VERILY

“But verily God hath heard me; He hath attended to the voice of my prayer. Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor His mercy from me.” - Psalm 66:19-20

If you are reading this right now, Shout Hallelujah! God has given you eyes and access to the internet. He has made you alive and blessed you with grace and mercy even when you don't deserve it. As a matter of fact, there is no time that we are deserving of such goodness, yet we enjoy it daily.

His loving kindness towards us is boundless. Verily He continues to keep us. He hears your prayers and the Holy Spirit prays for you. If you will turn to and remain in Him; He will abide with you and His mercies, goodness and love will envelop you and be visible in all areas of your life. Yes. Verily do not forget your God.

UNTOWARD GENERATION

“...Save yourselves from this untoward generation.” - Acts 2:40

Untoward, according to the Oxford Dictionary of English means: unusual and unexpected, and usually unpleasant. Needless to say it has a lot of 'un' or negative connotations. It does not mean iconoclastic or different in a good way. In the context it is used in the Bible, it is the collective derailment of a large group of people, of a generation.

Our generation has largely departed from God. We let other things take priority and worse, some claim they do not even believe in the existence of an Almighty. I would rather believe I am beautifully and wonderfully made, than that I am the haphazard side-effect of some big bang.

Save yourself from this generation. Many things are explained in so-called logic but all such theories are full of loopholes. Look into your life and the different circumstances. Can you truly account for everything? Can you truly deny the existence of a greater one?

Jesus is waiting with His arms wide open. Why don't you go to Him now and leave the depression and solitude that not having a Saviour brings. Save yourself from this untoward generation.

“With many other words He warned them; and He pleaded with them, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.”” -Acts 2:40

THUS SAITH THE LORD

“...Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.” - Exodus 9:13

What a blessing it is to be born free, without shackles! We are born free, given excellent new lives by our God but the cares of the world cause us to derail. It shackles us down and threatens to rupture our relationship with our Father. We must not allow this. We must seek liberation so we can live in the fullness of His love and mercy. We must seek liberation so we can worship our God.

Awesome God! Other minor gods and things we worship or turn to as our gods only want such obeisance that shackles us down. A god that requires you to put other people in shackles does not want your good. A god that throws you into trouble after trouble, brouhaha after brouhaha, disgrace after disgrace is not for you.

Let the Lord God Almighty be your God as it should be. Liberate yourself from dead gods. And if you seek liberation in any area of your life, look to the Lord. May He fight for you and give you the victory in every area of your life as He gave the Israelites. He has promised, He will never fail.
