Nothing LESS Than God’s PRESENCE: That’s All You NEED Today

Nothing LESS Than God’s PRESENCE: That’s All You NEED Today – To Make Your Difference! 

“As the deer PANTS for the water brooks, So PANTS my soul for You, O God. 2 My soul THIRSTS for God, for the LIVING God. When shall I come and APPEAR before God? . . .” Psalms 42/NKJV. 

For the FULNESS of unspeakable, thriving and rejuvenating Joy and God’s pleasures – NOTHING LESS than His PRESENCE, is all that’s needed today to make life a living worth – meaningful and purposeful. That’s how to enjoy being blessed and seated in the heavenly places at the right hand of Father God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“Thou wilt shew me the PATH OF LIFE: 

in thy PRESENCE is FULNESS OF JOY; 

at thy RIGHT HAND there are PLEASURES for evermore” Psalms 16:11. 

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ . . . 20 which he wrought in Christ, when He RAISED him from the dead, and set him at his own RIGHT HAND in the HEAVENLY PLACES” Ephesians 1:3, 20. 

“And hath RAISED US UP TOGETHER, and MADE US SIT TOGETHER in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 2:6. 

It’s time to STOP RUNNING after men to secure God’s PRESENCE; and you must know that no matter the class, status, title and decorum of any man, none should stand between you and God. No more should you let any man of any worth or status, become your in-between, for there’s no other NAME under heaven GIVEN among men – except Jesus Christ – by which, our SALVATION from God is to come to realisation and actualisation. He’s our ONLY mediator, advocate and justifier with God. 

“Neither is there SALVATION in any other: for there is NONE OTHER NAME under heaven given among men, whereby we MUST be SAVED” Acts 4:12. 

“For there is one God, and one MEDIATOR between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” 1 Timothy 2:5. 

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED by faith, we have PEACE with God THROUGH our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 BY WHOM also we have ACCESS by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2. 

Moses knew best, hence, he refused anything less than God’s PRESENCE. That’s all that was needed and is needed in today’s changing and challenging world and times. [Exodus 33]. 

Remarkably, our Lord Jesus Christ in humanity, though He was ANOINTED to carry on the Kingdom cause for which He came, NEEDED also, the abounding love PRESENCE of our Father God to keep Him keeping on. A great while before the day is dawn, He’s taken a posture where He would be to fellowship, knowing that fellowship enhanced His relationship with Father God. How much more could we need God now than ever.  

“And in the MORNING, RISING UP A GREAT WHILE BEFORE DAY, he went out, and departed into a SOLITARY PLACE, and there PRAYED [FELLOWSHIP]” Mark 1:35/Emphasis mine. 

“How God ANOINTED Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; FOR GOD WAS WITH HIM” Acts 10:38. 

Much more, God had promised to be with us always as long as we are in the path of life that is of His WILL, in His WORD and in His Kingdom causes. He is to be with us until the end of the age. And while He’s with us, He will deliver us from the present wickedness and evil that’s in the world that’s being orchestrated by the enemy and cohorts of your faith in the grace. 

“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: AND, LO, I AM WITH YOU ALWAY, even unto the end of the world. Amen” Matthew 28:19-20. 

“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, [4] who gave himself for our sins, that He might DELIVER us from this PRESENT EVIL WORLD, according to the WILL of God and our Father: [5] to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5. 

Crave for God’s presence today I plead with you, in order to enjoy His abounding grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

Blessed regards in the grace.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Thou wilt shew me the PATH OF LIFE: 

in thy PRESENCE is FULNESS OF JOY; 

at thy RIGHT HAND there are PLEASURES for evermore” Psalms 16:11. 

“. . . Then Moses said to the Lord, “See, You say to me, ‘Bring up this people.’ But You have not let me know whom You will send with me. Yet You have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found grace in My sight.’ 13 Now therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, SHOW ME NOW YOUR WAY, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider that this nation is Your people.” 14 And He said, “MY PRESENCE WILL GO WITH YOU, AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST.” 15 Then he said to Him, “IF YOUR PRESENCE DOES NOT GO WITH US, DO NOT BRING US UP FROM HERE. 16 For how then will it be known that Your people and I have found grace in Your sight, except You go with us? So we shall be separate, Your people and I, from all the people who are upon the face of the earth.” 17 So the Lord said to Moses, “I will also do this thing that you have spoken; for you have found grace in My sight, and I know you by your name . . .” Exodus 33:12-17NKJV. 

