GOD'S PLAN FOR YOU IS PROTECTED FROM THE ENEMY

-
1 Corinthians 2:9
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

When God was preparing Joseph for leadership in Egypt, the enemies knew nothing about it. What could they see?:

* the dreamer had been thrown into a pit, yes the wild animals will eat him up

* the dreamer has been sold into slavery, to a people who did not value human life, he will work to death in the hands of his slave masters

* the dreamer has been thrown into prison in a foreign land with no hope of contacting his people, yes no hope for him.

This is how the enemies see when the plot and plan for the believers downfall.

However what was Joseph's testimony:

Genesis 50:20
But as for you, ye thought evil against me; [but] God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as [it is] this day, to save much people alive.

He ruled in that same strange land, even his master could not get food without his permission.

Can we talk of Jacob, David, Daniel and other men of old.

What of the Word of God, the Son of the Heavenly Father, the fullness of the Godhead bodily:

1 Corinthians 2:8
Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known [it], they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

That is how God works with us, His glorious plans for us is kept secured from the enemy. All the enemies' battles against us is a waste of time. They only touch the irrelevant. We thus should not give-in or breakdown because of them.

Why? :

Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose.

Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

So don't stay limp, don't look for sympathy. There is no sentimentality in the spirit. Arise take your stand, let the Lord fight your battle. Stay steadfast, don't mix things up, remain focused. Stay in prayer, worship and study of the word.

Heavenly Father we thank you for we know you have the best plans for us. We trust you more. We ask for grace, wisdom and power to walk steadfast, focused and in faith. Help us continue in prayers, worship and study of your word. You will be glorified in our lives again and again. Thank you dear Lord.

He calls us 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
