Not everyone who you grow close to or who comes close to you cares about you.

Not everyone who you grow close to or who comes close to you cares about you.

 

Judges 16 : 4-5

Afterward it happened that he loved a woman in the Valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah. And the lords of the Philistines came up to her and said to her, “Entice him, and find out where his great strength lies, and by what means we may overpower him, that we may bind him to afflict him; and every one of us will give you eleven hundred pieces of silver.”

 

However in every situation that you face God’s purpose for you is bigger than you.

Even if they can try to harm you but since they can’t harm your source then it ISN’T over!

Even if they can try to harm you but since they can't harm your source then it ISN'T over!

 

Gen.26:15-17

For all the wells which his father's servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth. And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we. And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.

 

I'm bothered by this act of the enemy stopping or closing or even taking away something that you've worked so hard to mine. Let me tell you something the enemy is scared of your success and not only that but the enemy is scared of the strength that you receive from your source. It is even worse when you know that your source is Jehovah because no matter how many times the enemy fails because of his fear (satan) he won't stop until you give up.

 

Tell me who are you satisfying when you give up? Is it you? No! or God! Absolutely not but you will surely satisfy the enemy from that. Lempi akusiyo eyenyama (efesu 6:12)! What I love about Isaac the man of God didn't fight back but he knew that his place was in God. After digging up three more well's (Esek, Sitnah, Rehoboth) they still fought him but he never gave up. Why? Because no matter who tries to harm us whoever that is cannot harm Jehovah the God of hosts!

 

Gen.26:24

And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake

Sometimes you are delayed just because you haven’t learned the lesson that God wants you to learn…

Sometimes you are delayed just because you haven't learned the lesson that God wants you to learn…

 

Joshua 5:6

For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would not shew them the land, which the LORD sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey.

 

You can never go to the next grade until you've passed your current grade. Each grade has its own curriculum and everyone is required to pass that curriculum in order for them to progress to the next. Your life might feel like its rounding in circles and you're not progressing only to find out that there are still a lot of lessons that you haven't learned because every situation presents an opportunity for you to learn a lesson and pass it.

 

The children of Israel were rounding in circles in the wilderness for forty years just because they had to learn the hard way that the voice of God needs to be obeyed. Amazingly what took them 40 years to learn took 40 days for the King of kings Jesus Christ to learn who was in the very same environment (Matthew 4:1-11).

 

I always say if God has granted you the opportunity to wake up in the morning then that means you still have a chance to change your ways. USomandla uyalalelwa!!!

The enemy will always pursue

The enemy will always pursue

 

Exodus 14:8

And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with an high hand

 

As much as the devil doesn’t get tired the mighty hand of the Lord also doesn’t get weary. Therefore we shouldn’t be found resting instead we should pray without ceasing (1 Thes 5:17).

 

I can only imagine the excitement of the children of Israel once they thought that once they went out of Egypt it was all over. Only to find out that it was only the beginning. When pharaoh pursued after them he knew that they were going to reach a dead end (the sea) but what he didn’t know was that the Lord that they served was a God who turns a dead end into a resurrected beginning.   

 

Maybe you’ve just come out of one problem only to find out that there’s another one waiting for you. I want to say to you it is not the end for you. No matter how much satan pursues but you serve the most high God the God of resurrection and His high hand never gets weary.

There are people who speak before the child is born.

There are people who speak before the child is born.

 

Zacharias was made dump because of his unbelief and as a result of that the child had to be born first before he could be allowed to say anything to anyone. There are people who speak before the child is born and there are those people who speak whilst not believing that the child could be born.

 

Luke 1:20

And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.

 

Angithi uNkulunkulu wamzala umntwana uJesu Kristu emuntwini? If God was able to produce Christ from an ordinary human then it is evident that so many more miracles can be fulfilled by God in our lives in His season. The child Christ has to be born within you first before you can talk about or see the miracles of God and faith is the only way for Him to be born within you.

 

Nicodemus thought there was a certain formula or maybe a cash payment but to his surprise he was referred to the child being born again (John 3:3) in order to enter the kingdom of God. So if you are one of those who speak whilst not believing what you preach be careful! and again if you are one of those who speak before the child is born within you be careful! because it very dangerous to speak about the things that you do not know.

Productive love

God’s love for us achieved countless things and what I have learned from it is that we shouldn’t just end by saying we love each other but the love that we say we have for each other has to achieve. Uthando lwethu ludinga ukuzuza.

 

John 3:16

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

 

If our love is non-productive then where are we headed? Do you know that 10 years could pass without any achievements whilst someone is saying “I love you”? It’s similar to saying “our church is a great church” whilst we haven’t achieved much from it. 

