DO NOT DESPISE



                 DO NOT DESPISE FOR A GREATER GLORY
       Hello  sons and daughters in the Lord. It is always a great pleasure  to help minister to you little truths concerning our lives and our walk with God. I thank God for the inspiration in helping me to put down these few words. Once again, I greet you in the name of our lord Jesus Christ the son of glory who keeps interceding for you and I every now then. I want to share with you a message I have titled ‘do not despise for a greater glory’.

        Our reflection is taken from 2samuel 1:19-20 (NIV). ‘A gazelle lies slain on your heights Israel. How the mighty have fallen! Tell it not in Gath, proclaim it not in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines be glad, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised rejoice. Amen.

     Beloved, this was how David eulogies King Saul (believed to be an enemy) and his son Jonathan after they fell and died in battle. Sons and daughters in the Lord it is uncommon to see such loyalty and love David showed to Saul who was even threatening to kill him. For some of us, if we were David we would have rejoiced and make merry because of the favours, wealth and honour we will receive. Those of us who every now and then do not have a stable mind and a good heart in joining  a church or a fellowship but keep moving from one church to the other always despise the churches they have ever attended. They criticise the pastors, structure of the building and everything they see. My friends this is a bad practice so we have to stop. But you are at liberty to go to other churches when you are invited but do not criticise.

      I once met a friend at camp meeting and as it has been my nature and custom, I inquired from him the churches he has ever attended and other stuffs. I was left dumbfounded to hear this young boy condemning the church he used to be and also comparing it with his ‘new’ church. I gave a feint smile because I once belonged to one of the churches he was condemning. Who are we to Judge. God save us  and draw us to yourself like never before because we are wondering like Fulani cow with the hope of discovering your true worship someday. Well you might be an Anglican, a Catholic, a Pentecostal, a Methodist and whatever denomination. It is never wrong to leave a church to another  but it depends on your motives. Whenever you leave a church, your employer, parents, etc. and you are independent do not be saying bad things about them, just be quiet and do what may please you but if you condemn them,  there ill repercussions that will follow you. Be careful with your mouth and remember to honour people who have once helped you. Desist from betraying and despising people. Let us be loyal and commit ourselves to full trust serving in the vineyard of God. Its still all about Christ.

   COMPLACENCY; THE CAUSE OF POOR CHURCH GROWTH AND CHRISTIAN LIFE.       Hello, lovely sons and daughters in the Lord. It is with great joy and privilege to minister unto you God's word. I want to encourage you to keep strengthening  yourself in the lord in all circumstances and He will answer you. Beloved in the lord, on this glorious day, I want to share with you a message which will awaken you and I from our slumber.       Numbers 31:49. 'and they said to Moses,' Your servants have taken a count of the men of war who are under our command, and not a man of us is missing.       Isaiah 40:26. Lift up your eyes on high and see who has created these things, who brings out their host,He calls them all by name,By the greatness of His might and  the strength of His power;not one is missing.         I present this piece by personal experience and observation. Some few weeks ago, I decided t...

                                              OIL FOR GREATER WORKS           Beloved  in the lord, it is with great honor and privilege to minister unto you God's word. Our reflection is taken from 1 Samuel 16;1-13. It is my prayer this day that the oil of grace will locate you after reading this little piece in the name of Jesus Christ.           When I reflect on how King David was anointed,it gives me hope and the greatest conviction that once I have the lord as my anchor, He will see me through because He is faithful.  King David was a young shepherd boy who was in the wilderness with His father's sheep. He was with the sheep in the wilderness until he was called to be anointed in the midst of his brethren. Beloved, this then affirms that. you can be in the worst place of life and still have the Lord on you...
