The Sons of Issachar

1 Chronicles 12:32 states that the sons of Issachar had an exceptional understanding of the times and knew what Israel ought to do. Those who walk closely with God will possess discerning ability and a sense of urgency to fulfil His purpose. 

Opportunities must not be wasted, as they are a crucial appearance of timing. Knowing what to do and when to do it is a critical aspect of walking closely with God. In these times, we must be even more attuned to God's timing and purpose. 

Procrastination and spiritual blindness have no place in the life of a believer who desires to obey God's will and purpose. Daily prayer and studying of the word of God are essential in preparing our hearts to be open to the leading of the Holy Spirit. 

We must be discerning by the Spirit of God to know what to do at the right time so we won't miss a divine opportunity. 
We must take advantage of every opportunity to showcase God's light within us. We must be sensitive to the Holy Spirit's leading and respond promptly to what needs to be done. 

We must focus on what God wants us to do, not what we want to do. God has assigned specific tasks to us according to His calendar for our individual lives. We must never be idle, but always progress in our obedience to the ministry that God has given to us.

Power of Persistence

Power of Persistence  And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them. Judges 8:4 Persistence is essential for pursuing a significant purpose and achieving a vision that seems beyond our strength. Despite their exhaustion, Gideon and his soldiers continued their pursuit of their enemies, demonstrating the power of a clear and compelling goal to inspire perseverance in fulfilling a dream. Persistence allows us to remain consistent and steadfast in our pursuits. Without a great vision, we may struggle to rise from complacency and actively seek God with the dedication needed for constant prayer, which builds a strong spirit, deepens our faith, enhances our understanding of the Word of God, and helps us grow in alignment with our vision.  God does not use casual seekers for the advancement of His kingdom; He relies on those who are consistent and committed. Persistence in prayer and faith is key to receiving an...

You are worthy O Lord..

You are worthy O Lord.. The twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, "You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, honour, and power; for You have created all things, and for Your pleasure, they are and were created." — Revelation 4:10-11 Even with the privilege of sitting around God's throne, these elders demonstrate a deep sense of humility before Him. When the living creatures give glory, honour, and thanks to God, the elders do not remain seated, proud of their crowns. Instead, they rise from their seats and fall down before God. In worship, they lay their crowns at His feet, proclaiming that He alone is worthy of glory, honour, and power. The crowned elders understand that there is only one King, and that King is God, deserving of all glory despite the honour they have been given. Like these elders, we must not allow the privileges, gifts, bles...

The Word became Answer

Image
The Word became Answer RSV, John 1:14: "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father." The Word, or Logos, became human as God's response to our need for salvation, addressing all our spiritual needs and the limitations we face as humans. The written word, the scriptures, is also provided by God to meet our needs. However, many struggle to find answers to their challenges in the scriptures due to their lack of understanding of them. But those who genuinely seek truth from the scriptures and are willing to obey God's guidance will find that the scriptures are revealed to them, providing a word from God. Casual reading of the scriptures will not yield meaningful benefits. Our comprehension of the scriptures plays a significant role in how we apply them and the guidance we receive. Therefore, we must not only read the scriptures but also study them carefully to uncove...
