WORKING BEHIND THE SCENE (a reminder)

-

Romans 8:28

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose.


God is working His purpose out
As year succeeds to year;
God is working his purpose out,
And the time is drawing near;
Nearer and nearer draws the time,
The time that shall surely be,
When the earth shall be filled
With the glory of God
As the waters cover the sea.

This is the first verse of a great hymn I love so much, written by  Arthur C. Ainger, 1894 and composed into music by  Martin F. Shaw, 1915.

God is always there even when all seems quiet. Yes, He sees and works with the greater picture, but hello, that picture includes you, His child.

The same way you boot your computer, behind the blank screen billions of processes are taking place , it continues till you see the welcome screen and you can finally log in and start your operations.

The same way God is always working all things out, when you look with your physical eyes you can't see it happening, or it may look gloom and hazy but no God is at work.

How do I know God is at work, Jesus said so:

John 5:17
But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.

He works to make all things fall into place. He knows and can take care of all things, however, He says we must pray . . .

Matthew 6:8
Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

He said we should not be like those who use vain repetitions. Why because when you ask once He has heard, just continue in thanksgiving. It is a Father-son relationship, not idol worship. Talk to God like your father for He is the Heavenly Father. Declare what He has done.

* Prayer is a must for every believer, if you don't, it may mean you don't need it, Selah!

As we end the year I see

* believers arising in prayer

* greater testimonies abounding

* unserious believers shaking off the dust and standing

* miracles, breakthroughs, healings

* children and new homes

* and finally

A GREATER AND BETTER YOU.

PRAYER
Loving Father, I know You care for me, You are working everything out for my good, glory to Your name Lord forevermore.

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
