No More Worries And Fears! Because Jesus Loves Me
Matthew_10-30: But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
But make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will defend yourselves.
Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.
For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.
I keep my eyes always on the LORD. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken..
Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings
He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.
I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the LORD.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding
There you saw how the LORD your God carried you, as a father carries his son, all the way you went until you reached this place.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.”
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.
Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.
What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Know also that wisdom is like honey for you: If you find it, there is a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.
I prayed to the LORD, and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears. Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces. In my desperation I prayed, and the LORD listened; he saved me from all my troubles. For the angel of the LORD is a guard; he surrounds and defends all who fear him.
Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you. Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your Christian brothers and sisters all over the world are going through the same kind of suffering you are. In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation.
As for God, his way is perfect: The LORD’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him.
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
“The LORD is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him.
We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.
The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
As for God, his way is perfect: The LORD’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him.
Are God’s consolations not enough for you, words spoken gently to you?
The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. The righteous person may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all.
Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.
They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.
For the word of the LORD is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love.
John_10-11: I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

Therefore take no thought, saying, what shall we eat? Or, what shall we drink? Or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed
MATTHEW 6:25-34
Jesus is commanding us not to worry or be anxious about our material needs being met. It would be impossible to have no thought whatsoever about our physical needs. Even Jesus thought about His need for money to pay taxes (Mt. 17:24-27). We are simply not to be preoccupied with thinking about riches or spending our time worrying about necessities. These things will be added unto us as we seek first the Kingdom of God.
The way we take or receive an anxious thought is by speaking it. Doubtful thoughts will come, but we do not sin until we entertain them. According to this verse, speaking forth these thoughts is one way of entertaining them; therefore, don’t speak forth these negative thoughts.
It is imperative that we watch the words we say. Begin to speak words in faith that line up with God’s Word, then positive results will follow. If we speak words of doubt, we will eventually believe them and have the negative things that these words produce. There are no such things as “idle” words which will not work for or against us. Death or life is in the power of every word we speak (Prov. 18:21). Our words can be our most powerful weapon against the devil, or they can become a snare of the devil (Prov. 6:2).
Today watch your words. Speak only things that will express your faith, trust, and confidence in the Lord and not your fear about the situations you face.
May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the Lord lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

Do Not Worry
Luke 12:22 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life…”
Have you ever had a big moment clouded by some unexpected
circumstance? Everything you planned ahead about and were excited to share was overshadowed by one new stress after the other.
It’s like one minute the seas are calm, the next it’s the fifty year storm. In times like these it can be difficult to keep a level head.
Often we’re filled with frustration and anger and don’t know where to turn. Although it isn’t the easiest thing to do, this verse is spot on. Worry won’t bring us a better situation, it will only worsen our circumstances.
God commands us not to worry because He wants us to trust Him fully. He wants our attention not our worries. When life throws you a curveball don’t retreat, re-adjust.
Recognize that God is still in control and He wasn’t the least bit surprised by your situation. Think about it like this…
Have you ever heard an actor after winning an Oscar go on to thank worry? How about an athlete after winning a championship? Probably not, right?
That’s because worry won’t ever solve your problems. God knew this from the beginning and set out to keep us from falling into its trap. If you’ve been struggling to find peace, check your mind for worry and let go of it. Your best days are still in front of you. Trust God and ask Him for His guidance and He will not abandon you.
May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the Lord lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

Worry Changes nothing
Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? Matthew 6:26-27
Let’s make a list—“The Advantages of Anxiety”
Let’s start our list with worry helps our health. Lose sleep and live longer. A nervous stomach is a happy stomach, isn’t it?
We can even plan days of worry.
Monday—stress over the economy
Tuesday—list the reasons we could be unemployed by year end.
Let’s face it! Worry has no advantages. It ruins health, robs joy, and changes nothing! Our days stand no chance against the terrorists of the “Land of Anxiety.” But Christ offers a worry-bazooka.
Remember how he taught us to pray? “Give us this day our daily bread.” Worry doesn’t empty tomorrow of its sorrows; it empties today of its strength. Live one day at a time. Make it a day changer! God’s Word says: “He will take care of everything you need!”
Choose to make every day a great day!

MOTHER DUCK
Read: Luke 12:22-23
“Let not
your heart be troubled, you believe in God, believe in Me also.” (John 14:1)
If you are acquainted
with nursery rhymes, you probably would have come across one titled “Mother Duck”.
It is a
story of a mother duck who went out with her ten ducklings. Each time the
mother duck said “quack, quack” she lost one of her ducklings. On each outing the
mother duck kept relating the legendary “quack, quack” and she kept losing one
duckling until on the last outing, no duckling returned and mother duck was
left alone.
It may sound
amusing but to me the mother duck symbolizes mothers who love to fret in
superlative measures. The “quack, quack” stands for the incessant worries,
agitations and irritabilities that such mothers characteristically engage in. some
of the worries are often uncalled for and the more they worry the more they
lose their peace until they become hypertensive.
Read this
story twice and determine to avoid the mother-duck syndrome.
Even men
sometimes succumb to this attitude. Jesus has come to give you peace! When you
worry, you lose all. When you trust God in spite of turbulent “quack, quack”
situations, you win solid victories in life’s hardest battles.
Trust And Obey, For
There Is No Other Way To Be Happy In Jesus, But To Trust And Obey!
May Our God The
Almighty prosper Nigeria and Israel and defend us from all our enemies in Jesus
Christ Name, Amen!

When your
alarm clock goes off in the morning do you wish you could just stay in bed? Do
your struggles and responsibilities weigh you down with frustration, boredom or
hopeless? If these sentiments describe the way you feel about life, then you
are not enjoying the fullness of life that Christ offers. He is not only our
saviour but also our burden-bearer. God wants you to have a much better life –
one that you enjoy! God will give you the ability to enjoy life, no matter what.
Here’s how you can enjoy your life
Notice God’s
gifts and thank Him for them. Make it a daily practice to thank God for each
new day when you wake up from bed.
Throughout
the day, keep your mind on the good things in your life for which you’re
grateful. Don’t forget to acknowledge basic blessings such as your ability to
breathe, eat or smile.
Turn your
worries into prayers. Whenever a worry enters your mind, find a promise of God
that responds to it and turn it into prayer point. Know that worry can’t accomplish
anything good, but faith in the LORD has great power, since nothing is
impossible with God!
Be specific
as you share your concern with God and trust Him to answer your prayers in the
right way at the right time.
Look for
fulfilment in the right place. Stop looking for true and lasting satisfaction
in the wrong places, such as through your work, personal pleasure or
accumulation of knowledge or material possessions. Realize that only God can
provide the fulfilment you seek. Make a strong relationship with Him your top
priority.
Prayer: Lord, I celebrate your
goodness in my life and thank You for Your mercies! Amen!
Psalm 63:1-11.
