The Word of God is Light

    and a light for my path. (Psalm 119:105, NLT)

Jesus quoted the scriptures when he was tempted by Satan. Satan also quoted the scriptures but Jesus had all wisdom. I thank God that Jesus defeated Satan.

Friends we must know what the Word says for every situation. I believe it is a MUST for every child of God. The Psalmist said in Psalm 119:103, 105 that “How sweet are Your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” AMP.

The Word of God is Light, and it helps us walk in this world of darkness. Every morning, before you think about anything, take some time study the Word. And all through the day, meditate on what God’s Word says. It will help you to make right decisions, and guide your path from every plot of Satan.

Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. (Psalm 119:11 KJV)

Be encouraged to study the Word in the Morning, Afternoon, Evening, and Night. Let the Word be part of you and you will Shine in Jesus’ Name. Amen

God bless you!

He is always on Time

God's timeThis vision is for a future time. It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled. If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed. (Habakkuk 2:3,NLT)

God has set time for every activity under heaven. There is time to sow and time to reap. There is time to conceive and time to give birth. However, God’s calendar doesn’t work like ours. He waits for the right time to supply our needs. He doesn’t work because you are in a hurry to receive yet  He is always on time.

It could be that you have been praying for something and nothing seems to happen. Be encouraged that so long as you keep doing your best each day, God will push things to your direction at the right time.

All you need to do is to WAIT patiently on the Lord. The scripture says God has made everything beautiful for its own time (Ecclesiastes 3:11).

In the scriptures, Elijah sent message to King Ahab that he should ran because the rain was coming. King Ahab took the lead on his chariot but when Elijah started to run, he outran King Ahab who was on his chariot.

Notice king Ahab had chariot and he took the lead. He had an asset that made him move faster. In other words, he had advantage over Elijah. Yet Elijah got to the destination before he did. This tells me that the world around us may be moving fast but with the help of the Holy Spirit, we can do things faster.

People around you may be rushing to get things done but when you wait for the Lord, He will give you strength to outrun those who have taken the lead. It doesn’t matter if they are ten years, or five years, or one year, or one month ahead. God can thrust you years ahead with one idea or one opportunity when the time is right.

Wait patiently on the Lord.

In The Face of Terror, Be Still

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

Hello Everyone,

I believe you have seen and heard a lot about what happened last weekend in Paris and what happened yesterday at Bamako in Mali. I couldn’t believe my eyes because such scenes were seen in movies years ago but they happen to be the reality we face today and we must be prepared for them because missiles, guns, or physical weapons can’t destroy an ideology.

Since the incident happened, I have been following the development as it unfolds but my attention is on their (terrorists) motivation. What would motivate a person to kill innocent people or hold them hostages for hours? I went to YouTube and watched about 50 minutes documentary on Mumbai 26/11/2008. After that, I watched two documentaries of about 120 minutes on the attack at West Gate mall in Kenya. I watched that of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the guy who wanted to blow Delta Airline from Amsterdam to US on the Christmas day 2009 with an underwear bomb. I read many stories about suicide attacks in Africa, Middle East, Asia, etc. My observation was that some of these guys were innocent people who were brainwashed by rascals to cause such atrocities. However sizeable number of these terrorists are…let me just say deviants and hiding behind Islam.

As I watched the videos and read stories upon stories, I remembered the post I published that Nowhere is Safe but only in Jesus. This is the Christian’s hope in the 21st Century. The world is unsafe anymore. Friday’s night outing with friends and family turned out to be terror on streets. Safety at the public places isn’t 100% guaranteed. UK government announced how people should escape in the Paris style terror attack. The Telegraph had the heading ‘Run and hide, don’t play dead’: What to do in a Paris-style terror attack. Belgium has warned of serious and imminent threat and encouraged citizens to stay away from social places. US is not exempted as IS has warned of attacked, specifically mentioning Washington. These stories carry one thing: FEAR. A tool Satan uses to cause doubt among God’s children about His (God) promise of protection.

In such a time as this, I would encourage you to read Psalm 91. Don’t just read it but meditate on it. Believe in the Word. The truth is none of these things is a surprise to God. He made provisions for His children before they (atrocities) happened. Death isn’t the end for the child of God because we believe that Jesus is waiting for us at the other side of the road, welcoming the saints home. We that are alive have been commissioned to keep sending the message about God’s love through Jesus Christ to the ends of the world. Think about this for a moment If these terrorist knew/know Jesus and understand God’s love and command, such atrocities wouldn’t be happening.

I came to encourage you to Be Still and Know that He is God. He is watching over you, directing your steps, and His angels are protecting you from harm. You don’t have to be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day. God will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you. God is watching over you. Be still
