19/03/2024: Christian WATCH Exposition. Topic: Humility & Holy Spirit.

Text: ```James 4:10 KJV
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.```

COMMENTARY
Humility here has been construed by believers to mean suppression of the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit does not have pride, arrogance. Perhaps apostle Paul noticed a similar thing in the Thessalonian Church when he warned them not to quench Holy Spirit. (1 Thessalonians 5:19).  Humility as taught in the epistle of James does not relate to spiritual manifestation but self. James rather wanted to teach about how to limit Self and magnify the Spirit. 

You might discipline yourself not to talk or raise voice in order not to be noticed. You might be doing that in good faith but in so doing many people have shut up the Holy Spirit. When the Spirit of God want to find expression through you, open your mouth and speak up. Many people have received the Holy Spirit but it's not showing in their Prayers because they don't want to speak what they don't know. If only your prayers should be limited to what you know alone, you might end up in devil's pot of soup.

Speaking in tongues happens suddenly when our sense is not able coordinate the surge of utterances in our mouths. Praying with your senses is good but allowing Holy Spirit use your tongue to pray to God is better. Don't always limit your prayers to what you know. Allow the surging of utterances to flow out because the Spirit knows better than you.

 Food for thought: Many have erroneously quenched the Spirit in the name of humility.

 Prayer: ```Lord help me to access the fullest of the Holy Spirit potential for me 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...
