'Call on me, let's talk' says the LORD




1 Chronicles:16.8
 Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done.


Exposition
Beloved in Christ, how often do you call on God? When do you normally call Him? Where do you call Him? And under what circumstances, do you call on Him?

Many times, we tend to turn to God only in our distress and depressed moods. We call only on Him when we need help from Him. We only know that God exists only when there's trouble. Should it be so?

Two exercises underlined in the text; Give thanks and tell the nations about Him. This goes a long way than just calling Him when you need Him. Calling on to God is mandatory, calling on to God is a disciplinary exercise. Tell others about your God.

Calling on God is you building that cordial relationship with Him. Calling on God is you making him familiar with everything you do. It's shouldn't only when you need Him. He is not a human to be called on in times of need. He is God, stop treating Him as an option.

Communicate with Him daily, hear Him speak then you know you have called on Him.

Prayer
LORD, in whose name I am who and where I am today, please LORD, Grant me the strength to be patient on calling you and waiting to hear from you in Jesus's Name.

Life without happiness is like a tree without leaves. Let's look at how we can be happy without restrictions. Be with those who rebuke you . I know this may sound weird but think about it.

They know what's inside you, but you know where you're going with it. The rebuke will only remember you you have somewhere going. Don't be sad when they do. Please Nobody  Your dream is in your mind. You don't owe anybody an explanation of its fulfilment. Yours is to believe and work towards achieving it. Don't consider what people say or think about your aims and visions for life. Work it out with those who believe in it. Be sinc...

'Cry out, I will answer' says the LORD

Exodus:22.23   If you do and they cry out to me, I will certainly hear their cry. Exposition Beloved in Christ, what causes you to cry? What reason do you have before crying? Ever heard or seen a widow or an orphan cry? That's the type of cry God needs to answer your plea. If you are able to cry out to the LORD, He will hear your cry. Crying to God doesn't necessarily mean wailing and yelling for all to see you cry in prayers. You can solemnly, and in deep thoughts converts your request into tears poured in your heart to God. That is the cry the Bible is talking about.  A cry of pain, a cry of complete surrender to Him, a cry that renders Him the only solution to the problem, a cry that gives Him no option than to answer. That is the cry the word of God is referring to. Our predecessors cried; David, Hannah, Moses, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Jesus Christ and many others, and God heard their cry. What is it you want to tell God? How long have you longed for it? Co...

The 3 Enemies of Christ

Living your life as a Christian doesn't mean you are on your own. Being under grace doesn't guarantee you access to continue living in sin.  1st Enemy : Anyone whose destiny is destruction.  This may sound ironic, but what it really means is that anyone who ends up living their life just to cause harm. Is an enemy of Christ. This is because it is the devil who came to steal, kill, and destroy. Your purpose for being alive shouldn't limit you to causing harm to people.  2nd Enemy:   Anyone whose god is their stomach.  How can your stomach be your god? Simple, anytime you put your stomach first above all priorities. Even when you're expected to fast, that's where you try remembering a befitting ailment. The little money you get all ends up in your stomach.  3rd Enemy: mindset on only earthly things.  We are living in a generation where your wealth defines your worth. We've forgotten about the existence of God, the Supreme being, and the maker of the un...
