Place of Priesthood.

Moreover he commanded the people that dwelt in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might be encouraged in the law of the Lord. - 2 Chronicles 31:4. The priests are God's representatives on the earth, God's portion belongs to them, in forms of tithes and offering as we see in verse 5, "and as soon as the commandment came abroad, the children of Israel brought in abundance the first fruits of corn, wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field; and the tithe of all things brought they in abundantly." These encourages the Priest to focus only on God assignment, to mediate and to know God's plan and purpose and also for enforcing same. What happens when the priests are discouraged? In Nehemiah 13:10 the scripture says, "And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them : for the Levites and the singers, that did the work, were fled every one to his field." So, when they...

The Needful Or Obvious Pt.2

Greetings brethren, continuation from last week... The need for us give heed and hear from Him, rather than been distracted by some obvious needs. If we are led by obvious and neglecting the needful, how will we answer when we stand before the Almighty God, Judge of the whole world? Looking at money influence this week; What about if you are money led in our decisions? That would mean, working shift after shift to make ends meet, this will give you less or inadequate time for the Word of God. It also would mean living a life without God's protection and guidance, as a result of this, you can fix one thing another broke down(Psalm 127:1-2). The question is how long will you continue this way, all your life? let's face it, is this the purpose for our creation? Working round the clock just to make end meet? I think desire more for than that. This is situations were one is overtaken by cares(obvious) of this world. What about situation with wealthy individuals having ...

The Needful or Obvious Pt.1

And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. - Luke 10:41-42. Nobody just happened, we are created for specific purpose. Everybody cannot be head, or leg, or hand etc., each and everyone most identify their place and stay there, thus makeup the body system. The leg cannot say the hand is not performing its functions adequately, as a result, he will take its functions over. The leg would be led by the obvious and abuse its own purpose instead, why? He was not created to perform the function of the hand. When these things are properly understood, it will help us to gain speed towards the fulfillment of our purpose. Everyone will give account of his or her stewardship, when the time comes, what will be your report, when all that you have been doing is the obvious(somebody else's assignment), and ignoring yours or ...

Unfailing Words

At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it; If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them. - Jeremiah 18:7-8. God sent Jonah to Nineveh saying, repent from your evil, else destruction is looming. The King quickly declare a fast and they were preserved, when they repented or responded to the message. But, what do you think the impenitent minds among them thought about the development when the 40days time frame came and passed, and nothing seemed to have happened? This is one of those fake prophet! Right?! Would they have been spared had they not fasted and repented sincerely? The answer is no! For fact this is one of the reason Jonah was unwilling to go deliver the message he was sent in the first place, he knew when the message is delivered and the people repented, God would spare them. If this happened, the peop...
