“This is a Revelation Knowledge for your benefit and others, on how God’s ways are so supreme and contemporary above all undeniable facts that He is omnipotent, and omniscient.
This factor of His presence is so impartial to His dominion over the male or female gender – that all are acceptable in His sight – He made male and female equally shared, of His Kingdom come living here on this earth. For His love far outweighs anything man or woman could ever imagine.
Therefore be of good cheer, for the Lord is good and His mercy endures forever, and He will do the impossible!
Know, believe, trust and receive ALL that I’ve told you, even though it looks like an impossibility, I am the God of creation’s impossibilities, and I can do for you the impossible to the eye, to be founded and confounded for all to be eyewitnesses of the most profound and exciting news for you and your family. No longer devastation, but reprieval and restoration of all that’s missing from your lives of the clan of My environment.”

God's Love and Mercy
ST. JOHN 3:16 KJV “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Jesus! He gave us His son Jesus. Can you imagine that for one moment? Anyone who is a parent knows just what an act of mercy that would be! I can remember the anguish I felt as a parent, dropping off my child at preschool for the first time, having to leave her there for the day! I simply cannot imagine how it felt for God to have to watch His precious Son die on that cross, all so that we would not perish but have eternal life! Hallelujah!
What a gift to us! It is something we must never take for granted. Praise be to God the Father in Heaven! His promise is to a thousand generations! Psalm 105:7-8 RSV “He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth. He is mindful of his covenant for ever, of the word that he commanded, for a thousand generations...”
God in His great wisdom knew that the only way for us to be saved would be if He allowed His Son Jesus to die for our sins. Our sins could not go unpunished therefore Jesus bore them in His own body by the many lashings He dutifully received on our behalf. Isaiah 53:4-5 RSV “Surely he has borne our griefs and carried away our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that made us whole, and with his stripes we are healed.”
Jesus faithfully and obediently allowed Himself to be delivered up to the authorities like a lamb to the slaughter! All so that we could have life abundantly! All so that we could be free of sicknesses and infirmities. All so that we could have life everlasting! Isaiah 53:7-9 RSV “He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth. By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people? And they made his grave with the wicked and with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth.”
Let’s all take a moment to bow our heads in reverence for the Lord God Almighty, who has made it possible for us to live our lives, covered and protected by His unending love, grace and mercy! Amen.
PS Psalm 100:1-5 KJV “Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the LORD he is God; it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gate with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise; be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.” AMEN!
All glory for these words as always goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Praise be to God! Amen.

His ways are above ours and His wisdom is not of this world! These are the days of the fulfilment of His many promises to you! This is the beginning of the end of the evil one! Amen!
I run to the hills and cry out your name, oh mighty one of Israel! It is you Lord, who hears and answers my prayers! For the God of our ancestors is the same and mighty God before us today! He is the way, the truth and the life!
He is the way forward for us to reach potentials in this life that we have never dreamed of! He has given you so much already and He is waiting to give you so much more!

And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd.” Praise be to God, Amen!

A Life of Miracles
The wonderful thing about life in God’s Kingdom is that you will be witness to many miraculous occurrences all around you. Your life will never be the same as it was prior to you coming into the Kingdom! The Kingdom of Heaven can be experienced on Earth! Why wait until you get there when you can have it all here! Matthew 6:10 NKJV “Your Kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”
One of the things to remember is to always seek the Lord God Almighty in everything you do. This will put God in charge and bring your will into line with His perfect will. Matthew 6:33 NKJV “But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”
One of the best ways to serve the King is to claim what’s rightfully yours! The Lord wants us all to receive everything that He has planned for us for our lives! He wants you to be fulfilled. He wants you to prosper. He is a God who delights in our prosperity! Psalm 35:27 NKJV “Let the LORD be magnified, who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.”
It is our birthright to receive these blessings, and it is our responsibility to make sure the devil doesn’t steal them from us. He would like nothing more than for you to miss out on your inheritance. 1 Peter 5:8 NKJV “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.”
When we come to realise who we are in Christ, we will certainly find out the true meaning of what it is to be blessed. He will show us the way to a life of success, with one miracle after another! He will literally turn your life around and give you a destiny greater than you could ever imagine! He knows the plans He has for us. He can see what is required for every piece of the puzzle to fit together in order to create the complete picture. Jeremiah 29:11 “I alone know the plans I have for you, plans to bring you prosperity and not disaster, plans to bring about the future you hope for.”
The tapestry of life is such that it confounds even the wisest among us. Although there is much mystery surrounding life here on Earth, the one thing we can be sure of is God’s love for us. He will love us, protect us, guide us and heal us. We can be sure of this because He sent His precious Son Jesus here to walk amongst the people and humble Himself in order that man could experience the glory of God. He sent his only Son to die for us in our place, so that we could receive our Salvation. Our sins have all been forgotten – He will remember them no more! Jeremiah 31:34 “For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.” What a gift to us.
He has given us His mercy, and allowed us the freedom to live, with the promise of life everlasting. John 3:16 NKJV “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
PS Psalm 100:5 NKJV “For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting, And His truth endures to all generations.” Amen.

