Hagar and her son Ishmael of about 17 years old wandered into the wilderness of Beer- Sheba after being sent away, Genesis 21:11-14. They had just a skin of water and bread with them. The water and bread soon finished and they were left with nothing except the clothes they wore, the empty skin for water and the sandals on their feet.

They were in the wilderness, a dry and weary land, a land with no spring of water, a land without big trees that could give shade from the scotching heat of the sun, a land full of wild animals. A land not inhabited by humans. They were alone in the open with no other clothes to change into, no food, no money, no water, no other human being to look to for help. They couldn’t go back to where they came from probably they had being warned never to come back. They couldn’t go further because doing so meant moving deeper into the wilderness, and into more danger. After going without food and water for days Ishmael was dying from hunger and thirst. He had become so famished, dehydrated and weak that the mother had to prop him up under one of the shrubs. With a heavy and broken heart she walked few yards away from him thinking the end had come for her beloved son Ishmael for she had said “let me not see the death of the child.” With a trembling heart full of fear for the life of her son she sat down and she wept! Genesis 14-16. What a terrible and hopeless situation!

Hagar had thought all was over for her and her son, she had resigned to fate. She had given up! However, it was not yet over! The God of heaven that sees everything, the One that hears even the faintest sigh of the heart, the help of the helpless, and hope of the hopeless intervened. Did the Scripture not say He would be gracious as soon as he hears your cry? Isaiah 30: 19. God saw their plight right there in the wilderness. He saw their tears and He heard their cries. He sent an angel to give her succor and assurance of His faithfulness to fulfill all He had promised her before now in Genesis 16: 11-12. Jehovah Jireh, the great provider opened her eyes and she saw a well of water she never saw before. He had miraculously provided a well of water just like the ram He miraculously provided for Abraham in place of Isaac. God had turned her crying to joy! So she went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink. That water was full of all that nourishes the body, soul and spirit. God was with the boy right there in the wilderness as he grew up. God did not allow any harm to befall them despite dwelling in the wilderness full of dangers because He was their habitation day and night. God was with Him right there in the wilderness and helped him fulfill all his life’s destiny, Genesis 21: 17- 21.

Some times in life, we find ourselves in certain unpalatable situation we never ever envisage we could be. I am talking of situations that totally destabilizes us leaving us confused and not knowing what to do. Situation that totally demobilizes us where though the present place we are is not conducive yet leaving the place is not possible; moving forward is impossible, moving backward is risky and dangerous and moving to the right or to the left side is not easy too. I am talking of situations where you are left all alone with nothing, no shelter, no cloths, no food, no one to look to for any help and assistance. I am talking about situations when nothing seems to work and everyone and everything is against you. At such times the heart becomes weak, weary and discouraged and the temptation to give up is high. Yet, you must not give up, for your breakthrough is nearer you than you can imagine. God the ever present help in the time of trouble is nearby. Cry unto Him for help and He will answer you, Psalm 50:15: Psalm 34:15. Don’t lose hope for just when you think it is over, God sends you a miracle that will take care of all areas of your needs in a way you can never figure out. He is the miracle working God, the Alpha and Omega. God will take care of you, continue clinging onto Him.

Kindly continue post on http://lovelashblog.com/2019/02/07/dont-give-up-god-will-take-care-of-you/

God loves you and so do I.

Sometimes I wished God had abandoned Hagar and Ishmael in the wilderness. The survival of Ishmael birthed Arabs and the rise of Islam. God's ways are not ours anyway. HE WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU.

Continue deceiving yourself with these age old lies.

Am glad ZOHARARIEL above has attempted enlightening you, its left for you to wake up or slumber on.
Go check history, every religion with its beliefs has an expiry date, including yours. Superior knowledge will always triumph over deceit and lies.

How is God taking care of the starving children in Africa

Woe to the world for the causes of sin. These stumbling blocks must come, but woe to the man through whom they come!

But woe to the earth and the sea; with great fury the devil has come down to you, knowing he has only a short time

Thank you OP for the encouragement and the inspiration. Exactly what I need right now in my life, just a word to remind me he will take care of me. I still believe in him inspite of the storm.

God if he exists does not send any body

If you really had time to write all this, I pray you find peace and may the burdens of your heart be light. Blessed weekend brother.

Zoharariel:
Yes, God will take care of you just like he is taking care of the christian victims of Boko Haram & Fulani Herdsmen - by sending them to their early graves.

Children of God, shout Halleluyah!

Our memory verse today is again taken from that same book of John 8:32.

"And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

Why is it important for you to know the truth?

It is important to know the truth in order to be:

1.) free from mental slavery;

2.) free from the generational manipulations of your family tree by the Romans, Greeks and their satanic agents worldwide;

3.) and free from the shackles of Pastors & G.Os who have turned you and your family members into Cash Cows to upgrade their Ministries & fund their extravagant lifestyles.

Do not worry, that same book that was used to enslave, brainwash & program you into a "Robotic Sheeple" is still the same book I will use to de-brainwash, de-program & set you free.

