DO NOT BE AFRAID
The Bible says in the book of Isaiah 44:2:
Thus saith the Lord that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurum, whom I have chosen.

We should put our total hope in God and in him we have hope of overcoming our anxiety.
The bible says in the book of 2 Timothy 1:7: For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

With Christ we can do all things. In everything you do, put God first, and he will direct you and crown your efforts with success. He is the Author and the finisher of our Faith, the beginning and the end. He knows our end from the beginning and when we commit our ways into His hands, He will surely see us through. Christ in us is the hope of Glory.

How do we overcome our fear?
We overcome our fear by putting on the whole Armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18).

What is the whole Armor of God:
1. Belt of Truth
2. Breastplate of Righteousness
3. Shoes of Peace
4. Shield of Faith
5. Helmet of Salvation
6. The victorious Sword of the spirit: GOD'S WORD.

MY PRAYER FOR YOU:
I pray that the Lord we strengthen us in this Month of January.
May the blessings of God abide with us. (Amen).

BUY THE TRUTH

Proverbs 23:23: Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

In this World of ours the Truth is very rare. People prefer lies . Infact liars get more favour because most time people tend to accept liars more than the trustworthy person.

People lies for so many reasons:
Some lies to uphold themselves and make themselves more important in the sight of others, all in the name of pride, They tell lies to their friends to make themselves feel more important.

Some lies to bring others down. Most times when they are envious of the other person they prefer to tell lies against the person and bring the person down, so many souls have been destroyed due to false accusations and lies.

Some tell lies to get favour, the Bible says Favour comes from the Lord, when the Lord decide to give us favour it does not depend on our lies, God will do what he says he will do.
Psalm 5:12: For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; with favor You will surround him as with a shield.

The TRUTH IS GOLD, but people may never believe this, there are so many nice things in this World but truth, wisdom, instruction and understanding is very very important.

God want us to acquire this. In the book of proverb 4:7 we could read that: Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

Whatever we want to acquire in the world, we should always aim at wisdom, and understanding, together with TRUTH we will be able to acquire great things in life.
The lie can run for years but the truth catches up with it one day. There is victory of truth over Falsehood.

Wisdom, understanding, instruction and truth are GOLD. God as our loving father want us to have all these, in all these there is greatness.

No One and Nothing Can Stand in the Way of Messiah's Providence  
Zechariah 4: 1-14:

1 Then the angel who talked with me returned and woke me up, like someone awakened from sleep.
2 He asked me, "What do you see?" I answered, "I see a solid gold lampstand with a bowl at the top and seven lamps on it, with seven channels to the lamps. 3 Also there are two olive trees by it, one on the right of the bowl and the other on its left."
4 I asked the angel who talked with me, "What are these, my lord?"
5 He answered, "Do you not know what these are?"
"No, my lord," I replied.
6 So he said to me, "This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty.
7 "What are you, mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground. Then he will bring out the capstone to shouts of ‘God bless it! God bless it!’"
8 Then the word of the Lord came to me:
9 "The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this temple; his hands will also complete it. Then you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you.
10 "Who dares despise the day of small things, since the seven eyes of the Lord that range throughout the earth will rejoice when they see the chosen capstone in the hand of Zerubbabel?"
11 Then I asked the angel, "What are these two olive trees on the right and the left of the lampstand?"
12 Again I asked him, "What are these two olive branches beside the two gold pipes that pour out golden oil?"
13 He replied, "Do you not know what these are?"
"No, my lord," I said.
14 So he said, "These are the two who are anointed to serve the Lord of all the earth."

When Jesus says yes nobody can say no. Sometimes we find ourselves in some situation and we thought there is no way out again but the Bible says Christ in us is the hope of glory.

Who can stand in the way of  Messiah's Providence?  Nobody!
I have found myself in some situations in the past that makes me to know that Nothing and No One  can stand in the way of God's Providence.
He is our living HOPE. He is the HOPE OF GLORY.

Zechariah 4:7:  "What are you, mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground. Then he will bring out the capstone to shouts of ‘God bless it! God bless it!’"

When we put our total trust in God and when we commit our ways to him then our lives is sure and secured. God loves us and he is ever faithful.

Nothing or no one can hinder God from accomplishing His purposes in our lives.

Whatever we started or we are about to do we should always commit it to the hands of God. He is the beginning and the end. He knows everything about our lives and He is ever faithful.

No one can  hold back his hand or say to him:  What have you done
?


The LORD is good all the time.
May the God of love be with us and continue to guide our ways. (Amen)

Forgiveness
Sometimes we find it so hard to forgive people who offend us. Most times the people who offend us are those whom we trust most, someone we look up to, at times the very people whom we love the most and cherish. Forgiveness is an hard task especially if we were really wounded.

What does the Bible teach about forgiveness?
One of the main purpose of christianity is forgiveness. In actual fact forgiveness ist one of the major teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Matthew 6:14-15:
14 For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15 But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

Ephesians 1:7:
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace.

