Our Weekend Meditation💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦⛪⛪⛪⛪⛪⛪⛪⛪♨️STORY BEHIND THE GLORYMemory Verse:”Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and enter into his glory*- Luke 24:26.TEXT: 2 CHRONICLES 17:12-191.) KEY VERSE:”And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceedingly; and he built in Judah castles, and cities of store” (2 CHRONICLES 17:12).2.) THE TEXT:(2 CHRONICLES 17:12-19)12 And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceedingly; and he built in Judah castles, and cities of store.13 And he had much business in the cities of Judah: and the men of war, mighty men of valour, were in Jerusalem.14 And these are the numbers of them according to the house of their fathers: Of Judah, the captains of thousands; Adnah the chief, and with him mighty men of valour three hundred thousand.15 And next to him was Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and fourscore thousand.16 And next him was Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself unto the LORD; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valour.17 And of Benjamin; Eliada a mighty man of valour, and with him armed men with bow and shield two hundred thousand.18 And next him was Jehozabad, and with him an hundred and fourscore thousand ready prepared for the war.19 These waited on the king, beside those whom the king put in the fenced cities throughout all Judah.3.) THE MESSAGE:I.) Often times, people see and admire an already made and successful man. They see his glory as it shines bright and desire to be like him. But many do not really know the story behind such glory neither are they willing to learn from what it cost to reach such an enviable height.II.) Successful men do not just appear out of the blues; they have stories to tell about their rise to limelight.III.) Our passage today gives us a glimpse of Jehoshaphat’s wealth, strength and glory. He worked assiduously hard to fortify his kingdom and sought the Lord diligently like his forefather, David. He jettisoned the prevailing lifestyle of Baal worship and refused to be influenced by the vices of the neighbouring nation of Israel. Consequently, the presence of the Lord strengthened and prospered him with the glory.IV.) It is not enough to desire the kind of glory you see in highly prospered children of God; you should be willing to learn from their story of deep devotion and dedication to the Lord as well as their discipline and dutiful devotion to their works. Avoid all temptations to cut corners and cheat in order to be successful.V.) The Lord is willing to bless you with His presence and strengthen you to prosper as He did for Jehoshaphat if you too will look away from the common practices around you, fear the Lord and diligently follow His ways. Your life will be glorious and your story, sweet to tell.Don’t just admire the glory; learn from the story behind it!♨️ PrayersHeavenly Father, I thank you for your love and support for my life and family.Father grant me the glory that I deserve for the pathway you have taken me through.Help me in thy faithfulness and mercy. Strengthen me with thy inner strength and blessed me to be a blessing to all.My going out today is favoured, my returning is favoured. And whatever will come my way this day will be the manifestation of God’s favour in my life in Jesus mighty name Amen.⛪⛪⛪⛪⛪⛪⛪⛪Hammer Word Cares
OUR WEEKEND MELODY💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦HE KNOWS YOUR WORKSBible Text: Revelation 3:8″I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.”Psalm 94:7“Yet they say, The Lord shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it”You can often tell a man’s attitude to God by observing his actions. A man who holds God dearly will refrain himself from some actions and when he fails, you can tell that he is deeply sorrowful. On the other hand, men who live by their own standards do not put God into consideration in determining what to do and will often not be remorseful if they take the wrong actions. All that matters to the second set of men, is to win at any cost.Psalms 94:3″LORD, how long shall the wicked,how long shall the wicked triumph?”These men are proud, wicked and boastful, often preying on othersPsalms 94:2 – 5″Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth:render a reward to the proud.RD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph? How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?They break in pieces thy people, O LORD,and afflict thine heritage.”The frame of mind of the second set of men is that God is not paying attention to all that is going on and even if He does, He will overlook it.Psalms 94:7″Yet they say, The LORD shall not see,neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.”Child of God, don’t let this be your mind-set. You may look all around you and see that so many are thriving by taking the evil road (Psalm 94:3). You have asked the question countless times as the psalmist also did, “Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?”Psalms 94:16″Who will rise up for me against the evildoers?or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?”and you have found no one. Please be assured that God in heaven knows and sees all. He is the one that planted the ear and formed the eye and so he hears and sees all.Psalms 94:9″He that planted the ear, shall he not hear?he that formed the eye, shall he not see?”He may choose to bear long with you but one day he will avenge you.Luke 17:7 – 8″But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?”And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?”When that day comes his vengeance will be swiftIn the book of Revelation the Lord comes out sharing with us all that he knows (Revelation 3:1-22). He knows your works. He knows when people around you think you are alive but you are really dead.Revelation 3:1”And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.”He knows how many in your church or nation remain undefiledRevelation 3:4″Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.”He knows how much strength you have and how you have persevered and kept His word in spite of your little strength (Rev.3:8). He knows those that belong to Satan but but claim to be children of light .Revelation 3:9″Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.”He knows when you are neither cold nor hot. He knows when you are full of yourself and pompous without knowing your own wretchedness, miserableness, poverty and nakednessRevelation 3:16, 