LIVING WATERS
*****
I read today of a Muslim cleric who threatened to take a man of the gospel of God to court because he aid that Jesus is God.

In my opinion, the man will have to take every believing Christian to court (lol).

For you who believe in Jesus Christ, know this...

"He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, from within him shall flow rivers of living water.
John 7:38

May the living waters from the throne of God overflow into you and through you in Jesus Holy name
Amen

TRY AGAIN
*****
Most of us have tried fervently to make things around us to work, but each time we try, we fail again and again.

Failure can be very discouraging, but it should never deter you.

Relying on our personal strength, wisdom, academic achievement, finances, virility, qualifications etc, can and will fail.

..But Jesus never fails,
therefore I encourage you...
"Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might."
Ephesians 6:10

For God will never ever ever fail you.

PRAYER
Father strengthen me with courage and your Holy spirit.
Help me please for I have no more strength in me.
I surrender my life to you Lord please take over in Jesus Holy name
Amen

"Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he in God."
1 John 4:15

PRAYER
I confess today, that Jesus alone is God in my Life.
I confess today that Jesus lives in me.
I confess that by the grace of God, I live in Jesus Christ as Jesus Christ lives in me
Amen

PUT GOD FIRST
****
To live a good Christian life is the desire of God for us.
He knows that we may not be perfect, but the blood of Jesus washes away our sins when we ask in prayer.

Always put God above yourself, this will help keep to keep you in check.

Ask God to wash you daily with the blood of Jesus and redirect your path.

"I have set Jehovah always before me: Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved."
Psalms 16:8

Prayer:
Father I surrender to you, please cleanse my heart, my soul and my body with the blood of Jesus.
Lord, please make me whole again in the Holy name of Jesus Christ
Amen

GOD IS ABLE
****
Sometimes we feel that because things are not going our way that God has failed.
... But as the Sun never fails to showup, so is the faithfulness of God.

You should never despise God even when you are down cast, instead draw closer to Him and ask him to reveal more of himself to you because he will eventually come through for you and he will never fail.

"Trust ye in Jehovah for ever; for in Jehovah, even Jehovah, is an everlasting rock."
Isaiah 26:4

PRAYER
Unto Oh Lord I commit my life.
Lead in humility according to your word.
Teach me thy ways oh Lord in Jesus Holy name
Amen

ETERNITY
****
Today I learnt a thing about eternity, which is..
"in eternity, the will of God is perfect and unchanged".
Here on earth, God has revealed to us Love soo awesome that he gave us free will.
This free will is given to us so that we can honestly learn about the God and his divine love.
His love is soo great that we can not entirely comprehend it.

As we learn about His love and begin to appreciate God, he will draw us closer to himself and make us more like him, preparing us for eternity with him.

"And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of Christ."
2 Thessalonians 3:5

Amen

ONLY GOD can give peace.
****
I will give thanks unto thee with uprightness of heart, When I learn thy righteous judgments.
Psalms 119:7.

SUCCESS
****
Success is usually measured by our achievements and acquisition during our lifetime.

But God measures success by how you have been able to touch the lives of others positively passing across the gospel of Jesus Christ which is salvation through His blood, and the sacrifice of His Love.

Remember, success is not material, for it is written that
"Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away."
Matthew 24:35

Therefore take your heart away from material things, and make your life one that will affect lives positively for this is the real measure of success.

God Bless you as you bless others in Jesus Holy name
Amen

NEVER STOP PRAYING
******
We were taught that Jesus never quit praying.
Even when he was on Calvary dying for no just cause, he never hated those that offended him and he never stop praying.

These days, when we experience a small challenge (nothing compared to what Jesus went tru) we just quit.

We quit praying, we quit believing, we quit a Godly life, we quit!, and we embrace sin, evil, anger, hate, unforgiveness all to our own hurt.

Jesus says "I will never leave you or forsake you"..
so why do you leave him?
Why do you forsake him?

Pinch yourself this morning, and return to God because he loves you and really cares for u.

"rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing stedfastly in prayer;"
Romans 12:12

PRAYER:
My God pls cast me not away, forgive my un faithfulness and offence.
Please have mercy on me Lord and restore me in Jesus Holy name
Amen

TOGETHER IN GOD,
TOGETHER IN LOVE
*******
God desires that we unite as one always
Together we will overcome all things that may come against us.

The greatest enemy of man is division.

