GOD IS GOD! Click and read.



 

 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are like grasshoppers; that stretchest out the heavens as a curtain; and spreadeth them as a tent to dwell in. That bringeth princes to nothing: he maketh judges of the earth vanity. (Isaiah 40:22-23)

Today we take a look at the majesty of our God. 
The verse starts very clearly with the fact that God sits upon the circle of the earth. This means that God is right there at the base of what holds the earth together. He is fully aware of what happens in the earth. Our God is big. He is awesome. He is mighty and when He looks down upon the earth the inhabitants are like grasshoppers. Can you imagine that description? The inhabitants are like grasshoppers. So why do you doubt when you pray to a God that is that big? No matter your prayer point, it can never be bigger than the Almighty.

“He stretches the earth like a curtain”. Our God is the initiator of interior decorations. Have you taken out time once in a while to look up into the sky and look at the way the clouds are arranged and sometimes the rays of the suns pierce through the clouds and create an awesome effect? I tell you the scene is truly breath-taking. I schooled in ABSU and it is surrounded by hills. I have seen sunset, sunrise, and scenery after rain as the little white birds fly past. I also had the opportunity to see many scenes of nature in my secondary school days in F.G.G.C. Abuja and it was truly awesome.

When you have opportunity to see such beauty you will appreciate the majesty of our King. Hallelujah to the King of glory! God also stretches it like a tent to dwell in. I say it again nobody can beat our God in interior or exterior decoration. This God is too much. God rules in heaven and governs in the affairs of men.

The Lord brings princes to nothing. No matter how highly placed any prince is, he is still just a prince. Our God is King of kings. He is the highest authority. He said He has the heart of kings in His hands. The Lord makes the judges of the earth vanity. Have you ever wondered how a matter that has been decided previously can be overturned in just a minute? That can only be God.

Amazingly, as big as our God is, He still wants to live in our hearts. That is truly a privilege that words cannot fully describe. As mighty as He is He takes time to hear us when we call. Celebrate our God. He loves us unconditionally.
 
Hallelujah!

KNOW THE JOYFUL SOUND! Click and read more




 Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, o Lord, in the light of thy countenance. In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: in thy righteousness shall they be exalted. For thou art the glory of their strength: in thy favour our horn is exalted. For the Lord is our defence: and the Holy One of Israel is our king. (Psalm 89:15-17).


Blessed are the people that recognize the sound of joy. Have you ever found yourself in the midst of people who are always pessimistic or very negative towards any happening even when it is something to be rejoice about? They have a way of puncturing your excitement. The verse we are looking at clearly states that there is blessing attached to recognizing an atmosphere that gladdens the heart. In life no normal person likes to hang around negative persons.  The blessing attached is the fact that you will walk in the light of His countenance. God’s countenance is glorious. It radiates peace, joy, love, healing and all good things.

“In thy name shall they rejoice all the day”. Remember that the name of the Lord is a strong tower. The righteous run into it and they are saved. Knowing the potency of the name of the Lord causes endless rejoicing. Recognizing the Lord’s presence at all times is a major morale booster. God cares for us. The verse continues by declaring that our prosperity and establishment is tied to our love for the Lord’s righteousness. 
Remember the bible says that righteousness exalts a nation but sin is a reproach.

God is the glory of our strength. The Lord is the backing for accomplishment in our lives. Remember except the Lord watches over a house the watchers do their watch in vain. Except the Lord builds a house the builders are building in vain.   
“In favour our horn is exalted”. Remember the blessing of God makes rich and adds no sorrow to it.
 
 For the Lord is our defence. The Lord protects. He is our shield and our buckler. He is a present help in the time of need. He is our banner. Greater is He that lives in you than he that is in the world. He that dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.  The Holy One of Israel is our King. I thank the Lord for the assurance of the benefits we enjoy in Him.   

Hallelujah!
