Unusual Privileges

Good day guys, how have we been doing? Hope the day was smooth. Very simple a verse screamed at me today:

Matthew 6:11 Living Bible (TLB)
Give us our food again today, as usual,

I love this version of the verse, give us our food again today. It means that the statement was made to someone who has been consistently providing for the speaker without fail. I know we all know it’s Jesus giving us the perfect example of a prayer, yet it teaches us a lot about what to know and expect. It helps us to know that we can rely on God to provide for us consistently without fail. It means that as children we are entitled to ask from our Father a daily provision of what we need, be it food or any other thing.

I dunno why I found this verse interesting but it’s pretty intriguing, this is because as Christians many of us have not grown up to that level of ‘don’t worry about tomorrow, look at the sparrow…’, we still fret about things that are beyond our control of which I am chief. We’ve got to understand that God assures us that our tables will never be empty, no matter how tight my financial situation is, God just shows up with provision, its because that’s His nature, His love to us ward isn’t to be trivialized.

Give us our food again today, as usual (well He gives us food everyday so it’s become the norm for us to get food from Him, I guess that’s why the best of us have forgotten to be grateful for that one privilege, because the privilege seems like an automatic stuff that doesn’t deserve thanks). So all my talk today is know that God will always provide and don’t take His provisions for granted.

Hey guys, good day. Hope your day was splendid? “But Ruth said, “Do not urge me to leave you or to turn back from following you; for where you go, I will go, and where you lodge, I will lodge. Your people will be my people, and your God, my God.” ‭‭RUTH‬ ‭1:16‬ ‭AMP‬‬ So I know I wrote in Ruth a few days ago but my attention was drawn to Naomi. I mean there must have been some qualities in Naomi that made Ruth determined to follow her. Imagine how endearing Naomi had made her God seem to Ruth for Ruth to have wanted to serve Him. I have to commend Naomi on spreading the gospel so much that her daughter in law was willing and ready to forsake her childhood gods and her way of life just to be with an old woman. I've wondered what was it about that old woman, as in understand that both Ruth and Orpah were unwilling to leave Naomi. She had nothing to offer but I'm quite sure she had invested a lot into them. Now the question is what are we investing into people, how endear

Hypocritical Hypocrites!

  Buenos días amigos ha pasado mucho tiempo , anyways sha it's great to be back. James 1:22-23 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror. I know how a lot of us go about in Word Conferences and be shouting "Hmm Rhema!" upandan, biko don't get annoyed but all the Rhema you've been getting what have you used it for exactly? Abi you are now a keeper that all you do is catch Rhema, without retaining possession of the Rhema you've received. The truth is that if we've put into practice all the Rhema we've received then we would have become better Christians. I know someone is thinking that 'not all Rhema is for me', but wait, if the Rhema was not for you, why were you shouting Rhema in our ears depriving some of us from even hearing what the Rhema was. I remember joining a group about sharing the

Commitment 4?

Committed 4? Okay so the holidays are over and tomorrow we resume our serious lives. May the death of Christ put to death all our nasty habits and may the resurrection of Christ birth new and good ones in our lives. Ruth 4:13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the Lord gave her conception, and she bare a son. Madam Ruth is my case study today, I just love this babe oh. To think of the tragedy that befell her, because when we speak of Ruth we only do justice to Naomi's devastation and we are quick to forget that Ruth also had a tragedy on her hands. She lost a husband to whom she bore no child for. Yet she just decided that she loved her mother in law so much and she'll happily serve her mother in law. She had no husband expectations but she resisted leaving like her sister in law and stayed with Naomi. She was like if na to chop indomie or if na to soak garri then let's go.  She was also endeared to Naomi's God an
