Knowing JESUS Daily Devotional | September 16, 2020 | LESSONS FROM PSALMS | Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die – Psalms 79:11

Dearly beloved brethren, there is a world of difference between God’s people and the worldlings. Whatever is happening to them can not be happening to God’s own people. Praise God, you are peculiar and I celebrate you, because you belong to God.

Exo 11:7 But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that the Lord doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.

Beloved, our Lord has been there for us, since the outbreak of the global devastating COVID 19 PANDEMIC. He that has been keeping us, shall continue to do so, even in the ember months of this year and beyond in Jesus name. See His unfailing and unchanging promises, for you and your family in particular in both old and new testaments. They shall be fulfilled for us all in Jesus name.

Psa 27:1 — Psa 27:3 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

Psa 91:15 — Psa 91:16 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die – Psalms 79:11

Psa 121:4 — Psa 121:8 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in
from this time forth, and even for evermore.

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.

2Ti 4:17 — 2Ti 4:18Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Heb 13:5 — Heb 13:6 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. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die – Psalms 79:11

Jude 1:24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,

Dearly beloved, every handwriting of ordinances contrary to you and your family shall be blotted out with the precious blood of Jesus in Jesus name.

Psalms 79:11 Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die

Colossians 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die – Psalms 79:11

My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: – Proverbs 3:1-9

Knowing JESUS Daily Devotional | April 24, 2020 – GYe shall not add unto the word which I command you – Deuteronomy 4:2

Babalola Oluwaseun April, Daily Devotionals April 24, 2020

Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord – Deuteronomy 4:2

Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you. – Deuteronomy 4:2

Beloved, it is amazing that believers are placed in the same category of our Lord Jesus Christ, by our loving Father in heaven.

Jesus our Lord and savior was His beloved Son.

Matthew 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Mat 17:5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

Like our Lord , God has brought all believers of all ages and you to Himself and called them sons.

Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord – Deuteronomy 4:2

Glory to God, you are also a son in the family.

1Jo 3:1 — 1Jo 3:2. Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

As His sons, He has passion to dwell with you for all eternity. It shall be so in Jesus name.

Rev 21:3 — Rev 21:4 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

He Has prepared , befitting city for you. It shall not elude you in particular in Jesus name.

Heb 11:13 — Heb 11:16 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord – Deuteronomy 4:2

In addition to this, He has incorruptible inheritances awaiting you.

1Pe 1:3 — 1Pe 1:4 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,

Beloved, it is because of all these that made Him to give believers of all ages and you in particular, unchanging commandments concerning His words in the Bible.

Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord – Deuteronomy 4:2

In both old and new testaments, He commanded that you should not remove or add anything to His words in the Bible. See it yourself.

Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.

Deuteronomy 12:32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

Pro 30:5 — Pro 30:6 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

Rev 22:18 — Rev 22:19 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord – Deuteronomy 4:2

Jesus Christ our Lord and savior commanded that the entire words in the Bible must be believed and preached to guarantee a secured eternity.

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.

1 Timothy 4:16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

Rev 3:10 — Rev 3:11 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord – Deuteronomy 4:2

He went further to say any word in the Bible not believed and preached will damn whoever is guilty of such.

Jn 12:46 — Jn 12:48 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

Very very unfortunate, today’s professors of religion globally are guilty of adding and subtracting from God’s words in the Bible.

No marvel the blessed Holy Spirit revealed that such a person is cursed.

Gal 1:6 — Gal 1:9 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord – Deuteronomy 4:2

Beloved, see all that are awaiting you in particular in heaven. You shall receive them all in Jesus name.

But then you must heed the commandment not to remove or add to His words in the Bible.

Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.

Receive grace to obey the commandment of the Lord in Jesus name.

Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord – Deuteronomy 4:2

Knowing JESUS Daily Devotional | April 11, 2020 – God’s View Of Complainers; Stop Complaining – Numbers 11:1

Babalola Oluwaseun April, Daily Devotionals April 11, 2020

God’s View Of Complainers; Stop Complaining | And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord: and his anger was kindled; - Numbers 11:1

Knowing JESUS Daily Devotional | April 11, 2020 | Enrich and Sustain your relationship with Jesus reading our daily devotional |

God’s View Of Complainers; Stop Complaining | And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord: and the Lord heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the Lord burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp. – Numbers 11:1

Dearly beloved, we give God all the glory for making you and your family witness in good health and happiness, this year 2020’s Easter.

