Spiritual Food - Encouraging MEDITATION - 22/01/16

Matthew 4:1-11
Jesus Is Tested in the Wilderness
4 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted[a] by the devil. 2 After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3 The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God,tell these stones to become bread.”
4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’[b]”
5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. 6 “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written:
“‘He will command his angels concerning you,
and they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’[c]”
7 Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’[d]”

MEDITATION
Jesus was fasting and was hungry and he was feeding on Spiritual food and very quickly the devil wanted him to get diverted so he gives him a quick idea, ‘turn these stones into bread’. But Jesus said, ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God’. Somewhere else in the scriptures Jesus told his disciples that He has food to eat that they do not know about. That means there must be a balance between Spiritual and physical food and one must not mix the two. That is why we see Jesus was fully man and yet without sin. Too much of the physical food or physical food taken at wrong time may damage the spiritual body.
Have you learnt to consume and digest the word of God to bring you satisfaction? Has there been a time when you are determined to fast and all of a sudden you hear about a party and then you choose to postpone the fast. Or if you plan to end your fast at a particular time and then you end it prematurely because something nice to eat has shown up? When we learn to digest the spiritual food to satisfaction the devil will not be able to rule our flesh and thus make it possible to live a sinless life.

In Christs service.

Deception - Encouraging MEDITATION - 21/01/16

Joshua 9:1-26
The Gibeonite Deception
But Joshua asked, “Who are you and where do you come from?”
9 They answered: “Your servants have come from a very distant country because of the fame of the LORD your God. …. ”’12 This bread of ours was warm when we packed it at home on the day we left to come to you. But now see how dry and moldy it is. 13 And these wineskins that we filled were new, but see how cracked they are. And our clothes and sandals are worn out by the very long journey.”
14 The Israelites sampled their provisions but did not inquire of the LORD. 15 Then Joshua made a treaty of peace with them to let them live, and the leaders of the assembly ratified it by oath.
16 Three days after they made the treaty with the Gibeonites, the Israelites heard that they were neighbors, living near them. 17 So the Israelites set out and on the third day came to their cities: Gibeon, Kephirah, Beeroth and Kiriath Jearim. 18 But the Israelites did not attack them, because the leaders of the assembly had sworn an oath to them by the LORD, the God of Israel.
The whole assembly grumbled against the leaders, 19 but all the leaders answered, “We have given them our oath by the LORD, the God of Israel, and we cannot touch them now.

MEDITATION
If your enemy can’t fight you this year, they are going to try to make friends with you. The devil is not stupid he will always find his way round if you are not vigilant. The Israelites did not inquire of the Lord before signing a treaty with the Gibeonites. They used their physical eyes to judge what they were being told. The treaty with the Gibeonites could not be reversed.
You need to have the spirit of discernment. Inquire of the Lord and he will tell you the truth about anything and anyone; about whom to marry, the friends to be with, whom to partner with in business and even whom to employ. Even your actions and decisions should be God led. You may say that I will drink a little after all it is non-alcoholic, or you say let me just watch the movie and will switch off when the bad part comes and then you get trapped in an addiction that you’ve been avoiding all these years. Be careful and be led by the Lord; It is not difficult. God speaks to you in a still small voice. Listen to that voice and be careful in all that you do because some things are irreversible.

There is Hope - Encouraging MEDITATION - 20/01/16

There is Hope
Job 6:1-30
6 Then Job replied:
2 “If only my anguish could be weighed
and all my misery be placed on the scales!
3 It would surely outweigh the sand of the seas—
no wonder my words have been impetuous.
4 The arrows of the Almighty are in me,
my spirit drinks in their poison;
God’s terrors are marshaled against me. …
… 11 “What strength do I have, that I should still hope?
What prospects, that I should be patient?
12 Do I have the strength of stone? Is my flesh bronze?
13 Do I have any power to help myself, now that success has been driven from me?
28 “But now be so kind as to look at me.
Would I lie to your face? 29 Relent, do not be unjust; reconsider, for my integrity is at stake.
30 Is there any wickedness on my lips?
Can my mouth not discern malice?

