Overwhelming Battles (a reminder)

-

2Chronicles 20:17

Ye shall not [need] to fight in this [battle]: set yourselves, stand ye [still],
and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD [will be] with you.

There are times when the things under our care or that matters to us become so overwhelming. When issues seem to spring up from here and there and we wonder how we would take care of them.

* Some may have come because it is its season.

* Others may be due to our mistakes or wrong decisions.

* Another may be part of our promotion or growing process.

* Yet another could be of no fault of us.

* And ofcourse those that affect or concern us because of those we love, care for, or are accountable for.

It could flood in sometimes and the answer we may have is worry or maybe anger or just pain.

We need to remember that worrying and carrying of such kind of burdens is what Yeshua, Jesus the Christ came to help us with.

There are so many things the Lord did not promise us that we run after, however there are things He assures us for.

Matthew 11:28(KJV)
Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

We are certain of this promise, we are not called to worry and carry heavy burdens.

This is what He said:

Matthew 11:30
For my yoke [is] easy, and my burden is light.

Yes that is what He said and we can hold Him for His word.

The truth is if we are not unburdened of all these unnecessary and tough loads we bear, we would find it difficult to carry His own awesome burden. That which is filled in joy and rewards both here and after.

He said we should lay them on Him.

1Peter 5:7
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

So no matter the source, be it at;

* work
* school
* business
* home
* society
* or even in church (hmm)

The same dose is needed:

* Prayer
* Word and
* Worship

I see us relieved of every unnecessary burden or yoke. The Spirit will direct us in decisions and actions that will unburden us and give us peace.

Prayer: Lord I cast all my cares and burdens to you according to your word.

We are favoured afresh this week.

He calls us blessed.

Love

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
