God Qualifies the Unqualified, He Has Not Rejected You. God Does Not Reject Anyone

Posted on June 24, 2015 by Prayer

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends

“And Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab; and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse“.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Rahab was a prostitute. She took a good look at her life and must have imagined how she would end up. She saw an opportunity when the servant of God who came to spy the land lodged at her house. She took a decision to end prostitution. She looked at herself and realized that of all the people in her city, God had chosen to visit her. She made a decision to end prostitution that day and start a new life. She made the choice to hide the spies and side with the Lord. If you check the Scriptures, Rahab is documented in the lineage of Jesus Christ. That’s God. That’s an uncommon grace. God qualifies the unqualified! So you see you are the only one who can rule yourself out. God has not rejected you. He does not reject anyone.

1-John_4-18: There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love

Don’t ever write off anyone, no matter how bad their situation is. Don’t write people off no matter how far gone or hopeless their case is. As long as a man is still sitting under the teaching of the word of God, don’t underestimate him. It was Job who said a tree can be cut down but as long as that tree perceives the scent of water it will sprout again and bring forth (Job14:7-9). Water here is a type of the Word of God.

Ruth was another example. Ruth and Orpah were married to the sons of Elimelech. They both lost their husbands during difficult times. Orpah turned back and we never heard about her again. There is no book documented in her name. They both got married to the same family and were introduced to the same God. They both had colourful destinies but when they came to a cross road in their lives, Orpah said what the world normally says; a bird in hand is better than thousands in the bush. That’s not what the bible says, it is a fable.

The believer walks by faith and not by sight. Orpah kissed her mother-in-law and went back but Ruth said the future may not look colourful, it may look ordinary, and it may appear as if nothing can happen but I’d rather stay connected to God almighty and I will not let go of his love for me. She went with Naomi. Ruth went with God and today a whole book of the bible is dedicated to Ruth. In the scripture, a Moabitess, Ruth, was found in the lineage of Christ. That is an uncommon grace.

Make a decision to go all the way with the Lord today and I assure you that you will also experience uncommon grace. I bless you today in the name of the Lord.

Keep Moving

Posted on June 24, 2015 by Prayer

Ephesians_6-13: Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand

Keep Moving

“Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain . . .”

Zechariah 4:7 (KJV)

Whenever you come to the crossroads of life, get ready because God is ready to show you a dimension of himself that you have never seen. There will always be crossroads. You cannot pray, fast or confess it out of existence. Every one of us will surely come to crossroads several times in our lives. A crossroad is a place where you make critical decisions. Crossroads are part of your pathway to greatness.

1-Corinthians_2-9: But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him

Moses had the assignment of a deliverer, he was to lead God’s people out of Egypt and slavery after 430 years. They came to the red sea. The scripture tells us that before them was the sea, on their left and right were obstacles; behind them they saw the Egyptians with their choicest military personnel in hot pursuit. Remember they were in the will of God but that was a crossroad. What do you do when you are in God’s will and things are still difficult; and you don’t know what stand to take? Do you know what God said to Moses; tell them to go forward. You have come to a crossroad but go forward.

In Christianity there is nothing like retreat, you don’t go back. That was why when they crossed the sea, the Lord told Moses to lift up his hands and the sea covered. In other words you can’t go back no matter the crossroad you encounter in life or in your pathway of serving God. Go forward, don’t retreat. Don’t run away from battle. Go forward and you will see the salvation of God. Whenever you go forward you see God in another dimension. You see him do the unusual.

Child of God, I challenge you now to go forward. Keep moving. The mountain will fall before you. Just go forward. I can assure you that when you are faced with a mountain and you are determined to go on irrespective of obstacles, supernaturally, the mountain will either give way or you climb over the mountain or you go under it or you bore a hole through it. One thing is sure; you are getting to the other side. Beloved rejoice because I already see you on the other side.

