Living Waters
‘Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled’ Matt.5:6 [NIV].
The Word of God says, ‘the blessings of the Lord makes rich and adds no sorrow’. But the world is trying to turn it around to read ‘the riches of the world makes blessed and add no sorrow’. Jesus is saying to us that blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they will be filled. You may be reading this today and your soul is hungry and your heart is thirsty and you feel this seemingly insatiable longing for something. The feeling is just there and it is constantly nagging. Sometimes when we encounter Read the rest of this entry
One Response
‘I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together’ Ps.34:1-3 [KJV]
I say to people, you don’t know why I love Jesus the way I love Jesus. You don’t know what He delivered me from. If you knew, you would join me and praise God. There is truly only one response when you are about to go through the night. You know that blessed are they that mourn for they will be comforted. You know that even though you are about to go through the night, the day is coming. Maybe they have told you to resign your job or you have lost a business. You know you are about to go though this night but guess Read the rest of this entry
New Chapter
‘…Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning’ Ps.30:5 [KJV].
Grieving births rejoicing, you need to believe that and rejoicing will begin in your life in the Name of Jesus. Scientists tell us that pain is necessary for healing. They say that pain is actually a signal that your antibodies should send forces to that area to fight and bring about healing. Unfortunately, we have people that want to stay in a consistent sedated state of taking painkillers. People resort to using several things to numb their pain because even though they have refused to let the pain go, they do not want to feel the pain. Read the rest of this entry
Blessedness of Mourning II
‘Blessed and enviably happy [with a happiness produced by the experience of God’s favour and especially conditioned by the revelation of His matchless grace] are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted!’ Matt.5:4 [AMP]
Grieving births rejoicing. It is difficult to enjoy and value and be really grateful for wealth if you have not tasted poverty. People of God, I have tasted poverty a little, I cannot claim to have tasted a lot and I have tasted wealth a little, I cannot claim to have tasted a lot. But I know that one is better than the other. Don’t be deceived by people who tell you that you should not trust God for wealth. Let them taste poverty and their opinions will change totally. I do not dispute that there have been abuses of prosperity teachings. My Read the rest of this entry
Blessedness of Mourning I
‘Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted’ Matt.5:4 [NIV].
The first blessing in mourning/grieving is comfort, the sweet comfort of the Holy Spirit. Maybe you are grieving because you are currently experiencing a season of lack. Or maybe you are grieving because there is a promise you are trusting God for and it is so excruciating waiting for it. Whatever reason you may be grieving for, comfort is coming your way by the ministry of the Holy Spirit and of believers.
Let God Lead You
‘Thus says the Lord: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, Whose heart departs from the Lord.’ Jer.17:5
The fifth thing that causes us grief, which is also unnecessary, is when we trust in man rather than in God. ‘Thus says the Lord: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man And makes flesh his strength, Whose heart departs from the Lord. For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, And shall not see when good comes, But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, In a salt land which is not inhabited’ Jer.17:5-6. In other words, the person will be looking in one direction-unto man and good will be coming Read the rest of this entry
It Must Be Now
‘Thou shall arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea the set time, is come’ Ps.102:13 [KJV]
As believers we must know that with God there is a set time for everything. The Bible lets us understand that even before we were formed, God had a plan. ‘To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven’ Ecc.3:1 [KJV]. The children of Israel had a season of response; the set time for them had come to enter into God’s Promised Land. But they hesitated and told God they were unable to enter the land because of the giants and the season of response passed. Although they came back a Read the rest of this entry
Comfort Is Here!
‘So you have sorrow now, but I will see you again; then you will rejoice, and no one can rob you of that joy’ John 16:22
No one grieves without reason; everybody grieves for a reason. If you see anyone grieving without a reason then something is wrong. But beyond that, why exactly do people grieve? The first reason why people grieve is mainly because of a loss. The second reason why we grieve is for our sins and for the sins of other people. Isaiah was one prophet who went around declaring woe to everyone. But when God opened his eyes and he saw himself for the way he really was, that same Isaiah declared ‘woe is me for I Read the rest of this entry
Pay Attention
‘Sorrow is better than laughter, for sadness has a refining influence on us’ Ecc.7:3
When you weigh everything that is really bothering you in light of eternity what does it amount to? If you check a funeral suit, there are no pockets because you cannot take your wallet with you. Your mobile phone someone else is going to use it. And who ever insists on being buried dressed in gold or with precious stones so they can bribe the angels on the way because some people think like that. After they have put them in the ground, that same night the people that will exhume the body and collect the jewelry are Read the rest of this entry
Cleansing Effect
‘Better to spend your time at funerals than at parties. After all, everyone dies- so the living should take this to heart. Sorrow is better than laughter, for sadness has a refining influence on us’ Ecc.7:2-3
God is saying if you have two invitations, one to a funeral and the other to a wedding, then set the invitation to the funeral above that of the wedding. You will be instructed more if you go to the funeral. I struggled with this for a long time as a person because I just don’t like seeing people suffer. It crushes me and I am not able to bear it. Visiting the sick in the hospital is not my ministry but there are some people who are gifted to see people whose legs are suspended and they are fine. I cannot stand it at least for now. I Read the rest of this entry
