THE CAVE OF WITHDRAWAL PART II

Do you remember how you felt when you were younger and your birthday approached? You were excited and anxious. You knew you would receive gifts and other special treats. But some things would be a surprise. Birthdays combined surprise and anticipation, and so does faith! Faith is the conviction on past experience that God's new and fresh surprise will surely be ours. Two words describe our faith: confidence and certainty. These two qualities need a secur… Continue

“CUSTOMERS ARE ALWAYS RIGHT!”

Dearly Beloved,
“CUSTOMERS ARE ALWAYS RIGHT!”
“And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all...” (2 Timothy 2:24 NKJV).
Sequel to my wife’s abrupt disengagement from service in her workplace, we started a frozen foods business in a small shop in the front of our home. Any time she is busy in the kitchen or not at home, and I am less busy at home, I become the sales man in the shop. I have had a lot of experiences from this. There is this axiom that says, “Customers… Continue

OVERCOMING INFIDELITY

A spouse's unfaithfulness is one of the most painful experiences anyone can have in life. Everyone involved feels betrayed, used, abandoned, and very angry when they discover that their spouse has had an affair. How do you overcome these feelings and move on to a better marriage?!

Some who have experienced rape, physical abuse, sexual abuse of their children, an

THE ROD OF CORRECTION

Dearly Beloved, THE ROD OF CORRECTION “Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; the rod of correction will drive it far from him” (Proverbs 22:15 NKJV). There is a trend in the western world that is gradually gaining ground in the developing world: children should not be disciplined because they have their own different world and right. This trend has made many children to go astray and our society is becoming worse and worse every day. The pro child right people will readily support thi… Continue

GOOD MANNERS

Dearly Beloved, GOOD MANNERS “A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold” (Proverbs 22:1 NIV). In the aspect of daily quotes in my Internet ministry, I recently posted a quote by Fanny Jackson Coppin that reads thus: “Good manners will often take people where neither money nor education will take them.” People started reacting to the quote barely an hour after its posting. The argument was that it is difficult for good manners to do such a thing… Continue

THE SAME NUMBER OF BRICKS WITHOUT THE SUPPLY OF STRAW

Dearly Beloved,
THE SAME NUMBER OF BRICKS WITHOUT THE SUPPLY OF STRAW
“You are no longer to supply the people with straw for making bricks; let them go and gather their own straw. But require them to make the same number of bricks as before; don't reduce the quota” (Exodus 5:7-8 NIV).
One of the cruelest treatments of human beings by other fellow human beings was recorded in Exodus Chapter Five. The Egyptians were maltreating the people of Israel because the former saw the latter as… Continue

FORGIVE GOD! (Part 5)

Dearly Beloved, FORGIVE GOD! (Part 5) “When I refused to confess my sin, I was weak and miserable, and I groaned all day long. Day and night your hand of discipline was heavy on me. My strength evaporated like water in the summer heat. Finally, I confessed all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide them. I said to myself, ‘I will confess my rebellion to the LORD.’ And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone” (Psalm 32:3-5 NLT). This is the concluding part of this message. To say that there are n… Continue

FORGIVE GOD! (Part 4)

Dearly Beloved, FORGIVE GOD! (Part 4) “Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.... For a thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night” (Psalm 90:2, 4 NIV). “We know that in all things, God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28 NIV). This part will discuss two important doctrines about God - the providen… Continue

THE CAVE OF WITHDRAWAL

It can be a crushing experience to give your very best and still fall short. Elijah had been discouraged with his inability to effect revival in God's people. He fled Jezebel and traveled south nearly two hundred miles to Horeb where he lodged in a cave on the mountain side.
Scripture tells us that hope deferred makes the heart sick ( Proverbs 13:12 ).… Continue

FORGIVE GOD! (Part 3)