This year you And I will testify in Jesus name

Posted on June 24, 2015 by Prayer

Romans_1-17: For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith

This year you And I will testify in Jesus name

“For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.”

Romans 1:17 (KJV)

I don’t know how we came about the idea that simply because we are in the will of God challenges will not come. The fact that you are in the will of God does not give you immunity from the challenges of life. The fact that you are in the will of God is the more reason the enemy would come against you. Oftentimes when people are in the will of God, the challenges they face are so big that they will begin to wonder; did God really promise? Did God really speak to me? Could it be my flesh that was speaking? Could it be that God didn’t say anything about my situation? This is the position a lot of people find themselves in.

1 John 4:4 tell us “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world”. 1 John 5:4 tells us “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith”. As God’s children, we already have the victory. By the reason of your connection to God you are already a victorious person. We are already declared winners because Jesus died for us.

1-John_5-4-3: For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith

I challenge you now to walk in the victory that Jesus has obtained for you. Believe in what He obtained for you and walk in it. Understand that He paid the full price for your victory and there is nothing the adversary can do about it. That is why Jesus himself said “it is finished“. In other words, everything that is needed to be done for your victory over sickness, disease, poverty, failure and disappointment is fully accomplished and the enemy cannot reverse what has been accomplished concerning you. Rise up now and walk in the reality of the victory that you have. This year you will testify in Jesus name. I bless you in the name of the Lord.

Get Ready God Is Going To Prove Himself In Your Life.

Posted on June 23, 2015 by Prayer

Jeremiah_32-27: Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?

Get Ready God Is Going To Prove Himself In Your Life

“Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.”

Isaiah 44:6 (KJV)

Isaiah_44-3: For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring

As we step into a new era physically and spiritually, it is important that we understand the mind of God for every season. It will be a time of satanic attack upon the earth but God will be God in your life. Darkness may be around you but the light of God will shine in your life, family, business and the church will experience great increase in every area. God wants us to leave Him to be who HE is. We are to be spectators and let God be God. Things will happen divinely and supernaturally because He is God. So let Him be God in your life.

The truth is that God is in a class of His own and He wants us to leave Him in His exclusive class. Let Him be God alone that He may show to the world His wonders with the happenings in your lives. How are you going to run with horses if merely running with men is wearying you out? Get ready God is going to prove Himself in your life. If you are thinking that things will be normal before God shows up then you are mistaken. Get ready to be lifted above your wildest dreams. Your rising has started. You have stayed long enough on the floor. God is going to strategically position people for your sake.

The evil that will come on the earth will not come near you. Only with your eyes will you see it but it will not come near you because God is God. He will defend you. He will shield you from all evil and show you His goodness. How can you not manifest in this season when the Almighty is on your side. It is your season. So rejoice and be expectant. It will rain in your desert and there is nothing the devil can do about it. Your harvest will be bountiful. I bless you today.

Enjoy True Spiritual Intimacy In Your Marriage

Posted on June 23, 2015 by Prayer

Biblical Concept On Marriage

Enjoy True Spiritual Intimacy In Your Marriage

Our Marriage is forever (Photo by Pastor Davis)

A strong, healthy marriage doesn’t just include physical intimacy between a husband and wife, but also spiritual intimacy.

What is spiritual intimacy? It is a sense of unity and mutual commitment to God’s purpose for our lives and marriage, and respect for the special dreams of each other’s hearts. It’s the greatest depth of intimacy we experience in marriage.

Intimacy Necessitates Value, Energy, Sacrifice, and Trust. Let’s explore those four areas as they relate to spiritual intimacy.

Value: “I value God’s purpose for your life and the dreams of your heart.”

In marriage, a husband and wife are a team. One is not more important than the other, and together God uses both to accomplish His purposes. That means a husband and wife must each work to help their partner reach their full potential. They are dream-makers for each other, not dream-breakers.

