20/02/2024: Christian WATCH Exposition. Topic: Testing of our faith.

 Text: ```Genesis 22:1‭-‬2 AMP
Now after these things, God tested [the faith and commitment of] Abraham and said to him, “Abraham!” And he answered, “Here I am.” God said, “Take now your son, your only son [of promise], whom you love, Isaac, and go to the region of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.”```
 
COMMENTARY
Our faith is the engine and membrane of our soul. It means our beliefs and our confidence. The Bible says that "..as a man thinketh in his heart, so he is." Many times trials come to prove our faith in God. The time of trial is a crucial and important time that would determine what would become of us thereafter. It is like an exam period. Those who did well in the exam are promoted to next level and those who didn't do well keep repeating and rotating life in the same level.

Did Abraham's level change after the testing of his faith? Let us look at what the scripture said: In Genesis 15:6 we are told that "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness." The Apostle James cites this verse and asserts that because of his faith Abraham became the “friend of God” (James 2:23).

What is going to be your report? That is the report card of Abraham many years ago when he passed through this class called: "trial." Do you know that trial is a class and it is designed for the purification of thoughts and minds of those who would get promoted in their spiritual journey? How you handle trials would determine your next level. We have all at various times prayed for a higher level. Brethren, trial is a signal that your next level is by the corner. Don't always be hostile, sad, and doubtful in the face of trials. Go through it with a smile. The trials that took Joseph from Prison to the Palace came as chains which he passed all the stages flawlessly.

Food for thought: Exams precede promotion. Every growth is a product of trials.

Prayer: ```Lord teach me how to manage my trials with faith and confidence that is unshakable 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...
