Quiet moments in God's presence needs scheduling. Put your time with God on your calendar and stamp it non-negotiable. When someone asks you for an appointment that clashes with that time, tell them you already had an appointment. Have respect for what you set aside for God. Understand it as holy time.  Meeting God is about time. It takes time to pray and meditate. It takes time to reflect and remember. It takes time to know God as He can be known. So, plan your time wisely. Use it prudently. Spend it with God. Read Psalm 71.

Day 183 - What Pleases Jesus Matters Read: Psalm 141; Proverbs 6:12-15; Revelation 2; 2 Samuel 7-8 “Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.” ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭2:20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ http://bible.us/114/rev.2.20.nkjv I have the privilege to complete two modules of MBA course in Oxford University recently. What impressed me most is the history of this great prestigious University. John and Charles Wesley's prayer meetings held there laid the foundations of the Methodist Church today. The way of teaching is based on the Disputations which was started 600 years ago in the Divinity School where 2 Professors would present their cases to determine who would be more persuasive. Hence, every student In Oxford is expected weekly to prepare 2500 words of essay whereby the lecturer will debate with the students and challenge his...

Day 37: Psalm 17, Proverbs 22:7-8, Acts 17, Zechariah 3-4 Engage With People ..for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’ Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man’s devising. Acts 17:28-29 NKJV In reading Acts 17, we will not miss the long discourse that Apostle Paul gave to the philosophers at Athens. 1st, he related with the philosophers by identifying something that Apsotle Paul could start a conversation in spiritual things. He identified that the philosophers prayed to an unknown God and what is unknown to them, Paul enlightened them. 2ndly, Paul referred to their own poets' saying. 3rdly, he persuaded them to return to the truth by reasoning with them that if they were the offspring of God, they ought not pray to gold, silver or stone. Once these are effectively communicated to...

Day 190 - Enjoy God! Read Psalm 148; Proverbs 7:4-6; Revelation 9; 2 Samuel 21-22 2 Samuel 22 v30 - By God, I can run against a troop and by my God, I can leap over a wall v33 - God is my strength and power! He makes my way perfect! Reading the above verses warmed my heart as I recalled the sweet victory I had as I trusted God when He assured me exactly with the above verses way back in 1994 when I did my Certificate of Legal Practice (CLP). It was the first day of exam and my Quiet Time for that day turned out to be reading the above verses. What a joy! What an assurance! I knew by God and with God, I could leap over CLP examination and would cross over the challenge and would pass to do my chambering. True enough, I passed and started my chambering in 1995. All glory to God! Hence, how important for us to keep reading God's Words as our loving Heavenly Father is so eager to speak and communicate with us. Please do run to Him, embrace and enjoy the sweet communion and taste...