Energy: “I commit to pursuing God personally and together to find and fulfill God’s call on my life, your life and our marriage.”

In making this commitment, a husband and wife collaborate to fulfill God’s call on their lives and marriage. This means putting in the work and energy. Pray together. Worship together Seek God together. Retreat together.

Sacrifice: “I sacrifice the desire to only promote myself or to worry about myself.”

Selfishness is a marriage-killer. God put us together to build each other up and to work as a team. This can be a struggle because humans are naturally selfish. That’s why we must sacrifice this innate self-regard. We have to set it aside in order to build true intimacy. Put your spouse first.

Trust: “I will create an atmosphere where you can share your deepest spiritual desires and dreams and know that they’re honored by me.”

A husband must be his wife’s safest place, and the same goes for a wife. Each person in a marriage must be able to share their dreams without worrying those dreams will be shot down, belittled, or ignored.

Husbands, if you are not prepared to honor your wife’s deepest dreams, don’t expect her to open up to you. Wives, your husband will not share his spiritual desires with you if he expects you to devalue them.

Dreams are sensitive things. Research shows that most couples’ worst fights occur on a dream level. You may dream of financial security. You may dream of a loving, orderly home where children are valued by their parents. You may dream of a house filled with peace.

If your spouse dreams of her house being a restful retreat but you are constantly introducing chaos into the home, you’re not just making her anxious. You are actively attacking her dream.

Having a spouse that fights against or somehow damages that desire can be heartbreaking in a marriage. Help each other pursue each other’s dreams. Don’t stand in the way of them.

Value! Energy! Sacrifice! Trust! Exhibit these behaviors toward your spouse to enjoy true spiritual intimacy in your marriage.

Book Of Remembrance Was Written Before Him For Them That Feared The LORD

Posted on June 23, 2015 by Prayer

Deuteronomy_31-6: Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

“Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.”

Malachi 3:16 (KJV)

Things you have been struggling to do over the years will be easily realized. While others are crying, you will be testifying. Incredible things will happen in your life and it will affect your business, your finance, your health, marriage, family and ministry. It will touch different areas of your life. You will see GOD arranging things in your favour. That is when God is God. I am so excited over you. Your testimony will dazzle the world. Your rejoicing will not be cut short. Your mouth will testify and it will be noised abroad. You will be celebrated. I congratulate you today because you are next in line for a miracle. Get ready!

Joseph said to the butler, “Remember me” and he was forgotten for two years but God was not silent. God was working out something. Who told you that you are forgotten? God remembered Rachael and she conceived. God has remembered you because He remembers his people. In the natural, it looked as if Joseph was abandoned but God was working, waiting for the appointed time. Child of God, this is your time. When Joseph took his hands off every arrangement, then, God became God. Joseph took his hands off when no one remembered him, no one spoke for him, but then Jehovah said “It is your time“.

When they checked, no one in the entire land could interpret the king’s dream. Who told you that you are forgotten? God has your number and you will be remembered. Your case is not forgotten. God is about to surprise your detractors. He has remembered you.

The name “God” means the one who does supernatural things. He is not like man. He does the impossible. I see Him showing you off to the world because He is God. He took Moses from his parents into the very palace of Pharaoh who wanted his head. God is God! You can’t beat His wonders. That is why I know that the enemy will not touch you. He has not found iniquity in you because you are in Christ. All God sees is the beauty of Christ. He is our God and He will provide for us.

Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid

Posted on June 22, 2015 by Prayer

Joshua_1-9: Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

Joshua 1:6-11

Esther 6-8;

Acts 6

Deuteronomy_31-6: Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

Be strong and very courageous. —Joshua 1:7

Whether it’s the loss of a job, the loss of a loved one, a serious illness, or a financial setback, every major change brings challenges.

The book of Joshua is recommended reading whenever we find ourselves in transition. After 40 years of wandering and setbacks, God’s people were poised to enter the Promised Land. Moses, their great leader, had died, and Joshua, his assistant, was in charge.