"Now I beseech you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment."
1 Corinthians 1:10

Prayer:
Father, please take away all things that may bring division in our lives, and bless us with your love and tolerance for each other.
Build you church O Lord in Jesus Holy name
Amen

ITS NOT ME IT YOU
******
One good trick in relationships is not to believe that you are right, but that you are wrong.
This gives room for the best reconciliation.
Always put your weaknesses first before the weakness of your partner.

* Appreciating the little past supports we get from our partners can be as soothing as a glass of cold water on hot day.
* Never compare your partner to another, it hurts and causes trust and confidence to wane

"Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not provoked, taketh not account of evil;"
1 Corinthians 13:4-5

*Last I say please never hold a grudge, and do not let let the sun rise and set on an offence.

God bless you as you allow "Love to lead you"
Amen

WEAK HEART
*****
Today while I said my morning prayers, I felt somehow within me that God wasn't listening.

But while I was yet praying, I realised that the devil sometimes temps us even while in the presence of God to stop us from trusting God.

Dear Friend, I want you to know that God is greater than your conscience, and before you have started to pray to God, he had heard you already and is preparing a blessing for you.

"Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not vain in the Lord."
1 Corinthians 15:58

Don't stop the goodwork.

Prayer
Bless me O my Father and my God.
Have mercy on me Lord, Save me in Jesus Holy name
Amen

Jehovah thy God is in the midst of thee, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love; he will joy over thee with singing.
Zephaniah 3:17

REFUGE
*******
Most people move farther away from God when challenges come, instead of moving closer to him.

David was a man that ran to God always. Even when he offended God he ran back to him.
He said it was better to fall in the hands of a merciful God than in the hands of man.

God therefore referred to David in the bible as a man after His heart.

"I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust."
Psalms 91:2

Prayer:
I yield my heart and my all to you O God.
Please forgive me in your mercy and hold me in your love in Jesus Holy name
Amen

"And in like manner the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity: for we know not how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered;"
Romans 8:26

ULCER? FOOD!
*******
Prayer and bible study is like food.
You have too eat to be sustained in this life or face having a life threatening ulcer.

When you don't pray or do bible study, your spirit begins to lack it's life source and a sick spirit is a home for the devil and his activities.

Pray without season.
Pray daily
Pray without occasion
Pray without ceasing
Pray because you love God

Prayer:
Father I know you love me and you have missed hearing my voice, please help me to love you more, just as you love me in Jesus Holy name
Amen

Pray

Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, And obtaineth favor of Jehovah.
Proverbs 18:22

TALK, TALK
******
Be very very careful of the things you say, and even Jokes you say.

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue; And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."
Proverbs 18:21

If you confess good things, you will have them,..
and if you confess bad things, you will have them.

Prayer:
Lord God almighty, please keep watch over the doors of my lips.
Cancel every negative confession I have ever said Lord and bless me instead O God.
I apologise for my wrong use of words.

Lord please have mercy on me in Jesus Holy name
Amen

THREAT
******
When people threaten you, or your hear rumour of threats, do you become afraid?
Do you begin to worry?

Some years back, a man threatened to deal with me to loosing my job, but I wished him well and I spoke out and said to him
"Except Jesus fails from his throne, then his threat will be fulfilled."
About a month later the man was sacked.
Praise God!

It is written
"Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid: for Jehovah, even Jehovah, is my strength and song; and he is become my salvation."
Isaiah 12:2

Prayer:
Father, please let your love never fail from my heart and my life.
Help me to Trust in the Shadow of the almighty God.
Bless me Lord in Jesus Holy name
Amen

LET LOVE LEAD
****
Love is the only Sincere emotion.
"God is love"

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
John 15:13

Prayer:
Father thank you for your love towards me.
Help me to share your true love with everyone in Jesus Holy name
Amen

HOLY SPIRIT
****
"Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Spirit."
Romans 15:13

Who is the Holy spirit?
The Holy Spirit is the spirit of God sent to be with us and dwell in us.

It is the Holy Spirit that perfects your Christian race, and helps you overcome all temptation.

"He is the Seal of the almighty God."

It is very important to develop a daily relationship with the Holy spirit in your prayers and actions.

Prayer:
Dear Holy spirit, please come and dwell with me and in me.
Help me to recognise your presence daily in my life.
Lead me and teach the way of the almighty God in Jesus Holy name I pray
Amen

EASY DOES IT
******
Don't get carried away with your situation, rather, put God in the picture, telling him about everything.
God truly desires to be a part of your celebration, so tell him always until he comes through for you for your celebration.

*Philippians 4:6-7*
Be anxious for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. *KJV*

AMEN

HEED/LISTEN/OBEY
*******
Have you ever wondered why sometimes it seems like God isn't hearing and answering our prayers?

