Remember God's Place


But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.
2 Samuel 7:15.

This promise is in response to King David from God, when he made an enquiry about building a house for the Ark of God. He loved God and was desperate to please God in anyway possible. Verse 2 said,
2 Samuel 7:2, 
"That the king said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains."
To King David this wasn't right, and he wants it changed. However, God told him, that his son would, and not him, but he pleased God, that he had it in his heart; and got blessed for that. Even today, David is a household name.
Haggai 1:4 says, 
"Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house lie waste?" which house? The house of God, the Church!
How comfortable are you when you see certain things out of place or not the way it should be, and do not portrait the right image, as far as God is concerned.
- how do you feel, when the gospel is being perverted?
- how do you feel when a pastor, Evangelist, teacher or even a church building is not properly kept and not representing God's glory?
The list are endless...

Do the things of God move you, to the point, you want to make it better? It requires sacrifice. It's what King David did, it's what Abraham did, and a host of others, that secured their place in eternity, likewise built a name for their descendants in the process. They were compassionate about the things of God.

What sacrifice are you making to build a proper foundation for your lineage to improve upon? Make up the hedge today.
Life does not just consist of eating and drinking, and stockpiling stuff-up. Where you place your priorities today, matters. Nobody will live forever on earth. however, how we live, determines where we go.

Jesus is Lord!

SETTLED SOUL

  Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2 The state of one's mind [ soul ] determines his/her place in destiny. In life people are forced to bow to pair pressure or any other kind of pressure when they don't have a stable mind, or let's say the person have identity issue.  When Satan tempted Christ Jesus on His way from the wilderness after forty days prayer and fasting, what was the first question he asked Him? "if thou be the Son of God" if Jesus had had identity issue, he would have fallen for temptation in the view to show off, as a result lost His place and purpose. Knowing fully well that God had said, "... Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased." Lk. 3:22. Before embarking on the wilderness expenditure.  When you know who you are in the Word of God and are established in it; you wouldn't bow to the pressure of the world, because you see things differently....

The Guide

"And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the Lord's anointed is before him." - 1 Sam. 16:6 Looks, words, even principles can be deceptive, but God sees the heart of man and knows the thoughts and intent of the heart. Don't be deceived by fare speeches; look up to God who can reveal the truth behind every speech or statement as the case may be, and in every situation, job, friendship, businesses, investments etc. Only He knows, He alone can guide us successfully. 1 Sam. 16:7, says "But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart." He led Samuel; if you look on Him, He will guide you into all truth. His ways are paths of peace and joy. Enahoro Airononi #hedgersarmy, #faith, #light, #purpose, #revival, #redemption, #rede...

BE WISE.

  Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. Ephesians 5:17 God, at different times and in so many ways have tried and still trying to let us know what His will for us is (He never gives up on us) . Same way the devil is endeavouring to distract us from God's purpose for our life through various medium. There is a saying, when purpose of a thing is not known, the abuse of the thing is certain. Using a toddler for an example. He/she have no clue what a remote control to a television is, if they found one. They can drop it a bowl of water if available, and still feels happy about it; simply because they have no idea what it is meant for. But as they grow up their perspective change. Same way, God want us to grow to understand our purpose and His plans for our lives. Unfortunately, Satan have ways of distracting people from the medium made available by God for man to identify or discover his purpose on earth. In other to keep people (grown-ups) in per...
