DO NOT STAY THERE

-
Psalm 40:2
He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, [and] established my goings.

James 5:15
And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

The Lord did not create man to fail, and what is failure, other than to stay in failure.

Look at the prodigal son:

Luke 15:17
And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!

It is a trick of the enemy to make a believer or even a non believer remain in the place of sin!

Most of the time, it is the enemy and his agents that bring the suggestion of wrong to the mind, thus when the mind receives it, having the power to create it breeds on it and it takes life. Then as the bible says death follows.

So okay, we have made the mistake, yes we have done that so called, "little wrong",  or "big wrong". We don't have to stay there. WE DO NOT NEED ONE TO BUILD A MINISTRY OUT OF OUR SHORT FALLS, WEAKNESS OR FAILURE. NO!!!

We are to be set free and get moving, get to work.

These failings destroy temporarily our dreams, visions, goals and passions. They keep it on hold and even delay it. However we can get out of that mud, that miry clay and pick up our tools and continue our walk/work with God.

Ephesians 4:22 - 24
That you are to put away, in relation to your earlier way of life, the old man, which has become evil by love of deceit;
 And be made new in the spirit of your mind,
 And put on the new man, to which God has given life, in righteousness and a true and holy way of living.

Some have been privileged to stay on course from the time they received Christ till their ministry ends, some of us may not have been that favoured, we may have even been weak, lazy or gotten distracted, however we must not stay there. WE MUST GET OUT OF THOSE WEBS, BE FREE AND FULFIL OUR PURPOSE!

Let us begin the prayer now, make the decision and conclude that we will not be caught off guard again.

Time ticks away.

I see us revived, replenished and on track, we are more than conquerors.

You are blessed.

Love

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
