KEEP BLESSING

-
Deuteronomy 28:6
Blessed [shalt] thou [be] when thou comest in, and blessed [shalt] thou [be] when thou goest out.

That is the promise God gave His own and He expects us to reflect it in all we do.

Definitely we feel pain and hurt when we are wronged, betrayed or hurt. More painful if it comes from a loved one.

Betrayal tears at the heart and the easiest thing to do is to wish evil for the one who hurt us. We could be tempted to curse with outspoken words or in our heart.

However we are reminded to bless and not to curse.

Romans 12:14
 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.

Luke 6:28
 "bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you.

Romans 12:19
 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord.

It is not that it is easy to do, however the Holy Spirit is there to help us.

That is why He came to live inside of us.

[If you are reading this and yet to receive, Jesus the Christ as your Lord and Saviour. The struggle continues. Why not let Him have control. We will yet stand before Him. Let us meet him as friends not as one who rejected Him. "John 15:15"]

If evil which we wish or speak as a curse manifest on those we see at a point in time as an enemy, it won't increase our joy.

What if that one we cursed really do repent, with regret of the wrong done and seeks forgiveness? We would become the one who did wrong!

 So then it is wise to follow the Spirit's counsel.

Matthew 5:44
 "But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,

May, LOVE, which is the first character of the Holy Spirit and whose name God bears overtake us, that we will BLESS and not curse. No matter how much we are hurt.

1John 4:7
 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.

Let us train ourselves to it, the Character of God in us must be built up.

Romans 12:2
 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

We will fulfil it, yes we will bless and not curse.

We are blessed.

Again I say

God bless you.

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
