Like Jesus

Surely it is our God!!! 🙌

Trust is believing your future is wrapped in the love of God, and if that’s the case, then we can trust-fall into wherever God leads. I want to hear His melody over me so loud that all other voices learn their proper harmony to His song. But that takes practice. It takes leaning in every second of every day. Each time we feel He’s speaking, and we willingly turn away, His voice grows a little fainter against the volume of our well-composed plans. I want to grow in my ability to hear His voice, and I want you to hear Him too. And not just a voice that’s always guiding you, but a voice that’s always changing you. I’m done with anything less.
-Mike Donehey

No matter how hard the situation is right now, find your peace in Him our Father. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted. His Holy Spirit is our great comforter. He knows. He’s already moving... 🙏

Did you know that having the peace of God protects you?

There will be times that the enemy wants us to slip. It comes in different forms. The devil can use our spouse, our children, our in laws, our workmates and even our very own failures to sweep our feet off and pin us to the ground. Often times we lose our cool. We become the worst of ourselves, we let ourselves fall down. In deeper sense, we lose our Peace. We always take the peace of the Lord for granted. We do not see the depth of its power over us. When we realize how helpful it can be to a lot of situation and can also resolve a lot of pending collateral damages we will learn to treasure and keep it always.

Remember that the Peace that the bible tells us to put on is not the typical peace that we learn in this world. The true Gospel of Peace is the Gospel of Jesus Christ dying on the cross of Calvary for us, bearing all our sins and shame along with the pain just to win our case. When we realize the depth of God's sacrifices for us that He commended his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. , having His peace comes easily. He will keep our feet stronger than ever to stand firm and keep us fortified while we battle. When we see how great, powerful, majestic yet very forgiving our Lord Jesus Christ is and follow his footsteps, Peace will follow us too. We stay calm despite of the turmoil, we forgive no matter how bad people have hurt us, we control our temper and take wiser steps from there on....

So remember to put on the Gospel of Peace everyday! Don't forget about it and don't miss it.

Ephesians 6:11-18

11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; 17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,

Psalm 37:31 says "The law of his God is in his heart; his feet do not slip."

Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.





MAY GOD CONTINUALLY SPEAK TO YOU DEAR READER

The world celebrates February as the LOVE month but the children of God celebrate love everyday as they celebrate Jesus.

1 Corinthians 16:14
"Let all that you do be done in love."

The bible teaches us to incorporate love into everything that we do. There are no exemptions even if you are angry, frustrated, tired or disappointed you should do every thing with love.

One great example can be found in Marriage. It is a guarantee that marriage is not always rainbows and butterflies. There will be trying times but because of LOVE, the couple endures. Even when the physical attraction is gone, the romance slips away or your spouse is not the same as before and imperfect, love sustains the relationship.

Colossians 3:12-14
Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. "ABOVE ALL THESE THINGS, WALK IN LOVE, WHICH IS THE BOND OF PERFECTION".

Not just in marriage but in every part of our lives.
- May the food that you cook for anyone be done in love.
- May every help you give to strangers be done in love.
- May your forgiveness be genuinely filled with love.
- When you rebuke someone, do it with love.
- Bring and spread love in your workplace.
- Teach and show love in your household.
- Preach love in your church.
- When you sing and dance, groove with love.
- When you open your mouth, speak in the language of love.
- Let love be the inspiration of your decisions.
- Let love be the reason of your compassion.
- Let love be the stronghold of your patience.
- Let love be the core of your principles.
- Let love be the integrity of your virtues.
- Be an advocate of love.
- Be a soldier of love.
- Be a servant of love.

Because "GOD IS LOVE"

Our Lord Jesus Christ is the Love we truly need.
It is our confidence that when we do all things in love and in Christ Jesus we glorify the Lord.

1 Corinthians 10:31
So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.

We love your dear reader. God bless you and your family.

Let’s say you have an idea, a business or a ministry that you want God to bless. How do you pray?

Reference verse: 1 Chronicles 4:10​.

1. Pray for God’s Blessing – The prayer starts out by saying…“Oh that you would bless me indeed…
a. So here you’re simply humbly asking God to bless you, your business, your idea or whatever it is you are trusting God for. You’re not coming naming and claiming or demanding anything from Him but rather recognizing that again and again in His word God invites His children to let our requests be made known to Him.
b. Did you know that there were some things that ONLY happened in the Bible because people were bold enough to ask God to do it?
c. I’m reminded of a man named Hezekiah who was on his death bed who cried out to God and said, “God would you be so gracious to extend my life?” And God essentially said, “Because you asked I’m going to add 15 years to your life.”