Through the Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ we have redemption and this redemption is the forgiveness of sins.

Why is it so hard to forgive?                                                                                           
1. sometimes we were so wounded by people we trusted most. The wound may have been old, but the pain remains fresh.
2. sometimes people treated others unfairly in order to maximize their own power. We often find it difficult to forgive because they've wounded us to our very soul.

What does God does with our sins?
- He erases them
Isaiah 43:24-25:  
24 Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities.
25 I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.

- He does not record them

Psalm 32:2:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Blessed is the one whose sin the LORD does not count against them and in whose spirit is no deceit.

- He totally removes them

Psalm 103: 12:
As distant as the east is from the west, that is how far he has removed our sins from us.

- He nails them to the cross
Colossians 2: 13-14:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            13 Even when you were dead because of your offenses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with him when he forgave us all of our offenses,                                                                                                      14 having erased the charges that were brought against us, along with their obligations that were hostile to us. He took those charges away when he nailed them to the cross.

Why do we have to forgive others?                                       
1. From a Gracious God we receive forgiveness; we have all sinned against God
2. Forgiving someone is a difficult thing to do, but it's a necessity for our well-being;  it improves our life by improving our physical and emotional health.                                                              3. The main reason for forgiving is that we will glorify God and reveal His character to those around us.

Jesus died on the cross not because something was wrong with him, but because everything was wrong with us.


Forgiveness and being reconciled are not about pretending that things are other than they are. It is not patting one another on the back and turning blind eye to the wrong.                                                                           

Forgiveness looks sin in the eye and speaks the costly words : "I forgive you."

In most cases, the only way to forgive is by remembering. It is important that we do not make a simplistic connection between forgiving and forgetting. True forgiveness requires a careful look at what has actually happened to us. It is possible that we genuinely do not remember what someone has done against us, but most often it is largely a mistake to say, "Forgive and forget." Rather, the judgment of grace enables us, through the power of Holy Spirit, to remember well and deal with it.
- True forgiveness requires the offender to own sin repentantly.
- Genuine repentance goes deeper than apology or the expression of regret.
- forgiveness is given graciously and generously; if they repent, forgive them.

Forgiveness doesn't mean forgetting to remember, but remembering to forget.


O Lord our GOD, grant us the Grace to genuinely forgive those who  ask us for forgiveness.

CALL UNTO ME

Jeremiah 33 vs. 3:  Call unto me, and I will answer thee,  and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou konwest not.
Through asking we receive. Jesus teaches us in the Book of  Matthew 7 verse 7 that we should knock and the door will be opened to us. There is gain in asking.

Our heavenly Father knows the thought of our hearts, even before we ask him, but he wants us to make our intentions known to him. God is a caring father and he will answers us and grant us our heart desires when we ask according to his will.

Without God we are nothing. With him we have hope and Assurance of tomorrow.
Matthew 7 vs. 7: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

God Knows Everything

Our God is the God Of Knowledge, he knows everything about me, you and the whole World even before the Creation. His Knowledge is without limit. Our God knows the end from the beginning.
Isaiah 46:10 :  I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.’
I love this Psalm so much: Psalm 139 Verse 1-24:
1 You have searched me,  Lord , and you know me.
2 You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.
4 Before a word is on my tongue you,  Lord , know it completely.
5 You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
7 Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?
8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.
11 If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,"
12 even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.
13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts, [a] God! How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand— when I awake, I am still with you.
19 If only you, God, would slay the wicked! Away from me, you who are bloodthirsty!
20 They speak of you with evil intent; your adversaries misuse your name.
21 Do I not hate those who hate you,  Lord , and abhor those who are in rebellion against you?
22 I have nothing but hatred for them; I count them my enemies.
23 Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

May the good Lord continue to  guide  us on all  our ways, Amen.

WHEN THE LORD TURNED AGAIN THE CAPTIVITY OF ZION

Psalm 126:1:

„When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream."


The Zion were in captivity but the Lord rescue them and release them from their captivity. Many times we find ourselves in some bad situations and we think it is all over.  

God is a good God. In any situation we find ourselves we should always trust in God because God will never forsake his own people.
Psalm 30:5: „... weeping may last through the night but joy comes with the morning."  

God is able to restore all we have lost; more than we could ever imagined. Sometimes we face disappointment, though it's hard to cope with disappointment, but some disappointments are actually blessings in disguise. Let us put our trust in God because He is the only one who is 100% trustworthy

Psalm 125 vs. 1: Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever.

WHAT DO WE DO
1.Praying and fasting; The Bible says „The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. „ (James 5:16)                                                                                                                       
2.  Working hard to know the mind of God on the situation we are
3. Seeking the face of God on what He wants us to do about the Situation                                                                                                                                                          
4.  Trusting in the Lord with all our heart

Psalm 126:6 assures us that though we go forth weeping but we shall surely come again rejoicing.
