HIS MERCY KEEPS US

-
Jude 1:21
Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

It should not come as a shock to us believers that we could get wary as we continue on our christian journey. No one was promised a smooth sail.

1 Peter 4:12
 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

However we must be encouraged to stay strong especially in those times when it seems we may want to fall or give up. Remembering that it is not an option.

We never grow too great that we no longer need the Mercy of God, everyone of us, no matter the level we are, still need His mercy as we go on. We of course remember that we have not gotten thus far on our own strength. No, it is the Lord's mercy.

Psalm 106:1
Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.

The tide could rise, the storms could roar, we could even face internal crises, let us remember that we are not limited to how we feel but to whom we have put our trust in. We can fail but He cannot.

Our Christianity is not a fanfare. We must know its seriousness, yet still know how to rejoice. Selah

However no matter what, we set our eyes on Him who called us.

Even if we fall, we stand again, He will pick us up.

Psalm 89:33
 Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.

So let us remember:

Hebrews 4:16
 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Do you need His mercy, or you plead it on behalf of someone else. We are reminded that it is available. Come on beloved.

He began with mercy, He keeps us in His mercy and we will finish in His mercy.

1 Peter 1:3
Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

What a loving God we have.

Do continue in prayers.

We are blessed.

Love
@the watcher.

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