Dearly Beloved, FORGIVE GOD! (Part 3) “The LORD's anger burned against Uzzah because of his irreverent act; therefore God struck him down and he died there beside the ark of God. Then David was angry because the LORD's wrath had broken out against Uzzah, and to this day that place is called Perez Uzzah” (2 Samuel 6:7-8 NIV). In the second part of this message last week, five reasons were highlighted why people may get angry with God. In this third part, how people handle their anger will be disc… Continue

FORGIVE GOD! (Part 2)

Dearly Beloved,
Expectedly, there are both positive and negative reactions to the first part of this message last week. I have admitted in that first part that the title of the message sounds somehow blasphemous. However, I will implore you to be patient and follow this serialized message to the last part and discover the conclusion of the original author of the book that is being adapted and my own conclusion as well.
Here is the second part of the adapted message:
FORGIVE GOD! (Pa… Continue

I Went To The Mountains

Recently while vacationing with my son and his family in his motor home… high up in the mountains…overlooking the Tennessee River, I experienced a sense of peace, tranquility, and a calm that all was well in my world. My home, that I was blessed with…is a three story house, and it can be very hot without air-conditioning. Two of my units were stuck during the storm, and it rendered my home hot and muggy. While waiting for the claim to be approved, a vacation in the mountains was a welcome relie… Continue

FORGIVE GOD!

Dearly Beloved, Apart from the daily quotes aspect of my Internet ministry where I freely use other people’s direct quotes, for the first time in the seven-year-old ministry, I am adapting another person’s message for my weekly devotional messages. I recently read a book titled “Forgive God!” written by Rev. Dr. Fred Deegbe. I was greatly touched by the book, and by the kind permission of the author, I decided to adapt the message of the book in serialized messages. (All the direct quotations ar… Continue

THE WIDOW’S MITES

Dearly Beloved, THE WIDOW’S MITES “And He looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury, and He saw also a certain poor widow putting in two mites. So He said, ‘Truly I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all; for all these out of their abundance have put in offerings for God, but she out of her poverty put in all the livelihood that she had’” (Luke 21:1-4 NKJV). Jesus Christ was sitting in a place in the temple in Jerusalem where He could see people placing t… Continue

YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

Dear Beloved, YOU ARE NOT ALONE! "I hear many whispering, 'Terror on every side! Report him! Let's report him!' All my friends are waiting for me to slip… But the LORD is with me like a mighty warrior…" (Jeremiah 20:10-11a NIV). Although Jeremiah was called by God, yet his own relatives, friends and other prophets did not like him. In fact, no-one wanted to listen to his message. They hated him because of their disobedience and idolatry (Jeremiah 11:18-23; 20:1f; 26:7f; 33:1; 37: 16-21). That… Continue

Don't Focus On The Past

When we focus on our past, our hurts, and our pain; it leaves little time for forgiveness and a new start. The future holds doors to be opened, and new friends to meet, love and help. Validating our pain and forgiving our past is the answer to a better relationship with the Lord. It brings peace, success, and happiness. Continue

DO NOT DESPISE YOUR SMALL BEGINNING

Dearly Beloved,
DO NOT DESPISE YOUR SMALL BEGINNING
“Do not despise this small beginning, for the eyes of the Lord rejoice to see the work begin, to see the plumbline in the hand of Zerubbabel” (Zechariah 4:10 TLB).
David was wandering from place to place as he tried to escape from King Saul that was seeking to kill him. In spite of the fact that he has been secretly anointed to be the next king of Israel with outstanding qualities and performances that made him stood out for the… Continue

HELP FROM THE MOUNTAINS?

Dearly Beloved, HELP FROM THE MOUNTAINS? “I look to the mountains; where will my help come from? My help will come from the LORD, who made heaven and earth” (Psalm 121:1-2 TEV). Poets and writers usually use the events around them, their environments and even sometimes their circumstances to compose their messages. The exact background of Psalm 121 is not known. There is the argument that it was written by David probably when his life was in danger in the high places of the field, and as a resul… Continue
