GIVES THANKS TO GOD IN EVERYTHING AND FOR EVERYTHING

1Ths 5:18: "In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."


We must not be selective in our giving of thanks to God but give thanks to Him for everything that He is doing in our lives be it good or bad. We must give thanks to God in whatever situations or conditions that we find ourselves in. We should give thanks to God in everything and for everything for this is the will of God for us in Christ Jesus. If anything will not be of good for us God will not command us to do it and if a situation is of no benefit to us He wouldn't take us through it. Everything that God is asking us to do, does for us, or takes us through is all working together for our good, and we should give thanks to God for all of them. If a season of darkness will not be useful for us, God wouldn't have allowed it in our lives. If we want to enjoy the fullness of the grace of God in our lives we must not box God into a situation, because He is the God of all situations. God rules and reigns in all situations. God is the Almighty One in all situations. We must explore the faithfulness and the grace of God in whatever situations we find ourselves in for our good because God is not limited to a condition. The unlimited abilities of God are inexhaustible and we cannot tie God into our assumptions of the capacity of His strength. God is incomparable or surpassing and we mustn't compare the strength of God to our strength. We will limit the hand or the grace of God from working greatly in our lives if we do so. In the same manner, also, we mustn't compare our God-given strength, vision, or ministry with that of another man. If we do that, we will be limiting the capacity of the delivery of our anointing and ministry. You are a follower of the person you are comparing yourself with and you cannot surpass him, because you will always be at his back and never be in his front. The exploits of the man will be your aspirations to accomplish, and you wouldn't be able to see the great things that God is doing which He wants you to be doing. That is the reason why God will not bring some of His emerging leaders under a leader that will becloud, subjugate or limit them from accomplishing the great assignment that He has called them to do.

Power of Persistence

Power of Persistence  And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them. Judges 8:4 Persistence is essential for pursuing a significant purpose and achieving a vision that seems beyond our strength. Despite their exhaustion, Gideon and his soldiers continued their pursuit of their enemies, demonstrating the power of a clear and compelling goal to inspire perseverance in fulfilling a dream. Persistence allows us to remain consistent and steadfast in our pursuits. Without a great vision, we may struggle to rise from complacency and actively seek God with the dedication needed for constant prayer, which builds a strong spirit, deepens our faith, enhances our understanding of the Word of God, and helps us grow in alignment with our vision.  God does not use casual seekers for the advancement of His kingdom; He relies on those who are consistent and committed. Persistence in prayer and faith is key to receiving an...

You are worthy O Lord..

You are worthy O Lord.. The twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, "You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, honour, and power; for You have created all things, and for Your pleasure, they are and were created." — Revelation 4:10-11 Even with the privilege of sitting around God's throne, these elders demonstrate a deep sense of humility before Him. When the living creatures give glory, honour, and thanks to God, the elders do not remain seated, proud of their crowns. Instead, they rise from their seats and fall down before God. In worship, they lay their crowns at His feet, proclaiming that He alone is worthy of glory, honour, and power. The crowned elders understand that there is only one King, and that King is God, deserving of all glory despite the honour they have been given. Like these elders, we must not allow the privileges, gifts, bles...

The Word became Answer

Image
The Word became Answer RSV, John 1:14: "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father." The Word, or Logos, became human as God's response to our need for salvation, addressing all our spiritual needs and the limitations we face as humans. The written word, the scriptures, is also provided by God to meet our needs. However, many struggle to find answers to their challenges in the scriptures due to their lack of understanding of them. But those who genuinely seek truth from the scriptures and are willing to obey God's guidance will find that the scriptures are revealed to them, providing a word from God. Casual reading of the scriptures will not yield meaningful benefits. Our comprehension of the scriptures plays a significant role in how we apply them and the guidance we receive. Therefore, we must not only read the scriptures but also study them carefully to uncove...
