God’s Faithfulness to the Fully Committed

When your heart is fully committed to God, every step you take will inevitably be guided and guarded by Him.
“The eyes of the Lord search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him…” (2 Chronicles 16:9 KJV)
These are two points to remind you of God’s faithfulness to the fully committed, not just by their words but their deeds as well:
1. “Enter in by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter in by it. Narrow is the gate, and restricted is the way that leads to life! Few are those who find it.” (Matt. 7:13-14 KJV).
The LORD will make sure that you are steered back onto his “narrow” pathway if you should stray away from it at any point due to affliction.
The Lord will be your help in times of trouble to make this possible.
The Psalmist (46:1-3) says “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we won’t be afraid, though the earth changes, though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas; though its waters roar and are troubled, though the mountains tremble with their swelling. Selah”.

As one who is in fellowship with His Holy Spirit, He will also give you the ability to discern what is of Him and what is not so that you know when you are on a path He has not led you on.

“So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions.” (Gal. 5:16-17 NLT).

God’s will is that you live and walk guided by the Holy Spirit not by your own carnal longings and desires which is under the control of Satan who entices the flesh to take the “wide gate” or “broad way”. This pathway is pleasing to the flesh or carnal nature because they offer what appear to be easy and quick benefits, in the long term however one realises that the so called benefits were short lived, resulted in affliction or heartache and discouragement.

2. The Lord will ensure that you part with those you are in alliance with who

a)do not have the same call of God as you do.

b)are likely to be a hindrance to you one way or another. This is because they could be agents of conflict or contention directly or through others associated with them.

Abraham (then called Abram) had left Haran (Gen 12) with his nephew Lot, travelled with him to Egypt where Abraham’s riches including livestock had increased. Together Abraham and Lot had a large amount of livestock and there came a time that living together and grazing their animals proved difficult as the land was crowded as other communities lived there as well. In addition their herdsmen had began to quarrel among themselves. Abraham took the wise decision to separate from Lot saying

“..Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if [thou wilt take] the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if [thou depart] to the right hand, then I will go to the left…” (Gen. 13:9 KJV).

When we study scriptures closely, it is evident that Abraham’s call by God out of his country, Haran (Gen. 12) did not include his relatives. He was married at the time so his wife was included. It was therefore not surprising that a time came for him and Lot to part and what better time than when the land they occupied could not hold their combined possessions.

Today let us pray, asking the LORD to reveal to us if we are aligned to the wrong person, people or group and the wise steps we should take to dissociate ourselves from those He exposes. We need to take care that when God tells us to do something or go a particular way we are not involving anyone He has not told us to partner with.

Brothers and sisters, when we are fully committed to the LORD, we must partner with Him as He guides and guards our lives and this means we are to walk in obedience and refused to compromise with evil. As long as we know what the truth is according to God’s Word, we should refuse at all costs to live by half truths and lies.

” said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, [then] are ye my disciples indeed; ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:31-32 KJV).

Today, let us resolve to continue living as dedicated soldiers of Christ marching on fully committed to our commander in chief, the Lord Jesus Christ, helping others to stay in line or line up with us as is the will of God.

You are blessed, determine to stay blessed!

Happiness is knowing… Our times are in His Hands.

Praise God that “My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.”(Psalm 31:15 KJV).

God knows the times and seasons for everything under the sun and He therefore has a reason for everything that happens to us. Brethren, God will not allow us to suffer more than we can bear.

The Psalmist (Psa.31:15) knew that God was in control and He could trust Him with regards to every situation including delivering him from his enemies and those that persecute him.

Whatever you may be facing or going through, God has gone ahead of you for He knew it would happen anyway. He has a strategy to deliver and restore whatever has been withheld or lost due to evil schemes. He says He will never leave you nor forsake you and that is a fact. Rest assured, God Almighty has a plan that He is outworking, trust Him and it will come to pass.

“11For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”(Jer.29:11 KJV).

