PUT A SMILE ON YOUR FACE

Who is like a wise man? And who knows the interpretation of a thing? A man’s wisdom makes his face shine, and the sternness of his face is changed. Ecclesiastes 8:1 People are drawn to people with warm faces and this is the condition of people of wisdom. Wisdom brings joy and peace. Wisdom lightens up your face. It makes you stay in a lightened-up mood. People of wisdom have a glow on them. Get wisdom! Get understanding! Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth. Proverbs 4:5 The Bible tells us to get wisdom and understanding. Where is your focus? When you focus on the world and what it has to say, you will have stress, worry and anxiety. But, when you focus on the wisdom of God, you will be in a lightened-up mood. Fear comes from the world, but faith comes from the Word which is the wisdom of God. You cannot be full of the Word and fear at the same time. You cannot be full of the wisdom of God and be full of stress, worry and anxiety at the same time. When yo...

LIVING RIGHTEOUSLY WILL DELIVER YOU FROM TROUBLE

“Thus the Lord has dealt with me, in the days when He looked on me, to take away my reproach among people.” Luke 1:25 Our opening Scripture records the words of Elizabeth who had been barren and now she had conceived. God took away her reproach. When you live righteously, God will take away your reproach. When you live righteously, God will deliver you from trouble. The righteous is delivered from trouble, and it comes to the wicked instead. Proverbs 11:8 It does not matter how long you have been in a challenging situation, if you keep on living righteously God will take away your reproach. That is what breakthrough is all about, you have been doing things right in unfavorable circumstances until suddenly things begin to change and you experience breakthrough. If you will live righteously, you will see the faithfulness of God. God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. 1 Corinthians 1:9 God is faithful and He remains ...

HAVING CHILDLIKE FAITH

But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 19:14 You need childlike faith to believe the gospel and be born again. You do not do it by being analytical or weighing the options. You simply believe and receive the message that is preached. From that simple act of believing and receiving, you inherit the kingdom of heaven. In a similar fashion, when you simply believe and receive the message of prosperity, healing, divine health and all the blessings that Jesus died for you to have, you begin to walk in them. Faith arises when you know the will of God for your life and the Word of God is the will of God. The only way you will take possession of your inheritance is by having childlike faith, which comes from you being knowledgeable about the Word of God. It’s all about taking God at His Word, the same way you did when you received your salvation. So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the wor...

THE WORD GIVES LIGHT

That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming in to the world. John 1:9 Many people are struggling with identity and do not know their purpose in life. Others do not have order in their lives and they struggle to live lives that are pleasing to God, consequently, they are always in trouble. All of this is happening because they lack the Word in their lives. Child of God, the Word is the light of men. It brings order into a chaotic situation. The Word gives light. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. Genesis 1:1-3 When God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was without form and void, but when God spoke the Word, things changed. The Word can bring order into your life; the Word can bring light into your life. When you have the Word...

DOING YOUR BEST

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going. Ecclesiastes 9:10 We are living in the days where mediocrity is the norm. Most people will do just enough to get by. However, the above Scripture lets us know that we have to do our best. When you start something, be determined to give it your best; be determined to finish what you have started well. You could be writing a book, preparing to run a marathon or composing a song, whatever project you might be involved in, be determined to stay with it and finish what you have started. Do it with excellence and to excel means to exceed expectations, to go the extra mile or to be above average. To excel means high performance. And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ. Colossians 3:23-24 There is a reward for ...

THE SUFFERINGS OF CHRIST BRING GLORY

Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His glory? Luke 24:26 Before glory come sufferings. Before victory come challenges. Challenges are opportunities to go to the next level, they are stepping stones. Challenges are not there to destroy you but to make you smarter, wiser and better. Those who live right go through challenges because the enemy is trying to stop them from living right. However, when they persevere, they enter into a glorious life. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. Romans 8:18 When you go through challenges don’t quit living right, endure until you enter into a glorious life. If we suffer with Christ, we shall be glorified with Him. Promotion comes from above, and it comes when you have passed the tests of life. Life is not smooth sailing; you will meet challenges and storms of life. However, you need to overcome and you have what...

GOD IS THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE

But, O LORD of hosts, You who judge righteously, testing the mind and the heart, let me see Your vengeance on them, for to You I have revealed my cause. Jeremiah 11:20 God is righteous which means God is always right, He doesn’t make a mistake and He is perfect. Only He can make accurate judgements and the above Scripture sheds some light why. It says that God tests the minds and the hearts meaning God sees beyond our words and actions, He sees the minds and the hearts. You cannot hide anything form God. For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebrews 4:12 The above Scripture lets us know that the Word of God can make a distinction between the soul and spirit and can discern your thoughts and your heart’s intentions. You see even the Word of God knows you. The following verse establishes this truth f...
