Have you heard that life begins at the end of your comfort zone? Put this in a prophetic instruction context: “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found…
Mahatma Gandhi said: “It is better to allow our lives to speak for us than our words. God did not bear the cross only two thousand years ago. He bears it today, and he dies and is resurrected from day to day. It would be a poor comfort to the world if it had to depend on a historical God who died two thousand years ago. Do not, then, preach the God of history, but show him as he lives…
Why not consider making this an attitude? I mean, giving thanks in all things! Offering gratitude implants happiness and versatility into your everyday life. Indeed, each uprightness separated from appreciation is damaged and limps along the profound street. In other words, without giving thanks to God always, your faith turns into an empty strict practice, and your adoration for others bites the dust, leaving you feeling depleted of euphoria and acting like a saint. In everything, give thanks to God….
In Proverbs 14:6, we heard that “Knowledge is easy to him who understands?” Yes, what of the promise of Jesus on prayers? Jesus promised, Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you (Matthew 7:7). Undoubtedly, this is a promise to the sincere pleader, the one who understands. Put, who understands will always pray with understanding! That’s it!!!
Emmanuel Katongole said: “We need new visions of community, of society, … This can only emerge out of a deep practice of lament, of turning to God, of turning to one another in solidarity. Then, your young men and women will see visions and the old men and women will dream dreams of a new future. We need this desperately. The old world has run its course. You cannot polish things up a little bit and pretend that everything will…
Have you not heard that; “Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.” (Psalm 20:7, NIV). A contemporary interpreter would say; “Some trust in money and some in their job. Some trust in what the economists say, but we trust in the God who created it all.” Are you getting it? Trust God, the Jehovah Jireh, ‘the Lord, our Provider.’ The ONLY ONE WHO GIVES SEED AND BOUNTIFUL HARVEST….
Why do I need to remind you of right input to trusting God? Is sowing-seeds for everyone? You should recall that without an adequate understanding of harvesting, you will indeed struggle with your knowledge of sowing-seeds! As a lucky-breaks attitude is not scriptural, a gracious approach may take ‘many days’ before you’ll get a return; before you enter your harvest! The sowing-seeds strategy will help you to overcome the get-rich-quick mentality (GRQM). Remember, the GRQM remains unscriptural. Therefore, with sowing…
As a believer you need to invest in many things! Why do we have the harvest? What is the right input to trust God? How old are you? Are you still thinking of investing? Do you remember the Scripture that says: “If you wait for perfect conditions, you will never get anything done” (Ecclesiastes 11:4 TLB). Gaining an understanding of investment will recall that faith is a risk that you need to take without hesitation. Is it about a lucky…
Yes, have you heard that evil shall bow: “The evil will bow before the good, And the wicked at the gates of the righteous.” (Proverbs 14:19). The evil will bow before the good: In this current age, it frequently feels that the evil win and in some cases win over the good. With genuine intelligence, Solomon advises us that ultimately evil will bow in submission before the good. At last, the evil shall now, recognise and subject to the good. The figure utilised here is…
Certainly, “A quick-tempered man acts foolishly, And a man of wicked intentions is hated.” (Proverbs 14:17). Wisdom taught us many things to include that the fool raged; here, his quick temper leads him to act out his foolishness. What? Yes, the wise have the self-control to not react immediately and out of bad character. Yes, with a quick tempered-individual, meaning, an individual with a ‘short of nostrils:’ indeed, because, when an individual is angry, the nose is contracted, and drawn up towards…
