WHO DO YOU SHARE YOUR DREAM WITH?

 In life, you may come into contact with so many people. Some may be admirable, others may be unbearable. Some may be miracles, whiles others may become obstacles. So who do you share your dream with? You must be mindful of the one you are telling your dream to. Because it could change the course of your life forever. There are dream-killers, dream-stealers and dream-fighters. DREAM-KILLERS would want to get rid of you, so that your dream never comes through. Just like Herod wanted to kill Jesus. DREAM-FIGHTERS are those who would not necessarily want to kill you, but they would frustrate you and fight against your dream, so that you would give up. Just like the brothers of Joseph fought him. DREAM-STEALERS may neither kill your dream nor fight against it, but they want to steal it and fulfill it without you. Just like Paul was kept in different prisons. God has given so many of us great dreams, but we must know who to share those dreams with. Guard your dream! @ABTruworshipa

ARE YOU GOOGLE? (RELOADED)

Title: Are you google? (Reloaded)
Scripture: Ezekiel 37:4-7, NLT

"Then he said to me, speak a prophetic message to these bones and say, Dry bones, listen to the word of the Lord..! 'Look! I am going to put breath into you and make you live again! I will put flesh and muscles on you and cover you with skin. I will put breath into you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.' So I spoke this message, just as he told me. Suddenly as I spoke, there was a rattling noise all across the valley. The bones of each body came together and attached themselves as complete skeletons."

 It is amazing how God would give specific instructions to Ezekiel on how to handle such a situation. This was because, Ezekiel relied on God. In pretty much the same way, God would tell you how to go about any challenge you find yourself in, if you would come back to Him for answers. Don't pretend you can solve your own puzzle. God offers free consultation so why the hassle? It's complete waste of time. You too can prophesy! @ABTruworshipa

ARE YOU GOOGLE?


Title: Are you google?
Scripture: Ezekiel 37:3, KJV

"And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest." 

Some people always try to give answers to every question in life. But you can't have all the answers, so know when to speak and when to be silent. Even a fool is considered wise when he is quiet. It is not an offence not to know. Infact you can't know everything in life, neither can you understand everything. Some people behave as if they are search engines, so they feel they must give an answer to every question life throws at them. It is better to go back to God if you are not sure.

 Ezekiel was asked if he saw any hope or life in the dry bones. And he threw it back to God and said "O Lord, Thou knowest". You might also face some dry situations or seasons in your life. That is when to turn back to God and say "Lord, what is before me may look impossible to man, but it is you that knows the way out. For nothing is impossible with you; Jesus take the wheel." Be sincere! @ABTruworshipa

WHERE IS YOUR SOURCE?

Title: Where is your source?
Scripture: Deuteronomy 8:18

 "But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God:for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is THIS DAY"

 When God wants to bless you, He thinks of doing it now. He is a NOW God! "Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come."(Ps. 102:13). It is indeed favor-time! But how do you get wealth? "Wealth from get-rich-quick schemes quickly disappear; wealth from hard work grows over time."(Prov. 13:4). 

As we can see, hard work pays over- time. But there is another dimension in God, where the anointing get things done, quicker, better, easier in the favour-time! "Some who are poor pretend to be rich; others who are rich pretend to be poor."(Prov. 13:7). 

But when you know where your wealth is from, you would not pretend. "The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it." Its good to know the source of your wealth. @ ABTruworshipa

ARE YOU THE SOWER OR THE EATER?


Title: Are you the sower or the eater?
Scripture: Isaiah 55:10-11, KJV

 "For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."

I have come to understand from the scripture above that, should God even make a mistake and call someone blessed, it shall come to pass. He provides for both the sower and the eater; which means that, not everything we receive is to be eaten. Some are seeds that must be sown.

"For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you."(2 Cor. 9:10, NLT)

When you receive your blessings, separate the seed from the bread; for not everything is edible! @ABTruworshipa

SPIRIT OF MIRIAM (RELOADED)

Title: The Spirit of Miriam (Reloaded)
Scripture: Numbers 12:9-10, KJV

"And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them; and he departed. And the cloud departed from the tabernacle; and behold, Miriam became leprous"(Num. 12:9-10).

