GOD COMFORTS US

-

2 Corinthians 1:4

Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.


This is why God allows us to go through these troubles, we experience His comfort, then in turn we are able to comfort others.


For Paul described two attributes of God's nature:


2 Corinthians 1:3

Blessed [be] God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;


*Father of mercies

*God of all comfort


All glory to His name.


Furthermore Paul prayed:


Philippians 4:7

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.


So no matter what we experience, we must understand that God's intention for us is always for good. We must know by His Spirit what to reject and what to accept.


Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.


In all we are more than conquerors, for it will always work for our good.


Thus instead of holding on to that difficulty or trouble we hold on to Him.


Philippians 4:6

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.


What did Jesus say as the time for His physical departure from the earth came close:


John 14:27 NLT

“I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid. 


We really need God's comfort and peace, we cannot control what people or the enemies do, but we can control what we allow. I choose God's comfort and peace and no one can take it away from me. Glory.


Dear Father, you have never failed, neither will you begin to fail in me. I thank you for your grace, mercy, peace and comfort. I reach out to you day after day. Blessed be your name Lord forevermore. Halleluyah


We are blessed.


Love

GOOD LIKE YOUR FATHER

-
Genesis 1:31 Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good! And evening passed and morning came, marking the sixth day. There is one thing we must have in mind, "it is the desire of our Heavenly Father that we should be like Him". He is good and He expects us to be good, we follow in His good nature. One of the attributes of the Heavenly Father's goodness is in the perfection of His work. What can be said of your works? Listen, the Psalmist sang: Psalms 118:23 This is the Lord’s doing, and it is wonderful to see. Look at those who walked with the Heavenly Father in scriptures, their works were wonderful to behold, is it when they worked in spiritual positions, Joseph and Daniel in interpretation of dreams and giving wise counsel; or the prophets when they delivered God's message or did miracles. Their works were commendable when they were in political positions, Joseph and Daniel are still very good examples, no blemish was found in their work...

OUR GIVING

-
John 12:3 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. What exactly have we sacrificed for Christ? We talk of all His goodness, love and unmerited favour, how have we shown appreciation for the grace He has given us? Do we really know what the Lord has done for us? Psalm 139:17-18 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!  [If] I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. Psalm 30:12 To the end that [my] glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever. People ask, Christ is not physically here with us, how can I pour my precious oil on Him? This is what He said: Matthew 25:40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done [it] unto one of the least of these...

CHRIST'S RULE

-
Isaiah 11:9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. The prophecy on Judah's predicament did not end there, there was the prophecy of the return of the remnant. The end of the days will see a new wave of peace and joyous happiness. It will be characterized with the initial plan of God being fulfilled. Wildness in animals removed, wars will not need to be fought, snakes would no longer be poisonous. Peace would reign. This prophecy displayed salvation in Christ Jesus for the Gentiles.: Isaiah 11:10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious. Christ Jesus would also bring about the return of the remnant of the children of Israel from all parts of the earth. It would be like the exit of Israel from the bondage they experienced with Pharaoh in Egypt. No matter how we look ...