“And he goeth up into a mountain, and CALLETH unto him WHOM he would: and they came unto him. 14 And he ORDAINED twelve, THAT THEY SHOULD BE WITH HIM, and that he might send them forth to preach, 15 and to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils” Mark 3:13-15. 

“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9. 

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, TO THEM WHO ARE THE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified” Romans 8:28-30.

WELCOME TO EMMANUEL MONTH – DECEMBER 2024: MONTH OF ENACTING – “EMMANUEL – THE LOVE OF GOD WITH US” – IN CHRIST JESUS!

“That Christ may DWELL in your hearts by faith; that ye, BEING ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN LOVE, 18 may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 and TO KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST, WHICH PASSETH [TRANSCENDS] KNOWLEDGE [SENSES], that ye might be FILLED with all the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:17-19/Emphasis Mine.

I sincerely welcome you to the EMMANUEL month – DECEMBER 2024; It is the Month to experience the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus, that transcends the reasoning of the senses [see, hear, feel/touch, smell and taste] – that’s the LOVE OF GOD WITH US that’s beyond sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation; and it’s the month of experiencing, expressing and enacting the genuity of – THE LOVE OF GOD THAT’S BEYOND KNOWLEDGE – in Christ Jesus that’s dwelling WITH us as IN us and FOR us. So therefore, under God and in God’s divine names in Christ Jesus, I hereby WELCOME you with the hearts of love in Christ Jesus stead, to join me in EMMANUEL MONTH – month DECEMBER 2024 that’s entitled “THE LOVE OF GOD WITH US” in Christ Jesus; it is the month for us to KNOW THE LOVE OF GOD THAT TRANSCEND SENSE KNOWLEDGE as we do life and godly living in the Month with this knowing and understanding that it is also:

THE COMMEMORATION AND CELEBRATIONS OF GOD’S LOVE IN CHRIST JESUS AND HIS REDEMPTION CAUSE ON EARTH TO ALL MANKIND.

I am fully persuaded and excited, knowing and understanding by God’s enabling grace that the month DECEMBER as entitled – “THE LOVE OF GOD WITH US” in Christ Jesus, is beyond the beyond human sense knowledge. And it is about EMMANUEL, the God WITH US and the God IN US and the God FOR US, which is the person of JESUS THE CHRIST – The MESSIAH, The SAVIOUR and The LORD – that’s BORN in our HEARTS by the Holy Spirit that’s given and lavished to us, in order to express the God’s love that’s beyond knowledge – senses in our being.

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because THE LOVE OF GOD is shed [lavished] abroad in our HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN UNTO US. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ DIED for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, in that, while we were yet SINNERS, Christ DIED for us” Romans 5:5-8.

The Month DECEMBER 2024, as we all know, is the Month TWELVE (12) of the Julian and Gregorian Calendar Months. It happen to be the last in the numerical Monthly count of the yearly numbering. Besides this, there are other indications of the number TWELVE. Herein are few for your perusal:

** The number 12 is ubiquitous — it’s the number of months in a year, hours on a clock face and the number of members on a typical court jury.

** The number 12 is mentioned often in the New Testament of the Bible, such as Jesus’ selection of 12 apostles. That choice was deliberate, with each apostle representing one of the 12 tribes of Israel. In the most of cases number 12 is actually a representation of authority and perfection.

** This number can also represent the CHURCH and FAITH in general. It can be also used as a symbol of divine rule, actually the symbol of the perfect government of God.

Month DECEMBER is a unique month in many ways and respect in terms of been the twelve month as mentioned and described above. It’s also a gracious month to enhance the goodness and BLESSEDNESS of the BEAUTY of God’s work in humanity as per the Scriptural writ of the month DECEMBER as theme and entitled:

“Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall CALL his name EMMANUEL, which being interpreted is, GOD WITH US” Matthew 1:23.