Everything the death of Jesus can do on this side of heaven and at eternity shall be your portion in Jesus name.

How else can you show your gratitude to Christ, for His shameful and painful excruciating substitutionary vicarious sacrifice?

It is by following His exemplary lifestyle during His earthly ministry, especially at a time like this.

This becomes necessary because, everything out Lord did was an example for His followers of all ages and you in particular to follow.

God’s View Of Complainers; Stop Complaining | And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord: and his anger was kindled; – Numbers 11:1

1 Peter 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

It is very important for you to know that our Lord earned most of the things the Father did to Him on merit.

If you also must receive anything on this side or at eternity, you are going to earn them on merit.

I am sure you have read that our Lord had the Spirit of God without measure.

John 3:34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.

How did this happen? See it.

Heb 1:8 — Heb 1:9 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

God’s View Of Complainers; Stop Complaining | And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord: and his anger was kindled; – Numbers 11:1

He also had a name above every other names. How did this happen?

Phi 2:5 — Phi 2:11 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

God’s View Of Complainers; Stop Complaining | And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord: and his anger was kindled; – Numbers 11:1

He is presently sitting at the right hand of majesty in heaven. A position He earned by merit.

Revelation 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Now look at this. Very enviable accolade and encomium from the Father.

Matthew 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Matthew 17:5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

God’s View Of Complainers; Stop Complaining | And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord: and his anger was kindled; – Numbers 11:1

See what our Lord did to earn the enviable commendation.

He went extra mile to please the Father in all things and at all times.

Remember, don’t forget, He did it as an example for you in particular to follow. This is not optional but compulsory.

Obviously, they are inexhaustible, but look at some milestones.

Jn 8:28 — Jn 8:29 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

John 4:34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

John 5:30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

John 6:38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

John 14:31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.

John 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.

John 17:4. I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

Hebrews 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

Heb 5:8 — Heb 5:9 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

Hebrews 7:26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

1 John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

God’s View Of Complainers; Stop Complaining | And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord: and his anger was kindled; – Numbers 11:1

Dearly beloved, it is very very unfortunate, that majority of the professors of religion globally, instead of pleasing the Father, like our Lord did, they displeased Him with unashamed impunity.

Pause here and be very sincere to examine yourself. Are you pleasing our Father in heaven, like Jesus did or are you displeasing Him?

The painful thing, however about displeasing God, is that, as God commended our Lord and rewarded Him. So also will He condemn and punish anyone and everyone displeasing Him, now and at eternity. This shall not be your portion in Jesus name. So don’t displease our loving Father.

See those who displeased Him and then punishments.

1. The children of Israel.

Num 11:1 And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord: and the Lord heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the Lord burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.

2. Onan the son of Judah.

Gen 38:9 — Gen 38:10 And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother’s wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother. And the thing which he did displeased the Lord: wherefore he slew him also.

3. King David

2Sa 11:27 And when the mourning was past, David sent and fetched her to his house, and she became his wife, and bare him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the Lord.

2Sa 12:9 — 2Sa 12:12 Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the Lord, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon. Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife. Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun. For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.

King David counted Israel contrary to God’s word.

1Ch 21:7 — 1Ch 21:8 And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he smote Israel. And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly, because I have done this thing: but now, I beseech thee, do away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.

God’s View Of Complainers; Stop Complaining | And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord: and his anger was kindled; – Numbers 11:1

Dearly beloved, there is something greater that also happens to those displeasing the Lord. It has eternal consequence.

This is what you see today among the nominal churchgoers globally professing religion.

They rejected the truth. See it.

Isaiah 59:15 Yea, truth faileth;
and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey:
and the Lord saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.

2Th 2:10 — 2Th 2:12 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

God’s View Of Complainers; Stop Complaining | And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord: and his anger was kindled; – Numbers 11:1

I am persuaded of you that you do not fall into the categories of these people.

But just in case you are, repent immediately. This is because anyone and everyone displeasing the Lord shall not be part of the dawning rapture and the person shall be damned. You shall not be in Jesus name. So don’t reject any truth of God’s words in the Bible.

It is because of this, that God gave this timely warning. May the Lord help you to take advantage of it in Jesus name.

