WILL BE SHARING BRIEFLY THE BOOK OF 1 KINGS

For  those of you that  find it hard to read  the bible, I am here to get you by the  hand and share with you what God has for us.I  have a great desire to read the bible  and I like quoting scriptures  alot.This  time let's begin with the book of 1 kings. I will be  giving you the briefs  and encouraging you accordingly.1 Kings Chapter 1  talks about  the time when David was of age and very ill. It so happened that Adonijah, one of his sons forcefully made himself king and yet David had sworn to crown Solomon as King. It  all started when Adonijah took a click of people  along side Abiathar the priest and announced himself king.Later David gets to know and  crowns Solomon as king. Adonijah  gets scared and pleads for mercy from David who forgives him.We learn that all authority comes  from God and no matters  what the Devil plans for us,as long as we have a clear stand with God, his counsel will stand.

IN HIM WE MOVE,IN HIM WE LIVE AND HAVE ALL OUR BEING

Acts 17:28 says in him we move, in him we live and have all our being.

It literally means, there's nothing  we can do without God. He says in John 15:5, he is the vine and we are the branches and without him we can do nothing. It is just  that  significant to the extent that  even  in eating and drinking we have to do it  for the glory of God.(1 Corinthians 10:31)

He says because he lives we shall live also.Let's learn to consider God a priority in our lives.

"PHAROAH, LET MY PEOPLE GO"

The devil is  a liar and a looser  but he  just  never accepts that he is always fighting a loosing battle. 2 Peter 2:4  says  God has delivered  him to the chains of darkness and reserved him for judgement.I  like the way Moses confronted Pharoah. God was using him as his mouth piece. Do you  know God  has made us gods? Yes, he says in Psalms 82:6, You are gods and children of the most high but you will  die like  ordinary men.

The devil resisted till he could resist no more.There's  a prayer you  will  make and the devil will  not bear any more but to let you have your  miracle.

GOD WILL OVERTURN IT TO THE RIGHT PERSON

God  will  bend,twist and shape  a situation until it comes out the way he planned it. All things  will work together for  the good of those that love God to those that are called according to his purpose.(Romans 8:28). He says in Ezekiel 21:27,

I will    overturn,overturn,overturn it and it shall be no more till it comes whose right it is and I will give it to him. The devil is a thief. He came to steal, kill and destroy but Jesus came that we may have life and have it more abundantly.(John 10:10). Proverbs 6:31 says,  a thief when caught, will repay  seven folds. We must learn to claim  back whatever the devil has stolen from us. Job 20:15 says, he  has swallowed down riches,he will vomit them up again, God will cast them out  of his belly.

BLESSED ARE THE PEACE MAKERS

Love  is the greatest gift of all. Jesus  said  there's no greater love than a man to lay his life for  his friend. If  as a christian  you have not  experienced a transformation of your life to love people regardless  of  what they do or who they are  and being able to forgive them regardless of what they've done, then  you  have not moved  any single step in your walk with God. Matthew 5:9 tells us blessed are the peace makers  for they will be called the children of God. Hebrews 12:14 says persue peace with all men and holiness without which no one will see God.

WE GO FROM GLORY TO GLORY (2 CHORINTHIANS 3:18)

I   imagine  our  life  as believers in Christ to be  a school where  we  get to learn about  God  by reading  the bible as our guide. It  involves  doing tests  as well. These  tests  are through  the various challenges  that we pass through  in life  where we have to believe and cling to the word of God and believe his report.If we pass the test, we are promoted to another level. Psalms 84:7 says  we go from strength to strength.Remember God will never give you a trial beyond your  faith, but he give you a  way to escape so you can bear it.( 1 Corinthians 10:13). For the testing of your faith  is much more precious than that of gold which  perishes, for though it is tested  by fire  may be found of praise,honour and glory un to the appearing of Jesus Christ.( 1 Peter 1:7)

CARRY YOUR CANDLE TO THE DARKNESS

In devoting myself  to reading the word of God, I  have discovered very many scriptures  from which most  musicians  derive  their songs. As I was reading the book of Proverbs, I came across this scripture that says the spirit  of man is the candle of the lord searching all the inward  parts of the belly.(Proverbs 20:27). Jesus said  in Matthew 5:14, we are the light of the world, a city set on a hill can not be hidden. Isaiah 60:3  says; gentiles will come to your light and kings to the brigtness of your rising. Hebrews 1:7 tells us we are flames of fire.  Who are we to  have all these  promises from God?

TIME AND CHANCE HAPPENS TO THEM ALL

The  race is  not  for the swift nor the battle for the strong  nor bread for the rich nor wealth for men of understanding nor favor for men of skill but time and chance  happens to them all.( Ecclesiastes 9:11). This one thing I do,forgetting the things behind me  and  reaching forth to the things before me I press towards  the mark of the prize  of the upward  calling of God.(Phillipians 3:13). Let's learn to forget the past and believe to see God's goodness in the land of the living.(Psalms 27:13)
