Our God!

Our God is magnificent.
Praise to man is perfume, and anyone who eats perfume will die
However, Praise to God is his food
So,you can never, we can never be God, never, because his ways are not our ways and his thoughts are not our thoughts, as far as the heaven is from the earth, that is the how far we would have to cover to understand His ways and thoughts.

Lessons from Family devotion!!!

1. Any work that would not allow one to rest is a bad work.

2. When we go out of the purpose of our lives, that is, do something else apart from what God assigned us, even if what we do seems right, we are out, we are out; nobody sent John the Baptist to talk to Herod about his infidelity, he was sent to proclaim Jesus as the Messiah, s'est fini.

3. Never make hasty decisions or oaths, Herod did and regretted it.

4. Herodias had an unforgiving spirit, that's bad.

5. Watch what you say, some troubles are really avoidable.
You don't have to talk all the time.

Christ Jesus

According to Luke 1:31, it was the angel that gave the name of Jesus to his mother, from this I learn that all my children (that is, the ones I ll give birth to) already have their names written down in heaven; so, all I an to do is ask God for their names even before their conception.
This tells me God is in charge of my babies even before I got married and this also teaches me that once I hand them over to God even before conception, God takes full control if their lives regardless of what is happening.

From Luke 1:13, Zechariah, the priest had prayed for so long for a child even till his old age but a funny thing happens in verse 20 of Luke 1, when God finally answers his prayers, he can't believe it and I learnt two(2) things:
1. Whether you believe or not, what God has set to do in your life at a certain time, He would do it.
2. Most times, we wait on God regarding an issue, then, when God rises and answers, we don't believe.
For example, you have been asking God for a car, because its too stressful taking a bus, or your mates are riding and you are still using your 'legedi benz', or your family is drumming its necessity in your ears every blessed day.
   Now, this fateful day, you are on your way to work, this really nice car splashes dirty water on you from yesterday remains of the downpour. 'Whaaat, you are about to go haywire when someone steps out of the car, walking towards your direction, in your mind, you are fuming, 'Imagine, because I don't have a car', a very long hiss is heard.
By the time, the person gets close to you, you are about to rain curses, when you discover this is your long lost friend(lost, I mean contacts, forget the social media), instead of the curses, its inexpressible sounds,' Whaaaat, OMG, Ahhhh, Ohhh' and then, you exchange cards, can't be late for work.   
When you meet at your break time, you find out he's the current managing director of one of your dream cars. Glory be to God, he's a generous giver, for apology sake, you are given a new car, you can't believe it, you ask a billion times, 'Are you sure, is it really mine, you must be joking, please, I hope this is not a joke, please stop, we are no longer kids, no pranks... You are practically dumbstruck, you can't believe it,'Abi, Is this 419? Just like that?' You feel like you are in a dream too good to be true.
Well, that's the way God works my brother, my sister, father and mother, just be grateful(however, don't forget to pay your tithes *smiles*)

From Luke 1:5, I discovered that the birth of John popularly known as John the Baptist was a that of different lineages and personalities
His Father, Zechariah: The priestly line of Abijah
His Mother, Elizabeth: The priestly line of Aaron
He would walk under the spirit and Power of Elijah.

Luke 1:6 shows me that 'And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.' How?
Let's not forget the fact that Elizabeth was considered barren, imagine, the mockery, the shame, the accusations, etc., yet, they were said to be blameless and at that time, Jesus had not come, so still the law, how were they labeled to have walked in ALL of God's commandments?

Luke 1:41 Wait o, just by the baby leaping for joy in the mother's womb, the mother was filled with the Holyspirit, #supernatural...

Verse 80 of Chapter 1, The Book of Luke John had the wilderness experience, what Jesus experienced for 40days was probably a lifestyle for John.
Oh, how Blessed is it to be the cousin, fore runner, light bearer, advertisement of the saviour of the world, JESUS!!!

Superhuman

The most powerful thing given to man, that no one can take away including God is the power of will, that is, Choice. It is extremely powerful...
  It is much powerful than the strength, agility, speed, wisdom, invisibility powers of superheroes;
it's a power that when accompanied with determination, doggedness, focus, you can't imagine the explosive outcome with massive results either in the positive or negative light, you choose.

Jesus had a choice when he said,'Father, please, let this cup pass over me', he could have done whatever he wanted but this is where he made a wise choice by surrendering his will to the right master, lest we forget that every choice has its consequence, that is, with this delicate gift comes a huge weight of responsibility which a great number of people seem ignorant of.
 You can't eat your cake and have it, that is a law of the universe placed by God and it can't be broken because it's no respecter of anyone, neither the poor nor the rich and this is because God is no respecter of man.

The Lord said,"I place before you life and death, however, I advice you, choose life", when God says this, I believe He knows what He's saying because He has been around for a long time, actually, since the inception of the world, besides, He's the all wise knowing God. So, Why don't you give him a chance, lest we forget, it's all for your good.

He says,"My thoughts and plans for you are of good and to bring you to your expected future." So, help yourself out.

Have a Blessed day!

Judge not

"He touched my arm, I gave him a stinker look he won't forget for the rest of his life.
Who does he think he is, does it look like I am in the same class with him? Imagine..."

Meanwhile, all he wanted was a cold satchet of water, he had been working with his men parking the dirt from our house...

The Bible said,"Judge not and you will not be judged; condemn not and you will not be condemned; forgive and you will be forgiven. " - Luke 6:37