Living Under The Protection Of The Almighty
When He hears our cry, our Father in Heaven looks upon us with love, grace and mercy. In answer to our prayers, sometimes He takes delight in giving us immediate answers, and sometimes He makes us wait. When this happens, it is for good reason – only He knows what is going on behind the scenes.
Most of the time though, what appears to be delays are only in fact His solutions that we have yet to recognise or acknowledge. We must trust that all our prayers are being answered, all according to God’s will for us. Hosea 14:8 says “I will answer their prayers and take care of them. Like an evergreen tree I will shelter them; I am the source of all their blessings.”
When faced with life’s uncertainties, if we look to God for our answers, He will guide us step by step along the path we must travel. Psalm 121:8 says “He will protect you as you come and go now and for ever.” If we could only see the wonderful orchestration of His plans for us, we would all be amazed!
God is the supreme ruler. He is ruler of the Heavens and Earth, and of all the powers and authorities. He is the one that has the final say in everything. Proverbs 19:21 says “People may plan all kinds of things, but the LORD’S will is going to be done.”
People may try to hurt you, but in the end, they will get what’s coming! We do not need to concern ourselves with this. God deals with people in a most loving way, and it is not up to us to seek vengeance of any kind. Deuteronomy 32:35 NKJV says “Vengeance is Mine, and recompense; Their foot shall slip in due time; For the day of their calamity is at hand, And the things to come hasten upon them!”
God wants you to understand something here. He will never leave or forsake you while you call to Him for help. This is just not His way at all. His way is for you to live confidently amidst all the trials and tribulations of this world, knowing full well that He is taking care of things for you. This is promised to us in Hebrews 13:5-6 NKJV ‘For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we may boldly say: “The LORD is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?”
When one understands the enormity of this promise made out of love for us, we shall become knowledgeable in the ways of the Kingdom. The further one walks upon this path of life, one begins to see all the answers coming to fruition. It all begins to unfold like a beautiful love story between man and his maker. Revelation 3:20 NKJV says “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.”
Let nothing stop you my friends, from walking the path of salvation. If you do, you will never get to experience the beauty and majesty of living a life filled with promises fulfilled, both here and in all eternity. Psalm 91:15-16 NKJV says “He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation.”
You will see the glory of His Kingdom come into your lives and into your homes, if you receive Jesus into your heart today. He is a faithful God, and His promises hold true. Deuteronomy 7:9 NKJV says “Therefore know that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments.”
It doesn’t matter what is going on around you, whether it be a recession, poverty, broken marriages and friendships, family quarrels, job losses, unpaid bills and mortgages, sicknesses and health problems. If you go to the LORD for safety, and you love him and acknowledge Him as LORD, then you shall live under the protection of the Almighty forever and ever! Amen.
PS Psalm 91:1-4 says ‘Whoever goes to the LORD for safety, whoever remains under the protection of the Almighty, can say to him, “You are my defender and protector. You are my God; in you I trust.” He will keep you safe from all hidden dangers and from all deadly diseases. He will cover you with His wings; you will be safe in his care; his faithfulness will protect and defend you.’ Amen.
All glory goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit whom I believe as always have guided me and instructed me with these words. May God bless you and keep you. Amen.

The Virtues of Kindness and a Sincere Heart
Charity begins in the home. See to it that you are always on the ready to provide for the needs of your family, be it food on the table, a loving welcome, kindness, a sincere attitude of goodwill, and a preparedness to give to others when the need arises. Virtually all your problems will melt away when you give of yourself unconditionally in the home. This is God's will for you.
He will make sure that you will be rewarded many times over for the display of unconditional love towards those you love. You must also show love, kindness and consideration to your enemies, especially to your enemies. It is written in Matthew 5:44 "But now I tell you: love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." This way, your Father in Heaven is able to work miracles through you.
If this is how we conduct ourselves around others, they will see for themselves the love of God through us. It does not matter what you say to people so much, it matters more what you do and how you behave towards others.
Lead by example. Loving them when they don't deserve it is love exemplified. They will come to understand what true Christianity is all about. It is written in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 "Love is patient and kind; it is not jealous or conceited or proud; love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritable; love does not keep a record of wrongs; love is not happy with evil, but is happy with the truth. Love never gives up; and its faith, hope, and patience never fail."
Be alert for opportunities to show people that you are willing to give them the time of day. This is how God's love is demonstrated through you. Never miss an opportunity. Lives are transformed this way. Christian faith is love demonstrated. When others see you for who you are in Christ, they will all want a part of it.
Teach them from a humble heart what it means to truly love one another. Ephesians 4:2 says "Be always humble, gentle, and patient. Show your love by being tolerant with one another." Honour others. We do this by showing them respect and forgiveness. It is written in Matthew 6:12 NLT "and forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us." In fact, this is explained further in verse 14, "If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you."
How can we expect our Father in heaven to forgive us if we are harbouring judgement and blame in our hearts for the wrongs that have been done to us. We must cultivate an attitude of forgiveness and love at all times. When our Father in heaven sees this, He is able then to grant the wonderful opportunities and events He has planned for us.
We will be shown mercy and forgiveness for all the wrongs we have committted, and we will become a blessing to others. It is written in the famous 'Sermon On The Mount' in Matthew 5:7 "Happy are those who are merciful to others; God will be merciful to them!" So, not only will we be happy as promised, but we will be shown God's mercy. Let's face it, we could all do with a bit of mercy couldn't we? Amen.
PS In the Bible is says that our only obligation is to love one another, and that by doing so we have obeyed God's Law. Romans 13:10 states "If you love others, you will never do them wrong; to love, then, is to obey the whole Law."
Glory be to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit whom I believe have gifted me with these words for you today. Amen.
He will make sure that you will be rewarded many times over for the display of unconditional love towards those you love.
