Ready to meet God

Ready to meet God 

"GOD said to Moses, "Go to the people. For the next two days get these people ready to meet the Holy GOD. Have them scrub their clothes" (Exod.19.10) 

Have them scrub their clothes? What is the significance of clothes as we prepare to meet our God. Though this speaks figuratively of Israel, telling the people to ready themselves as they prepare to meet  their Holy God. 

Are you ready to meet God? 

God gives Moses two days to get the people to ready themselves and on the third day He meets with them. Jesus died on the cross and in three days rose and thus readied us to meet with God. 

We know there was nothing they could do that will ready them to meet with the Holy God on a consistent basis. This was why Jesus had to die for us to ready us to meet with our God on a regular basis. So now we can meet with Him in fellowship - which was the primary reason God had asked Moses to tell the people to ready themselves. God described Himself as Holy God and to meet with Him we ought also to be holy. Little Wonder we are told by the Apostle Paul that Jesus became sin for that we might become the righteousness of God in Christ. That way we are consistently ready to fellowship with God. 

"God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." (2Cor.5.21) 

Are you ready to meet with God? You have a standing appointment to meet with Him on a regular...ready to meet God? 

Good day,
Have a great day today,
Emmanluel Okoro,

Steady your heads

Steady your hands "But Moses' hands got tired. So they got a stone and set it under him. He sat on it and Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on each side. So his hands remained steady until the sun went down.(Exod.17.12 MSG) Consistency and stability are two traits that we need to succeed in life. The Bible says those second guessing themselves will not receive anything from God.  "Ask boldly, believingly, without a second thought. People who "worry their prayers" are like wind-whipped waves."(Jas.1.6)  Our text illustrated this very clearly. Moses had an assignment to keep his hand raised. But as human, he became tired and his hand would come down and as that happened his people would lose the battle. So he devised a means to create consistency and stability, he rested his hands on a stone, with support from Aaron and Hur on either side supporting him.  We need this kind of support, the kind of systems an structures that will help to create stability in ...

Joshua Spoke, the People Moved

Joshua Spoke, the People Moved “And it happened. Joshua spoke, the people moved. Seven priests carrying seven ram’s-horn trumpets went out before the LORD. As they walked, they blew the trumpets, leading the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD.”  (Joshua 6:8) When Joshua gave the instruction, the people did not argue, analyze endlessly, or delay. He spoke—and they moved. That simple act of obedience set divine power in motion. History was shaped not merely by what was said, but by what was done. Actions give weight to knowledge. What we do with the truth we receive determines the outcomes we experience. Many of us know what is right, what God has said, and what steps we should take—but knowing alone does not transform a life. If we consistently acted on every truth we already knew, our lives would look very different. The real question, then, is not “What more do I need to hear?” but “What is stopping me from acting?” This text teaches us how to relate to God’s Word: Joshua spoke, ...

Birthright for sale

Birth rights for sale  "One day Jacob was cooking a stew. Esau came in from the field, starved. Esau said to Jacob, "Give me some of that red stew--I'm starved!" That's how he came to be called Edom (Red). Jacob said, "Make me a trade: my stew for your rights as the firstborn." Esau said, "I'm starving! What good is a birthright if I'm dead?" Jacob said, "First, swear to me." And he did it. On oath Esau traded away his rights as the firstborn." (Gen.25.29-33).  Life has taught us to trade what we have for what we want or need. And this is basic economics but the story of how Esau lost his birthright is a lesson we should not forget in a hurry. It tells us that we do not value what we have, until we have lose it.  Esau had his birthright and that entitles him to a double portion of the inheritance from his father. But he was willing to trade a long term advantage for a short pleasure. He wanted a quick fix over a permanen...
