A DELAY IS NOT A DENIAL FROM GOD (Hab 2:3)
The bible is filled with examples of how God uses a long process to develop character, especially in leaders. He took eighty years to prepare Moses, including forty years in the wilderness. For 14,600 days Moses kept waiting and wondering, "Is it time yet?" But God kept saying, "No yet. " When God want to make a giant oak, he takes hundred years, but to make a mushroom, He does it overnight.
God has not finished with me yet, He has not finished with you either, so keep moving forward. Even the the snail reached the ark by persevering! As you persevere, you will surely sing your song and dance your dance in Jesus name.

THE FEAR OF GOD
Genuine fear of the Lord is always seen in obedience to the word of God (Proverb 8:13). People who do not work in line with God's word do not fear the Lord, regardless of what they profess with their lips. Therefore, when we fear the Lord, there are elements of dread at what His wrath can do, but there is also such a respect for Him and for His will that nothing else matters, but doing that which pleases the Lord. Oswald Chambers in one of his sermons said "the remarkable thing about fearing God is that, when you fear God, you fear nothing else, whereas if you do not fear God, you fear everything else". May you receive the grace to fear the Lord by obeying Him.

PRAYING WITH BOLDNESS
Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. Acts 4:29, NIV
There are situations in life that make us lose our strength and the ability to carry on. There are times we are stretched beyond limit by intimidating circumstances around us. This is the situation that the disciples found themselves after being arrested, questioned, threatened and told not to mention any more the name of Jesus. But they were not deterred. They instead met together to worship God, prayed for more boldness to witness Christ, and experience more miracles through His name. At the end, where they prayed was shaken, they became filled afresh with the Spirit and proclaimed Christ with boldness.
Bold prayers lead to bold actions and exploits. One of the greatest tools Satan uses is intimidation. Intimidation weakens a man’s strength and prayer life. But once we recognise who we are in Christ and the extent of His power and authority in us, we will fear no man or demon. Are you on course for Christ and someone or something is threatening you? It is time to arise boldly like the disciples. Pray with boldness and authority and go out doing beyond what you have ever imagined for Christ.

Jeremiah 6:26-30
HOW SHALL WE REPENT?
“O my people, put on sackcloth and roll in ashes; mourn with bitter wailing….” Jeremiah 6:26, NIV
Our generation seems to be departing from the time when people understood the meaning of repentance. Before, people used to walk up the isle or respond to altar calls with tears and sincere acknowledgement of their sins. This often leads to a completely transformed life that was obvious for everyone to see. Today, the story has changed. People can now feign repentance and walk to the front with hands in their pocket and smiles on their faces. Ultimately, the heart matters most in this issue but the question is, what quality of repented sinners are we producing in the church and the world today?
In our passage, God called Israel to repentance in these words, “O daughter of my people, dress in sackcloth and roll about in ashes! Make mourning as for an only son, most bitter lamentation; for the plunderer will suddenly come upon us” (26). Weeping for an only son is a serious agony. Yet the loss of salvation or the pains of hell is worse than the loss of an only son. Beloved, you need to repent of your sins for there is danger in continuing to live the way you do. What God requires from you is godly sorrow, and a determination not to go back to the sin. You have another chance today to consider your ways.

Psalm 89:11-18
WALK IN THE LIGHT
Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O LORD. Psalm 89:15, NIV
To “walk in the light of your presence” signifies abiding in God’s love, and thus keeping His instructions/commands daily; notwithstanding the human limited sense of judgment that may desire or even argue to the contrary. Positive attitude of perpetual obedience to divine instructions will certainly elicit divine pleasure, and thus result in joy and abundant blessings to the individual, family, or even a nation.
“Respect is reciprocal,” is a popular maxim. Everyone loves to be honoured and respected by their juniors and seniors alike. Thus, appropriate rewards, sometimes in the form of physical gifts in, words of approvals, or even promotion in ranks, are usually given. The same process goes for disrespectful or disobedient folks at home, or work, or communities where appropriate punishment is to be meted out. Today’s passage shows that a delight in obeying God’s instruction will certainly attract God’s attention: it will bring divine pleasure, which will be bestowed upon obedient and faithful children/nations. Make up your mind to walk in the light always.

OUR REDEEMER IS STRONG
Yet their Redeemer is strong; the LORD Almighty is his name…. Jeremiah 50: 34, NIV
God is great, awesome in power, and incomparable in strength. The demonstration of God’s power is seen not only in providing for physical, spiritual, and emotional needs of His creatures, it is much more evident in the maintenance of law and order among the diverse occupants (humans, wild animals, sea creatures, and so on) of the world. To assert the supremacy of His power over the turbulent and arrogant nature of some of the created orders, God often settles quarrels by disciplining the guilty and absolving the innocent.
Today’s text states that God will always defend His people because they have been willingly chosen to obey His commands as their Creator. Most of their arrogant neighbours, (Gentile/uncircumcised nations) typified in today’s passage by the Babylonians, usually disobeyed the divine instructions with impunity, thinking that they will get away with it. Beloved, those who think they would get away with oppressing you have got God to contend with. They will soon regret while you will rejoice.