God told Joshua to “be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go” (Joshua 1:7). God’s words of direction were to be the bedrock of Joshua’s leadership in every situation.

The Lord’s charge and promise to Joshua apply to us as well: “Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go” (v. 9).

Prayer:

Father, I’m bringing You my trials and frustrations. You know each and every detail. Please comfort me as only You can, and provide exactly what I need for today. Help me give my unfulfilled expectations to You, trusting You’re working out a plan for me.

God remains faithful in every change.

Devil, Fear and Doubt

Posted on June 22, 2015 by Prayer

Psalms_23-4-1: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Then he began to call down curses on himself and he swore to them, ‘I don’t know the man!’ Immediately a rooster crowed. Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken: ‘Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.’ And he went outside and wept bitterly.

Matthew 26:74-75

1-Peter_5-8: Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour

Ever since the fall of man, the devil has been actively working to sow doubt and denial in the body of Christ.

The devil succeeded in his evil work in the Garden of Eden, tempting Adam and Eve and causing sin to enter the world: “Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, ‘Did God really say, “You must not eat from any tree in the garden”?'” (Genesis 3:1)

Satan succeeded again with Peter on the night of Jesus’ betrayal-in Matthew 26:69-75, Peter disowned Jesus.

If it could happen to Peter, one of Jesus’ faithful disciples, it could happen to anyone.

The devil will try to instill fear and doubt in whatever way he can. If he can get you to doubt the power and presence of Christ, he has succeeded in his evil work.

Do not give the devil the opportunity to sow these seeds. Rebuke him in the name of Jesus!

Ezekiel 33

Matthew 3:1-3

Matthew 10:16-20

Child Of God, God Is God Whether On The Sea Or In The Land Or In The Air. No Storm Of The Enemy Will Kill You

Posted on June 22, 2015 by Prayer

Jeremiah_32-27: Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?

“God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?”

Numbers 23:19 (KJV)

1-Samuel_2-2: There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God

We must learn to leave God in His exclusive class. In His dealings with us as his children, let’s leave Him and keep working with Him. He came through for the children of Israel after 430 years in Egypt. Let’s not be in the company of those who say that it never happened. The truth is that it happened. He came through for Joseph. He came through for David. For 13 years David was running from pillar to post because he was on death roll but God saw him through. If God saw all these people through He will see you through, if you will only believe.

Today I am still going to show you some people for whom God came through. Look at Paul! Several attempts were made on his life. The devil tried many ways to kill him on his way to Rome but God said Paul you are going to get to Rome. Some people took an oath that they will not break their fast until they have killed him but God used a small boy to expose their plot. Why? It is because Jehovah has spoken and His word cannot be broken. And on their way to Rome the storm came from nowhere but the Lord assured him that even if it is on a piece wood Paul was going to get to Rome and they landed.

When they landed, the devil said now that you are on land I am going to kill you still. A viper fastened itself on him and they thought that he was going to die because if such snake bites you, you are dead. But Paul was still standing.

Child of God, God is God whether on the sea or in the land or in the air. If He delivered on the sea, He will deliver on the land. I declare to you today that no storm of the enemy will kill you. They may come against you in one way but they shall be scattered. You will fulfil your purpose in life and arrive at your destiny. Your life will not be cut short. No matter the situation, God will come through for you. You will testify. I bless you in the name of the Lord.

Child Of God, Stay Focussed On God. Don’t Act In Ignorance

Posted on June 22, 2015 by Prayer

Genesis_28-15-1: And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of

“When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.”

Isaiah 43:2.

Beloved, what I want you to put at the back of your mind is that God will always come through for His people. If He said it, He will do it. If you check the scriptures for His track record, you will discover those He came through for. He came through for Sarah and Abraham. He made a promise to them and twenty five years down the line, it seemed it will not happen but it eventually happened. They had occasion to doubt and to turn their back on God but they stood their ground.