2. Pray for Influence rather than Affluence – “…enlarge my territory…”
a. Here is when we check our own motivation as to why we are asking God to bless us.
b. God give me a bigger business so that I can have a wider sphere of influence on more people so I can make an eternal impact on their life and trust that as your influence expands God will bring the affluence if it’s His will.
c. So if your motivation is to reach more people for Jesus Christ with your idea then why would God not want to enlarge your territory?

3. Pray for Favor – “and that your hand might be with me…”
a. This is where you ask God to do what you cannot do. This is where the natural stops and the supernatural takes over. It’s where your Preparation meets God’s Providence…
b. It’s here that you recognize that no matter how skillful, intelligent, and resourceful you are you cannot accomplish what God wants you to accomplish by yourself. You need God’s power and His favor upon you because when God’s hand is on something it CANNOT be stopped!
c. So here you are praying for two primary things…
i. RELATIONSHIPS/PEOPLE – Bring the right people to me to help me pull this off. Pray that God would supernaturally ordain the right relationships. Give me favor with people. Open up the right doors and opportunities.
ii. RESOURCES/PROVISIONS – You’re praying for God to provide supernaturally. You’re praying that you would literally see the hand of God working behind the scenes so that you have the confidence to know that God has your back on what you’re asking Him for.
iii. REACH/PROMOTION – Pray that God would promote you to help you reach the people He intends for you to reach.

4. Pray for Protection – “…keep me from harm that I may not experience pain.”
a. Here you are praying that God would protect you from people who are jealous, envious, vindictive, have secret agendas and people who don’t have the best interest at heart for whatever it is you are trusting God for.
b. Pray that God would keep you and your business covered from any and all attacks that may distract, derail or ultimately destroy you.

This one verse although short is packed with power! So I want to encourage you to start praying these four things over your life, your family, your business and your ministry or any other idea you’re trusting God for today and trust God to prosper you as He sees fit.

Let this prayer be not something you quote verbatim necessarily but a guide for how to pray.

There is something within us that is often times uncomfortable to ask God to bless something that we are doing. But I want you to notice one thing. This is not name it and claim it. He did not come to God in a prideful way demanding that God give him a specific blessing. He left that up to God and simply said, “God in whatever way you want to bless me I’m content.”

Be bold to ask God to bless your business – What I love is that he let God determine how he wanted to bless him (financially, people, etc.)

The Secret to Praying for Prosperity Please watch: "The ONE Thing Every Christian Should Be Doing But Most Are NOT!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slK6HI8tUTY --~--THE SECRET TO PRAYING FOR PR...

Do you remember the hype back then when Christians used to wear the ever famous "What would Jesus do" or "WWJD" bracelet?

It's a very interesting question and super helpful when we are facing a dilemma. As a child of God do we really ask this question to ourselves first before we take a step forward or make a very important decision?

Praying to God before we decide should be a regular practice to us. Learning more about Jesus and being ever curious of how he sees and responses to things will drive to the question "What would Jesus do" in certain situations. When God reveals Himself more to us, we should have the responsibility to show Him more to the world by our actions. We should aim to follow his steps and be more like Jesus.

It is very dangerous for us to keep doing things without wisdom from above and without praying if it's really the same thing the Lord Jesus would do.

Remember!!!
Jeremiah 17:9 "The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?"

Proverbs 14:12: There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death. There is a way that seems right, but it leads to death.

1 Corinthians 10:31: So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

Giving glory to God means we remember Him at all times even when we do the very basic things in life like eating, drinking, chatting with friends, giving advice to someone, preparing for business, deciding what clothes to wear (Yes even the verrry veryy basic things) etc....

May we seek guidance and counsel to our Lord Jesus first before we search anything through google, a book or even from a friend.

The Lord hears us so make sure to be sensitive in every answer and convictions he wants us to have.

Happy New Year Everyone!

2020 may not be a good year for everyone but our HOPE will remain in Christ. His grace will always be enough no matter how hard the situation we are in.

May we all continue to live in Christ and be faithful until His second coming.

The Lord Jesus Christ is with anyone whose hope is in Him (Jeremiah 17:7) so have courage in facing 2021 whatever it may bring. Be happy as much as you can. Be hopeful because God will surely see you through! Your reward is in heaven and not here on earth. Everything on earth is temporary nevertheless enjoy every moment with your loved ones for His coming is near. PREACH CHRIST to as many people as you can. That is our great commission.

Jeremiah 17:7
7 But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,
whose confidence is in him.
8 They will be like a tree planted by the water
that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought
and never fails to bear fruit.”

He said: “Listen, King Jehoshaphat and all who live in Judah and Jerusalem! This is what the Lord says to you: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s. - 2 Chronicles 20:15
