Text :Ezekiel 24: 15-27
Golden Text :"Son of man, with one blow I am about to take away from you the delight of your eyes. Yet do not lament or weep or shed any tears. Ezek 24:16
        In our walk with God, God at times deliberately allow us to pass through some hard situations so that it can be a lesson of faith or message to others. God knows how to turn our messes into messages and make our life a symbol to reach out to others. Ezekiel's life and ministry was a prove of this.
         Ezekiel had terrible experiences which God often used as a message to the nation of Israel to repent from their sins, one of those experiences was the lost of his dearest life. God had earlier told him that his wife would die and he must not cry. It eventually happened, he could not cry, it was a very hard thing to do but he obeyed God. The people had empathy for him,they knew it was a sign and symbol that carried message because they had been used to his ministry. He told them that God is about to take their delights: temple and children , they left behind in Israel, and they would not be able to cry just like him whose delight was taken away.
           Ezekiel chose to obey God, endured a terrible situation so that his life could be a symbol coded with message for his generation.God may not spare us from certain unpleasant experiences so that his name can be glorified.Total obedience and submission to God is required if we want him to use us to convey messages to his people.
Prayer: Father help me to patiently endure all that you desired that I passed through so that my life can bring glory to your name in Jesus name.

Who is your Friend?

 DAILY INSIGHT WITH GOD WEDNESDAY 9TH APRIL, 2025 TEXT: 2 Samuel 13:1-5 [1]And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David had a fair sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her. [2]And Amnon was so vexed, that he fell sick for his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and Amnon thought it hard for him to do any thing to her. [3]But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David’s brother: and Jonadab was a very subtil man. [4]And he said unto him, Why art thou, being the king’s son, lean from day to day? Wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister. [5]And Jonadab said unto him, Lay thee down on thy bed, and make thyself sick: and when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me meat, and dress the meat in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it at her hand.

Your vision will speak

 DAILY INSIGHT WITH GOD SATURDAY 4TH JANUARY, 2025 TEXT: Habakkuk 2:3 [3]For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. TOPIC: YOUR VISION WILL SPEAK          Vision is time bound. Writing down of vision, planning, setting out to fulfill the goals are all processes that are necessary before vision can become a reality.        Your vision will definitely speak, if only you can wait for it. Great things do not usually happen suddenly. There is a moment to plant, watered and patiently wait for it to germinate. The bigger the vision, the bigger the time it would take to become a reality. Do not give up on your vision , it will speak at the appropriate time. Prayer: Father help me to patiently wait for me vision to become a reality in Jesus name.

The LORD is in his sanctuary (3)

 DAILY INSIGHT WITH GOD SUNDAY 4TH MAY, 2025 TEXT: Habakkuk 2:20 [20]But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him. TOPIC: THE LORD IS IN HIS SANCTUARY (3)            The presence of God makes a difference between a church and any other place. In God’s presence there is peace, deliverance, and fullness of Joy. In the old Testament, men of faith often raise up an altar to symbolize his presence and praise him there. The church is the modern day temple where there are altars set up to meet God. No one can come to God’s presence and return empty handed.          Many a times when people come to church without experiencing a touch, it is because they do not come with expectations of receiving from God. When there is expectations, it shows you have faith that God is in his temple and you are sensitive to his movements by being silence before God. God speaks right from the beginning of the Church s...