“For unto you is born THIS DAY in the city of David a SAVIOUR, which is Christ the Lord. 12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 14 Glory to God in the highest, AND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN” Luke 2:11-14.

“Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was JESUS THE CHRIST” Matthew 16:20.

Upon the basis of the SCRIPTURES above, I therefore say to you in the name of the Lord God, that by – THIS DAY – BEING TODAY, LET EMMANUEL – THE LOVE OF GOD IN JESUS THE CHRIST – The MESSIAH, THE SAVIOUR AND LORD GOD – BE BORN IN YOUR HEARTS as you do life to live godly as themed:

“EMMANUEL! THE LOVE OF GOD WITH US”

The theme as stated is of EMMANUEL – The GOD WITH US. For EMMANUEL indicates – THE LOVE OF GOD BEYOND KNOWLEDGE that’s WITH US – and thus signifies God dwelling (or had come to dwell) with humanity – thereby creates a new passage for a new kind of RELATIONSHIP and FELLOWSHIP between us and Him that’s built on love and the love of the Fatherhood of God, making a family in Christ Jesus. For we lost this RELATIONSHIP and FELLOWSHIP in the Eden of Adam; but God in His LOVE at the Birth of JESUS THE CHRIST, has RESTORED this awesome FELLOWSHIP to enhance our RELATIONSHIP In Him, which was and is made possible, in the CAUSE of His REDEMPTION for us in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 of whom THE WHOLE FAMILY IN HEAVEN AND EARTH IS NAMED, 16 that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man” Ephesians 3:14-16.

God in humanity is JESUS in name; while CHRIST depicts Him as – the EMMANUEL, the MESSIAH, the SAVIOUR, the REDEEMER and the HOLY ONE of Israel for His cause on earth for human redemption.

We’ve been called into this FELLOWSHIP of GOD’S LOVE in Christ Jesus, so that we might enjoy God and the heavens RELATIONSHIP on earth again; so we can say that as “HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD” and can joyfully ask of HIS WILL to be done in our domain on this side of heaven call the earth, as it’s written in the Holy Writ of 1 John 4:17 and Matthew 6:10.

“Herein is our LOVE made perfect, that we may have BOLDNESS in the day of judgment: because as HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD” 1 John 4:17.

“Thy KINGDOM come. THY WILL BE DONE IN EARTH, AS IT IS IN HEAVEN” Matthew 6:10.

This then is the REASON for the SEASON, the DECEMBER mood that comes along with CHRISTMAS which is:

 “The Yearly and Annual COMMEMORATION and CELEBRATION of God’s LOVE in Christ Jesus and His REDEMPTION CAUSE on EARTH” for the good of ALL mankind.

And it is as we EXPLORE His LOVE in His PRESENCE in this RELATIONSHIP and FELLOWSHIP of JESUS – THE CHRIST, who is our God EMMANUEL, we can then ENACT Him in IN us, FOR us and WITH us; and when our PATH OF LIFE is ordered alright in this essence of God EMMANUEL, we can then enjoy to the FULNESS, the abounding  PLEASURES of God in His grace and BLESSEDNESS forevermore. Amen. [Psalms 16:11; Psalms 65:11-13/NLT; 1 Corinthians 1:9].

Therefore today, as in this Month DECEMBER that prelude the CHRISTMAS season, let’s take advantage of the indwelling LOVE of God in EMMANUEL – JESUS the Christ, in order to enjoy continuously, God’s presence in FELLOWSHIP and in our path of life to keep us thriving, blossoming and glowing with His pleasures in life and godliness.

Therefore Today, THIS DAY, I pray that EMMANUEL – THE LOVE OF GOD WITH US – in the personal of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, comes to be in your life, in this Month DECEMBER, this season that prelude the Christmas, in Jesus’ precious name, Amen.

Be BLESSED in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.

ABIDING IN GOD’S PRESENCE

By Leave a Comment

ABIDING IN GOD’S PRESENCE: IT’S ABIDING IN HIS WORD AND ABIDING IN HIS LOVE!

“If ye ABIDE in me, and my WORDS ABIDE in you, ye shall ASK WHAT YE WILL, and it shall be DONE unto you . . . 10 If ye KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS, ye shall ABIDE in MY LOVE; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and ABIDE IN HIS LOVE” John 15:7, 10.