MEDITATION
Job was in too much pain and had too much anguish; he almost wanted God to take his life. He had wounds and worms all over his body. You may not have worms on your body but you might at times feel like worms are moving about in your head. There are issues that strike and make one feel like ‘this is it; I’ve had enough!’ but I just want to encourage you today that no condition is permanent. Even happiness is not guaranteed to last forever. But the only assurance you have is that for as long as you have Jesus you will always pull through. Jesus said, ‘in this world you will have many troubles but I have overcome the world’. There are other religions that give an option of committing su***de if things are bad but as for you for as long as you are living on planet earth and you have Jesus in your heart there is nothing that should overcome you. Even the biggest problem will come to an end, hold on; stay right there, help is coming your way

Faith - Encouraging MEDITATION - 19/01/16

Romans 4:1-26
Abraham Justified by Faith
4 What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, discovered in this matter? 2 If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about—but not before God. 3 What does Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
18 Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” 19 Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah’s womb was also dead. 20 Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, 21 being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. 22 This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.” 23 The words “it was credited to him” were written not for him alone, 24 but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness—for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. 25 He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.

MEDITATION
Abraham believed and it was credited to him as righteousness, this was before he was circumcised. It was his faith in what he couldn’t see that was the righteousness but not the action. Abraham was persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. We are spirit beings and live in a body. We are not meant to live by what our bodies deceive us but we are supposed to live by faith through the word of God. We need, like Abraham, not to waver though unbelief regarding the promise of God. God acts upon His word not our feelings or thoughts.
What do you confess daily? Do you confess the word of God and what does the word of God say about you? He says you are healed, you are whole, you are rich and prosperous, that He has good plans for you, that in all things he works for good. Do not ever believe in what your five senses deceive you. What your eyes see or what your ears hear is not the final outcome. The truth is what the Bible says. For we surely walk by faith and not by sight. And when we confess this truth, the Spirit of God will work it out and it will come to pass.

A faithful walk with God - Encouraging MEDITATION - 18/01/16

Genesis 5:18-32
From Adam to Noah
5 This is the written account of Adam’s family line. …
18 When Jared had lived 162 years, he became the father of Enoch. 19 After he became the father of Enoch, Jared lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. 20 Altogether, Jared lived a total of 962 years, and then he died.
21 When Enoch had lived 65 years, he became the father of Methuselah. 22 After he became the father of Methuselah, Enoch walked faithfully with God 300 years and had other sons and daughters.23 Altogether, Enoch lived a total of 365 years. 24 Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.
25 When Methuselah had lived 187 years, he became the father of Lamech.
28 When Lamech had lived 182 years, he had a son. 29 He named him Noah[
32 After Noah was 500 years old, he became the father of Shem, Ham and Japheth.

MEDITATION
Enoch walked faithfully with God and then he was no more. He was one of the few people in the bible who did not face death. It is very wonderful to be appreciated by God to the extent that you do not even have to die! What does it take to live such a kind of life in a perverse generation? We might assume that during that time there was no sin but it was surely there that is why when Noah was born his parents gave him that name to mean ‘He will comfort us in the labour and painful toil of our hands caused by the ground the Lord has cursed’. They were during a time when they expected some relief from what they were facing but Enoch was faithful. But what does it really take to be faithful in a perverse generation? It takes having a steadfast heart and determination. You might think it is hard to live right but I encourage you today saying that it is possible. Whatever you are struggling with you can overcome it. If Enoch did it even before Christ shed his blood on the cross, you can do it too. The fastest ticket to hell is ‘everyone is doing it’. Be determined not to do what everyone is doing and choose to live right. Make this year as sin free year.