 

God made flowers so that they could flourish and He created trees so that they can produce so we need to have actions that will achieve.

In the presence of the Lord

Exodus 34:30

And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him.

 

During the course of liberating the children of Israel Moses followed most of God’s commands and performed so many miracles (Exo.4/7/8 etc.) however the only time we see him transforming is when he spent most of his time in the presence of the Lord (Exo.34:28).

 

Following most of God’s commandments didn’t transform Moses and neither did performing miracles but what transformed Moses was dwelling in the presence of the Lord (John 15:4). Bazalwane many of us can follow God’s law and many of us might perform miracles in His name but if we don’t dwell in His presence transformation is far from us. (2 Cor. 5:17)

 

Mathew 7:22-23

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Black jacks

Whenever you come out of any bush you normally have to pick off black jacks that are clinging on to you which are somehow proof that you were in the bush.

 

Through God’s grace we often come out of really tough situations in life but I’ve seen that most of us often forget to pick off the remainders of those tough situations and we don’t want to let go of them. If you don’t pick off the black jacks what happens? They prickle you. If you don’t pick off your past and you don’t want to let go of it, what will happen? It will haunt your present and future.

Hebrews 12:14-15

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord : looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled.

 

Only Grace has the power to rub out where we come from. I’m not saying forget but all I’m saying is let go…

There is a saying in isiZulu “icala livula ingubo lingene” which means “trouble always invites itself”. 

There are positions and circumstances in life that you have never imagined yourself in but you end up being dragged into them not by choice but by force.

 

Acts 12:5

Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.

 

When I come up against such troubles I always remember that there is always a new lesson for me to learn and there is conquering that I will gain through Christ my saviour. I love God because He never leaves His position instead we are always quick to leave ours. Peter didn’t ask to be imprisoned but circumstances put him in prison. Through the unceasing prayer of the church the angel of the Lord came upon Peter. And even though Peter was in a time and place of darkness but the angel brought light into the prison cells.  

 

Acts 12:7

And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.

 

What’s interesting is that the angel had to hit Peter in order to raise him up. There are things that have to strike you in your time of darkness in order for you to remember who you are. The Word of God is one of those things. Peter’s chains fell off not because someone untied him but because the angel of the Lord spoke the Word.

Run that ye may obtain.

In life you will always have spectators.

Some are there to applaud and support you.

Some are there to bring you down and criticize you.

Some are there just because they want to come on to your field and distract you.

 

Nevertheless regardless of the fact that you are surrounded by all of these spectators let your point of focus be on completing the race that God has designed for you. You+God against the world.

Has church become a showroom instead of being a place where one can search for Christ?

Has church become a showroom instead of being a place where one can search for Christ?

 

Every scripture that I remember where the apostles were begging the brethren’s to do something it was all done in the cause of fulfilling acts of faith in Jesus Christ. However most of our present day pastors are currently begging for nothing more than just church membership in order to fulfil congregational intents. And whether 90% of the congregation is still indulging in sin or not but the most important thing to our congregations is numbers and amusement.

 

1 Corinthians 1:10

Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing…

 

Galatians 4:12

Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am…

 

Romans 12:1

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice…

 

Romans 15:30

Now I beseech you, brethren… strive together with me in your prayers to God for me…

 

Has the nower day church become a showroom instead of being a place where one can search for Christ?

The question shouldn’t be where are you oh Lord? But it should be where am I?

The question shouldn't be where are you oh Lord? But it should be where am I?

 

Daniel 6:10

Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.

 

You need to understand where you are in order for you to position yourself. Daniel understood his surrounding very well hence he was able to elevate into the chamber facing Jerusalem to pray before the Almighty God. Listen Jesus understood where He was that is why we find Him uttering these words (Mat.26:39 "My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.").

 

Let God reveal where you are in order for you to position yourself and no matter how hurtful that process is but it is better to know where you are instead of walking in blindness. God will reveal where you are and who's who in your life because not every place is for you and not everyone is by you. (Mat 7:21).

The outward man is bound to perish.

2 Corinthians 4:16

For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

 

Regardless of when or how but fact is that the outward man will perish. So the main project should be on the inward man who has to be renewed day by day.

 

Even if you can go daily for botox; plastic surgery; make over; you can name it but if transformation through Christ hasn’t taken place in the inward man then there can be no rehabilitation (akukho ukulungisiswa) Acts 13:39.

It isn’t about me but it is about us.

It isn't about me but it is about us.

