Treasures

 Isiah45:3 {NLT}

And I will give you treasures hidden in the darkness—

    secret riches.

I will do this so you may know that I am the Lord,

the God of Israel, the one who calls you by name. 


The word of God makes us to know that the earth, the world, as a whole is covered with darkness, according to Isaiah 60:2a - "See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, " 

This automatically means that before anyone was born at all, the earth swam in darkness and so by default, we live in a world that is dark. But scripture says that light shines in darkness and darkness can't comprehend it. Jesus is this Light that shines in darkness. If you do not have Jesus in your life, I urge you to ask Him in now to be your Lord and Savior.

The anchor scripture for today let's us into an important matter, that there are treasures hidden in this dark world, that only God can reveal to an individual. Now, this doesn't have to be some 22 karate gold piece, No!  This treasures come in different forms as: direction on what to do next in life, what to say to a certain person, how to respond to a certain issue, the course to study in the university, etc. It may be an idea or an opportunity, it may be a new material you need to come across in order to have a solution to the challenge you have had for a while. Whatever the darkness may be there is a light for it. God says He will give it to His own; to me, to you!



1.He makes a promise.

2. He gives us an invitation.  Invitation to ask for the treasures that our heart so desires. What is it that has been the situation in your heart, I bring you this invitation that God has given in His word. I invite you to ask Him for the treasures you so earnestly desire. I invite you to ask Him for that which you need but are not even aware that you have need of them.

3. He wants us to come out of where we are right now in our relationship with Him and into a deeper place_ intimacy_so we can know that He is the God of Israel. He wants us to know a different side of Him, one we have never known or one we can know better.


God promises to give us the treasures that are hidden in darkness. Today's post is to show you the treasures (some of it) in that verse, and I trust that the Spirit of God would search out stuffs from the deep of God so you SEE in this dark world!


I love you and God bless you.

Peace.

Doors Do Open

Have you ever felt like you have exhausted all of your options and you can’t seem to find a way out?  Or you know that there is more that can be out of a case you are on? I can’t imagine what the widow whose husband left some debts for her to pay before he died must have gone through. Wait, you think all that happened is all there is. In the sense, you have pressed all your buttons and made all your moves. Knocked all the doors you know and made the calls. You now think its over. You think there’s no way out again? Be there! You seem to have forgotten so quick that God is the one that makes things happen. Look at the widow whose husband left her in debt. She was broke. No money no possession my sons up for sale kindof broke. Her two sons were going to be taken captive to pay for the debts that was on ground. Of course she was devastated. She had no possession to sell to get some money. The only thing she knew to do was to go meet Elisha who her husband served with. ...

Gods word as our reality

If anything would go through our spirit to our soul and then to reality,its going to pass through our mind. And if anything is going to have an impact on the spirit it would go through the mind. And so the mind is the place where a thing really is made or mared. It's where we either get an headway or remain stranded/on the same spot/can't see a way. It's the battlefield as it's often put. 2Cor.10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; This passage makes us to see that imaginations and thoughts have a way of exhausting themselves above the knowledge of God in our minds and we are the ones to do the job of making sure the word of God is the status quo of our mind...finding out what the word of God says and making it preeminence over and above any other thought. re-enforcing what the word of God says. Capturing God's idea(word) in ou...

Happy New Year.

It's good to write you for the first time in the new year. This time of the year when new decisions are made,new strategies,new resolutions and etc. Whilst all these are very good it's important not to forget what is most important  for the journey ahead. Moses, the superman assigned by God to lead Gods very own people was not about to do so without asking Gods presence to go with him. Exodus 33:15   And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence. I want to point your attention to intentionally asking God to go with you into the year. He's always with you no doubt,however there is a side of God that walks with us and we experience when we ask Him to walk with us. James 4:8a NKJV- 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.  You're going to need God in everything you do this year and in as much as He has given us a promise of his presence; Pr.3: 6 says "In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths....
