Look to the Word!



Psalm 118:105 "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path."


God's word has always been a source of strength and comfort in my life. There were times when I felt how am I going to get through this or that. Only to look to the word of God and find the solution that I needed to get me through the day.


As I am writing this blog this morning, I do not know what you may be facing today.


But whatever it is, know that you can have peace IN any situation by allowing the word of God to rest in your heart today.


Take a few moments and find a favorite scripture of two and allow it to sink into your soul. My favorite is the 23rd Psalms.


"The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name sakes. Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil, my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord for ever." (kJV)


Be encourage and lifted up today by resting in the word of God.


IT IS GOING TO BE JUST ALL RIGHT TODAY!

Make your mark!

Hebrews 11:32 - 34 " And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and the Prophes; Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, excaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiantly in flight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens."




Make your mark?




The bible speaks about men and women of old who through faith did amazing and wonderful things despite the limitations and obstacles of their day. Because of their faith, their works are still being read about today.

Obedience Brings Blessings



Deuteronomy 8:1 "All the commandments which I command you this day you shall be watchful to do, that you may live and multiply and go in and possess the land which the Lord swore to give to your fathers."



Your obedience to the Instructions of the Lord will determine great significant blessings for you and future generations.



God is telling us today that If we obey his commandments that we are to receive the following:
(The following words and their meanings were taken from the Strong's Concordance.)

1) Live - to live means: to have life, remain alive, sustain life, live prosperously, live for ever, be quickened, be alive, be restored to life or health.

2) Multiply - to multiply means: to be or become great, many, much. or numerous.

3) Go in - to go in means: to go in, come, and enter.

4) Possess - to possess means: to seize, take possession of, inherit and occupy.

Therefore, whenever He speaks to us through his word or by His Spirit we will endeavor to obey the full instruction of the Lord.

For we know that when we obey his word, we will HAVE LIFE, LIVE PROSPEROUSLY, BE RESTORED TO HEALTH, BECOME GREAT AND MANY, ENTER AND TAKE POSSESSION OF ALL THAT HE HAS PROMISED US.

God's desires the best for all of us. Therefore in order for us to be blessed then we have to begin to obey his word.

Come up higher in obeying the instructions (word) of the Lord!

Live in the Overflow!


St. John 10:10 "The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows)." (Amp)


You were meant to live in the overflow.


All believers in Christ were meant to live in the overflow. Jesus came so that we can live life to the full till it overflows.


Are you living in the overflow?

Are you enjoying all that God has provided for you?

Are you receiving the best that life has to offer?

Are you overflowing in Joy, Peace, Love, and Prosperity?


Jesus came so that none of us can have any lack or spoil. It is the devil's desire to keep us in the lack or poverty of life.


Jesus desires that you have MORE JOY, MORE PEACE, MORE LOVE, MORE HEALTH, MORE ENERGY, MORE HAPPINESS, MORE LIFE, MORE PROSPERITY!


Determine in your heart today that you will live in the overflow with Jesus.


Declare with me today. "I WILL LIVE IN THE OVERFLOW OF ALL THAT GOD WANTS ME TO HAVE, TO BE, AND TO DO."


Live in the overflow today!

Do you have a vision for your life?


Habakkuk 2:2 "And the Lord answered me and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it." (KJV)


You may be reading this and wondering to yourself, "Do I have a vision for my life?" or "What is it that I see myself doing or becoming?"


If you are asking yourself any of these questions then there is an answer for you from the word of God. The bible tells us that Habakkuk the Prophet was standing on his watch and was waiting to hear from God and what he would say to him. (Hab. 1:1)


In order to get a vision for your life then you must understand that vision come from God. God is the source of your vision for your life. Therefore everything that you need to do and be in life will flow from a relationship that is connected to him.


Habukkuk positioned himself by waiting on God to reveal the thing that he was desiring in his heart.


Are you positioning yourself in Prayer?

Are you positioning yourself in the Word?

Are you positioning yourself in Fasting?

Are you positioning yourself to hear God?


God desires to reveal your personal vision for your life but you must position yourself for it.


What will be your answer when he ask you a question?


Here is what you should say:-


"Lord, what is the vision for my life? or Show me what is it that I need to be doing in this season?"


