DO YOU MOURN?

-

Matthew 5:4

God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted.


When a true believer sees the wickedness or perverseness in the world, it causes them to mourn and desire for God's rule on the earth.


We do not mourn over mundane or canal things. No, it is not about us but about God.


What we have with most supposed believers is conformity. The absurd adage that says: "if you can't beat them join them". No, it shouldn't be so.


You cannot afford to lose your identity because everyone around you seem to go towards a particular direction and you feel left out. Don't fall for it, it is at that time you need to stand strong.


You may have made a mistake and then you are mocked, it shouldn't deter you, keep the faith alive, stay strong.


Christ never said we would have it sweet and jolly with the world because of our faith, No, He even said the contrary.


John 16:33

I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”


The promise is that the victory has been won already.


So be comforted, you have God's Spirit in you. Find your comfort from within and not without. Stay in Prayer, Worship and study the word. These are the three key elements to keep your spirit in tune with God's Spirit in You.


Woe unto those who trouble you, they would not have to deal with you but with the One who owns you. What a dilemma.


Hebrews 10:31

It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God.


The worst thing anyone can do is to make themselves an enemy of God. I can't image it!


When speaking through the prophets concerning Israel's restoration the prophet wrote:


Isaiah 49:25

But the Lord says, 

“The captives of warriors will be released, and the plunder of tyrants will be retrieved. 

For I will fight those who fight you,  and I will save your children.


What makes you mourn, your children, family, community, nation or the world in generation? 


No matter what it is, 

Keep praying about it, keep interceding. The Lord sees Your doings and He would work at bringing You comfort by saving those souls.


So they may think you mourn now, but actually you rejoice for the Lord has comforted you and filled you with Joy.


Glory to God.


PRAYER

Loving Father, by Your Spirit You have comforted me and filled me with joy, no one can bring me down for it is Your Mighty hand that lifted me. O I am helped of the Lord. 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