It’s our moment of time to abide in God’s LOVE and His WORD in order to enjoy his presence; for it’s our PATH for the FULLNESS of JOY and PLEASURE for EVERMORE. For ABIDING in God’s presence, is to ABIDE in His WORD and to ABIDE in His LOVE – and there’s NOTHING else MORE or LESS to it.

“Thou wilt shew me the PATH OF LIFE: in thy PRESENCE is FULNESS of joy; at thy RIGHT HAND there are PLEASURES for evermore” Psalms 16:11.

Moses demands from  the Father God to show him “THE WAY” to life. In other words, “THE PATH” to true life that makes one to THRIVE, be FRUITFUL, be FULFILLED meaningfully in the FULLNESS of God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS.

“. . . 12 And Moses said unto the Lord, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight. 13 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, SHEW ME NOW THY WAY, THAT I MAY KNOW THEE, THAT I MAY FIND GRACE IN THY SIGHT: and consider that this nation is thy people. 14 And he said, My PRESENCE shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. 15 And he said unto him, If thy PRESENCE go not with me, carry us not up hence. . .” Exodus 33.

And as Moses did experience, we need to have and enjoy the PATH of life that brings about the FULLNESS of God’s joy and the PLEASURES that is evermore; and must determine with gracious hearts to abide in His presence.

And to ABIDE in God’s PRESENCES is to – ABIDE IN HIS WORD AND IN HIS LOVE – nothing more and Nothing less. This is the PATH and the HOW for an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory to thrive, blossom, refresh and rejuvenate, in God’s gracious presence in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And the knowing that we are called to a place of FELLOWSHIP in Christ Jesus, in order to enhance our redeemed RELATIONSHIP, should make us wants to abide in His presence by His WORD and His LOVE, for He’s a FAITHFUL God to keep us in His BLESSEDNESS.

“God is FAITHFUL [He is reliable, trustworthy and ever true to His promise—He can be depended on], and through Him you were CALLED into FELLOWSHIP with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9/Amplified.

“FAITHFUL and absolutely trustworthy is He who is calling you [to Himself for your salvation], and He will do it [He will fulfill His call by making you holy, guarding you, watching over you, and protecting you as His own]” 1 Thessalonians 5:24/Amplified.

“Let us seize and hold tightly the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is reliable and trustworthy and FAITHFUL [to His word]” Hebrews 10:23/Amplified.

Therefore, ABIDE in God’s LOVE and His WORD in order to enjoy his PRESENCE – it’s your path for the FULLNESS of JOY AND PLEASURE for EVERMORE in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“. . . 12 And Moses said unto the Lord, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me.

“. . . 4 ABIDE in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it ABIDE in the vine; no more can ye, except ye ABIDE in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that ABIDETH in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If ye ABIDE in me, and my WORDS ABIDE in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. 9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall ABIDE in my LOVE; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you . . .” John 15:1-16.

AN HOUR IN GOD’S PRESENCE

By Leave a Comment

AN HOUR IN GOD’S PRESENCE: ENDEAVOUR TO PRACTICE IT DAILY – YOU WILL NEVER REGRET IT!

“And in the morning, RISING UP A GREAT WHILE before day, he went out, and departed into a SOLITARY PLACE, and there PRAYED” Mark 1:35.

CAN’T YOU WATCH WITH ME FOR AN HOUR? That is, can’t you spend at least an HOUR in Father God’s PRESENCE with Me? That was the question that Jesus did ask the early followers called Disciples who later became Apostles. And can you today say yes to same question as it’s written:

“. . . 38 Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. STAY HERE AND WATCH WITH ME.” 39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and PRAYED, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.” 40 Then He came to the disciples and found them SLEEPING, and said to Peter, “WHAT! COULD YOU NOT WATCH WITH ME ONE HOUR? 41 Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” . . .” Matthew 26:36-56.

