The Faith of our Fathers Vs. Our Faith

Image
Hello! Welcome to a new month and welcome to MLS! So, I've been studying the Bible books of Kings and recently, something caught my eye. Take a look at the following scriptures: "Like King Jeroboam before him, he sinned against the Lord and led Israel into sin; he never gave up his evil ways."  "He too sinned against the Lord and followed the evil example of King Jeroboam, who had led Israel into sin." 2 Kings 13:2‭, ‬11 GNT "He did what the Lord considered right, but not exactly what his ancestor David had done. He did everything his father Joash had done." 2 Kings 14:3 GW "Following the example of his father, he did what was pleasing to the Lord." 2 Kings 15:3 GNT These are just a few scriptures; there are many other similar scriptures in both books, and really, all through the Bible. However, my point is that I realized from these scriptures, both the righteous and unrighteous were judged against their fathers...

Expressions of Love

I trust God to help me pass across this message today. But please, listen with your heart and rapt attention 😊 There's so much hurt in the world... So much! I was reading through comments and articles on the life of a celebrity who recently passed, and to say the least, I became numb at some point... I kept questioning... If only someone had reached out to him... If only someone had shown him the love of God that heals and fills every void... If only he had known that depression is a choice and there's a way out of it... If only... Then I thought of the fact that thousands die by the minute who only needed to be shown the love of our Father... Note my point please: Love. Much more than anything, God seeks that they understand and know how much He loves them. Yes, they may be doing things that He hates and they themselves hate, but he doesn't hate them... They were created in His image; He only hates those actions and the spirits behind them. Some of us have tr...

STRATEGIES

M any times God tells us things that will happen in the near  future and we're all hyped, elated, and enthusiastic about what He has said He will do. Have you however wondered why some of those things are yet to manifest for you??? Today, we look at two examples from scriptures of people like is, who got a word from God and what their reactions were. First up is the Israelites... In Judges 20, from verse 18, one of the tribes -Benjamin- in Israel had done wrong and had to be punished. The other tribes asked God whether they could go to fight Benjamin and God said they could... But then, guess what? They were beaten by that small tribe! Twice!!! And both times they asked God before going, so what could have gone wrong? Well, they tried a third time and this time, they won... What changed? STRATEGY. Sometimes, doing the same thing the same way won't bring your desired result. The truth is many times, we move ahead of ourselves and ahead of God's will for us......

Prayers That Avail Much

Image
Happy new month!!!💃💃💃 On "Prayers that avail much" today, we will look at another of Apostle Paul's powerful prayers - Ephesians 1:16-19. Don't just skim through the verses. Really read through, meditate on the lines and then pray them with all fervency. I have copied a few translations for better understanding. There are four major things that jumped at me when I read these verses. You might as well pay attention to them. ~ Intimacy ~ Revelation/illumination ~ Clarity of assignment ~ The greatness of His power in me! A tip for the singles: Pray these verses over your would-be spouse and your children😉 You'll see the manifestation in due time. Let begin making prayers!!! "I couldn’t stop thanking God for you—every time I prayed, I’d think of you and give thanks. But I do more than thank. I ask—ask the God of our Master, Jesus Christ, the God of glory—to make you intelligent and discerning in knowing him personally, your eyes focused and...

Let Worship Rise...

God is faithful! God is FAITHFUL!! GOD IS FAITHFUL!!! I believe someone needs to hear that today... Yes, you're going through 'stuff' but your God is still faithful ! You can bank on His word. You can be sure that He will see you through the 'stuff' you're passing through. In a moment, you'll be out of this phase and on to a greater/better one! The Bible says God won't give you more than you can bear but will make  a way of escape for you! So, whatever it will take for you, His son/daughter, to come out victorious, God is willing and ready to do it! It may not come at the time you want it however, rest in the truth that it will come at just the right time. I myself, am going through such a season... But I am unshaken, because I can stake my life on God's word and promises!!! Every word of His has the capacity  to accomplish what He has sent it to do! It has the creative power to bring into reality things that were  once only dreams and fant...

Prayers That Avail Much

Hello there! Welcome and happy new month! Every once in a while, we will take a look at some amazing prayers from scriptures. We will look at one of such today and then, we will take some time to pray... Yes, pray☺ I can imagine that someone just went "oh, no!"😁 The truth is many of us would prefer a million times to rather study than pray (I see you😉). But as much as I'd encourage you to study the word as it helps you pray the right prayers and pray with understanding, I encourage you also to pray. Pray, pray and keep praying. Never stop! There was a time in my life when I really didn't feel like praying. I would study but prayer wasn't just it because my heart was too burdened. At that point, I remembered something someone once said: You may not always feel like praying but the key to praying when you don't feel like it is to pray . The truth is there's no shortcut to prayer. The only way to continue praying whatever the situation, is to pray...

Listen And Be Edified

Hello! Welcome again! On listen and be Edified today, we will listen to and meditate on another powerful song. This song was done by Elevation worship and features Travis Greene and Kierra Sheard. I'm triple sure the lyrics will minister to you greatly. The last part of this song reminds me about the power of testimonies. Sometimes, all we need to find the strength to carry on is to remember what we have been through and how God came through for us. I'll share some of my testimonies: I remember once when I was young, myself and my Mum were on our way to my school. She was driving. All of a sudden, this trailer came out of nowhere, hit us and then kept dragging us until we were off the road, and then the driver stopped. Amazingly, the accident was on my side of the vehicle but I came out without any issues (except the trauma), and I still attended school that day. Meanwhile, the car was written off! Another time, I had this severe stomach pain the doctors diagnos...