Zch 1:1 — Zch 1:4. In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the Lord unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying, The Lord hath been sore displeased with your fathers. Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the Lord of hosts. Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Turn ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith the Lord.

God’s View Of Complainers; Stop Complaining | And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord: and his anger was kindled; – Numbers 11:1

Please turn to God and be obedient to Him.

Jeremiah 7:23 But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.

God’s View Of Complainers; Stop Complaining | And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord: and his anger was kindled; – Numbers 11:1

Knowing JESUS Daily Devotional | March 28, 2020 | Enrich and Sustain your relationship with Jesus reading our daily devotional

And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil. – Exodus 23:25-26

Beloved, my earnest prayer for you is that you in particular shall be among raptured saints, when the dawning rapture takes place. It shall be so in Jesus name.

But then because this shall be so, you must commit yourself totally from now on to rendering acceptable services to our Lord Jesus Christ untill He comes.

This becomes necessary because, immediately after meeting our Lord Jesus Christ in the air, He himself shall lead us straight to the venue for the event below. See it.

Rev 19:6 — Rev 19:9 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee – Exodus 23:25-26

However at this venue the only thing that shall make you joyful during the marriage supper of the Lamb and for all eternity, is what you do for Christ, wholeheartedly now.

Some brethren that must not include you shall be onlookers all through the event , because they failed to render desirable wholehearted service to our Lord on this side of heaven.

The marriage supper of the Lamb is the forum where our Lord Jesus Christ, shall reward your faithful service.

The question is, are you doing anything for Jesus now?

No doubt your response should be affirmative yes.

But if it no, you are not doing well. Repent and engage yourself in doing something to advance the kingdom of Christ, now.

The reason for this is because you are not doing it in vain. There are rewards for you here and hereafter .

And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee – Exodus 23:25-26

Hebrews 6:10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister..

1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

Col 3:23 — Col 3:24 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee – Exodus 23:25-26

Beloved, serving Jesus Christ our Lord and savior is not optional but compulsory.

Those who fail to serve Him are living in outright disobedience and there hands are full of blood.

So we shall not see them in heaven. This shall not be your portion in Jesus name. See what the Bible says.

Ezk 3:17 — Ezk 3:20 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me. When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee – Exodus 23:25-26

Beloved, see rewards those that served Christ shall receive here on earth now and then during the marriage supper of the Lamb.

On earth.

Lifetime of happiness, good health and long life.

Exo 23:25 — Exo 23:26 And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.

Desired physical, financial aid material prosperity.

Job 36:11 If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.

Psalms 35:27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

Divine favour.

Psa 102:13 — Psa 102:14 Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come. For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof.

And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee – Exodus 23:25-26

During the marriage supper.

Incorruptible rewards.

1 Peter 1:4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,

Crown of righteousness.

2Ti 4:6 — 2Ti 4:8 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

Crown of glory.

1Pe 5:1 — 1Pe 5:4 The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

Shinning as stars forever.

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.

Reigning over cities during the millennium.

Luk 19:16 — Luk 19:17 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.

And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee – Exodus 23:25-26

Beloved, because all of these shall be yours,. See the kind of services you should wholeheartedly render for Christ, till He comes.

1. Preaching the gospel.

Act 8:4 — Act 8:5 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word. Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.

2.Pulling people in your world of influence out of fire of hell.

Jud 1:22 — Jud 1:23 And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

3. Restoring backsliders.

Jam 5:19 — Jam 5:20 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

4. Helping sincere unlearned saints to be more grounded in the wholesome truth of the scriptures.

Act 18:24 — Act 18:28 And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus. This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John. And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly. And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace: For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publicly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.

Act 8:27 — Act 8:38 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet. Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him. The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth: In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth. And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man? Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.

5. Turning sinners to biblical righteousness.

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.

6. Interceeding for believers to be edified and backsliding believers to be restored.

Colossians 4:12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

Gal 4:19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,

7. Following up on believers to establish them more in the faith.

Act 11:25 — Act 11:26 Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul: And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

Acts 15:36 And some days after Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they do.

And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee – Exodus 23:25-26

Beloved see what will happen to sinners in your world of influence if you failed to serve the Lord.

1. The gospel shall not be preached and the kingdom of Christ on earth shall not advanced.

Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

2. All the sinners in your world of influence shall not know Christ and shall be damned.

Rom 10:13 — Rom 10:15 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

3. Because of your failure God will destroy all the people in your world of influence.

Ezk 22:30 — Ezk 22:31 And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none. Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord God.

