Believe

There is a story in the Bible about a man named Lazarus who was dead for four days before his friend Jesus came and raised him from the dead. What a remarkable event. Mary and Martha with the help with others were already mourning Lazarus their brother. He had been dead for 4 days when Jesus arrived on the scene.

Jesus is never late!

It does not matter how drastic or dramatic the situation is. He, Jesus, is never late. “It’s never over until He says it is over” says someone. He is in control of all situations. Nothing passes His eyes. Not even a sparrow falls to the ground without Him knowing. “He is forever making intercessions for us the Bible says.

Remove the stone!

To get the needed deliverance from His negative situation, Lazarus’s loved ones were commanded to remove the stone that blocked the tomb. Let us remove what may be representing a stone in our lives. Is there any fear, doubt, prayerlessness, anger, unforgiveness, these can hinder God’s move in our lives.

Now believe and receive!

In John 11:40 Jesus said to Martha that “if she believed she would see the glory of God.” Simple as stated, we must believe. All things are possible for those who believe. Do you believe that after you have done all you can to see God’s goodness that you will. Yes! The Bible says that “God is a very present help in the time of trouble.”

Yes, Yes I believe!

Count Your Blessings!!

Count your many blessings see what God has done! As the year closes we may be tempted to think of the negative things that might have taken place in our lives. Let me encourage you that before you go off on a negative rant, think of all the good things that has happened to you in spite of. Take on a new attitude, call it an "in spite of -I am grateful attitude." I am Blessed! Whatever it maybe, you have made it to the end of 2011 and now ready for 2012. You have more mountains to climb and more valleys to walk through. You are not getting weaker but in Christ growing stronger. You are not just going to be a conqueror, you are, according to God's word, "more than a conqueror." The fact that you are alive makes you a candidate for God's blessing. So today "count your blessings" and as the song says, "name them one by one and it will surprise you what the Lord has done." You are blessed, so be a blessing to someone. Have a Happy and Bl...

Lead Me to the Rock that is Higher than I

The Psalmist David knew what trouble was; He had to run for his life.  Saul wanted him dead. Rage and jealousy had put Saul in a fit.  People loved David more than Saul. David made him feel small and humiliated.  David was stealing his shine and he will not have it. He wanted sweet revenge.  He had the power and the authority to do just that, so David had to run.   This story is told so often. We wonder, why Lord? Why did this happen to me? What have I done wrong? The fact is, this is life. We win some and we lose some. The comfort we have is that we can go to our God.  When we feel abused, refused or excluded we can go to him as David did.  He will be to us a strong tower a shield and our protector.  David said when he felt overwhelmed he will go to God who stands like a solid strong protective rock. A rock that is higher than him and that when life overwhelms him, he will trust in that rock. Today, Jesus is our rock and our shelter, our s...

Teach Me to Number My Days

The psalmist asked God to teach him to number his days so that he can apply his heart to wisdom.  Clearly, he had something of great significance to make such a request.  That is, he had a teachable spirit. He was willing to learn (the way of truth and wisdom) that would enable him to have a better understanding of knowledge to better walk and live a life of truth. What Moses Knew : 1.  He understood that his days are limited. 2.  He knew that he needed God's wisdom to live. 3.  He had a teachable spirit. 4.  He wanted to live in a culture of correction. 5.  He knew that success in life depended on the knowledge he gained that gave him the understanding he needed to apply his heart to wisdom. Our Prayer today should be Lord teach me this day to so that I may apply my heart to wisdom.
