THEN GOD SAID...2

 


October 2.   THEN GOD SAID….. 2


“Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” Gen 1 vs 9

As God spoke, the elements obeyed Him. At the sound of His voice, the waters gathered together to make space for the dry land to appear. When we watch the tides rise, we see the force that lifts up the waters to an amazing height. The power of our God is on display for us to comprehend that there are no generators moving the waters, ONLY the power in God’s spoken words.

Today begins with us understanding the essence of hearing what God is saying to us. Can you hear the movement of the waters that He has spoken to in your life? Are you seeing the dry land that He has created for you as an escape route for you? Like the Israelites running for their dear lives, and the Red Sea was lifted for them to escape from their enemies. Our God is the same yesterday, today, and forevermore. His words are the same, speaking life into our emptiness. Has He said anything to you today? We do not need to understand what God has said. Remember, His ways are not our ways. He is the OWNER of the universe, and He has the sovereign power and authority over all of His creation and to do as He pleases.

As God separated the waters from the land, God was creating a space to share with mankind. If God has created space for you in His domain, what are you doing with it? The water was gathered, which means that we still have access to God’s water that never runs dry.

As humans, we can live for 3 days without water. Some believers can do 3 days of dry fasting and beyond that, they can collapse. Everything on earth needs water to survive. Our all-knowing God has surrounded us with mighty oceans, waterfalls, rivers, streams, lakes, and ponds. This is an indication to us of the importance of water in our daily lives.

When our Lord Jesus Christ says that He is the water of life, we see the water of life flowing from the throne of God and the Lamb—Rev 22:1. This water is flowing majestically, spirit-filled, infused with God’s glory, flowing from God’s throne and the Lamb.

Do we thirst for the water that God has gathered for us at the beginning of creation? Do we thirst for the water-of-life that flows from the throne of God and the Lamb? We need both waters, one for our beginnings and the other for our ending. We have a choice to hear what God is saying and to obey Him, that we will have eternal life. Amen 🙏🏾

Let Us Pray: We exalt Your holy name, and we thank You that we have ears to hear You when You speak. We thank You for the living waters that flow into us from Your throne. May we continue to drink from You and not from any man, we pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

YOU ARE A CHILD OF PROMISE

   MAY 1.       Acts: 1: 4-5   The days are going so quickly, I remember that Christmas was celebrated not too long ago and here we are celebrating Good Friday and Easter, the most important days in the Church calendar.   The celebration of our Lord Jesus Christ in this season is purposeful and it is from everlasting to everlasting. Some questions come to my mind, what if our Lord Jesus gave up on his disciples who had betrayed and denied him? What if our Lord Jesus Christ rose from the dead and decided to take a holiday from the stressful life he had been through? What if he did not leave us the Holy Spirit, our Comforter? The questions are endless and we sure do not have any answers to all of them and many more. We are the reason why our Lord Jesus Christ did not stop to take a rest and did not deny us, forgiving the thief on the cross.   Today we begin to see the enormity of the work our Lord Jesus Christ did for us, from the cross to...

WHO IS GOD TO YOU

  MAY 2.     Deuteronomy 6:4 Our God is an Amazing, Awesome God, The Creator of Heaven and the Earth, There is no one like Him, none to compare with Him, yes He is a perfect God. He is greater than all that he created, unlimited in nature, infinite and he is the God in three persons.   As you are dressed up to go out of your home, you are attired in all that God created including you yourself. Your clothes are made from cotton, silk, your shoes are made from animal skin, your perfume comes from natural oils, your jewellery comes from metals that are found in layers of soil. As you stand, there is nothing on you that was originally made by you.   All of these products were created by God before He created man and gave man dominion over all that He created. - 1 Corinthians 8:6.   Psalm 14 vs 1 AMP says, “The (spiritually) ignorant says in his heart that There is no God!!”   What do we say to that? Question who is God to you? He is the crea...

HOPE IN THE WORLD

Image
  MAY 3.      Romans:5: 4-5   Hope is not wishful thinking; hope is like making a long wish-list and waiting in great anticipation for each of the things you wished for to come through. You will find yourself marking off all the ones that God has answered.   On who are you hinging your hope on? My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus Christ and righteousness; this is the line of a very popular hymn that we all know. Is it true for you, can you let go and know that He who you hope on will not disappoint you. The faith that our hope has in God is the hope that does not disappoint, it transforms our suffering into endurance and our expectations into joy. This is the hope that all faithful believers enjoy, they have peace with God and they feel very secured. This brings the Christ-like character and the absolute abundant grace in our daily living.   Let Us Pray: Heavenly Father we ask to be filled with joy and peace as we are hopeful of yo...
