Cry aloud for help

 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭14:29-31‬ ‭KJV


I want to share a very brief word for someone today. The Bible text above illustrates what we face in our lives on earth as Christians 

First, we start up our Christian journey with the word of God that he has forgiven us, all things works together for good, we are the apple of God's eyes, no weapon fashioned against us shall prosper...the lines are fallen for us in pleasant places.. And some other scriptural promises...

Then suddenly.... The wind of life blows us off our feet. We quickly forget God's word and fear takes over. We lost the faith we once had in His word and begin to struggle to keep up with our strength and wisdom. Even with this we notice we are still sinking. Life doesn't seem to work out. Life become terribly full of struggles and labour. No more grace that cancels labour.

What should we do?

Like Peter, we ought to cry out , Lord, save me! Silence will only keep you down. At this point, we must become nothing for God to help us. We must let go our pride and certifications. We must dismantle from our high estate. We must come low to receive grace. Only the lowly can be exalted. The proud and haughty will be brought down. We must cry out with a loud voice to make it clear that we are helpless and need help.

We must forget about that brother, sister, friend, father or mother that looks like an alternative. We must fully trust in the saving power of God's word. Only then will he stretch forth his saving hands and deliver us.

Finally, we must be open to receive his hands of mercy. If you draw near to God, he will draw near to you. We must willingly accept his words and precepts

We must draw near to his mercy so he can reach us. His hands are willing to reach us if we are ready to hold on to his hands. It's time to cry, LORD SAVE ME.

I believe this has blessed someone today, no matter what you are going through, remember Peter in the sea while drowning, he screamed in total dependance on Jesus saying Lord,save me. Would you cry to Jesus today?

Valentine or Violent-Time (Part 3)

Over the years, some religious folks have defined and classified February 14 as the devil's day. They argue that the Valentine was not a Saint, and even if he was, it was not proper to keep a day to remember him. By God's grace, I have subjected myself to regular study of the scriptures and godly books in several libraries especially the e-libraries. My philosophy has been guided by the knowledge acquired from comparative and HOLYGHOST inspired study. If God is not against Christmas, and Easter, then why should He be against Valentine's Day? Many of us have known so much that we have created our own "Newer Testament" after the new testament of the Holy Bible. Is God against celebrations? Definitely, No! Jesus visited a wedding in Cana, he was at most Jewish feasts, and He organized a feast by feeding, on one occasion, 5,000 men. Our God loves feasting. He loves to see us celebrate. But all feastings must be done in Holiness in order to be approved ...

God bless you richly for your contribution When Isaac asked Esau his son to go and prepare a delicious meal of venison for him to eat so that he (Isaac) may bless him, Isaac's wife Rebekah heard it and took advantage of the distance between their tents and the field where Esau the hunter would get the bush meat.

OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL - CARE FOR THE BRETHREN-30/04/2014

" CARE FOR THE BRETHREN " In today’s message, we have been asked to memorise   Philippians 4:19 : " But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus ” Today's reading was taken from  Romans 15:25-27  and the Bible reading in one year is   Revelation 8 to Revelation 11 and Psalm 93 (Adeboye, 2014). Quoted below is today's message for your input "Apostle Paul in the Bible reading for today, teaches us one missing ingredient of true discipleship in today’s contemporary Church; which is the ministry of care. Despite the great anointing with which Apostle Paul was ministering to both Jews and Gentiles, it is amazing to read that the ministry of care was not absent from his vocation as a preacher of the gospel. It is also interesting to note that the lives of the early apostles of Jesus Christ were not only in alignment with the teachings of Jesus Christ but were also in alignment with their own teachi...
