Prerequisite
“Year after year it was the same—Peninnah would taunt Hannah as they went to the Tabernacle. Each time, Hannah would be reduced to tears and would not even eat” 1Sam.1:7
Samuel was a child that came from holding God’s hand and asking of the Lord. In fact Samuel is a product of help from heaven. Hannah had to endure the pain of not having children for several years. For some of us, it is not the pain of not having physical children but we are going through a painful situation that has lingered for Read the rest of this entry
Inspite Of The Pain
“Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow” James 1:2-3
Honestly, when I am facing challenges except I remember this Scripture I naturally do not count it as joy. I typically would pray, “Lord, what is going on here? Help me”. But Paul is challenging us to our core that you can be in pain and you can be on purpose. You can be waiting for a promise and you can still be fulfilling God’s purpose for your life. For a lot of us, Read the rest of this entry
Eternal Affairs
“Live wisely among those who are not believers, and make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for everyone” Col.4:5-6 [emphasis added]
“And say to Archippus, “Be sure to carry out the ministry the Lord gave you” Col.4:7 [emphasis added]. For a lot of us when we see such scriptures we believe that God is speaking only to Pastors. That is far from the truth because we all have a ministry given to us by God. Everybody has a ministry. If you are a business man that is a ministry God has given you. If Read the rest of this entry
Heart Check II
‘But God removed Saul and replaced him with David, a man about whom God said, ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart. He will do everything I want him to do’ Acts 13:22.
He was just a shepherd boy when God said to Saul ‘‘But now your kingdom must end, for the Lord has sought out a man after his own heart. The Lord has already appointed him to be the leader of his people, because you have not kept the Lord’s command’ 1Sam.13:14. God said about David, “I have found David, He is a man after My heart’. Wow! David’s heart is committed to God, totally committed to God.
A Message For You II
‘Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life. Avoid all perverse talk; stay away from corrupt speech. Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on that lies before you’ Prov.4:23-25.
The Holy Spirit’s second message for you is you need to develop a thick skin and a soft heart. Pain is inevitable. You will hurt and I assure you that you will hurt badly but don’t get hardened. Learn to develop a thick skin and a soft heart and not the converse. The typical thing for many people is they go through things and develop a hard heart and a thin skin. With a thin skin, they get irritated at the slightest thing. They are suspicious of everybody, even the people that mean well. They a hard heart Read the rest of this entry
Are You Offended?
‘My God sent his angel to shut the lions’ mouths so that they would not hurt me, for I have been found innocent in his sight. And I have not wronged you, Your majesty’ Dan.6:22
For some of us the very thing that is off setting our vertical peace is an offence in our hearts. You are offended at God and you are fighting with God because by your own estimation God should have done better. For example, a lady said ‘God if I were you, I would have sorted out this problem. What is all this delay? God if it were You asking me to do this, I would have done it for You. If You were the one begging me, I would have answered you’. God likes 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