Never become too familiar with your leader that, you can challenge and argue with them. No matter your giftings, he has been chosen to lead you and that is how God want it to be. Miriam had leprosy just because she spoke too quickly and criticized Moses concerning something she should have been silent about. How many times haven't we found ourselves in such situations? And you may ask, what if its so glaring? I suggest a prayer would do.

"He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sake, Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.(1 Chro. 16:21-22). Never joke with the Lords anointed. God himself has ordained them. He has his eyes on them. So the next time you want to criticize them, make sure God has asked you to or else there may come on you spiritual leprosy. @ABTruworshipa

THE SPIRIT OF MIRIAM

Title: The spirit of Miriam
Scripture: Numbers 12:1, KJV

"And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married..." 

Some people in the church today think that, because of their age or status, they can say anything to the leader God has placed over them. Never speak against, criticize or despise your leader, no matter how wrong you think they are. If you can't pray for them in your closet, then shut your mouth when you come out. You might cause troubles for yourself. In our text, Miriam asked if Moses was the only prophet God speaks to? She thought she too had "the gift". 

Here is God's response; "And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the Lord will make myself known unto him in vision, and will speak unto him in a dream. My servant Moses is not so...With him I speak mouth to mouth." There would always be that difference. You can't deny it. You are not the same as your leader. The spirit of Miriam always leaves you in a leprous situation. Be careful! @ABTruworshipa

SOME OF THE BEST THINGS COME IN LATE

Title: Some of the best things come in late
Scripture: John 2:10, NLT

 "A host always serves the best wine first, he said. "Then, when everyone has had a lot to drink, he bring out the less expensive wine. But you have kept the best until now!"

 As men, we may expect to get certain things at certain times in our lives. But can we wait a little bit for God's best? At a point where men have given up, thinking nothing good could come out from their life, God steps in and releases a miracle. Isn't it amazing how God chooses to work? You may have gotten to a point in your life,  where you think there is nothing good in store for you.

 But I am here to put it to you: You haven't seen anything yet. God has new levels he is taking you in your ministry. A new promotion in your career. A new opportunity in your business. A new kind of love springing forth in your relationship. Don't throw in the towel. God also specializes in saving some of the best things for the last. You are next in line for a miracle! @ABTruworshipa

DON'T BE LIKE A FOOL!


Title: Don't be like a fool
Scripture: Ecclesiastes 10:1, NLT

"As dead flies cause even a bottle of perfume to stink, so a little foolishness spoils great wisdom and honor."

This may sound a little harsh but there's no better way of putting it than saying it as it is. I humbly tell you, never to entertain any "amount" of foolishness, either from yourself or someone else. There is nothing like "little foolishness". A fool is a fool no matter the size of their foolishness. There are some people if you stay around them, the aroma of their foolishness would smell on you. You begin to think, talk and even behave like them. They are very contagious; from such flee!

 It doesn't matter how honorable or wise you may be, just a little dose of foolishness can erode all your dignity. We must therefore be circumspect how we live our lives and not say or do things any how. "You can identify fools just by the way they walk down the street!"(Eccl. 10:3).

It is time to get rid of all the foolishness around. It starts with us being wise! @ABTruworshipa

YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES

Title: You have what it takes
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4

V7"We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves." V8"We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven in despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but not destroyed." V13"But we continue to preach because we have the same kind of faith the psalmist had when he said, "I believed in God, so I spoke." V15"All of this is for your benefit. And as God's grace reaches more and more people, there will be great thanksgiving, and God will receive more and more glory. That is why we never give up....". Sometimes you may feel pressured by work, family, etc. But you have an inherent ability, to go through difficult moments and still survive. Your victory is assured, so don't give up. Have the right perspective. Enjoy lunch! @ABTruworshipa

CONTROL YOUR THOUGHTS

 As Paul was going about his MINISTRY, others were also causing him INJURY. Always know that, whiles you try to MANAGE your CALLING, some people would be planning your DAMAGE through your FALLING. They may try to IMITATE you but don't allow that to INTIMIDATE you. Stay STRONG because they can do you no WRONG. Don't allow those FEARS to bring you TEARS. God is holding your HAND so you can STAND. All your haters will disappear in a WHILE so put on your greatest SMILE. Never think DEFEAT, neither should you try and COMPETE. Stay in your LANE and never COMPLAIN. Failure is not in your DNA. Its starts in the MIND. Be careful the thoughts you ENTERTAIN and the people you MAINTAIN.