4. You will waste the talent and gift Jesus gave you to serve Him and be damned yourself in disobedience. This shall not be your portion in Jesus name.

Luke 19:13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come

And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee – Exodus 23:25-26

Because all of the above must not happen, arise now and follow the exemplary lifestyle of Jesus our Lord , during His earthly ministry. It is expected of believers of all ages and you in particular to follow His example. See it.

Luke 19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

John 9:4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

1 Peter 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee – Exodus 23:25-26

Always remember up till now, the Lord is looking for genuine, submissive labourers in His vineyard. Will He find you?

Mat 9:37 — Mat 9:38 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

I am persuaded you too shall respond like Isaiah and you shall be blessed here and hereafter in Jesus name.

Isaiah 6:8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.

And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee – Exodus 23:25-26

Knowing JESUS Daily Devotional | March 15, 2020 – POINTING OTHERS TO GOD AT ALL TIMES – Exodus 9:27-29

Babalola Oluwaseun Daily Devotionals, March March 16, 2020

POINTING OTHERS TO GOD AT ALL TIMES | Be it according to thy word, that thou mayest know that there is none like unto the Lord our God - Exodus 8:9-11

Knowing JESUS Daily Devotional | March 15, 2020. Enrich and Sustain your relationship with Jesus reading our daily devotional – Exodus 9:27-29 – And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, I have sinned this time: the Lord is righteous, and I and my people are wicked. Intreat the Lord (for it is enough) that there be no more mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer. And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands unto the Lord; and the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that thou mayest know how that the earth is the Lord’s. | Exodus 8:9-11 And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I intreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses, that they may remain in the river only? And he said, To morrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word: that thou mayest know that there is none like unto the Lord our God. And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy servants, and from thy people; they shall remain in the river only.

Beloved, I earnestly pray for you in particular, that your lounging and desire to be part of the dawning rapture, shall come to pass and you shall realize this noble and worthwhile dream in Jesus name.

But then you must conscientiously watch out for the most subtle, most potent weapon, snare and devices of satan..

2Co 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

1Ti 3:7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

This most subtle snare and devices of satan was the undoing of many in Bible days and even in our own contemporary time.

This was why their precious soul ended in hell. This shall never be your portion in Jesus name.

This snare was the undoing of King Herod,. See it yourself and conscientiously avoid it till Christ comes.

Act 12:21 — Act 12:23 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them. And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man. And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost

No wonder the Bible says he that thinketh he standeth should be very very careful.

1Co 10:11 — 1Co 10:12 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

Beloved you must discover one great virtue that your Father in heaven place so much premium.

See it yourself.

Psalms 138:6 Though the Lord be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.

Isaiah 57:15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

Isaiah 66:2 For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the Lord: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.

James 4:6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

1Pe 5:5 — 1Pe 5:6 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:

God your loving Father in heaven hated pride with passion. He doesn’t tolerate it at all. See it.

Pro 6:16 — Pro 6:19 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

This was why Lucifer the most beautiful Cherub, became satan, the most ugly creature of God and destined for the lake of fire.

Isa 14:11 — Isa 14:19 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners? All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house. But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.

Beloved, God created you in particular for His glory, don’t ever forget this.

Isaiah 43:7 Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him..

Never ever give the glory due to your Father in heaven alone to any being, no matter what they do for you. Don’t also give His glory to yourself.

Isaiah 42:8 I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another,

neither my praise to graven images.

But then always praise Him and point others to Him and Him alone.

Isaiah 43:21 This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.

This was exactly what Moses ,our Lord Jesus Christ and these other saints were doing.

It brought tremendous blessings to them here on earth and hereafter in heaven.

It shall do same for you here and qualify you to be ready for the dawning rapture in Jesus name.

Now see as these saints pointing others to heaven, even though, they were doing great exploits. Yet they adduced all the glory to God and Him alone. See them.

Moses glorifying God. Moses pointing others to God in heaven.

Exo 9:27 — Exo 9:29 And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, I have sinned this time: the Lord is righteous, and I and my people are wicked. Intreat the Lord (for it is enough) that there be no more mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer. And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands unto the Lord; and the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that thou mayest know how that the earth is the Lord’s.

