Walk With Me #Deararn.

Dear friend, do you know that there is no running away from God? No escape from Gods presence? He created all things; He fills all things. The psalmist tells us that darkness and light are the same to him. Has He sent you on a mission? Buckle up and go! Do away with any and everyone who detracting you from purpose way. No sentiments! They may be like Jonah, sleeping whilst you are rowing. Shake them up and send them out of your boat . Point them in the way they should go. Remember, no one can run from God. His arms are big enough to catch you.

If your middle name is Jonah, would you turn now and face the assignment God gave you? Are you not tired of going round when you know exactly what He would have you do? How many people do you want to die before you take on the baton? Brother/Sister Jonah, can you please get off our boat and face Nineveh?

I can never escape from your Spirit!

I can never get away from your presence!

If I go up to heaven, you are there;

if I go down to the grave, you are there.

If I ride the wings of the morning,

if I dwell by the farthest oceans,

even there your hand will guide me,

and your strength will support me.

I could ask the darkness to hide me

and the light around me to become night—

but even in darkness I cannot hide from you.

To you the night shines as bright as day.

Darkness and light are the same to you. Ps 139:7-11

JESUS, OUR ROLE MODEL.

Life offers us many models; people have walked on the same roads we find ourselves. Folks have faced similar situations. Their stories and their lives are our witnesses, but Jesus is the ultimate. He is our perfect role model. He is love, friend shepherd, rock, refuge, brother and the list goes on. For us to live successful lives, we must stop to consider how He did it whilst he was here.

Jesus the man, was selfless, never seeking to impress, humble and thought highly of others, respected authority, gave of Himself.

My beloved, there is your model, you will do well to pattern your life after Him.

Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.

You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.

Though he was God,

he did not think of equality with God

as something to cling to.

Instead, he gave up his divine privileges;

he took the humble position of a slave

and was born as a human being.

When he appeared in human form,

he humbled himself in obedience to God

and died a criminal’s death on a cross.

Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor

and gave him the name above all other names,

that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,

in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord,

to the glory of God the Father. Phil 2:3-11

They chose to wall themselves in rather than let some outsider come in. They denied themselves everyday lives so no one could not infringe. The people of Jericho heard the news of the Israelites taking over everywhere they go. These people, news reports, were like locusts. They left desolation wherever they trod. Do you blame the inhabitants of Jericho for fearing the worst?

There were reports that the Israelites had earlier come to spy the land. Whatever they wanted, the people of Jericho were not going to let them get. The only problem was, no one can fight a covenant people and win. The Israelites had the promise. They were God’s people, and the truth was, there was no stopping them. The same is true for you, my beloved; if you are in the line of purpose alley, there is absolutely nothing the devil and his cohorts can do about you.

Now the gates of Jericho were securely barred because of the Israelites. No one went out and no one came in. (Joshua 6:1)

For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth.

(2 Corinthians 13:8)

Joshua 6:1-27 recounts the story of how the children of Israel took down Jericho. Let us call this; The Noise of Silence. The strategy was simple. 'Get the priests and the fighting men out on the mission. Only one thing to do: the priests were to lead, and the warriors were to march around the city walls. Go around the walls once daily for six days and say nothing. Really, say absolutely nothing for a whole six days? On the seventh day, they were to go around seven times and shout.'

What was the silence supposed to do? And why for six days? What was going on? I mean, the people must have wondered what God was up to. It is true He had done many weird things in times past. This beats everyone's imagination. Did anyone consider how thick the walls were? What was the sense in just walking around a fortified wall and you could not even talk to your neighbour? What would the noise of the seventh day do? Only God knew.

imagine that the people behind the walls worried themselves sick, hearing footsteps every day. 'When will they attempt breaking down the wall? What were they even doing just marching?' They must have wondered to no end. 'This people's reputation was that God was with them, and they take over other people's territories.'

Let's bring this home. Who got a peep into your destiny and is trying to stop your advance? What strategy has the Lord given you to deal with the situation? The Noise of Silence confuses the enemy. Many times, the enemy believes they have you all figured out, but God has a joker. He always does, what with fighting with hailstones, or just singing praises when the norm is that you carry weapons.

The shout of victory makes the enemy shiver. Why shout, how can shouting make such a wall fall flat. It did not crumble. It fell flat. Who does that? God!

Beloved, God knows the strategy for your fights. Like David, you need always to stop to ask. Walking with God means the enemy can never figure you out. Being a covenant child makes you an enigma to your world. Whoever stands in the way of God's people risks living a cursed life. God knows the way out of whatever situation. Just let Him lead.

Prayer: Every territory that is yours and right now is being walled and fortified, may the wisdom of God will bring it down.

Having gotten your territory, you must stay with God. You cannot meddle with the enemies' cursed artefacts no matter how costly and attractive. Every Jericho wall has to come down. Your destiny, your inheritance cannot be behind any walls. Pray, my beloved, pray!

Revelation is key to a meaningful existence. To live a productive life, we must know whose we are, what we are about, where we are going etc. The fact that God placed us in families is proof that identity is important. The Bible records in the Book of Joshua that children would ask their parents why certain traditions exist and their reply was to recap their family history. We must also learn to ask questions.

…to serve as a sign among you. In the future, when your children ask you, ‘What do these stones mean?’ tell them that the flow of the Jordan was cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord. When it crossed the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. These stones are to be a memorial to the people of Israel forever.” (Joshua 4:6-7)

Jesus asked His disciples, who the people said He was. Their answer, some thought He was just a prophet; others thought John the Baptist; some even said Elijah or even Jeremiah. Whatever they thought of Him would inform how they related to Him. The question to you is "what do you think of Jesus?" From whose eyes are you seeing Him."? How do you relate with Him?

Your response would inform your relations with Him. When you get that Jesus is the Christ, your destiny will be unlocked like it did for Peter, the disciple. Once a reed, unstable but by Christ became a rock

For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.

(Psalms 36:9)

My friend, your identity is found only in Jesus the Christ. Pray, that He will reveal your identity so that your mission on earth can be adequately accomplished.

My dear friend, what is your faith worth? How firm is your foundation? Can you truly say that that what or who you believe in has what it takes to take you through what your world is presenting to you at this time? Are you able to defend your faith in the face of the trials at hand?

If you cannot readily answer the questions you need to retrace your steps. Run to Jesus, understand why He came and what He did. Truth is, He came to lead you back to the Father, show you the triumphant way of life and living and give you your own inheritance.

Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love

(1 Corinthians 16:13-14)

Cling to your faith in Christ, and keep your conscience clear. For some people have deliberately violated their consciences; as a result, their faith has been shipwrecked. 1 Timothy 1:19

Prayer is an interchange between father and child, a desire for communion and a yearning for closeness. in prayer, you should spend quality time, express your dependence on God and a willingness to know and be known you would come out with a deeper knowledge of who God is and who you are in Him. He would show you His heart and u will bask in His love for you.

Prayer is going to God and receiving instructions. soldiers reporting for duty and getting marching orders, deployment, depending on the masters will.

To be on top of our game in this life, Prayer is crucial, we should be happy to go to God, take instructions and act accordingly. Our duty is to bring Him pleasure and show gratitude, pledge our devotion to Him and His interests,
