SLUMBER NOT

DATE: OCTOBER 10, 2021

TOPIC: SLUMBER NOT  

BIBLE TEXT: Proverbs 6vs4 – Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids. 
Psalms 132vs4 – I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids.


We serve our God who neither sleeps nor slumbers – psalms 121v3-4. God is watchful and expects us also to be watchful and not to slumber in the position he has placed us by his grace. Because we are all made in His image and likeness, so we have dominion over weakness. For His word says let the weak say, I am strong – Joel 3vs10. For we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. Beloved, rise up in faith and slumber not, for it is dangerous. We see what happens while men slept (slumbered), his enemy came and sowed tares (damaging weed) among the wheat and went his way.

Because of certain carelessness the enemy sows seeds that can damage our progress and walks away freely. We need to awake up and grow spiritually by studying daily the word of God and praying without ceasing scripturally with devoted obedience. To slumber in this context; is to be careless, ignorant and inactive at the place of duty concerning our destiny. Life is not a ground for jesters or playing around. It is a place to take the bull by the horn (the violent in the spirit always takes it by force).

Rise up dear soldier and child of God and handle the issues of your destiny with the already given victory we have in Christ Jesus. Tomorrow may be too late, wake up and take action now.


Prayer: Heavenly Father, I receive the strength to stay watchful and prayerful in Jesus name.

Insight: Be watchful and vigilant soldier.

IT RUBS OFF

AUGUST 9th - CAPSULE 9 TOPIC: IT RUBS OFF BIBLE TEXT: Exodus 34 vs. 29 – His face glowed from being in the presence of God. You can only talk convincingly about the God you know, the one you’ve spent time with. Any other God belongs in a theology book, and you will have a hard time selling Him. When Moses came down from the mountain, his face shone. He had been in God’s presence, and when you’ve been there it shows in the way you look, the way you walk and talk, the way you treat your family, the way you spend your money and the way you respond to hurting people. It rubs off!   Paul Cain says “most of us are as close to God as we want to be”. Think about it “Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you” (James 4 vs. 8). How could you possibly be the same when you’ve been with Him? He transforms everything He touches. Listen – He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91 vs. 1). He didn’t say “visit” or...

The Good Slow

DATE 📅 19th September, 2022 TOPIC The Good Slow LIVING SCRIPTURE Habakkuk 2:3 KJV For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. A mango tree starts from a seed planted in the soil, from a mango fruit. It usually takes weeks or sometimes days for the leaves to grow or sprout and then it takes years before it can produce those edible mango fruits which we all like to chew. Likewise a young child cannot start behaving like a grown man or handling responsibilities automatically. Just like the fruits that once started as a seed, so is the LORD'S work everyday for His children if only we believe that it is settled. To tarry is to delay a thing or a matter, but the Lord said, it will surely come to pass it will no longer delay. Sometimes we experience the tarrying process and many think God is slow and not responsive to their needs. Many seek out alternati...

Heaven

Date 📅 25th November, 2022 Topic Heaven (Trading Talents) Living Scripture Matthew 25:14 KJV For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. The Kingdom of Heaven was described by our Lord Jesus Christ in various descriptive narratives pointing out the hidden truth in several parables. Heaven contains important life lessons on the purpose of every child of God here on earth and finding it makes the will of God visible to us and achievable here on earth. This morning we see Heaven from the business man perspective, enriching and equipping His own servants with goods that are all profitable. Heaven is real and Christ Jesus only invest in His own servants. God doesn't bless a mess, He works with as many who believes in Christ Jesus His Son who died for the world. God instructs His Son to deposit into every child of His talents that will favor them, show that they are useful and can work with Heaven....
