What Are You Doing?
‘The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none’ Deut.28:12 [NIV].
The fourth thing you have to reinforce or learn is God will bless the works of your hands. In other words, it is only the works of your hands that God will bless. God will not bless the dreams of your mind that have not translated into work. Some people are super dreamers, always dreaming. It is good to have a very big vision; it is better to just start something. You know why? It is because God will only bless the works of your hands. Read the rest of this entry
Keep Your Flock
‘But David persisted. “I have been taking care of my father’s sheep and goats,” he said. “When a lion or a bear comes to steal a lamb from the flock, I go after it with a club and rescue the lamb from its mouth…’ 1Sam.17:34-35
The key to the shepherds experiencing glory was in minding their business [Luke 2:8-9]. When you mind your business, then heaven is able to trust you with new business [Luke 16:10]. ‘So an elder must be a man whose life is above reproach. He must be faithful to his wife. He must exercise self-control, live wisely, and have a good reputation. He must enjoy having guests in his home, and he must be able to teach. He must not be a heavy drinker or be violent. He must be gentle, not quarrelsome, and not love money. He must manage his own family well, having children who respect and obey him. For if a man cannot manage his own household, how can he take care of God’s church?’ [1Tim.3:2-5]. Read the rest of this entry
Your Business
‘And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them…’ Luke 2:8-9 [KJV].
My grandmother would say, “You cannot be looking at another person’s wristwatch to determine the timing of your own life”. Everybody has his or her own timing. Which brings us to the third thing that you and I have to reinforce or learn. Your job is to mind your own business. It is wisdom to mind your own business. God is going to be doing amazing things around you. Thank God for what He is doing but focus on your own because Read the rest of this entry
More Than Enough
‘However, we don’t want to offend them, so go down to the lake and throw in a line. Open the mouth of the first fish you catch, and you will find a large silver coin. Take it and pay the tax for both of us” Matt.17:27.
Live each day confident that God has already provided. It is not when God asks you to sacrifice that He begins to look for bread for you to eat. Have you not heard? He provides seed for the sower and bread for the eater? [2Cor.9:10]. If God says He has made resources available to you then be confident whether you can see them or not. Just know that this situation is not taking God unawares. I may not have the resources but I know God Read the rest of this entry
Seed and Bread
‘Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise’ Heb.10:23.
Everyone that walks with God must necessarily go through storms. Even David had to speak to himself and query his heart. ‘Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? Hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance’ Ps.42:5 [KJV]. Have you ever come to God and He turned you back because He was too tired? Have you ever placed a demand on heaven and the response came Read the rest of this entry
Expect Settlement
‘He drove out the nations before them; he gave them their inheritance by lot. He settled the tribes of Israel into their homes’ Ps.78:55.
God’s Word about establishment is true today as it was in time past. A lot of times when we receive a new Word, we forget about the promises before it. It is important to remember that as long as you hold on to a promise, God will bring it to pass. So if you are still looking to God for establishment in certain areas then be most assured that He will establish you. As 2014 expires, remember His promises in time past and be Read the rest of this entry
Not Without Faith
‘And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him’ Heb.11:6.
Faith is the number one pleasing factor when it comes to relating with God. Without faith in your heart you cannot please God. While man looks on the outward appearance and might be fooled by lip service, God looks to your heart. And when He looks and does not find faith then we are not pleasing to Him. But you will please God because you will have faith. You need to constantly hear God to know how to go about pleasing Him at Read the rest of this entry
Walking with God
‘I will set My dwelling in and among you, and My soul shall not despise or reject or separate itself from you. And I will walk in and with and among you and will be your God, and you shall be My people’ Lev. 26:11-12.
God wants to have a relationship with you. Through Jesus, He established a more personal relationship with us were we can talk to Him personally and not through a priest. Walking with God requires two things; agreeing with God and pleasing God.
Agreement: Walking with God requires an agreement [Amos 3:3]. You must ask yourself truthfully, are you in Read the rest of this entry
Healing Word
‘Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light’ Matt.11:28-30 [KJV].
Today, God’s Word for you is ‘Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light’ Matt.11:28-30 [KJV]. Jesus the Son of the Living God is saying come and He will give you rest. Those of us that need to have children or more children, I see you Read the rest of this entry
Potent Word
‘It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it’ Isa.55:11
Once God speaks, His Word has enough in itself to bring to pass what has been spoken. I am sure that you have begun to hear God speak concerning your situation already. God’s Word is potent. My advice, is take God at His Word. If God says you will eat bread without scarcity, then believe that you will indeed eat bread without scarcity. It is that simple. Many times we want God to touch us but God is speaking to us. Many times Read the rest of this entry