And watch what he will do in your life.


He will show up and then you will see clearly the vision that he has for you.

Faith that Rewards!


Hebrews 11:6 "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." (NIV)


There is faith that rewards and you can receive ALL that God has in store for you.


There are some keys here in this scripture that will open heaven's door of blessings for you today.


1) You must have faith in God - Faith is acting on the word of God, be it logos (written word) or rhema (voice of the Spirit) that is revealed to you. It is trusting God and Knowing that He is that He is.


There has to be a revelation on the inside of you that comes from walking with God and seeing him at work in your life. This walk produces faith or trust or confidence in knowing that God will come through because you have seen him deliver in the past.


2) You must be determined to seek God - Your faith must be the kind of Faith that is built on a relationship with your God that no matter what may come your way, you are determined to hold on to him and allow him to bring you into true and lasting success.


There is a faith that God loves. It is when you begin to push the envelope and say to yourself that there has to be more in life God has for me and I will seek him for it. God loves those who are not contend with a mediocre life but those who desire a richer, fuller, and joyous life.


3) You must believe that God has something GOOD FOR YOU when you show up - Your faith will do wonders when you believe that when you show up God has a blessing in store for you. He longs to bless you every chance he gets because he is a loving father who loves to bless his children.


Child of God. Your God wants to Reward You just for Showing up!


Can you believe that!


I know you thought that you had to go out and save the world for YOUR GOD to bless you. I know you thought that you had to have all of your T's crossed and I's dotted for him to Shower YOU with blessings.


You are special to God and he longs to bless you and reward you for coming to him. You are the reason that earth spins today. You are the reason the Sun shines today. You are the reason the rain falls today. You are the reason that He sent his son to die for your sins. He is that in love with you to the point that your life was equal to the death of his Son Jesus. (John 3:16)


So come to the Father today! He wants you to come up Higher!

Ask according to your desires!


John 15:7 : If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you."

To abide simply means to dwell. This scripture clearly reveals four awesome truths that when we as believers begin to activate them we will receive the full benefit of the Word.

1) "Abide in me" - These three words clearly shows Jesus as the Source, Foundation and Beginning of an important fact and that is to dwell or to habitat. When we begin to look to Jesus as our dwelling place we are placing our dependence on him and not on our own ways, thoughts, or experience.

2) "My words abide in you" - Reveals the truth of letting the words of Jesus dwell in our hearts, lives, actions, attitudes and ways. His word is alive, quick, powerful, and lifechanging. (Hebrews 4:12) It is through his word we are heal, delivered, and set free. (Psalm 107:20) Our living depends on his word. (Matthew 3:4)

3) "Ask what you will" - Jesus is instructing us to ask according to our desires or will. Our desires for something is important. As Christians we tend to look past the fact that God doesnot want us to ask according to our desire. We think that we should only ask for things that pertain to spirituality and neglect our desires that pertain to life and this world. You want a new car? Ask for it. You want to start your business? Ask for it. You want to get out of debt? Ask for it.

4) "It shall be done unto you" - For all of you spiritual giants and theologians out there. This needs no interpretation or greek or hebrew. Jesus is telling us that when we follow the three prerequisites that IT or the thing that we ask for, shall be done for us.

Let's put everything in perspective.

When we dwell IN JESUS as our Source and Foundation and allow His lifechanging, powerful WORDS to become apart of our daily lives, then we are instructed, even commanded to ASK according to OUR DESIRES and know that IT (the thing that we ask) shall be done for us.

Shocking isn't it!

Be empowered today!

Yes, You Can!


Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me."

This passage of scripture is pregnant with Power because it reveals three things.

1) Your Source - Jesus is the only source who can empower you to live victoriously in this world.

2) Your Strength -Jesus is the only one who can strengthen you to live a life that is filled with overcoming power.

3) Your Success - Jesus is the only one who can give you real and lasting Success when you rest in him as your Source and depend on him for your Strength.

This verse of scripture is a declarative sentence which essentially states an idea or a statement.

Therefore, whenever you are feeling that you cannot.

Remember!

Yes you can! And begin to declare the word of God over every situation.

Never give up or give in! God has so much more in store for you and know that you will win.

This is your higher calling!

Never Give Up.