 

We serve a King who makes a difference and wants us to also make a difference in wherever we can. Christ has taught us that our faith shouldn't be a selfish kind of faith but instead it should be an inclusive kind of faith (Phil 2:4). Where everyone gets a chance to make whatever little difference they can do. 

 

Why would we be taught to "love our neighbours as we love ourselves", if our neighbours were not important? (Mat. 22:39)

 

Why would we be taught to pray "OUR FATHER which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name", if we were not all from the same father? (Mat. 6:9)

 

Philippians 2:4

Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

 

If you have a selfish spirit in your mind let it be renewed in the name of Jesus Christ (Eph. 4:23) in order for you to learn how to give, submit, develop, be content etc.

Never take your worth for granted.

Never take your worth for granted.

 

What a mighty God that we serve. When you go to any shop to buy a second hand product you never pay a full price for it because its usage brings its price down. Listen you and I didn’t deserve the mercy that we received through Christ because our fleshly practices had brought down our price BUT regardless of that God had to show us His love by redeeming us with the highest price that there was or is or will ever be.      

 

That is why you should never ever take your worth for granted because if you do you automatically undermine your deserving.

 

1 Peter 1:18-19

Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

My quote for the youth as we get into youth month.

My quote for the youth as we get into youth month.

Never attempt to start a business only because you’ve just resigned. Start as early as possible so that by the time you resign you already have the experience that is needed in your field.

 

Deuteronomy 8:18

But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.

Christ the Author…

Christ the Author…

 

Hebrew 12:2

looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

 

So if Christ is the author and finisher of our faith it is evident that there is a testimony that is being written about the conduct of our faith (Heb.12:1). Everyday marks a chance for us to change every bad chapter that we have in our lives into a positive and Christ like chapter (2 Pet. 3:9). Through Christ the Son, God took the initiative to give us an opportunity to be restored and now the decision lies with us to make the most of that chance.   

 

Revelation 20:12

And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

Whether it is good or bad God has the power to use your character for His purpose.

Whether it is good or bad God has the power to use your character for His purpose.

 

-If you are the type of person who has the character of bringing other people down, God has the power to use you for His purpose to lift those whom you have put down.

Joseph’s brothers (Gen.50:20)/ Pharaoh (Exo.9:12) / Judas (Mat.26:21) etc .

-If you are the type of person who has the character of faith, God has the power to use you for His purpose of directing His people.

Joseph (Gen.41:37-43)/Abraham (Gen.17:5)/Paul (Act 22.) etc.

-If you are the type of a person who has the courageous character, God has the power to use you for His purpose to save His people.

David (1 Sam 17.)/ Samson (Judg.16:30)/ Gideon (Judg.6:12) etc.

 

Almost everyone’s character that I can recall from the bible was used by God to fulfil His purpose. What kind of a character are you? And which purpose do you think God is using your character for?

Only God has the power to sustain everything

Deuteronomy 26:5-6

And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot. Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink: that ye might know that I am the LORD your God.

 

Only God has the power to sustain everything. And take note sustaining (ukugcinwa) has nothing to do with being rich or poor but has everything to do with perseverance. God proved Himself as God to the children of Israel by showing them that they can be sustained without anything that comes from men but with everything that comes from God.

 

God is omnipotent and all-sufficient and is able to sustain us without any of our assistance. (Uyakugcina uNkulunkulu ulokhu ungenzanga lutho ngoba ukugcinwa akusho ukuthi kumele ubenengcebo kodwa kusho ukuvuswa malanga onke abanye abangaphili). I want to tell you today that even a Hobo of Hobos is sustained by God because if it weren’t for Him they wouldn’t even exist.

 

Mathew 6:31-32

Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things

We are constantly in a war field.

As Christians we shouldn’t fall asleep (1 Thess. 5:5-6) however we should always be geared up with the whole armour of God (Ephis.6:11) because we are constantly in a war field. Listen if you don’t think so just ask yourself why we are facing physical diseases, mental diseases, moral impurity, false doctrines etc on a daily basis?

 

Physical Diseases

Jesus cast a demon out of a dumb man who immediately began to speak (Matt. 9:32, 33). On another occasion, a blind man began to see when the demon went out of him (Matt. 12:22). Job was afflicted physically with boils covering his body, the result of satanic activity (Job 2:1-10).

 

Mental Disease

One man lived among tombs, a practice considered unclean during this time, and created a disturbance day and night (Mark 5:4, 5). A young boy possessed with a demon involuntarily went into an apparent convulsion when he encountered the presence of Jesus (Luke 9:37-42).

