The Power of God's Love!

Never underestimate the power of God’s love! It is up to you to realign yourself to this truth in order that you may grow accordingly into the wondrous and mighty warrior that He predestined you to be! We are all His warriors – you and I – and we have been chosen to be His instruments all according to the many plans that He made for us long before our birth into this world. Psalm 18:34 KJV “He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.”

Much shall be accomplished if you will allow yourself to be given direction and instruction by Him. He will set you on your path and will provide all that you could ever need so that you will not want for anything throughout your life. The Lord IS our shepherd and indeed we will have EVERYTHING that we need to get the job done. Psalm 23:1 KJV “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.”

You will receive much joy from walking this path. Although you will come across many who will not be in agreement with you and the path you are on, and you may receive much criticism from those around you, the one thing to remember always is this: Hebrews 13:5-6 KJV “I WILL NEVER LEAVE THEE, NOR FORSAKE THEE. So that we may boldly say, THE LORD IS MY HELPER, AND I WILL NOT FEAR WHAT MAN SHALL DO UNTO ME.”

Your enemies may try to cause you problems or afflictions, but the Lord your God will have them fleeing in seven directions! Yes that’s right! He will not allow them to be successful in any of their plans carried out against you because you are now living under His jurisdiction. Psalm 91:1 KJV “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.”

Our God is an awesome God! He will not let you fail. He will protect you and guide you as you carry out His instructions that He has given you. You will be surprised at how easy this all is and you will be rewarded many times over for your diligence.

As we walk along our paths, day by day, and we are being responsible citizens of His Kingdom, showing Him our faith and trust, the days become larger thereby allowing you to achieve much more than what you could on your own. He has given you ‘length of days.’ Proverbs 3:1-2 KJV “My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.”

You will have the same amount of hours as everyone else, but you will be able to just flow from one activity to the next, as though your feet have barely touched the ground! This is what happens when you live in the Kingdom of the Almighty God! This is what it’s like to walk in the supernatural! God will even send His angels to help you to get things done! Psalm 103:20 KJV “Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.”

PS Always remember that although in this life there will be many trials to undergo, the rewards are far beyond anything we can possibly imagine in this earthly life. You will experience Heaven on Earth – The New Jerusalem – and you will spend all of eternity being wrapped up in God’s love! Glory to God forever and ever. Amen!

All glory for these words as always goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

Prosperity Thinking

n order to grow in the area of finance, we must look to the Bible for the truth. There are many texts that discuss the principles of abundance and prosperity in the Bible. The first thing we must remember though is that it should be our number one priority to serve in God’s Kingdom. If we make that our goal, then we shall be looked after in the area of wealth too. Matthew 6:33 “Instead, be concerned above everything else with the Kingdom of God and with what he requires of you, and he will provide you with all these other things.”

There are many ways in which to increase your wealth. The ways that I am referring to are the worldly ways. There are many ‘get rich quick schemes’ out there, as there are the more conservative ways like saving, investing and so on. However, with God in charge of our increase, we will come to experience much more wealth and abundance than is humanly possible. Deuteronomy 8:18 NKJV “And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.”

Our finances are subject to the Lord. He will decide if and when we will be able to enjoy riches during our ‘stay’ here. We need to be grateful for what we already have, and even for the small things, as this will open the floodgates of God’s great big storehouse of blessings. Psalm 35:27 NKJV ‘Let them shout for joy and be glad, Who favour my righteous cause; And let them say continually, “Let the LORD be magnified, Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.”

The truth is He will reward you according to your level of faith, and also for your obedience to Him. When we live according to His will, this sets in motion all the great many plans He wants to fulfil for us. When we disregard His ways, He is unable to grant us all of our rewards and blessings. Like when a parent says ‘no television until you do your homework or chores!’ Psalm 128:1-2 TNIV “Blessed are all who fear the LORD, who walk in obedience to him. You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours.”

There is much reward and favour shown to those who wait and hope in the Lord, whilst living lives that set the example of how one should live and act within the Body of Christ. When we are obedient to His laws and commands, His promise is that we may live in abundance and prosperity. Deuteronomy 28:1, 11 TNIV “If you fully obey the LORD your God, and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth.....The LORD will grant you abundant prosperity.” So let us be the example that the Lord wants us to be, so that when we come before Him with our prayers and request, we shall be in perfect alignment to receive His favour and blessings upon us and our families! In Jesus name. Amen.

PS Psalm 1:1-3 NKJV “BLESSED is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water. That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper.” May you all be shown the path according to His perfect will for you that you may succeed and prosper in all you do.” In Jesus name. Amen.

All glory goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, whom I believe as always have guided me with these words here today. Amen.

All Aboard The Gravy Train!

All aboard! This is the call for you my friends. When we see all manner of things come to pass, we shall be truly delighted, because we will know that it is our Lord Jesus at work for us in our lives. When we seek, we shall find, no holds barred. We will be rewarded for our time spent in prayer, and in diligence, and we will come to know that the time is right to be filled with the Joy of the Lord! Amen!

Truth, in its many layers, has filtered into your days, and you have become one with the Lord’s will. His mercy has shone upon your life, and he has shown you His grace and love. This is what it’s all about!

There will come a time that you will see many wonderful miracles and blessings occurring all around you. This comes as a result of doing God’s will, from allowing Him to rule supreme in your hearts and lives, and from being obedient to His laws and commands. This I tell you, is a time like no other, you will be led on an amazing journey to the fulfilment of your hearts desires!

Finally you will see all your efforts rewarded. When this happens, others will see you for who you really are in Christ. You will be a magnificent masterpiece sculptured by the hands of God. He will see to it that you are nourished both spiritually and physically, and your family and friends will all benefit as a result. Proverbs 4:18 TNIV says “The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.”

This is how we may know that we are indeed on the right path. Things that you had hoped for in what seems like a million years ago are all happening around you! Amazing it will be to you to discover your dreams coming true. How you might say can this be true? You will believe it because you will see it with your very own eyes! Psalm 84:11 TNIV says “For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favour and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.”

When others begin to see the fulfilment of your dreams, they will begin to question themselves as to why this is so. They will say to themselves, ‘This person is a Christian - perhaps there is something valid in that way of life after all!’ What a glorious example you will be when that happens. They will see the great love of Christ in your eyes, and at work in both you and your families. Praise God! Psalm 37:4 TNIV says “Take delight in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this. He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun.”

Please be assured that by no means does this exempt you from your responsibilities to live a disciplined life in service to the LORD. No! Of course not! What it does mean though, is that you will be rewarded for your efforts and diligence to live a life in Christ according to His will and purposes for you, and that through your loyalty to His ways, you will come to see many if not all of your dreams come to pass...So be it. Amen.

PS Psalm 16:11 TNIV says “You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.”

All glory for these words goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit whom I believe as always, have gifted them to me for you. Praise God.
