Yes, your appointed season for manifestation! For you, it is a divine appointment for you to shine. Remember, “Don’t get weary in well-doing, for in due season, you will reap if you faint not.” (Galatians 6:9) Yes, we can’t allow ourselves to get tired of living the right way. God says if you won’t become weary of making the best decision, if you won’t let what you don’t see work you out of what you know, at that point your…
Take a close look at the Gospel, one example of the Scriptures in Mark 9:24-25, 29; you should fall in love with walking with Jesus Christ and enjoy both physical and spiritual benefits of infinite possibility – I mean, endless possibility!!! Reflect on this: “Immediately the boy’s father cried out and said, “I do believe; help my unbelief!” When Jesus saw that a crowd was rapidly gathering, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out…
Madeleine L’Engle said: “Often we stumble along, not knowing where we’re going, but understanding that the journey is worth it because Jesus took it for us, shared it with us. Because the immortal God became mortal, we all share in the immortality as well as the mortality.… To believe that a purposeful, benign Creator created the universe is one thing. To think that this Creator took on human vesture, accepted death and mortality, was tempted, betrayed, broken, and all for…
Wisdom says don’t give your strength to bitterness? Have you ever seen anger as a friend of promising future? Surely, bitterness will keep you from your right end. Meaning, it’s going to depress you, pull you down into the deep valley, snatch your ambitions, steal your promising outlook, and ultimately decimate or knock-off you of your joy to rejoicing. Sure, you may have a reasonable motive to be bitter, somebody hurt you, but holding on to the harm is only…
Which is more comfortable to declare? The Lord is with me, or I’m with Him! One thing is undoubtedly certainly, and here it is: “The Lord is near to those who are discouraged; he saves those who have lost all hope. Good people suffer many troubles, but the Lord saves them from them all; the Lord preserves them completely; not one of their bones is broken.” (Psalm 34:18-20 GNT)
J. B. Phillips said: ” When have Christians been promised physical security? In the early church it is evident that they did not even expect it! Their security, their true life, was rooted in God; and neither the daily insecurities of the decaying Roman Empire, nor the organized persecution which followed later, could affect their basic confidence. In my judgement, the description which Christ gave of the days that were to come before his return is more accurately reproduced in…
Have you heard that old victory makes new attitude challenging to get? Yes, yesterday’s mood will stay old today. You need a recent win to keep going! Meaning, you keep winning if you start fresh and new. It is synonymous to letting past negatives from yesterday remain with the past, and you are gaining divine speed for next onward victory! You may ask what of ‘archive of the old.’ I say to you remembering old damages, pondering what you lost,…
Yes, the righteous cry for the better things! Things of heaven; that of faith and holiness! Scripturally, the righteous cry is indeed a holy call to the Lord – “The righteous call to the Lord, and he listens; he rescues them from all their troubles. The Lord is near to those who are discouraged; he saves those who have lost all hope. Good people suffer many troubles, but the Lord saves them from them all;” (Psalm 34:17-19 GNT) It is time for the righteous call,…
Dietrich Bonhoeffer said: “Celebrating Advent means learning how to wait.… Not all can wait – certainly not those who are satisfied, contented, and feel that they live in the best of all possible worlds! Those who learn to wait are uneasy about their way of life, but yet have seen a vision of greatness in the world of the future and are patiently expecting its fulfilment. The celebration of Advent is possible only to those who are troubled in soul,…
Yes, the mercy of God! Have you heard that God’s mercy works outside the realm of human theology or understanding? What is your perception of that happening on the Cross? Have you considered a picture? Have a reflection on it. It’s captivating, when Jesus was on the cross there was a criminal hanging close to Him, being killed also. This man had done a great deal of wrong, carried on with a daily existence that he wasn’t glad for, however…
