ARTICLE: WHERE ARE YOU?

"Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him "Where are you? "

                                                                                                                          - Genesis. 3:9        

A popular law in Physics states that "a body will remain in its present state of rest or uniform motion until it is acted upon by an external force." This means that an object will remain as it is unless something else affects it. God is a God of progress and growth. This explains why He was able to create the whole world in just seven days without having to carry one day's work over to another. He kept moving from one phase of creation to another and didn't stop to rest until all was completed.

     The question "where are you? " is a question of purpose. When Adam and Eve sinned against God in the garden and went to sew fig leaves to cover themselves, God visited as usual and asked them that question. You should take note that we serve an all-knowing God, which means the question was not asked out of ignorance. When a fellow man asks you such, you can sure that he/she is short of information and sincerely wants to know, but God can never be ignorant. God, who is all-seeing and all-knowing already knew Adam and Eve had disobeyed. Yet, He still chose to come down in the cool of the evening and fellowship with them, asking that same question of purpose. To every reader or listener of this piece God knows your present state and isn't angry with you. He's only angry at your sins. He is ever ready to pick you up and clean you up from your mess when you recognize and surrender to Him as your Lord and saviour.

"Come now and let us reason together, says the Lord. Though your sins are like Scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they are red as crimson, they shall be as wool.
                                                                                                                          -Isaiah. 1:18

Man will always seek self defence and exoneration, which explains why Adam passed the blame to Eve and Eve to the serpent. They knew they had sinned and disobeyed God, but we're not ready to own up, be responsible and ask for mercy. This was probably the reason For meted out adequate punishment to each of them-Adam, Eve and the serpent.
Irrespective of who you are or what you may be doing with yourself, God is asking you that same question of purpose today, "where are you? ". Are you gonna hide and cover yourself with fig leaves of self defense or own up and surrender to God? Some people  have very justifiable reasons for committing sin. Some even turn back at His and blame Him for putting them in compromising positions, where there's no other option but to sin. The Bible in 1Corinthians. 10:13 says:

"No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man, but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it".

There will always be a godly way to go about every situation. God has a counsel concerning every issue of life. You just have to get familiar with His word and hear what He's saying. The sinful life is a nature we inherited from Adam and as such, runs deep. This is why we constantly need the help of the Holyspirit to put us in order. God died for us while we were yet sinners, so He knows our state of imperfect. The question is "are you ready to let God help you move forward or you still want to  keep hiding and looking for justification under trees of ignorance and self defense.
Let God help you move forward.

DEVOTIONAL: NOT IMPOSSIBLE

Bible Reading: Numbers.14:6-9


One thing I have always told my children that every Christian should never forget is the fact that the Christian life is not an ordinary life, but a supernatural one. It is something superior to the ordinary natural existence. It supersedes the natural so much that it compels things to be done that would not ordinarily be done.  The supernatural can cause events contrary to natural laws to take place. Anyone operating in the realm of the supernatural therefore does what everyone else terms "impossible". It takes supernatural powers to reverse the irreversible. It also takes this power that is beyond human ability to move the immovable. This is also the kind of power that is required to win your nation for Jesus. This year, whatever is irreversible in your life will be reversed, and whatever has been immovable will be moved in your favour in Jesus name .

When you are operating in the realm of the supernatural, you face situations with the understanding that with God, nothing shall be impossible. What is that physical challenge you're having in your body? By the power of God it shall be resolved today. This year,  what everyone had deemed impossible will be possible for you. By the power of these most high, what you found most impossible to accomplish will become possible. Every chain of impossibility nagging around that situation is broken now in Jesus name. Possibilities will be your experience from now.

When some people meet with difficulties in a particular business, they abandon it for another. This may not necessarily be the best thing to do. Even when it appears hopeless, just hold on to God's word concerning the situation, obey and wait for result. To solve a particular problem or challenge, it is not necessarily the number of attempts made that matters, but who is aiding your attempts. Peter had tried so many times without a catch that night, but the only attempt he made that the backing of the Lord delivered to him a harvest beyond expectations. The major challenge which believers going through the path of hopelessness face is that, unlike Peter they lack a word from God in respect to their situations. When there is nothing from God in an issue, the state of hopelessness will be worse. But if God has spoken a word on the matter, the case is as good as closed in your favour. Are you in a hopeless situation?  Take time to read and study the Bible,asking God to give you a word for that situation. God always has something to say about your situation, but are you ready to hear it?  God is assuring you, it is not impossible. As you return to that abandoned project or failed business ,every impossibility shall become possible in the name of Jesus.

Why do you fear, why do you fear why do you care?
I told you cast your cares on me
I showed you you could count on me,
Yea I was there when you walk through the waters and fire who kept you, who kept you and picked u up every time that you felt life kicked you off
O boy I can set you up, your unbelief sounds so ridiculous
I can set you up amongst things set you up amongst kings if you only believe

Chorus:
Sometimes e get as e be mehnn
Sometimes e get as e dey
But omo no dey complain jes count your blessings you go feel OK.

DEVOTIONAL: CONSISTENT CHRISTIAN?

