Job 12:9,10 “Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this? ¹⁰In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind” .As we witnessed numerous  mega catastrophes of our times ,we are greatly  humbled and  awed by the knowledge that our souls  and every living thing  comes under the mighty hand of God  and every moment  that  we have our being is solely by the sovereign providential grace of God alone .

Isa 44:8 “Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it ? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any”

Does God  believe in atheism or polytheism ?isaiah gave us the unequivocal answer . Triune monotheis m is the  only correct conception of God today vis a vis the prevalent concepts of theism including  pantheism of our age.

Zech 14:9 “And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.” The  apocalyptic  day will come when the Lord will return in all His glory  to rule and judge the world.  In the meantime, we are to be  warning  ,watching ,working, witnessing and worshipping  while waiting patiently for  that glorious  day

Rom 1:15 “So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also. ¹⁶For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” It belongs to us ,as the redeemed of God to pronounce and proclaim in the vernacular language,  the   simple but glorious  gospel of reconciliation through Christ   that the  odious offender  who trembles at his word will be pardoned forever .

Prov 4;23 “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.’ The heart of the reformation is the reformation of the heart (as it did for young luther, zwingli, knox, calvin  and latimer) .Need to keep away the cholesterol of sin from blocking  its reception of the will of God  by exercising unto godliness and masticating on the fresh and nutritious word of truth daily .

1Pet 3: 2” While they behold your chaste conversation
coupled with fear. 3Whose adorning let it not be that outward
adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting
on of apparel; 4But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in
that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet
spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price
Don’t forget to doll this morning when you leave the house with the spiritual cosmetics of meekness, temperance , joy , longsuffering and remember the deodorant of attractive compassion and godliness . it is so mesmerising !
