the HOLY SPIRIT,  to know who around you is reliable per time before you make any commitment of any kind to such a person, lest you end up telling stories that touch the heart.

LORD, help me by putting constant and consistent leadings, prompting of the HOLY SPIRIT upon my spirit for my maturity, so as not to add to the list of men and women who have become victims of the snares of the devil in the precious name of JESUS.

SELAH 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔 MOMENT.

"The less is blessed of the better." The one who that is higher than you, is the only one qualified to lift you up.

In this case, you and I are the persons who fit into the category of the less who is blessed of the one who is the better (or the higher) who is the LORD JESUS CHRIST. 

No human being like myself has within themselves or by themselves the smallest capacity to bless another except they are empowered of the FATHER GOD to do so.The LORD Himself revealed this clearly when as a man or in HIS flesh told Pontius Pilate, before whom HE stood trial on that faithful day saying "YOU WOULD HAVE NO POWER OVER ME IF IT WERE NOT GIVEN TO YOU FROM ABOVE ......" (JOHN 19:11A).

From the above declaration of the LORD JESUS CHRIST to Pilate who tried to claim authority over HIM,HIS counsel to us is to seek HIM first and leave the addition of what we are seeking HIM for and how it would be done,  to HIM alone. (MATTHEW 6:33)

May the LORD grant you, my brother, friend and dear reader the grace to apply yourself faithfully to HIM via HIS Word that you might be enabled to enjoy the reality of HIS WORD that says 'The less is blessed of the better ' in 

all that concerns you. 

SHALOM 🙏.

SELAH 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔 MOMENT.

"Every commandment of the LORD has at the back of it, the voice of the giver of the commandment. 

When it carried out as commanded, the attached blessings are delivered, deployed in the direction of the person (persons to whom the commandment is given).

The scriptures are laden with the numerous commandments of the LORD to us eg 'Fear not ' which if we only obey we will enjoy the blessedness attached without any failure whatsoever..

Let us do well to search the scriptures for HIS commandments to us through our time of reading the scriptures, studying of the same plus meditating on them by the help of the HOLY SPIRIT and be committed doers of the same. We will be amazed at the fulfilment of these commandments to us as HE has spoken and the transformation that HIS commandments are capable of bringing forth in our lives. 

I commend you, my dear brother, friend and reader to GOD and to the Word of HIS grace,  which is able to build you up and to deliver to you, your inheritance among them who are sanctified in the precious name of the LORD JESUS CHRIST  as begin your adventure in HIS WORD today and going forward. Amen!

"If you falter (faint, wobble and collapse) in a time of trouble, how small is your strength! "

  The quality and quantity of your strength is revealed in the face, in the times of trouble and not in the rosy,pleasant times. A boxing champion's strength and quality is revealed when he faces an opponent in the ring not when he is having a party or when he is driving his latest car purchase. 

Challenges reveals the stuff that we are made of not comfort.When a sponge is soaked in water, you can not tell the volume of water that the sponge has soaked in until you apply pressure to it, that is until you squeeze the sponge  before you able to ascertain the volume of water which it has absorbed and whether it can absorb any more or not. 

The LORD JESUS in the gospels tells us of the times in which we live , describing it as the times that try the souls of men in line with the scripture text in PROVERBS 24:10.

Let us labour in the Word and Prayer to know the LORD that we may be ended with the requisite strength to handle and overcome the challenges that comes our way per time. 

Be blessed and strengthened with might in your inner man as you read this writing and as you fellowship with the LORD in the place of prayer and in the Word by the help of the HOLY SPIRIT in JESUS name.Amen.

SELAH 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔 MOMENT.

The eyes of the LORD are everywhere (leaving no place out, 360⁰ in operation or panoramic in view, I dare say.) for the sole purpose of keeping watch on the wicked and the good. 

The eyes of the LORD being everywhere does:

1.) Keep watch on the wicked to stop every and any form of their plots against the good or the righteous. 

2.) Keep watch on the good or the righteous to shield them from the wickedness that the wicked may be plotting against the good  and to advance the good in HIS will for their lives, wherever they may be found per time and season in the name of the LORD JESUS CHRIST.

The LORD'S will be unveiled to you as you journey forward on a daily basis with HIM.

SELAH 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔 MOMENT.

The goodness of the LORD extended in our direction every moment of our lives ought to keep producing this key fruit- that is, Praises unto HIM and nothing else. 

