LET IT GO NOW.

'Cast out this LET IT GO NOW and her son.' Genesis 21:10 When Abraham tried to hurry the plan of God and fulfill it through well-intention but misguided human effort, Ishmael was born.  Perhaps you have tried something similar yourself.  We all have our 'Ishmael's' - a good idea that wasn't a God idea,  and it can complicate your life.  So God told Abraham, 'Cast out this bondwoman and her son' (Genesis 21:10).  In other words: 'It's time to deal with your past and clean out your cupboard. This thing is holding you back, and until you deal with it you can't move forward to your destiny. Get it out of your life and don't look back!' Sometimes your miracle (Isaac) and your mistake (Ishmael) can live together for a while under the same roof. Things can be so good in one area of your life, yet so bad in another. But there comes a time when God says, 'Because of the plans I have for you, you must put this thing

7 LESSONS FROM THE BOAT WITH JESUS

Image
Matthew 14:23-31(NIV) 23  After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone,  24  and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it. 25  Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake.  26  When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear. 27  But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” 28  “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” 29  “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.  30  But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” 31  Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?” The text says Jesus constrained the disciples to get into the boat

FORGIVENESS; THE HIGHEST MANIFESTATION OF LOVE

Forgiveness is the highest sign of an ailment of love. The book of Mark says: And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.  26  But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses. "Mark 11:25-26 25" Whenever you stand to pray, forgive. Jesus was pointing out the need for forgiveness if faith and prayer are to work. We have heard a lot about faith, but not enough about forgiveness.  Forgiveness is the highest manifestation of love, being able to forgive people that offend you is an evidence of having perfect love. The love of those who find it difficult to forgive is not yet made perfect. Anyone who lives in unforgiveness will automatically be under the bondage of fear. Prayer of faith will not work without love. Your willingness to forgive those who hurt you is the evidence of the love of God in you 1 peter 3:7 “In the same way,

Taking care of the innerman

T he innerman * It's important to take care of our bodies, it is the temple of God * We can look great on the outside but the innerman also need to be taken care of *Our innerman is the reflection of who we are * We need to engage with the innerman so that we can overcome anything that comes our way * We have to make time in our busy lives to allow the holy spirit to touch our innerman * Make it a habit to strengthen the innerman daily! * The word of God must be fed daily to make us strong *We need to ask God to help us develop a relationship between Him and us *When we renew our innerman we will walk closely with God

My purpose will stand

I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say: My purpose will stand , and I will do all that I please. Isaiah 46:10 As believers, God has promised us victory. You may go through disappointments. At times, it seems like you’re far behind. But you’ve got to remind yourself, “God holds my future in the palm of His hand. He already knows the outcome. God never ends in defeat!” I’m going to come out of this better and stronger than ever before! Remember, He knows how it ends, and it ends in peace, joy and victory in every area of your life! 

Prayer of Sustenance and Protection [Isaiah 55]

"For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and do not return  there, but water the earth, and it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the water, so shall MY WORD be that goes forth from My mouth, It shall not return to Me void, but it shall ACCOMPLISH what l please. And it shall prosper in THE THING FOR WHICH I SENT IT. "   Isaiah 55:10,11 I thank God almighty for His sustenance and protection over your life and throughout the night. He gives His beloved sweet sleep and that we are grateful. Now l engage the word of the Lord above and declare that His word will work for you in Jesus name. May His word accomplish for you such as you need and desire. May He watch over His word in your life to perform it in Jesus name. May your womb incubate and bring forth Good things today. May His words in your mouth carry power such that what you declare shall be so. You shall go out with joy and be led out with peace. (Isaiah 55:12) May you

Who to put your trust. Life realities

Trust and relax knowing that God is in control A 12 year old boy walked to his father and said : Daddy  I want to tell you something that will make you relax. My eyes went dim. He asked; When you fly in an aircraft do you know the pilot? I answered in the negative. Then he followed; but you are usually relaxed? I said yes. He then asked, When you ride in a train do you see and know the driver? I said no. He then followed again but you are usually relaxed? I said yes. He asked again; When you ride in a bus do you know the driver? I said no. Then he followed but you relax in the bus and I answered yes. At this point he said so why do you entrust your life to humans and relax knowing they will take you to your destination, and yet do not trust and relax when you know God is in control?. I blinked! He concluded: Daddy, step out of your fear and relax. God the most experienced pilot and driver of your life is in control!
