PRAY FOR LEADERS IN YOUR COUNTRY

Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. 2 Timothy 2:1-2 As a child of God it is your responsibility to pray for leaders in your country. Leaders in your country are appointed by God and you need to pray for them not criticize them. Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake, whether to the king as supreme, or to governors, as those who are sent by him for the punishment of evil doers and for the praise of those who do good. 1 Peter 2:13 God can speak to their hearts to favor the church. God can speak to their hearts to make decisions that are in line with His Word. That is where your prayers come in; your prayers are needed for God to work in your leader’s hearts. The king’s heart is in the hands of the LORD, like the rivers of water; He turns it wherev...

THE LORD KEEPS YOU FROM FALLING

Uphold my steps in Your paths, that my footsteps may not slip. Psalm 17:5 Some Christians think that they might fail or fall. If you are a Christian don’t think like that, trust in the Lord because God loves you and He is able to keep you from falling. Christianity is all about God loving you and you loving God and people. If you love God, He will cause to be at the right place at the right time and He will certainly keep you from falling. Jesus said to him, “’You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind.’” This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang the Law and the Prophets.” Matthew 22:37-40 We love God because He first loved us. When you know how much God loves you, you will love Him. Rely on God’s love for you, focus on God’s love for you and you will fall in love with the Lord. In this the love of God was manifested tow...

GIVE YOUR WAY OUT OF POVERTY

Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days. Give a serving to seven, and also to eight, for you do not know what evil will be on the earth. Ecclesiastes 11:1-2 Giving is the way out of poverty. However many people stay on the same level financially because they don’t know how to give themselves out of poverty. You can give your way out of poverty. You cannot give the same amount all the time. For instance, if you were giving on a R 10 level you have to increase your giving and give on the R 100 level and if you were giving on a R 100 level you have to increase your giving and give on a R 1, 000 level and so forth. If you were feeding 1 poor family you have to increase your giving and give to 10 poor families and if you were giving to 10 poor families you have to increase your giving and give to 100 poor families and so forth. When you give this way, you give your way out of poverty. Your level of giving determines your level of blessings. If you wan...

THE LORD DOES NOT FORGET THE HUMBLE

Arise, O LORD! O God, lift up Your hand! Do not forget the humble. Psalm 10:12 Humble people pray, humble people serve and humble people speak well of others. Humble people humble themselves in God’s sight and that is why they are able to humble themselves before others. The Lord does not forget humble people but He lifts up humble people. The Lord promotes humble people. Therefore, humble yourself, and things will turn around for you. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up. James 4:10 Humble people pray because it takes humility to pray and proud people don’t think they have to pray. They do not realize how much they need God. Yet they want God to bless them and that from a distance, but if you truly want God to bless you, you have to come close to Him. If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal the...
