Fear not

Jer 1:7-8
But the LORD answered me,Do not say, “I am too young.”To whomever I send you, you shall go;whatever I command you, you shall speak.Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you—oracle of the LORD.

Reflection:

When God sends us,he is ready to deliver us so that we can work well so let us not fear anything for the Lord is ready to deliver us from our own weaknesses and from anything that can hinder us from serving him well.Our part is to pray always,let us then do so;

Prayer:

Lord,deliver us from our weaknesses and all that is set before us to hinder/distract us from doing your will happily and fruitfully in Jesus Name,AMEN.

Numbers 23,24 and 25

I read Numbers chapters 23,24 and 25 and here is what i learnt:

i)God has blessed us (believers)and the blessings follow us when we remain faithful to him.When we think of the enemy  cursing us lets remember God has blessed us and  remind God of those blessings and reject the curses for it is said in 23:8 "How can I lay a curse on the one whom God has not cursed? How denounce the one whom the LORD has not denounced?"

ii)To be like Phineas (to get angry when we see sins around and to get on our knees crying for repentance for whatever we have heard or seen that defy God )God really admires that! -Oh God help me to be like Phineas!

iii)When we dont destroy evil altars around us and in us we can easily get drawn back to sining.

iv)God fights for us and help us defeat our enemies when we remain in him

Prayer:
I pray that God bless his Church as he has blessed Israel,help us to always bless Israel,to be like Phineas,help us to destroy evil altars around and in us as well as keep on fighting for us and help us defeat our enemies always.

FAILURES ALL AROUND?

Are you struggling with a certain sin/failure in your life?
Do you know there is no one to blame for whatever is going on in your life?see what this has to say

2Cor 6:11
 "We have spoken frankly to you, Corinthians; our heart is open wide.You are not constrained by us; you are constrained by your own affections."

It is what we love,do (what we are mostly attached to) that affects our lives.It is what we choose  that affect our lives and God has given us that freedom to choose so never blame God for anything for you are given freedom to choose always.

What advice is then given to you then if that is the case in your life?See what it says :

2Cor 6:1-2
"Working together,then, we appeal to you not to receive the grace of God in vain.* 2For he says:
“In an acceptable time* I heard you,and on the day of salvation I helped you.”
Behold, now is a very acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation. "

God is telling us that there is Grace of God to help us live in a victorious way.Stop being a failure every time by saying that we humans are weak and you end up there.When you know that you are weak you need to go to the one who can give you strength who is ready  to help us as he says in the above part of the scripture In an acceptable time* I heard you,and on the day of salvation I helped you..."

The grace of God is the power to overcome sin and other things that naturally we cannot and The graces are always given to us as we pray,read the Word of God,go to church and the like.it is up to you to DECIDE TO BE VICTORIOUS in areas where you have been failing by receiving the Grace of God knowing that by your own strength you cant do anything good.

NO ENE ELSE TO BLAME,ITS YOU AND YOUR AFFECTIONS!

Decide now and your life will never be the same again!Pray to God to give you Grace to do all the Good you haven't being able to do and God will bless you abundantly!

NOTE:
We live in a world of principles created by God of principles and will be judged by God of principles,and the greatest principle is that "you reap what you have planted" so plant good by the Grace of God and you will reap good for the Glory of God,Without forgetting to keep on seeking God's Grace always as that will allow God to intervene in your life so that nothing will be able to hinder or destroy your harvests in any way!

A WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT: troubles of the rigtheous

"Many are the troubles of the righteous,

but the LORD delivers him from them all.

He watches over all his bones; not one of them shall be broken."

Ps 34:20-21

LISTENING TO AND WALKING WITH GOD

"Thus says the LORD:
This is what I commanded my people:
Listen to my voice;
then I will be your God and you shall be my people.
Walk in all the ways that I command you,
so that you may prosper."  Jer 7:23

WHAT I HAVE LEARNED FROM THE ABOVE PART OF THE SCRIPTURE
1.LISTENING TO GOD'S VOICE MAKES GOD OUR GOD
2.WALKING IN HIS WAYS GIVES US TRUE PROSPERITY

May the Lord God remove our stubborn and hardened hearts and give us a new heart that is ready to listen to him and walk happily and willingly in his ways always.

GOD IS FOREVER GOOD-WISHING US WELL

The one thing that you should never ever forget no matter how logically unfriendly
your circumstances seem to be is that "GOD IS FOREVER GOOD" .

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future(Jer 29:11)

A WAY OUT

There is always a way out of any situation.It does not matter how the situation is,whether terrifying,astonishing,frustrating or any how,just let your mind settle and you will surely see a way through.God who created us gave us abilities to handle all things and situations that come on our way and thats why he lets us face them cause he knows we can handle them.He can never bring a situation to anyone that is greater that the ability he has given to that person and so my dears never say this is too much for me!!!settle down and you will be ammazed when you find our what you are capable of
