Day 236 Reading: Micah 5:1 - Micah 7:20 Ever been laughed at when you fell down? In primary school am sure someone did. In today's world, we are prone to be laughed at when we make mistakes. In this day and age of social media, there are people laughing at one's mistakes whom they are not even acquainted with. The calamity the children of God were facing in the days of Micah reveals to us that their enemies were laughing at them.  In the midst of pain, God declares a Word that is so pertinent to this day and age. To the believer who is asking where is God, I have good news. To that person who's been mocked for what seems forever God has you in mind. God is a God of mercy and that's why even if you and I fall we will rise again. We may be sat in darkness, however, God is our light and He will lead us to the place of greatness. The sound of rejoicing by your enemies will soon become one of mourning as they watch the tables overturned.  We may be down righ...

Day 235 Reading: Micah 1:1 - Micah 4:13 If you asked many people today what is the singular word to describe the miracle they need I wouldn't be surprised if it is 'breakthrough'. Many feel imprisoned and are crying to break out. We all are crying for a breakthrough in one area or other. It may be a breakthrough in the family, marital arena, finances, business, career, health, social or at a national level. We today are facing a litany of issues that are weighing many down. Just speak to many people and you will realise that stress for many is becoming the norm yet God called us to live in joy and peace Psalms 23 .  Micah is sent to prophesy judgement to the children of Israel for the wayward ways in their worship and livelihood. In the midst of His prophecy, he declares that their redemption would come in the place of their captivity. That place where you are crying about, that place or situation making you moan and wail in prayer, that issue that is mocking y...

Day 74 Reading: Judges 16:1 - Judges 18:31 The Word is to take precedence over all affairs and issues in life. God by His Word gives us lessons which teach us His values, principles, ways and dealings with man. The Bible is not a fantasy book, neither is it just a storybook. Study it, read it, learn it, memorise it and live by it. Yesterday we saw that Samson had a weakness which was left unchecked. He again 'fell' for a foreign girl in a town called Gaza, which means strong or fortified. The enemy desired to take Samson captive in the morning and before they knew it he at midnight arose and took the doors of the gates of the city to Hebron. It takes the Spirit of God to possess the gates of a city. May God baptise you and I with His Spirit that we may possess the gates of the cities of the nations of the world. The enemy didn't do anything with this incident, however, the enemy had laid a snare and was waiting for the opportunity to take Samson out of his ...