The above subject questioning of Christ Jesus, reminds me of my early and still now Christian FAITH set motto, that have served as my PRAYER guildrails, daily reminder and guidance through the years – it’s been a default of disciplinary measures in helping and keeping me to be alert and awake in enjoying God’s PRESENCE daily – and the statement motto reads:

“SEVEN PRAYERLESS DAYS MAKES ONE WEAK”

My dear fellow Believer’s in the grace, it’s important you know for sure the implications of the statement – SEVEN PRAYERLESS DAYS THAT MAKES ONE WEAK – and one act to note about the statement is this: our fellowship with Father God through the act of prayers to enhance our relationship with Him, will be weakened in the faith.  That’s why, any acclaimed Believers in Christ, who can’t spend at least – an hour in Father God’s presence a whole day, is prone to fall into diverse temptations knowingly or unknowingly. When one of Jesus Disciples [Apostle Peter to be precised], couldn’t WATCH and PRAY for an hour with the Lord, he was prone to fall into trouble, because the FLESH rules kick-in and he made a wrong judgment of the spiritual attitude to a challenging incidence. He did the unexpected thing – by cutting off one called Malchus ears with the sword with a slight provocation [Matthew 26:51-53; John 18:10]. If he did watch for an hour with Jesus Christ in Father God presence, he would have known His mind about matters concerning Christ and their faith in the kingdom. And many are guilty as such in many various ways today.

The consequential results of not watching for examples are these: Peter cut Malchus ears, later denied Jesus; others hid themselves as many does today when questioned if they knew Jesus Christ. Adam and Eve hid themselves too from God – remember that? and many same like challenging matters that many have avoided instead of standing up and contending for their FAITH toward God, in Christ Jesus. [Romans 5:1-2; 1 Peter 5:8-9; Jude 1:3-4].

Will you WATCH FOR AN HOUR at least in a day in Father God’s presence, as a schedule in your PATH OF LIFE? For therein is the FULNESS of joy and PLEASURE forevermore. For an HOUR In God’s PRESENCE, makes life an essence that’s WORTH living, in advancing in the Kingdom cause and in keeping the enemy and cohorts at bay.

It’s a CHOICE to make your PATH OF LIFE in God’s PRESENCE, in order to bring forth your FULLNESS OF JOY and PLEASURE FOR EVERMORE in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK: An hour in God’s PRESENCE – make it an ESSENCE for your well being in life and godliness. For It’s your path of life for your fullness of joy and pleasure for ever more. [Psalms 16:11].

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Thou wilt shew me the PATH OF LIFE: in thy PRESENCE is FULNESS of JOY; at thy RIGHT HAND there are PLEASURES for EVERMORE” Psalms 16:11.

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.

“Be SOBER, be VIGILANT; because your ADVERSARY the devil, as a roaring lion, WALKETH about, SEEKING whom he may DEVOUR: 9 whom RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world” 1 Peter 5:8-9.

“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should EARNESTLY CONTEND FOR THE FAITH which was once delivered unto the saints. 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ” Jude 1:3-4.

“Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus” John 18:10.

“Then Jesus came with THEM to a place CALLED Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go and PRAY over there.” 37 And He TOOK with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. 38 Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. STAY HERE AND WATCH WITH ME.” 39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and PRAYED, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.” 40 Then He came to the disciples and found them SLEEPING, and said to Peter, “WHAT! COULD YOU NOT WATCH WITH ME ONE HOUR? 41 Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 42 Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done.” 43 And He came and found them ASLEEP again, for their eyes were heavy. 44 So He left them, went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. 45 Then He came to His disciples and said to them, “ARE YOU STILL SLEEPING AND RESTING? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand” . . .  51 And suddenly, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear. 52 But Jesus said to him, “Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword. 53 Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels? 54 How then could the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must happen thus?” 55 In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take Me? I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you did not seize Me. 56 But all this was done that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples FORSOOK Him and fled” Matthew 26:36-56/NKJV.

Nothing LESS Than God’s PRESENCE

Nothing LESS Than God’s PRESENCE: That’s All You NEED Today – To Make Your Difference!

“As the deer PANTS for the water brooks, So PANTS my soul for You, O God. 2 My soul THIRSTS for God, for the LIVING God. When shall I come and APPEAR before God? . . .” Psalms 42 NKJV.

