“One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in His temple. For in the day of evil He shall hide me in His pavilion…” (Psalms. 27.4,5). | UCHENNA C. OKONKWOR

“One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in His temple. For in the day of evil He shall hide me in His pavilion…” (Psalms. 27.4,5).

 
I was thinking about that verse in Galatians again earlier today. “And let us not be weary (or, lose heart) in well doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not” (Gal. 6.9). I looked it up, and apparently the Greek here is something like, “in its own season.” In other words, there is a specific season for the harvest. Let us remember this—those of us who have sown to the Spirit and wonder where the harvest is.
We are seeing all around us in our world that things are
pretty ripe as far as evil is concerned. There’s been a lot of sowing “to the flesh.” So there is going to be a harvest of corruption. The season of that harvest is obviously nigh.

Now, the doers of evil never seem to need encouragement to persist in doing evil and not grow weary. It just comes naturally. At the same time, it’s kind of dull of them to not grasp that their evil doing will bring them a bountiful harvest of evil.

But aren’t our own senses just as dull if we have grown weary of sowing to the Spirit? We rejoiced when the seed was sown. But then come the difficult times—like the one we are in right now—and we faint. The promise of the Word of God is that we shall reap… if we faint not. I know it can be very trying when we embrace the seed of the Word in our heart and faithfully seek to keep out the weeds—and yet still do not see the fruit we long to see. Our Lord knows this, and inspired Paul to write those words. He urges us to not be weary in well doing—in sowing to the Spirit. We are going to see the harvest—in the season God has ordained for the harvest! God is not mocked. We shall reap what we have sown… in the season God has ordained for the harvest.

As I was thinking of this earlier today, and about God’s provision for us in the Day of Evil, Psalm 27 came to mind, and I turned to it. And as I read the familiar words once again, the light bulb suddenly went on. (The Bible is such an awesome book!) David knew an Evil Day was coming—something many Christians today are aware of, and talk much about. When Christians get together this will often be the topic of conversation. Trouble is nigh. Great shakings are ahead. It seems we understand this quite well.

But how was David preparing for this evil day he understood was coming? Well, in a sense he wasn’t preparing for the evil day at all. He was preoccupied with One Thing today.

“One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in His temple. For in the day of evil He shall hide me in His pavilion…” (Ps. 27.4,5).

See how beautifully the one follows the other? David had a certain preoccupation day after day… all the days of his life. Seeking to dwell in the house of the LORD today. And so where will that put him when the evil day dawns?

“For in the Day of Evil…” (That’s how we must translate the original Hebrew for the phrase the King James translates as “the time of trouble.”) “For in the Day of Evil He shall hide me in His pavilion (His covert, His booth): in the secret (place) of His tabernacle He shall hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock” (Ps. 27.5).

Day after ordinary day, David was sowing to something. He was seeking to dwell in the house of the LORD. Where, then, will this find him when the Day of Evil arrives? In the same Place he was in yesterday—in the house of the LORD—and discovering that this House is a Secret Place of refuge from all evil. It is the “secret Place of His tabernacle.” How simple, yet how wonderful, the ways of God!

“He shall hide me in his pavilion; in the secret (place) of His tabernacle He shall hide me…” This is God’s provision for the Day of Evil? A tabernacle, a flimsy tent? But I am sure David has in mind the tabernacle he set up on Mount Zion for the ark of God, for the Presence of God Himself. The secret (place) of His tabernacle is the secret of the Presence of God. Once we see this it suddenly becomes very understandable why a flimsy little tent becomes the place of perfect security. God is there! In a day when it seems that evil has been let off the leash there is a Place evil cannot penetrate. “In the secret (place) of His tabernacle He shall hide me…”

And who is this Tabernacle, but our Lord Jesus Christ. He is the House of God, He Himself is this Tabernacle of God—this Place of the Presence of God—the one and only refuge in the universe when all evil is unleashed around us, the immoveable Rock we can confidently stand on when all else around us is sinking sand.

