Life is what you make it

Heavy rains remind us of challenges in life. Never ask for a lighter rain. Just pray to God for a better umbrella. – That is attitude!

Life is not about finding the right person, but creating the right relationship, it’s not how we care in the beginning, but how much we care till the very end.

Some people always throw stones in your path. It depends on what you make with them. A Wall or a Bridge? – Remember you are the architect of your life.

Search for a good heart, but don’t search for a beautiful face. Coz beautiful things are not always good, but good things are always beautiful.

It’s not important to hold all the good cards in life. But it’s important how well you play with the cards you hold.
Often when we lose all hope & think this is the end, Remember God and pray, it’s just a bend, not the end.’ –

Have faith and have a successful life.
One of the basic differences between God and humans is, God gives, gives and forgives. But the human gets, gets, gets and forgets.
Be thankful in life…

If u think it is your alarm clock that woke you up this morning, try putting it beside a dead body and you will realise that it is the Grace of God that woke you up. If you are grateful to God, forward this to all your friends to inform them that it is JUST BY THE GRACE OF GOD that we are alive.

IT’S ONLY A TEST

“Beloved,think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to test you,as though some strange thing happened happened unto you”{1 Peter 4:12}. At times we wish and pray that we wouldn’t have to face aches,pains,trials,nor tribulation,but Jesus warned us in John 16:33 that,”…In the world ye shall have tribulation;but be of good cheer;I have overcome the world”.
Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ. But with most of them God was not well pleased, for their bodies were scattered in the wilderness. Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted. And do not become idolaters as were some of them. As it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.” Nor let us commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell; nor let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents; nor complain, as some of them also complained, and were destroyed by the destroyer. Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come. Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it,according to I Corinthians 10:1-13.
However, in 2 Timothy 3:12 it reminds us,”..and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution”. But we do get so tired of fighting the good fight of faith,but we just can’t get weary, that’s why it’s so important to pray for the saints,and encourage each other in the word,which is profitable for doctrine,for reproof,for correction,for instruction in righteousness,that the man and woman of God may be perfect,thoroughly furnished unto all good works.{2 Timothy 3:16~17}.
Most of the times,things happen, because of lust,greed,and covetousness ,as James tells us,” Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death. Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren”(James 1:12-16).
But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.
1Peter 5:10

PRAISES TO GOD

I will extol You, my God, O King; And I will bless Your name forever and ever. Every day I will bless You, And I will praise Your name forever and ever. Great is the Lord , and greatly to be praised; And His greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall praise Your works to another, And shall declare Your mighty acts. I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty, And on Your wondrous works. Men shall speak of the might of Your awesome acts, And I will declare Your greatness. They shall utter the memory of Your great goodness, And shall sing of Your righteousness. The Lord  is gracious and full of compassion, Slow to anger and great in mercy. The Lord  is good to all, And His tender mercies are over all His works. All Your works shall praise You, O Lord , And Your saints shall bless You. They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom, And talk of Your power, To make known to the sons of men His mighty acts, And the glorious majesty of His kingdom. Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And Your dominion endures throughout all generations. The Lord upholds all who fall, And raises up all who  are bowed down. The eyes of all look expectantly to You, And You give them their food in due season. You open Your hand And satisfy the desire of every living thing. The Lord  is righteous in all His ways, Gracious in all His works. The Lord  is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth. He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He also will hear their cry and save them. The Lord preserves all who love Him, But all the wicked He will destroy. My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord , And all flesh shall bless His holy name Forever and ever.
(Psalms 145:1-21 NKJV
)

WHY ARE YOU FIGHTING?

Why are you fighting with the devil? You can’t defeat him, but God can — as a matter of fact, he is already defeated. So why are you fighting with him? The Bible tells us on numerous occasions how to handle him. In Luke 4:8, Jesus, our perfect example, did not hesitate to tell Satan to get behind Him. So why aren’t you doing the same? In Matthew 16:23, Jesus told Satan in no uncertain terms, “Get thee behind me, Satan, thou art an offence unto me; for thou savorest not the things that are of God, but those that are of men.” Then in Jude 9, the Bible says, “Yet Michael, the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, THE LORD REBUKE THEE.” So why are you fighting and debating with him?

In James 4:7-8 the Bible says, “Submit yourselves, therefore to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands ye sinners, and purify your hearts, ye double-minded.” Therefore, if you are not operating in righteousness, then you are powerless against the devil’s devises and schemes. Remember, 1 Peter 5:8 tells us to, “Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary, the devil is like a roaring lion, walking about seeking someone to devour.” Therefore, it’s very important that when you recognize his tactics you use your power and authority that Jesus gives us to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you (Luke 10:19). You don’t need to fight, he is already defeated. First, when God kicked him out of heaven as Jesus tells us in Luke 10:18, “I beheld satan as lightning fall from heaven,” which confirms the account in Isaiah 14:12-15. Secondly, Jesus defeated Satan when He came to earth and give us the victory as we see in 1 Corinthians 15:55-58. “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ; Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.” There is no need to fight with the devil when he is already defeated. Romans 8:31-39, in summary, tells us that if God is for us who can be against us, who can condemn us, and nothing shall separate us from the love of God because we are more than conquerors through Him that love us, nor can anything separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Have you been fighting the devil by yourself? Have you realized that you no longer have to? Receive Jesus into your heart and you will also receive victory in Him. Visit the Salvation Page for more information on how to receive the Salvation of the Lord Jesus Christ.

