Fret Not Because God Is With You-Part 1

admin — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 12:42:08 +0000

Beloved, the plan of God for your life is to trust Him completely and not fret. When you fret, you become worried, anxious and you make a “down payment” for something that may not even happen. By doing this, you demonstrate that God is not able and this is an insult to the Almighty God, the Creator of the whole universe.

Fretting makes you become peevish, irritable and impatient; God does not want you to live that way. He wants you to live the abundant spiritual life that Jesus died on the cross to give you. You must not let the precious price that Jesus paid for you to go to waste!

The Word of God tells us in Psalm 37:1-4, “Do not fret because of evil men or be envious of those who do wrong; for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away. Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.”

When you have tenacious faith in God’s presence, protection, power and promises, all your worries will be conquered. Let your faith overcome your worry and God will turn your worry into worship, for His glory. Fear, which is the opposite of faith, plays a big part in worry and anxiety.

The Lord wants you to cast all your cares, fears and anxieties onto Him and He will take perfect control and give you rest. You can face any fear when you know that the Lord is with you. You can doubt your own abilities and potential, but never doubt what God can do with you when you trust and obey Him fully.

Child of God, be encouraged and believe that God will give you the strength you need for this journey of life. So you do not need to fret. Just relax and believe that God is at work in your life. He has promised never to leave you nor forsake you and you will not suffer shame. AMEN

PRAYER OF SALVATION

If you have not already committed your life to Jesus and you would like to do so now, please pray this prayer:

“Lord Jesus, I am sorry for all the things I have done wrong. Thank you for dying for me on the cross, to set me free from my sins. I ask you to come into my life as my personal Lord and Saviour, and fill me with the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord Jesus. Amen.”

Congratulations, if you have prayed this prayer. Please look for a Bible-believing church, to fellowship with the brethren. Please do not hesitate to contact me, if I can be of any assistance to you. Remain blessed and enjoy the presence of the Lord.

Fret Not Because God Is With You-Part 2

admin — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 12:39:18 +0000

Beloved, if you believe that Jesus lives in you, you don’t need to fret about anything. If you find yourself in a crisis of circumstances, you need to trust God for guidance. He is sovereign over changing circumstances and He will guide you all the way.

Have peace and rest in the Lord always instead of fretting, and He will deliver, according to His promises. The Almighty God has promised never to leave nor forsake us and we need to thank Him daily for this great promise. If we trust Him completely, we will dwell safely and nothing shall make us fret, because God is with us.

We need to take authority over the things that have filled us with worry and use the powerful Word of God as our weapon. Once you stand upon the immutable Word of God, you need to reject the interference of fretting, in Jesus’ matchless name. Choose to believe in God’s Word and stand firmly on His promises, which are “Yes in Christ.” 2 Corinthians 1:20b

Beloved, I want you to know that fretting is a lack of trust in God and it is a great insult to Him. Put your weight on God and He will never disappoint you. You will be amazed at the wonders and miracles He will perform in your life. Fretting will not solve any problem but when you trust God completely, He will show up and give you success.

Child of God, be encouraged and believe that God will give you the strength you need for this journey of life. So, you do not need to fret. Just relax and believe that God is at work in your life. He has promised never to leave you nor forsake you and you will not suffer shame. Be rest assured that God is working in the background and have a holy expectancy. Receive all that He has prepared for you, thank, praise, and worship HIM for His goodness and faithfulness. PEACE

Let God Lead You All The Way – Part 1

admin — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 13:32:21 +0000

Beloved, let God lead you and let Him go first to direct and guide you in all that you do. When you do this, you will never go wrong in life, as God will be in the driver seat of your life all the way.

The Word of God says in Proverbs 19:21, “Many are the plans of a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” Even though your plans may be imperfect, if your heart is right, God will make things turn out for your good and for His glory. He has already told us in His Word, “In all things, God works for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28

We all struggle with sorting out our ideas from His ideas. But if we listen to the Almighty God, He has promised “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you.” Psalm 32:8. Wow! What a great promise! We should be thankful that we are under His leadership and trust Him all the way.

The Almighty God will definitely instruct and guide you along the best pathway for your life. He will advise you and watch your progress all the way. Sometimes, our ideas go away but God’s direction stays with us and this is very important. His direction is normally impossible to follow without Him. Hence, we must not to rush ahead of Him because this will be very unwise.

Our Lord Jesus Christ says in John 15:5, “I am the Vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” You need to learn how to relax in His presence and let Him lead you according to His plan and purposes for your life.