 

Moral Impurity

One of the reasons God wanted the Israelites in a separate land was that the heathen nations had given themselves over to unclean spirits and had become: corrupted (Lev. 18; Deut. 18).

 

False Doctrine

Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons. (1 Timothy 4:1)

 

Eph. 6:12.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places

 

Let us put on the whole armour of God.

He or She takes after curses…

There are those demons that we entertain daily just because we think that it's nothing serious but we take after our parents or grandparents or because it runs in our families.

 

Ezekiel 18:19-20

Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live. The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.

 

I want to say to you today we need to break those chains! Be it sicknesses or tendencies but we need to break those chains in the name of the Almighty Son of God Jesus Christ of Nazareth. If we keep God's statutes and do what is right in His eyes we have the authority to ask for life from Him who gives us life. The life that is within His only begotten Son; the life that breaks all chains that are surrounding previous and current generations. In Christ we can do all things.

 

Proverbs 26:2

As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, So the curse causeless shall not come.

God is the Master of our lvies...

If you’ve ever been a Master of Ceremony you’d know that in the middle of your programme people who aren’t part of the programme will come ask you to say a few words because they reckon they know whoever has the ceremony. Even though they get a chance to say or do whatever they’d like to but they finish and you’d get back to the programme.

 

Listen God is the Master of our everyday lives and even though the devil reckons he knows you and wants to be part of your life programme he does get his two minutes of fame BUT then the programme goes back to its Master. All I am saying is that “hang on because your life isn’t finished until God says it is finished.”

 

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

God teaches us that reconciliation has nothing to do with who did what wrong or right.

Philippians 2:7-8

but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

 

What a lesson! God did not only humble His only begotten Son Jesus Christ before us and for us but He too humbled himself. Even though we were and still are the transgressors but because of His love He chooses to make a way for us to reconcile with Him regardless. Often it is hard for us humans to make an effort to reconcile with those who have hurt us however if we want to adopt a Christ like mind (Philippians 2:5) this is one of the most important lessons that we need to learn.

 

Colossians 1:19-22

For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell: and, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight.

Ubuzalwane abamukelwa ebumnandini.

Izaga 17:17

Umngane uthanda ngezikhathi zonke, nomzalwane uzalwa ekuhluphekeni

 

Yebo igama ungalamukela ebumnandini kanjalo nodumo kanye nobusonto ungabamukela ebumnandini kodwa akwenzeki ukuthi ubuzalwane ubamukele kumnandi.

 

Ngiyaye ngithi uma ngibheka emuva empilweni yami ngikhumbule izikhathi ezazinzima engake ngabhekana nazo nezangifundisa ukuthi ubheka kuJesu Kristu hhayi ebunzimeni nasebantwini bese ngibone ubukhulu bukaJehova nokuzalwa kwami ekukholweni yiNkosi uJesu Kristu. Uma uJesu Kristu ethi ku-Mathewu 11:28  “Zanini kimi nina nonke enikhatheleyo nenisindwayo, mina ngizakuniphumuza” nginesiqiniseko nobufakazi bokuthi wayengakhulumi into engekho.

 

UNkulunkulu wayekhona ekuqaleni (Gen.1:1) futhi noma umuntu ezama eyakhe imizamo usuke ekhona. Okuthokozisayo ngoNkulunkulu ukuthi unesineke sokukumela wenze ngeyakho indlela ngoba azi kahle ukuthi uzokhathala. Futhi noma usukhathele akasivali esakhe isandla kodwa uthi “woza nobunzima bakho” bese ulungisiswa ngoba yilapho ozalwa khona nalapho owamukela khona igama elisha (Isaya 62:2). Ngigcwala amandla uma ngizwa izindaba zamadodana kaThixo oShadiraki, noMeshaki, no-Abedi Nego (Dan. 3) oDavide (1 Sam.23:9-29) oDaniyeli (Dan 6.16) kanye nabanye abaningi ngoba ngazi ukuthi labazalwane bazalwa enhluphekweni.

 

Sihlobo sami lapho nawe ukhona qina bese ubheka kuJesu Kristu lapho insindiso ikhona khona.

Umuntu akanakinga noJesu Kristu kodwa into enenkinga naye izono zomuntu namademoni akuye.

Marku 5:6-8

Wathi ukuba ambone uJesu esekude, wagijima, wakhuleka kuye; wayesememeza ngezwi elikhulu, ethi: “Nginamsebenzi muni nawe Jesu, Ndodana kaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke? Ngikufungisa uNkulunkulu, ungangihluphi. Ngokuba wathi kuye: “Phuma kulo muntu, moya ongcolileyo”.

