DELIGHT IN THE LORD

DELIGHT IN THE LORD

God wants us to love Him more each day and He will give us the desires of our hearts. Let us put God first in our lives and He will take care of all our needs.

Ps 37:4 Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Christianity is always about developing a strong healthy relationship with God rather than getting things from God. We need to get a proper and right perspective of God. Some of us think that we have to beg and twist God's arm in order to get anything good from Him. On the other hand, others think that we can get anything from God when we ask. I believe God's heart should be our hearts. God wants our hearts to be devoted to Him, responding to His love, sacrifice and commitment toward us. God is a lover who desires His children to love Him in return. We need to love God more than "things" because He knows what we need. God will give us the desires of our hearts because He loves us. Like every parents who love their children and desire to give them good things, God desires to give us good things in this life.

We need to be in love with God more than anything and He will give us the desire of our hearts.

SEEK THE LORD

SEEK THE LORD

God promises to take care of all our needs when we seek Him. Let us trust in God in everything because God is always faithful to provide. We will receive good things from God when we seek Him.

Ps 34:10 "The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing)

God's Words are always true and proven. He promises that if we seek His face, His will, His purpose and His plan, He will supply all of our needs. What does seeking God involve? We don't need to go to a remote mountain to seek God. We can seek God wherever we are because God is omnipresent. He is everywhere and we need to be aware of His presence around us. We can communicate to Him through prayers and worship. We can offer a prayer to God in our home, office, car, park or shopping malls etc. God is looking for people who are seeking Him everyday to know His heart.

Ask God to provide because He has promised for those who seek Him will not lack no good thing.

LIVING WITH GREATER FAITH

LIVING WITH GREATER FAITH

Faith is believing in God for what we do not see at the present. Faith is receiving from God for what we do not have a present. Let us live by faith and we will receive more promises and blessings from God.

(Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see").

I recently read a book called "Faith" by Phil Pringle and he made some statements that really touched me. He said, "Faith is when we cannot see it with our natural eyes, but believe in our hearts. If we are able to see what is in front of us, it is not longer faith". God told Abraham that he would become the father of many nations even though both he and Sarah were beyond childbearing age. Abraham believed God’s promises even when it seemed impossible in the natural sphere.

18 Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, “So shall your offspring be.”[a] 19 Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah’s womb was also dead. 20 Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, 21 being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. Romans 4:18-21

I remember many years ago, that I received a prophecy about travelling around the world and sharing God's love. At first, questions were spinning around my head, "how it is possible for me to travel around the world?" "How can I afford to fly around the world" and "How to build contact with people and churches around the world?" I was looking at God's vision for my life through my natural eyes rather than through the eyes of faith. Over the years, God slowly made His vision for my life a reality by opening many doors for me to travel within Australia and overseas. I can only look back in awe toward God and His power to make the impossible things into possible in my life. I want to encourage all of us to live by faith in the Words of God.

God wants us to believe and receive first in the spiritual realm before we can obtain His provisions and blessings in the natural realm.

FOLLOW HIS FOOTSTEPS

FOLLOW HIS FOOTSTEPS

God prospers us when we obey His calling upon our lives. Let us follow His footsteps and leading each day. We are in good hands when we are in God's Hands.

John 10:27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.

Are you a good follower? We become good leaders when we learn how to follow God. God wants us to follow Him because He wants to lead us in the right direction for our lives. We prosper when we make the right decisions and choices in life. However, we also suffer when we make wrong decisions and choices in life. God does not want us to live a life of regrets but a life of blessings by heeding His voice. We don't have to wander through this life in confusion or live aimlessly because we can be guided through God's words, counsel and Holy Spirit. Let us learn to follow Jesus each day so we can enter into a new level of blessings and prosperity in everything we do for God.

Follow Jesus' footsteps together because He knows the good way and path for us.