Hedge of protection - Encouraging MEDITATION -14/01/16

Hedge of protection for this year
Job 1:1-12
Prologue
1 In the land of Uz there lived a man whose name was Job. This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil. 2 He had seven sons and three daughters, 3 and he owned seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen and five hundred donkeys, and had a large number of servants. He was the greatest man among all the people of the East.
4 His sons used to hold feasts in their homes on their birthdays, and they would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them. 5 When a period of feasting had run its course, Job would make arrangements for them to be purified. Early in the morning he would sacrifice a burnt offering for each of them, thinking, “Perhaps my children have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” This was Job’s regular custom.
6 One day the angels came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan[b] also came with them.7 The LORD said to Satan, “Where have you come from?”
Satan answered the LORD, “From roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth on it.”
8 Then the LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil.”
9 “Does Job fear God for nothing?” Satan replied. 10 “Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything he has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land. 11 But now stretch out your hand and strike everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face.”
12 The LORD said to Satan, “Very well, then, everything he has is in your power, but on the man himself do not lay a finger.”

MEDITATION
Yesterday I received a wonderful revelation about Job and his family. Job was a righteous man and he always prayed to purify and cleanse his family. It was his prayers that kept a hedge around them that they remained prosperous and protected. The moment that hedge was removed all were destroyed and none remained at all even their property was destroyed. Actually God told satan that; ‘on the man himself don’t lay a finger’. Jobs wife said curse God and die, which showed that she also had not known the goodness of the Lord yet she lived with this very righteous man.
Dear Christian, you are saved and being good disciple but are you taking with you the people who are close to you on this journey? In case you were to leave this earth are you sure your children or siblings will make it spiritually? Job had to do it all over again because he had not done it well the first time. I believe the second set of children he got were well discipled but you may not have a second chance.
You might be struggling on your spiritual journey because the people who would have been propelling you along are pulling you back because you do not teach them. Your children, your brothers and sisters, your spouse will not learn to pray automatically; tech them. Have prayer altars in your home, hold family prayer events and then storm this year with success.

Be Courageous - Encouraging MEDITATION - 13/01/16

Joshua 1:1-10
Joshua Installed as Leader
1 After the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, the LORD said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ aide:2 “Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them—to the Israelites. 3 I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses …I will never leave you nor forsake you. 6 Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them.
7 “Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. 8 Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”

MEDITATION
Joshua may have felt a little helpless when Moses died. He had already witnessed how stubborn the people were and by the time God told him be strong, God knew what was in his heart. Maybe you are looking at this New Year as one that you really want good things to happen, but due to past experiences you have ended previous years with more losses and disappointments. This year God is saying be strong! What you want to take over has occupants already in it but you can’t get it unless you are first strong in the spirit. The land you want to buy has an occupant, the promotion you want to get has someone already in that position, even the person you want to marry has something occupying their time that is why they have not made their decision to marry you yet. God says He will never leave you nor forsake you. The major secret is keep glued to his word; the bible and never divert from it. It will actually aid you to be strong and courageous then you will inherit what God has for you.
This year I dare you to take a courageous move; Attempt to do what you have only been dreaming to do; go visit that land that you want to buy; go to the bond and try out your dream car; If you can’t fast try out one day without food; If you fear darkness just boldly walk through it. Just be strong and courageous.

A worry free year - Encouraging MEDITATION -12/01/16

Psalm 3:1-8
A psalm of David. When he fled from his son Absalom.
1 LORD, how many are my foes!
How many rise up against me!
2 Many are saying of me, “God will not deliver him.”
3 But you, LORD, are a shield around me,
my glory, the One who lifts my head high.
4 I call out to the LORD,
and he answers me from his holy mountain.
5 I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the LORD sustains me.
6 I will not fear though tens of thousands
assail me on every side.
7 Arise, LORD! Deliver me, my God!
Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked.
8 From the LORD comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people.

