GIVING AND RECIEVING

“While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, and day and night shall not cease.” Genesis 8:22 Giving and receiving go together. Sowing and reaping go hand in hand. There is no prosperity without giving and receiving. The truth of the matter is that many people would love to be givers, but many people wait for the “right time” to give. They wait until they have more than enough. They wait for just the right conditions. To be frank, that day may never come with that kind of attitude towards giving. He who observes the wind will not sow, and he who regards the clouds will not reap. Ecclesiastes 11:4 In giving, there has to be sacrifice involved. Where you give not necessarily because you have abundance, but you give because you love God and people. Giving not necessarily because you have abundance, but giving even out of need. Giving is sacrificial in nature. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever beli...

PRAYER UNLOCKS BREAKTHROUGH

Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Matthew 7:7-8 Your prayers can effect changes and change your world. The faith walk is an upward walk, where you go from faith to faith, strength to strength, grace to grace and glory to glory. However, that is not all God’s responsibility. We have a role to play, in order to experience the life that Jesus came to give us. He told us to work out our own salvation with godly reverence. He told us to put it to work. Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Philippians 2:12 As a child of God, you are responsible as to how your life turns out. God has given you a choice between life and death; blessing and cursing. God has given you keys of the kingdom. Your prayer li...

THE POWER OF THE TONGUE

A man’s stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth; from the produce of his lips he shall be filled. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit. Proverbs 18:20-21 Life and death are in the tongue. How your life goes, your well-being and your economic state are all dependent on the words that you speak every day. Your words can make you a failure or a success in life. If your life is going in the wrong direction, change your words. He who guards his mouth preserves his life, but he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction. Proverbs 13:3 Your words have the ability to create the desired future. When you speak, it is not just mere words. Your words go into the future and create a life that is consistent with your words. If you want to change your life, change your words. Choose life, speak life. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of...

GRACE

And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. John 1:16-17 Grace is unmerited favor; favor that you didn’t earn, and that you don’t deserve. Grace or unmerited favor came by Jesus Christ. Jesus is full of grace and truth. Every time you come to Jesus, you receive grace and when you come again, you receive more grace. Hallelujah! No judgement, no condemnation, just grace upon grace. The Bible declares that with the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness we will reign in life by Jesus Christ. For if by one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. Romans 5:17 We are living in the dispensation of grace. Consequently, when you go to God, He doesn’t judge or condemn you. Judgement is coming. However, it is not that time. God corrects you w...

FAITH THAT WORKS

    Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. Hebrews 11:1-2 Faith is an important subject. Faith is a serious matter. The Bible declares that without faith it is impossible to please God. So, faith pleases God. Faith gets God on the scene. But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Hebrews 11:6 What is faith? 1.       Faith is a law. As much as there are natural laws. Faith is a spiritual law. Just like natural laws, faith works all the time as long as the right conditions are met. Meaning genuine faith works all the time like clockwork and produces results. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith. Romans 3:27 2.       Faith is believing and speaking. Fait...

DEALING WISELY IN THE AFFAIRS OF LIFE

This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Joshua 1:8 Years ago, I used to wonder, if God has given me wisdom, why do I keep making foolish choices? That was because I did not know that I had to grow in the knowledge of God’s Word. As time passed, God kept me from making silly mistakes. Now, by God’s grace I deal wisely in the affairs of life.  However, that did not happen overnight, I had to be a student of God’s Word. Did you know that God’s Word can make you smart? Yes, God’s Word can make you super intelligent. In the opening verse we have learnt that God wanted Joshua to spend time in the Word. In another passage we read that Joshua was full of the spirit of wisdom. Now Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands on him; so the ...

THE KINGDOM OF LOVE, PEACE AND JOY

For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Romans 14:17 People everywhere are looking for love, peace and joy. They look for these in relationships, careers, fame, wealth, substance abuse, etc. Instead of getting love, peace and joy, the world gives them stress, worry and anxiety. That is because this world won’t solve your problems. The world will give you stress, worry and anxiety. Love, peace and joy are found in God. The Bible expressly tells us that God is love, so if you are looking for love, you need God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 1 John 4:8 If you are searching for peace, Jesus is the Prince of peace (Isaiah 9:6) and He gives perfect peace. Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27 If it is joy that you need, in God’s presence, there is complete joy. ...