He came through for Zachariah and Elizabeth who were serving God, committed and dedicated. The scripture is careful to tell us in Luke chapter one that these people were serving God faithfully and yet they had no child. They had grown old and there was no possibility of having a child. They didn’t turn their back on God or get angry at Him. But it was when they were in active service in the temple that the Lord came through for them. Let me ask you, when you are angry at God what can you do to Him? I make bold to tell you that whether you serve him or not, He still remains God. Love Him or not, He is still God.

The other day Job was trying to tell God all his qualifications and was saying based on that, he doesn’t see why he should suffer the things he was suffering. I feared you and eschewed evil but look at what has befallen me. Everything I had has been wiped out. How can you say that you love me and these things are happening? Job queried. When he was through with all his questions, in Job 39, God said Ok, it is time for me to ask you my own questions; because if you want to come to me by your merit I will prove to you that you will score something worse than a “fail“. To prove to you that you are zero, I am going to use the everyday things to talk to you. And God began to ask, “Do you know how a goat gives birth to a child? And God asked him several other questions and by the time He was through Job said I was stupid and I have acted in my ignorance. Child of God, stay focussed on God. Don’t act in ignorance. I assure you He will come through for you. I bless you in the name of the Lord.

Let Us Care For One Another.

Posted on June 21, 2015 by Prayer

“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends

INTRODUCTION:

All the children of God need to care for one another. This is what the Lord Jesus Christ expects from every one of us. By this shall all men know that we are His.

1 John 4:8

[There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love ]

James.5:16

“Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”

By loving one another.

John 13:35

“By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.”

By Giving Good Things To One Another.

Matthew 6:3-8

By Visiting One Another.

Matthew 25:34-40.

“ Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 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 my brethren, ye have done it unto me ”

By Encouraging One Another To Stand In Faith.

Colossians 3:16

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”

CONCLUSION:

It is the Lord’s command that we should love one another and care for one another. This is a sign that we are His true disciples.

Shoichi Yokoi was a Japanese soldier who fought in the Second World War. That war, of course, ended in 1945, but no one told Shoichi.

This Japanese soldier sensed the change in the war in 1944, when the Allied forces began to get the upper hand in the South Pacific combat. He sought refuge in a cave on the island of Guam. He was afraid that, if captured, he would be immediately executed by Allied Commandos.

28 years later Shoichi Yokoi was still living in that cave from which he emerged only in the dark of night. His diet consisted of creatures such as frogs and rats, along with nuts and mangos. By this time he’d figured out that the war must be over. He’d seen leaflets scattered through the jungle. Yet still he feared for his life and continued to hide.

John_8-32: And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Finally, he was found by two hunters who convinced the Japanese soldier that he was safe and they helped him emerge from hiding. Soon, he was free with better clothes to wear, a much more varied and appealing diet, and the comforts of home and friends. All advantages he might have enjoyed for most of the last three decades.

Sadly, too many Christians live like that old soldier, hiding in the darkness when they can live in all the joy and abundance that Christ offers us. A new kind of life really is available to those who know and seek God.

Do you know God’s joy? You cannot manufacture joy within yourself. It comes from God even in the midst of the challenges of real life. Today, seek God’s face, because joy only comes from an intimate relationship with him.

John 10:10; John 15:4-11; Phil. 3:1

Because God is a Personal Spirit, I will seek intimate fellowship with him.

Eyes Of Faith

Posted on June 20, 2015 by Prayer

Psalms_1-3: And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper

Habakkuk 2:2 (KJV): “And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.”

‘Physical sight‘ is the ability to see things as they are…whereby ‘vision’ is the capacity to see things as they could be.

In our lives, we need to learn to live by vision and see things and life with the eyes of faith. We need to get vision from God; Make A Plan; Trust Him; And Speak That Vision Into Existence.

