MAKE THAT MOVE (DON’T JUST SIT) 2

By -

 Little David was reported to have witnessed Goliath taunting the Israeli army, but no one was able to confront him. He asked for permission to fight him and was granted it. 

1 Samuel 17:45-48 David replied to the Philistine, “You come to me with sword, spear, and javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies—the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. Today the Lord will conquer you, and I will kill you and cut off your head. And then I will give the dead bodies of your men to the birds and wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel! And everyone assembled here will know that the Lord rescues his people, but not with sword and spear. This is the Lord's battle, and he will give you to us.
After David boasted about his God to Goliath, he didn't sit back. 
1 Samuel 17:48 “As Goliath moved closer to attack, David quickly ran out to meet him” and God gave him victory.  Instead of merely sitting or standing back, run towards your goal or anything that's blocking your path. You should know that 'He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world' (1 John 4:4), and with Him, you can do all things.

THE END MAY COME SUDDENLY

  Bodija, Ibadan, Oyo state, Nigeria experienced a sudden explosion that caused some people to lose their lives unprepared. According to the Scripture, Christ will come back without any prior notice, just like a thief in the night. You might be pondering that it's been a long time since people talked about His second coming, but He hasn't made an appearance yet. In the event of your sudden death, do you have a chance of eternity in heaven? Can you boast that your final destination won't be a place of torment? Jesus came into this world to give you life and make it more abundant (John 10:10). God sent Him to make it possible for anyone who believes in Him to have eternal life (John 3:16). Nothing you acquire in this world can compare to the eternity in heaven. What's the benefit of gaining the whole world but losing your soul? (Mark 8:36).  Don't be caught napping. Accept Christ as your Lord and Savior today and secure your eternal home.

ASK

Then the leaders of the tribe of Levi came to consult with Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the leaders of the other tribes of Israel. They came to them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan and said, “The lord commanded Moses to give us towns to live in and pasturelands for our livestock.” So by the command of the lord the people of Israel gave the Levites the following towns and pasturelands out of their own grants of land. (Joshua 21:1-3)  Despite the Lord's command that lands should be given to the tribe of Levy, they have the responsibility of asking again and reminding the leaders of what God had instructed. God made many promises to us, but we need to ask and remind Him of them. You should realize that God never forgets, asking indicates our trust in Him and His ability to fulfill His promises.  The last verse of the chapter says ‘Not a single one of all the good promises the Lord had given to the family of Israel was left unfulfilled; everything he had spoken came true’

FREE INDEED

 Upon arrival at the site, I noticed a dove tied down by one of my employees. When I requested its release, he stated his intention to sell it. After asking for the price, he informed me, and I asked him to release the bird, which he did, and then I paid for it.  The Scripture says “When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners.” Romans 5:6. By paying the price with his precious blood, Jesus Christ made it possible for us to be set free and welcome into God's family. Ephesians 1:5 “God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure.”  Our new status as His slaves necessitates us to do His pleasure and avoid taking things for granted. Romans 6:22 say “But now you are free from the power of sin and have become slaves of God. Now you do those things that lead to holiness and result in eternal life”.  We are free from condemnation
