NO GUARANTEE OF TOMORROW

DATE: NOVEMBER 3rd, 2021

TOPIC: NO GUARANTEE OF TOMORROW

BIBLE TEXT: Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. - James 4:13 - 14

Few people say, “I’ll see you tomorrow … unless I die before then” or “If I’m still alive this weekend, we should go see a movie.” We all make plans, whether it’s a holiday, a summer vacation, a college or university choice or a career. We naturally assume that we will live long enough for those plans to come to fruition.

There’s nothing wrong with that approach. Those verses in the book of James 4 aren’t telling us that God gets mad when we make plans for the future. They are pointing out that our plans are always secondary to God’s plans for us. God must take first place and Apex priority in our lives. We can assume we’ll get old before we die, but that doesn’t mean it will happen. None of us knows for sure how long we’ll live.

We can either be depressed by that thought or we can use it as an inspiration to make every moment count. If there’s no guarantee of tomorrow, let’s make sure we spend today wisely. Feel like telling a loved one how much you appreciate them? Do it today. Feel like apologizing to someone you’ve hurt? Do it today. There’s no guarantee you’ll have a chance to do it tomorrow. The trumpet will sound unexpectedly and the timing or date no man knows. Let us live each day in peace, love, forgiveness, truth and joy.

PRAYER

Heavenly Father, we praise you for the fact that you hold today and tomorrow in your hands. Give us the wisdom to know how to spend our time in the best way possible. Amen.

INSIGHT

Tommorow will take care of itself, do your best today Beloved.

NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH

Date - December 28th, 2021 Topic - NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH Bible Text - For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:38-39 Your parents love you. You may be able to do something that makes them angry, but you will never be able to do anything that makes them stop loving you. Try to imagine this kind of love and then multiply it by infinity. That’s the love that Jesus has for you. That’s the love that God has for you. God made you. He loved you enough to create you. He loved you enough to give you free will. Then he loved you enough to give you his Son. He loved you enough to forgive you for turning away from him. This is an impossible love! This is a love that we may never understand. But we don’t have to understand it. We just have to a

God's Security

DATE 27th January, 2023 TOPIC God's Security LIVING SCRIPTURE Exodus 13:21 KJV And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night: Security has been of prime importance to man after the fall of man from glory. The need for spiritual and physical security became a priority due to the rapid increase in crime and violence caused by man's sinful nature and the devil's influence on vulnerable souls. Some people go as far as fortifying themselves with charms and native concussion while other trust in gadgets and technology and the government to protect their lives and properties. And it was not so in the beginning when God created Adam and Eve. The Lord placed man in a garden (a peaceful serene environment) there was absolutely no reason to be afraid or the thought of thieves because the Lord was their security officer. Man fell and the hearts and intents of ma

PECULIAR PEOPLE

Date 📅 31st August, 2022 Topic Peculiar People Living Scripture 1 Peter 2:9 KJV But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: In the beginning God the Father was and is and is to come for a particular kind of people as He once did with Adam and eve in Eden. He created the heavens and the earth and everything that lives and breathes. And by the power of His Word He made man in His own image and likeness. Therefore man was made right from the beginning to be peculiar and fit for the glory of God. There was no plan in God's holy palm to reduce man to a pauper, it was our sinful ways and disobedience that caused us to fall short of this beautiful inheritance our first father once partook of. A peculiar People stands different, out of the ordinary, unusual and unpredictable from a specific clan or place. The scripture reads t
