"Oh Snap! What Was It Again?"

It's been just over a month and I decided to even blog from my mobile! Because I desire to be intentional about this:

I was having a cell (connect/home) group meeting last night and whilst we were praying, I was stirred to challenge us all about the things we allow to be fed into our systems.

On many instances, when God revealed Himself in the Old Testament, the people built altars as a visual remembrance of what God Himself had done, or to recall and mark down the encounter they had with Him.

In fact, Psalm 106 tells us of how many times the Israelites would turn away from God, just after He did astounding miracles such as letting crossing the Red Sea!
"Our Fathers in Egypt understood not nor appreciated Your miracles; they did not [earnestly] REMEMBER the multitude of Your mercies nor IMPRINT Your loving-kindness [on their hearts], (Amplified)... They were barely beyond the Red Sea when they defied the High God-the VERY PLACE HE SAVED THEM! -the PLACE He revealed His amazing power! (The Message)
(Psalm 106:7-8)

That's because when they were faced with a situation, they immediately placed their focus on that problem they had, instead of "meditating on and talking of God's wondrous works" (Psalm 119:27b).
We become what we behold. And many times, just like the Israelites, we're faced with situations even just after our breakthrough, yet we end up 'meditating' (aka worrying) on the issue at hand than ponder on His previous works in our lives.. For this reason Moses commanded the Israelites to magnify God's commandments:

Deuteronomy 6:6-9
"And these words which I am commanding you this day shall be [first] in your [own] minds and hearts; [then]
You shall whet and sharpen them so as to make them PENETRATE, and TEACH and IMPRESS them diligently upon the [minds and] hearts of your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down and when you rise up.
And you shall bind them as a sign upon your hand, and they shall be as frontlets (forehead bands) between your eyes.
And you shall write them upon the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

Wow! God wants us to have His Word "dwell in us richly" (Colossians 3:16a) in order that we may be ready to bounce back with it when we faced with challenges..
I urge you to start writing the Word on your walls. Use a big foot, make them large so that you can always SEE it and refer to it in your trials. May we be people in whom the Word of God is found richly than all the other intakes life throws at us such as movies, newspapers, music, television, studies.
Blessings on you all!
