*Letter 15*
*10/07/2020*

*Dear God’s Project.*

This is my 15th letter to you, Corona virus cases are increasing daily, I pray you practice all due diligence and keep safe.

*Philippians 1:6*
Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

He desires to restore you to Himself, to see His own purity and holiness reflected in you. And if you will but yield yourself to Him, He that hath begun a good work in you will carry it forward to the day of Jesus Christ. Pray more fervently; believe more fully. SC 64

*God will finish what He begins. Your life is His project, don’t drive yourself too hard. When you are weighed down with worldly burdens and feel like giving up, never despair. Turn back to God, He has all things figured out for you till the day of our deliverance.*

God will never leave a project unfinished

*Be blessed *

**Midweek Encouragement*

*Jeremiah 18:3,4*
Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.

So the great Master Worker desires to mold and fashion us. And as the clay is in the hands of the potter, so are we to be in His hands. We are not to try to do the work of the potter. Our part is to yield ourselves to be molded by the Master Worker. MH 471, 472

One of my favorite passage in the Bible. There is one Potter of Life. He makes vessels of clay at His own pace according to his will. Hence stop playing the role of a potter, you are also marred clay, you need only God’s hands to mold you. If you feel you are now a polished and finished vessel bear with others who are still in the hands of the potter. Ngativei dhaga rinobvuma kuwumbwa naMwari.

*God knows His vessels*

_Acts 9:13 - Then Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much harm he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem.”_

Saul had encountered God on his way to Damascus and from that encounter, he was left blind and obedient to God. Unable to see, he was led by the hand into Damascus. _There are times when God has to blind our eyes so that we can get off our high horses, and be led in the right direction._

As Saul was praying, God heard his prayer. _Life will never take you to where God cannot reach you_ . Ananias was commanded to go and meet Saul, as an answer to Saul’s prayer.

Unfortunately, Ananias seemed to know more about Saul than the all knowing God knew about Saul. Ananias saw how God was making a wrong judgement on Saul and sought to correct God. He had all the historical facts about Saul’s life and how sinful it had been. He saw how undeserving Saul was of God’s salvation.

To Ananias, Saul was a persecutor of the church, but to God Saul was a chosen vessel. _The conversion of Saul is a striking evidence of the miraculous power of the Holy Spirit to convict men of sin AA .120_ .

How often are we like Ananias? We look at people’s scars and condemn them even though God has already transformed them. Man focuses on the past. _Jesus is the friend of sinners, and His heart is touched with their woe AA.122_. God visits man from the future into the present and takes man on a journey into the future and not the past.

Thank God salvation is not by popular vote but God gives everyone an equal chance for salvation.

Each one of us are God's work in progress. _God will finish the work He started Philippians 1:6._

Good morning

*He will set it on fire*

_2 Samuel 14:31 - Then Joab arose and came to Absolom’s house, and said to him, “Why have your servants set my field on fire?”_

Absolom had been a fugitive from his father David for three years in Geshur after he had killed his brother Amnon. When he returned to Jerusalem, he called for Joab to take him to his father. Twice he called for Joab and twice, Joab failed to show up.

To get Joab’s attention, Absolom commanded his servants to burn his barley field. And at that point, Joab came. Lessons we refuse to learn in a land of plenty will be mastered in a land of want.

How many times has God called you? What is stopping you from responding to His call? If what God has given us becomes a stumbling block to our salvation, He will set it on fire.

_God speaks to His people in blessings bestowed; and when these are not appreciated, He speaks to them in blessings removed, that they may be led to see their sins, and return to Him with all the heart._
- PP, p.470

Nebuchadnezzar went into the forest for 7 years for him to know that God reigns in heaven. Manasseh had to be taken away with hooks in his nose for him to remember the God of his fathers. Herod remained stubborn until worms consumed him as he sat on his throne.

Today, when you hear His voice, do not harden your voice. God might have to burn your barley field in order to get you to pray or to keep your marriage intact. Sometimes, our sight must be taken away to get us to be missionaries like Paul.

Be inspired by the words of this song by the Gaither Vocal Band

_Sometimes it takes a mountain
Sometimes a troubled sea
Sometimes it takes a desert
To get a hold of me
Your love is so much stronger
Than whatever troubles me
Sometimes it takes a mountain
To trust You and believe_

Good morning and Happy Sabbath.

*Letter 11*
12/06/2020

*Dear Doorkeeper.*

This my 11th letter to you during this Corona Virus pandemic.

*Psalm 84:10*
For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.

Obedience to God brings the soul into agreement with the highest laws in the universe. It imparts dignity and true greatness to the humblest occupation where Christ can preside. It crowns the lowliest position in life with the highest honors, bringing men into alliance with God and binding up His interests with plans and purposes that have existence in the infinite mind from eternity. (14MR 11.3)

Run away from the tents of selfishness and worldliness. But rather be the doorkeeper in the presence of the Lord. In times like these proximity matters, who are you always close to? Be careful, whoever it is,will lead you to a destiny. Though sin infected and evil addicted throw yourself in the courts of Jehovah you will be made whole.

*Be God’s doorkeeper.*

*Ps W Utete*
*Ruya District*

Midweek inspiration

John 16:33

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

By passing over the ground which man must travel, our Lord has prepared the way for us to overcome. It is not His will that we should be placed at a disadvantage in the conflict with Satan. He would not have us intimidated and discouraged by the assaults of the serpent. DA 122, 123

Along the way Jesus leads, we will face diseases, droughts, heartbreaks and all sorts of tribulations but cheer up we shall overcome. Don’t worry about speed, with Christ, we are in the right direction even though we die let us keep our faith.Victory is certain.

God bless you

Ps W Utete

*Fear is our greatest Enemy*

_Number 13:33 - There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight._

Canaan was the promised land to Israel, their blessing which they had waited for from generation to generation since the days of Abraham, but there were giants in Canaan. The giants in Canaan were of the same family with Goliath, huge in stature and powerful warriors (Joshua 11:21-22; 1 Samuel 17:4).

Your blessing could be next to an intimidating giant. You have a choice, either to depend on God and stand up to the giant or glorify the giant and give up.

_God seems to tie us to what looks impossible so that we can experience His grace._ The more the challenge looks insurmountable, the greater the blessing.

The devil specializes in instilling fear in us, and when he succeeds, we become his agents in doubting God. Instead of trusting God and His promises, we become suicidal.

Difficulties in the path of salvation dwindle and disappear before a lively, active faith in the power and promise of God. Unbelief ignores the promises and power of God, magnifies the danger and difficulty, and fills the heart with discouragement.

_Fear magnifies the problem and drives out faith. Fear sees obstacles but faith sees opportunities._

Remember the battle is always the Lord's yet the victory is ours. Always submit yourself to God, and through faith resist the devil and he will flee from you (James 4:7).

Have a great start to the week and good morning.
