The Upper Room End-Time Harvest Church Blog

 In life, there are times we feel as though if we have wings we will fly away like a bird to somewhere were we can find rest because the challenges of life are becoming some how unbearable, to make the matter worst we are surrounded by people who claim to be our friends but they are the ones directly or indirectly betraying us in this life's journey. Ooo the Psalmist has been there and though he started by telling God to listen to his prayers and don't ignore his plea for help, this is found in the Book of Psalm 55. Infact at our spear time, I encourage us to read to the  end. He got to a point he desired to have  wings   like a dove ! So that he would fly to rest. In verse 12-14 here he said and I quote" Now, it is not an enemy who insults me-- otherwise I could bear it;  It is not a for who rises up against me-- otherwise I could hide from him. But it is you, a man (woman emphasis mine) who is my peer, my companion and good friend!  We used to have c...

I Encourage You! Good morning beloved,  I trust we had a great weekend? Glory to God. Let's look at Psalm 102 We will look at some of the verses, at your own time, you could read the whole chapter. 1. LORD, hear my prayer; let my cry for help come before you. 2. Do not hide your face from me in my day of trouble. Listen closely to me; answer me quickly when I call. 3. For my days vanish like smoke, and my bones burn like a furnace. 8. My enemies taunt me all day long; they ridicule and curse me. 9. I eat ashes like bread and mingle my drinks with tears 10. because of your indignation and wrath; for you have picked me up and thrown me aside. 13. You will arise and have compassion on Zion, for it is time to show favor to her, the appointed time has come. What a powerful prayer from the psalmist. He captured the feeling we get when things don't go our way.  He understands that there are times we feel that God has hidden his face from us. When we pass through times when we might j...

 The Book of Psalm 56 has important message to pass across to us, so I will quote some of the verse and we could read the rest later at our own time. 1. Be gracious to me, God, for man tramples  me; he fights and oppresses me all day long. 2. My adversaries trample me all day, for many arrogantly fight against me. 5.They twist my words all day long; all their thoughts are against me for evil. 6. They stir up strife, they lurk: they watch my steps while they wait to take my life. 8. You Yourself have recorded my wanderings. Put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your records? 9. Then my enemies will retreat on the day when I call. This I know: God is for me. The Psalmist knew very well that on this earth adversaries must surly rise up to cause us one harm or another. These adversaries  are not only human being, some of us has been sold off to them by our ancestors by the kind of worship they engaged in before we were born, other adversaries could be witch craft attac...

 When You Can't Take It Anymore! Guest post by Pastor Daniel Chukwunonso Akachukwu Scripture Reading "You'll live by your sword, hand-to-mouth, and you'll serve your brother. But WHEN YOU CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE YOU'LL BREAK LOOSE AND RUN FREE." Gen. 27:40 MSG Bible Study From the above text, it is quite clear that whatever is happening to a man or around a man can only last as long as that individual permits it.  Isaac said to his son Esau, "you'll live by your sword, hand-to-mouth (that's a very hard life for one to lead, it means that he will always be in struggles, laboring and sweating only just to feed and not to accumulate wealth nor gather riches); you'll be a servant to your brother."  With all the labors and sweats and struggles that Esau was meant to put up with, he was also to serve his younger brother Jacob, what an error!  But the thing is this; even though it's a decreed event or process that must surely be, Isaac the...

  Bible verse For the Day: Today's Bible verse is an assurance of God's consistent love for us. We all have been in situations where we feel so much hated, rejection and suspicious; a place where we are misunderstood, criticized, marginalized, and treated as second class.  Our Bible verse for the day is prayerfully selected to bring you confidence when people scorn you, give you hope when others try to make you feel hopeless, tells you you have an all-knowing, all-powerful, and ever-present friend even when you feel alone and lost. As you read this covenant promises, I pray for you to rise above every limit set before you today in Jesus' Name. Amen. Isaiah 43:1-2 [1]But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob[Insert your Name], and he that formed thee, O Israel[Insert your family name here], Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. [2]When [I] thou passest through the waters, I [God] will be with thee[me]; and through th...

BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY Hi, are you feeling discouraged and need a word from the Lord that will answer that burning question of your heart? Do you flip through the Bible not really knowing where and how to find that one word from God to start your day? I will be prayerfully giving you a word from Gods word every day to help you stay strong in the Lord and in the power of his might, and I will help you keep on the whole amour of God you have put on because the battles ahead need us to unite in prayer against the wiles and devices of the devil and his cohorts from hades. Our verse for today is Psalms 91:1-16 "[1]He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. [2]I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. [3]Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. [4]He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth sha...
