GOD OUR ALL IN ALL

GOD OUR ALL IN ALL

God is faithful. Even in times when the water level is climbing and trouble seems like it will overcome us, we can hold onto our faith and reach out to Jesus for peace. I leave you peace; My peace I give you. I do not give it to you as the world does. So don’t let your hearts be troubled or afraid.

Turn in the Bible to the book of Psalms. There we hear the cries of God’s people in times of trouble. We also hear echoes of our own frustration, our own fears, and our pleas for help from the only One who understands, the One who can best respond.

When you are truly strengthened by the Lord, your success in handling difficulties increases, your sense of security become double and you are willing to go on and on the track of faith. You gain confidence that you and God together can cope with whatever hard times the future may bring. You are ready for anything and equal to anything through the One who infuses inner strength into you.

Do what you can, and leave the rest to God. When you’re embroiled in a difficult situation, pour out your heart to Him, knowing that He listen and He cares. Rely on God, your ever-present Help in trouble. Refuse to let your problem become your main focus, no matter how anxious you are to solve it. You are to constantly focus on God who is the source of your strength.

The symbol of strength in the Lord is simply by looking to Him for help and guidance, doing whatever you can and trusting Him to do what you cannot do. Instead of trying to force things to a premature conclusion, relax and ask Him to show you the way you should go — in His timing. Hold His hand in confident trust and enjoy the journey in His Presence.

Walking close with Jesus is the key to coping through the toughest times. Leaning on Him, following Him, relying on His strength and help will come. Don’t panic when should obviously do, don’t give up on God; He has all solutions in His hands.

God our great healer, an ever present God in seasons of uncertainty, a sure hope in all hopeless conditions.

WHAT WILL YOUR NEW NAME BE?

WHAT WILL YOUR NEW NAME BE?

“Do not remember the former things, Or ponder the things of the past. Listen carefully, I am about to do a new thing, Now it will spring forth; Will you not be aware of it? I will even put a road in the wilderness, Rivers in the desert.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭43:18-19‬ ‭

Many of us have incorrectly taken on labels as our names. Maybe we have been labeled “loser” or a “dropout” or “unemployed.” Maybe we’ve labeled ourselves “unattractive” or “overweight.” But God doesn’t settle for labels that limit. Instead, He gives us a name that call us into a new identity that He has crafted just for us – names with meanings and names that speak to who we will become.

Will we be known by the ungodly way we used to live or by our new name, and with it our new obedience? Will we be known by our sins of the past? Or will we seek God, persevere through the wrestling as Jacob did, and fight to believe we are forgiven and made new. Can we leave our old labels behind and anticipate a bright future only He can give?

Maybe we have trouble hearing from God in the first place. Maybe we don’t take the time to hear God and listen for our new name. Maybe we don’t believe God has new names for us. Maybe we are comfortable in the same old patterns of identity and action we were known for so long.

We are extended this invitation to be made new, and this invitation from God never expires. New does not mean “instant” or “overnight.” New means “not like we used to be.” New means believing what God says about us and living into this new identity and reality with complete trust in Him. So do what it takes to be new and to stay new. Your old name no longer defines you. 

Isn’t it time to leave labels that have limited you and I behind in the new year? Labels like “forgotten” “rejected” "debtors" "beggars" or “not enough”? Ask God for your new name. You may be surprised which new names come to you. Names like “Overcomer,” “Provided for” and “Seen by God.” It’s never too late to be made new. We’re never too old to be renamed by God. Let’s begin this new year by asking God what new names He has for us. He will help us hear and overcome!

GOODBYE TO THE LABELS THAT LIMIT, GOD IS SET TO DO A NEW THING IN MY LIFE THIS YEAR

Morning Routines: It’s A New Day, A New Year

MORNING ROUTINES: IT’S A NEW DAY, A NEW YEAR

How does your typical early year begin? Is your yearly routine a hurried and a hustle, or those it begins in the peace and calm of time with God?

When we begin our year by spending time with God, it brings healing. “There’s no script, no race, no rules. There is only peace, courage and strength for the day ahead”

As much as it is practicable, let us start our early year routines with PRAYER, because it will lead us to comfort and shield us from the world spin cycle of striving, stress and anxiety. It will root our day in fullness instead of scarcity. More so that this year is tagged: DIVINE ALL ROUND SUFFICIENCY.

Each day this year, we are encouraged to turn to God’s WORD, which nourishes our souls and fills us up after the previous day’s pouring out. Sometimes we may take a passage and camp there, or a long section of Psalms, sometimes an entire book. Through the scriptures, we learn who HE made us to be.

As we spend time in God’s WORD, we will sense the Holy Spirit inviting us to lay down our anxieties and to give thanks for the deliverance he is bringing, even if we couldn’t see it yet. We give thanks for the things that has already happened, the things that are happening, and the things that would come. When we sincerely do this, we will emerge daily ready to face the battle of lives and we will be victorious certainly.

