HE CAN HANDLE IT

-

1 Peter 5:7 (KJV) 

Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.


1 Peter 5:7 (NLT) 

Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.


As a child I used to wonder how the Heavenly Father could handle all the requests and prayers we raise to Him from all parts of the earth. One is asking for rain while the other is asking for sunshine and both living in the same area. Requests varying from one part of the globe, to the other, people wanting healing, some food, other conquests, promotions, deliverance, children, money and the lists is endless. How does He cope with all these? 


Well He said He can! 


Isaiah 59:1 

Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:


His Word can reach anywhere and He accomplishes all He sent Him to do:


Isaiah 55:10-11 

For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:

So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper [in the thing] whereto I sent it.


When the Word of God was revealed (Christ Jesus) He said:


Matthew 11:26-28

Yes, Father, it pleased you to do it this way!

“My Father has entrusted everything to me. No one truly knows the Son except the Father, and no one truly knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”

Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.


Then Peter revealed:


1 Peter 5:7 

Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.


Look at these two words: *COME and *CAST


It is a total responsibility, Christ is saying I will take total responsibility for you, all you need to do is submit. 


See the preceding verse to 1Peter 5:7


1 Peter 5:6a

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God


Our role is submission. 


The new age teachers will ask, does this mean I fold my hands and do nothing? 


NO


We do but we DO by obedience. 


Proverbs 3:5-7

Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.

Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.

Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the lord and turn away from evil.


Thus Christ, in explaining why the Father would never leave Him:


John 8:29

And the one who sent me is with me—he has not deserted me. For I always do what pleases him.”


Paul also talked on this:


1 Thessalonians 4:1

Finally, dear brothers and sisters, we urge you in the name of the Lord Jesus to live in a way that pleases God, as we have taught you. You live this way already, and we encourage you to do so even more.


So the key is obedience, it is one thing for the Lord to instruct you, it is another to obey. 


Nothing is too big for Him to handle, He can never get tired of your prayers or overburdened by your requests. He said COME, CAST ALL and He said He CARES. 


So we COME, we CAST as we humble ourselves to the Heavenly Father. 


Truly all is well with us. 


Pray NOW! 


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
