January 30 Proverbs 30:5

Pro 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

Humans today seem to be 'wiser' than they need to be.Many people know toomuch.They've read that,they know this and consequently, their trust is now in themselves,in their knowledge and in the source
of information that they have.Many people are armed to the teeth with evidence.they've studied ,they 'understand' or so it seems,so they can't believe. "O,that leg looks bad,judging from my experience and 'scientific' knowledge,it should be cut-off (amputated),not healed".The Word of God who is true and for all says God is a shield to them that trust in Him. Trust in God,not in what you know.God declares in our Today's passage.Every word of God is pure.EVERY.Thats final if you trust God.Unfotunately,
people do not.They believe, o the old testament is corrupt,The gospels are tampered with,the epistles were added by some group etc. Well,what God has cleansed,for your advice,call it not unclean.God has given us the gift of the Bible.The 66 books.Everything.Every word of God is pure.The new testament says,all scripture is profitable.Do not remove from the Word.knowingly or ignorantly.

Unbelievers and their funny perspectives.You better repent,at least play safe.It won't do no harm.

Like I SAID EARLIER,SHE CAN TAKE HER MEDICINE.aND YOU MAY NEED TO step up your faith on her behalf.She doesn't need unbelief around her.There nothing wrong with her taking good medicine.What she needs is to put her trust in God more than in the medicine.Its a time to draw closer to God.God can heal her if she believes that God will heal her

January 29 Psalm29:2

Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

We live in the times of the end.Its quite easy to echo with Christ and say 'If Jesus comes today,will he find faith on earth?'We're surrounded by men pleasers and people who love to hear what they want to hear. It many places of worship today,it is sad to note that the glory due to the Lord's name is not given to Him.We're quick to mistake our dance,our clap,our money as what the Lord really wants. Its now normal everywhere to hear something like "If you know you love God/God is good, do this or do that". In God's scope,in the Bible's view, the worship of the Lord should be done in holiness.God sees it as a beauty.Give God glory due to His name,worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.O that you could have a revelation of the beauty of holiness. It's more than the superficial ways that we've come to be used to and satisfied with.Worship in the beauty of holiness.In the beauty of holiness.

January 28 Proverbs 28v19
Pro 28:19 Whoever works his land will have plenty to eat. Whoever chases unrealistic dreams will have plenty of nothing. God's Word

You surely must have heard about laws of success before. Everybody comes out with various ones. You hear 21 principles of success,7 laws of prosperity,12 laws of dominion,40 tips to breakthrough and such like.Some pay a lot of money to hear these things in a lecture,a seminar,through books and audio CDs,mp3s and so on. Of course,many of these things are real and do work but it should not be too new to a believer or a student of the Bible. Our Today's verse says he that tills his land will have plenty of bread,but he that follows worthless pursuitswill have plenty of poverty (enough poverty).
Its a law,its a fact.It doesn't matter whether you're catholic or protestant,spirit-filled or athiest,whoever. He that tills will be rich. Be diligent,be hardworking and you will make it Yes,God can help you to make it,but you have your part to play.Every one that plays his/her part well has plenty of bread.Some people work and think so hard to swindle and steal from people.Some work and think hard to develop ideas and move the world forward.,the IT people are tilling their land and making money.He that tilleth his land has plenty of bread.But anybody that follows vain people(empty headed fellows) will have enough poverty. Make a move to move forward from Today.Obey this God ordained laws and live a happier life.

@all
Sorry I've not been opportuned to post.Please forgive me

@sweetmum
Thank you very much.I'm encouraged and watered.

Act 26:18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

In every progressive organisation,establishment or company, every worker has his/her scope of work,objectives,kind of mission statement and duty whether written or otherwise. It could be a big football club,a bank, an oil company,government or a small business center.
In every proper family, all the members of the family including the visitors have their scope of work and duty.
In heaven, everybody has his own specific scope of work and duties.It is not much different in the church.Every pastor,member,invitee,first timer, all have their duties for the church to function right and the presence of God to continue with it.Some of the duties of the pastor are written in Today's passage. The pastor should open the eyes of the congregation.He should remove every form of dangerous ignorance (whether spiritual,financial,medical etc). The pastor should TURN his congregation from darkness to light,and from satan to God. It's not enough to keep you coming to church,he should TURN you.Literally TURN you from every wrong to the light. The pastor should preach repentance (TURNING) and forgiveness of sins to his congregation and tell them of their inheritance.Is your pastor living up to his duties? Please Pray for him to leave up to his duties.

