True Teaching

  “ The meek will he guide in judgment: And the meek will he teach his way. All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth Unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.” Psalm 25 : 9 - 10 KJV The major problem with motivational speeches and quotable quotes from sages is that these teachings are still the subjective opinions of men. Even lives built on sermons from men, rather than direct teachings and revelations from God, can be twisted teachings that are motivated by personal interests of the preachers. And when the psalmist declared “ The meek will he guide in judgment: And the meek will he teach his way“, it was alluded that true teaching is only possible by personal, deliberate and decisive submission of hearts to the truth. Rather than being buoyed by intelligent gathering of information and investigative inquisition on any matters of life, the meek will readily seek the face of the Lord and get enlightened by scriptural revelations. He is expressly willing to let g...

Resetting Rest

  “And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught. And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.” Mark 6 : 30 - 31 KJV  Besides going to Church every Sunday as a symbolism of keeping the Sabbath day, appearances in God’s presence as a congregation provides the opportunity of worship and spiritual refreshment. Actually, a fruitful child of God has a faithful fellowship with God every day. The disciples here had narrated to Jesus Christ how they had performed on the mission field, expecting commendations…but a communion with God for spiritual nourishment was rather recommended. Likewise today, life readily serves consistent engagement at home, workplaces, and the society. And without a conscious take on the resetting rest, faithful workers are commended with more work an...

Divine Dressing

  “ Drink waters out of thine own cistern, And running waters out of thine own well.” Proverbs 5 : 15 KJV Whether the referenced cistern or well speaks to marriage, mission, or ministry, the recommended message of sanctification before satisfaction is clear. While contract relationships in marriage, mission, and ministry are woven by mere satisfaction of the parties involved, only covenant relationship of all parties with God can offer the indispensable sanctification with satisfaction of hearts. Therefore, “ Drink waters out of thine own cistern, And running waters out of thine own well ” are not mere recommendations from mortal counsellors; they represent the main commandment of the Creator of heaven and earth. Beyond the desirable pleasures from marriage, mission, or ministry in life, believers find purpose for living in every alignment with the revealed will of God. The moment our god-assigned cistern or well are discovered, believers can be assured that God delights hencefo...

Holy Hill

  “ Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? Or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; Who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, And righteousness from the God of his salvation.” Psalm 24 : 3 - 5 KJV One of the detestable references to the holy hill of God is that it is merely a place for hustling, not helpfulness. This misconception often makes believers’ panting for holiness less attractive. Unfortunately, the deception has succeeded in turning many ministers in the vineyard of the Lord into tools for manipulation in the hands of the enemy. Whereas, the first fruits of the revival of holiness and righteousness are helpfulness and blessings from the Lord. Rather than seeking financial blessings, political appointments, and professional achievements with compromises, deceit, and unrighteousness, clean hands and a pure heart actually attract unlimited blessings and p...

Great Gain

  “ And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him. Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee. And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.” Mark 5 : 18 - 20 KJV If possession by the devils is a great loss, possession by the Lord Jesus Christ is definitely a great gain. Unfortunately, those who haven’t grasped the scope of the great gain are necessarily possessed with the fear of invasion. When the people of the country of the Gadarenes initially encountered the deliverance of the man previously possessed by the Legion of evil spirits, the scriptures say “ And they began to pray him (Jesus) to depart out of their coasts ” because of their fear of reprisals from the power of darkness. Even the freed man would not leave...

Wise Wing

  “ Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked. And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous. ” Exodus 23 : 7 - 8 KJV The reality of life is simply the fact that wisdom appears to have both the true and false sides, and often inseparable on the field of play (i.e., on family, business, social, and ministry matters). Notwithstanding, the scriptural admonition remains sacrosanct “ Keep thee far from a false matter“ . Most times, the operations with false matters are loudly celebrated to the extent that the righteous begins to doubt the faithfulness of God with His promises. For example, when the righteous begins to shift grounds to give false witnesses, support the wicked activities of people in the position of power, and outrightly oppress the righteous in order to satisfy the wicked, they are simply or invariably saying “ God, sometimes, has a sense of...

Contrite Conscience

  “ My son, attend unto my wisdom, And bow thine ear to my understanding: That thou mayest regard discretion, And that thy lips may keep knowledge. ” Proverbs 5 : 1 - 2 KJV The Father’s wise admonition to His son “ My son, attend unto my wisdom “ suggests the acknowledgement of weird wisdom in the world. While the weird wisdom of this world is shrouded in wickedness, iniquity, selfishness, deception, obstinacy, and manipulation, the wise wisdom from the Father of light is unmistakably filled with watchfulness, integrity, selflessness, discretion, obedience, and meekness. Unfortunately, life’s daily practices, professionalism, partnership, and profiling exposes the hearts of man to this weird wisdom to the extent that it is almost impossible for anyone to escape side distractions. Notwithstanding, “ My son, attend unto my wisdom“ remains the only key to holding onto a contrite conscience in this polluted world. It simply takes an intentional watchfulness, integrity, selflessness, ...
