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

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