Psalm 27 is no doubt prophetic of the Evil Day that is before us. God says that this is our provision for what is ahead of us tomorrow—what we are doing today. Let us believe Him, then. Let us sow to the same thing David was sowing to. Let us not be weary in doing this, even though it’s a very difficult hour, and finding this Place of His Presence is often very difficult. There is a weariness. But let us persevere. Let us continue sowing to this. Let us seek to dwell in the House of the Lord—in this Place of His Presence—all the days of our life. We will not be caught off guard tomorrow if we are sowing to this abiding relationship with Jesus Christ today. In the Day of Evil when our need is desperate we will find ourselves hidden away in a certain Tabernacle. In fact it’s just as necessary today, isn’t it—this Secret Hiding Place. I sow to this even now in the evil days that often come my way, and every day. As difficult as it is I am not giving up. I have tasted the preciousness of this Presence many times… in measure. I have seen the beauty of the Lord… a little. And I am hooked. I am going to continue sowing to this. I shall yet see the fullness of His beauty in His House, and go no more out from His Presence.

How can I be so sure? Simply because… I sow to this! And God is not mocked. I fully anticipate a harvest. God has designated a season for this harvest. I am going to reap what I have sown.

That is the Word of God.



My Most Beloved,
If you look for God with your whole heart you will find Him and He will remove that affliction out of your life, family, marriage and business.

God is great and also the wisest personage in the universe. Your decision to look for Him today as the solution to the problems that have weighed you down in this life is the only key to the problem.
You might be among those who are searching for God but not with your whole heart. You might also be searching for God and at the same time going to the places you know from your heart that is not pleasing to God Almighty.

God is everywhere you go though not accessible from all places you have fixed your heart for the solution to your needs.
So many people have looked for this God through many gods of various religions and yet they are still confused of life and why they even came into existence.

Others have believed that joining different kinds of Self Realization organizations is the key to actualize and realize what they are looking for. 

I have seen others who are tired of other gods of other people but now they have decided to create their own gods to worship. Can a man create God?

Yet many men have created gods and deceived you to worship them.
Many are calling upon the names of other gods they do not know about simply because they want to try a certain kind of worship and see how it can be with them.  Some others are busy looking for a place to discover another strange god which is not yet discovered by any other man.  If we move a little into the Bible book we will discover the exact message of God concerning searching and developing gods in any other scientific method which the Bible rightly stipulated,

 “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.” – EXODUS 20: 3-6.

God is warning you from this portion of the scripture to stop developing any form of worship that will entice you to worship other gods. 

God is also warning you in particular to remove and throw away those gods you kept in secret places which men do not know you are worshipping.  

Stars and other things in the skies are not made to be worshipped by The Almighty Father and the Creator of universe. God commanded you also never to worship gods of woods, silvers, gold and iron. 

God spoke to us through  Moses and said. “And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it.
Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day that the LORD spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire:
Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,
The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air,
The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth:
And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven. - Deuteronomy 4:14-19

God is angry with you as you are bowing down to them and this is the source of those problems that refuses to go out of your life. The Almighty Father does not want you to worship the gods of your land.
Some people do carry the gods of their lands in wooden form to another country for worshipping purposes but The Almighty Father cannot be carried in a wooden form because He is accessible from any place and any condition you can call Him in truth and in Spirit wholeheartedly.  
 
There is no good gods in seas and oceans. There is no marine good gods that is capable to do what Almighty God cannot do for you.
He warned you never to bow down to any of them. Your destiny is purely in the hand of The Almighty Father. None of your blessings comes as a result of worshipping idols. 

God is jealous and will not be happy if you are giving the glories that are due to His Most Holy Name, Jehovah to other gods of nations and other gods who have ears but cannot hear.
If you believe me today, and decide to drop those gods you are serving and to come to The Almighty Jehovah through His Son, Jesus Christ.

The Bible warned, “As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. The Revelation of Saint John  3:19-22.
Why not decide right now as you are reading this message and give your entire life to your Creator so it shall be well with you, your family and all your businesses?
Will you continue to serve the gods that demands for the blood of your children for ritual purposes and sacrifices so as to bless and protect you?
Will you serve the gods that takes away your fertility in other to give you unrealistic financial blessings and fame?
Reason well before you go.
God is telling me that some group of people is trying to initiate you into a cult, an occult group, a satanic system of worship.
Please beware and run away for your dear life so you will not regret the final outcome of it.

There is nothing absolutely good in Satan. He is a liar and father of all liars.

If you believe this message is for you in particular and you wants to be saved before it is too late. Why not call my attention for my direction to establish your faith in Jesus Christ?

Accept and Confess the name of Jesus Christ so He shall come into your life and be your God as you have totally dropped all form of other gods with sincere heart.

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.- JOHN 14:6-7

Am available to assist you to develop your faith in God and also to pray with you for instant divine solution to those problems that has taken you far and wide without hope for solution.

“And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever. - I CHRONICLES 28:9.
