Make Alliance With Righteous Causes


Scriptural Highlight: (2Kings 9:17) - "Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel, and he saw the company of Jehu as he came and said, 'I see a company.' And Joram said, 'Take a horseman and send to meet them and let them say, 'is it well'. So a man on horseback went to meet them and said, 'Thus says the king, 'is it peace?' And Jehu answered, 'what do you have to do with peace? Turn and ride behind me."

Our scriptural highlight for today showcases a scene of battle between righteousness and evil. Joram king of Israel belonged to the family of Ahab and Jezebel, people that have troubled Israel with their sorcery, covetousness and blood spills. And a word of prophecy from Elijah had gone out against this evil house saying, "Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will utterly sweep thee away and will cut off from Ahab every man-child...(1Kings 21:21). So, in effect, God located Jehu and anointed him to fight and fulfill His righteous cause.

But what I want you to notice specially in today's focus is how the servants of Joram changed their cause and joined Jehu's cause. Jehu was on a mission to fulfill a righteous cause and they joined him, partnered with him and strengthened his hand detaching from Joram. As a result, the life of these servants were preserved. On the other hand, (if you read down you will find) the king of Judah, Ahaziah, lost his life because he was in partnership with a cursed man. Cursed, because, God has rejected Ahab and his descendants (so a prophecy of doom was hanging on Joram's head).

Child of God, hear God's word today: make alliances with righteous causes; detach from cursed people; separate from relationships that will drown your life. When you partner with people who have God's presence, their is a rob off of the grace and blessing of God on their life on your own life. When you come across people or platforms God is blessing and backing, don't join those who are cynical rather promote them, partner and sponsor them. The word of God says, "He that receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward: and he that receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward" (Mathew 10:41).

Many have died following people that God was against. On the other hand, many have become blessed following people God blessed. Make alliance today with righteous causes. You shall flourish.

Prayer: Lord disconnect me from wrong alliances and connect me to the right relationships in Jesus name.

The Issue With Wealth II

There is a point one can get to in life where money is no longer a challenge. If one reaches this level and care is not taken, you may discover that dependence on God on certain issues may begin to decline. Because some of the things the person used to pray about, money can now provide them. There is another category of people who have all the money they will ever need in life; and there are others that have never known what is called lack all their life. These kind of people may never understand if you tell them how impoverished people are, out their. They may see it in the television or in the papers but they may not fully come to terms with it. Some in this group can put people down to make sure they maintain position. Then, finally we have the poor folks and those trying to make ends meet. I have one problem with this last two category, especially the poor, they always think that the rich is the cause of their poverty. You may never blame someone who was born with a silver

MY PAST HUNTS ME! HOW DO I DEAL WITH IT NOW THAT AM IN CHRIST?

  DRAW A LINE BETWEEN YOUR PAST AND YOUR FUTURE ! Many people come to Christ daily but battle with the memories of their past life which probably was rough, painful or traumatic. I have seen many people who struggled to live their new found faith in Christ just because a terrible past life comes hunting: I have seen some who got delivered from occult involvements, terrible abuses, sexual lifestyles and other dehumanizing struggles battling to live the Christian life because of the height of what they had been through. For some of them even when God has forgiven their sins, they find it hard to forgive themselves. So the devil takes advantage of the struggle, self condemnation or guilt to hinder their growth in the things of the spirit. But the Bible teaches that, he that is in Christ is a new creation, old things are past away and behold all things are new. No matter what a person has done, as long as the person has not grieved the Holy Spirit, he can be saved. So the que