Exo 8:9 — Exo 8:11 And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I intreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses, that they may remain in the river only? And he said, To morrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word: that thou mayest know that there is none like unto the Lord our God. And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy servants, and from thy people; they shall remain in the river only.

Gen 33:4 — Gen 33:5 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept. And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath graciously given thy servant.

Abraham’s servant glorifying God

Abraham’s servant. pointing others to God in heaven.

Gen 24:34 — Gen 24:36 And he said, I am Abraham’s servant. And the Lord hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses. And Sarah my master’s wife bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath.

Joseph glorifying God. Joseph pointing others to God in heaven.

Gen 41:15 — Gen 41:16 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it. And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.

Joshua glorifying God. Joshua pointing others to God in heaven.

Jos 3:9 — Jos 3:11 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the words of the Lord your God. And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites. Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passeth over before you into Jordan.

Jesus Christ our Lord pointing others to God in heaven.

Jn 8:28 — Jn 8:29 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

Daniel pointing others to God in heaven.

Dan 2:26 — Dan 2:28 The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof? Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, shew unto the king; But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these;

Response of King Nebuchadnezzar to the lifting up of God by Daniel.

Daniel 2:47 The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret.

Peter. pointing others to God in heaven.

Act 3:6 — Act 3:13 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. And all the people saw him walking and praising God: And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him. And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon’s, greatly wondering. And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk? The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.

King Nebuchadnezzar. pointing others to God in heaven

Dan 4:34 — Dan 4:37 And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation: And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou? At the same time my reason returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, mine honour and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added unto me. Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.

Paul and Barnabas pointing others to God in heaven.

Act 14:8 — Act 14:18 And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked: The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed, Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked. And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men. And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker. Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people. Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out, And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein: Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways. Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness. And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them.

You too should henceforth point others to God I heaven. Never ever be drawing attention to yourself or others. So that what happened to Lucifer and king Herod will not happen to you. It shall not in Jesus name.

Go and be doing likewise till our Lord Jesus Christ, comes.

Luk 10:37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

Babalola Oluwaseun Daily Devotionals, February February 22, 2020

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing - John 1:1-3

Knowing JESUS Daily Devotional | February 22, 2020. Enrich and Sustain your relationship with Jesus reading our daily devotional – – In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. John 1:1-3 | In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth – Genesis 1:1

Beloved, it very important that you give attention to everything that makes reference to the beginning.

See some of them.

Ecc 7:8 Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

Isa 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning,and from ancient times the things that are not yet done,saying, My counsel shall stand,and I will do all my pleasure

Isa 64:4 For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear,neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee,what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.

Mat 24:4 — Mat 24:8 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Act 15:18 Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.

Psa 111:10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom:a good understanding have all they that do his commandments:his praise endureth for ever.

Psa 119:160 Thy word is true from the beginning:and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.

Pro 1:7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge:but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Mat 19:3 — Mat 19:8 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.

1Pe 4:17 — 1Pe 4:18 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

Heb 3:14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

1Jo 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the works of the devil.

I celebrate our Father in heaven who in His providence has made you a very wise person.

Pro 9:12 If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself:but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.

But then if you are going to affirm this biblical wiseness by yourself, it will reflects in your daily preparations to meet with God, which might be sooner than you think.

Amo 4:12 Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel:and because I will do this unto thee,prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.

You will determinedly and conscientiously be working on the eternity you desire.

Deuteronomy 32:29 O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!

Proverbs 19:20 Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.

Beloved, there are two eternal ends. You and not God will determine your choice.

Matthew 25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

I am persuaded of you that you choice is eternal bliss. Because this is so, you have to work on it determinedly and conscientiously.

It has never been and it will never be something attained automatically, but it is always conscientiously work towards.

What then must you be doing, if you want to culminating your sojourn on earth in eternal bliss?

In the days of old, there was a common parlance that all roads led to Rome. But then not all roads leads to heaven.

If you are interested in heaven, there is only one road.

Mat 7:13 — Mat 7:14 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Isa 35:8 — Isa 35:9 And an highway shall be there, and a way,
and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there:

After entering that road, everything you do thereafter, must be done from the perspective of eternity.

Col 3:1 — Col 3:4 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

Beloved, as a sincere wise person. Pause here and without any iota of presumption. Examine yourself, have you entered this singular road that leads to glory? If you are, are you still walking on this road?