For the FULNESS of unspeakable, thriving and rejuvenating Joy and God’s pleasures –  NOTHING LESS than His PRESENCE, is all that’s needed today to make life a living worth – meaningful and purposeful. That’s how to enjoy being blessed and seated in the heavenly places at the right hand of Father God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Thou wilt shew me the PATH OF LIFE: in thy PRESENCE is FULNESS OF JOY;at thy RIGHT HAND there are PLEASURES for evermore” Psalms 16:11.

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ . . . 20 which he wrought in Christ, when He RAISED him from the dead, and set him at his own RIGHT HAND in the HEAVENLY PLACES” Ephesians 1:3, 20.

“And hath RAISED US UP TOGETHER, and MADE US SIT TOGETHER in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 2:6.

It’s time to STOP RUNNING after men to secure God’s PRESENCE; and you must know that, no matter the class, status, title and decorum of any man, none should stand between you and God. No more should you let any man of any worth or status, become your in-between, for there’s no other NAME under heaven GIVEN among men – except Jesus Christ – by which, our SALVATION from God is to come to realisation and actualisation. He’s out only mediator, advocate and justifier with God.

“Neither is there SALVATION in any other: for there is NONE OTHER NAME under heaven given among men, whereby we MUST be SAVED” Acts 4:12.

“For there is one God, and one MEDIATOR between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” 1 Timothy 2:5.

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED by faith, we have PEACE with God THROUGH our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 BY WHOM also we have ACCESS by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.

Moses knew best, hence, he refuses anything less than God’s PRESENCE. That’s all that was needed and it’s needed in today’s changing and challenging world and times. [Exodus 33].

Remarkably, our Lord Jesus Christ in humanity, though He was ANOINTED to carry on the Kingdom cause for which He came, NEEDED also, the abounding love PRESENCE of our Father God to keep Him keeping on. How much more could we need God now then ever. [Acts 10:38; Mark 1:35].

Much more, God had promised to be with us always as long as we are in the path of life that is of His WILL, in His WORD in His Kingdom causes. [Matthew 28:19-20].

Crave for God’s presence today I plead with you, in order to enjoy His abounding grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“. . . Then Moses said to the Lord, “See, You say to me, ‘Bring up this people.’ But You have not let me know whom You will send with me. Yet You have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found grace in My sight.’ 13 Now therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, SHOW ME NOW YOUR WAY, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider that this nation is Your people.” 14 And He said, “MY PRESENCE WILL GO WITH YOU, AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST.” 15 Then he said to Him, “IF YOUR PRESENCE DOES NOT GO WITH US, DO NOT BRING US UP FROM HERE. 16 For how then will it be known that Your people and I have found grace in Your sight, except You go with us? So we shall be separate, Your people and I, from all the people who are upon the face of the earth.” 17 So the Lord said to Moses, “I will also do this thing that you have spoken; for you have found grace in My sight, and I know you by your name . . .” Exodus 33 NKJV.

“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: AND, LO, I AM WITH YOU ALWAY, even unto the end of the world. Amen” Matthew 28:19-20.

“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9.

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, TO THEM WHO ARE THE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified” Romans 8:28-30.

The Scriptures says, that it is they that DWELL in God’s PRESENCE – the secret place of the most high – consistently and diligently, that can abide under the shadow of His wings. For in the PATH of LIFE, it’s only in God’s PRESENCE, there’s the FULNESS of joy and PLEASURES forever more.  For God REWARDS those who DILIGENTLY stay in to seek Him without a shadow of doubt and turning – Hebrews 11:6; Psalms 91:1; Psalms 16:11.

Therefore, stop being a VISITOR and a VISITING GUEST into God’s PRESENCE, if you desire the FULNESS of His enabling GRACE and BLESSEDNESS. Be a DWELLER and ABIDING person, so that His ABIDING WINGS will take you along in LIFE and GODLY living.

There’s nothing as gracious and graceful in abiding in God’s PRESENCE 24/7. Do you mean 24/7 in His presence? YES! It’s not about sleeping in the Church building or locking up yourself only in any secluded place – it’s about living in the abiding CONSCIOUSNESS of His bids and leads in every aspects of DOING LIFE AND GODLY LIVING – and this is made possible, by the Holy Spirit that’s given to us and that dwells in us, in Christ Jesus stead. For it’s not about just HAVING the Holy Spirit in you but about being LED by Him in His CONSCIOUS PRESENCE in you, in Christ Jesus stead. Make it your daily goal, you will not have any cause to regret it. Romans 8:14-17.

