A Call For God's Divine Presence

Monday 15th September 

Text: Isaiah 57: 15 - 18  
Key verse: Psalms 101 verse 2: “I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way, O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.” 
This is a call for God's divine presence, help and support in ministry. David needs wisdom and perfection to win the presence of God in his ministry. God is holy, who will sit with Him on high? Those that are of a contrite spirit, of a humble heart, of a holy heart and of righteousness. Such will be with God, the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous. David wanted God to be with him; and if God must be with him, wisdom and perfection is required. He must be wise so that he can be perfect; then he will gain the presence of God. Otherwise, you will be carrying out Christian leadership as a man running a chemist; or you will be running the Christian ministry like a vulcanizer that pumps the tyres of vehicles on the road side lives by it. 
God is with you as much as He is with the groundnut seller because the groundnut seller is trading and feeding people created by God and is making profit. You too are gathering people and reading the Bible to them to help some of them, and that is all. It is not that God has recognized you because there is no commitment in your life; there is no truth or righteousness in your ministry and service since the presence of God is not with you. In the Christian ministry, the principles you are adopting are lies and falsehood. Your foundation is out of course. You cannot expect the God of truth and justice to be with you in the ministry. 
Does God justify liars? If you want the presence of God, it is by Righteousness and Holiness and you need wisdom as you deal in leadership over the people of God, in the service of God. You need wisdom even in family leadership. You need wisdom to be perfect. The psalmist sees God also as the supplier of these virtues. “Oh God, I fix my heart on wisdom and perfection. Manifest them in my life, fill me with them, I need these in my life.” The leader of God's people does not know when the Lord will come or when he will die and so must be wise and perfect as to be ready at all times to meet the Lord, either by death or by rapture. You do not know when God will come or when you will die. 

Thought for the day: You need wisdom to be perfect. 

Song for the day: Lord, teach me Your word

Bible reading for the day: Hosea 5-9

THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. THURSDAY 30 DECEMBER THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS TEXT: NUMBERS 14: 26-31  Key verse: Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many  be called, but few chosen. Completion of the angelic message: The Lord continued. “Because of this mandate given to you, I am removing around you the uncircumcised leaders. I am going to fill their place with righteous and holy leaders from various nations and races.” Truly I had pondered if any minister has suffered like this. People I loved, cherished and lived peacefully with suddenly began to speak evil against me to my shock. Well, it happens in politics, but is limited to their countries, whereas mine is international! Yes, some ministers may have suffered these things, but that was before the advent of the Internet, so their sufferings were limited. Maybe through letters or newspapers for a limited time, but my own is in the world of the I...