Scriptures abound of innumerable numbers of people, who walked there and ultimately lost out. You shall not in Jesus name.

Mat 7:21 — Mat 7:23 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Beloved, you might be surrounded by scoffers who shamefully trivialize the reality of the dawning rapture.

2Pe 3:3 — 2Pe 3:4 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

The imminence of the rapture with teach them painful lessons when it eventually happens.

1Co 15:51 — 1Co 15:52 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

Perhaps it might be you are one of such people. I am persuaded are not and you shall not be In Jesus name.

But then, let’s ever set aside the issue of the rapture, temporarily. Day after day something happens globally and always reported in the news. It is called death.

You have never seen anyone globally who are thinking about it, until it gets to them. See what the Bible says.

Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

Psa 49:10 — Psa 49:12 For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others. Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever,
and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names. Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not:
he is like the beasts that perish.

Let’s leave every other person out of this. Let’s talk about you. Do you know that death is closer to you more than the distance between your bedroom and your toilet?

1Sa 20:3 And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly as the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death.

I wish you in particular long life and prosperity. It shall be so in Jesus name.

But then, suppose you, I am taking about you. Suppose you die now. Where will you spend eternity?

You know I have not come out of the pains , my brethren at Gombe, suffered this last January at the hands of Boko Haram. They were killed in the midst of service.

Our Father in heaven is sovereign and unquestionable. Wisdom demands that you should learn lessons from the misfortunes of others.

Suppose, you are one of the victims or suppose same thing happen to you. Where will you spend eternity?

Deuteronomy 32:29 O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!

Proverbs 19:20 Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.

It is for this reason that the blessed Holy Spirit, is sharing with you in particular, biblical preparations for the beginning of the end.

The journey to the land of the dead has a begining, but has no end. It is forever and ever. If this is the issue, then why are you leaving your life as if, it doesn’t matter?

Let us look at the lives of these two people.

Luk 16:19 — Luk 16:25 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented

Beloved, those two people have been in the place of death before our Lord came to undertake His earthly ministry.

One is in comfort, the other in torment. I pray yours too shall be comfort. But then it takes more than amen to make it happen. You need to work on it.

See example of those who work on it and attain it and follow their examples.

Heb 11:13 — Heb 11:16 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

Beloved, rapture is dawning, death is looming.. You as a matter of compulsion must be preparing for either of both. Rapture or glory. May the Lord help you in particular to be wise unto salvation in Jesus name.

2Pe 3:10 — 2Pe 3:14 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

Rev 22:11 — Rev 22:15 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

Knowing JESUS Daily Devotional | October 21, 2019 – Hebrews 6:12 That ye be Followers of Them, who through Faith and Patience inherit the Promises

Babalola Oluwaseun Daily Devotionals, October October 21, 2019

Knowing Jesus Daily Devotional | Only through Faith and the bible kind of patience that comes by hearing and it is not not without works that makes dead promises come to life.

Hebrews 6:12 – That ye be Followers of Them, who through Faith and Patience inherit the Promises. Faith without works is dead and it comes by hearing.

Beloved, God your loving Father in heaven remains your singular source for all desired breakthroughs. He alone is. all you need for all things . However, to receive anything and everything from God , you need faith. Without faith, you can not receive anything from Him.

Heb 11:6. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

You must make diligent efforts to grow your faith by hearing God’s words always.

Romans 10:17. So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

But then very importantly, remember this. Most times, it takes more than faith to receive from God. This is where majority of believers of all ages and you too perhaps might have missed it, thinking, is not worthwhile to trust God alone for all things. What you must always remember is that most times it takes faith and patience to receive from God. See it.

Heb. 6:12. That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

Lack of patience have made many believers of all ages to loose the best of God. You shall not loose the best of God in Jesus name. So make a determined effort to cultivate these two major godly virtues through which you can receive Healing, lifetime godly spouse, children and diverse other requests.

These virtues are faith and patience. This becomes necessary because God has His timing for all things. Because He knows the end from beginning, He works according to His own time, don’t ever forget this.

Isa 46:10. Declaring the end from the beginning,and from ancient times the things that are not yet done,saying, My counsel shall stand,and I will do all my pleasure:

So anytime you are requesting anything and everything from God, remember, He works according to His own time manifest faith and patience, to help you to receive from Him.