DARE TO PANT AFTER GOD AS THE DEER

DARE TO PANT AFTER GOD AS THE DEER: YOUR TRIUMPH IS EMBEDDED IN HEARTFELT PANTS AFTER GOD!

“As the DEER PANTS for the WATER BROOKS, So PANTS my soul for You, O God. 2 My soul THIRSTS for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God? . . .” Psalms 42.

The Psalmist indicates that as the DEER pants for the water brooks, so does he after God. To behold His beauty, glory and grace through life than to be in a lamentable state. It’s of the knowing, that in God’s PRESENCE, is the FULNESS – overflow – of joy and at His RIGHT HAND wherein we are positioned in Christ Jesus, are PLEASURES for ever more as enjoined in the Holy Writ – Psalms 16:11; Ephesians 1:20; Ephesians 2:6.

Therefore, in this month, take a new turn in life. It’s your time now to – “DARE TO TRIUMPH IN EVERY PLACE” – in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus, unafraid and unashamed in seeking after God as the Psalmist deed.

What is it then about the DEER spirited animal that’s in comparison to one seeking after God. Herein are few simple characteristics worth knowing:

  • • Gentleness and emboldened spirit to take chance – opportunity
  • • Ability to move through life and obstacles with grace
  • • Being in touch with inner child, innocence – guiltless and easy to trust
  • • Being sensitive and intuitive – the horn serves as antenna as our human spirit is in our subconscious towards God by His Spirit through His WORD
  • • Vigilance, ability to change directions quickly to avoid danger – of the enemy and cohorts
  • • Magical ability to regenerate, being in touch with life’s mysteries – innovative, relevant, creative and explorer

“Herein is our LOVE made PERFECT (COMPLETE, MATURE, FULLY, WHOLE), that we may have BOLDNESS in the DAY OF JUDGMENT (CHALLENGE): because AS HE IS, SO ARE WE in this WORLD. 18 There is NO FEAR in LOVE; but PERFECT LOVE CASTETH out FEAR: because FEAR hath TORMENT (INTIMIDATE, FRIGHTEN, CAPTIVATE) .

ABIDING IN GOD’S PRESENCE

ABIDING IN GOD’S PRESENCE: IT’S ABIDING IN HIS WORD AND ABIDING IN HIS LOVE!

“If ye ABIDE in me, and my WORDS ABIDE in you, ye shall ASK WHAT YE WILL, and it shall be DONE unto you . . . 10 If ye KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS, ye shall ABIDE in MY LOVE; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and ABIDE IN HIS LOVE” John 15:7, 10.

It’s our moment of time to abide in God’s LOVE and His WORD in order to enjoy his presence; for it’s our PATH for the FULLNESS of JOY and PLEASURE for EVERMORE. For ABIDING in God’s presence, is to ABIDE in His WORD and to ABIDE in His LOVE – and there’s NOTHING else MORE or LESS to it.

Moses demands from the Father God to show him “THE WAY” to life. In other words, “THE PATH” to true life that makes one to THRIVE, be FRUITFUL, be FULFILLED meaningfully in the FULLNESS of God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS.

“. . . 12 And Moses said unto the Lord, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight. 13 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, SHEW ME NOW THY WAY, THAT I MAY KNOW THEE, THAT I MAY FIND GRACE IN THY SIGHT: and consider that this nation is thy people. 14 And he said, My PRESENCE shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. 15 And he said unto him, If thy PRESENCE go not with me, carry us not up hence. . .” Exodus 33.

And as Moses did experience, we need to have and enjoy the PATH of life that brings about the FULLNESS of God’s joy and the PLEASURES that is evermore; and must determine with gracious hearts to abide in His presence.

And to ABIDE in God’s PRESENCES is to – ABIDE IN HIS WORD AND IN HIS LOVE – nothing more and Nothing less. This is the PATH and the HOW for an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory to thrive, blossom, refresh and rejuvenate, in God’s gracious presence in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

THEREFORE, ABIDE IN GOD’S LOVE AND HIS WORD IN ORDER TO ENJOY HIS PRESENCE – IT’S YOUR PATH FOR THE FULLNESS OF JOY AND PLEASURE FOR EVERMORE IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN!