MEDITATION
Is there something that troubles your mind and keeps you awake. Even when you don’t want to think about it you just find your mind drifted and thinking about the same trying to devise solutions and you then realize that a huge chuck of your time has been spent on just that. It could be a wayward child, it could be a relationship gone bad or it could be a troublesome housemaid or even just a financial situation or thoughts about what the future holds for you. When Christ died on the cross he carried all our burdens and now we have the Holy Spirit as our counselor He is not just a helpless being but has great power more than you could imagine. His power was there right from the beginning at the time of creation. As he was hovering over the surface of the earth, the command came Let there be… and there was; then by his power the whole world was created. He is the power that parted the red sea and the Israelites passed. He is the power behind the healing and resurrection that took place in the bible. This awesome and incredible power is with us today and lives in you. Whatever it is that you are facing; say it right now: “Holy Spirit take control” and keep saying that whenever you feel your mind drifting to worry. Very soon you will discover that you can work along with God for your victory because worry drives his presence away.

Your testimony - AMAZING MEDITATION - 02/12/15

Revelation 12:7-12
The Woman and the Dragon
7 Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. 8 But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. 9 The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.
10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say:
“Now have come the salvation and the power
and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Messiah.
For the accuser of our brothers and sisters,
who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.
11 They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb
and by the word of their testimony;
they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.
12 Therefore rejoice, you heavens and you who dwell in them!
But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you!
He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short.”

MEDITATION
Your testimony is your story of triumph! God has led you through many things and you have emerged successfully. In this world there are people who are just about to enter into a problem, others who are in the problem and others who have successfully gone through the same problem, problems exist and are part of us. It is the work of the devil to make someone depressed and lose hope when they are in a problem and they sometimes even die in despair but to God it is an opportunity for you to grow. No one can grow and be strong without problems to propel and push them forward. If you have emerged successfully your story gives another person hope. In this chapter of Revelation, when the serpent was hurled to the earth and his angels with them, the voice said that they triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony. Are you using your testimony to trample the enemy? Do not keep quiet, tell your story!

In Christ's service

Intimidation? - AMAZING MEDITATION - 01/12/15

Nehemiah 6:1-16
Further Opposition to the Rebuilding
6 When word came to Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem the Arab and the rest of our enemies that I had rebuilt the wall and not a gap was left in it—though up to that time I had not set the doors in the gates— 2 Sanballat and Geshem sent me this message: “Come, let us meet together in one of the villages[a]on the plain of Ono.”
But they were scheming to harm me; ….
3 so I sent messengers to them with this reply: “I am carrying on a great project and cannot go down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and go down to you?”4 Four times they sent me the same message, and each time I gave them the same answer.
5 Then, the fifth time, Sanballat sent his aide to me with the same message, and in his hand was an unsealed letter 6 in which was written: …...
8 I sent him this reply: “Nothing like what you are saying is happening; you are just making it up out of your head.”
9 They were all trying to frighten us, thinking, “Their hands will get too weak for the work, and it will not be completed.”
But I prayed, “Now strengthen my hands.”
10 One day I went to the house of Shemaiah son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabel, who was shut in at his home. He said, “Let us meet in the house of God, inside the temple, and let us close the temple doors, because men are coming to kill you—by night they are coming to kill you.”
11 But I said, “Should a man like me run away? Or should someone like me go into the temple to save his life? I will not go!” 12 I realized that God had not sent him, but that he had prophesied against mebecause Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him. 13 He had been hired to intimidate me so that I would commit a sin by doing this, and then they would give me a bad name to discredit me. … 15 So the wall was completed on the twenty-fifth of Elul, in fifty-two days.

MEDITATION
Nehemiah continued with rebuilding the wall but Sanballat and Tobiah were very angry that they had not managed to stop him so they chose to intimidate him. But what really angered them most was that the wall had been rebuilt without a gap in it.
Accepting intimidation is sin. God wants us to trust him and listen to him for direction. The enemy will not stop opposing your spiritual growth; if he can’t stop you he will accuse you, if you are not threated by accusation then he will intimidate you. You need to fight all the way up. When you are building your life do not leave a gap, the gaps in life include compromise, half-truths, bitterness, forgiveness, lust etc. When you close all the gaps this will anger the enemy more but it is the only way that you can build a successful life where the schemes of the enemy will be futile.

In Christs service,

Grace
