Always trust in the Lord How many times have you come across people, who never have anything good in mind for you?  They are smiling with you and the minute something goes wrong, you hear it is good for them. Every so often, people are just waiting to see you fail. But, God said, I will never leave you or forsake you. It when everyone thinks you will fail, God, steps in and lift you higher than before. So know that it doesn't matter, count it all good. For the word of God says, “ Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way. (James 1:2-4, MSG).  Therefore many friends rejoice in your trials because God is on your side. Ignore all negativity and focus on what God is doing in your life. He is the on...

Too Big

God is always in CONTROL!!! Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God”   Philippians 4:6 (AMP) Nothing is too big or too small for our God to handle. We serve a great and mighty God who can do all things. We can do all things through him when we allow ourselves to trust in his ways and to direct our paths. When we learn to let go and let God, we find that things work out for our benefit and for his glory. Don’t be discouraged. Don’t give in and don’t give up. Know that God is faithful.  When the mountain seems too high, the road is too long and the storm is raging, look unto Jesus for he is a way maker. Today be encouraged, keep trusting in the Lord and know all things are possible for those who trust in him. Be Blessed.

Trust in the Lord at all times... Have you ever felt like a situation will take you under? But then you realize your trust is, in the Lord, he will always catch you before you fall. Today, I just want to encourage someone to keep trusting in the Lord, despite your circumstances. In order to win a war, you have to battle. And sometimes during the war, you get hurt. But don’t give up! Don’t stop fighting for your family, friends, health, children, spouse, finances, etc. Know that God is able to see you through. He always takes care of those, who hopes and trust in him. In fact, the Lord reassures us that every trial makes us stronger and allows us to recognize that he is the Great I Am. Therefore, worry not yourself, but rejoice, rejoice and rejoice for he is faithful. Don’t give up or give in, to your situations. But rest assured that every disappointment is an appointment for God to work a miracle in your life. Today can just be that day. Your miracle is next in line.  Shou...

Rejoice

Rejoice in the Lord... As you continue to put your trust in the Lord, know that he will never put you to shame. Even though you might not be where you want to be, keep trusting in the Lord. Know that you will make it, to your destination. Don’t lose hope or focus of your vision. Be aware that God yes, always means yes. He never withholds any good things from us. Sometimes our blessings may tarries, but know when it is time for you to receive and walk into the blessings, no one, not even the devil from the pits of hell can STOP IT!   The Lord reminds us to “be glad, people of Zion, rejoice in the Lord your God, for he has given you the autumn rains because he is faithful. He sends you abundant showers, both autumn and spring rains, as before. The threshing floors will be filled with grain; the vats will overflow with new wine and oil (Joel 2:23-24). Praise be to his Holy name. Hallelujah! This is God’s promises to us that we must rejoice because he is faithful...

Peace, Love and Hope

Hold onto Jesus!!! “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope” (Jeremiah 29:11).  When your trust and hope is in the Lord, your plans for the future will always look bright. Everyone wants to get ahead. They want the best. They want to succeed and prosper in this land flowing with milk and honey. But you cannot succeed and prosper if you are not trusting in the Lord. Second if you are not obedient to him, worst yet. Nevertheless, when you don’t follow his directions, you will end up worse than before.  Nothing comes easy, but with God's strength you can do all things. There are times I want to give up, I want to quit, but when I keep my eyes on the price of Jesus, I gain the strength to push forward knowing that God is ALWAYS in charge. It’s not always easy. Believe me there are times, if I don’t ignore those negative thoughts about “I can’t” and “it’s impossible”, I will en...

Working

Keep trusting in the Lord.... It is so important that we make time to rest. Many of us are busy, we have several jobs. We have a family. We have to make time and do God’s work to encourage others. But we have to make time to rest. For it is useless to empower others, when you are running on empty and don’t have the strength of the Lord. You have to set aside time just for you and most importantly time to relax in the Lord presence to receive his abundance of peace, love, grace and mercies. Honestly, speaking I am a person who likes to keep busy. I am always working on a something, whether it’s in my home or just encouraging others, I keep busy. Most importantly I MUST make time to spend with the Lord, because I cannot rely on my own strength to do the things I do. Believe me without God is my life, I would be useless, and unable to encourage others and self. No I am not super woman or perfect, far from it. But I realize, in order for me to succeed and be useful, I must see...

"Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. 14 Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony. 15 And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts”(Colossians 3:13-15).  Everyone loves a clean slate of themselves. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if people can only see the good and not the bad in you? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we are faultless and has no blemish? I think it would. But of course none of us is perfect. It doesn’t matter how much we try to be perfect someone will spot something we missed. Someone will see our faults. However when you are a child of God, he takes care of your faults.  In fact the word of God says, he looks beyond our faults and see our needs. Amen. When you are in Christ Jesus and you are doing his will, he will take care of you. It doesn’t matter who or what is coming against you. It doesn’t matte...
