Thought For The Day: August 24, 2015

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

Today’s prosperity messages have led many people to the Broad way that leads to destruction. Gone are the days when people weep and turn away from their old sinful lives when they hear the Word from the pulpit. Poverty is now referred to as the Old Life whereas riches and power are termed as the New Life. 

What happened to the messages about Purity, Holiness, Sanctification, Repentance, Prayer, Fasting, Forgiveness, etc? Jesus is coming again and what account are we going to give if we shun the message of the Cross?

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. (‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭13-15‬ KJV)

WHO ARE YOU GOD?

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

I want to share with you today experience I had one morning with God. So often we hear people ask these questions; WHERE IS MY GOD?  WHO IS GOD? WHO IS JESUS? WHY HAS GOD FORSAKEN ME, MY FAMILY, ETC? WHY HASN’T GOD ANSWERED MY PRAYER? Etc. I woke up one early morning, and while I was meditating on His Word, I asked this question; WHO ARE YOU GOD? I wanted to know more about Him. David became a man after God’s heart because he took time to understand GOD’s precepts. Suddenly, someone spoke. It was a soft voice. He said “my name is I AM”.  “What does I AM means? I have heard it so many times” I asked

I felt a hand on my shoulder, and He said:

“I AM YOUR PROVIDER

I AM YOUR HEALER

I AM YOUR BANNER

I AM YOUR SANCTIFIER

I AM YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS

I AM YOUR HOST

I AM YOUR PEACE

I AM YOUR MOST HIGH GOD

I AM YOUR SHERPHERD

I AM EVERLASTING GOD

I AM EL-SHADDAI

I AM EVERYTHING YOU COULD EVER THINK OF

I AM WITH YOU.

I AM HE WHO MAKES WAY WHERE YOU THINK THERE IS NO WAY

I AM YOUR STRENGTH

I AM HE WHO LIVES IN YOU, AND WALKS IN YOU

I AM HE WHO KNEW YOU BEFORE YOU CAME TO THE WOMB.

NOTHING IS TOO HARD FOR ME. ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH ME. AND

WITHOUT ME, YOU CAN DO NOTHING.

TAKE CARE MY SON. DON’T WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING BECAUSE I AM WITH YOU.”

It was a wonderful encounter. We serve a living God. He speaks to us, He calls us but we hardly recognise His voice. Has it ever occurred to you that someone called your name, you turned, asked who called you and almost everyone said “No I haven’t called you”. What did you do? It was HIM. Some unbelievers used to say ghost.

Be encouraged today that no matter how big your problem may look like, GOD is bigger than that problem. Money, Job, School, Scholarship, Healing, Prosperity, etc, He is Bigger and Greater than these. BECAUSE HE LIVES, …….
