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.

HE HOLDS EVERYTHING

HE HOLDS EVERYTHING

God holds everything together in our lives. God is in full control of our past, present and future. We can trust in God for everything in our lives.
Colossians 1:17: “He is before all things, and in him all things hold together”.

God holds everything together. He holds the climate, nations, economies and the universe in His hands. God is the one that formed and created everything we see and cannot see. He created the atoms that make up matter. He created the sun and moon that determine the weather and seasons. He created gravity on earth so that things do not float in the air. He holds time in His hands. He controls our past, present and future. We can trust God with everything because He holds everything together. Nothing happens or going to happen without His knowledge. He knows everything and we can trust in His wisdom, power and love. Do not be alarmed or disheartened by the bad news or depressing events in this world because God is in control of all things.

He holds everything together because He is in control of all things. Trust in God's greatness for your life and family today.

EVERY SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS

EVERY SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS

God has given us all spiritual blessing in Christ Jesus. Ask God for love, peace, joy, wisdom, miracles and the power of the Holy Spirit today.
Ephesians 1:3: "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ".

Whenever we go through trials, challenges or lack, we need remember that God has given to us every spiritual blessing through Christ. The spiritual blessings of God include joy, peace, faith, love, power, wisdom, healing, salvation, anointing, miracles, spiritual gifts and much more. God has given everything we need for this life on earth until we meet him face to face in heaven. We should boldly approach God and ask Him for everything we need for our lives, family, career, business and ministry. God releases His spiritual blessings as soon as we ask Him. Our heavenly father is always there for us to supply what we need. We are able to do all things because of the spiritual blessings and provision that God has freely given to us.

Do not allow anything to stop or hinder us in succeeding in this life because God is our helper and provider.

OVERCOMING FEAR

OVERCOMING FEAR

God is good at helping us overcome our fears so we can do extraordinary things for him. Make a decision today to step out in faith for God.
2 Timothy 1:7: “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline”.

God is good at helping us overcome our fears so we can become who God want us to be and do what God want us to accomplish. We can be confident and courageous as people of God because the Holy Spirit is living in us. God chose to dwell in His people rather than in a building. Wherever we go or whatever we do, the Holy Spirit is helping us to overcome our fears by filling us with the power of God.

Over the years, God has helped me overcome some fears in my life. My number one fear was speaking in public. I froze whenever I stood in front of people. I struggled to speak in front of crowds; I was lost for words and I became very nervous. I avoided any form of public speaking for many years. However, when I saw other Christians speaking boldly before people, I said to myself, “I can do what they do because the same Holy Spirit is living in me.” Therefore, I started to pray and practice public speaking as often as I could. I took every opportunity to stand before people and testify the goodness and greatness of God. I began to see the fruits of my public speaking because God was helping me.

Whatever fear we are facing today, allow God to convert our fear into strength because His power is living in us. We can bring blessings to many people by being and doing what God called us.

God is faithful to help us become more like Christ each day by living a life without fear.