Child of God, I encourage you to allow God to lead you in everything you do. As you cannot do anything in your own strength, it is best for God to lead you. Let Him lead you in His righteousness and He will make straight your way before Him. His directions will be very clear to you and you will never be disappointed nor put to shame. PEACE!

Let God Lead You All The Way – Part 2

admin — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 13:29:21 +0000

When God leads and guides us, He works in ways we cannot predict, because His ways are not our ways and our ways are not His ways. The bible tells us in Proverbs 16:9, “in his heart a man plans a course, but the Lord determines his steps.”

When we face a disappointment in our day, we should look not just what we think we want, but also for what God has for us that day. His loving Hand will work things out for our good, for His own glory. God is always behind the scenes and He controls the scenes Himself.

Sometimes, we experience delays, changes of plans and redirections, and we treat them as intrusions. When this happens, it could be that God is steering us to another direction so that we can do something different or new for Him. We find a good example of this in Apostle Paul when he was going to Philippi, with his companions.

The bible tells us about Paul’s experience in Acts 16:9-10, “During the night, Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and begging him. “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” After Paul had seen the vision, we got ready at once to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.”

Paul did not know that he would end up in prison there. Yet, God orchestrated that trip to jail, because He used Paul to bring salvation to a jailer and his family. Praise God!!! The Almighty God can use inconveniences in our lives if we look at them as divine appointments. He can turn obstacles into opportunities, for His own glory.

If you submit yourself to God and let Him lead you in the way you should go, you will have no regrets at all. Instead, you will have inner peace and rest; as you will be completely in the Hands of God and He will not drop you. God’s ways are just; they are right, holy and they are very safe.

Child of God, I encourage you to allow God to lead you in everything you do. As you cannot do anything in your own strength, it is best for God to lead you. Let Him lead you in His righteousness and He will make straight your way before Him. His directions will be very clear to you and you will never be disappointed nor put to shame. PEACE!

Let God Lead You All The Way – Part 3

admin — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 13:25:39 +0000

If you acknowledge God in all your ways, He will direct your path always. If you put Him first in everything you do, He will direct you and crown all your efforts with great success, for His glory. He holds your future and He will hold your hand all the way.

With God, things don’t just happen because everything by Him is planned. He is the Master Planner of your life. Wherever you are and whatever spiritual battle you may face, have the confidence that God is with you. He will guide you, protect and lead you as He watches over you. You will always find safety in the presence of God, if you hang out with Him.

While it is wise to plan for the future, we must do so with the recognition that God’s plans might be different from ours. Apostle James advised us to flex to God’s directions in our lives. James tells us, “Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.” James 4:15

God leads us step by step and directs our way until our path unfolds. You don’t need to know where you are going if you know and fully believe that God is leading you all the way.

The bible tells us in Genesis 12:1, “The Lord told Abram, “Leave your country, your people and your father’s household and go to the land I will show you.” Abram obeyed God fully, not knowing where He was going. But He trusted God completely and He was not disappointed. He became the father of many nations and was very fruitful, for the glory of God.

In order for God to lead you all the way, He needs your total obedience and trust, for the deal to be completed. Ask the Lord to keep you from doubt so that you can go the way He is showing you. When you let God lead you the way you should go, you will be leading a life of complete obedience. This may not be easy, but God will give you grace and you will be mightily blessed.

Let God Lead You All The Way – Part 4

admin — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 13:21:24 +0000

Child of God, it is very important that an earthly guide does not lead you astray. We need to set the Lord as our ultimate standard and not replace Him with humans. When we focus on the Lord for His leadership, He will lead us out of great and terrible dangers, in Jesus exalted name. Amen

If you yield yourself to the Lord, His Spirit will lead and guide you through the darkness of this world. Let your inner ears be tuned to hear the Lord’s leading in the midst of several voices. Receive God’s counsel and leading for the paths you have not followed before.

Do not be afraid as you yield yourself completely to God’s leading and guidance. He will definitely lead you through the “Red Sea” of impossible situations. Let your steps be ordered of the Lord and you will not miss your way. The Word of God tells us in Psalm 37:23-24, “If the Lord delights in a man’s way, He makes his steps firm; though he stumbles, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with His hand.”

If you humble your heart before the Lord and ask for His leadership, He will definitely help you and show you the way. His eye will go with you and guide you in major and minor decisions you may want to take. Let the Almighty know that you are lost without His leading and ask Him for His direction. He will lead you in times of hardship and you will be amazed.

Let your confidence be in the Lord always and not an earthly guide. God’s eyes will guide you so that you do not miss His purposes for your life. He will show you the way to go and prosper you in everything you lay your hands to do, under His leadership and guidance.

