DINING AT THE MOUNTAIN OF GOD’S HOLINESS

“Seest thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men” (Proverbs  22:29). Dining at the mountain of God’s holiness is a serious business for every genuine believer. Regardless of whatever race he/she may have migrated from, what is expected of us as believers is “Be ye holy” because the LORD GOD(The Almighty) is holy. Just as it has been embedded in the Holy scriptures, we are all called into an intimate relationship with God. One whose origin is past finding out. This relationship in which we are called into is one that can very well be described as unfathomable. Considering the limitations of our frail reasoning faculty, we may decline into folly if we neglect spending time in prayer to this great and awesome God. Studying His word regularly, makes us acquainted with the nuggets of Holiness even while in the company of other believers. However savvy we may become, we can only strengthen our prowess in the shrewdness of God’s indefatigable nature of Holiness by dining in His presence, while He vexes his pre-eminence on eradicating the oblivion which the world around us tries to instigate. Thereby, favouring the recognition of His magnanimity on the plight of enduring believers.

 

The concept of dining at the Mountain of God’s Holiness exposes us to the intriguing pleasures of fellowshipping with the God that loves and cherishes the pragmatic demonstration of righteousness in the existence of man. Just as Jesus Christ enunciated in John 15:5 & 7, It is therefore necessary that every believer make endearing efforts to abide in the Vine. Jesus Christ is the Vine. This is an extraordinary experience that connects us to the exclusivity of the Heavenly King as members of His eternal priesthood (1 Peter 2:5). Revelation 1:6 says we are “kings and priests unto God.” This means that we have access to God and His presence, if we abide in the Vine.

 

Dining at the Mountain of God’s Holiness means accessing His presence through Jesus Christ.  In Psalm 100:4, we are told to “enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise.” We can do this acceptably through prayer and worship in Jesus Name while acknowledging the Supremacy of God. When we come into His presence, we experience His Love, Peace, Joy and other benefits that satisfies beyond what human words can define. When we dine at the mountain of God’s Holiness, it also means that we witness His provisions made available to us as believers. This provisions of His is what charges us to boldly declare His righteousness in every spectra of human existence. It may come with some discomfort but we endeavour to continue declaring His righteousness in the land of the living because we are assured of His blessings that never fails. “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not” (Galatians  6:9). In Ephesians 1:3, we are told that God “hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.”

 

These blessings are only available to souls that are saved from Sin. In Isaiah 6, when Isaiah saw the Lord sitting on His throne, he was humbled and repentant. When we come into God’s presence, we are confronted with His holiness and are made aware of our sinfulness. This should lead us to a deeper repentance and a desire to conform to His image. We must remember that only repentant souls are beneficiaries of the salvation and forgiveness that is made available by the atoning blood of Jesus Christ. If the Holy Spirit does not bear witness in your heart that you have been saved from the guilt of Sin, make your way right with God today before it is too late. The hour of grace is still available. Reach out to Jesus Christ and pray to God while confessing your Sins to Him. He will forgive you and blot out all unrighteousness out of your life.

 

Once this is settled, it means you have been transformed by God to dine in His presence that is always furnished with Holiness. In 2 Corinthians 3:18, we are told that when we behold the glory of the Lord, we are transformed into His image from glory to glory. As we dine at the Mountain of God’s Holiness, we become more like Him.

 

In conclusion, dining at the Mountain of God’s Holiness is a privilege and it is the responsibility of every believer. As believers, we have the right to enter into God’s presence and partake of His provisions. But to maximize the best use of this privileged opportunity, we must also be willing to be transformed by His holiness. This requires humility, reverence, and obedience to every jot of  instruction that His Spirit ministers. When we come into God’s presence, we should expect to be changed and challenged. We should also expect to be filled with His Love, His Grace, and His Joy. As we commit to fellowshipping and dining to the presence of the living God, may the abundant flow of His blessings fill our hearts in Jesus Name, Amen.

THE GOOD FRUIT OF EVERY GOOD TREE

  In the Holy Bible, specifically in the book of Matthew chapter 7, verse 17, it is written: "Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit." It is important to remember that most trees are known by the fruit they bear but as we digest this piece, let us not be quick to forget the spiritual principle that states that good actions will always yield good results, just as a good tree will yield good fruit. During the course of living our daily lives, we may have encountered situations where our actions and choices determined the outcomes we experience. This is a true reflection of this moral principle. However, the teachings of JESUS CHRIST as outlined in the Holy Bible must still serve as the guiding light for believers who seek to live righteous and fruitful lives. The fruit of a tree is a reflection of the health and vitality of the tree itself. Similarly, the choices and actions of every Christian showcases the character of g...

The Benevolence That Renews Our Minds

  In a world often fraught with stress, conflict, and uncertainty, finding inner peace and contentment can feel like an elusive dream. However, the ageless wisdom from God Almighty sheds light on the transformative power of a renewed mind while revealing to us the path that leads towards benevolence and fulfilment.   The concept of a renewed mind is emphasized in Romans 12:2. It states, "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." This verse encourages us to network our thoughts and ensure that it is in tune with the truth neptuned in God’s Will. A renewed mind foils the sense of inner peace and harmony. It allows us to view life's challenges through a lens of faith and resilience. Philippians 4:7 beautifully captures this promise, "And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus...

ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS FOR GREATNESS

Most things in life survive with the nutrition they get from ingesting food. Everything we take into our nervous system either acts to heal us or to destroy us. We must therefore ensure that we consider consuming those with the potentials for providing healing and reject every other. Do not think of nourishment only as what we take in through our mouths. What we consume with our eyes, our ears, our noses, our tongues, and our bodies also constitute the nutrients we feed on. Reasonable contribution and inputs that we occasionally deliver during the conversations we engage ourselves in on daily basis can only be possible by feeding on enriching and nourishing nutrients. We are not expected to neglect consistent consumption of healthy food both emotionally, physically and spiritually because they help in making us modern versions of the mind edifice that guarantees the indemnification of moral sanctity. Think about it this way. If moral sanctity blossom, the society will be filled with mo...