 

Kumele sikhumbule ukuthi umuntu ungumfanekiso kaNkulunkulu (Gen.1:27). Okuveza ngokusobala ukuthi nembala buyafuneka ubudlelwano phakathi komuntu noNkulunkulu. Inkinga akusiye umuntu kodwa izinto eziphethe umuntu.. Ungizwe kahle izwi liveza ukuthi kukhona indoda eyayihlala emathuneni eyayizilamaza ubusuku nemini kodwa mhla ibona uJesu Kristu yagijimela kuye ngoba ngaphakathi kwayo yayazi ukuthi ayidalelwanga lempilo eyayiphila kodwa inkinga eyayibhekene nayo ilamademoni ayeyibusa.

 

Bheka ke uma lendoda seyikuJesu Kristu akukhulumi yona kodwa kukhuluma lamademoni ayo athi “Nginamsebenzi muni nawe Jesu, Ndodana kaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke?”. Ngithi mina nanamhlanje uma izwi leNkosi uJesu Kristu lifika kithi kulwa ububi bethu kuqala thina singakasho lutho. Lapho oshumayelayo ethi “kumele uthethelele” bese kuvuka amagqubu kuwe athi “angeke ngimthethelele lomuntu owangenza kanjena”; noma ethi oshumayelayo “uJesu ungamanzi okuphila akukho okunye ukuphuza ekumele sikuphuze ngaphandle kukaJesu” kuvuke ukoma kumuntu kuthi “angeke ngihlukane nezinye iziphuzo uyadlala lomuntu”. Buningi ububi kanti zinengi nezono zethu thina abantu khumbula izwi lithi asibambene nenyama negazi (Efes. 6:12) okukhomba khona ukuthi impi esilwanayo ekamoya.

 

Sihlobo sami ilwa namademoni abhekene nawe nobubi bakho bonke ngezwi leNdodana (Heber.4:12).

Let the cup pass according to His will.

Matthew 26:39

And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

 

My main focus for today from our Lord’s Prayer at gethsemane is the contents of the cup that he was referring to when he prayed at that moment in time. You must bear in mind that it wouldn’t have made sense that He would ask for an empty cup to be passed not as He will’s, but as God wills. So the cup wasn’t what mattered most but its contents were more significant.

 

You must remember that Jesus Christ had to endure pain, suffering, affliction, disgrace, grief etc. just so that we as God’s people can be saved. Now whatever the Lord endured was what the cup consisted of. We all have our own cups that need to pass in our own lives. Maybe your cup is full of pride, hate, grudges, jealousy, lies, hardship etc. let it pass my friend. And not by your own will but let it be according to God’s will. No matter how painful it may be let it pass by God’s will.

 

You’re will is always easier but God’s will needs endurance. So let the cup pass according to His will...

 

Have a blessed day.

There is nothing more dangerous than being in the comfort zone.

1 Corinthians 10:12 KJV
Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

Now the Word of God constantly reminds us that while we exist in this world we are in a constant battle against our flesh,  the worldly principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness, spiritual wickedness in high places etc. (Ephesians 6:12). So it is our duty not to be too comfortable but to always prepare ourselves for any kind of ammunition that is targeted at us (1 Peter5:8).

It is so easy for someone who has become too comfortable to lose notice of their own downfall (2 Samuel 12: 5-9). And even spiritually it is so easy for other spirits to take over someone who has become too comfortable. "1 John 4:6" Speaks about the SPIRIT OF ERROR that is where you start finding tweaked teachings or teachings that have gone soft on worldliness because people have become too comfortable forgetting now that they are pleasing other people more than the Almighty God.

Let us remember who we are, where we come from and where we are going in order to watch and stay sober.

1 Thessalonians 5:6 KJVI
Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

DOMINION

Genesis 1:28 KJV
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have DOMINION over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

You can never have dominion over something when you don't even know it's source of origin. Listen the heavens and the earth were created by the Word of God. Therefore in order for you to have dominion over all things that move upon the earth you need to equip yourself with the Word of God because through the Word all things are created.

Through faith in the Word of God Abraham had dominion on earth to such an extent that his son Isaac was born when he was at the age of 100 (Genesis 17:17). Through faith in the Word of God David had dominion on earth to such an extent that he defeated so many Giants in his lifetime (2 Samuel 21:22). And lastly through faith in the Word of God Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed–nego had dominion on earth to such an extent that they were never burnt in the midst of the burning fiery furnace (Daniel 3: 23-24).

You can have the same dominion only if you choose to dwell in the Word of God because it is the Way,Truth and Life (Deut.  30:19)
