I HAVE A REASON TO THANK GOD

Psalm 30:3

You, Lord, brought me up from the realm of the dead;  you spared me from going down to the pit.
--------------------------------------------
   A certain group of believers keep a certain frequency high. Every time it is time, they keep testifying happily on Sundays; and they keep dancing the hardest every time in praise. They pour out their hearts in deep worship everytime a worship song is brought forward. You may think they are in autopilot and are really pretending to be spiritual. But have you been in the shoe they were in as they moved the journey they have moved. 
Even with the little that God has done for them, there is great joy in their hearts and a kind of joy that cannot be queched. They resurrect their memories of the journey they've moved with God every single time they are in praise, worship and testimony; at least they know they should shake for God enough.

In the land of Uz there lived a man whose name was Job. This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil. He was the richest in his region. Everyone of his family members lived in great happiness. They all enjoy the wealth that job had. 
But a greater testament was set. There was a testimony cooking in God's pot. Job was to suffer to nearly death. He lost every single thing he had and was left with one or two things. 
This experience was not only a devil's triangle, but God needed to set a greater reason in Job's heart to praise and worship God. And when all ended, Job really knew God in a greater picture.

God let's trouble come to your life to give you a reason to thank and praise Him. So that when you really testify in church, you indeed testify in the heart. 
God has brought me and given me salvation, who am I to have this gift and others don't have. God has given me the breathe that I have now, who am I to still hold breathe while some of my people have died. God has given me a resilience in serving Him at church and anywhere else compared to many people of my age, who am I to receive such a spirit. God has given me food today, yesterday someone died from starvation; who am I to receive such care. There was a time someone died of an accident, who am I to drive round to and fro in total safety. 
Even when you don't realize it, you have a reason to thank God.

                   GOD BLESS YOU

FORWARD

FORWARD Luke 13:33  In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day—... --------------------------------------------    A Levite in the desert thought was cunning. After killing the Egyptian, he sauntered back to the community. Little did he realise that he was noticed by his fellow and that the news had gone about faster than it could. Knowing this, he fled to Midian where he met the Lord. And being asked by the Lord to rescue his people from slavery, Moses refused. He thought that role was better with someone more superior. But after the Lord insisting, he took the task. The people who were thought as slaves were no lesser to stubbornness and disrespect. They gave Moses hard time. But one thing that happened was forward movement.  Even the Lord used lots of wonders to sustain them through the journey and yet many died from their stubbornness. But regardless of their deaths, the journey went forward. God moved forward. Moses faced the worst of trial...

THE CREED AT THE THRONE

THE CREED AT THE THRONE   Psalms 40:1  I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. -------------------------------------------- There are of course alot of times we pray for something and we feel we need that fast enough. And if am not mistaken , it is most of the times that we pray. We simply want answers right then. And some demand for the answers right away. But either way, you want God to come to your aid at the time you think He should come. But have you ever wondered why some people pray and receive their answers alittle fast compared to a similar prayer someone else had? Well that happens, you can pray and I pray the same thing yet we receive answers at different times.  With the scripture above, interpreting it may seem easy, but diving into it could seem a bit hard. The psalmist says, he patiently waited, then the Lord came to him and heard Him. The important note here is patiently waited. And secondly we see that the Lord comes...

OLDEN STRENGTH

OLDEN STRENGTH Psalm 77:1 I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. -------------------------------------------- It is easy to go through life thinking about the future and forgetting the past. Craving for the future is one thing I have realized does not end. Even the very rich still have cravings. There can not be a moment where cravings end and the mind is inactive only thriving in gratification. Such a moment is only created by us. Anyway, that was a by- the- way. Our point starts from here. The future does not hold the roots but the past does. The roots are not from the sky but are from where the tree started. What makes the tree strong are the roots .  What makes the future strong are the roots. They are the past. You cannot know where you should go unless you know where you came from. How typical you may know where you came from is another factor.  Knowing that God is great is not knowing the future that holds. Knowing that Go...