His Promises, His Words

Sarah was promised a babe by God
in her old age but laughed in disbelief.
Without a promise uttered by God,
Hannah wept until she conceived,
much to her relief.
Promises in His Word God gives,
available for those ready to receive.

Prophetic Words, the Almighty gives,
even to the dismissive.
So be it barrenness in the womb
or in life’s pursuits, stand on
Yahweh’s Words of Truth and
He will never deny nor refuse.

He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands

“The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.”(Psalm 24:1 KJV).

The Most High God has the whole world in this hands. Pause for a moment and think about that! He is in absolute control of everything, and protects our coming and going, today, tomorrow and forever more (Psalm 121:8).

Yah knows what we do, think and say (Psalm 139:1-5) and He guides and holds us in the palm of His hands, contemplating this so blessed David that he said “Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it” (Psalm 139:6).

Our God never takes his eyes off us, this is how precious we are to Him (Isaiah 62). 
David acknowledged this by saying “I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well… 17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them!18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. (Psalm 139:14-18KJV).

The Word of the LORD states that if He is concerned with sparrows, how much more us? As He knows the number of hairs on our head so He knows and cares about every single thing that concerns us for we are more valuable than sparrows (Luke 12:6-7).

As we place the concerns (our agenda, worries etc…) of each day into His hands through prayer, we confirm to Abba Father that we trust Him as the one who has the whole world in His hands. The result? He will ensure each day unfolds according to His perfect will, so that we play our part in His World.

Inspirational Prose for Today

We have to play our part in allowing God’s sovereign will (His manifested Control) to become a reality on earth and it starts with total surrender of our lives to Him as true worshippers available for Him to use us. 

On a personal level, when we make prayer a lifestyle God is indeed always in control of our lives, because we come in agreement with Him for His purposes in our lives. 

I hope this poetic testimonial ministers to you today and be sure to have a blessed day whatever you are planning to do!


Note: “God is in Control” is a poem included in part 2 of my two Part Books under category “Intimacy with God & Life in His Service” released for sale next week.

Gotcha!! God’s unlikely helpers along your destiny path

Jesus-Helps
There are certain people God will keep in your life all of the time, others He will allow to come and go, and some will stay until such a time as the purpose for which God sent them is over.
God may allow difficult and offensive people in your life because through them, He plans to transform you by exposing sins, iniquities and weaknesses in you by His Spirit of conviction. This is a blessing because then you can acknowledge your sins in humility and He will fulfil his promise of cleansing you from all unrighteousness (1John 1:9) and prune you so that you bear more and lasting fruit (John 15).
God may have noticed that you have a “backpack” of filthy attitudes, unforgiveness, compromise in your Christian walk, hatred or lovelessness etc… that are weighing you down and preventing you from standing upright before Him and it is Mr or Mrs/Miss so and so through circumstance X that He has chosen to jolt you back to an upright position of righteousness to reinstate you on the path He has for you, or to ensure you fulfil your destiny!
Therefore Brethren, in your affliction at the hands of certain people, “LORD have mercy!” is the cry that is likely to penetrate from your lips of anguish and pain, but as God will not leave you nor forsake you when you go through affliction, you will soon be shouting “Hallelujah look what the LORD has done!” when you testify that what appeared as evil has been out worked by God for His good.
God will only smile and say “gotcha!!” for His love and faithfulness knows no bounds. He is a God of strategies who can use the most unlikely people, your enemies or offenders to bless you! Indeed God always has the last word in the lives of His children!
Looking at my life I thank Him that He does, do you?
You are blessed determine to stay blessed!

The Power & Timing of God’s ideas 


“There is nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come!”Victor Hugo

I see this quote as having more depth and meaning in a Christian context.
In the fullness of time God sent His son Jesus Christ.

This was God’s great and powerful idea at His perfect timing, to come to earth as the all powerful God in the person of Jesus Christ. This is how God took back His possession, Yes you and I !
A Man of War, Jehovah Gibbor through this idea came to fight a battle on our behalf and took us from the clutches of Satan by redeeming us from our sins.
How awesome,
How touching

Oh how loving is that !

