Reaching Our Destination

The Children of Israel had a destination to reach. They were bound for Canaan and ultimately Zion. They had lots of ups and down on their way since leaving Egypt. There were times when God was upset with them and there were times that God was happy with them. Sometimes they were victorious and sometimes not victorious. We also as Children of God have specific desires and goals. Today I want to encourage you that if God has given you a vision or destination do not give up on it. Keep pressing forward and be careful not to go astray and to doubt. Do not give up no matter how the obstacles look like. God will always be with us just as He has always been with us. There is no spiritual force that is greater than God. All forces are under the feet of our Lord Jesus Christ. Do not fear do not be weary, only God has the power of life and death. He has got your back. Keep pressing forward into the inheritance provided for you by the Lord.

He Protects

Ladies and gentleman, it is true. God does protect His own. If you desire protection from any force that may come against you, God is the answer. He is the one who constantly protects us. If we move ahead of God and never allow Him to surround us, we will definitely miss out on his protection. If you are a child of God I encourage you not to look for protection anywhere else but look for protection from our Father. We are safe under the shadow of His wings. Rest and be at peace knowing that God has got your back.

Don't explain yourself

There are some things that only you can understand. There are things in life that people will never understand about you. Trying to explain yourself will not always work. Your life as an individual in very unique and sometimes trying to explain yourself will derail you. People always have a plan for your life, parents have plans for their children, your friends have plans for your life, your boss has plans for your life and you spiritual leaders also have plans for your life. Unfortunately sometimes people will be disappointed about the way you are doing things. Trying to explain what is happening in your life and the plans God has for you is not always helpful. People want answers that will suit them and unfortunately some answers are just not enough for people This week I want to encourage you to keep quite, mind your business and work with your hands 1 Thessalonians 4:11 “...and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your h...

Be careful of the "Word"

The Word of God in the Bible is very important to us. The Word of God directs helps give us direction. Without the Word of God our amour would be incomplete. The Word of God is the sword of the Spirit and we use it to slice the enemy into pieces. God even exalts the Word of God above himself. God always makes sure that His Word is accomplished On the other hand the enemy also knows the Word of God, he used the same Word of God to tempt Jesus. The truth is the enemy can still use the Word of God to lead you astray. In order to hold on to the correct Word of God, we must be in the right position/ right stand with God. Sometimes we go astray because we do not live according to the correct Word for our situation. For example God may say "repent and I will forgive you" but instead we say "I am more than a conquer". It is very important to listen to the Holy Spirit and apply the correct Word in our lives. In order for the Word of God to be living in our life, we have...

Trust in man Vs God

Micah 7:5 "Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom" Jeremiah 9:4 "Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders." Its very important not to put our trust in people. No matter how good a person may be, the bottom line is they are not God. For that very reason we must not put our confidence in man. Man is not like God. Man changes and God does not change. Humans will disappoint you even if they do not intend to do so. Work hand in hand with people, love people, forgive people but do not put your confidence in them.This week I encourage you to put your confidence in God, it will help keep you in perfect peace and help you deal with disappointment Its a good thing to trust God with your friends and family. Trust God that He will cause them to do the right thing or treat...

Fearful

Most of the time as human beings we are filled with fear. We fear to be ourselves, we are fearful concerning our future, we are fearful concerning our families, we fear carrying out God's will, the list goes on and on. I am a man who is attacked by fear as well. I am not immune to fear. This world I live in is sometimes very uncertain. I never know how people are going to react to me or how certain events are going to unfold. My only hope is in God. Even though I may be full of fear, one thing for sure is that God promises He will never put us to shame. God is not going to allow fear to limit me. He gives me victory over fear every time it comes. This week I want to encourage you to trust God to overcome fear for you. If you have fear concerning anything you feel God would like you to do, I encourage you to just do it.

What Happened

The state of the church is starting to become like the days of the Pharisees. Laws and rules are emphasized more than following the leadership of the Holy Spirit. When Jesus was on earth He mentioned said in Mar 2:17 “ …I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” We are called to help those who are in need of the Gospel, we are called to love people and lead them to Jesus. I think the church today needs to learn to give people the benefit of the doubt. When Jesus was on earth the people He was angry with most of the time were the Pharisees. They were supposed to be the ones who knew and practiced the law but they were using the law to hurt people and push their own agendas. I sometimes wonder where all the rules and laws in the Christian community come from; here are examples of false rules and laws in the Christian community • “if a church is big it means God is there” • “if people receive healing in a church it means God is there” • “if someone performs miracl...
