BE READY TO MAKE THE RIGHT MOVES

Nehemiah 2:5
And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if thy servant have found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers' sepulchres, that I may build it.

Some say the have resolutions, resolves to stop bad habits, focus on real goals and achieve them. However, many do not achieve them. Some who claim to be spiritual, do the praying, but leave out the listening and following of instruction. Some just go ahead relying on their instinct. The believer must be balanced.

The life of Chris Gardner, played by Will Smith in the movie "pursuit for happiness", we hear his son telling a story. "A christian man found himself drowning in water and a man came by in a boat to save him, but he refused his help saying to the man "God will help me". Another man came in a boat and tried to help him, he refused again saying, "God will save me". He finally drowned and went to heaven. When he got to heaven he asked God "Why did you not save me". God replied, "I sent two men dummy".

It is vital to pray and fast just as Nehemiah did, however are we attentive to receive instructions and directions? For it is one thing for the Heavenly Father to speak, it is another thing for us to hear and understand. This is why we must remain in the Spirit.

Nehemiah was attentive, he knew where his help would come from.

As we approach the coming year, we must be resolute to make the right moves. No matter what level of life we are, or what our present situation is, there is always a moving ahead.

For we who teach the word, we counsel that in all our growing be it for our physical well being, family, business or other goals we must make effort to:

2Peter 3:18
But grow in grace, and [in] the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him [be] glory both now and for ever. Amen.

We cannot know Him enough, as other areas of our life succeeds we must balance our spiritual life. For the King will surely return victorious:

Luke 19:15
And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.

We will make the right moves, we will prosper, the Heavenly Father will be pleased with us.

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