Yes, God came as man in the flesh to reconcile the world back to Himself.

What a genius is our God, the greatest of all! His ideas are incomparable in greatest to those of humans, the created. Yes those He created!

God has many powerful ideas that manifest as plans for you and me attainable through Christ and in the fullness of time.
Yes, at different times during our life He brings them to fruition, they germinate from seed, emerge as stems with leaves, flowers and fruit ready for the picking and fragranced with heavenly scents that bring healing and restoration to us and those we encounter. God’s ideas are no small thing for they are simultaneously for individual, family, community, national and world transformation.
So you see God’s ideas are powerful and indeed exert unmatchable power when their time of unraveling comes!
He has multitudes for you. Are you seeking Him daily and fervently to know what they are ?
It is never too late to be a diligent seeker of His ideas. God is patient and a redeemer of time lost as other things. He is a God of second chances.
While you partner with Him to outwork His ideas for you, you manifest His powerful creativity and you declare Him as the all powerful God of all!
So what are you waiting for?
Have an exciting day of discovery and recovery of His powerful ideas for you, indeed the set time is now!

You are blessed, determine to stay blessed!

God’s Faithfulness to the Fully Committed

When your heart is fully committed to God, every step you take will inevitably be guided and guarded by Him.

“The eyes of the Lord search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him…” (2 Chronicles 16:9 KJV)

These are two points to remind you of God’s faithfulness to the fully committed, not just by their words but their deeds as well:

1. “Enter in by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter in by it. Narrow is the gate, and restricted is the way that leads to life! Few are those who find it.” (Matt. 7:13-14 KJV).

The LORD will make sure that you are steered back onto his “narrow” pathway if you should stray away from it at any point due to affliction.

The Lord will be your help in times of trouble to make this possible.
The Psalmist (46:1-3) says “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we won’t be afraid, though the earth changes, though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas; though its waters roar and are troubled, though the mountains tremble with their swelling.

God is Always True to His Word  

  
I don’t know what you are waiting on the LORD for, but I have a message for you today: I sense the LORD is saying continue abiding in Him, trusting Him and He will bring it to pass His WAY.
“I have spoken it, I will bring it to pass” Isaiah 46:11.

In 1994 I sensed the LORD saying that He has called me to “write and bear witness” of Him, six years later in 2000 at a prophetic conference one of the prophets prophesied that God has called me to write, He will give me what to write and that I will write many books. I praise God that I am walking fully in this prophetic Word, with my first book due to be released on 30th April (now on pre-order).

Therefore whether the Word was given directly to you, through a world renowned or seasoned Prophet or a fellow believer in Christ who hears from God, it will surely come to pass. Our God cannot lie and His Word is life giving, transforming and sets in motion as well as propels His children forward into the fulfilment of His predestined plans.

As we know God does not speak for the sake of speaking; God’s Word whether the written Word (Bible) or spoken prophetic Word is “Alive and Active”  (Heb. 4:12) and is therefore bound to bear fruit or be productive for His glory. 
These two scriptures among others illustrate this point very well: 
1 Samuel 3:19 – God did not let none of the Words He spoke through Prophet Samuel go unfulfilled in his lifetime. 
Isaiah 55:10-11 – 10“The rain and snow come down from the heavens and stay on the ground to water the earth. They cause the grain to grow, producing seed for the farmer and bread for the hungry.

11It is the same with my word I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it.(NLT).

So dear Brethren, let us always be expectant with joy in relation to what God has in store for us. We may know only some of His plans for us personally but there is much more; 
“No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.” (1 Corinthians 2:9 NLT).

In addition the Bible is full of promises for God’s children; it is time to consciously receive them by faith and declare them over our personal lives if we are not doing so already.

Be encouraged! 
“You shall live in Joy & Peace..”. (Is. 55:12).

You are blessed, determine to stay blessed!