All glory, honor, praise and thanks go to God for using me to deliver this message. I pray that He will give all who read this message the spiritual gifts necessary to comprehend and act upon His word. I exercise my power and authority in the name of Jesus to bind every tactic of the enemy that will try to stop, hinder, or prevent this word from reaching its intended people. I ask the Lord to loose the Holy Spirit and the Heavenly angels to secure this word so that it reaches its intended people, according to Matthew 16:19 and Luke 10:19 in the Omnipotent name of Jesus, Amen.

SIN IS THE DEVIL’S WEAPON

Sin is the devils only means or ways of captivating and controlling our hearts, soul, mind, and body, as a matter of fact our whole life. It’s his weapon of mass destruction,he uses the lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh, and the pride of life (1 John 2:16) to manipulate our wants, needs, and desires ,which eventually end up costing us something and ultimately leads to death.

Sin is the devils manuscript, blueprint, or plans to wreck your life, home, marriage, friends, even your family. Which eventually leads you against God’s will and plans for your life. Sin my friends is like a sore or sickness, that when left un-treated will fester and get worse until it ultimately kills you physically or spiritually, sometimes both.

Sin originated with satan (Isaiah 14:12-14) and has many names:Transgression is the divine boundary between good and evil. Iniquity is an act inherently wrong. Trespasses is the intrusion of selfishness into the realm of divine authority (Ephesians 2:1). Therefore, God had to remind us that we all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God. However being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus (Romans 3:23-24).

For the wages of sin is death (physically and spiritually), but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ, our Lord (Romans 6:23). Yes my friends God’s remedy for sin is His ultimate gift of His only begotten son Jesus Christ. All we are required to do is accept Jesus and believe that God has raised Him from the dead; then repent from all sins, turn away from sin, and just eradicate it out of your life and system.

It’s simple folks, rejecting Jesus Christ means you reject God, because Jesus is God’s gift to us for redemption of sins and eternal life (John 3:16). He is the only way, truth, and life ( John 14:6), and no one goes to God without going through Jesus. Are you interested in knowing Him?

All glory, praises, honor, and thanks go to God, for using me to deliver His message to His people, so that they will not perish because of lack of knowledge. May His grace, mercy, and peace be yours now and forever in Jesus Name, Amen.

THE ONLY WAY TO GOD

For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,as
I Timothy 2:5 says, and this is confirmed in,
John 14:6, 21, 23-24
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.” Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.  He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.
Proverbs 16:9
A man’s heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps.

Proverbs 14:12-15
There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death. Even in laughter the heart may sorrow, And the end of mirth may be grief. The backslider in heart will be filled with his own ways, But a good man will be satisfied from above. The simple believes every word, But the prudent considers well his steps.
Proverbs 16:25, 29
There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death. A violent man entices his neighbor, And leads him in a way that is not good.
Proverbs 19:21, 23
There are many plans in a man’s heart, Nevertheless the Lord ’s counsel—that will stand. The fear of the Lord leads to life, And he who has it will abide in satisfaction; He will not be visited with evil.
Proverbs 23:26
My son, give me your heart, And let your eyes observe my ways.
Accept Jesus and allow God to plan your life as He said in,
Jeremiah 29:11-14
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord , thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the Lord , and I will bring you back from your captivity….” get started by going to the top of this blog, click unto the salvation page and follow the instructions, then allow the Holy Spirit to lead and direct you for the rest of your life.

TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR MIND

Your thoughts controls your lifestyle, moods,and the choices you make.
Proverb 23:7
For as he thinks in his heart, so is he…
-The thoughts you think good or bad can eventually go from your mind to your heart and then to your body, and also to other areas of your life.
So God tells us in
Isaiah 26:3
“You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You”.
Therefore, Only think thoughts that are healthy.
Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, things that are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
-Remember thoughts can become beliefs, and beliefs can become a reality.
Continue to Take Control of Your Thoughts!
-Do not let negative and bad thoughts run uncontrollably in your mind.
-Remember you have the God given ability to control your thoughts.
Philippians 2:5
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
2 Corinthians 10:3-5
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
1 Corinthians 2:16
…we have the mind of Christ.
-This is your righteous and holy mind. The most powerful mind anyone could ever have.

Fruits make you healthy, wealthy and wise.

which ones are you feeding on,

and digesting into your system.

The fruits of the spirit is:

 love, joy,peace, long-suffering,

gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness,

self-control (Gal.5:22&23)… which leads to God.

 The fruits of the flesh is :

 adultery, fornication, sexual immoralities,

idolatry, hatred, strife, wrath, jealousy

and the list goes on (Gal.5:19-21) which leads to hell.

Look the choice is yours.

I am just letting you know you have options, choices or decisions that only you can make. I can only inform you and pray for you like the apostle Paul did.

‘I pray that your love may abound or increase more and more, (everyday) in the knowledge and all discernment (insight)of Jesus Christ. So that you will be able to discern or see the best way to be pure, blameless and holy until Jesus returns.

And that you will be filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes only through Jesus Christ. TO THE GLORY AND PRAISE OF GOD.(Phil.1:9-11)Amen.

Whats your choice life or death?…let me know, I am curious.
