NOT ABOUT MY FEELINGS

-

The worst decisions are made when they are made based on feelings.


Proverbs 28:26 

He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.


We as humans were made in the image of God and we therefore carry His attributes, we have feelings, yes God do have feelings from the little we know of Him.


Acts 17:29

"Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man's devising.


So ofcourse we get angry, we are excited, we laugh, we love, we are unhappy sometimes and so on and so forth.


"The issue is not how we feel."


This cannot be over-emphasized.


Many a great men, inventors, achievers, and leaders would never have made it if they had depended on their feelings.


Feelings can be a fraud, feelings decieve 😀


Yes the mood will change, we could get depressed, discouraged, delayed, disappointed but we can not afford to give in to them. We stay strong, we listen to our spirit not our emotions.


Proverbs 20:27

The spirit of a man is the lamp of the LORD, searching all the inner depths of his heart.


That is where the Holy Spirit ministers!


The world and all its swings will continue, yet no matter how much we relate with the world (which we must do) we must not be carried away by mood swings we must stay connected, strong, in the spirit.


We must learn to get up strong even after mistakes. selah


John 17:15-18

"I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one

 "As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world


So every thought must be brought under the authority of Christ, this is why we must study scriptures, stay in prayer and worship:


2 Corinthians 10:5

We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ.


The Lord God will strengthen us today, the mood swings will subject to His word's fill. We will be controlled by His Spirit.


Yes our helper is here.


We won't cause evil but good.


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
