02/03/2024: Christian WATCH Exposition. Topic: Ceasefire

 Text: ```Genesis 4:6‭-‬7 NLT “Why are you so angry?” the Lord asked Cain. “Why do you look so dejected? You will be accepted if you do what is right. But if you refuse to do what is right, then watch out! Sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you. But you must subdue it and be its master.”```
 
COMMENTARY
The term 'ceasefire' is the antonym of the military expression 'open fire' and signifies a call to terminate hostilities. Ceasefire agreements are regularly announced as part of a peace process and can suggest a level of commitment between warring parties to seek an end to armed conflict. In the matter between Cain and his brother, Abel was unaware of the raging, tussle and hostility of his beloved brother. God was aware of the fight and called on Cain to lay down his arms and embrace peace.


God stood in the middle calling on Cain to desist from anger and rage against his brother. The problem is with Cain for he has not done what is right. Abel did what was right and got blessed according to the fat offering and the contents of his heart. Many at times God will call you not to take certain actions. To withdraw from replying to violent blackmail against your person. Are you aware that this kind of evil fire that consumed Cain is kindled in every human heart by the devil? _Jeremiah 17:9 NLT "The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is?"_

Do you use to cease the fire of your heart whenever the devil try to kindle it or you use to open fire? God calls us back the same way He did to Cain but human beings are more willing to be driven by the devil rather than yielding to God. Do you use to cease the fire of gossip, slander and malign when the urge comes or you open fire on people at slightest provocation? God is calling on everyone to repent and embrace peace, love and kindness towards his brother. Be your brothers' keeper

Food for thought: Is it easier to be a brother's keeper or be a brother's destroyer?

Prayer: ```Lord help me cease the fire of my heart. Teach me how to embrace peace at all times. How to embrace peace at my place of work, home and anywhere 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...