DIVINE ALL ROUND SUFFICIENCY had been declared for the entire 2020 year, guess what a clever Christian would do. He or She will pick up the theme, create a vision and run with it. Since we know that HE that promised is ready, willing and able to bring to pass all that HIS mouth has promised. Beyond reading the WORD, praying with the WORD, there is a certain place of trusting. Believing HIM this year will bring about much different outcome.

I see supplies to all our demands this year in Jesus Name. I see surplus over scarcity, I see abundant of rain over drought and dryness in your life in Jesus Name. I came to tell you that God is ready to surprise you this season, not just enough season is over, whether you see the sign of rain or not, your valley shall be filled. Congratulations for making it to the year of double double.

WHEN WE BEGIN OUR DAYS BY SPENDING TIME WITH GOD, WITH HIS COMFORT, HIS PACE, HIS TIMING, IT BRINGS HEALING

Wonders of God in our lives

WONDERS OF GOD IN OUR LIVES

To not pay attention is to miss the wonder of being alive. We need to live intentionally, with our antennae up. We need to notice our life as we are living it. Why? For three reasons

The first is to appreciate all that God has blessed us with. Given the chance to live our lives again. Second, we need to notice what’s going on around us to keep us headed in the right direction in our lives and lastly, we need to notice what’s going on around us so we can be there for others.

This season we are celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, Him being a great gift ever to mankind, let us pay attention to this, when it is a gift then it is undeserved. This is the reason why we all have to keep appreciating God for the gift. Do not forget also that this is a season of reaching to one another with various kind of gifts, blessing other with your possession be it material, cash or kind as God enables us.

As per the issue of thankfulness, a lot of remembering have to take place, we must remember all that our mind has forgotten, we have to bring to remembrance the details of His love and care, we must remember these when confusion set in, particular when the road becomes so darken, we must remember to thank Him when our prayers are answered, we must not quickly forget thanking God when there is delay in whatever facet of life.

Sometimes the picture is not clear, and you are in the place of saying, “God, this doesn’t make sense.” He is with you, do not allow the temporary confusion to rob you of His presence. When we are on the receiving end of pain and can’t yet see or understand why we’re in such trials, we can find it so hard to trust. So hardly will you be in thanksgiving mood when you don’t trust. We are called to break this yoke this season. We will trust Him because He has been there for us.

What is your story this season? What testimony are you sharing with your family members? Is it story of what God hasn’t done, or story of lacks and inadequacies that saluted you this year? Yes you might be correct but would it not make better sense and glorify God if all you choose to remember are the beautiful moments when God appeared in your situations. I am appealing to us, let us REMEMBER that our God deserves our appreciation and lets us show it.

A THANKFUL SOUL SEES A GOOD GOD DOING GOOD ALWAYS

Remember to show Him Appreciation

REMEMBER TO SHOW HIM APPRECIATION

Enter [God’s] gates with thanksgiving and His court with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name – Psalm 100:4

Throughout the bible we are commanded to be thankful. A spirit of thanksgiving is one of the most distinctive marks of a Christian whose heart is attuned to the Lord

First, we are to be thankful for the material blessings God gave us. Some people are never satisfied with what they have, but what difference it makes when we realize that everything we have, has been given to us by God!

Second, thank God for the people in your life. It is so easy to take them for granted, or to complain or become angry because they don’t meet our every wish. But we need to give thanks for our spouse, our children, our relatives and our friends. Most of all, thank God for Christ and his love for you.

Third, thank God in the midst of trials and even persecution. We draw back from difficulties but none of us is exempted from trouble. Yet in the midst of trails we can thank God because we know He has promised to be with us and help us. For the Christian, every day is Thanksgiving Day!

It is actually wise to embrace each day with thanksgiving because the blessing for each day is wrapped in our thanksgiving to God. For this reason, the scriptures encourage us to train our minds to be conscious of this, always remember to say thank you Jesus even when you think you don’t have any reason to say thank you.

Thank Him for His wisdom through which he created the heaven and the earth, thank Him for making you in his image, thank God for giving you Jesus for a savior, thank him for eternity with Him, thank Him for having you in mind and that He has gone to prepare a place for you. Thank Him for everything around you.

God delights in the praises of His people, when we have the grace to remember yesterday, where we were, who we were and what people around us thought we would not achieve, reconcile that to your present state you will surely know that God hasn’t brought you this far to abandon you. In that light, you will give him your heartfelt praise. Hallelujah!

THANKSGIVING IS ONE OF THE MOST DISTINCTIVE MARKS OF A CHRISTIAN WHOSE HEART IS ATTUNED TO THE LORD.
