11/01/2024: Christian WATCH Exposition. Topic: Navigating through mockery and misery.

Text:
 ```I Samuel 1:5‭-‬7 NKJV
But to Hannah he would give a double portion, for he loved Hannah, although the Lord had closed her womb. And her rival also provoked her severely, to make her miserable, because the Lord had closed her womb. So it was, year by year, when she went up to the house of the Lord, that she provoked her; therefore she wept and did not eat.```
 
COMMENTARY
One of the hard moment to navigate through in life is a moment of mockery. Your head would be down and you would feel heavy like a vulture soaked in the rain. If you are walking to pass through a crowd, you will feel heaviness of your head as if your head and trunk are heavier than your legs to carry. Hannah the would be mother of a great Prophet journeyed on this lonely road of mockers before arriving at the birth of uncommon Prophet. When what you carry is probably too glorious, mockery would attack you like a monster to discourage and pressurize you to quit.

Assuming Hannah became aggressive, and exchanging words with her co wife Peninnah, would the result still be the same? What amount of arguments or defences should she have put up to clear her shame and insult in the society? Divine invisible hand rested on Hannah and triggered her into doing what ordinary woman wouldn't have done. Do you think it was a common thing to shed such tears with groaning early hours of the day? Do you think it is ordinary flesh would guide you into fasting? While people were celebrating, eating and drinking, Hannah did not eat but with fasting, weeping and praying stood before God to negotiate her future.

When you have a future, don't engage in exchange of words to reply insults and mockery. Manage your emotions carefully and face God in prayers, travail negotiating your future than wasting time with your adversaries. Hannah understood through insight that great things are ahead of her. One of the things that would guide you to avoid the avoidable is revelational knowledge. If you have revelations about the future, then you can face the future and hit the access gates until it's open.

Food for thought:
Mockery motivates people to grow in intimacy with their maker.

Prayer:
```Help me Lord to manage my mockery, nurture my visions to grow into a testimony.```

 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...