No matter how little,  the goodness of the LORD may appear to be in our sight. HE still deserves our praise, when we bear in mind that there really is nothing we could have done to make HIM show to us HIS goodness, but that of HIS magnanimity chooses to extend HIS goodness (waking us up into a new day, causing our body systems to function optimally without any assistance etc).

Every and any form that HIS goodness assumes should always activate a release of heart felt praise unto HIM from us and not create within us an entitlement mentality in us.

For to have an entitlement sense, will make praise not to be spontaneous from within us to GOD. Of the ten lepers who were healed by the LORD JESUS only one of them was made whole. 

The other nine who were healed but not made whole as the LORD JESUS pointed out had an entitlement mentality, while the one who was made whole gave thanks for the goodness of the LORD extended to him bearing in mind the fact that as a stranger to the covenant of GOD with Israel, he was not entitled to the benefit extended to him. His realisation of the fact that he was fast tracked by mercy into it drew out praise, appreciation from him to the LORD that made him whole. 

My dear friend and reader, let there be no reason too strong enough proceed from you at any point in time not to praise GOD for HIS goodness that you enjoy freely per time. 

Let us resolve like the Psalmist did in PSALM 13:6 REF  and it will amaze us (you and I) how much of HIS goodness that HE still has in store for us as the appreciation of that one leper who gave thanks to the MASTER produced for him ( his wholeness delivered to him by the LORD). 

I believe that the posture adopted by the one leper who returned to appreciate the LORD'S doing in his life unveiled the reality that 'There is more to this ,where this one came from ' (The leprosy was stopped at its roots by the healing, but the outward effects were dealt with by the LORD making him whole).

It is a new day for us, brethren.

SHALOM ! 🙏🙏

" The best way to preserve one's life after setting the LORD JESUS CHRIST upon the throne of our lives, is to  guard one's lips such that it doesn't operate flippantly, doesn't speak loosely. As not setting, a watch over our lips to keep it from speaking carelessly or loosely has a destination where it will lead us to. 

The destination being ruin (destruction, harsh outcome of pain and misery).

The ultimate of every speaking is either life or death, with no middle ground in between (PROVERBS 18:21.Ref). 

Therefore, we must endeavour to tailor your mouth by the Word of GOD (JOSHUA 1:8) and the help of the HOLY SPIRIT (ROMANS 8:26; JOHN 16:13-15) in line with the LORD'S designed outcome for HIS saints which must be our desire per time. Not aligning with the plan(JEREMIAH 29:11)  of the LORD for our lives is to come to ruin which is not in anyway the FATHER"S design for us.

May the FATHER'S  help reach you this season of your life with regards to how we make use of your lips when you humbly and genuinely call out to HIM for it, in the name of the LORD JESUS CHRIST. "

Pride and Disgrace are siamese twins just as Humility and Wisdom are.

You cannot have one without the other tagging along.

No one keeps company with Pride at any point in time in their lives that does not reap Disgrace as their as their profits as their harvest just as he who engages Humility will lay hold on Wisdom (The How to interact with people we meet along the way on the journey of life as we ought ) as their gain.

In essence, the choice you make today will go a long way to determine your outcome. Therefore, choose well today so that your outcome might be as rewarding as it ought to be. 

Have a blessed day.

Prayer without its roots in the Word of GOD is nothing but an abomination ( a thing of great dislike,despise) to the LORD.

In other not to be an irritant to the LORD, seek fervently with all that is within you by the help of the HOLY SPIRIT to be rooted, grounded in the Word of GOD by way of studying, reading and meditating on the same on a daily basis, if you must enjoy heaven's ordained answers to your prayers every time you set yourself out to pray.

The  LORD is ever willing and committed to answering our prayers when we approach unto HIM, but this must be done always on HIS own terms and conditions, not how think we think that HE should.

The way a device, be it a Mobile phone, an ATM card, Watch, a Computer Application etc, would not deliver optimally to us as they have been originally planned to deliver if we don't follow the laid out instructions for any of them to function, even so and more will prayer will not give to us as the LORD who is the Author of prayer has designed it to deliver. 

May we receive grace and understanding to approach the LORD in the place of prayer, as we ought to do on a daily basis so that our joy may always be full.

May the day, week, months and years of our lives continue to record the accounts of answered prayers which is HIS plan and delight for in the precious name of the LORD JESUS CHRIST. AMEN. 🙏
