BE ENCOURAGED

-

 Proverbs 12:25

Worry weighs a person down; an encouraging word cheers a person up.


We cannot underscore the role of encouragement in the life of the believer, for we are still humans and things do arise to make us doubt.


We could get tired of a thing because it seems to delay, we feel betrayed or we are just tired. Our emotions can really be a stumbling block.


So, scriptures counsels us:


Hebrews 10:25

And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.


Most people quote this verse and feel it is just says "go to church" but read again:


Hebrews 10:25 

Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some [is]; but exhorting [one another]: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.


The essence of the gathering is - "but exhorting", "but encourage"


If your gathering does not do this, then something is wrong somewhere!


That push, the reminder of God's promises in scriptures, that correction, that worship of Him, reminding us who He is, what He has done and what He yet has in store for us.


It will wake us up fresh, removing the weight of unbelief and worries and bring us to the light of our breakthrough. Then prayers, that turns things around, clearing obstacles and allowing God's blessings to flow.


Listen every venture even in the secular faces it's downtime, when it seems it is just not working, slow or crashing down, it takes that leader, or supporter of faith to encourage, to believe that things will yet work out for the success to be achieved. 


Talk to all those you admire and look up to, their story was not all smooth.


Get up, move on, stop relying merely on man, even if they are of all sincerity, they are not omnipotent, they to have their challenges.


Most times our worry does not allow us listen to God's instruction. He might want us to stop, wait or take another turn. We must clear the airwaves and our heart to be able to hear.


God is able.


Remember where your help comes from:


Psalms 121:1-2

I look up to the mountains— does my help come from there?

My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth!


So instead of worrying, PRAY!


This remains theory, till you practice it and make it your norm - I am still working on it!


Matthew 6:25-34


Help us Good Lord.


He calls us blessed.


Love

MAINTAIN A GODLY MARRIAGE

-
Judges 13:2-3,6,10 In those days a man named Manoah from the tribe of Dan lived in the town of Zorah. His wife was unable to become pregnant, and they had no children. The angel of the Lord appeared to Manoah’s wife and said, “Even though you have been unable to have children, you will soon become pregnant and give birth to a son. The woman ran and told her husband, “A man of God appeared to me! He looked like one of God’s angels, terrifying to see. I didn’t ask where he was from, and he didn’t tell me his name. So she quickly ran and told her husband, “The man who appeared to me the other day is here again!” We live in times when the institution of marriage is being destroyed from in and out of the church. Divorce rate is high and many are in a marriage but are not happy therein. What is the problem? God has been taken out of the equation. How? Jesus said: Matthew 19:8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had origina

Remember: God is in control.

As we go through the 11th month of this year of accomplishment, let us be reminded. When it seems to hurt so much, or it all looks quiet and alone, when it appears not to work out. Please don't give up, God is still in control Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. My dear it is not about how you feel, and not about what it seems, it is about what He Has promised and He who promised is sure to keep His Word. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:12 " Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you." God is in control and His plans for you are good. He has already done it. Romans 4:21 " and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform." Have a

NEEDLESS BATTLES

-
Judges 12:1-4 Then the people of Ephraim mobilized an army and crossed over the Jordan River to Zaphon. They sent this message to Jephthah: “Why didn’t you call for us to help you fight against the Ammonites? We are going to burn down your house with you in it!” Jephthah replied, “I summoned you at the beginning of the dispute, but you refused to come! You failed to help us in our struggle against Ammon. So when I realized you weren’t coming, I risked my life and went to battle without you, and the Lord gave me victory over the Ammonites. So why have you now come to fight me?” The people of Ephraim responded, “You men of Gilead are nothing more than fugitives from Ephraim and Manasseh.” So Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and attacked the men of Ephraim and defeated them. When the Lord does not lead you, you become prone to minding and walking with unnecessary things, like fighting unnecessary battles and stirring evil sentiments. I have always said that devices like racism, tri