"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." (Phil. 4:8) @ABTruworshipa

STOP ASKING THE WRONG QUESTIONS!

Title: Stop asking the wrong questions!
Scripture: John 9:1-3, NLT

"As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man who had been blind from birth. Rabbi, his disciples asked him, "why was this man born blind? Was it because of his own sins or his parents' sins? It was not because of his sins or his parents' sins, Jesus answered. This happened so the power of God could be seen in him." 

Its amazing how sometimes we make some assumptions and ask some questions. The fact that someone is blind did not mean they or their parents for that matter had done something wrong. Jesus wanted to teach us that, when it comes to God, He can even do something with the most hopeless of situations. Some of the challenges that come your way are not meant to destroy you but to cause the power of God to be at work in you. God allows it for a purpose. 

"Jesus said, You're asking the wrong question. You're looking for someone to blame. There is no such cause-effect here. Look instead for what God can do."(Jn. 9:3, MSG). Your life is for His Glory! @ABTruworshipa

AFTER THE PROPHECY?


Title: After the prophecy?
Scripture: 1Kings 18:41-42

"Then Elijah said to Ahab, "Go get something to eat and drink, for I hear a mighty rainstorm coming!... But Elijah climbed to the top of Mount Carmel and bow low to the ground and prayed with his face between his knees."

This is interesting. Just a while ago I heard Elijah prophesying the abundance of rain to the King, asking him to go and eat and drink. So why would Elijah pray this way? Didn't he believe in the prophecy he gave? Well, if you study the story carefully, you would see that even after the prophecy was given it needed an effectual fervent prayer to cause things to happen quickly. There is a prophecy hanging upon your life too, but it is important you pray it into manifestation.

Elijah put his head between his thighs. And by this, he simply closed his ears to any outside voices. There are some people in life who may not mean evil, but they can speak certain words that could distract you. So tune them off and stay focus. Hold on to that prophecy! @ABTruworshipa

YOU CAN'T BE IGNORED!


Title: You can't be ignored!
Scripture: Galatians 1:22-24, NLT

"And still the Christians in the churches in Judea didn't know me personally. All they knew was that people were saying, "The one who used to persecute us is now preaching the very faith he tried to destroy!" And they praised God because of me."

It doesn't matter how often you have been despised. You are about entering into a new dimension of grace, where God shall make you a praise in the land. People may not know you personally, and probably the report they have about you, is also not a good one. But the way God would present you, would make it difficult for them to ignore you.

 Don't let their opinions about you cripple you. Don't allow them to keep you in your past. People kept referring to Paul as the guy who persecuted the Christians. But when they later realized he was preaching the faith, they begun to praise God. Hold on to the profession of your faith and don't try to change their mind about you. They shall soon praise God because of you! @ABTruworshipa

NO MORE EXCUSES!

Title: No more excuses
Scripture: Hebrews 6:10, NLT

"For God is not unjust. He will not forget how hard you have worked for him and how you have shown your love to him by caring for other believers, as you still do."

From our scripture, the love these people had for God was seen in how they cared for other believers. We can't run away from the truth for so long. Sooner than later it would catch up with us. We can say we love God by our words but our actions and inactions could betray us. Actions can speak louder than words. So it is not just enough talking about it but showing it by your care. We actually have no excuse; Love is a command.

"This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you."(Jn. 15:12). The principle Jesus gave was simple: "If you love me, obey my commandments."(Jn. 14:15) So the point is that, we show our true love for God by caring for others, which is an obedience to the commandment to love. As God sees your care for others, he then rewards you. Keep the love flowing! @ABTruworshipa

COME TO YOURSELF

 Title: Come to yourself
Scripture: Luke 15:11-32.

Many of us are familiar with the story of the prodigal son. In the V17 it says: "But when he came to himself, he said...." Let us carefully learn something short from this statement. We can find ourself in some situations, which we wished someone gave us a helping hand. What if you have waited for years and no help seem forth coming?

