Your mind gets renewed daily as you meditate and do the word. You come to the point where your mind cannot be changed about Father God’s nature and character. Trust is built on the verity of a person’s nature and character and this is what you can hang on in the day of adversity because you may be so overwhelmed that you don’t even remember the promises. However, when your focus is on God and His character, the greatness of His love will swallow up the challenge before you.

The more you are growing in Christ, the more thankful you will be. The more thankful you are, the more trusting you will be. The more trusting you are, the more at peace you will be. The more at peace you are, the greater the flow of His grace and glory in your life. ‘Thank you’ is a polite way of accepting what has been offered as good and fitting. Of the ten lepers, only one was totally restored to wholeness because of His trust. Those who acknowledge that which God has done in their lives even though not yet tangible are bound to see the full manifestations...

We're created and fitted with hearing faculties to process the sounds we hear. We have the inner ear and outer ear. While most are familiar with the outer ear, the inner ear is most crucial as it determines a person's reality. Faith and fear are realities that people deal with and they come as a result of what a person is hearing. One of the most effective ways to improve your hearing is by focusing on God’s Word. You can’t just live on the memory of the word of God; you have to keep hearing it.

Mark 4:24TPT  "Then he said to them, “Be diligent to understand the meaning behind everything you hear, for as you do, more understandi...

It is common knowledge in the community of believers that we've been born again into a prepared life. Re-created people that will fulfill the destiny he has given each of us, for we are joined to Jesus, the Anointed One. Even before we were born, God planned in advance our destiny and the good works we would do to fulfill it! Our devotion and emotion at the spire of their Everest cannot rake the tip of His. Jesus is always the initiator in every aspect of our relationship with Him. Acknowledging Him as the Pioneer and Perfecter enables you function from rest in spite of the agony and contradictions that lead to shame so that you don't get worn out nor cave in under life's pressure.

Philippians 2:13 BBE  "For it is God who is the cause of your desires and of your acts, for his good pleasure." It is common knowl...

The amazing thing about God's plan is that it seems like a big puzzle to us. And a puzzle is not a beautiful picture until you take each piece and connect them together. If you think you have trouble with following God's plan, imagine Father Abraham who at age 75 was asked to leave his comfort zone to get to a promised land that he will be shown only when he got there. And yes, he got to the promised land only to meet a famine there. After famine struck the land, Abraham took a wrong turn, one that took him away from God's path.

Every time there is scarcity, it is not that what people need is not available; it is just that they are unable to get it due to situations or factors beyond their control. The situation in our text scripture is not different from the situation in contemporary times. Perhaps, you have even felt that if you bring in austere measures to your finances or cut back on your expenses then you will be able to survive at least. Therefore refuse to be distracted by the situation in the city or country of your residence. Rather keep your sights on your Source – our Heavenly Father....

John 2:5  “His mother said to the servants, whatever He says to you, do it.” Every time there is scarcity, it is not that what people need i...

The most despised tool we have is our words. It is necessary to redefine the nature of the world around us. The gift of encouragement is divine because it releases an energy and a force field in the hearer that creates access and influence within society in ways that would be impossible without favour. The kingdom of God is activated upon a person when grace filled words are spoken. It is more than a natural use of words to make someone feel good about themselves or their circumstances...

Ephesians 4:29 MSG  "Watch the way you talk. Let nothing foul or dirty come out of your mouth. Say only what helps, each word a gift.&q...

Marketplace people played a vital role in the emergence, establishment and expansion of the Early Church. A city cannot exist without a marketplace, in the same fashion that a body cannot live without a heart. Early Christians made the marketplace the focal point of their ministry because their occupations regularly took them there. As they conducted their business, it was natural for them to present the gospel to the people they encountered. When you understand that the LORD may be calling you to make that position the platform for ministry, there is a release of freedom and power for you to fulfill the call.

2 Corinthians 10:13Weymouth  “We, however, will not exceed due limits in our boasting, but will keep within the limits of the sphere which G...

I reckon that at some point you may fall into any of these categories of persons and therefore need a mid course correction:

1. Those who have no vision and wonder how to obtain one.

2. Those who have a vision but are stuck in the mud of confusion not knowing what to do next.

3. Those who had a vision but have abandoned it because of discouragement, disillusionment, some measure of failure, or frustration.

An honest assessment of your current state is always important so that you can make the necessary adjustments in tandem with your expected outcome. The disciples of Jesus, feeling a sense of great loss and confusion were at the place a lot of us are and how we feel even right now. However, the beautiful thing about mid course correction is that the LORD always is willing and desirous to bring us into alignment with His plans and purposes.

John 21:3-4TPT "Peter told them, “I’m going fishing.” And they all replied, “We’ll go with you.” So they went out and fished through the night, but caught nothing.

It is a fact that though we see with our eyes, we see through our minds; which means that our minds colour our perspective over every matter we ever consider. It is to this end that we must evaluate what shapes our minds since it determines the scope of our judgment and consequent interpretation. It is so critical that though you have been brought into the newness of life; it is your consciousness that determines your reality.

Galatians 6:15-16TPT “Circumcision doesn’t mean a thing to me. The only thing that really matters is living by the transforming power of thi...
