WHAT YOU CONTROL 1(a reminder)

-

Matthew 7:7-8

“Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.

For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.


Request never ending,

Asking and Asking,
Seeking and Seeking,
Fasting and waiting,
Reading and studying,
Being taught day after day,

from one programme to the other, one skill acquisition to another and one miracle service to the other.

All these are key elements of people who are heading somewhere, who have a vision of something greater in the future.

Mediocrity and laziness is not acceptable in the kingdom of God.

Trying to get help on things we do not have control on.

But . . .

What have we done with the one we can control.

God asked Moses: "what do you have in your hand?"

The prophet asked the widow: "What do you have left?"

Now the question is what are we doing with what God has allowed us to control, the number one thing is self.

Colossians 3:10
And have put on the new [man], which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

How have you taken charge to ensure that you have taken care of your mind, body and soul.

Romans 12:1&2
 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.
 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

It is what you do on purpose allowing the "you" submit to the Spirit of God, His Word and His will.

In Romans 12:2 . . .
it is only only when you willing begin to transform your mind . . . "by studying the word of God, praying consistently in the spirit and with understanding"
then you begin to understand and live the perfect will of God.

As we continue in work today I see us disconnecting from every vain conformity and connecting to God's transformation through His Holy Spirit.

Colossians 3:5
Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

We will bear good fruit and our fruit shall abide.

Take control of what you control. Do it today.

PRAYER
Dear Lord help me take charge of the things You have put in my control, no more waste of time with things that are of no profit. I lean on You Lord for excellence and success. Glory to Your name Lord.

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
