Lawful Life

  “ This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” Joshua 1 : 8 - 9 KJV The right perspective of liberty is freedom from oppression and right to free decisions and the dignity of life in any system. Whenever this liberty is misconstrued as licentiousness or lawlessness, the system becomes unsafe. Invariably, a lawful life is designed for a guided enjoyment of all resources within the system, with a careful escape from the interference of evil and wickedness within the system.

Unfortunately, we are aptly surrounded by a system of people, methods, and policies breathing out weigh words. When one is getting excited with pockets of inspiration and encouraging incidents, the enemy or his agents understand how to serve a dosage of weigh words, just sufficient to cause destabilization and disorientation. Therefore, e...

Prevailing Promise

  “No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you.” ‭‭Joshua‬ ‭1:5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Amidst consistent struggles in the jungle of life, it is always easy for anyone to forget or misplace the most important necessities for survival. Promises from the most reliable persons get easily frustrated, not necessarily on the account of a deficiency in reliability. Sometimes, it is just because the game in the jungle is simply about the survival of the fittest. Notwithstanding, the prevailing promise is really not about prevention of the fight from aliens; it is simply about proscription of the stand of enemies against the purpose of God, as long as believers remain with the Lord. Unfortunately, we are easily tempted to move away from God’s prevailing promise. And like Joshua received the admonition to be strong and courageous, believers need the same courage to stand with God, especially when it is ...
