25/02/2024: Christian WATCH Exposition. Topic: Sacrifice opens and Shuts Spiritual doors.

 Text: ```Numbers 23:1‭-‬4 AMP
Then Balaam said to Balak, “Build seven altars for me here, and prepare for me seven bulls and seven rams here.” Barak did just as Balaam had said, and Balak and Balaam offered a bull and a ram on each altar. Then Balaam said to Balak, “Stand beside your burnt offering and I will go. Perhaps the Lord will come to meet me, and whatever He shows me I will tell you.” So he went to a desolate hill. Now God met Balaam, who said to Him, “I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered a bull and a ram on each altar.”```
 
COMMENTARY
Sacrifices are tools for attracting Spiritual favour.  Sacrifice opens and also shuts Spiritual doors. It can activate blessings and can also activate curses. While going to meet the Spirit or have a meeting with the Spirit(divinity) you must arrange yourself properly. In the Jewish tradition, they don't go to the Synagogue or to see their priests empty-handed. Bringing Sacrifices to the Church or giving the the Priests opens a chapter of discussion between you and the divinity.

Our nature of Sacrifices(giving) influences God's reaction towards us. Abel got God's attention before his elder brother because of his sacrifice. Being elderly wasn't a guarantee for Cain to secure God's approval.
_Deuteronomy 16:16 “Three times a year all your males shall appear before the Lord your God in the place which He chooses, at the Feast of Unleavened Bread (Passover) and at the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost) and at the Feast of Booths (Tabernacles), and they shall not appear before the Lord empty-handed._

What could be the reason why all the Sacrifices provided by Balak could not aid him to curse the Israelites? The reason is not far-fetched, there was a stronger covenant of blessing speaking on their behalf. Abraham made greater Sacrifices. God established a covenant of blessing through Abraham and no man could curse his descendants. Also to the Church, God gave Jesus Christ to die and redeem all that shall run into Him. He also gave us the Holy Spirit who is in us making sure that we are not brought under any curse. The Holy Spirit guides us so that we do not sin or fall prey to the devil.

Food for thought: Greater Sacrifices shuts doors of curses and calamity.

Prayer: ```Lord open my eyes to understand how to employ sacrifices to speak on my behalf in Jesus name.```

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...
