God is mindful of you

God is mindful of you 

"And that's the story: When God destroyed the Cities of the Plain, he was mindful of Abraham and first got Lot out of there before he blasted those cities off the face of the Earth." (Gen.19.29) 

I have prayed and heard others praying too, that God will do for us all we have asked for and even those we did not remember to ask for. But some people will think that God will not do such "things" we did not remember to prayer for. 

Scripture says we should ask and that's true but scripture also says that God will do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think.(see Eph:3:20) Those things we did not remember to ask for fall into the category of exceedingly abundantly above all ... 

And that was the case in our text. Abraham wanted Lot and family saved but did not remember to specifically tell God to save them rather he said:

"He wouldn't quit, "Don't get angry, Master--this is the last time. What if you only come up with ten? For the sake of only ten, I won't destroy the city."(Gen.18.32) 

But God did not find ten righteous people in Sodom so he destroyed it. But our text says that God "was mindful of Abraham and first got Lot out of there before he blasted those cities off the face of the Earth."

Do not think for one nano or millisecond that God is not mindful of you. He got Lot out of there before he destroyed the cities. The mind of God is full of you - you fill God's mind. He is constantly and consistently thinking of ways to favour you. Jeremiah tells us that much. (see Jer: 28:11, Rom:8:28) Will you align and cooperate with him? 

"What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? (Ps.8.4 KJV)

Good day,
Have a great day today,

What's in a name?

What's in a name?  "He named him Noah, saying, "This one will give us a break from the hard work of farming the ground that GOD cursed." (Gen.5.29)  Names have prophetic attributes in them. When a thing is named, the name defines what it does and what it cannot do. When a person is named, his future is foretold, especially when the persons parents are in tune with the agenda of God. But that person has to work to bring that prophecy to reality.  John the baptist was a case in point when the wrong name would have been given. If the parent had not listened and obeyed God's instruction but instead bow to family and societal pressure.  "And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John." (Luke.1.60)  Another example is Benjamin, the second son from the loved-wife of Jacob. As the mother was dying from the pain of childbirth, he called the child Benoni but his father says not so, he shall be called Benjamin  "With her las

Jesus is the answer to the sin problem

Jesus is the answer to the sin problem  "When he served as a sacrifice for our sins, he solved the sin problem for good--not only ours, but the whole world's". (1John.1.2 MSB) When Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, the sin passed through them to all men. And so the Bible recorded that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.  "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:" (Rom.5.12)  But that was just the beginning of the story. Sin entered the world, and death came as a result of sin. It appears that mankind was doomed.  But Jesus came and served the punishment for sin and in so doing, He solved the sin problem for good. Now mankind has access once again to the Father. Now everything the Father has for us is at our disposal. Now we can reign by Jesus Christ and receive the abundance that God has for us.  "For if by one man's offence death reigned b

Who makes me who I am

An Isoko adage says, "the name you call yourself is what others will call you. Meeting students, I have had cause to ask them if that was the name their parents named them and they say no. My real name is...and then they tell me. But whatever they call themselves is what other students call them. You are who you say you are, but the truth is, you act the way you become because you think that's who you are. So if you called yourself a policeman when you are a soldier, you will act as a policeman. If you are an eagle but call yourself a chicken, then you will act like a chicken. If you call yourself a failure, that's what you begin to act as. Little wonder, Jabez changed his name in the place of prayer, he declared that he is blessed and God granted his prayers. (see 1Chro:4:9-10). The way you act is a deep-seated product of who you think you are and who you think you are is a product of who you call yourself. What do you call yourself? Who are you? "What