Isaiah 54: 1-8
GOD IS DEEPLY COMPASSIONATE
“For a brief moment I abandoned you, but with deep compassion I will bring you back…" says the LORD your Redeemer. Isaiah 54:7-8, NIV
In today’s passage, Prophet Isaiah clearly reveals to us the fact that God is forever loving and compassionate. He relates to all men in love. The text enumerates different categories of crises to which the people were subjected, ranging from barrenness to divorce, antagonism, and humiliation of various kinds and so on. Some might even have concluded that all hopes were already lost. Yet, God (through the prophet) assures of His willingness to bring about restoration that is far beyond human expectation.
Man is limited in knowledge and understanding, and easily interprets all painful experiences as punishment from God. While it is possible for people to suffer as a result of past wrong-doing, human suffering is not always the reason for crisis (cf. John 9:1-3). Even when God chooses to punish the guilty for sins committed, it is usually done in love than to inflict pain. While it is true that those who violate policies should be punished, at least for it to serve as deterrence for others, godly leaders should learn to treat each case on its own merit. In that wise, they will be emulating one of the divine attributes which is compassion.

Isaiah 48:12-19
GOD IS THE BEST TEACHER
"I am the LORD your God, who teaches you what is best for you….” Isaiah 48: 18, NIV
Teaching is considered to be one of the most effective methods of transferring knowledge and skills to the learner. Among the qualities of a good teacher is the ability to learn new things, as well as efficiency at passing it across to the learner(s) through the most appropriate methods. Amazingly, in spite of the principles and dynamics of teaching, there is still the problem of the falling standard of education. The reasons are simple: most teachers are deficient in grace. Again, some teachers are themselves struggling with some difficult issues of life, while majority does not understand the real needs and abilities of their learners.
Today’s passage clearly reveals God as the best teacher. In contrast to all human teachers, God has good content, and He uses the appropriate methods. He also has the infinite requisite knowledge about the abilities, backgrounds, as well as the inhibiting social factors that are faced by the individuals (the learners). Therefore, you will do well to submit to God’s instructions, because they are best for you. If you are a teacher, you need to learn the art of teaching from Him.

SIN KILLS
“For your hands are stained with blood, your fingers with guilt.… Whoever eats their eggs will die, and when one is broken, an adder is hatched.” Isaiah 59: 3-5, NIV
Imagine a world without punishment for sins; a world where sinners can dodge punishment, or have someone else punished for their sins. If such privilege is based on such condition as wealth, educational or social status, you can imagine how it would be! Praise be to God that a sinful man cannot escape divine punishment, no matter how hard he may try (cf. Ezekiel 18:20). God has put enough structures in place both to effect arrest, to convict guilty sinners, as well as to discharge the innocent who may be wrongfully accused.
In today’s passage, Isaiah assures about the fact that God is awesome, endearing and powerful. He is also righteous and just to give appropriate sanction to erring humankind (vv. 1-3). Though, that a man is sick or in crisis may not always be an indication that he/she is guilty of sin. However, the submission in the text should also encourage those being oppressed by human powers to know that God is impartial: He will be fair to all, no matter how hard it may seem at bending the hands of man for justice. Are you experiencing injustice? God will soon vindicate you.

GOD DELIGHTS IN SHOWING CLEMENCY
… You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy. Micah 7:18c, NIV
The God we serve is merciful. Israel was to come under God’s judgment due to her many sins as stated by prophet Micah. However, in the closing verses of the last chapter of the book of Micah, the Lord is revealed as showing clemency to His people. Specifically, the Lord promised to shepherd His people and show them His wonders (Micah 7:14-15); punish the nations that have oppressed His people (Micah 7:16-17); pardon the sins and transgressions of His people and show them His mercy (verses 18, 20).
The fact is that all of us are alive today because of the mercy of God. Otherwise, many of us would have become history. This challenges us never to run away from God whenever we miss the mark. We have the assurance as written in the scripture that we have the Lord Jesus Christ as our advocate before the Father (1 John 2:1). Christ is always pleading on our behalf before God the Father. What are those sins that are making you to run away from God? You don’t need to run away from Him but run to Him. He will show you His great mercy today.

TROUBLING TIMES OF WOE
“…Now is the time of their confusion.” Micah 7:4, NIV
The scripture reveals that righteousness exalts a nation but sin is a reproach to any people (Proverbs 14:34). The worst thing that has ever happened in the history of man is sin. Troubles of different kinds began the moment sin came into the world. Till date, sin is the root cause of man’s trouble all over the world. Prophet Micah laments the woeful consequence of sin upon the disobedience. The passage catalogues the different problems associated with sin. These include: depression, bloodshed, evil zeal, corruption, bribery, conspiracy, treachery, dishonouring parents, betrayals and a host of others.
Our world is in trouble today due to sin. The only solution is to return to God in genuine repentance and total surrender of our lives to the Lord Jesus. That trouble you are going through at the moment could be as a result of your sins? It is better you confess and forsake them to experience God’s forgiveness and deliverance. Why not hand over your entire life to the Lord Jesus Christ for repair now! Any other time may be too late!