You have to come to yourself and make a decision to overcome. The devil can cripple you in a mess for so long, and it can cost you so much if you don't deal with it. Get rid of that challenge, that pain, that sin, that addiction! You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. You might have been through some hard times, but I hear God saying "come to yourself, and run to me." Don't hesitate, don't let anything hinder you. God knows and understands your situation.

He just wants you to admit you need His help, and He would help you fix it; no matter how bad it is or have been. Simply say "Lord here I come..." @ABTruworshipa

HOW DEEP IS YOUR LOVE?

 No one can claim he loves God and hate his brother. If what you are talking about is love so real, then that thing would propel you to also love your fellow man. To love someone by using your own strategies and principles may be difficult. But when we allow the spirit of God to lead us, it becomes easier. For the love of God is shared abroad in our heart by the Holy Spirit. And the fruit of the spirit is LOVE...You can't love outside the spirit.

 Love is not what the world makes so much noise about. Love is from God and God is love! "There is no greater love than this, that a man should lay down his life for his friends.." It takes God. Man on his own would have a second look at such a decision. But that is what we have been called into. God knows it wouldn't be easy to love, so He made Jesus come to serve as an example, so we can follow. Beloved, let us love one another.

For love is of God and God is love! How much love have you got? How deep is your love? Selah...@ABTruworshipa

HAVE YOU MET YOUR ANGEL? (RELOADED)

You can know you have met your angel by the message they carry. It is mostly timely, unexpected and in the nick of time. The message they mostly bring comes to answer to a particular need. No angel is sent without a message. The devil too can dispatch his angels; they never come with a good message, but only to destroy what you even have. That is where you have to discern and know who is from God and who is not. Abraham could discern that the men who were passing were not mere humans and treated them nicely. 

After having something to drink and eat these men decided to disclose their mission to him-what they had actually been sent to go and do in Sodom. And because of that Abraham could plead for his nephew Lot and the family so they would not be destroyed. So just be nice to people. It doesn't matter if you never knew them. You may not know who among them has been sent from God to you. "We are standing on holy grounds; and I know that there are angels all around."

I have also learnt from all these, that your angel actually has your welfare at heart. Always want the best for u. Is affected when you are hurt. And has a duty to prevent you from falling. Even the devil knew that and told Jesus to drop frm the mountain for God had said he would keep his angels charge to hold him lest he dash his foot against a stone. My angel wouldnt want my downfall!

 @ABTruworshipa

HAVE YOU MET YOUR ANGEL?

Title: Have you met your angel?
Scripture: Psalm 34:7, KJV

"The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them."

We can sometimes become so fearful that, we begin to fear things that even do not exist. God has assigned to each of us His own angel to be with us wherever we go. Thus David wrote: "For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways."(Ps. 91:11).

Let me digress a little bit. Don't only see the angels here as some strange whitish creatures, who come flapping their wings and suspending in the air. Your angel could be that person who sent you a timely message, when you nearly killed yourself. Or gave you a call to encourage you when things were so hard. Or blessed you with a surprise gift. That could be a messanger sent by God to answer to a specific need of yours, so watch how you treat strangers. Abraham met his angel. "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.(Heb. 13:2). Don't miss your divine visitation! @ABTruworshipa

ARE YOU LIVING LIKE AN EAGLE OR A VULTURE?

Title: Are you living like an eagle or a vulture?
Scripture: Isaiah 40:31

 "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings AS EAGLES; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."(Isa. 40:31) "The way of an eagle is in the air;" (Prov. 30:19). If you are an eagle you won't meddle in the affairs on the ground, neither would you eat from the ground.

I read somewhere that, the eagle is seen as the strongest bird because, it hardly eats anything dead. It always feed on things that are fresh. Unlike the vulture which would not even bother itself, but rather settle on any dead food on dump sites. We also are either feeding on the bread of life to have our strength renewed like an eagle or we are feeding on dead food which would weaken us with time.

The secret to where your strength lies is in what you feed on. The next time you see a vulture, look closely at what it is eating. Don't be an "anything-goes" person. You must eat fresh manna(the word) to grow strong! @ABTruworshipa

MORE FRUITS COME WITH MORE PRUNING!

Title: More fruits come with more pruning
Scripture: John 15:1-2, NLT

"I am the true grapevine, and my father is the gardener. He CUTS OFF every branch of mine that doesn't produce fruit, and he PRUNES the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more." 

