HAPPY NEW YEAR

Going into 2018″……let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God”; {Hebrews 12:1‭-‬2}

As we move forward in 2018 remember these Words of the Lord. 

In Isaiah 43:18-19

18 Remember all of you not the former things, neither consider the things of old. 

19 BEHOLD, I WILL DO A NEW THING; now it shall spring forth; shall all of you not know it? I will even make  a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. 

+Prepare yourselves for the Lord to do a NEW THING in you, through you and for you in 2018. 

+God will make a way for you in the WILDERNESS that you are going through. 

Wilderness: empty, unproductive and difficulties you are experiencing. 

+God will make a RIVER for you in the desert. God’s River for you in your desert provides all that pertains to life, godliness, prosperity and good success.  

•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our faith, trust and confidence in Him. 

•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

TRUST

Are you trusting God or self? Are you trusting your Bishop , pastor,or priest ? How about  family  or friends ? Do you trust  your doctor , lawyer,accountant  or even your  teacher’s  over God. Who created  you and knows the plans for  your life  before  you  were  born. 

 “Thus says the Lord : “Cursed is the man who trusts in man And makes flesh his strength, Whose heart departs from the Lord . For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, And shall not see when good comes, But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, In a salt land which  is not inhabited. “Blessed  is the man who trusts in the Lord , And whose hope is the Lord . For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit”.{Jeremiah 17:5‭-‬8}.

Another  scripture  clearly states  ,

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones”. (Proverbs 3:5‭-‬8).

 So if God owns, and controls  everything then, why would  you trust  men,with titles  and degrees  over God,who is wiser than them all.How do expect  God to trust you when you  don’t  trust Him.

“Do not put your trust in princes, Nor in a son of man, in whom there  is no help. His spirit departs, he returns to his earth; In that very day his plans perish. Happy is  he who has the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in the Lord his God”, (Psalms 146:3‭-‬5).

Why are you leaning  on your own understanding , Richard  Baxter said,”Self is the  most treacherous  enemy,and the most  insinuating  deceiver  in the world”.

However, Psalm  37:3-5 says, “Trust in the Lord , and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord , And He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord , Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass”.

There  is  no  peace,in your life,when you don’t  trust in God,as Isaiah  26:3-6 said , 

“You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on  You, Because he trusts in You. Trust in the Lord forever, For in YAH, the Lord , is everlasting strength”

Again  I ask, who or what are you trusting ? your self , your education , your job ,friends , family , doctors , lawyers,etc. And you or they fail then what? You turn to God ,when you run out of options . 

LISTEN,  GOD SHOULD be your only  option ,and  your first option  not your parents , boss,nor pastor . 

FINALLY  : AS 2  CORINTHIANS 1:8-10 SAYS,

“For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of our trouble which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened beyond measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life. Yes, we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead, who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver us; in whom we trust that He will still deliver us”.