Praise Tha Lord..............Halleluyah!

You know, it is often said that "The best way to hide something from Black people is to put it in a book.” Because our people are averse to reading.

But not to worry, in this case, we have done the readings for you, all you have to do is engage your brain and set yourself free.

Now, bring out your Bibles and let us plunge headlong into the word of Gad again.

1.) God sent his prophet to threaten David with how many years of famine?

* Seven (2 Samuel 24:13)

* Three (1 Chronicles 21:12)

2.) How old was Ahaziah when he began to rule over Jerusalem?

* Eight hundred (2 Samuel 23:8 )

15.) Apart from Jesus did anyone else ascend to heaven?

* No (John 3:13)

Children of God, it is clear & evident from all these contradictions & lies listed above, that your God - Yahweh is neither aware of a book called "The Holy Bible" nor inspired anybody to write any "Holy Book".

Therefore collection of "Tithes" & "Offerings (First fruit ooo, Birthday ooo, Building ooo)" on behalf of any God is nothing but a scam manufactured by these money-hungry religionists to con gullible people out of their hard-earned money.

The era of "Monkey Dey Work, Baboon Wear Suit, Carry Microphone, and Stand for Pulpit To Dey Chop" is over!

Channel your Tithes & First Fruit offerings into buying landed properties, building houses & buying latest automobile machines like your Pastors & G.Os are doing.

Abi are you not tired of jumping from okada to danfo bus and being harassed by your Landlords?

If you think you need prayers to be successful, then ask Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Koch Brothers, Vladimir Lisin, Alexey Mordashov, Alisher Usmanov, Viktor Vekselberg & Roman Abramovich how many times they have attended marathon prayer vigils - crying unto an imaginary God for blessings & prosperity.

All you need to be wealthy is reposition your finances, take calculative risks & ditch every bad-money habits.

I read sometime ago how Pastor Sam Adeyemi's plan to acquire a private jet for his birthday was frustrated by the Board of Directors of the "Daystar Christian Center".

https://www.nigeriafilms.com/style/131-religion-section/23181-pastor-sam-adeyemi-fights-dirty-with-daystar-board-over-private-jet-acquisition

Can you imagine that? "Board of Directors" in the so-called house of God?

It has tayed (e don tay) wey these con men have been milking my people like the breast of a Sokoto Gudali cow.

Who were the Board of Directors of the Jesus Ministry when he was alive and what were they directing?

Who were the Board of Directors of Moses & Aaron when they led the children of Israel out of Egypt?

Even in your so-called Heaven, who are the Board of Directors of Yahweh & Jesus?

Children of God, unless we are fooling ourselves, religion is a big scam and the Church is a money-spinning business. It has always been a business - and must be compelled to pay Federal, State & Local Government taxes in arrears.

As for the incorrigible zombies that will still come out to defend the church - using their hypocritical belch of "charity works" as a shield; not to worry, we shall set up a committee (Possibly headed by Daddy Freeze or El-Rufai ) that will be saddled with the responsibility of looking into the books & accounts of all the churches; their incomes, juxtaposed with the amount budgeted for charities.

You can not have an annual income of 1 Billion Dollars and allocate a measly amount of 10 Million Naira for charities (which mostly involves the distribution of tissue papers, handfans, biros & packs of Tom-Tom to the gullible congregants) just to deceive the masses.

Yes, some sheeples will say the Government has no business probing the books & accounts of the churches. If Jesus Christ whom you emulate in your fraudulent preaching of the gospel could pay his tax, then you have no excuse whatsoever not to comply.

Matthew 17:24–27

24 When Jesus and the others arrived in Capernaum, the collectors for the temple tax came to Peter and asked, “Does your teacher pay the temple tax?”

25 “Yes, he does,” Peter answered.
After they had returned home, Jesus went up to Peter and asked him, “Simon, what do you think? Do the kings of this earth collect taxes and fees from their own people or from foreigners?”

26 Peter answered, “From foreigners.” Jesus replied, “Then their own people[b] don’t have to pay.

27 But we don’t want to cause trouble. So go cast a line into the lake and pull out the first fish you hook. Open its mouth, and you will find a coin. Use it to pay your taxes and mine.”

As you can see from this scripture above, Jesus Christ humbled himself by paying his taxes without putting up any resistance, and so, all the Pentecostal, Catholic & other denominations should follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ - by paying their taxes to the Government, else their monies should be confiscated & assets nationalized.

Conclusively, Brethren - I don’t know if Yahweh exists, but it would be better for His reputation & heavenly kingdom if He did not.

MrPRevailer:


Woe to the world for the causes of sin. These stumbling blocks must come, but woe to the man through whom they come!

But woe to the earth and the sea; with great fury the devil has come down to you, knowing he has only a short time

just use your time to do something important in life. The most richest in the world are the most corrupted people. Apparently, your God has thrown a blind eyes to that as well.
