Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord

There is trouble on every side, and sometimes you feel like running away and hiding. There's this song I love that says:

"There's trouble on every side, so I guess you want to run and hide. Your enemy is out for you, and you don't know why."

As a teenager, I sang those lyrics because they sounded nice. However, as I grew older, I began to understand them better. There are moments in life when the weight of challenges and troubles makes you want to run and hide. But how long can you keep running? The challenges of life do not operate on a timetable. If you run today, when will you return and run again?

When we look at the story of the Isrealites, we realise that they had been in bondage in Egypt for 430 years, waiting for deliverance. Then God brought as a deliverer and Moses came with God's message, many of them struggled to believe. They had become so accustomed to slavery that freedom seemed impossible. Looking at the Egyptians, they could not imagine a way of escape. Bondage had become their normal.

Yet God sent Moses with a word of hope and a message of God for Pharaoh. When they finally left and got to the red sea there were unable to cross because it was a sea and they were men not fishes, forgetting that God who had asked them to go through that route is willing to create a road and they said, you should have left as slaves, Moses response was thus.

Exodus 14:13-"And Moses said to the people, 'Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever

The Egyptian can be your troubled marriage.

 It can be your child.

It can be that job your are seeking.

it can be the breakthrough.

It can be any set back you are facing now.

But beloved I want to let you know that there is nothing too hard for God to do, tarry in prayer, do not back down for the Egyptians you see today you shall see them no more.

Do not normalise what God has paid the price for, rise up and take that posture of Surrender and ask him for a change, standing on his word.

Choosing life Again

The blessings of the Lord are without repentance. When God wanted to establish a covenant of blessing, He swore by Himself because there was no one greater by whom He could swear. This shows that our blessings are rooted in God’s covenant and His unfailing promise.

Hebrews 6:13–15 says:

“For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself, saying, ‘Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.’ And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.”

There are protocols to walking in the blessing of God. What God blesses is the work of your hands, therefore you must not remain idle while seeking His blessing. Get busy doing the right and appropriate things according to His will.

Many times, we become bound by the enemy because of ignorance concerning the covenant God made with our fathers. As a result, many believers live limited lives. Often, we choose the easy way of doing things, believing that if God is involved, everything should come easily without process, discipline, endurance, or obedience.

Because of ignorance, many make decisions that lead them into bondage, seeking after blessings that the enemy offers, blessings that ultimately lead to destruction and death. The broad way may appear attractive and easy, but destruction is at the end of it.

The Lord is once again calling us to choose life. Narrow is the way that leads to life, peace, and true fulfillment. Jesus said, “My peace I give unto you, not as the world gives.” which means there is a kind of peace tgat the world gives, but He said His peace surpasses all understanding and cannot be found in the temporary pleasures or shortcuts of the world.

Today, I want to remind you to choose life.

Choose obedience.

Choose truth.

Choose diligence.

Choose the narrow path that leads to everlasting life.

"Complete People Need God Too"

The illusion the enemy creates is that only broken people need Jesus.

“Why do I need God if I already have everything I need? I have a great job, my business is doing well, and everything seems to fit perfectly into the picture of a good life.”

Over and over again, the enemy writes letters of deception to our hearts, making us believe that God is only necessary when we have visible needs. But what if God is more than just the needs He meets?

He is not just a Provider.

He is not just a Protector.

God is the whole puzzle. He is the King over it all, orchestrating the entire game. Even the enemy, who thinks he is in control, is still under God’s authority.

Sometimes, because things work out for us, we place God aside. We seek protection only in danger, call on Him only in crisis, and move on once life feels stable again.

But if we are truly complete, why do we keep searching for the next thing?

The next craving.

The next satisfaction.

The next achievement.

Maybe it is not marriage, success, money, or status that completes us. Maybe there is a deeper longing within us — a hunger only the Creator can satisfy. The One who formed us understands the emptiness we try to fill.

Can the created truly say to its Creator, “I have no need of You,” simply because life feels okay for a moment?

And for those who think they do not need God, that is often the greatest proof that they do.

God still says, “I know you need Me.”

He says: 

Revelation 3:17 (ESV)

“For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.”

The fact that you think you don’t need Him may be the very reason you need Him most.

When we define completeness through the lens of worldly standards and temporary fulfillment, we begin to ask, “Who is this God?”

But God has always answered humanity’s questions with an invitation:

“Come.”

Come all.

No restrictions.

No qualifications.

Every time God calls, His invitation is for everyone even those who do not yet understand what the invitation truly means.

The Man called Jesus of Nazareth

What do you define purity to be?

How can one truly be declared holy except he has encountered and lived for the Man called Jesus?

The man Jesus is purity personified. As I studied the blood and the process of atonement in the Old Testament, I am amazed at how important holiness is to God. How He gave Moses detailed instructions on how Aaron was to come before Him and make atonement on the mercy seat. As I read, the only words that rise from my lips are: “What manner of God are You, O Lord?”

Yet even those processes of atonement cannot be compared to the perfect, complete, and once and for all atonement that the blood of Jesus accomplished on the cross.

1 Peter 1: 19 (but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect).

Have you met the Man Jesus?

The One who was selfless and willingly gave His life for you and me.

Have you met the Man Jesus, the One who, in pain, walked the journey to Golgotha to prove His love for humanity and give us freedom from the sentence that came through the fall of man?

There is no greater life than a life lived in the knowledge of Jesus of Nazareth. Behold, He comes with His reward in His hand, and He will give unto those who diligently seek Him.

Beloved, The seek ye command is not for one but for all so today “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.”

I want to remind you that Jesus is knocking at the door of your heart. His desire is to come into every molecule of your daily life and transform it, so today make a conscious effort towards seeking Him.

God bless you, and have a wonderful day.
