Meet Lord

For GOD no one is ordinary, he took time to make each one of us, so we are extraordinary. The world might call us Ordinary....or having a label of the ordinary that what opens a way for GOD to pick one of us and bring out something extraordinary. God uses ordinary people ‘Remember…few of you were wise in the world’s eyes…when God called you.’ 1 Corinthians 1:26 NLT Max Lucado writes: ‘Edith Hayes was a spry eighty-year-old with thinning white hair, a wiry five-foot frame, and an unquenchable compassion for South Florida’s cancer patients. I was fresh out of seminary in 1979 and sitting in an office of unpacked boxes when she walked in and introduced herself. “My name is Edith, and I help cancer patients.” She extended her hand. I offered a chair. She politely declined. “Too busy. You’ll see my team here at the church building every Tuesday morning. You’re welcome to come, but if you do we’ll put you to wor

As the word of GOD says,  GOD has not given us the spirit of fear but the spirit of Love, Power, and Self disciple. GOD is always mindful of us becoZ He always loves us. The importance of self-discipline ‘Learn to sense what is vital…and of real value.’ Philippians 1:10  To achieve greater self-discipline, you should:  1) Start your day by doing the hard things first.  And when you get sidetracked, make yourself go back and complete them. For example, make your bed, pick up your clothes, and wash the dishes; don’t make extra work for others. And don’t start several projects at once; the feeling of ‘getting something done’ will help you grow in self-respect and self-discipline.  2) Make a commitment to be punctual. Tardiness is a hard habit to break. To conquer it you must be willing to call it what it often is – inconsiderate, selfish behaviour.  3) Plan ahead.  Everything takes longer than you think, so don’t wait un

God wants you to ask Him for great things https://meetlord.blogspot.com/2019/07/god-wants-you-to-ask-him-for-great.html Please read the above by clicking the above link before reading this: ‘So God granted him what he requested.’ 1 Chronicles 4:10 NKJV When Jabez prayed, ‘Enlarge my territory,’ he was saying, ‘Lord, I want more than I’ve got, and I’m asking You for it!’ This man had great ambitions, and God blessed them. There are three common misconceptions that can keep us from having great ambitions:  1) We confuse fear with humility. We say, ‘Oh, I could never do that,’ and think we’re being humble. But that’s not humility. That’s fear; that’s lack of faith. A truly humble person would say, ‘With God’s help I can do it. With God’s blessing I will do it. I may not be able to do it on my own, but with God’s help I can.’ That’s real humility.  2) We tend to confuse laziness with contentment. We quote Paul: ‘I have learned to be content whatever the c

World saying goes like this "Try to manage in what you have and not think big", But what our GOD says " He wants you to stretch out, remove ur limitation and ask GOD for great things. God wants you to ask Him for great things ‘And Jabez called on the God of Israel.’ 1 Chronicles 4:10 NKJV In the book of First Chronicles the Bible tells us about a man named Jabez. The first nine chapters consist of genealogies, listing more than six hundred names. And right there in the middle of all those names, God singles out one man for special recognition, and his name is Jabez. There are only two verses in the entire Bible about this man, yet he’s given honourable mention above the six hundred other people mentioned in the chapter. Why did God single him out? What did Jabez do that caused his name to be preserved for over four thousand years? What made him above average?  ‘Now Jabez was more honourable than his brothers’ (v. 9 NKJ

‘I catch no glimpse of him.’ Job 23:9 NIV Sometimes you will not sense God’s presence. Those are difficult times. In the midst of trouble, Job said, ‘If I go to the east, he is not there; if I go to the west, I do not find him. When he is at work in the north, I do not see him; when he turns to the south, I catch no glimpse of him. Job felt far from God. Yet in spite of his inability to feel God, he resolved, ‘He knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I shall come forth as gold Difficult days demand decisions of faith. David said, ‘When I am afraid, I put my trust in you’ Psalm 56:3 When you can’t understand the ways of God, trust in the unchanging and loving character of God. Go through your Bible and make a list of the character qualities of God, and keep them on hand for tough days. One author writes: ‘My list reads like this: “He is still sovereign. He still knows my name. Angels still respond to His call. The hearts