January 25 Acts 25:4
4. But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself would depart shortly thither.

Here comes another classic example of God working behind the scenes for us.I love God. Its not news that the Jews are favoured people.They have it easy procuring favour through the ages.In the chapter before our passage's,the last verse,they just demonstrated that. Even against Paul! Former governor Felix was willing to show the Jews a pleasure. Then comes Festus,the new governor.He went to visit the Jews,and the Jews came informing and begging him and desiring a favour against Paul. 9times out of 10,they should get this request granted.The governor didn't even know Paul,and actually in verse9 he was willing to show the Jews a pleasure. But God was there,working behind the scene to keep Paul from the plan of the Jews.The Jews didn't get their request. Your enemies will not get their request granted. Because you are kept by the power of God,day by day,night by night. The Lord is your shade upon your right hand.And you're seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus on God's right hand.You're covered. There's nothing to be worried about.

I had to find time for this.There's nothing wrong with her taking good medication.Medicine does good,that's what the word of God says.It doesn't reduce her faith.Her submission to HIV test itself shows her belief in medicine,so go ahead take good medication and trust God.keep trusting and you'll also see God's good face.

January 24 Proverbs 24:32
32. Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction.
Praise God. We live in a day where you could be surrounded by positive talk.Many are making it an habit to have a model.Did I say a model?No sorry role modelS.There seems to be a lot of good examples to follow.You'll see people say,this is my spiritual model,thats my financial mentor,those are my marital model,my academic model etc. Hmmm,many good examples. Do you ever consider that there's something important to learn from bad people's lives as well?Our Today's passage says 'I saw and considered it well'.Yes,you need to open your eyes and consider it well.Bad people are not to be gossiped about or laughed at.Take heed lest you fall.Learn.Look upon it and receive instruction.Look at the way that man became homosexual,how that unmarried girl got impregnated,What that guy did that got him into prison,the way those people dressed before been shamefully addressed.Look before you leap.Consider it well today and receive instruction.

January 23 Job 23v14
14. For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him.

Do you remember when these big companies announce their public offers?Those big banks whose staff are 'always' smiling.Those multinationals.Those people with the many adverts.Once there's word that these want to extend shares to the public,people begin to hustle and to lobby.They want to put as much money as they can into the investment because the belief is that,very soon money will multiply.Even people abroad send money to their relatives to help them buy.Its that serious.Infact,some people make sure that the day the offer closes is extended.Why? Because they believe they'll get their dividends. We have a God who owns the whole world+x. Think about that.If only we could believe and invest,then we'll reap the dividends of investing. It is surer than any economy,For He performs that which is appointed for me,and many such things are with Him. He is able.He will deliver.Your dividends are sure. He makes it happen.Put your hope in Him. Put your faith in God,and,as some of my countrypeople say,the water that is appointed for you,You will drink it. No devil,no enemy,nobody can stop it.For God is for you.

January 22 Proverbs 22:28
28. Remove not the ancient landmark,which thy fathers have set.

Tough advice,you might think.But good advice all the same.Its in the Proverbs.Its most probably the wisest thing to do.Remove not the ancient landmark.Don't remove the bound.Don't break the hedge. Landmarks or bounds are not limitations or kill joys. Many today have being taught to see landmarks as shackles,manipulative,legalistic.Well,they're not.It all depends on your standpoint and your vision. Hedges are set to keep you from danger.There's danger in this world.come out of fantasy.Christians are strangers,not of this world.You can't do any and everything. Whosoever breaks the landmark,the serpent will bite.Thats truth. Our spiritual fathers have set before us a godly heritage.Remember 1Corinthians10v1? (I know where I came from).Lets follow it.Its the safest way to heaven.And you know what,there's joy in obedience to laid down biblical precepts,There's peace in trust. Every sheep needs shepherding.Only goats are 'free'.You can be a sheep.Don't remove the ancient landmark.

They were fairly dark.haha. Who cares.does their color add or remove anything to you?

