Can God Count on You?

Can God Count on You?

 

 

 

I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept
my word, and hast not denied my name. Behold, I will make them of
the synagogue of satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do
lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet,
and to know that I have loved thee.

Revelation 3:8-9

The church at Philadelphia is going to have manifestations of God. Man
cannot stop what God is going to do. Those going the wrong way, those
going the false way, are going to come, see and know that God’s hand is
on them. God said, “I am going to put them right at your feet.” This is
an Overcoming Church. This is a Word Church, a Faithful Church, and a
True Church.

Faithfulness is the character quality that ensures that you do the
right thing, whether anyone is watching you or not, whether anyone is
keeping tabs or not. When you are faithful, you do it with the right
motive, and you can be counted on all the time. Everybody in the body
of Christ likes people who are faithful, especially pastors. I know
that I can give the faithful something to do and don’t have to think
about it anymore!

John goes on to say that those who remain faithful will have a crown.
Those who are overcomers will be “pillar[s] in the temple of my God”
(v. 12). They will have all the authority that Jesus has.

Prayer for Today

Father,
I raise my hands in recognition that You alone are worthy! I praise You
and give You glory! Through Your power, I will be faithful to You, no
matter what comes! In Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

Think on These Things

Colossians 4:3

Philippians 4:13

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!

Remember God!

Deuteronomy 8:18, Thou shalt remember the Lord...

Remember God!

Deuteronomy 8:10-14 says:

 

 

 ”When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the Lord thy God for the good land which He hath given thee. Beware that thou forget not the Lord thy God, in not keeping His commandments, and His judgments, and His statutes, which I command thee this day. Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein; and when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied; then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the Lord thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.”

There are people who forget God, but you are not like that. You remember the way of transgression; you remember that it was a way of hardness, loneliness, brokenness, and discouragement. Now you are the blessed of the Lord. You have been touched by God. You have been bought with a price. You are stamped with His approval. His hand is upon you. He loves you. His ears are open to your prayers, and His eyes are upon your life. You can do no less than to remember God in all that you have and in all the ways that you walk.

Remember God!

 

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!

Though Your Beginning Was Small, Yet Your Latter End Should Greatly Increase

Resurrection of Christ

Though Your Beginning Was Small, Yet Your Latter End Should Greatly Increase

Small Beginnings


If thou wert pure and of right, surely now He would awake for thee
and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous. Though thy
beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase

Job 8:6-7

Some people hear a message on divine prosperity and believe that God
promises this to believers. However, they respond: “Pastor, I come from
a poor family. All I can really hope is that one day I get out of debt.
I’m never going to reach a point of abundance, however, because I have
too far to go.”

Naturally speaking, it seems wise not to get your hopes up. But God
doesn’t care where your starting point is! Job’s friend told him that
if he turned toward God and lived right before God, God would cause his
house to greatly increase and be prosperous. This is true for you, too!

It doesn’t matter where you start from. It just matters whom you hook
up with. According to God’s system and God’s Word, if you stay with God
and do what He tells you to do, your end will be much greater than your
beginning.

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!

Whoever is faithful in small matters will be faithful in large ones; whoever is dishonest in small matters will be dishonest in large ones
Luke 16:10

Faithful in Least, Faithful in Much

This Scripture doesn’t say, “He that is not faithful.” It says, “He
that is unjust.” If you are not faithful, you are unjust.

God is not going to give you a bonus if you are mishandling what He has
already given you. Many people are living in houses they should not be
living in, driving cars they should not be driving, and wearing clothes
they should not be wearing. They are trying to look prosperous or be
prosperous, but they are doing it the natural way instead of doing it
through the power of God.

If you are working two and three jobs to keep up the appearance of
prosperity, you need to downsize. If you are not being a good steward
over the goods God has given you now, you are preventing God from
making you rich.

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!

God’s ways are truly higher than ours.

Isaiah 55:8-9 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.”

There are times in our lives where we know that we know that God wants us to do something, yet our flesh kicks against it with all its might. Sometimes we do what God wants us to do, yet we feel remorse in our hearts because it just doesn’t make sense in the natural. This is where we need to guard our hearts and always remember this scripture. His ways are truly higher than ours, and in the end, God always have our best interest at heart. You may not understand it now, but trust and obey Him and feed on His faithfulness.

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!

God Loves It When You Prosper

God Loves It When You Prosper!


Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause:
yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath
pleasure in the prosperity of his servant

Psalm 35:27

You may be starting to see that God would allow you to prosper, but you
need to take another step and realize that God is pleased when you
prosper. He enjoys it! You’re His child!

A friend began to speak that the Lord takes pleasure in the prosperity
of His servant over his life, substituting his name for “servant.” He
reported, “I said it all day and all night, and before long the light
came on. God takes pleasure in my prosperity!”

If you’re having a hard time grasping that God wants you to have
abundance, speak this truth over your life every day. The light will
come on, and when it does, the devil had better watch out!

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!

God Chose You Too

4 days of Evangelism Training in Southern Cali...

4 days of Evangelism Training in Southern California provided by LivingWaters Ministry. Obeying the great commission of Jesus Christ. "Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to everyone" Mark 16:15 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

God Chose You Too…

Psalm 78:70“He also chose David His servant, and took him from the sheepfolds;”

David was known as a man after God’s own heart. It’s no secret that God loved David dearly. Although he wasn’t always perfect, God saw what was on the inside and carried David to greatness. Great news….did you know that God also chose you?

You’ve been on God’s radar since the day you were created and he had you in mind when Jesus went to the cross. Just like David, you too weren’t created to live a mundane or trivial life. You were created to do extraordinary things! The dreams God has placed in your heart aren’t meant to be entertaining thoughts. They’re meant to be your reality. He’s given you the ability to do some incredible things. The only requirement is that you act upon His calling.

To those around Him, David was a small, shepherd boy. He wasn’t a fierce warrior and he certainly wasn’t a King. Yet their reality wasn’t God’s reality. Who they dubbed David to be wasn’t who God dubbed him to be, and when God called he answered.

God didn’t just choose David, He also chose you. He placed in you the desire and hunger to accomplish more than others expect from you. Stop believing you were meant to remain in the pasture. Our God is one of opportunity, not of routine. Look up and start looking out because God chose you too.

 

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!

Be still and know that I am God

Enter that place of rest.

Psalm 46:10 “Be still and know that I am God”

Silence enables us to experience the kind of intimacy with God we so desperately long for. But it requires a deliberate choice to become quiet. Inside each of us there is a place of silence, and only we know when we are in that place of rest. I challenge you to become still before God, to enter that place of rest.

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!

God is in our midst

Stained glass at St John the Baptist's Anglica...

God is in our midst.

Zephaniah 3:17 “The Lord your God in your midst, the Mighty One will save. He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.”

This goes along with Heb 13:5 “….I will never leave you nor forsake you”, God is in your midst. He is with you every step you take! He is with you in all that you do, you are never alone. He is your friend, comforter and helper in time of need. Call on Him today, in whatever circumstance you find yourself in, He is right there. He will rejoice with you in victories won and will be your strength in victories still to be won.

May Our God The Almighty prosper Nigeria and Israel and defend us from all our enemies in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!