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap

Posted on June 20, 2015 by Prayer

Romans_6-23: For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

Galatians 6:7, NKJV

Satan never mentions the consequences of sin. He never mentions the psychological trauma that follows an abortion. He never mentions the dirty feeling of being used after sleeping with your date that haunts your marriage relationship years later. He never mentions the panic and fear that grip you every time you answer the phone after cheating on your tax return. There are serious consequences to sin. Always. Without exception. Adam ate the forbidden fruit his wife had offered, “Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked” (Gen. 3:7, NIV).

Satan had told Eve her eyes would be opened and she would be like God, knowing good and evil. In one sense he had been right. Eve’s eyes were opened, but in a grotesque way. She knew good, but also that she was separated from it. She knew evil because now she was saturated in it. She knew good and evil in a way God never intended her to know — through her own experience. And she was deeply ashamed.

How Not To Be Selfish

Posted on June 20, 2015 by Prayer

But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ

2 Corinthians 8:24

“Therefore show to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love and of our boasting on your behalf.”

NKJV

The world says ‘get, get, get‘ and you will find great contentment. It’s also been said that we live in a ‘dog eat dog world‘ where we need to look out for number one. I know people that have a lot but if they don’t share with others, they can be selfish and be really miserable. The reality is that selfishness leads to misery. The Bible and God want to teach us how not to be selfish. As you are blessed, part of experiencing all the blessings of the Lord is sharing them with others. When you receive something, you want to call someone or give part of it to them. Whether it’s sharing an incredible dish of food with them or blessing them with an extra ticket for a movie, we are blessed when we are generous. The moment you give to someone there is an immediate blessing in that – you can sense it, and you can feel it. God created a heart in us to share ourselves and be a blessing – to live generously.

You can be happy with less if you are being a blessing to others. No matter how much you have, you will be miserable with a lot when you are not a blessing to others. Jesus spent a lot of time teaching on the subject of money, knowing if you got this right; it would lead to more and more blessings. Get this one wrong and no matter what else you do, you will be miserable. You can be saved but if you are selfish, you will be unhappy.

You are created with an unquenchable desire to be a blessing to others.

Prayer:

Dear God,

Thank You for the blessings You have given me. Even this morning, I woke up with air in my lungs and my heart beating. Help me to have an attitude of gratitude for all that I have. Also, give me the strength and wisdom to live a generous life. Help me to be more like You. In Jesus Christ Name I pray, Amen.

What Christ Wants From You. God’s Goal

Posted on June 18, 2015 by Prayer

Matthew_28-19-3: Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost

. . . teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. (Matthew 28:20)

Matthew_9-37: Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few

Being a disciple of Jesus Christ is a lot different than just going to church once or twice a week. To get excited because the preacher moved you and the choir inspired you is nice, but that’s not spiritual growth. To enjoy fellowship with your friends is a wonderful part of the Christian life, but it in and of itself is not discipleship.

John_13-35: By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

The goal and the cornerstone of your activity, that which brings God the most glory, is for you to become a Disciple. God’s goal is not salvation; that is just the introduction to God’s goal. His desire is that those who are saved become disciples.

It is not enough simply to say: “I’m on my way to heaven.” The issue is, are you becoming like the One who is taking you to heaven? That’s discipleship, and that’s what Christ wants from you.

Discipleship is that developmental process that progressively brings Christians from Spiritual Infancy to Spiritual Maturity so that they are then able to reproduce the process with someone else. The singular, overarching goal of a disciple is to bring all of life under the lordship of Jesus Christ and then help someone else to do the same.

Notice that this brings discipleship around full circle. Disciples are to turn around and make other disciples. Ultimately, that’s how you fulfill the mandate of Matthew 28:18–20. Whether that be at home in your relationships, at work, in Church, through mentoring or volunteering at the local public school, or in a variety of ways—your life ought to be about discipling others to become more like Jesus Christ. That Is Your Highest Calling And Purpose.