There are people who produce fruit and others who do not. Which one are you? You would either be cut off or pruned depending on whether you are bearing fruit or not. God is drawing the attention of many of us to the issue of bearing more fruits to be a blessing to others. Why does the gardener decide rather to prune those bearing fruits and cut off those who are not? This makes pruning very painful. 

You could experience disappointment in your marriage/relationship, financial difficulties, discouragement at the work place, or dissastisfaction in ministry. All these can be pruning mechanisms to cause us to produce more. Once we have not been cut off, we are better off. You might have been asking God for more. It is time to allow Him to prune you. @ABTruworshipa

THEY ARE F.A.L.S.E!


Title: They are F.A.L.S.E

Anything that is not in consonance with the word of God(truth) must be exposed and dealt with before it destroys us. The enemy brings Fear.Anxiety.Lack.Sickness.Envy. (F.A.L.S.E). Let us see the truth shown in God's word and find out what it says about these things.

"For God has not given us a spirit of FEAR..."(2 Tim. 1:7, NKJV).
"Do not be ANXIOUS about anything..."(Phil. 4:6, NIV).
 "A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shall not LACK any thing in it..."(Deut. 8:9, KJV). "
And the Lord will protect you from all SICKNESS..."(Deut. 7:15, NLT).
 "Don't for a minute ENVY careless rebels..."(Prov. 23:17, MSG).

These are the truths the word of God is teaching us. "And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." Most people have been bound in fear, anxiety, lack, sickness and envy ignorantly. But the time of liberation is NOW. Accept the truth in the word and walk in total freedom. All those things mentioned are F.A.L.S.E! Get rid of them. @ABTruworshipa

ARE YOU CONTEND?


Title: Are you content?
Scripture: 1 Timothy 6:6, NLT

Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth."

 There is a natural instinct in man that craves for more. When it is not kept in check, it could cause one to do unimaginable things. There is no problem in desiring more of "anything good". But we must make sure our motives are right and that thing should also please God. 

It is interesting to note that, most things we acquire from our own schemes other than God's way, often do not last. And if even they do, they could come with so many troubles. "The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it." (Prov. 10:22). For many of us, we are not even done with thanking God for the little we have now, but yet still we are asking for more.

I encourage us to show our appreciation for what we have been blessed with and it shall open the door for many to come. Once we are content, God would not mind giving us more than we could ever ask or imagine. The word is to be CONTENT! Are you?  @ABTruworshipa

ME, MYSELF AND I SYNDROME!

Title: Me, Myself and I Syndrome
Scripture: Philippians 2:3-4, NLT

"Don't be selfish; don't try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourself. Don't look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others too."

We can be so consumed with getting the best things for OURSELVES that, we may forget God blessed us, so we could also be a blessing to others. In all you do, do it as unto the Lord-have others in mind as well. Never think whatever you do is more important than what others are doing. Learn to be humble and God will exalt you in due season.

Meekness is never weakness. The same way humility is never stupidity. Gentleness is a fruit of the spirit. And even though some people may try to take advantage of that, God sees your heart and shall reward you. Never try to get even with others. Owe no man nothing except love. It may be difficult at times, and may seem you're too "cheap", but keep being humble.

Extend a helping hand. You could bring a smile on a face. Show concern!  @ABTruworshipa

WRONG SIGNALS!

Title: Wrong signals
Scripture: Matthew 21:18-19, NLT

"In the morning, as Jesus was returning to Jerusalem, he was hungry, and he noticed a fig tree beside the road. He went over to see if there were figs, but there were only leaves. Then he said to it, "May you never bear fruit again!" And immediately the fig tree withered up."

The Lord called me to true repentance as he showed me this scripture. He said like me, many christians have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof. Have you been in a situation where you badly wanted something and from a distance you thought it was ready for the taking only to get closer and realize it wasn't as you thought?

That was exactly what happened to Jesus. Having walked quite a distance and hungry, he thought he could at least get ONE fruit from the fig tree. Only to get there and see only leaves. Many of us behave like this fig tree; showing all the trappings of a fruit-bearing tree only for Jesus to get closer and realize we are empty. Lets stop giving wrong signals! @ABTruworshipa

UNDERSTAND THE SEASONS

Title: Understand the seasons
Scripture: Proverbs 9:5, KJV

"He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame."

