BE HUMBLE
-Pride is to make yourself better than others and higher than others.
James 4:6-8 says,
“But he gives more GRACE. Therefore he says, God RESISTS the PROUD, but gives GRACE unto the HUMBLE.
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…”
Then 1 Peter 5:5-6 tells us,
Likewise, you younger, SUBMIT yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be SUBJECT one to another, and be clothed with HUMILITY: for God resists the PROUD, and gives GRACE to the HUMBLE.
HUMBLE yourselves therefore UNDER the MIGHTY HAND of God, that he may EXALT you in due time:
-Whosoever God exalts is still humble, but whosoever exalts himself is still proud.
Welcoming each day should be a thankful moment in our life because we weren’t swallowed by the chaos and disasters of the previous year(2020)
Many would be surprise to see others again elevating, promoting, moving forward, succeeding, getting new employments etc etc and you…. NO… None of these things are happening to you, your case is different.
Now check mate yourself, scan your daily activities properly probably you don’t have enough time for yourself and GOD but others, by this I mean you’re always interested in people’s business, lives and all. Even your time for prayer, fasting and reading the Holy Bible is limited or even meditating on the scriptures but we’re warned from time in memorial in…… *Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.*
So if we want to succeed or be who we wanna be draw near to GOD and HE will draw to you.
And also in….
*Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.*
When our actions and daily activities is pleasing to God then Success, progress, elevation and all levels of positivity belongs to you.
This new year allow HIM to come into your everything and see.
*Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.*
I WILL LIFT UP MY EYES UNTO THE HILL FROM WHENCE COMETH MY HELP, MY HELP COMETH FROM THE LORD WHO MADE THE HEAVENS AND EARTH.
Stay bless
Have a wonderful new month and year

Proverbs 24:1-18.
Do not be envious of evil men, Nor desire to be with them; For their heart devises violence, And their lips talk of troublemaking. He who plots to do evil Will be called a schemer. The devising of foolishness is sin, And the scoffer is an abomination to men. Do not lie in wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; Do not plunder his resting place; For a righteous man may fall seven times And rise again, But the wicked shall fall by calamity. Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, And do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles; Lest the Lord see it, and it displease Him, And He turn away His wrath from him.

Our desires,goals,and aspirations from now on,should be to please God in every way possible,with every fiber of out being,that He is so happy with us,that like Job,He can say have you considered my servant………….(insert your…

What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me? I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord . I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
Psalms 116:12‭-‬15 KJV
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Romans 12:1‭-‬2 KJV
Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
1 Peter 1:13‭-‬16 KJV
For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good? But and if ye suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
1 Peter 3:12‭-‬15 KJV

God sees,and knows everything. Plus He hears everything, He even knows your thoughts, before you think it.

“For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad”. (Mark 4:22 KJV).

“For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad”. (Luke 8:17 KJV).

“For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops. And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him”. (Luke 12:2‭-‬5 KJV).

“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need”. (Hebrews 4:12‭-‬16 KJV).

FINALLY

“O Lord , thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.

For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord , thou knowest it altogether. Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.

Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee. For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.

For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain. Do not I hate them, O Lord , that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.

Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting”. [Psalms 139:1‭-‬24 KJV].

Be not Deceived by Wrongdoings
+Some of us think that because no one sees us when we do wrong, or hear the evil thoughts we think toward others that we will get away with those wrongdoings.
+God sees it and He hears it and He will hold us responsible and accountable for all of our wrongdoings.
1 Sam 16:7
…for man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart.
Hebrews 4:13
…but all things are na

ked and opened unto the eyes of Him (God) with whom we have to do.

Luke 5::22
But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, what are you reason about in your hearts?
+My prayer for us is that we continue to think His thoughts toward others, speak His Words one to another, and do those things to each other that are pleasing in God’s sight.
•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!

“YOU CAN HANDLE IT.

You can handle this. Oh yes, WITH GOD, you can handle it. Because of Him, you can already claim victory over whatever you may face the next day. Because of Him, you don’t have to fear what the next day holds. Because of Him, you don’t have to fret over your enemies. Because of Him, you don’t have to worry about who is trying to halt your progress and block your blessings. Because of Him, feelings of solitude do not have to rule your spirit. Because of Him, you do not have to remain spiritually and emotionally malnourished and fatigued.

Tomorrow may not be easy for some of you. Many of you are being fought by the enemy because you are genuine, sincere, and serious about your love for Christ, and because you are serious about your love for Christ and living for Him, the devil is serious about pursuing you.

DON’T FEAR.

JESUS is a friend, a provider, a supplier, a defender, a protector, a guide, a replenisher, OUR HELPER.

He will fight FOR you. He will provide. All He asks is that you just live for Him, love Him, listen to Him, obey Him, seek Him, place Him first, be a light and tell others about Him. Don’t be anxious about tomorrow, next week, next month, or next year because God will be there. So again, I say you can handle this. WITH GOD, you can handle it.

Overcoming Evil with the Goodness of God
Romans 12:21
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
+The Goodness of God in us is Greater than all the evil that could ever come again is.
Matthew 5:44-45
44 But I say unto you, LOVE your enemies, BLESS them that curse you, DO GOOD to them that hate you, and PRAY for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45 That you may be the children of your Father which is in heaven…
+For the Glory of Jesus treat your enemies like friends.
+As we live by every Word of God, The Lord will Divinely Intervene and deals with our enemies on our behalf. Hallelujah!
•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!