It’s worthwhile good to know what you have so as to live on the top of your personality. As children of God, this fact should always be settled inside of us. The fact that we have an advocate, Jesus Christ, with the father (God) in heaven. An advocate is one who stand in the gap for one, argues to receive a favourable judgement. In a short word, an advocate is one who argues your course with the one who has the power over your life. This advocate never condemns you, he appeal through the right deeds you have done and gives you advice and instructions on the pattern of behavior and attitudes that won’t set you against the favour of the one who holds the power over your life.    My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 1John 1:2 Jesus is not in heaven now having fun, he is there as an advocate at the right hand of the father on our behalf, till his ene

Leviticus 15:19-23 'When a woman has a discharge, if her discharge in her body is blood, she shall continue in her menstrual impurity for seven days; and whoever touches her shall be unclean until evening. 'Everything also on which she lies during her menstrual impurity shall be unclean, and everything on which she sits shall be unclean. 'Anyone who touches her bed shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening. Leviticus 12:1-5 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, "Speak to the sons of Israel, saying: 'When a woman gives birth and bears a male child, then she shall be unclean for seven days, as in the days of her menstruation she shall be unclean. 'On the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.  'Then she shall remain in the blood of her purification for thirty-three days; she shall not touch any consecrated thing, nor enter the sanctuary until the days of her purification are completed. 'But if s

1 Samuel 2:12-36 Eli was a priest and judge in Israel during the time of Samuel's birth. This means that he served toward the end of the period of the judges and before Israel had her first human king. He served in the tabernacle at Shiloh. The temple had not yet been built at Jerusalem. The sons of Eli were corrupt and estranged from God. Eli spoke to his sons, and reprimanded them. However, they ignored their father and continued in their rebellion and Eli never took further steps to correct the situation. As a result, God was not pleased, either with the sons behavior nor with Eli's failure to adequately correct them. Though God had blessed Eli's house, He was going to withdraw His honor of them (1 Samuel 2:30). Profane and Irreverent Sacrifice The tabernacle of the Lord was in Shiloh. Eli and his sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were priests of the Lord there (1 Samuel 1:3,9). The Bible describes the corruption of Eli's sons to be so complete that &q

GOD's has appointed a time for everything, Trust HIM. ‘AND HAS DETERMINED THEIR PREAPPOINTED TIMES AND THE BOUNDARIES OF THEIR DWELLINGS, SO THAT THEY SHOULD SEEK THE LORD.’ Acts 17:26-27 NKJV Let’s look at three phrases in this Scripture:  1) ‘And has determined their preappointed times.’ Your parents may not have wanted you, but God did. He scheduled the moment of your birth, has a purpose for your life, and you are constantly on His mind. If that sounds too good to be true, read on: ‘You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. How precious are your thoughts about me, O God’ (Psalm 139:16-17 NLT). And that’s a foundation to build your self-worth on!  2) ‘And the boundaries of their dwellings.’ God’s will for you requires being in the right place; that’s why He sets ‘boundaries’. Sometimes He will say, ‘Don’t go there, I wan

‘HE BURNED THE PLOUGHING EQUIPMENT.’ 1 Kings 19:21 NIVUK Elisha’s ministry begins with this Scripture: ‘He took his yoke of oxen and slaughtered them. He burned the ploughing equipment to cook the meat and gave it to the people …Then he set out to follow Elijah.’ He couldn’t go back to his old way of life because he had destroyed the time machine that would take him back. It was the end of Elisha the farmer, and the beginning of Elisha the prophet. It doesn’t matter whether you’re trying to lose weight, get into university, write a book, start a business or a ministry, or get out of debt. The first step is always the longest step and the hardest. You can’t just take a step forward into the future; you also have to eliminate the possibility of moving backward into the past. That’s how you go after goals. That’s how you break addictions. That’s how you reconcile relationships.  To begin a new chapter, you must end an old chapter. Elisha didn

GOD is always waiting for you with open arms to embrace you and show His fatherly love. ‘SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD.’ Matthew 6:33 Until the sixteenth century, scientists believed the earth was the centre of the universe and the sun revolved around it. Then an astronomer called Copernicus came along and argued that the sun didn’t revolve around the earth, the earth revolved around the sun. In so doing, he revolutionised the scientific world forever. And when it comes to discipleship, Jesus did the same thing: ‘Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.’ At its core, sinfulness is selfishness. It’s enthroning yourself – your desires, your needs, your plans – above all else. You may still seek God, but you don’t seek Him ‘first’. Instead of trying to fulfil His purposes, you try to get Him to fulfil yours. Who’s following who? Instead of following Jesus, you’re trying to get Him to follow you. It do
