Cultivating and Sustaining God’s presence in the Ember months<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are eternally grateful to our Father in heaven for being there for us, since the beginning of this year till now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As He is taking us through the Ember of the year 2025, we have nothing to fear about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We still have His unfailing promises and guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deuteronomy 11:12 A land which the LORD thy God careth for: the eyes of the LORD thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is His covenant for us and He is a covenant keeping God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But then, we need to understand how to cultivate and sustain His presence all through the Ember months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Listen to His unfailing promises, which are conditional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don’t forget. The devil knew His time is running out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And so he and his cohorts are tirelessly doing what they know, how to do best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You must resist them through God’s unfailing armouries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 Peter 5:9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What are these conditional unfailing promises?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deuteronomy 23:14 For the LORD thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What then is condition to keep His presence for Him to continue to subdue your tireless adversaries?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daily biblical holiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Luke 1:75 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Exodus 33:14 And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You must be content in what the Lord has given you, be thankful and He will continue to increase them according to His will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Matthew 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Be engaged in lifting up Jesus, through your lifestyle, adornment and utterances, to turn all around you to righteousness .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daniel 12:3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
John 8:29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pleading Him in all things and at all times. Never ever please any being including yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Galatians 1:10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Be like Enoch <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hebrews 11:5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doing all of these will help you to cultivate and sustain God’s unfailing presence till Christ comes and also be ready anytime the imminent rapture takes place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remember, His grace will be sufficient for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2 Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