The Word of God is different than other words. Every word of God’s Word is stuffed full of power and anointing. And when it hits your mind and it hits your heart and it hits your spirit, there’s like a little mini explosion that goes on in there that starts blowing those obstacles out of the way.

When we Speak Words of Love and Faith, our Words will be Empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Proverb 18:21

Death and life are in the power of the TONGUE…

Mark 11:23

For verily I SAY unto you, That whosoever shall SAY unto this mountain, Be you removed, and be you cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he SAYS shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he SAYS.

+Let us all be mindful of what we speak and how we speak.

+Words have creative power. Let us speak the promises of God in every situation, and not speak bad and negative.
Matthew 13:36-37

” But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

For by your words you shall be justified, and by your words you shall be condemned”.
•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!

Only Fear (Reverence) God

Joshua 1:9

Have not I commanded you? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be dismayed: for the LORD your God is with you anywhere you go.

2Timothy 1:7

For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Luke 10:19

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

1Corinthians 15:57

But thanks be to God, Who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

-When you fear (Reverence) God the enemy (satan) and his entire team become afraid of you.

-There is no lack to them that fear the Lord, Psalm 34:9.

There is nothing more important than going after God with your whole heart. It’s the answer to everything. The more you seek Him, the more blessed you’ll be, not only in spiritual things but also in natural things.

+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

The First Christmas Gift

Let us not forget the first Christmas gift. The first Christmas gift was the gift of Love from God, and it is still available for us today. An unconditional love that has no boundaries, it keeps no records of wrong. No matter where you are in life, God can and will be there…whether you are the lost, the lonely, the hurt, the sick, the good, the bad, the broken hearted, it doesn’t matter how ugly the situation you may be in, stop and know God’s love is but a moment away… .Jeremiah 29:11…For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)

God’s Christmas gift to you was determined…even before the world was made! God had already chosen us to be his “through our union with Christ”, so that we would be holy and without fault before him. Because of his love, God had already decided that through Jesus Christ he would make us his children—this was his pleasure and purpose. Let us praise God for his glorious grace, for the free gift he gave us in his dear Son! (Ephesians 1:4-6)

Christmas is a joyous occasion, where gifts & love are shared with our family and friends and loved ones, especially the children. Let us also tell them about God’ love, this is a good time to tell our children about the very first Christmas gift…and let’s face it… There would be no Christmas without Christ, so let’s not forget Him. The same joy you see in your children’s faces as they open their gift/s… is the same joy seen in all of heaven, when you first believed in Christ.

Luke 15:7… I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
James 1:12…Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
Romans 8:28…And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him….

Christmas is all about the Love …God gave a gift to the ones He loves and you give a gift to the ones you love. So let us not forget to share the love of God through His son Jesus Christ and live for eternity. For the material gifts you give, will soon fade away and will be nothing more than a distant memory. But God’s love is forever, it always protects, always trust, always hopes, always perseveres…(1Cor13:7)

I do pray that you all will have a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year.

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. 2Cor13:14

Job 23:10-17 KJV

But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined. Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth. For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him.

Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him. For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me: Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he covered the darkness from my face.

“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.

Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. If ye love me, keep my commandments”.(John 14:1‭-‬15 KJV).

THE RIGHT WAY
Proverbs 14:12 says,
“There is a way which seems right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death”.

Man’s preconceptions of God always prevent him from having the right relationship with God. However,When it comes to God, It is NEVER about what we think of Him. It is always about what God says of Himself.
We must all learn to accept God forWho He is and not for who we want Him to be or how we want Him to be.
Jer 29:13 And all of you shall seek me, and find me, when all of you shall search for me with all of your heart.
Matthew 6:33 says,to seek Him first.. HAVE YOU SEEK HIM? Have a blessed day.

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land”. (2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV).

“This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us”. (1 John 1:5‭-‬10 KJV).

Josh 1:7 says,”Only be strong and very courageous (in God’s Word), that you may observe to do everything accordingly. Turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper in it every where you go”.
When you make this type of commitment to obey and live by every word of God, then everything that pertain to life, Godliness, health, prosperity and your security become your abundant reward.

These tremendous blessings become the byproducts of your commitment to obey God. Therefore, Continue to be steadfast in your commitment to obey God ,by living by every Word of God.

The Hidden Power of Confession

What do you usually think of when you hear the word “confession”? Many people think first of the definition that has a negative connotation, being forced to admit you have done something wrong. But when we agree with God’s Word by “confessing” it out loud, the result is always positive.

An acquaintance of mine says we cannot defeat Goliath with our mouths shut. When David was preparing to do battle with the giant Goliath, he ran toward him, confessing out loud what he believed the end result of the battle would be: “This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand… “(1 Sam. 17:46 AMP).

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?” (Romans 10:9‭-‬14 KJV).

This is a good example of how we should approach the enemies in our own lives. We must open our mouths and speak the Word of God.

I strongly encourage you to confess the Word of God out loud daily. Each time a thought comes to your mind that does not agree with God’s Word, confess the truth of His Word out loud, and you will find that the power of the Word will overcome the lie.

Prayer Starter: God, I know that Your Word is powerful…nothing can stand against it. Every time I find myself in a difficult situation, remind me to confess Your Word out loud.

And to speak the word of God, you must study the word of God, repeatedly and attentively.

Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!