The Almighty God will lead you to live above every circumstance that is troubling you and you will not fail. He will order your steps to the place of fruitfulness and will lead you to accomplish what you began, for His glory. If you do not follow the opinion of others, but that of God, He will lead you to your place of breakthrough in Jesus’ matchless name. Amen

Fear Not; God Is In Charge

admin — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 16:45:01 +0000

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right Hand” Isaiah 41:10

As some people often say “fear is false evidence appearing real”. I believe that fear is Satan’s chief police constable officer that he uses to captivate his victims. Once Satan has arrested his victims, without caution, using the spirit of fear, he handcuffs them so that they are not able to function or think for themselves. Then Satan starts to torture his victims and he enjoys it to the fullest. This satanic strategy is from the pit of hell and you have to resist Satan and he will flee from you.

When God is in charge, fear cannot have any hold over you. Fear is the opposite of faith; when fear shows up, faith disappears. You have to be determined to fight fear by increasing your faith.

FEAR NO EVIL

The Bible says in Psalm 23:4, “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me”. Evil will not succeed in your life because Jehovah God is with you always; so you need not fear. “The Lord is my light and my salvation- whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life- of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1.

I have got good news for you; most of the things you fear do not even come to pass. But Satan likes to make you believe that they will happen. He is a liar and the father of all liars. You need to believe the Word of God concerning you and your loved ones.

The Word of God is immutable; it is fire and it is like a hammer that shatters a rock into pieces. The Bible says in Hebrews 4: 12,”For the Word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edge sword, it penetrates even to the dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart”.

So, I encourage you to make it a habit of confessing the Word of God concerning any situation and all fear will disappear. Charles R. Swindoll says, “If I have counted correctly, there are over 350 “fear-nots” in the Bible. Think of them as God’s one-a-day vitamins”.

God is so interested in every detail of your life. He has even provided you with daily spiritual vitamins for your well-being. How great and kind is our God!!! Alleluia. “Say to those with fearful hearts, “Be strong, do not fear; your God will come. He will come with vengeance; with divine retribution He will come to save you” Isaiah 35:4.

Fear should not be the major factor that runs your life; God should be the major factor, as He is Omnipotent (All-powerful), Omnipresent and Omniscient (All-knowing). He knows everything about you and He has invited you to “cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous fall” Psalm 55:22.

Sometimes when you cast your cares on the Lord, you go back and pick them up again, because Satan instills some fear into you. But you have no power to deal with your cares and worries. So why pick them up again? Only God can take your cares and deal with them without fail.

I encourage you to cast everything onto His broad shoulders and you will not be disappointed. He is more than able to see you through. “You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness nor the plague that destroys at midday” Psalm 91:5

Fear Not; God Has Redeemed You

admin — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 16:38:59 +0000

“But now, this is what the Lord says –He who created you, O Jacob, He who formed you, O Israel; “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am your Lord, your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Saviour; I gave Egypt for your ransom, Cush and Seba in your stead” Isaiah 43:1-3.

What a powerful prophecy from the Lord to you!! I encourage you to personalize it and claim it for you and your loved ones. God loves you so much and He cares about every detail concerning you. He is forever faithful and as you allow Him to continue to live in you, fear will be eliminated from your life.

Where God is, fear has no leg to stand on; it disappears completely. So, be rest assured that God is in charge of every situation you are facing. God has redeemed you, that is, He has bought you with the precious Blood of His Son, Jesus Christ.

When you confess the Word of God, eat it, chew it, swallow and digest it daily; you will be completely set free from fear. You will then be able to be what God has called you to be, to His own Glory.

DO NOT BE AFRAID

In the English dictionary, fear is defined as “an unpleasant emotion excited by danger, pain etc, or to be afraid or apprehensive”. But God is telling you, “Do not be afraid, for I am with you” Genesis 26:24b, “Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged” Deut. 1:21b, “Don’t be afraid; just believe” Mark 5:36b

God is reassuring you that He is there beside you; so do not be afraid. Instead He wants you to make positive confessions in order to dispel fear.

“Surely, God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid” Isaiah 12:2a and “The lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?” Hebrews 13:6b. “In God, whose Word I praise; in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me? Psalm 56:4

In conclusion, the Bible says “For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (fear) but a spirit of power, of love and of self discipline” (or sound mind) 2Timothy 1:7. If God has not given you the spirit of fear, then there is absolutely no need to entertain that spirit. Instead, clothe yourself with power, love and sound mind. Once you determine to do this, Satan will not have any hold over you; he will not be able to arrest you and mess with your life.

I encourage you to enjoy the love of God and His faithfulness everyday, and His divine and perfect love will cast out fear. Amen
