The very reason why I’m alive, hopeful, joyful and peaceful is because the Lord our God still speaks to today. If He sustained the existence of the whole creation by the word of His power, then that includes you and me as His created speaking beings. Truly, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.” (Matthew 4:4)
A testimony is powerful regardless of how small it may seem. One may view it insignificant but its effect cannot be denied that once shared and heard, it will create a ripple in someone’s heart to desire the same. It is an evidence or proof provided by the existence or appearance of something that happens in one’s life. It is an answer to a prayer. It is a seed that when received in the fertile ground of our hearts can produce a confident expectation that we shall see the goodness of God in the land of the living as we sit and listen to the one sharing his own encounter with Jesus Christ, our King.
“The Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush.” (Exodus 3:2)
When Moses saw the burning bush, he drew near, he looked and beheld. He saw this GREAT SIGHT why the bush did not burn. Then, He heard God calling him.
The Lord chose Moses to send him to Pharaoh that he may bring His people out of Egypt. He surely SAW the oppression of His people and have HEARD their cry because of their taskmasters, for He KNEW their sorrows.
Our expectations are landing strips for our breakthroughs to manifest. These expectations are from God (Psalm 62:5), as we wait for Him to manifest what He has promised. Yes, there will be instructions along the way. There may be failures that we will encounter, but these are not meant to discourage us. They are simply there for us to learn how to be led by the Holy Spirit as we journey our lives in Christ, as He takes us from strength to strength, from faith to faith, from glory to glory.
I always love asking the Holy Spirit the secrets behind the great men of God whose names are mentioned in the Bible. I may not have many answers but surely He unveils our eyes little by little to see what those characters are that made them exceptionally special.
“I am the Alpha and the Omega [the Beginning and the End],” says the Lord God, “Who is [existing forever] and Who was [continually existing in the past] and Who is to come, the Almighty [the Omnipotent, the Ruler of all].” (Revelation 1:8 AMP)
Many of us heard that the Word of God is our manual in life. Does anyone need PEACE today? Need direction? Need healing? Need provision? Need hope? Need a companion? Need a Father? Need a Savior? Anything that we need, JESUS is the answer! He is the Tree of Life. He is the Word made flesh Who dwelt among us. He came to reveal to us the heart of our Heavenly Father. He was given to us to powerfully demonstrate the great love of our Daddy God. He came that we may have and enjoy life and have it more abundantly.
The Word God doesn’t confine Him. It reveals Him Who is Worthy. He loves to be known by us and Whom we know, we trust.
The most hopeful person is the most influential. Do you know why? Because nobody wants to be around people who are hopeless, with a defeated mindset. We long for acquaintances, friendships and relationships that uplift, encourage and speak life into our lives.
When a new opportunity comes knocking at our doors and we have opened ourselves to receive it, surely it will require necessary adjustments to our schedules. We just don’t need a new timetable, but most importantly new ways require a new way of thinking for it to be effectively achieved. Our lives go according to our most dominant thoughts. We may not be aware of how powerful our thoughts are, but they really are.
I was watching a woman who happened to be just thinking and believing of how she can make ends meet. She’s got rent to deal with, bills to pay and food to buy for her to live. What encouraged me was that she pressed in on what could she possibly do. She thought of something within her reach and turned it into a work of art that brought forth provision. She had chipped and broken ceramic pieces like plates, cups, etc, and saw beyond. Little did she know that out of those seemingly useless broken pieces emerged a beautiful masterpiece of ceramic mosaic.
Behold, I Am With You Always! -JESUS
