LEAVE IT TO THE LORD (a reminder)

-

Psalm 129:2

Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.


The wise one leaves the troubles to the Lord, for who is in the best position to fight our battles, but Him who is in charge of all things.


Psalm 24:8

Who [is] this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.


When you put your trust in the Lord, He takes care of your oppositions, He deals with those who come against you for no just cause.


Examples of His fight for His children abound in scriptures:


2Chronicles 20:15

And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle [is] not yours, but God's.


Many a times you just have to do nothing, but stand still and know that He is God.


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.


Wisdom tells us that no matter what force we go with, what defence we prepare or what preventions we put in place. Victory is of the Lord:


Proverbs 21:31

The horse [is] prepared against the day of battle: but safety [is] of the LORD.


For we who have believed and have been saved, we understand that the greatest battle against us has been won and that is "the battle for our soul".


Mark 8:37

Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?


This is greatest battle of all.


Glory to God we have the victory already. He who gave us this victory will also give us victory in all things. Glory to His Holy name.


Thus let us leave it all to Him, He will take care of it. Our duty is to listen to His instructions, then take action.


So,


Instead of worrying, I will worship the Heavenly Father.


Instead of complaining I will confess His promises.


Instead of revenge I will release myself to the Lord's peace.


I will stay in prayer and meditation of His Word.


Cause I know who got me. The Almighty God.


John 16:33

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.


1 Peter 5:7

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


Glory to God.


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

TRADE WISELY

-
Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Many have traded their joy chasing over material things and the pleasures and satisfaction of the world. The question is "is it worth it?". Yes we must earn, work and keep improving day after day but we must remember "nothing is free". We must pay a price. So, what are we ready to sacrifice? Some have sacrificed, their: * health * peace of mind * children * marriage * calling * ministry * good name All in the bid to get material things. 2Timothy 4:10 for Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and has departed for Thessalonica-- Crescens for Galatia, Titus for Dalmatia. There is always a process, we would get into trouble when we try to use the shortcut, to get it by all means and immediately. Let us be careful of what exchange we make! Let us ask like J

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
