WITHIN SCRIPTURE.

*WITHIN SCRIPTURE.*  *Psalm:53.2*   God looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. --------------------------------------------  The servants of God are servants of his power, his knowledge and his purpose.  For God to use one, one must be discerning. He or she must be understanding. He must understand the purpose of God, understand his power, understand his knowledge. You cannot serve God if you don't understand his purpose. You cannot serve Him without his knowledge. And above all, you cannot serve unless you have will and zeal. The will to carry on his purpose and power. The zeal to minister his knowledge.  The zeal is reflected in how much you seek the Lord. It is reflected in how much you sacrifice for His service. Reflected in the time you give in for his service.  A person with such character ( zeal, understanding) is worth of service and communion. Many times , we miss out on the goodness of God because we lack a spir

* Psalm:4.4 *   In your anger do not sin; when you are on your beds, search your hearts and be silent. Selah --------------------------------------------  Emotions are one of the critical components of the heart. It is them that drive you to reach your ends. It is the very ones that build or unbuild your relationships with others. They can destroy your relationship with God.  Anger is not sin according to the above scripture. But it is a smooth path to sin according to the human nature anyway. It is not sin because even somewhere Within scripture, God got angry as the israelites became big headed and stubborn. But to human nature, you can easily be promoted to do or say something wrong because of burning anger. You know when you become angry, you are at times totally buried in emotions and thus blinded. You become blind in such a way that you forget all about your actions and act and react as the emotion leads. To avoid the evils that arise because of anger, you need to go silent and

*WITHIN SCRIPTURE.*  *2Chronicles:20.20*   Early in the morning they left for the Desert of Tekoa. As they set out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, "Listen to me, Judah and people of Jerusalem! Have faith in the LORD your God and you will be upheld; have faith in his prophets and you will be successful." --------------------------------------------  Faith is the connection between souls. It is a medium through which spiritual power is connected to souls. It is a heart to heart "inter-code".  You cannot get the fullest of God if you don't have a strong "inter-code" ; a connection to His endless resources. You cannot get to His full stores if there is no faith; faith as a believe that let's God yield His spirit to you. It is faith that draws your spirit to the spiritual realms . In God's systems, there is hierarchy; which is full of servants. From one servant to the other. And for that case, His power and resources flow through such systems of servic

*WITHIN SCRIPTURE.*  *Ecclesiastes:8.6*   For there is a proper time and procedure for every matter, though a man's misery weighs heavily upon him. --------------------------------------------  Many times, we get into feelings of pony. When the luxurious times end, and the festivities become blurred...;we think the world has ended. And that now God has left us to hustle. He has given up on us. We feel the usual challenges have come up again. But within scripture, they tell us how everything has its own time. There is time of sunshine and there is a time of rains. There are climates of wildernesses and climates of rains. Your life has seasons. God drives you from one season to the other. He brings everything to you in the proper time and proper manner. He gives you weights in proper amounts. You will never receive what is not due to you.  For that case, you should have it at the back of you mind that your challenges and weights now are in their due seasons. The burden you face now

*WITHIN SCRIPTURE.*  *Psalm:32.2*   Blessed is the man whose sin the LORD does not count against him and in whose spirit is no deceit. .3 When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. .4 For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was sapped as in the heat of summer. .5 Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the LORD"-- and you forgave the guilt of my sin.  --------------------------------------------  The Lord God is an all knowing God. He knows what goes now, what went on in the past and what will go on in the times to come. God knows what transpires in your life. He knows well what kind person you are. It is not difficult for him to forgive your sins when you do him wrong....because he literally understands who to are. .... however, in His journey of building a relationship with you, He needs you to confess your sins. As a form of spiritual worship, God ne

*WITHIN SCRIPTURE.*  *2 Corinthians:4.18*   So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. --------------------------------------------  Most of the time that we spend in our lives is spent chasing after the resources of this world. We run up and down six days a week to take part of the global cake.... however, we spare just a day to commune with the Spirit. Even within that very day, there could be just a few hours spared for the spiritual fellowship. Yet what comes ahead of us in the spiritual realms and unseen holds more value than what is seen. However, it is important to note that nothing..... absolutely nothing, comes to us without the approval of spiritual powers. Whether you chase after a car or after a house, your acquisition will have to have the approval of spiritual authorities. Whether you are aware or not. God will look at his purpose in your life in order to let you have what you need and the

*WITHIN SCRIPTURE.*  *Genesis:37.10*   When he told his father as well as his brothers, his father rebuked him and said, "What is this dream you had? Will your mother and I and your brothers actually come and bow down to the ground before you?" .11 His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the matter in mind. --------------------------------------------  Here within scripture, Joseph tries to share his God given dream with his family members. The dream reflects how Joseph will go to higher heights., Heights where his own people will have no option but to bow down before him as they ask favors from him. Heights where is a mighty leader. Joseph being younger, he was ridiculed. They thought that that was stupid...and that the dream was out of his instincts. However, the father keeps the matter to his heart and somehow feels flesh in it. He knew the boy couldn't speak what he had not seen in the dreams. And the boy having had a good reputation with his father, see