YOU ARE MY SHEEP
“You are my sheep, the sheep of my pasture…” declares the Sovereign LORD. Ezekiel 34:31, NIV
The benefits that go with being one of God’s sheep are numerous. Being a sheep of Christ is a rare privilege that no man should rebuff if given the opportunity. Amongst others, the Lord promises to do the following for His sheep: make a covenant of peace with them; rid their land of wild beasts; bless them; make them fruitful; set them free from their bondages; grant them security and provide for them (verses 25- 28).
The question is, are you one of God’s sheep? By the way you live, can people attest that you belong to the Lord? A major trait any sheep that belongs to the Lord should have is the ability to hear the voice of the Good Shepherd and follow His leadership. When last did you hear the voice of the Good Shepherd? Following the Lord would be very difficult, if not impossible, until you hear His voice. You can become one of God’s sheep today by repenting of your sins and accepting Christ into your life as Saviour and Lord.

MY SHEEP WERE SCATTERED
“My sheep wandered over all the mountains and on every high hill….” Ezekiel 34:6, NIV
The Lord is very jealous over His children. It is for this reason that He ensures that shepherds are provided for His people at every given time. Amongst others, shepherds are to care for God’s people, strengthen the weak, heal the sick and search for lost sheep. The shepherds in Prophet Ezekiel’s time were however not faithful in these assignments. Instead of caring for the sheep, they concentrated on caring for themselves. This was not overlooked by the Lord, the Great Shepherd. He therefore announced His judgment on the shepherds.
The shepherds of our days include spiritual leaders such as pastors, political leaders and everyone occupying a leadership position. Many of these leaders are not different from the shepherds of Ezekiel’s time. In like manner, they are very selfish and insensitive. Instead of caring for and feeding the sheep, they feed on the sheep. This explains the frustration of people around the world today. People are scattered spiritually, physically, emotionally and in every area of life. If you are responsible for God’s scattered sheep in your care, make amends today before God would bring His judgment upon you.

Psalm 13
I TRUST IN YOUR STEADFAST LOVE
But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. Psalm 13:5, NIV
Life is filled with all kinds of challenges and sometimes they could be frustrating. David, in this passage, went through a challenge of prolonged and serious illness that made him to wonder if the Lord had forgotten him. We also, sometimes, respond to life’s challenges like David did. In fact, because of challenges, some have stopped having their daily devotion, going to church; and have backslid completely. These are not proper responses to challenges of life. David subsequently resorted to praying instead of complaining. He resolved to trust in God’s steadfast love and sing of it.
How are you responding to the challenges confronting you currently? Are you complaining and grumbling against God? How long will you weep over that matter? One of our hymns says “weeping will not save me.” Hope you are not quietly angry at God and slowing down in your commitment to Him? Hope you are not considering the option of quitting the faith? Why not pray like David and trust in God’s steadfast love?

JUSTICE, KINDNESS AND HUMILITY
He has showed you, O man … to act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8, NIV
The Lord is ever faithful and loving to His people. He has truly loved His own with an everlasting love (Jeremiah 31:3). It is however sad that God’s people have not always been loyal to Him as He is to them. Our love for God is compared to the morning mist (Hosea 6:4). This should not be so. In today’s passage, the Lord accused Israel of not following His requirements. The Lord delivered them from Egypt, raised leaders for them and disallowed Balak and Balaam to harm them (verses 1-5) but Israel still lived against God’s requirements. Consequently, the Lord expressed His displeasure to them and required that they “act justly,” “love mercy” and “walk humbly with God” rather than offer Him sacrifices.
Brethren, our God is not difficult. His requirements are simple and clear. He expects us as we journey through our Christian pilgrimage to act justly (rightly), love mercy (kindness) and walk in humility. This is what will please the Lord and not our gift offerings. May the Lord help us to do these always.

Numbers 23: 1-12
YOU HAVE BLESSED MY ENEMIES
Balak said to Balaam, “What have you done to me? I brought you to curse my enemies, but you have done nothing but bless them!” Numbers 23:11, NIV
An interesting thing about this story is that while Balak and Balaam were making frantic and unrelenting efforts to harm Israel, God’s people were not aware of their evil plots. They were just living their normal lives. As long as there was no iniquity in their camp, the enemy could not succeed. The challenge is that we should live lives that are pleasing to God. A pure and holy life is a defence against the enemies’ attacks. A child of God that is living right will surely be safe from harm.
Therefore, in the name of the Lord Jesus, the name that is above all names, may every Balaam and Balak that is secretly plotting your destruction be eternally disappointed today and forever. May every curse they may have pronounced over your life be turned to blessing. May every altar they may have erected to harm you be defiled, overturned and destroyed by the blood of the lamb. May the grace to live pure and holy life be released upon you today and always. Go into this day in peace.
