In Psalm 73, the psalmist pondered how best to understand the reasons behind the prosperity of the wicked! He tells of how envious and discouraged he was when he looked at the apparent wealth and ease of the wicked. Essentially, he saw it as a challenging experience to encounter. Suddenly, bitterness crept into his life until he went into the sanctuary of God! Have you found answers, and how deep is your understanding of this subject matter! Here it is:…
*1.* “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and there is…
Have you not heard that if you are making a habit of sitting at Jesus’ feet, then whatever God says to you, do it? Yes, do it with all confidence and without hesitation, for that’s the will of God for you, my friend! Here it is: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” (Proverbs 3:5-6). That’s it!!!
Have you not heard that if you give God your reputation, if you seek no agenda other than God’s, if you are willing to do God’s will no matter the cost, then His life will be your life, and your life, His? Here it is: “For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.”…
*1.* “Saying, “If you will diligently listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and do that which is right in his eyes, and give ear to his commandments and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you that I put on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, your healer.” *2* “You shall serve the Lord your God, and he will bless your bread and your water, and I will take sickness away…
The good news is that the Scripture says by the stripes Jesus received before He went to the cross, He took our guilt, our sicknesses and diseases, our shame, and our failures upon Himself and “we are healed.” We are not at the mercy of disease, fear, depression, virus, or dependence. We have the cure. The Most High God’s being for you is more than the world being against you. Don’t let the fear, the guilt, or the depression hold…
Friend, one of the challenges we faced with some infectious diseases was that our bodies had no antibodies to fight them appropriately. Without a cure, humans were at the mercy of these diseases. Once you have the cure, you don’t have to fear the disease. But what about virus-like toxins that you can’t treat with a vaccine? What of guilt, fear, depression, addictions, and emotional diseases? Could a vaccine provide a cure? These can infect our thinking, poison our self-esteem,…
*1.* “I can do all things through him who strengthens me. But he said, “What is impossible with men is possible with God.” So the last will be first, and the first last.” *2* “For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?” *3* “But thanks be to…
Friend, you are a member of the Kingdom that cannot be shaken! Yes, we belong to Jesus, and Jesus is a member of the Godhead! Our Jesus belongs to God! We have been made part of a kingdom of priests who will reign with Him when He comes as King of kings and Lord of lords; as children of God, we have always been winners, we remain winners, and we are winners forever. Simply by faith in our Lord Jesus…
Here it is, some believers in Christ Jesus could take a feeling of being losers at times! Losers? The sense of being losers happened to some people around me when they had to turn to the world for help rather than God! Yes, we could look like losers at times, but we were never to be losers. We may even be vilified as losers, and those who were associated with us were to be most pitied but the excellent thought…
