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 people will not respect him or take him serious anymore. He wanted something to happen, so the people will know that he indeed was sent by God and a real prophet, Jonah 4:5. But, God cannot be moved by man or people's opinion, there is just one way to find out if it's from God or not; just don't respond to the message.

Most times people want to learn from their own experiences, this is too dangerous and maybe too costly to attempt, rather learn from others. I believe the King of Nineveh remembered what happened in Sodom and Gomorrah. 
In some cases it may be the last and no more opportunity to make amend.

God loves us and have put in place everything we need to guide us through life. Ignoring His guiding principles, most times to our detriment.
He speaks to us through the Holy Bible and through many other ways that we can understand. We must ignore his rebuke, because He is not going to force anyone, Revelation 3:20,
"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."

I sincerely believe this is for someone today, stay blessed and experience God goodness. Have a fruitful week!

Jesus is Lord!

Press In

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.... – Colossians 3:16 Things in this old world aren't getting any better, and in recent times, the Holy Spirit has been speaking an urgent message to my heart. He's been saying, Press in. Draw in to a more intimate relationship with your heavenly Father. If you don't, you won't make it. If you do, you will see more glorious outpourings of God than you can imagine. That message isn't just for me. It's also for you—and for every other believer on the earth today. We are in the last of the last days of this age. Jesus is coming soon. It's an exciting time, but it's also a dangerous time. Those who don't do what the Spirit says, who don't press in to the Lord, are going to go from disaster to disaster. But those who do will defeat the disasters and turn them into glory, in Jesus' Name! Your first step in drawing closer to God is to realize that you know God first in His Word. Time spent meditating i...

Money truce.

People make reference that "The Bible says money is the root of all  evil...." The Bible didn't say that at all. The Bible says, "For the LOVE of MONEY is the root of all evil" (1Tim.6:10). You could be guilty of that sin and not have a dime. It's not wrong to have money; it's wrong for money to have you. #prosperityreality

Extremely Blessed!

A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth. – Proverbs 17:8 If I could give you a gift this Christmas, the Word is what I'd give you. I'd rather give it to you than a check for a million dollars. Because you can run through a million dollars real quick, but the truth of God's Word never quits—and it will get you out of situations a million dollars can't get you out of. Ken and I are just ordinary people. But when we latched on to God's Word, we latched on to something out of the ordinary, something that changed our lives. Every area of our lives. Nothing that's happened to us has happened because of us. It's happened because of God's Word. In fact, I don't even have to know you to promise you this: If you'll give God's Word your full attention—and not be afraid of His will for your life—you're going to be happier and more prosperous than anything you could ever dream up. O...
