Bible verse: Proverbs 30:24-28 contd.
24 There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:
25 The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;
26 The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;
27 The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;
28 The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces

Message
The Ant gives us the wisdom of preparatory living.
Beloveth, we live in a hostile world. All around us are evil men who would undo our faith.
But God, in His wisdom, has provided us with a unique and glorious armour.
Our lives may be full of sorrows and despair, and it may look that darkness will last forever do not loose focus.

Ants are armoured and never found lazy and they teach us to prepare our food while we may.
Laziness is the lack of desire.
Take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day.

How are you performing in life ?
Are you prepared for the future, is your family? Are you ready to meet the Lord?


Prayer
Dear Father, do not allow what I ignored when I am comfortable become my deepest hunger and thirst in Jesus name.
Let the joy of the enemy over my life be turned to sorrow, in the name of Jesus

24 There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:
25 The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;
26 The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;
27 The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;
28 The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces

Message
It is wonderful how God has choose simple, earthly, natural, and baser things to teach us as human beings the higher, nobler, and more complex spiritual things we need to learn and practice.

The ants are not in competition with each other, nor are they concerned with who gets credit for a job well done.
They do not stop their work for fear of those things they cannot understand or withstand.
They are absolutely fearless in their pursuit of food for the ant community and making provision for the future.
They are industrious, disciplined, dedicated, committed, work hard and efficiently, don't need motivation, and plan for the future.

Believers are to work with discipline and dedication to act faithfully, wisely, harmoniously and fearlessly in the area of their personal, material possessions.

Yes! many have the instinct regarding material things and like the ants, making provision for the future.
But in many cases many believers do make little or no preparation for the eternity.
Those of us who lack discipline in our lives, especially our spiritual lives, are expected to learn from the ants.

Let us ask the ants to be our professor in spiritual matters - working faithfully, working harmoniously, working wisely, working fearlessly.

Prayer
Nothing will be impossible for me because I am in Christ, and through him, I can do all things
O Lord, open the gates of righteousness unto me in Jesus name.

27 The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;
28 The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces

Message
There are 4 little creatures of God that we give very little attention to - the ants, conies, locusts and the spider.

The ants live in colonies, are unified in their efforts, are armoured - all working toward a common goal.
At first glance at a anthill, and you just see a lot of activity - ants running around everywhere but they have a plan.
Even though they don't have supervisors as such, yet each ant works and doesn't wait to be told what to do.
They pull their own weight and work according to their ability.
Yes! they don't have to attend a motivational seminar because they are too busy to need motivation.
Ants don't know the meaning of procrastination.
They don't wait till the weather turns cold before they are preparing. They gather food while it is still warm and take it into their colony.

There are a a lot of believers who are active, and churches that are filled with programs but they have no plan, have no vision for the future, have little of any idea as to what their function is, and which way they are going.
Beloveth, are you prepared for eternity?
Are you ready for that day when you will go out into eternity and stand before God ?

The ant is used by God as an example of discipline, to learn how to live our lives, especially how we are to live for Him in this world - obedient, faithful, disciplined and dedicated.

Prayer
Oh Lord, deliver me from a mind of procrastination and laziness in the name of Jesus.
Grant me the wisdom, the discipline, the motivational spirit of the ants to accomplish that You plane´ned for me in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Ephesians 6:10-11
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armour of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.

Message
Beloveth, God has a plan for your live likewise the enemy has a plan for you too.
You just have to decide which voice we're going to listen to God or Satan, and who you are going to choose to follow each day.
And chances are, if you don't make a determined choice to follow God, you may eventually fall into the evil one's trap and heading to hell fire.
If you're going to do anything for the Lord, know that you are going to experience spiritual warfare. It's inevitable.
We're fighting unseen enemies that will stop at nothing to try to hinder us from fulfilling God's plan for our lives.
Yes! God has given you His Word and Spirit, powerful and true, so that you have the wisdom and protection to stand against the enemy.
You need to have the knowledge of the armour of God - the seven items listed under the armour of God, which He freely provides.


Prayer
Heavenly Father, I continue in my daily union with You. I trust that I will continue to walk in Your righteousness, being led by the Holy Spirit.
I declare that no weapon formed against me shall prosper and I condemn every tongue that rises up against me in judgement, in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Ecclesiastes 9:7
Go, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart, for God has already approved what you do.

Message
Because the imagination knows no limit of what may be found to do so the heart will dream of many great things to do yet God has a bigger and greater dreams and vision for every life.

Those who have faith in what God declared, who believed His Word and are acting in accordance to His word new delights and joys shall never be far from their territory.

Beloveth, thank and woship Gog for what He has given you already, and then, on that basis, live your life to the fullness based on His word not forgetting that God is the source of and to be grateful at all times.
Our Lord has better things for you for He will supply all your needs according to His riches.

Prayer
O heavenly Father, do not deny me the free and lawful use of the good things of life because there is no enjoyment of them in the grave.
I will eat my bread with gladness, with thankfulness and a a joyful heart, I will drink my wine in Jesus name.

Grant me, Lord, a sincere heart to always be grateful of Your blessings.

Bible verse: Isaiah 43:18-19
18 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

Message
Glory be unto God, we are on the threshold of a wonderful new year and a new decade.
Beloveth, as we begin a New Year we need to put the old year behind us.
It is only when you bury the old year with all of its problems, with all of its mistakes, all its failures and turbulence, those fruitless circumstances, those negative moments and temptations that you can expect new things and focus on a brighter future.
If you still have your old ungodly practices kept in the mortuary, call for them now and send them to the grave so you can remember them no more and you can proudly say that old things have passed away and that you have become a new creature in the Lord.
God will start releasing those things He has in the pipeline for you. He will open new doors and start pouring His promises for you upon your head.
Yes! He will enlarge your coats but He hates sin.
Beloveth, you are always to remember that whatsoever you are undertaking in this year, your objective should be: to have a transformed soul, a new backbone, new spiritual eyes, the fear of the Lord, love of the truth, obedience to God and His ambassadors, to your employer to your parents and watch what comes out of your mouth.

Prayer
Thank You Lord for the things You hath prepared for me; the view of that which the eyes of other people have not seen; a view of wisdom, and fitness, and beauty which can be found in no other plan.
Rather than being motivated by the endless acquisition of temporary benefits or be overtaken by my past or things which might become a distraction to my faith and trust in You, let my principle work be focused on spiritual food which endures for ever so I can lay hold of eternal life in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Luke 21:36
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Message
Beloveth, this Scripture is talking about watchfulness, about alertness, about being ready.
You are to live with a clear conscious so that when the Lord comes you can meet Him with a clear and pure mind.
Yes! you need to have a constant connection with God and seek Him to grant you power to overcome all sin.
Pray with great expectations of the desired results and walk by faith, not by sight.

Beloveth, be alert at all times and stay focused on your spiritual truth and spiritual identity by making continual and systematic applications to the Host High God.
Understand your life, know the power of your circumstances and remember that you can be easily distracted by this world, by your fleshly needs and desires, and the schemes of the enemy.

Yes! Jesus wants us to be like Jacob who wrestled with a man all night long but never to give up; or like the blind Barthemeus; or like Jabez.


Prayer
Everlasting Father, grant me the grace to always call upon You as long as I live, rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; and empowerment to continuing instant in prayer.
I reject the spirit of giving up for I will wait patiently on the LORD; And He will incline to me and hear my cry in Jesus name.
