Hand of God

    The hand is one of the most functioning parts of the body. We carry, hold, pick, and do many other things with it depending on the weight of the object. But how are sure God has hands? Well, my simple answer to that is that he that created hands, how can He not have hands?
   He definitely has! To be sure, the scripture says the when Jesus died and resurrected, He went straight to sit at the right hand of God. This means He has and He's got a left hand too. We are His image, a reflection of what He has.
    When we talk about any part of God, it signifies His presence. Each part have their functions, but His hand gives strength (Isaiah 41:10). When the hand of Lord is mentioned, it's either to win a battle, set captives free (Exodus 7:5), to create His fear in the heart of His people (Joshua 4:24), to give the wicked their rewards (Psalms 75:8).
   The Lord's hand follows those that spread the gospel(Acts 11:21) and so many other great works. Our God is good, merciful, loving, and mighty. He fight for his children and always against their oppressors and persecutors. His hand signifies that His presence is with a man anyone who tries to go against him will have to face the darkness that will come upon him (Acts 13:11). You can't afford to see His hand go against you.
   To be is child requires just your Faith in His Son Jesus Christ who died for your sins and gave you eternal life. When you believe and confess it, you are saved and the Lord's presence will always be with you. The Holy Spirit directs you. All things begin to work out for good if you can just believe.
   Though the hand of the Lord can't be seen with our physical eyes, but we'll see what it does. It is a thing to work and gain profit, but it takes the grace of God to eat the fruit of one's labor and be satisfied which is also evidence that the hand of the Lord is upon you (Ecclesiastes 2:24). It is a privilege to eat and drink from one's labor and only the Lord's hand can grant grace. All we have to do is to wait upon him and believe! May His hand always strengthen and be with and for us in Jesus name! Amen. SHALOM!!!

You Are Mary

The first Mary was not the only lady named MARY which was recorded in the Bible is found in the new testament. She was "a virgin", which means she wasn't the only one who was a virgin in her time, but she found favor with God and was chosen to bear the Holy seed of God. Mary, the highly favored, blessed among women and the Lord was with her. That was how she was seen by the Lord. Her assignment was to carry the seed of God, deliver a son, and He shall save His people, rule them and His kingdom is forever. Her question wasn't what's in it for me? It was HOW? What's the plan? The answer was the Holy Spirit will come upon you, the power of the Highest hover over you. Therefore, the child you bring to birth will be called Holy, Son of God. It's all planned by God, yours is to align. You are Mary, but whose seed are you carrying? Definitely not Christ Jesus. But what result will the seed you are carrying bring? Are you aligned to be chosen? Are you recept...

Wrap Ups

Endings are better than beginnings. Sticking to it is better than standing out ( Ecclesiastes 7:8; MSG). The end justifies the means and starting could be great, but there is nothing as fulfilling and satisfying as the wrapping up of a thing with strength and grace. It is better not to start anything at all than to give up halfway. If we must start a thing, then we must follow through to the end. It builds discipline, consistency, and focus. When a person sets out for a journey, the thing expected on the way can only be assumed but not accurate. Which makes the destination and finishing well a necessity for greatness and forging further. This year has been amazing and some many things were unexpected, but regardless of the emotions experienced, God is good! When we thought it was over and there was no way we will make it, He showed and made a way. The most important thing when we are wrapping up anything is Thanksgiving. It could have only been God. If only we c...

God's or Abraham's?

   The moment the word "children" appears, what comes to mind most the time is the result or outcome of a process. Especially when the psalmist was describing children in Psalms 127:3-5. My eyes were open to seeing results as children. Definitely, children have fathers. Let not go into defining children ( you can always read my post on CHILDREN), But my concern is that sometimes we (Christians) are referred to as Abraham's offspring and at the same time, we are called the children of God. How are we children of God and also Abraham's? It is possible that we are the offspring of both God and Abraham (His friend). We are considered as Abraham's offspring when we believe (Galatians 3:6-8), because the first to exercise Faith in God was Abraham and we are called his children because we are doing exactly what he did which was counted to him as righteousness(John 8:39) - FAITH . So we (believers) are the re-produced version(children) of the Father of Faith - Abraham...
