God's Word is what matters....!

Hi ..

★So often in life when we encounter failures and trials,

The enemy whispers " It's over, you'll never rise up

That's the end." 

But we need to remember satan is a liar, accuser and always speaks negative things.

★ Our Lord say's we can rise up and move on, though we fall. We need to just call out to Him when in a difficult place, He'll be by our side to pick us up.

He'll never leave or forsake us.

★So often the enemy whispers " you are good for nothing", "You are not good looking", "You are weak", "You can't do this", "you are useless" etc

★But we need to stop listening to the negative, lying voice of the enemy & listen to the voice of truth.

God made each of us ....only He knows who we really are and His judgements are right! Let Him take over us and every situation we face....!

 Psalm 139:13 "For you created my inmost being;

you knit me together in my mother's womb.

14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."

★Let's stop looking at the situation that cause us concern and look up to our ALL MIGHTY GOD!!

Let's listen to His Word..the voice of truth!!

Our Trial has a purpose!

Sometimes we think that believing in God will shield us from calamity, loss, pain and when we go thro' such times we question God's goodness, His justice and cry out to God like David, "For You are the God of my strength, why have You rejected me? Why have you forgotten me?"(Psalm 43:2/Psalm 42:9).

But though David's soul was in despair and he was disturbed, he chose to hope in God! He knew God will lift him up!

When Job lost everything dear to him and was brought to the ground, he did not curse God.

Someone said,"When we have nothing left but God, God is more than enough!"

Job and David knew their God will not test them beyond what they could bear.

What would we do when and where would we stand if everything that we held on to was slowly taken away?

Would we still praise God? 

Be joyful? 

Be at peace?

Let us choose to trust God thro' the most difficult times, in the darkness so that we can rejoice at the victory the dawn will bring!

Hold on ....

✿Our next breath is not guaranteed......

✿Our next breath is not guaranteed and yet we sometime hold on to our earthly temporary treasures as if our whole eternity depended on that!

✿Sometimes God tells us to let go and move ahead to the better and bigger plans He has for us, but yet we choose to hold on to the old and end up not enjoying all the good God has for us.

✿A day lost is lost forever!

✿A breath wasted is wasted forever!

Lord help us to hold lightly to the things of this world and hold on to You firmly and walk in Your ways and will!

May Your

Lord help us not to strive and struggle but walk in freedom!

~Amen 

❀ Matthew 6:19-20 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.

But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal."

Have a blessed day...

Being "STILL"

When we are in midst of the most toughest battle or in a place where there seems to be no way or sit in darkness where there seems to be no ray if hope, and God says, "BE STILL", that's the most difficult thing to do!

We may feel like it is the end, loose all hope and in desperation cry to God and He says, "BE STILL".

"Being still" may be the hardest thing to do at that point but God just wants us to be still so that He can fight our battle and we may know He is God!

Being still means being still!

It means to stop striving, stop complaining, stop murmuring, stop wondering, stop crying and just being still in complete faith in the ONE WHO ASKED US TO BE STILL!

 Psalm 46:10,"Be still and know that I am God."

Let us hold on to God's promises for us and stand firm on His Word and be still.

Be His Light!

Even if we can be a candle to someone faltering in the dark...or struggling to find the right way, we are still being the "Light", if we can offer a small word of encouragement to someone who's feels everything is over, we are still a 'light', if we whisper a prayer to someone who reaches out, we still are doing what God's called us to do...

Let us keep serving the Lord in little ways we can...

ROMANS 12:8

"If it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully."

He has asked us to be the "Light".

Light is not needed in an already lit up place.

Light is more needed to light up a dark place.

Shine on for ur Savior!

Time to start praying.....!

It is easy to talk about prayer, write about prayer, read about prayer, discuss about it, but the real challenge is to really start praying.

The devil doesn't really care how much we talk on prayer, read about prayer or write about it.

But the moment we kneel down or sit down to pray, he is disturbed!

He tries his best to distract us, disturb us, oppose us to stop us from praying.

For he knows a praying Christian and a God who listens to his prayers can disturb and destroy his dark works and kingdom.

 JAMES 5:16b, "The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective."

That's why God wants us to watch and pray at all times for all thing.

So let us stop reasoning and start praying!

Have a blessed week...!

Is the going tough?

Is the going tough?
Many of us are facing rough and tough times!

Someone said, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going.."

Is the road bumpy? 

Let us not stop...God will make a way, where there seems to be no way....

Is the Night dark(it's meant to be so)? Don't quit...Light will break forth soon...

Has the wait been long? 

Let us hold on...our answer may be on the way...

God is watching, our God is faithful and He is a God of surprises.

Many battles are lost at the point we lay down our armor in discouragement and disappointment.

Hold on a while more...

~The promotion is being worked out..

~The Payment due may be on it's way.

~The apology may be in the making,

~The healing will come,

~Restoration on the way,

~The job contract ready,

~Your life partner being prepared,

So...don't quit.

Remember...it is said "QUITTERS NEVER WIN AND WINNERS NEVER QUIT."

ISAIAH 40: 31.."but those who hope in the LORD 

       will renew their strength. 

       They will soar on wings like eagles; 

       they will run and not grow weary, 

       they will walk and not be faint."

Hold on and don't give up.

Feel faint and feel like giving up let us reach out to loved ones and fellow warriors for prayer support...

Feel you can't carry on...hold of to Jesus...He will carry you through..

It's better to hold on than give up!

Holding on....to the One who is Stronger, Mightier than me or any other on earth!
