The cloud which represents the presence of God in the Old Testament Bible as the people of God journeyed to the promised land was so strong and mighty in revealing his glory to the people.

One of the ways to experience God's glory at all times is by constant worship and praise of his name. When you do that, he comes down to inhabit the praise in his majestic glory.

Jesus reflected God's glory when he healed the boy in our Bible passage for today in Mark just by laying on of his hands on him and he has promised those that believe in him that they would do greater works than he did, if only they would believe.

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, help me to reflect your glory also, so as to make impact to the world around me, Amen!

God's people forgot so quickly how God led them out of the land of Egypt and parted the Red Sea for them to cross over, they couldn't wait for God's leading again.

Just like Jesus fed the 5,000 people who came to hear him, God was still feeding his people, he never allowed them to lack any good thing and yet, they were very impatient of God, not paying full attention to all he had done for them in the past and even in the then present by only his mighty hand.

All our passages for today has a central focal point, which is togetherness. Togetherness in terms of marriage between a husband and a wife, friendship and in mission accomplishments.

It is often said that two good heads are better than one or a cord of three strands cannot be easily broken, but did you observe that in all these passages, what bond this togetherness is love. So for anyone who wants to go into marriage, know it that the only marriage recognized both in heaven and on earth is that between a man and a woman and not between a man and a man or a woman and a woman.

The Bible is so clear about this, also bear in mind that marriage is meant to be enjoyed and not to be endured. This means, that you have to be careful when trying to choose your partner, so as to avoid any struggles or endurance in your marriage.

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, thank you for the peace and serenity I enjoy in my marriage, please restore same to every home that is experiencing crisis right now, Amen!

In the Old Testament Bible, even the Priest was not permitted to enter the Holy of the Holiest but praise God that in this time of the New Testament Bible, through the shedding of the blood of Jesus, it's very possible for us to reach our Heavenly Father directly.

But all these can be possible, according to the Psalmist only when our hands are clean and our hearts pure, for without holiness we cannot see God.

Is your sins stinking and embarrassing as that of that woman with the issue of blood? According to Papa Oyedepo, "you can't be shameful of what is gainful". So, why not swallow every shame like that woman did and embrace Jesus for the forgiveness of your sins.

Prayer:

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

It is just for us to hear, read, meditate and put to action his words and we shall be saved.

It's as simple as that by the inspiration of the Holy Ghost. And once you've received the word, why not? Go out there and reach out to others for them also to be saved.

God's love for us his children is so immense, to the extent that he doesn't want us to perish, not at all. For this singular reason, the children of Israel were instructed to sanctify themselves as they were about to come before God's presence. No wonder the Bible tells us that without holiness, no one can see God.

Much more, in our Bible passage for today in Psalms, we saw how it was explained, the coming of Jesus. He came to die for our sins so that we can be bold enough to stand before God after Jesus' blood must have cleansed us.

In Mark our passage for today, we see how Jesus was more than willing to accomplish the task on Calvary for which his Father sent him, for he loved all including the tax collectors and sinners.

Jesus received similar ugly treatment as Moses, the people scorned and despised him as they did to Moses and at the end, both of them were victorious.

Unlike the Israelites, who forgot so easily how that God by his mighty strength and power delivered them from the hand of Pharaoh, David constantly engaged God in praise and worship for his mighty strength and power to deliver him from his enemies. He even steadily put all his confidence in God's right hand.

The women who went to  Jesus' tomb were even able to experience the presence of the risen Jesus and worshipped him as God but the Israelites even as God was with them in the form of a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night, they refused to accord Him that full confidence that He deserved.

When they got to the Red Sea, on seeing there was no other escape route for them, they became soar afraid but Moses, God's servant encouraged them not to be afraid that surely they would see the salvation of God and that actually came to pass for immediately Moses raised his staff and stretched out his hand over the sea, lo and behold, the sea parted and the people of Israel were saved.

Moses did according to Proverbs 4:20, our Bible passage for today, by attending to God's word and inclining his ear into God's saying to use his staff wisely, this sea parted and himself and the children of Israel were able to move over to the other side.

The same way the sea parted, the veil in the temple was rent in twain as soon as Jesus yielded up the ghost, and the graves were also opened that many bodies of the saints which slept arose.

David enjoyed the salvation of the Lord as the people of God did at the Passover and now, we believers in Christ because he trusted in the Lord. Through the mercy of Christ he was not moved for God was with him.

