Happy Father’s day!
Happy father’s day to all the wonderful fathers.
You strive every single day to do your best and get the best for your lovely families.
You go extra miles to make your family a happy one.
You care and tender with care and graciously.
Just like our heavenly Father, you have been a good, good father too.
If truly America is the land of the free, then it should be the land of the free. Its citizens should not have to protest to be free. There seems to be ample evidence that people, not just in America but all over the world, are tired of fighting for freedom, justice, and liberty.
The bible says that “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.”
Well, it is absurd to think that some would not mind practicing slavery despite civilization, but people’s mind is free, and it will be an uphill task to hold people bound as it was a practice in the old days.
Paul the Apostle admonished a slave master (Philemon) to take another man, (Onesimus) not as a slave anymore but, as a dear brother.
Those in captive always seek to be free and will do anything to be free.
Rise to your freedom. Write it out! Do not be tired to express yourself with confidence. Slave masters do not care to continue to enslave you again if you are careless about your freedom. Teach your kids the same too.
We should live as a free man on planet earth. This responsibility rest on man and, God has given us free will to chose between good and evil. It is human who enslaves others and not God.
Therefore, we must strive to achieve our God-endowed purpose, which is to live, multiply, and subdue the earth.
These are extraordinary times and call for us to seek God more than ever before.
We have a promise that God will hear us if only we pray. We cannot be complacent and indifferent rather we should be concerned that the world around us seems to be crumbling.
This is the time to arise, pray to God.
“Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.”
“Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.”
Let us call on God and pray so He may heal and deliver our land.
Don’t stop praying; keep on praying until there is a change and our land is healed and restored.
Let us arise and pray to God who can save us from all our troubles.
One of the fundamental challenges of man is paying attention to basic instructions or obeying simple instructions. It’s important to remind ourselves that we are here today, with all our problems and a world of chaos, because Adam and Eve couldn’t follow through on a simple instruction.
Obedience to God’s instructions is key to unlocking your blessings. Think of a child who disobeys. You won’t be pleased not only because the child doesn’t listen but also because the child may, in the process, endanger his or her own life.
God’s standards will not change. If it’s a call to pray, pray! If it’s a call to talk to someone about a business or seek advice, do it without arrogance or pride. If it’s a call to be patient or wait, it is wise to slow down at the moment. Rushing or working round the clock to speed up the arrival of your breakthrough will not necessarily move God to act.
Let’s learn from the patriarch– Abraham did not receive the blessing-his descendants did– he had to wait. Moses waited for 40 years before he could lead the Israelites nation. Joseph spent time in prison even though for the wrong reasons but, when the time came, he became king. David was anointed king as a teenager. He never became king until he was 30 years old. Jesus Christ fasted and waited for 40 days before he commenced His ministry.
Many of our daily struggles would be over in a short time If we would follow simple instructions.
Therefore, listen and learn, and most importantly, obey so you can reap the maximum benefits.
1 Samuel 15:22 NIV
But Samuel replied: “Does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the Lord? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.
Deuteronomy 15:5-6 NIV
if only you fully obey the Lord your God and are careful to follow all these commands I am giving you today. [6] For the Lord your God will bless you as he has promised, and you will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. You will rule over many nations but none will rule over you.
Joshua 1:8 NIV
Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.
Even strong young lions sometimes go hungry, but those who trust in the Lord will lack no good thing.
Psalms 34:10
Trusting the Lord unlocks the storehouse of God’s abundance and releases these blessings upon those who trust Him.
You can only seek God if you trust Him to provide those things that you lack.
So, the blessing of God is still guaranteed even in the period of uncertainty.
God does not force His will upon anyone. He allows us to make our choices so that we do not have to blame Him for our mishap. God cannot and will not violate the free-will of man. The ability to make choices and decisions is at man’s disposal.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
It is said, “you cannot have your cake and eat it.” once eaten, it’s gone!
The story of the talent resonates this statement. Two of them invested the little they have and gain extra while the last guy did not invest but waste the only coin he had. The result is simple. The two that invested their coins gained extra coins while the last guy did not but lamented all day long.
The extra money you invest today yields extra change for you in the future.
The time you invest in your marriage makes a happy family.
The investment you put into the lives of your kids provides for them a great future.
Education is an investment and the result is a great career.
God gave His Son to redeem us from sin. Now we have a glorious future ahead of us.
To reap a great harvest, you must sow seeds. And do not forget, whatever you sow is what you will reap.
So, I say to you, invest into your life, your marriage, business, children, your knowledge of God and to humanity and expect a great harvest.
Take time to do things that will affect your future positively. Invest today; harvest tomorrow.
When Jesus said, “it is finished”, I perceived He was saying that He’s conquered all and defeated the enemy.
Before making those affirmative words, He was heavily burdened by the sufferings but afterwards, He declared victory over sin, Satan and death.
So, as believers who believed in Him, you rise up not in fear but in faith and declare your victory over sin, Satan, death, failures, failing marriages, failing businesses, falling projects, sicknesses and diseases, including coronavirus. Victory is ours in Jesus name
You must get up and say to that “thing”, whatever it is, “get up and get lost!”
the weakest believer on any day is stronger than the enemy the moment He recognizes and exercise the God given authority.
Victory at last!
If the odds are stacked against you, look out for where at least one opportunity exist and make maximum use of it.
Don’t ask amiss; ask aright.
God is constantly working to load His children with daily benefits.
Think about it, parents look after their own children. Definitely, God looks after His own.
Blessed forever!
God said in Exodus 33:19,
And the LORD said, “I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the LORD, in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
He chooses one person and the other He reject. Those who disobey Him He punishes and those who humbly ask for forgiveness He pardons.
We need God’s mercy more than we need His material blessings. In fact, if God doesn’t show us mercy, we won’t have life to enjoy the other blessings.
Multiple times the bible says that if we humble and pray, God will heal us, deliver us, set us free, and after a while, He will settle us and establish us.
Let us run to God. Turn to Him for mercy. Mercy is what we need this time.
Will you seek His face and pray and ask for just one thing ? His Mercy.
