Delving Into The Depths of God's Love.

Introduction We live in a world where fear has become normal due to the current state of affairs. What if we could live a fearless life amidst all the trouble around us? It is possible. Today, we will talk about fear and how to combat it with God's Word. The Consequences of Fear There is an account of how the 12 Israelite spies went to scout the Promised Land. Ten of them brought back evil reports, saying, "The people were like giants in the land. We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes" (Numbers 13:33). This report instilled fear in the Israelites, leading them to complain against God and wish they had stayed and died in Egypt or the wilderness. They doubted God, and as a result of their fear, they never stepped foot in the Promised Land. The only two people who left Egypt and entered the Promised Land were those who were not afraid and had their full trust in God: Caleb and Joshua. The story of Peter highlights the difference between fear and courage. In Matthew...

TEXT FOR TODAY - Isaiah 8:11-13 NIV [11] This is what the Lord says to me with his strong hand upon me, warning me not to follow the way of this people: [12] “Do not call conspiracy everything this people calls a conspiracy; do not fear what they fear, and do not dread it. [13] The Lord Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy, he is the one you are to fear, he is the one you are to dread. Scripture Reference A conspiracy is a secret plan by a group to do something  unlawful  or harmful. In today's verse, God admonishes His people not to follow after people blindly but rather to seek God and fear him.  Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 echoes this point beautifully.  [13] Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind. [14] For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil. Scripture Reference   Have a Holy Spirit filled day.  ...

  Scripture reading : Habakkuk 2 Habakkuk 2:2-5 ESV [2] And the Lord answered me: “Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it. [3] For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay. [4] “Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright within him, but the righteous shall live by his faith. [5] “Moreover, wine is a traitor, an arrogant man who is never at rest. His greed is as wide as Sheol; like death he has never enough. He gathers for himself all nations and collects as his own all peoples.” https://bible.com/bible/59/hab.2.2-5.ESV Faith in God is what keeps us going in life. More also what keeps us after life on earth.  As for those that put their faith in anything other than God, in verse 18 and 19 God Himself says "Woe unto them". After faith in God, we need to pray for the spirit of faithfulness unto Him. The word of God emphasises the ...

  Psalms 91:1 NKJV [1] He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. https://bible.com/bible/114/psa.91.1.NKJV Today, in my Bible study, I learnt that those who stay in God's presence will be kept safe under the shadow of His wings and feathers. I asked myself the question. Where is God's secret place and what does it mean to abide there? Almost immediately, God placed the answers in my spirit. Dilligently spending quality time with God in obedience to His will is dwelling in His secret place. Today it is my prayer that, God will train us to dwell in His secret place, every day of our lives, Amen. God bless you. Please share.

 You might wonder why God doesn't save all those going through terrible times since He can. Some people have even left the faith because they wanted God to save their loved ones who were suffering and that didn't happen. Some people even think because they don't see relief from their pain, God doesn't care about them. God does. God is willing to deliver the oppressed and those appointed to die.  Psalm 79:11 (NKJV) "Let the groaning of the prisoner come before You; According to the greatness of Your power, Preserve those who are appointed to die."  This verse brings to mind all the people on earth suffering and dying. But think beyond that. God would not want you to suffer eternally. The present temporal suffering on Earth will be translated into a glorious eternity with God. The fact that you are suffering on earth doesn't mean God doesn't love you. He does. I am confident that the Lord wants the best for us that is why He has made provision for a glor...
