Text:
```Joel 2:19 NKJV The Lord will answer and say to His people, “Behold, I will send you grain and new wine and oil, And you will be satisfied by them; I will no longer make you a reproach among the nations.```

COMMENTARY
Oxford dictionary defined laughing stock as a person or thing subjected to general mockery or ridicule. This drew my attention to God who sees all things, who knows all things. Omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent God. He truly saw the afflictions of his people. Your sorrows and endless woes were not hidden before the sight of all knowing God.

_Isaiah 43:2 NKJV When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you._ Your horrible experiences could have made you think whether God is still there. However there are different phases of experience in following God. He is the God of the day and also God in the night. He is God of the valley and also God of the mountain. Whether you are in squalor or in splendor, all times seasons and occasions, God is still God.

Don't cry too much because of the night hours, the word of God says that: "weeping may endure for the night but joy comes in the morning"(Psalm 30:5). God arose and spoke through Prophet Joel a word of consolation. In every sides the Lord has rebuked you and you were embarrassed, harassed by the devil and reproached by men, God is speaking peace this year. God is saying that He will no longer allow you to be a reproach among the nations.

Food for thought:
Being a laughing stock is not finality of your existence. God can change a laughing stock to a celebrity._

Prayer:
```Lord change my misery, turn my afflictions into favour in Jesus name.```

 31/12/2023 *Christian WATCH Exposition* *Topic:* _Habit 1. Roaming around_  *Text:*  ```Job 2:1-2 AMP Job Loses His Health Again there was a day when the sons of God (angels) came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan (adversary, accuser) also came among them to present himself before the Lord. The Lord said to Satan, “From where have you come?” Then Satan answered the Lord, “From roaming around on the earth and from walking around on it.”```  *COMMENTARY*  As children we grew up seeing Almanac painting of a dark human like image with tail, hons and horrible dentition being displayed on walls of our houses as Satan. Some of these almanac displayed Jesus and Satan having a soccer. Other Almanac can be a wrestling match between Satan and Jesus and things like that. Satan cannot be known by all those images. Satan is a spirit and manifest through human beings. Therefore in this study we shall look into the habits and manifestations of Satan. One of the ...

Topic: Habit 5. Distractions.   Text :  ```Job 2:1-2 AMP Job Loses His Health Again there was a day when the sons of God (angels) came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan (adversary, accuser) also came among them to present himself before the Lord. The Lord said to Satan, “From where have you come?” Then Satan answered the Lord, “From roaming around on the earth and from walking around on it.”```   COMMENTARY   Uninvited yet attending, for what? Why is Satan always going to the gathering of the children of God? Presenting himself to the Lord is not his priority, he is chiefly looking for whom to distract. As children of God testifies of triumphing over evil with good, the children of the disobedience take pleasure in doing evil and testifies when they succeed in multiplying evil, especially when their intended distractions work out and a child of God compromise to follow evil. Have you wondered why believers compromise? It starts from this ki...

02/02/2024: Christian WATCH Exposition. Topic: Illegal Structures.   Text :  ```Jeremiah 1:7‭-‬10 NKJV But the Lord said to me: “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ For you shall go to all to whom I send you, And whatever I command you, you shall speak. Do not be afraid of their faces, For I am with you to deliver you,” says the Lord. Then the Lord put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the Lord said to me: “Behold, I have put My words in your mouth. See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, To root out and to pull down, To destroy and to throw down, To build and to plant.”```   COMMENTARY One of the foundational significant difference between Prophetic ministers and the rest of the people in the society is eyes. God gives ability to identify original architectural master plans to the Prophets. God give them ability to read and interpret geographical and geological map of families and individual persons lives. God's purpose and plans a...