Habakkuk 2:3. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

Beloved always remember when you want anything from God your ever loving Father, do not be in haste. Those that are hasty don’t get anything from God.

Isaiah 28:16. Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.

Always wait patiently for Him. Those that wait for God’s time, gets the best from Him.

Isa 30:18. And therefore will the Lord wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the Lord is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.

Those believers who wait for God are not ashamed. You shall not be ashamed in Jesus name.

Isa. 49:23. And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me.

See examples of those who waited for God. They received unique and great things. This shall be your portion too from now on, in Jesus name.

King David

Psa 40:1 — Psa 40:3. I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord.

Abraham – Hebrews 6:15. And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

Beloved remember it takes faith and patience to receive from God. Cultivate these two godly virtues in your life as a lifestyle of a lifetime.

verse 10:35 — Heb 10:39. Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

Dearly beloved when you diligently Check what made our Lord Jesus Christ to receive the most exalted name after His earthly ministry. You shall discover He earned it through faith and patience. See them.

1. Faith – Our Lord had faith in His Father, that, He would not leave His dead body in hell.

Acts 2:27. Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

2. Patience – He endured the shameful pains of crucifixion from Friday to the early morning of Sunday of resurrection. Heb 12:2. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

So faith and patience as a lifestyle earned our Lord, His exalted name.

Phi 2:9 — Phi 2:11 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

So as one of His faithful followers, the Bible exhorted you in particular to follow His exemplary lifestyle to obtain great things from God as He did.

1Pe 2:21 — 1Pe 2:23. For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:

Dearly beloved, the blessed Holy Spirit is giving believers of all ages and you in particular, this lifetime exhortation for your wellness here and hereafter. See it. Heb vs 6:12. That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

These two godly virtues made Noah to survive the flood that destroyed the first world. After God told Noah, He would destroyed the world. Noah built the ark and preached for one hundred and twenty years before God told him and his family to enter the ark.

vs. 11:7. By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

God manifested longsuffering for one hundred and twenty years for the people of the then world to repent. But they did not and also the faith of Noah did not wane concerning what God said. He would do.

1Pe 3:20 — 1Pe 3:21. Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

So faith and patience helped Noah. They will help you too, do likewise and receive every blessings from God till Christ comes.

2 Peter 2:5. And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;

Friend, truly the rapture is dawning. Don’t be tired of hearing and preparing. But remember if like Noah, you want to be part of it, you must have faith and patience as a lifestyle.

Heb. 6:12. That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

This becomes necessary because, those that shall miss the rapture shall do so because of unbelief.

2Pet 3:3 — 2Pe 3:5. Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

Friend the Bible says you in particular should patiently wait for the coming of the Lord.

Jam 5:7 — Jam 5:8. Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.

As you are waiting, continue in prayer to be ready when it shall take place.

1st Peter 4:7. But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

You must also keep the entire word of God to avoid great tribulation. The good Lord shall help you in Jesus name.

Rev 3:10 — Rev 3:11. Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

Jesus Christ is God and His Throne is Exalted Forever and Ever

Babalola Oluwaseun Daily Devotionals, October October 9, 2019

Enrich and Sustain your relationship and fellowship with Jesus on a daily basis as you read our daily devotional {www.clcbconline.com}

KnowingJESUS Daily Devotional | October 9, 2019 – Enrich and Sustain your relationship with Jesus reading our daily devotional – Jesus Christ is God and His Throne is Exalted Forever and Ever

Hebrews 1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

Beloved, knowledge is power. You will agree with me that the whole while world have been tremendously blessed in virtually every facets of life, via the discovery of science.

In the same token, believers of all ages and you in particular, can be unusually blessed through your discovery of who Christ Jesus, our Lord is. The significant difference between a Bible believing believer and a nominal churchgoers, is their discovery of the person of our Lord Jesus Christ.

You might have marvelled at what made believers of old , to submit joyfully to marterdom. It was their discovery of the person of Jesus. You might have wondered also while believers in our contemporary times left all to follow Christ.

It was their discovery of the person of Christ. See what Peter said, why others abandoned Christ.

Jn 6:67 — Jn 6:69 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.

See Peter and others abandoned all to follow Christ, because of their discovery and persuasion, of the person of Christ.

Mar 10:28 — Mar 10:30 Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee. And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s, But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life..