Bible reading: Revelation. 22:11-14

At the beginning of his ministry, Paul took a ride in a basket as he escaped for his life in Damascus(2Corinthians.11:32-33). But there God who delivered him from the garrison at Damascus allowed him to end up in jail at Phillipi(Acts.16). Because God answered a particular prayer yesterday does not mean he would repeat another answer in exactly the same manner.

In Acts.16:25, Paul conducted a worship service in the prison right in the midst of chains and bonds. He never complained. Paul learnt to praise God in whatever circumstances he found himself. Not many people can praise God when sent into prison for the sake of the gospel. He was prepared to undertake the worst of sufferings for the kingdom of God(Phillipians.1:20-21). He was not ashamed.  Are you ashamed to suffer minor ridicule, persecutions, denials, beatings for His name today? Paul could day we should become a living sacrifice because he was one.

In African traditional religion, when a bird or animal is brought as a sacrifice to an idol, the giver forfeits his right to that animal. It becomes the property of the idol for the rest of its life. Whether it lives or dies or is given to someone is at the discretion of the idol. That living sacrifice may be fed so well in one moment and killed the next minute. This explains the term living sacrifice. You should be so yielded to God to the extent of delivering to Him the greatest pleasure in whatever you do. If dying for the gospel will give Him that height of pleasure, you should be prepared to die like Stephen. The preparedness of Daniel to go into the Lion's den demonstrated that he was a living sacrifice. But in the end, instead if death, his faith compelled a decree to fear Daniel's God. If my death can produce a United Nations decree compelling all nations of the world to worship no other God other than my God - the true and living God, I will gladly be on my way to heaven. Are you a living sacrifice? And to what extent?

ARTICLE: NOW'S THE TIME FOR WORK

"Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, before the difficult days come, and the years draw by when you say "I have no pleasure in them".
                                                                                                                               Ecclesiastes. 12:1

The youthful stage of life is the best time to serve God and get the best from the Word of life. The Bible in Matthew. 7:24 says:

Therefore whoever hears this sayings of mine and does them, I will like him to a wise man who built his house on the Rock."

    The solid foundation that Jesus talked about in the above scripture is built in the youthful stage. Life has its own way of bringing certain difficulties our way. Your survival during these times is dependent on how much of God's word you have stored up inside of you since the time of your youth. Everything that a man has, his time, his strength, his resources should be used to serve God. The Bible records that the glory of the youth is in their strength. This means that a man can never post of a better period of great physical strength throughout his lifetime other than during the youthful days. Just a labourer requires great strength to dig deep into the ground for a very solid foundation for a mighty building, so is great strength required to build a solid spiritual foundation that will stand the test of time when trials and tribulations arise later in life.

As a young person, what can you say about your identity in God? What exactly is God saying about your life? How much of the Word of God do you have in you? People frequently make statements like "...life is not a bed of roses", "...if wishes were horses","...all that glitters is not gold". All these axioms depict the inevitability of hardships and trials in life. So I am not being pessimistic when I talk about preparing for hurdles in life. For a believer who is heaven minded, the preparation should be more. If we waste our time during the youthful days of glory, then we will have little or nothing to still The storms of life when it arises. That the challenges of life will arise is certain but are you well kitted with the armour of God?

DEVOTIONAL: WHAT MUST I DO TO RECEIVE FROM GOD

BIble reading: Mark. 11:22-26


Children of God looking into Him for blessings should learn that God has provided the means of receiving abundant blessings from Him. God has also established a few laws  principles, rules and regulations to govern the process. For anyone to receive anything from God, the fellow must at least have a relationship with Him and must have faith in His love, mercy and power to do whatever he is hoping to get from Him.

We must be connected to God abide in Him before we can receive from Him. Wisdom for financial breakthrough teaches that although His gives seed to the sower, He also expects the sower to sow and not eat the seed.

"Now he that ministers seed to the sower also ministers bread for your food,and multiply your seed sown, and also increase the fruits of your righteousness".2Corinthians. 9:10

You must realize that there is no child of God without a seed. Now you may say "I have no money and therefore I have nothing to sow. You are wrong. If you have no money, you can have something more valuable than money. Look into your hearts, hands,intellect, talent, time, what you have in your house, your academic training, your mouth to preach an win souls, etc. There is no-one without a seed. When God provides you with a financial blessing say your wage, salary, income or profit from a business. That provision has a seed in it. If you spend everything, you will harm yourself. The book of John. 12:24 says:

"Except a corn of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it abideth alone,but when it dies, it bears much fruits".

That financial provision, salty, wage or profit increase is some kind of harvest. God expects that the harvest you take today will give you a larger harvest tomorrow. When you receive your harvest, pay your tithes, sow your seeds and spend the rest. The seed you sow in the process of time will multiply and fetch you bread. If you don't sow your seeds, they remain alone but if you do, you give them an opportunity to "thank you for parting with us". They will give you a harvest that will yet give you more seeds to sow. You can decide to keep your corn with you, eat it and starve afterwards or sow it and expect a harvest. Many believers today are poor because if greed, gluttony, impatience, ignorance and lack of faith made them eat their seeds along with their bread.
Now you know better. Simply obey and begin to enjoy increase on all sides. As you begin to follow divine principles today, you will witness an extraordinary supply of His favour and blessings in Jesus name.
