JUNE 12: NATIONAL DEMOCRACY DAY

Daniel 2:21-23 MSG

21 He changes the seasons and guides history, He raises up kings and also brings them down, he provides both intelligence and discernment, 22 He opens up the depths, tells secrets, sees in the dark - light spills out of him! 23 God of all my ancestors, all thanks! all praise!

This is the Word of the LORD.

The LORD reigns over Nigeria. Alleluia!

We are not alone.
God is with us.

INSIGHT AND FORESIGHT

" I have more understanding than all my teachers, For Your testimonies are my meditation.
I understand more than the ancients, Because I keep Your precepts" ( Psalm 119:99,100)

David claims to have got more understanding than his teachers and the aged because of the insight the WORD of God gives.
This would sound like a lofty claim but that is characteristic of those whose God is JEHOVAH. He lifts the poor from the dust and raises the beggar from the Ash heap. He uses the foolish things of this world to shame the wise.

This month He will take your adversaries unawares, before they conspire the Lord would have revealed it, for there shall be no hiding place for evil against you. The Lord shall watch over your going out, and your coming in, from this time, and for ever..Amen.

Happy new month

STEPPING STONE

" Then He looked at them and said, “What then is this that is written:

‘The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone" ( Luke 20:17)

Chief Corner Stone is one of the several phrases that describe the Lord Jesus Christ in the New Testament. This in itself is in fulfilment of one of the predictions about the messianic mission in the Prophecy of Isaiah ;

"Therefore thus says the Lord God:

'Behold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation,
A tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation;
Whoever believes will not act hastily', " ( Isaiah 28:16).

These sayings indicate that Jesus is a sure foundation on whom if anyone builds, he shall be established. But He was to be tested, through hardship, rejection, accusations and temptations and would eventually be found invincible and inevitable.

This is the one in whom you have come to trust. So every trial, hardship and several challenges of the present time, which normally could be stumbling block to life's dreams and aspirations are turning to your stepping stone to progress, peace and fulfilment in Jesus name,Amen. You will survive and our Nation shall survive and eventually stand out among other nations of the world. Because Jesus lives having been tried and now stands the anchor of all souls. Therefore you also shall live. As those who believe in Him will not be shaken.

We declare that You shall not fret, nor be shaken no matter the volume of the quakes around, because your anchor is sure and steadfast.

Happy New Month.
