BE THANKFUL

-

Isaiah 12:4-5

In that wonderful day you will sing: 

“Thank the Lord! Praise his name! 

Tell the nations what he has done. Let them know how mighty he is!

Sing to the Lord, for he has done wonderful things. Make known his praise around the world.


Psalm 118:23

This is the LORD'S doing; it [is] marvellous in our eyes.


We are humans and we always have needs, this is why we ask, for we trust that we will receive, if I have no faith of receiving, why bother asking in the first place?


However, we may say that there are times we have asked but not received. The emphatic part of not receiving according to scriptures is asking amiss.


Today, we look at another part: ungratefulness! For there are so many things we received but never asked for. Listen to Jesus:


Matthew 6:32

These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs.


The Heavenly Father already knows that we have need of them! Glory. So He takes care of them. Halleluyah


We are not allowed to be ungrateful for we humans tend to forget the answered prayers and tend to dwell on the one we think is not answered or the reply is not what we were expecting.


Don't forget when:


* we asked and we received


* we cried out in pains and He healed us


* we faced trouble and He took as out of it


* our family had issues and He stepped in and took control.


* we lacked and He miraculously supplied.


* we feared death, but He has kept us.


* we sinned and He forgave us again and again.


* we where not that faithful, yet He was there for us.


The list goes on:


We cannot allow the present challenges make us forget our victories. We have the victory, "yester-wins" is an assurance of "today-wins".


That challenge would have to face your BIG God . . . it has no choice than to crumble.


Joshua 4:24

"that all the peoples of the earth may know the hand of the LORD, that it is mighty, that you may fear the LORD your God forever."


1Peter 5:6

Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time,


Our God is mighty, if you are His, then victory is assured. No matter what it is you are faced with today.


It is well.


Rejoice, sing with melody in you heart. Be thankful for you have a BIG God.


In all, 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