Much more than the blood of the Lamb shed in the Old Testament was the blood of the Lamb in the New Testament age called Jesus Christ. Jesus was sacrificed for us to be sanctified of our sins permanently and not for a while if we do not go back sinning again.

In the Book of Proverbs, our passage for today, vs.11; Moses could be likened to that man who walked in the way of wisdom, for he followed God's leading and that was why he was always running to God each time the people of Israel looked down on his instruction.

Just like Moses, Jesus Christ our Saviour, followed God the Father until his mission here on earth was accomplished, for more than once he told God that his will be done even in the most difficult part of his trial. Yet he maintained his followership with God that his will should be done and not his.

We've read from the Book of Genesis how famine led Israel and his entire households into abiding in Egypt, under the Governorship of Joseph, his son. It happened that when they had all gone to be with their forefathers, the new king (Pharaoh), who didn't know what transpired in the past and his people became envious of the Israelites because God had prospered them in all sides. He then began to subject them to assorted harsh conditions, then God heard their cry and decided to send Moses who was Pharaoh's adopted grandson to rescue them. Moses gave God several reasons why he should not be the one but then accepted later when he was certain that it was God who was sending him, for God promised to be with him in the rescue mission.

At the end of this Book of Exodus, we are going to see how Pharaoh was able to see the handywork of God in the Israelites, just as the Psalmist noted it in our today's passage, vs1.

Jesus our saviour,experienced the same unfriendly conditions that Pharaoh showed to the Israelites, to the extent of being betrayed by one of his disciples whom he, himself chose into the twelve. The same is very much prevalent in our present age. But may we not be the ones fronting or aiding hostilities towards others, Amen.

In Job's suffering he was found faithful. He refused to accept all the contrary things that were told him by his friends, he rather persevered and finally God showed up for him. We saw Job possessing a double portion of what he used to have after forgiving and praying for his friends. Above all God himself fulfilled his number of days here on with one hundred and forty years, he saw his children up to the fourth generations, hmm! that was real prosperity. Indeed, Job was a faithful servant of God!

We also see in the Book of Psalms for today, how God delivered King David from the strivings of the people and made him the head of the Heathen. If God did it for David and Job, it means he can do it again and again for you and I only if we can be found faithful.

In the gospel of Matthew, our Bible reading for today, Job would be likened to that faithful servant whose master found worthy over a few things and thereafter put him in charge of many things.

What you don't know, you don't know and so, don't exaggerate words.

I guess when God appeared into Job's stead, after all the negative interpretations by his friends, he would have declared like David as in our Bible passage for today in Psalms, God you armed me with strength all through this trial period.

Job's friends I guess would have learnt their lessons from the answer Christ gave his disciples and us too, when they asked him about his second coming. Jesus simply told them he didn't know nor does anyone else know except the Father. Don't allow yourself to be pressured into accepting to know what you don't know.

How nice it would have been if Elihu and other so called friends who claimed to have come to comfort Job engaged him (Job) with words of wisdom and understanding, I believe all the parties involved would have been better for it. Like in Proverbs, our passage for today pointed out that wisdom and understanding are of super value, so in all your getting, get them.

From our passages in today's Bible reading in Job, we have seen how Job refused to be lured into the sin of lustfulness and adultery. Despite his wealth, he trusted in God rather than in his wealth. He never gloated over his enemies when they were challenged. He took care of the poor and catered for the welfare of his workers, he didn't take advantage of them. You can now understand why God called Job his servant and went ahead to allow Satan to tempt him.

Like Job, David faced so many challenges from his enemies but each time he had to cry out to God to rescue him and trust God he did and this time he brought him into a spacious place. We, like Job and David should only look unto God for help and not anywhere else. He is ever ready to save us when we call on him.

Just like job again, Jesus also went through trials in the hands of the Pharisees and yet subdued them by the power of God.

Every believer should crave to have an intimate relationship with God, like David and Job did. When you do, you will find out that you can't stand injustice and evil happenings in this world without taking up the gospel of Christ to the doorsteps of those who have been ordained for salvation. Job did it in his days, he catered for the poor and needy, even widows and all manner of needs at that time.

We that follow after Christ should believe in God as well as Job did, that is the only way to life. Jesus says in Matthew 21:21, if you have faith and not doubt, it will be done  (paraphrased), so let's just keep believing in God.
