BE GRATEFUL AND GIVE THANKS



PSALMS 118:1
O give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good: because His mercy endureth forever.

We have three (3) days to go before 2015 wraps up and we move into 2016. There are lots of reflections to be done and one of it is ‘thanksgiving’. Lets ask ourselves this questions:

Have you really thanked God for bringing you thus far?

Have you thanked Him for preserving and keeping you?

Have you...?

Maybe , you are saying that God has not done anything for you. Beloved, God has done alot for you.

You are complaining that 2015 has ended and nothing has happened in your life, ‘am not married and I don’t have job’. There are mentally deranged people on the street and in the psychiatric hospital, no one is thinking about marrying them. Thank God you are even fit for marriage and for a job.

You are even saying: ‘i keep seeing my menstrual flow, when will I have a children. There is someone that is even praying to see her own. Have faith, your baby will come. Thank God.

‘Father, am still a tenant. Many are sleeping on the street. Thank God.

Please, be grateful and thank God. Many have died and you are not better than them. Thank God!.
From the depth of your heart, sit down and count the blessings of God in your life. That car almost hit you but it did not. That was God.

Do you know that, your present position in life is some other person’s prayer point? Why not give this our God quality thanks; whether it was good or rough with you this year(2015).

Even if you feel or think you don’t have what to thank God for; just thank Him for what He has done for others. Remember, Job prayed for his friends and God turned his captivity around (Job 42:10).

Why give God thanks you may ask:

  • -          When you thank God for what He has done; you remind Him of what He’s yet to do. Luke 17:11-19. Verse 19 of this scripture says that only one of the lepers was made whole while the other nine where only cleansed. So, give God thanks.

  • -          Give God thanks for the blessings in your life; lest a curse comes upon it. Malachi 2:2.

  • -          Give God thanks for multiplications of your blessings. John 6:11-13

  • -          Give God thanks for the resurrection of any dead issue in your life. John 11:41-44.


And expect the best in 2016. God bless you. Peace!

WHAT DOES SACRIFICE MEAN IN A RELATIONSHIP?

Every relationship requires some sacrifices. Even, a garden full of flowers requires sacrifice to tend it. It takes sacrifice for a farmer to reap good harvest. What does it mean to be sacrificial? Being sacrificial is being selfless and loving, all out for someone and even inconveniencing yourself. So, in your relationship, you say am not the "this type of person, I am not the that type of yen yen" and you know it can make that relationship blossom, why not make sacrifices and do it. it is called sacrificial love Maybe the sacrifice you have to make is understanding and patience, taking in the other person's mental health into consideration. Nobody was born a type of person.  School, parents, environment, experiences, church, etc ; shaped us into being some type of person. But, self centeredness and selfishness hinders us from making sacrifices. Even our Lord Jesus that died and resurrected was not the "dying type of person" to die for us, but He made that sacr...

THE YEAR HAS BEGAN.

The year 2018 was a blessed year for me. The year a significant change took place in my life;  I became a mother to a glorious baby. This change didn't seem possible but just like the song writer said "my hope is built on nothing less than Jesus Christ, my righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly lean on Jesus' name. ..." . Well, here we are in a new year; 2019. Maybe you where told by the doctor you wouldn't make it to this year, but here you are. Circumstances challenged you to give up, but here you are. After experiencing 10 hours plus of labour, it didn't seem like my baby and I would make it but God made a way and we had victory. (story for another day) Our God is faithful! Encourage yourself in the Lord this year. Committ all you instead doing to Him. Have hope but work towards achieving your hope. Develop that idea you have. Improve yourself. Above all, make prayer and studying of the word of God a life styl...

WHAT SECRET SIN ARE YOU STRUGGLING WITH

' Secret sin', a dilemma of many born-again Christians. It is secret in the eyes of men but God sees it all. One minute you are on fire for God and before you know it, you are back to ground zero. Just like 'a dog going back to its vomit' (read my post on this). Am talking  about the secret sin that you are secretly enjoying, the one that prinks you, fills you with so much guilt and your conscience won't let you rest. The one that makes us ask ourselves "how will I start praying to my God now that have done this ". Well,  He said we should come come boldly to the throne of grace asking for mercy. Many of us are struggling with one secret sin or more. We have tried to quit on our own. Maybe it's draining our health, stealing your Joy and relationship with God, causing issues in your home, workplace, marriage or financially. The solutions to these 'secret sin' from a personal view are: - Ask for the help of the Holy Spirit. - F...
