Where You Started

By | Eyesalve

And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south. 2And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold. 3And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai; 4Unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD.” Genesis 13:1-4

 

If you have wandered off into Egypt you need to get back to where you started (the cross is our altar). Then you must call on the Lord God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength.

Be a Blessing

By | Eyesalve

Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:” Genesis 12:1-2

 

Many Christians rob themselves of blessings because they are reluctant to come out from family and friends. I will even go so far as to say some need to come out from the dead dry religion that it is many of our churches today. It is bad enough that they miss out on blessings, but even worse is the body of Christ misses out on blessings. Do you see that because Abraham was blessed, it made him a blessing? Come out from among her, get blessed, then be a blessing to us all.

Privileged Servants

By | Eyesalve

And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.” Genesis 9:25

 

Canaan was cursed and therefore had to serve servants. We are servants too, but there is a huge difference. While Canaan had to serve servants we get to serve the King of kings and the Lord of lords. We are privileged servants.

When God Tells Us

By | Eyesalve

And God spake unto Noah, saying, 16Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons’ wives with thee.” Genesis 8:15-16

 

I am sure that Noah was planning on leaving the ark after things dried up. I don’t know if he was waiting for God to tell him when to leave or not. However, the day came when God told him to go forth from the ark. We may not know if Noah was waiting to hear from God before he left the ark, but one thing we can be sure of. When God told him to go, it was the perfect time. Whenever God tells us to do something, it is the most absolute perfect time to do it.

Our Generation

By | Eyesalve

These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.” Genesis 6:9

 

Noah was just which also means righteous, and he was perfect in his generations. Saints, it is our turn to be righteous and perfect in this, our generation.

This May Be The Year

By | Eyesalve

Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:” Mark 13:35

 

Happy New Year to you all. Well, another went by and the Lord did not come. One thing that can happen, especially as you get older is that you have seen many new year’s come and go. Then the word “watch” (present tense) loses its urgency. It could happen that in your heart you start saying, “I have been watching, but He still hasn’t come. I am no longer going to concern myself with His return.” So I want to say to you all, “WATCH, FOR YOU DO NOT KNOW WHEN YOUR MASTER COMES. THIS MAY BE THE YEAR.”

Eyesalve: Life of Faith

By | Eyesalve

Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.” Habakkuk 2:4

 

The word “faith,” is found only two times in the Old Testament. However, the principle of faith is lived out by many of the Old Testament saints. Abraham, for example is called the father of faith. What a contrast we have from the New Testament saints of today who hear all the time about faith. We even have one faction of Christianity called, “word of faith.” In the Old Testament days, the people didn’t hear about faith as much, but they lived it. We have the privilege of reading about the obedience of those Old Testament saints who lived a life of faith. Let it be so for our present day, let faith be seen more than or as at least as much as it is preached. So let’s take “word of faith,” and change it to a life of faith.

Eyesalve: The Ultimate Mercy

By | Eyesalve

Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.” Micah 7:18

 

Shame on any believer who does not show mercy toward others. God delights in mercy, so must every believer. However, there is one huge difference between man’s mercy and God’s. Only God has the authority to pardon iniquity. You and I can show the utmost mercy toward anyone who has offended us. We can even forgive them for any terrible things they have done to us and not require for them to make it up to us. But we can never forgive anyone to the extent that we can pardon them for their offenses against God. The whole point I am making is never be satisfied with the mercy you show towards others as if that somehow makes them right before God. It indeed makes you right, but continue to pray and point those people toward the One who can forgive them of all their transgressions and receive from Him the ultimate mercy, mercy from God. Hallelujah

Eyesalve: In The Spirit

By | Eyesalve

I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet.” Revelation 1:10

 

Imagine how our church services would be if all the Christians were “in the Spirit” on the Lord’s Day. Imagine how the messages would be in church if all our ministers were “in the Spirit” on the Lord’s Day.

Eyesalve: If You Yield

By | Eyesalve

Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,” Jude 1:24

 

At first glance you may not see how similar this verse in Jude is to Romans 14:17 which says, “For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.” However, these two verses are closely connected. For the Lord “to keep you from falling” means that His righteousness is constantly constraining you. The only way “to present you faultless” is to have the peace of God, otherwise you would fear His presence. And last, you can live a life of “exceeding joy.” All of this is yours if your life is yielded to the Holy Ghost.
