YOUR SLAVE GIRL??

Paul and Silas were on their way to the PLACE OF PRAYER.Wow what moments those were.Getting up from their magnetic beds,passing through the ATTRACTIVE streets..What joy,but they had to struggle I feel as we all do to get to the PLACE OF PRAYER.Paul and Silas have gone many times through those streets,to buy vegetables or to see some friends,but ONLY when they went to the Place of prayer they confronted a slave girl,a witch,a fortune-teller possesed by the Spirit of divination.

She told the truth"These men are the servants of the Most High God...!!"nothing wrong in that statement.Paul and Silas ofcourse were servants of the Most high God

Yes, there is nothing wrong in seeing a movie,there is nothing wrong in watching news,there is nothing wrong in....yup every thing is right...but they meet you only when you make those steps to the Place of prayer~~.Friend,let there be nothing "right" if it comes between you and the place of prayer.Paul cast out the demon from the slave girl!!

Will u succumb to that slave girl ,on those streets, where you walk towards the place of prayer??

LET THAT SLAVE GIRL BE OUT OF THAT STREET!!let that happen now,this moment,use your authority and ask God for His grace ,his strength to reach that sacred place..that place where the Lord pats on your shoulder,carries your burden,wipes your tear..where much more happens than what happens around you!!

Mr PAIN!!

I dont know whether you have heard of Mr Pain.The Bible also tells us only two verses about Mr Pain.His history is this...his mom bore him in pain like any other,the surprising fact is that the mom was very inclined to name him PAIN.If u hear his friends talking to him,one statement mite be"ey good morning Pain!!"While gossiping they mite say"there comes PAIN!!"..wat a life!!All around him he hears Pain!!
The holy scriptures does not stop there..Mr Pain decided one day to CALL on the name of YAHWEH(the God of Israel!!).HE didnt feel that God was around him while he was surrounded only by PAIN in every way,but in midst of that He, like we taking the phone and calling our friend,though not near us,lifted up His hands and voice and called on YAHWEH!!This is what he prayed
"Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain."..the verse goes on.."And God granted his request". The verse in 1chronicles 4..starts with one more truth!!

Jabez was more honorable than his brothers ...

I dont want to call Jabez(Mr.Pain) like that any more..but MR GAIN!!
are u surrounded by pain...ur pain can be a gain if u call NOW the name of JESUS CHRIST..Wow wat a powerful name..!!U mite not feel Him around you..but call on HIM!!

Call on Him...Let him change our PAIN to GAIN!!Don Moen sang...Wud u sing with him??Be MR GAIN!!
"I will sing,i will praise
even in my darkest hour thru the sorrow and the Pain
I will sing,I will praise
Lift my hands to honor you
Because your word is true
I will sing"

Jochebed!!!

Amram and Jochebed were so happy seeing the goodly child God gave them..They didn't even have time to name the child...The order in the land by Pharoah was to kill every male child..by drowning them in the River Nile..3months passed by..Jochebed couldn't contain it anymore..The neighbours may leak the news as their children must also have been a prey to pharoah's cruel order.The safest place she saw was Nile.If you look at Nile you can see many dead bodies of new born baby boys floating.Jochebed..she must have understood that.What else to do....She had tears just as every mama had!!

No one thing she did..

she got a papyrus basket for him and coated it with tar and pitch. Then she placed the child in it and put it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile.Nile is a safe place if the BABY is in that basket coated with tar and pitch.Dead bodies may be around..fear may grip,but the Baby will be safe in that basket Jochebed made..its that basket which the Pharaoh's daughter saw!!She must have seen many other babies..but the baby in the basket was special.

What is that issue the devil has targeted in your life..that goodly thing..Is it your education,or your job, your family,your finance..

Then come on be a jochebed,place that issue in that basket of prayers coated with the word of God and the blessed Spirit.GOD is faithful to bring up a MOSES in the very place the enemy issued an order to kill you..

"have we trials and temptations
is there trouble anywhere
we should never be discouraged
Take it to the Lord in prayer"

IS IT TOO LATE??

Mary and Martha asked their best friend to come urgently to their house...they have heard the saying,i guess,"a friend in need is a friend indeed"..

people also didnt worry much as they all knew this "intimate" relationship the man called Jesus had with this family.They all knew the Jesus who healed people..who gave hope and happiness to many..Now Lazarus is in the death bed and they expected the Lord to come,place His hands over lazarus and heal him...No,the messenger who gave the news to Jesus came back the same day..

Jesus didnt turn up..All of them atleast thought Jesus would be the "chief guest" in the funeral..No He didn't turn up..After 4 days the bethany sisters heard that Jesus is coming..Martha ran with complaints and thoughts she had.."if you were here.."After some minutes Mary who sat at the Master's feet,ifeel,for the first time reached a consensus with her Sister and repeated"Lord If you were here"..

But Jesus wept..(the shortest verse,but reverberates in POWER)..They took him to the grave..he asked them to roll the stone and We read,JESUS cried with a LOUD VOICE.."Lazarus,come out"..

The More you wait..the louder Jesus will shout,the mightier will be the miracle,the more will be His glory..ASk Sarah,Peter...everyone..They will shout bac to you

ITS NEVER TOO LATE FOR THE LORD!!
What is that issue where you have told the Lord and waiting for long..??Understand its never too late for Him to reveal His glory in that issue.

IS IT TOO LATE??
