Hello there fellow Prophecy lovers So since here at ThubelihleSainted we speak about anything and everything concerning anything and everything that is Christ related.  Today I thought we should learn a little about prophecy. Later on we will do some indepth studies. However for a start, let's familiarize ourselves with the symbols, their meanings and reference in the bible. If there's any that I missed, please do share. Would greatly appreciate it. Each symbol is in bold type and is followed by its corresponding literal meaning. Angel = Messenger Daniel 8:16 9:21 Luke 1:19, 26 Hebrews 1:14 Babylon = Religious apostasy / confusion Genesis 10:8-10 11:6-9 Revelation 18:2, 3 17:1-5 Beast = Kingdom / government / political power Daniel 7:17, 23 Bread = Word of God John 6:35, 51, 52, 63 Day = Literal year Ezekiel 4:6 Numbers 14:34 Dragon = Satan or his agency Isaiah 27:1 30:6, Psalms 74:13, 14 Revelation 12:7-9 Ezekiel 29:3 Jeremiah 51:34 Forehead =...

In the quite hours of the midnight, when I cannot doze off because of the weight of life's trials that are pulling me down. When all I have strength to do is....nothing. In that moment when the only thing moving, are my fingers as I pencil....this something. Not to sure if am even staring at the paper. Because everything seems blurry, dark, cloudy...But even more dark really. Am not too sure if the silence is dark or the dark is silent. But am certain it is silent, and it is dark, and intermediate is where I find myself. Being the centre of attraction but not receiving attention. As I listen very closely to the silence. I realize.... Everything is still as dead......wait except not everything. Three vital things are still in motion. 1. My brain 2. My breath 3. My heart Interestingly, God in three persons brought me to creation 1. God the father 2. God the Son 3. God the Holy Spirit Kissed me with the breadth of life and declared me his satisfaction I find it quit...

Why don't you stand and actually do that something. You know you have been thinking about it. Everything around you, tells you it's the right thing to do. You also convinced it's what you ought to do. Well it's time up now, get up and DO IT.  The time is now, use it productively, wisely and effectively... there's no guarantee for later. Time lost is never regained. Take the risk and fail, that to sit and wonder if it would have worked or not. We all have that something, something we have beeeeeen wanting to do. But out of fear we haven't made a move. God did not give you the spirit of fear, it is of the Devil. And that's what he wants. For you to believe that you not capable. That you first need to do something before that something, and when you done that something, he will bring another something. Well today dear friend I need you to remember the Spirit of God. The one of power , love and of a sound mind. 2 Tim 1:7 Let's take power for this dis...

Sin has unavoidable consequences. While God forgives sin, he doesn't always remove the consequences" One unwise step is all it takes _Adam and Eve ate of the forbidden fruit, and death has become an everyday encounter.....         # Not everything that is eaten is for food _Abraham thought it wise to marry Haggar, and we are still suffering the war in the middle east.          #Learn to wait on the Lord and trust in promise.          #Not everything you get is from God. And just because God allows it doesn't mean he accept it. Ishmael, though he was Abraham's he was not the God's choosen,Isaac was.          #Things that come through the backdoor, will not make it in the main house. Ask Ishmael, he didn't grow up in his father's home. _Lot choose the "plain of jordan, and pitched his tent toward Sodom"....And he lost his son in law, his two married daughters,stayed in a cave and hi...

As a deer longs for flowing streams, So my soul longs for you oh Lord My soul thirsts for you My heart yearns for you Lord, not because you not there, But because I lack your character in me I long for a new me In every season you have been consistent Every promise you have fulfilled Providence of my needs you have given Protection you have granted With overflowing blessings you have showered me. My sins you have forgiven Not to mention the gift of life you have preserved. Yet I still doubted your presence. Lord not because you not faithful, But because I lacked faith in you. I long for a new me In meekness and remorse oh Lord I now come humbly unto your throne, Forgive me for my ignorance With a repenting heart, I present my body as a living sacrifice. Create in me a clean heart 💓 And renew the right spirit within me That in what ever I do, eat or drink I may bring Glory to you. With recognition of my sins And the Holy Spirit's conviction of my ini...

@Park Ministry Good evening, hope you had a lovely Sabbath. I had a powerful Sabbath. The message was what I needed to hear. And I hope the Lord as we requested yesterday, did speak to you too today. You know with the struggles we face today. It's really hard at times to trust what God's word. If you have once not known where you going to lay your head for the night or where you next meal will come from. You probably understand what I mean. Your faith in God to provide for those needs at that particular time undoubtedly reduces. And you know it doesn't even need to be that exteme. You might me be like me who has been facing great financial challenges. And you find yourself even out of sleep wondering where you are going to get the required funds/employment/help. Well today's message revived my trust in God. That he is ever there just at the verge of loosing it all, does he give you all. He is not ignorant of out basic needs. So below are findings from today...

Hello there, hope you have been having a good week. If not then hey, aren't we just grateful the Sabbath is here. A day that the Lord has sert apart for you and me to rest. And I don't meant just physical rest. In the ups and down of this world we are not only physically exhausted but mentally bombarded,emotionally broken and not to mention financially challendes. The Sabbath was made for us to rejuvenate, to recharge. The messages we hear encourage us to be better people. They are there to help us manage through the turmoils of life. To have a way to better deal with life's difficulties. And most of all to remind us of a better and stress free home we all looking forward to. And do you know what else is so special about the Sabbath. I must say it's the company of my fellow believers. Those powerful, God filled conversations you have during lunch and after the service. That moment where all you talk about is God God and more of God. I know it might sound a l...

Luke 14:28-33 Common sense teaches men not to begin any costly work without first seeing that they have wherewithal to finish. And he who does otherwise exposes himself to general ridicule.  Nor will any wise potentate enter a war with any hostile power without first seeing to it that, despite formidable odds (two to one), he be able to stand his ground; and if he has no hope of this, he will feel that nothing remains for him but to make the best terms he can.  Even so, says our Lord, "in the warfare you will each have to wage as My disciples, despise not your enemy's strength, for the odds are all against you; and you had better see to it that, despite every disadvantage, you still have wherewithal to hold out and win the day, or else not begin at all, and make the best you can in such awful circumstances."  In this simple sense of the parable, two things are taught:  (1) Better not begin, than begin and not finish.  (2) Do not begin without fully...

So a few of my consistent friends on social networks especially on Whatsapp have been asking me about the brief devotional statements I share. And were wondering if I was willing to share them in depth. I have to say, I was a little hesitant at first because am afraid I might not be that consistent (am not a  great fan of typing, guess that's why I haven't blogged in a long while). But hey the more I resisted, the more I felt compelled that it's something I need do to. And surprisingly not only for those who did request but for myself. As a lover of writing, it's one platform I know I always hear God speaking especially in the early of the morning or the quite hours of the midnight. Now, it would be very selfish of me to keep it all to myself 1)when I have the means to share 2) when there's someone willing to listen. There is just something that happens when you share the word of God with others. Right there when you either speaking or penciling it down, more ...
