KEEP HOLDING ON

KEEP HOLDING ON


How Long shall I need to wait after doing all that is needed to be done for the "Siege" to pass?
 
You maybe asking this just at the moment, confused and seeking other options in regards to that 'situation and problem' at hand...

My dear friend sometimes "Patience"(Heb 10:36) might just not be enough to see you through that challenge, but u need to have some sense of "Craziness for God and Radical trust in HIS every word" Job 2:9-10.

Only a man that is lost in 'Total Trust' in GOD like Job would 'not' at the midst of all never shift grounds in believing in Gods word, regardless the current situation(Job 2:11-13).

Its hard to say sometimes "I know He will", but sincerely "God is more than ABLE, He can do it", still hold on and be radical in your trusting in Him, He surely will show up!

Just keep confessing His promises and keep reminding Him of His word (remember HE honors HIS word more than HIS Name).

Be encouraged!

"IN MY THOUGHTS"

"In my thought's"
(From the Christian Context of Psalms 119:105)



When the Scriptures said; "thy WORD is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path (Psalms 119:105)",
it didn't literally mean the mere physical 'Lamp' we are accustomed to.
It only took significant meaning from that physical factor which we concur with. 

How can a man find his way through the dark with out the aid of a 'Light'? this is not possible except that same man makes do of the light provided by a Lamp. Darkness can keep a man away from the reality that are all around him, and limit him from certain privileges that lie wait all around him, until he comes to light he will remain limited and aimless.

I would like to term darkness in the context of this post as 'Ignorance' and the Lamp as the 'WORD of GOD(this we know as Bible students)', if a man continues to walk in ignorance and make errors that shows lack of understanding in issues and matters of life around him he definitely is in darkness.

That same man would believe his judgments and decisions are rightly poised, based on the earthly patterns and standards which his mind conforms with, and his eyes of understanding for the deep things of his earthly 'know how'.

His judgment towards delicate matters automatically shows his lack of depth in the balanced Godly understanding. He makes irrational decisions and is quick to jump into the wrong side of Gods will and purpose.

"The LAMP scriptures was talking about was 'Gods illuminating Word' that searches the deeper parts of the heart of men and the mysteries of this World."
Only when the Word of God which is the Scripture that we also know as the lettered Word of GOD which is the Holy Bible, resides in our hearts as 'thought's, as part of our language consciousness, as letters and numbers the runs in our minds, as names, as colors, as images etc that our mind is accustomed to day in day out.
We will not be able to walk through the Path of Godly Wisdom with ease and clarity.

So, "a lamp unto my feet" to me literally means "the WORD of truth and insight for my journey here on earth",
"And a light unto my path" means "revelation and clarity to my daily walk and dealings in this life".

Only a foolish Christian will make decisions without "scanning his/her decision with the WORD of GOD", sentiment and feelings are work tools of the earthly patterns that makes a "Wordless" Christian make series of errors that GOD definitely won't be pleased with.

Now, the question is; "How much of the WORD resides in you?"
For me its not how much of scriptures have you crammed so as to show how equipped a Christian you are(as a reason of showoff), NO!
I simply mean "how much of that little WORD that is in the inside of you that draws you back to GOD when you are about to make those decisions that makes or mar you, that reminds you of what GOD says about a situation".

"The WORD of GOD is Counsel unto this life, and Understanding unto this world"
- if I could be allowed to rephrase Psalms 119:105 the above phrase would be my thought shared to you.

To Christians, Leaders, Clergy's and all that seek to do the right will of GOD, it is only when the WORD of GOD in you draws you back to GOD for counsel and direction that you rightly will be living Psalms 119:105(Thy Word is lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path).

So, "don't say that thing you feel you should say or do that which you feel you should do" except GODs WORD certifies it ok and shows GODs will in it.

So to a larger populace of the body of Christ, let's stop living in "unrealized ignorance(darkness)" and pursue finding the right path with the WORD of GOD as the most Profitable Counsel.

HOW OFTEN DO YOU PRAY FOR THE ALTAR THAT FEEDS YOUR SOUL?

HOW OFTEN DO YOU PRAY FOR THE ALTAR THAT FEEDS YOUR SOUL?


How often do you pray for the "Altar" that feeds your soul with the word of the Living GOD?
Today the church is filled with Altars that have lost their "savor, saltiness and unction(Power for salvation and direction).

So many Altars are politically poised, financially minded, greed driven, flesh powered, I know better syndrome and some are driven to pull others down for their selfish and wicked desires...
The Altar shouldn't be defined away from; "Jesus died for you and I so that we may have life abundantly,so come to HIM today and remain in HIM... and be vigilant the same JESUS is coming back again so very soon"... This should be the amplified gospel of the Altar and not otherwise.
 

Do you remember this scripture: “ * Not everyone who calls me ‘Lord, Lord’ will enter the Kingdom of heaven, but only those who do what my Father in heaven wants them to do * When the Judgment Day comes, many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord! In your name we spoke God's message, by your name we drove out many demons and performed many miracles!’ * Then I will say to them, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you wicked people!’
Matthew 7:21-23


When the main focus of the pulpit has been abandoned and left out of the 'Core' of the church, the above scripture comes to play at the last day of reward.
Some of this altars will never be exposed anytime soon, some will, but remember in all their reward will be given on the last day.
So, how many of you keep praying that the Altar that feeds you is still connected to the plan and purpose of God and not to the desires and ambitions of selfish, confused, perverted and manipulated preachers?
Signs and wonders don't define the Altar, oratory and ability preach fantastically do not also define the Altar, but "the ability to touch, break, convert and re-mold hearts for and unto the FATHER are evidence of an Altar that is still connected. "Men and women should come to the Altar and leave with a broken heart from sin and evil, and be triggered to go back and do GODs will again and again" and not otherwise.