Well it's pretty simple, and written in his Word..

"God is in the way of life that heedeth correction; But he that forsaketh reproof erreth."
Proverbs 10:17

When we accept to be corrected, God is more present to help us, but when we refuse to be corrected,... well,... you know the rest.

We need to ask God for his mercy and forgiveness, so that He may refresh us in his blessings as we choose the right way that pleases him.

Prayer:
Father forgive me and lead me in the path of righteousness in Jesus Holy name
Amen

THIS KIND LOVE
******
Sometimes we look at our lives as that of a failure, as one unfulfilled and a disappointment,...

..but God doesn't see us the same way.
In all our challenges, God sees you as a successful person who is going tru trials so that you can humble yourself before men and before God so that His plans for you will come to pass in your life.

Remember, you have only one life to live, so don't waste it on yourself, instead, spend your life giving more time to God because he alone will never give up on you as long as you live.

"The LORD GOD appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee."
Jeremiah 31:3

Prayer:
Father thank you for staying with me always.
I appreciate you Lord Jesus
Amen

STUDY
******
You cannot please God as a child of God if you do not believe God and read the bible.

When we read the bible and see the wonderful true stories, our believe and faith in God increases.

"So Faith/belief cometh of hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ."
Romans 10:17

Pick up the bible today, start reading, and Grow your faith in God.
Make it a habit, clean the dust from your bible and begin to read your bible today.

Prayer:
Father, open me up to your word and grow my faith in you through your Word in Jesus Holy name.
Amen

NEVER QUIT
******
Brethren, I count not myself yet to have acheived a thing: but one thing I do, forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before, I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:13-14

Have you sinned against God and do you feel that you are not worthy?
Are you Living a Holy life and feel you are better than others?

The word of God today tells us never to quit trying to be victorious and never to quit until the very end of life.

We need to try again and keep making more efforts until we receive our success.

Prayer
Father God, please strengthen us as we make efforts to succeed in our heart desires and pursuits.
Lord please give us success in Jesus Holy name
Amen

PEACE and HOLINESS
*****
Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man shall see the Lord:
Hebrews 12:14

Sanctification is otherwise called Holiness.
If we live a holy life, we will see God show up in our life and in the world to come

Trust God and Do Good 

*Psalms 37:3*

This is a simple Way to be Christian.

Prayer: Lord Jesus please help me un belief, and strengthen my faith and will in your ways
Amen

Many of us spend far too much time trying to figure out how we can get blessings for ourselves. People sometimes spend their entire lives trying to accomplish what they think is important, never trusting God or letting Him lead them. In the end, this leaves them depressed and unfulfilled.

Psalm 37:3 says, "Trust, in the Lord and do good, ." God didn't create us to worry about helping ourselves all the time. He wants us to sow good seed by reaching out to help others. And doing good brings great satisfaction because it feels great to make a difference. It also opens the door for God to bless you in a greater way.

You need to trust God to bring the right blessings into your life. While you're waiting for His perfect timing, get busy helping others. You'll actually feel relieved when you aren't thinking about yourself all the time.

Trust God and get busy doing the good things you know to do. He'll faithfully bless you and meet your needs.

Prayer Starter: God, I don't want to live a selfish, self-centered life. I trust You to bring the right blessings into my life while I'm busy doing good for everyone You've placed in my life.

Amen

Good morning my lovely family and have a blessed week ahead.

How much

ONE STEP AHEAD
*****
Understanding your weakness is one way to stay one step ahead of the devil.

James 1:12 (KJV) says, "Blessed is the man that endureth temptation, he shall receive the crown of life, "

To endure temptation means to go through trials without giving up, to outlast the devil.

Enduring also means going through a time of temptation without letting it change your attitude or commitment.

Jesus never treated people differently even when He was being tempted, we can follow His example.
Sometimes God allows us to face temptations so He can bring attention to areas of weakness in our lives and help us overcome them.

*Godly Maturity comes through trials, and it will put you one step ahead of the devil.

Prayer:
Holy Spirit, I believe You are with me during times of temptation so that I can be overcome.
Please help me Holy spirit
Amen

Good morning family and have a blessed weekend.

But the Lord is faithful, who shall establish you, and guard you from the evil one.
2 Thessalonians 3:3

AMEN

Under the seat actually is the most practical place,...
but you need to ensure that its the only item under your seat to avoid obstruction during emergency access to the extinguisher as any obstruction to its access can make a great difference between saving your vehicle to losing it in a fire.

Think safety first
