In your plan to succeed in life, always permit that, ‘God is in Control’ on the operational, tactical and strategic peak! Do you ever think things can go wrong or mistakes do happen? Maybe your mindset could accommodate such; nonetheless, you must factor in that always God has something better in His Mind! Yes, when you succeed, you give Him thanks, for He plans to escalate His glory in your life just at that point. Even when you failed to…
Many of us know what the Scripture says backwards and forward, but it is challenging to believe we should give thanks when we cannot see any earthly reason for what has happened! Yet, my listener, complex or not, when we do not give thanks, we are walking in unbelief. And definitely, unbelief is sin! “in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” (1 Thessalonians 5:18). That’s it!!!
*1.* “For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.” *2* “For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.”…
Indeed, Grace is unmerited favour bestowed on us at our salvation. In other words, grace is an ingredient of Salvation flourishing in us sufficiently to keep carrying us on to meet God’s standard. The kingdom of heaven is reserved for those who become as little children, for those who look to their Father in loving confidence for every benefit, whether for the pardon so freely given or for the strength to do His will. Here it is: “God saved you…
Anytime I reflect on Psalm 25:6 and 2 Corinthians 12:9, I receive the confidence that God’s grace is my birthright and ever sufficient for us as children of God. When you have failed, do you wonder how things could ever be the same between you and God? Do you know that God sustains you, precious one? Yes, you belong to Him, the God of all grace! Grace is the birthright of every child of God; Grace is there to preserve…
*1.* “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. . .Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.” *2* “The poor are ruled by the rich, and those who borrow are slaves of moneylenders.” *3* “Christ has set us free to live a free life. So take your stand! Never again…
Here it is, paid in full: “And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.” (Matthew 6:12, NKJV). When God talks about debts, He’s talking about the times when people hurt you and do you wrong. It’s debt because human nature says, “I was wronged. Now I want justice. You have to pay me back.” But the mistake many people make is trying to collect a debt that only God can pay. Your parents can’t pay you back for…
Ordinarily, believers in Christ Jesus are not to struggle with listening to God! When you are compelled to listen to God, it is as dangerous as being disobedient to Him! However, this is not the subject here! For various indeterminate reasons, Mary, the Mother of Jesus Christ, told the servants at the Marriage of Cana. I quote, “His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” (John 2:5, ESV). Could this be a variant of active listening or…
*1.* “Because you are precious in my eyes, and honored, and I love you, I give men in return for you, peoples in exchange for your life. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.” *2* “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.” *3* “When a scoffer is…
Remember that you are always of great value to God; you are precious to Him. Fear Him alone. Reverence Him. Believe Him. Trust Him. Indeed, you are precious: “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.” (Matthew 10:29-31). That’s it!!!