Don't be deceived "GOD can never be mocked" HE can never say a thing and do otherwise, same as; HE can never tell HIS servants a thing and expect them to do otherwise...
So as Christians scan the Altar with the WORD of GOD(The BIBLE), not all that comes from the Altar today is from GOD, so always scan all and always pray that GODs Altar where you are connected to on earth is always "sync" to the heart of GOD.

In this last days we can't afford to joke with the Altar, because that's the point of getting GODs direction for this journey.

Tell a friend and also remember to pray for "The Altar that Feeds you".

LET'S TAKE HEED LEST WE FALL

THE CHURCH IN NIGERIA (Let’s Take Heed Lest We Fall)


I have this fear for the Church in Nigeria losing the essence of its existence and gradually losing its ‘Saltiness’ to the “STRONG HOLD” called “RELIGION”.
Christian leaders, Christian Fathers and Christians alike, can we pause and check our “Christ Like Value Meter”? Are we really living like Jesus did or would live if HE were here amongst us today? Don’t you all think most of us are really ‘de-valuing the Christian Life’ the Apostles and the Christian Greats have lived and laid down for us to follow? Let’s really pause and take the much talked about “Turkey” for example, because sometimes God uses some basic things to teach us lessons that would lead us through the path of HIS will.
                                                        ——Rev. 3:14-22——
“Turkey” is in the present day Europe and partly in Asia, and used to be a stronghold of Christianity back in the days. Christianity existed in Turkey for about 1,023 years, the seven churches Jesus spoke of in Revelations 2 & 3(Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea,) existed in the old Turkey, the disciples were also first called Christians in Turkey(Antioch), Apostle Paul was a citizen of Turkey because Tarsus existed in Turkey.
Now the main point in view: – Turkey once had the largest Christian auditorium in Europe called Hagia Sophia in Constantinople, today that same auditorium was firstly converted to a ‘Mosque’ for over 400yrs before it was converted to an ‘Islamic Museum’ which it currently serves as today.
– The Church in Turkey lost all because its leaders and fathers paid more emphasis on Religion, doctrinal differences which weakened the value of the Church in Turkey and also birthed Petty politics in the church coupled with ethnic biases, this also lead to ‘rivalries’ amongst denominations that existed in Turkey, the Church leaders and Pastors left their “Original Assignment” of Building men to become Christian Champions they only were focused on building ‘Cathedrals’ for themselves, The Islamic faithful’s saw our ‘cracks in our false prophesied Unity’ in Turkey (we keep growing in this weakness of ours which is ‘dis-unity’) and capitalized on them and made the most of it all, today the
= The current status of the Church in Turkey is
– Turkey now has 96% Muslims and 0.02% Christians which in population is lesser than 130,000. My Fear For The Church In NIGERIA Is; We are losing grounds to
-Religion in the Church
-Disunity amongst Churches
-Ethnicity in the Church
-Denominational rivalry
-Targeted doctrinal division
-Loss of vision for the work of winning and building souls for the Kingdom to ‘Building of Cathedrals and magnificent structures’ We have littered about half baked Christians and a bunch of misdirected men/women who have failed to understand their original purpose of being called Christians.
Religion is killing the Church very fast and its is birthing other vices in the Church that is making the Church lose its original taste and its real purpose. Remember history tells us that the spiritual foundation of the Church in Turkey was stronger than that of Nigeria and Christianity had existed for over 1000yrs in Turkey unlike our fragile history which is just about 172yrs old.
Do you know that the Islam Radicalism is gradually gaining grounds and systematically uprooting the seeds sown in the hearts of men, women and the youths in Nigeria? Due to our lack of concern for Godly character and life style which should be part of us daily. If it can happen in Turkey, it definitely can also happen to Nigeria if we are not “careful”. How gradually the fear for the Church and all that concerns the Church in Nigeria dying away, and as we speak the Church is still bound to the pillars of Religion here in Nigeria and we are ‘Living a double LIFE’ that does not speak well of “Jesus Christ”.
The Church needs to wake up, I don’t mean the denomination neither am I talking to all your structures, but I am talking to all of us to start searching deep into our hearts and ask ourselves are we really “Christ like”? If we are ‘X-rayed’ will our result display Gods characters in us?
We need to rebuild our walls and focus on building men and not ‘structures’, we need to genuinely unite and become ‘iron’ so that we all can sharpen each other.
How come ‘ordinary men’ claim to bring change to us all, when Gods servants have not said the heart of the Father to all. Whose report are we suppose to believe and listen to, mans(politicians) or that of Gods through HIS prophets? Enough of playing second fiddle and being seen as weak and unserious to the mandate that was passed unto us.
Wake Up!
-Let us all pray for the emergence of the prophet for this time and age
-let us all change our attitude towards the work of God and come to clear understanding of how to ‘live the Will of God’ and have true genuine saltiness we are meant to be
-lets pray for our leaders, pastors, bishops and all to come to genuine repentance and for them to truly live the life of Jesus Christ and replicate same to their members
-we need to truly unite and deepen our Christian lives and make our values better
LET’S ARISE & LETS DO THE NEEDFUL The Revival meant to hit the World surely will start from here let’s not allow our selfish desires make us lose out and also regret.
Please friends Jesus is counting on you and I

Good Day!