17″So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:”It is not just that he knows these things but everyone will get a reward for that which they do. So child of God, even though it may seem as if the Lord does not see or know what you’re passing through, He does and in the fullness of time he will redress it.Galatians 4:4″But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,”and each man will be rewarded according to what he has done.Revelation 22:12″And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.”Dear beloved, God knows everyone and our work very well, God recognizes us and rewarded us as per our deeds. If we follow and keep His teachings and commandments, if we remain faithful and obedient with God, surely we will be blessed, not just in the life after but here on earth now very soon. May God bless you all and May His grace, love and favour be upon you and your family and keep you under shadows of His wings to be obedient and faithful servant of God in Jesus mighty name..Amen.🌸🍂Have a Blessed and Wonderful day in Jesus name..Amen🍂🌸🌿🌾🌿🌾🌿🌾🌿🌾🌿🌾🌿Hammer Word Cares

HAMMER WORD BIBLE CHURCH, ABAK⛪💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦MIDWEEK DEVOTIONMORNING 🌈”For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him which is the head of all principality and power” — Colossians 2:9, 10All the attributes of Christ, as God and man, are at our disposal. All the fulness of the Godhead, whatever that marvellous term may comprehend, is ours to make us complete.He cannot endow us with the attributes of Deity without our believe; but he has done all that can be done, for he has made even his divine power and Godhead subservient to our salvation. His omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence, omnibenevolence, immutability and infallibility, are all combined for our defence.Arise, believer, and behold the Lord Jesus yoking the whole of his divine Godhead to the chariot of salvation! How vast His grace, how firm his faithfulness, how unswerving his immutability, how infinite his power, how limitless his knowledge! All these are by the Lord Jesus made the pillars of the temple of salvation; and all, without diminution of their infinity, are covenanted to us as our perpetual inheritance.The fathomless love of the Saviour’s heart is every drop of it ours; every sinew in the arm of might, every jewel in the crown of majesty, the immensity of divine knowledge, and the sternness of divine justice, all are ours, and shall be employed for us.The whole of Christ, in his adorable character as the Son of God, is by himself made over to us most richly to enjoy. His wisdom is our direction, his knowledge our instruction, his power our protection, his justice our surety, his love our comfort, his mercy our solace, and his immutability our trust. He makes no reserve, but opens the recesses of the Mount of God and bids us dig in its mines for the hidden treasures.“All, all, all are yours,” saith he, “be ye satisfied with favour and full of the goodness of the Lord.” Oh! how sweet thus to behold Jesus, and to call upon him with the certain confidence that in seeking the interposition of his love or power, we are but asking for that which he has already faithfully promised.♨️ PrayersHeavenly Father, I thank you this day because of your love and faithfulness towards me and my family. The Gospel says faithful is he that promised who will also perform it. Father, by your faithfulness, empower me, bless me and make me your instrument of blessings in Jesus mighty name Amen.This day Lord my going out is blessed, my returning is blessed and everything that I will touch today is blessed in Jesus mighty name Amen.Evening Devotion🌈🌈”Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby” — Hebrews 12:11How happy are tried Christians, afterwards? No calm more deep than that which succeeds a storm. Who has not rejoiced in clear shinings after rain? Victorious banquets are for well-exercised soldiers. After killing the lion we eat the honey; after climbing the Hill ‘difficulty’, we sit down in the arbour to rest; after traversing the Valley of humiliation, after fighting with Apollyon, the shining one appears, with the healing branch from the tree of life. Our sorrows, like the passing keels of the vessels upon the sea, leave a silver line of holy light behind them “afterwards.” It is peace, sweet, deep peace, which follows the horrible turmoil which once reigned in our tormented, guilty souls. See, then, the happy estate of a Christian! He has his best things last, and he therefore in this world receives his worst things first. But even his worst things are “afterward” good things, harsh ploughings yielding joyful harvests. Even now he grows rich by his losses, he rises by his falls, he lives by dying, and becomes full by being emptied; if, then, his grievous afflictions yield him so much peaceable fruit in this life, what shall be the full vintage of joy “afterwards” in heaven? If his dark nights are as bright as the world’s days, what shall his days be? If even his starlight is more splendid than the sun, what must his sunlight be? If he can sing in a dungeon, how sweetly will he sing in heaven! If he can praise the Lord in the fires, how will he extol him before the eternal throne! If evil be good to him now, what will the overflowing goodness of God be to him then? Oh, blessed “afterward!” Who would not be a Christian? Who would not bear the present cross for the crown which cometh afterwards? But herein is work for patience, for the rest is not for today, nor the triumph for the present, but “afterward.” Wait, O soul, and let patience have her perfect work.Prayers ♨️Heavenly Father, I thank you for a worthy opportunity to live and serve you. Thank you blessed Jesus, thank you blessed Holy Spirit. Father though for a moment I encounter difficulties, but I know my Redeemer lives, He will stand for me. Father I have promised that I will stand up for Jesus as a good soldier of the Cross. Help me to raise the banner of righteousness everywhere I go Lord. Empower me as a true vessel of purpose. Bless me this day with all spiritual blessings in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus, Amen.💚This message comes to you from HAMMER WORD BIBLE CHURCH, 4 Ukpana Lane, Abak, AKWA IBOM STATE.💚Join us as we celebrate the church second Anniversary,2022.From May 27 to May 29,2022.💚Time: 4-7.00 pm Friday and Saturday, and 7.00Am on Sunday, 29/5/2022.💚God bless you as you come.⛪⛪⛪⛪⛪⛪⛪💚HammerWord Cares 🌈Email: hammerwordonlinechur@gmail.comTel.:+2349060777722