See what Martha said to our Lord, because of her persuasion of Christ, even after her brother had died for four days.

Jn 11:21 — Jn 11:27 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.

Have you ever wondered while the injurious Saul of Tarsus, who latter became Paul apostle, left all and pursued after Christ to know Him more. Hear him yourself.

2Ti 1:12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.

Beloved, permit me to ask you, with all humility. Have you discovered the person of Christ? See what He said Himself.

John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

Is even impossible to know Him fully all through life. But as you insatiably pursue to know Him more, them the blessed Holy Spirit will continue to reval His unsearchable riches.

Ephesians 3:8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

Beloved, follow on to know Him, like Paul .

Philippians 3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

As you follow on. This is what you shall discover.

Hosea 6:3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.

Beloved, it is not blasphemy. Jesus Christ , our Lord is God. Equal with your loving Father in heaven in all things. Listen to our Father in heaven revealing Christ to us , Himself.

Hebrews 1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

See what the scriptures says in the old testament, before Christ came during His earthly ministry.

Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

Matthew 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace

Beloved, it is time for you too, to abandon all and follow Christ. This is because, He is God, the creator of heaven and earth, who is upholding the entire universe, by the word of His power.

Heb 1:1 — Heb 1:3 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

Dearly beloved, Jesus Christ was not just our Saviour and Redeemer. He is also our God. See for yourself.

Jn 1:1 — Jn 1:3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

John 10:30 I and my Father are one.

John 10:33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.

Jn 20:27 — Jn 20:28 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

Dearly beloved, don’t get to eternity to discover Jesus to be God. Get to know Him now. Your discovery shall enhance and facilitate your earthly and eternal fulfillment without stress.

John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

John 10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

To help believers of all ages and you in particular to be unusually blessed and be fulfilled here and hereafter. The blessed Holy Spirit, single handedly commissioned to testify for Christ, reveals Him to them and you in particular. Receive grace to believe and embrace these worthwhile revelations of Christ, our Master ,Lord and God.

Jn 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

See His certain revelations of Christ.

Hebrews 1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

Phi 2:5 — Phi 2:6 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

Romans 9:5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.

Heb 3:3 — Heb 3:4 For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house. For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.

1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Dearly beloved, let these revelations be impetus for your unusual walk with and work for Christ, till you see Him , come for you, during the dawning rapture.

Friend, certainly and assuredly, the rapture is dawning. Why do you think, Jesus shall be the one to receive us in the air? The answer is simple, because He is God.

Tit 2:13 — Tit 2:14 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

Your Father in heaven proclaimed Him, as God.

Hebrews 1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

Jesus is one of the majestic Triune God.

1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

See what the blessed Holy Spirit said through the beloved apostle, John the beloved. No doubt He is God.

1 John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

Friend, the world from creation till now have experienced both the dispensations of God the Father in the time past, during the Bible days and presently that of the blessed Holy Spirit. But then saints and believers alike have suffered unavoidable pains because of their faith.

But during the dispensation of Jesus, our God. There shall be no single pain but joy unspeakable. You shall be there in Jesus name. His own dispensation shall take place, seven years after the rapture, immediately after the marriage supper. It is referred to in the scriptures as His one thousand years millennium reign. You shall be there in Jesus name.

Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Two out of the prophecy above had been fulfilled. The last one shall be fulfilled during His peaceable one thousand millennium reign. The child that was born, was fulfilled at Bethlehem.

The Son that was given was fulfilled at Calvary, when He Himself, suffered the most painful and most shameful vicarious death to redeem us. The last of this prophecy of the government shall be upon His shoulder, shall be fulfilled during His own peace full dispensation of one thousand years millennium reign.

It is painful many carefree believers shall not be there. But you shall be there in Jesus name. That is the reason you in particular, should submit wholeheartedly to His Lordship now, for you to be part of His trouble free one thousand years millennium reign and dispensation.

John 13:13 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.

We shall not find many believers during that time. This is because today, they received Him only as Savior, but not as Lord.

Luke 6:46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

Mat 7:21 — Mat 7:23 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

I am persuaded you shall not be missing during this peaceful millennium reign, because I know that you are a very wise person. So prove your wiseness by doing these two things.

Mat 7:24 — Mat 7:25 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

Deuteronomy 32:29 O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!

The good Lord shall help you in particular in Jesus name.
