I WILL STAND UPON MY WATCH

(PART 2) 

HABAKKUK  2:1

I will continue from where I stopped in my last post. We have discussed two out the three things we need to do before the year runs out. In less than 48 hrs we will be in year 2023 and it is very very important that we have a vision to run with. To this end I will be sharing with us today the last point which is: 

3) INSTRUCTIONS : One of the beauty of walking with God is seeing what He says come to pass. 


It makes our relationship with Him so REAL AND ENJOYABLE. Isaiah 42:9 says, "Behold the former things are come to pass and new things do I declare, before they spring forth I tell you of them". 


Without instructions and Words from the Lord that you are running with you and I will not be able to assess very well our progress in our walk with God and in destiny fulfilment. 


Walking with God is more than just going to church and carrying out church activities. If that is all you do it will be more or less like a weekly routine to you over time. The life giving factor will not be there again


The essence of Jesus's death and resurrection is not so that we can have a place to congregate but so that we can have a personal relationship with God. 


It is this personal relationship with God that infuses life into church attendance and activities. 


You benefit more from going to church and doing church activities if you have a personal intimate relationship with God.


It is in the place of intimacy that you get to know God one on one and can have personal words and instructions for the coming year. 


Job 22:22 says, "Receive I pray thee the law from His mouth and lay up His words in thy heart". 


Instructions ascertain God's participation in our lives and in what we do. It helps us to be established in God. 


You will be able to boldly say that I know that I know that God is involved in this and I am doing exactly what God told me to do. 


Instructions help us to filter out some things that may want to distract us during the course of the year. 


It narrows down our activities and helps us  focus on important things only. 


Instructions help us to always return to the giver of the instructions when we encounter challenges along the way. 


Spend quality time alone in the presence of God in the remaining hours of this year to receive Words and instructions that you will run with in the coming year. 


Doing this makes God so real to you, if foster's intimacy with Him. Those words will be your guide in the year, Psalm 119:105. 


Infact, it will help you return at the end of 2023 with constructive thanksgiving, not just haphazard thanksgiving. 


Either way, thanksgiving is thanksgiving; but it pleases the Father more when we say what you said came to pass Lord; than when we have to look here and there to see what to thank Him for at the end of the year.....


 Or when we just join others to thank Him generally not because of something specific He said that He has brought to pass in our lives. 


God proves His superiority over idols by declaring things before they happen. It is His way of showing that He is God. 


He said I have declared the former things from the beginning and they went forth out of my mouth and I showed them. I did them suddenly and they came to pass. 


I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to pass I showed thee: lest thou shouldest say mine idol hath done them and my graven image and my molten image hath commanded them, Isaiah 45:3&5. 


You can see that word from the beginning recurring again and again. Begin 2023 with Words and instructions from the Lord so that you can say at the end of the year, the Lord hath said this and He has brought it to pass.


Salvation is found in none else, for there is no name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved, except the name of Jesus. 


You may be reading this post and you have not yet given your life to Jesus. This is another opportunity for you to make that decision for Jesus by saying this prayer and mean it genuinely from your heart: 


Lord Jesus, I love You with all my heart. I believe that You are the Son of God that died and she'd His blood for my sins. Today, I receive Your life and I declare that I am Yours. 


Congratulations you are now born again!


PEACE


SALVATION PRAYER


Anything short of you being born again and living a life of holiness and purity hurt Jesus so much. But you can make things right here and now by saying this simple prayer and mean it genuinely from your heart:


 Lord Jesus I come to you today. I acknowledge that I am a sinner and I cannot help myself. I repent of all my sins and I forsake them. Jesus, I invite you into my life, be my Lord, be my Saviour. 


Wash me by your precious blood, forgive my sins and write my name in the book of life. From this day, I promise to follow you all the rest of my life. Help me Lord, in Jesus name, Amen. Congratulations you are now born again!


PEACE

LESSONS FROM THE SHIPWRECK  Acts 27&28 Sometimes God brings about deliverance painfully slow. He seems to take all His time. It is because what God wants you to get out of that situation is far more than just being delivered.  Sometimes what you come out with is not just the testimony of deliverance or promotion, an anointing comes upon you on the other side of it.  It is not just an affliction, it is also your test. So instead of God bringing you out at once, He makes you walk through the length and breath of the situation and then brings you out on the other side. If you can get and sustain God's perspective on any situation the problem is 50% solved.  You can't enter the house of a strong man and spoil his goods without first binding the strong man, Mark 3;27 You are a strong man and satan cannot spoil your goods without first binding you and his first weapon for binding people is fear.  He uses fear to paralyze people. It is his chiefest weapon, Hebrews 2:15 If God can

THEY THAT BE PLANTED Psalm 92:13&14 Sometimes in life we hurry and move from place to place only to find out we have never really left one spot.  But atimes we remain in one physical location for long, only to find out that we have reached the world even from that one spot.  The Bible talks about being planted in one spot and from that spot the shadow of your branches will spread and cover the hills and mountains and you will spread your boughs and root to the seas and rivers, Psalm 80:8-11. The blessings of God are not place dependent they are His will dependent.  People keep making that mistake over and over again and till tomorrow they will keep making it but you can exempt yourself from that statistics. You cam be in one spot and kings of the earth will come and meet you in that one spot and bring you out, that is the description of a man God is working it.  People will seek out the grace from wherever it is hiding whether in the wilderness, desert or bush.  They remain at thei

GAINING MASTERY OVER CHANGES IN TIMES AND SEASONS Genesis 8:22 Spiritual seasons comes to an end as well as Natural seasons. One thing you must learn early in your walk with God is flexibility. Flexibility and alignment goes hand in hand. This is why...... God is dynamic (John 3:8), life is dynamic and we should also be dynamic.  Seasons change but a Christian that will live above the changing times and seasons is the one that has the flexibility to be evolving above the demands of the times and seasons.  God doesn't change but He moves and his strategies and methods change from time to time to match the changes in times and seasons.  That you are moving doesn't mean you are changing. Change and movement are two different things entirely.  In the minds of many it means the same thing especially where God is concerned.  Sometimes the changes in times and seasons are caused by demonic orchestrations and marshalled as attack against our spiritual life, Exodus 5:7 The victory lies
