NO PLACE LIKE THE PRESENCE OF GOD

There is no place like the presence of the Lord. We must never stray away from God's presence.

Jonah fled from Gods presence because He did not want to do God's bidding to go to Nineveh. He went down to Joppa. You know every time we run from God's will, we go down. Isaac ran to Egypt in the time of famine and the bible records He went down. Many are going down today because they are fleeing from Gods will.

Do you know that Jonah had a false sense of security? When the storm was on and everyone else in the ship called on their God Jonah was sound asleep in the boat. Yes I agree that Jesus slept in the storm but I believe He did sleep in the storm because He already prayed through the storm. You need to break that spirit of slumber and arise into strong and prevailing prayers. Rise up and stand in prayer for your Nation, your community, your family and for your destiny. The unbelievers in the boat all called on their gods. Maybe you are not aware most people around you move with certain powers and dabble into things that you would not believe and you as a believer cannot be careless with your prayer life. Go back to the place of prayer. You will be shocked that the unbelievers in the boat called Jonah a sleeper. They said oh sleeper arise. May I also say sleeping Christian arise into prayer.

Would you believe that when Jonah decided eventually to obey God and go minister in Nineveh. Something powerful happened. In Chapter three Verse 4 Nineveh was a three days journey. But when Jonah stood up in obedience, God shortened the journey to One day.

Beloved running away from Gods presence makes the journey longer and staying in Gods presence makes the journey of life shorter and smoother.

A word is enough for the wise!!!

Be blessed

ON VALENTINE DAY : LOVE YOUR ENEMIES TOO

I love Jesus, His ways, His teachings, His Principles and His Power. May the Lord give me the grace to follow TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY.

As I was meditating about the love in the atmosphere, I heard the Lord say "Love Your enemies. Pray for them and Pray also for those who persecute you."

Valentine is a time of love and there is a tendency to remember only those who love us: our spouses, our family and very good friends who have been there for us. But the Lord Jesus always turns another side of the coin. This time also we are reminded to also extend love to those who have hurt us and many times we feel they need to be punished by the Lord.

If we show love only to those who love us, how then are we different from unbelievers? We become the same as those who are wicked isn't it?

I have just done a list of some that I have felt are enemies. I am making a point to pray for God's blessing on them this season. Its difficult but it is the word of the Lord and God knows whats best. Don't even do it because it heaps coals of fire on your enemies (I know sometimes I have blessed them to heap coals of fire) Just do it because God takes pleasure in our obedience.

Go Ahead meditate on the scripture below:


Matthew 5

43 “You have heard the law that says, ‘Love your neighbor’[a] and hate your enemy. 44 But I say, love your enemies![b] Pray for those who persecute you! 45 In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike.

Luke 6

35 “Love your enemies! Do good to them. Lend to them without expecting to be repaid. Then your reward from heaven will be very great, and you will truly be acting as children of the Most High, for he is kind to those who are unthankful and wicked.


Now that you have meditated on the scriptures, please go ahead and remember someone that really hates you and bless them.

God bless you as you do