Kunle,I don't think the right attitude is to be surprised,neither is it to be dejected or downcast or vengeful.Our going about condemning everything will not solve issues.neither will ill health caused by shock,dejection or hate.The right thing to do is endure and take heed.the bible already said it,the love of MANY shall wax cold,not all but many.He that Endures to the end,the same will be saved.And let he that THINKS he stands TAKE heed else he falls.Thats the attitude that gets to heaven.that's where I want to be.

@chrisbenogor
your unbelief is so clear,amazing

@Pastor AIO
ah why,we're having fun na,don't mind me jo.

@anonimi
its difficult to seperate the church from God, seeing the church is the bride of Christ.I-fy mentioned tenets of christianity,mentioned etc etc,mentioned more views.did you see that?there's no need for you to quarrel with the church or anyone for that matter.Follow peace with all men and holiness without which no man shall see God.Hebrews12.

@Pastor AIO
are you ye?

Amen brother.thanks

January 21 John 21:6,10,11

6. And he said unto them,Cast the net on the right side of the ship,and ye shall find. They cast therefore,and now THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DRAW IT for the multitude of fishes.
10. Jesus saith unto them,Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.
11. Simon Peter went up,and drew the net to land full of great fishes,an hundred and fifty and three:and for all there were so many,yet was not the net broken.
Christ Jesus has the power. He is God.Meaning He is omnipotent,able to do all things.Infact,He said 'all power is given to me in heaven and in earth'.If we obey Him,we become exposed to unlimited power. In our Today's passage,some of the disciples(about seven,7) had gone to catch fish.Then Jesus told them to cast the net and they'll find.He is Jehovah Jireh,He can provide all things.And so they cast their net and were not able to draw it because the fish were many.About 7people were struggling and dragging fish. Then later,Jesus said to them,Bring the fish.And to my surprise,one man went and drew the net to land.Not by power,nor by might but by the Spirit of God.All things are possible.God ALWAYS provides the means when He sends you.Many wonder and ask,how did Samson do this,how did Noah do that,how did Moses do those?Its with God.With God,all things are possible.With God,your sickness is taken away,with God,your needs are provided for.If you will obey God,people will wonder at you,saying,How come?

@Ovamboland
actually mr,there's no gap in the narrative.The fact is simply that Adam had many other sons and daughters who like him lived above 500yrs.They migrated according to God's command and were very fruitful,GOD made them so.they lived long enough to see different generations.Simply because the bible doesn't write their biographies doesn't mean they were not there.The bible says they were there.Genesis 5v4. And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years.and he begat sons and daughters.

@bindex
you only feel its embarrassing because you don't understand it.You don't understand spiritual things nor do you understand their import.I wish you understood.
The only errors corrected were typographic errors or errors in translation,not a change in the original text to hide something.stop the hypocrisy,stop painting things and stop copying and pasting.Do your personal study and help yourself.And try reading the bible systematically for yourself.you'll understand it better than you presently do, though no way near the understanding of people who have eternal life.

@bindex
faith simply means belief.You believe in that verse thats why you're ranting about it.You're excited because you think you found an error/mistake.The positives you're not happy about like Jesus been born of a virgin.that one to you is a lie and a fairytale.But the verse in question to you,it actually happened.quit hypocrisy

@bindex
that was I think my 1st reply in this thread and you're talking about being cornered.I don't understand that.I said your soul is troubled and you need rest.the rest I'm refering to can only be given by Jesus.its a rest for your soul,a rest for eternity,a peace that is more than having money or cars.anybody can have money whether christian or non-christian.anybody can be poor whether christian or non- christian.That actually depends on the person.But the rest you need is greater than that.its a rest that comes when you take the water of life.and the water is free.only believe

All of us ke?who are we and where is he?

@bindex
you're simply displaying your incapacity at understanding spiritual things. Its absurd that you have faith in that passage.you need more faith to understand well.

Ok us.
who is us?

@Ben20001
i don't think that they're married yet.anyway,just my thoughts

Net and showercap will make it more artful.I might be tempted to also look at the art.

are you talking to me?

@angelina08
I'm not a pastor o,but please what's the meaning of outcast or OSU.I thought that is an higher institution.Also,are you a christian?As in a you born again/have you aspected Christ as your Lord and Saviour.

hmmm,na wa o,even chrisbenogor loves this people.the word is interestingly accurate.
