YET GIVE GOD GLORY

Revelation 4:11

Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.


1 Thessalonians 5:18

Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.


Looking around through the recent years:


Yes. . .


* We have requests

* We have some things bothering us

* We have a big project, job or assignment on our hands needing to be completed 

* There may be an issue in the family

* We may need a financial provision urgently

* There may be someone who needs healing

* We may have a matter to settle or an issue to resolve

* Someone may have hurt or annoyed us

* We await news, or wait for a report

* We just want to free from all the burdens


. . . .yes and maybe others not mentioned.


You may be tempted to give up or just stop trusting God.


Notwithstanding, today we need to lay them all aside and just acknowledge Him who made us to see today, give Him praise, worship Him, give Him thanks . . .


Be reminded that all those things only matter because you are alive!


Know that they have arisen before in a different proportion and God had helped you scale through it.


So,


Let us set today aside to recognise Him who made all things and who controls all things.


Revelation 7:12

 saying: "Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom, thanksgiving and honor and power and might, be to our God forever and ever. Amen."


Romans 16:27

to God, alone wise, be glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen.


You know He can take care of it . . . He promised He will


2Corinthians 1:20

For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.


My friends let us say like David


Psalm 30:12

To the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever.


Those things that bother you now are nothing compared to the battle He is currently taking care of on Your behalf.


If only our eyes are opened like He did to Elisha's servant:


2 Kings 6:14-17

So one night the king of Aram sent a great army with many chariots and horses to surround the city.

When the servant of the man of God got up early the next morning and went outside, there were troops, horses, and chariots everywhere. “Oh, sir, what will we do now?” the young man cried to Elisha.

“Don’t be afraid!” Elisha told him. “For there are more on our side than on theirs!”

Then Elisha prayed, “O Lord, open his eyes and let him see!” The Lord opened the young man’s eyes, and when he looked up, he saw that the hillside around Elisha was filled with horses and chariots of fire.


Our Glory in God will be revealed afresh.


So,


Let us worship Him today starting from our bed side.


Know this:


Lamentations 3:22-23

The faithful love of the Lord never ends! 

His mercies never cease.

Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning.


Don't lose hope instead, encourage someone else today.


May the peace of the Lord be with us all.


PRAYER

Lord I believe, remove all my unbelief, proof Yourself again and again in my life. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.


He says all is well.


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