Rather Than Complaining And Murmuring, Start Thanking God For Your Victory In Christ Jesus

Posted on June 18, 2015 by Prayer

Ephesians_5-20: Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

“Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord”; Ephesians 5:19

The reason why God wants us to speak to ourselves in Psalms and hymns and spiritual songs is because when you begin to do so, it creates in you a positive mentality and motivates you to begin to give thanks because you already know the outcome. Rather than complain and murmur, you start thanking God because some how you will begin to see the picture of victory. David said the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want; it’s a new day, I will not want because this is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it. reason it seems as if things are falling apart is because you are seeing the wrong picture; things always have two sides but the beautiful thing is that God’s own side will always be superimposed on the wrong side, when you lay hold on it. What you are saying about yourself is not a lie but the truth and the truth will always overrule the fact. Jesus who is the truth can’t fail. I challenge you therefore from today to wake every morning and create your world.

God is not a man that He should lie, has He said it and shall He not do it, has he spoken and shall He not bring it to pass? Every word that has been prophesied over your life for good, no matter how seemingly impossible they are, I declare that they shall come to pass. Beginning from today, every day of your life will give you a testimony. No one will take your song. God brought you out to bring you into the promised land. There is a “there” for you in God. The fact that you made a declaration yesterday and the day was the worst ever should not stop you from speaking into your world today. The word works, but you have to be consistent. The devil will want to paint a picture to you that the words you spoke yesterday did not come to pass, don’t listen to him, keep speaking because you will soon see the result.

My Father! Happy Father’s Day, Dad

Posted on June 18, 2015 by Prayer

Proverbs_22-6: Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it

My father taught me so many things, like how to ride my first bike. He gave me my first driving lesson and taught me how to play tennis, and study. He also taught me lessons that are harder to measure and put into words:

How to believe in myself,

Be happy and deal with life’s challenges.

Exodus_20-12: King James Bible Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee

You Are What You Do, Not What You Say You’ll Do. Don’t be a big talker; let your actions speak for you. Don’t make empty promises and follow through on your words.

If You Want To Achieve Greatness, Stop Asking For Permission. You have a special inner strength to live your life without constantly looking for the approval of those around you. You don’t need anyone else’s permission to achieve your dreams.

Know How To Be Your Own Best Friend. Friends are crucial and close family connections are blessings, but there will be times in life when it seems like no one can understand you or give you the support you need. Sometimes you will need to help and encourage yourself. And that’s okay.

Look In The Mirror. That’s Your Competition. Don’t compare yourself to others. Work on improving yourself. Be better than you were yesterday.

It’s Not Going To Be Easy But It’s Going To Be Worth It. Work Hard. Overcome obstacles. Stay focused on your goals.

If You Ever Find Yourself In The Wrong Story, Move. Don’t Stay In Situations That Aren’t Right For You. Don’t let your life become a place where you aren’t happy. Stay away from negative people and unhealthy environments. Be proactive. Write your own story.

Thank you, Dad for all that you have taught me and continue to teach me each day. Happy Father’s Day!

Be Careful Little Lips What You Say

Posted on June 18, 2015 by Prayer

Proverbs_21-23: Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles

In the multitude of words, sin is not lacking, but he who restrains his lips is wise.

Proverbs 10:19

This verse is clear and to the point, and could be used as a filter before we open our mouths.

If you often find yourself “in a multitude of words,” do a quick check to be sure you are pleasing the Father in what you are saying. If your words are untruthful, mean spirited, or damaging to someone else, then the second part of this verse should be implemented – restraint. If you have to question whether or not you should say it, then you probably shouldn’t. If you have to ask forgiveness after you say it, then you should probably keep it to yourself.

It reminds me of a song I learned in Sunday School. “Oh be careful little lips what you say. For the Father up above is looking down in love, so be careful little lips what you say.”

As my Dad always said, “When in doubt…don’t!”