An HOUR In God’s PRESENCE

An HOUR In God’s PRESENCE: Endeavour To Practice It Daily – You Will NEVER Regret It!

“And in the morning, RISING UP A GREAT WHILE before day, he went out, and departed into a SOLITARY PLACE, and there PRAYED” Mark 1:35.

CAN’T YOU WATCH WITH ME FOR AN HOUR? That is, can’t you spend at least an HOUR in Father God’s PRESENCE with Me? That was the question that Jesus did asked the early followers called Disciples who later became Apostles.

“. . . 38 Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. STAY HERE AND WATCH WITH ME.” 39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and PRAYED, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.” 40 Then He came to the disciples and found them SLEEPING, and said to Peter, “WHAT! COULD YOU NOT WATCH WITH ME ONE HOUR? 41 Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” . . .” Matthew 26:36-56.

The above subject questioning of Christ Jesus, reminds me of my early and now Christian FAITH set motto, that have served as my PRAYER reminder and guidances through the years, in helping and keeping me to be alert and awake in enjoying God’s PRESENCE daily – and it reads:

“SEVEN PRAYERLESS DAYS MAKES ONE WEAK” – WEAKENED IN THE FAITH!

Any acclaimed Believers in Christ, who can’t spend at  least – an hour in Father God’s presence a day, is prone to fall into diverse temptations knowingly or unknowingly. When one of Jesus Disciples couldn’t WATCH and PRAY for an hour with the Lord, he was prone to fall into trouble, because the FLESH rules and he made a wrong judgement of the spiritual attitude to a challenging incidence. He did this – by cutting off one called Malchus ears with the sword – [Matthew 26:51-53; John 18:10]. If they did watch for an hour in Father’s presence, they would have known His mind about matters concerning Christ and their faith in the kingdom.

The consequential results of not watching for examples are these: Peter cut Malchus ears, later denied Jesus; others hid themselves as many does today when questioned if they knew Jesus Christ. Adam and Eve hid themselves too from God – remember that? and many same like challenging matters that many have avoided instead of standing up and contending for their FAITH toward God, in Christ Jesus. [Romans 5:1-2; 1 Peter 5:8-9; Jude 1:3-4].

Will you WATCH FOR AN HOUR at least in a day in Father God’s presence, as a schedule in your PATH OF LIFE? For therein is the FULNESS of joy and PLEASURE forevermore. For an HOUR In God’s PRESENCE, makes life an essence that’s WORTH living, in advancing in the Kingdom cause and in keeping the enemy and cohorts at bay.

It’s a CHOICE to make your PATH OF LIFE in God’s PRESENCE, in order to bring forth your FULLNESS OF JOY and PLEASURE FOR EVERMORE in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK: An hour in God’s PRESENCE – make it an ESSENCE for your well being in life and godliness. For It’s your path of life for your fullness of joy and pleasure for ever more. [Psalms 16:11].

“Thou wilt shew me the PATH OF LIFE:in thy PRESENCE is FULNESS of JOY;at thy RIGHT HAND there are PLEASURES for EVERMORE” Psalms 16:11.

“Then Jesus came with THEM to a place CALLED Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go and PRAY over there.” 37 And He TOOK with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. 38 Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. STAY HERE AND WATCH WITH ME.” 39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and PRAYED, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.” 40 Then He came to the disciples and found them SLEEPING, and said to Peter, “WHAT! COULD YOU NOT WATCH WITH ME ONE HOUR? 41 Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 42 Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done.” 43 And He came and found them ASLEEP again, for their eyes were heavy. 44 So He left them, went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. 45 Then He came to His disciples and said to them, “ARE YOU STILL SLEEPING AND RESTING? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand” . . .  51 And suddenly, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear. 52 But Jesus said to him, “Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword. 53 Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels? 54 How then could the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must happen thus?” 55 In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take Me? I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you did not seize Me. 56 But all this was done that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples FORSOOK Him and fled” Matthew 26:36-56 (NKJV).
