REMEMBER HIS GOODNESS

-
Colossians 1:12-13 always thanking the Father. He has enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to his people, who live in the light. For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, While we carry out our secular activities we could get carried away with the issues of life, challenges and responsibilities, there is the tendency to forget what the Heavenly Father has done for us. The redefining, rebirth and repositioning. 2Thessalonians 2:13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: Above all the issues in the world, the redemption of our soul is the most crucial. Once this is settled, other things fall into place. They now have meaning. We must remember who the Father has made us to be in His Son Jesus the Christ. We must continually stay grateful for this an...

TUNE IN

-
Galatians 5:16&17 But I say, Go on in the Spirit, and you will not come under the rule of the evil desires of the flesh.  For the flesh has desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; because these are opposite the one to the other; so that you may not do the things which you have a mind to do. We know that the life we live now on earth is legitimate because we have a body. Though this body is tuned to the flesh because of sin, during the new birth our spirit is renewed to walk in the righteousness which we have in Christ Jesus. Many have taken their thoughts, impulse and inner feelings to be the Spirit of God speaking. We must by constant study of the word and prayers tune ourselves to hear clearly what the Spirit is saying. We must get it right, the word of God must be rich in us to have enough vocabulary to communicate with the Spirit. We ought to stay tuned to the frequency. Many in previous years had a clearer communication with God's Spirit but as they k...

LET GO AND WORSHIP

-
1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. We are all trusting God for something either for ourselves or for someone else? Our duty is to commit it into His hands then begin to thank Him for it. We shouldn't let it become a worry so much that we forget all He has done for us. We should instead lay the worries aside and just acknowledge Him who made you see today, give Him praise, worship Him and give Him thanks. Most times we are trapped by lack of insight into the bigger picture, we could then get carried away and not understand God's wisdom working to keep us from situations that will cause us pain. Jesus said our worries would not solve the problem, our prayers, faith and thanksgiving would do it! Let's set all worries aside, that we may recognise Him who made all things and who controls all things. Revelation 7:12 saying: "Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom, thanksgiving and honor and power and might, be to our God forever and ever. Amen....

WATCH WHAT YOU SAY

-
It is necessary that we remind ourselves that what and how we speak has great impact and consequences. Colossians 4:6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one. Nothing pierces the heart with pain more than words. Some say it is better to be physically hit than to be smitten by words. Our Heavenly father expects us to be careful with our words. The scripture says that power lies in our tongue and Jesus said we will account for every idle word we speak. Matthew 12:36 "But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. When we speak, we prophesy into our lives, we also provoke angels, and if we are careless we could provoke other spirits into action by our words. Matthew 12:37 "For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned." When we speak, what should be the outcome? Our speech as believers should be to: * edify on...

YOU ARE WONDERFULLY MADE

-
 Psalm 139:14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. Envy no one, you were made special no copy of you exists, you are dynamic and different. You may know others who have the same goals, aspirations or exhibit the same talent/gifts with you but yet you are different. One thing you are not, is irrelevant. You are a class all by yourself. People could confuse who you are, because of the state/position they see you at a particular point in time (be it high or low). It limits them from seeing who you really are in the Spirit so they respond to you from the limited perception. See examples: * Abraham: Abimelech misjudged Abraham Genesis 20:7 "Now therefore, restore the man's wife; for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you shall live. But if you do not restore her, know that you shall surely die, you and all who are yours. * Joseph: his brothers, father, Potiphar and his wife mi...

IF GOD PERMITS

-
Psalms 127:1-2(NLT) Unless the Lord builds a house, the work of the builders is wasted. Unless the Lord protects a city, guarding it with sentries will do no good. It is useless for you to work so hard from early morning until late at night, anxiously working for food to eat; for God gives rest to his loved ones. Many have attributed their success and achievements to their personal efforts, dedication and wisdom. Though they are the controlling factors, the God factor cannot be trivialized. The truth is, if God does not permit us, we waste our efforts. Yes, we could give great examples of people who have not believed, yet have prospered in this life. (we have different forms of prosperity). However remember, that there are others who have done what they have done, be it risks, strategies and steps, however they could not accomplish what these ones did. It is foolish to believe that their success could take place without God's approval! Daniel 4:30 The king spake, and said, Is not t...

KEEP TELLING THE STORY

-
Matthew 28:18 - 20 Then Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.  "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, "teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen This command remains Jesus final instructions to us when He left - reaching out to the lost-, because He died for all. 2Corinthians 5:15  and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again The passion of Christ was that all will hear of His great sacrifice, repent and have eternal life. Yes ALL! The instruction was for everyone who is saved to preach the message and live as examples. It is not only for a selected few. 2Timothy 4:5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make ful...