When people are not able to distinquish between the seasons they are in, they are most likely to miss some good opportunities. Seasons do change, so we should discern and know which season we are in. There is a season for scattering and there is a season for gathering as well. Our text says, "A wise youth harvests in the summer, but one who sleeps during harvest is a disgrace."(NLT). God has ordered in the course of providence that, he who will not work shall not eat and He always blesses the man who is not lazy. "When Isaac planted his crops that year, he harvested a hundred times more grain than he planted, for the Lord blessed him."(Gen. 26:12). This is a universal law that cannot be changed. "As long as the earth remains, there will be planting and harvest..."(Gen. 8:22).

 It's a SEASON OF WORK (S.O.W). Our harvest shall be great, but we need to sow! @ABTruworshipa

I WANT MY PEACE OF MIND!

Title: I want my peace of mind
Scripture: Isaiah 26:3, AMP

"You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind (both its inclination and its character) is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You."

We are in a world where there seem to be so much activity, noise and pollution. And we are sometimes carried along before we know it. How can we find peace in this kind of world? The peace we so much desire can only come from God. He is the peace-giver! A lot of people are mentally exhausted because of what they have fixed their minds on; just to accumulate wealth and properties. They are always struggling to get results and become restless. They seem to forget that, "but with God all things are possible."

It is that simple: Let your mind be fixed on God and no matter the storms around you, you shall be at peace. Peter was at peace once he kept his mind on Jesus. Be focused and let your mind stay on God, and your life will never sink. Selah @ABTruworshipa

YOU SHALL BE THE TOAST OF THE TOWN

Title: You shall be the toast of the town.
Scripture: Judges 11:3-8, NLT

"So Jephthah fled from his brothers and lived in the land of Tob... At about this time, the Ammonites began their war against Israel. When the Ammonites attacked, the elders of Gilead sent for Jephthah in the land of Tob. The elders said, "Come and be our commander! Help us fight the Ammonites!" But Jephthah said to them, "Aren't you the ones who hated me and drove me from my father's house? Why do you come to me now when you're in trouble? "Because we need you," the elders replied. "If you lead us in battle against the Ammonites, we will make you ruler over all the people of Gilead."

The same way that Joseph's brothers came and bowed before him, so shall those who thought they were getting rid of you come and seek for your favor. You have a special ability they can not deny. And that is what would attract them to you. You shall be celebrated as the person of the hour.

You shall surely be the toast in the town. Its just a matter of time. @ABTruworshipa




WAIT TO BE CALLED(2)

Title:Wait to be called (2)
Scripture: 2 Samuel 5:1-3, NLT

"Then all the tribes of Israel went to David at Hebron and told him, "We are your own flesh and blood. In the past, when Saul was our king, you were the one who really led the forces of Israel. And the Lord told you, 'You will be the shepherd of my people Israel. You will be Israel's leader."' So there at Hebron, King David made a covenant before the Lord with all the elders of Israel. And they anointed him king of Israel." 

When your appointed time is due, God can even cause your haters to remind you on exactly what He said concerning your life. When they realize you have solution to their need, they would now come after you. David was anointed to be the king of the whole of Israel, but he first had to rule over Judah. You can be anointed but not appointed. But when the appointed time came, the elders themselves went to him to ask him to come and lead them. 

What God has said about you shall not fail. Wait for your turn. You shall be called soon! Shalom @ABTruworshipa

NO FAITH; NO WORSHIP

Title: No faith, No worship
Scripture: Hebrews 11:6, KJV

"But without faith, it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he i s, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." 

Never say you're waiting for the "right moment" before you worship. Sometimes all you must do, is to worship God on credit and He would surely reward you. Most people want to see what they would get first, before they worship. But here is the secret: Those who diligently seek God to worship Him, even though things don't look good-but act by faith, are rewarded. 

Don't wait to see miracles, but worship even in the midst of your obstacles. Worship is by faith: in anticipation of what God can do and not only when our expectation is met. It is done in faith as a result of diligently seeking God, which causes Him to release a reward, because we have pleased Him-by faith. Let your worship go forth and your reward would follow. 
When you worship even in bad times, God would also reward you with good times. @ABTruworshipa
