  • Remember His Faithfulness

    Hey there Amazonians and Warlords,

    Sunday is a beautiful day to remind you that God cares for everything concerning you.

    Remember His faithfulness in even the little things and trust Him for everything you need.

    No matter what is happening, He never leaves His children.

    Scripture tells us God knows what is going on in our lives and is faithful.

    God’s love is unconditional and infinite — far far beyond what even the best of people are capable of.

    I hope you start your new week with the reminder that God’s Love Is Incredible, Infinite and Unfailing!

  • SUNDAY THOTS: Be Encouraged!

    No matter what comes your way, God is not surprised. Your challenge was not sent to defeat you; it was sent to increase you.

    Difficulties and obstacles are God’s challenges to faith. When hindrances confront us in the path of duty, we are to recognize them as vessels for faith to fill with the fullness and all-sufficiency of Jesus.

    God never takes away something from your life without replacing it with something better.

    I hope these words encourage someone who might be going through some difficult situation. Hold on and trust God in ALL situations. You will come out better. Be encouraged!

  • Flourish Like A Palm Tree

    The palm tree is not affected by any season. Whether in raining or dry season. You are a spiritual palm tree, no matter the season, you will always stay fresh and green.

    You will never suffer dryness and so shall it be by the grace of God, Amem.

    Happy Sunday!

  • GOD WILL PERFECT YOUR WORKS

    The Audacity Of Faith.
     
    Faith is biblically defined as the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. With the injection of our natural thoughts, there are certain events that seem impossible to the human angle. Records have been broken, feats have been re-achieved by individuals whom were once assumed to be low lives. You do not have to always stretch your thoughts in difficult situations. The bible admonishes us to cast our cares upon the Lord because he cares for us. Getting far in life is not just by your own will power. You need God to perfect your works. Proverb 16 vs 1 says; “the preparation of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the Lord.” 
     
    No matter the difficult situation that you may be facing, acknowledge the God factor. Have faith in your creator. Before we were born, God structured our lives. He knows what’s best for us. 
     
    You may have challenges and equally experiencing hopeless situations. Your heart may be aching from countless problems and all you want to do is wet your pillow with your tears and give up  on life’s race. Cheer up! God will never let you down. His grace is sufficient for us all. 1 Corinthians 10: 13 reads: There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
     
    Have faith. Lean on Jesus and let Him be your guide.

  • Word for the Day: God can turn things around

    Genesis 50:20

    You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.

    #

    It might seem like you are going through an unfortunate situation, but it just might end up a blessing in disguise. It may have been intended to hurt you, but God is more powerful than the makers of your pain and the pain itself. Things may happen to you that may be designed to shatter your world. But as long as you believe, your pain can become progress, and your misfortune can become your miracle.

    Your job is to keep believing, with a clear conscience.

    Things will turn around.

    Happy Sunday!

  • Sunday Request: What Prayer Do You Need God To Answer This Week?

    The Bible says, “Seek and you shall find. Ask and it shall be given to you” (Matthew 7:7-8)

    What’s your most heartfelt request from God this week?

    What have you been praying for all week long that you’d like God to meet?

    It just might happen this week. Maybe not.

    But God is always on time, regardless of how long it takes.

    Share your prayer requests for the new week.

    Why is that important? The Bible says in Habakkuk 2:2, “Write down the vision, make it plain”.

    Write it down, dearies.

    May all your good prayers come true!

  • #SuperSunday: Showing Gratitude

    We always think it is only those who have it all figure out that should show gratitude. First off, nobody has it all “figured out”; and also, it is actually those who lack a great deal that really should show gratitude.

    Why?

    Because when you believe you don’t have enough, you want something greater than human assistance. Right? You need God to move in your favour. Especially if nothing else seems to be working. When you show gratitude for what you have, you allow for the doors of opportunity to open right before your eyes. The doors have been there all along, but your grumbling and ingratitude blind you.

    So let us cultivate the habit of true gratitude.

    Are you ready? Here are 10 ways you can show gratitude:

    Tell the most unlikely person in your life how they have helped you discover self.

    Cook and offer someone in your neighbourhood who needs the food more than you do.

    Call someone you know who is going through a rough patch and lend them your ears. Just listen without judgments.

    Volunteer to help at an orphanage home or help with sanitation at the community market near your home.

    Cool your road rage; listen to music that heals your heart when you drive. Let the car beside drive into your lane if s/he wishes. It’s not the end of the world.

    Share an inspirational story with someone- a story that changed your life.

    Take a bottle of wine to your father/mother; spend the hour with him and gist about life. Only about things that make you both happy and trigger laughter.

    Forgive those who have hurt you. Just let it go. Anger only damages.

    Give genuine compliments to everyone you meet this week.

    Tip the door man or the security man.

    *

    If you want to receive, you have to give. Give of yourself with a genuine heart. May the universe respond to your deepest desires.

    Happy new week!

  • You need to read this real life experience

    Hi Lovelies,

    I thought to share this experience from a friend of mine. He posted it on his Facebook page. I hope it touches you and encourages you to live a life worthy of our Lord’s coming always.

    ***

    Should I call it a Vision or a Dream?
    Real experience happened early hours of Sunday January 15, 2017.

    On Saturday I arrived at the Tennis Club to hang out with my friends. We stayed late and agreed to meet at 7pm to go to a club and have drinks and listen to music. Went back to the hotel, freshened up and drove back to the clubhouse from where we went to the night club. We had drinks and ate diner and then left. I drove back to the hotel and went to bed. My alarm clock woke me up at 5am, I went to the bathroom and returned to my bed. Not sure if I slept or just in a trance but I found myself walking on the most beautiful and widest road I had ever seen. It was so smooth and I wondered why we did not have these kinds of roads. Then I looked in the distance and saw a huge gate across the road. The gate was grey in color, made of metal. It was a continuous gate, as wide as the eyes can see in both directions and the height was well into the clouds. Was amazed. But as I walked closer, I could feel the heat radiating from the gate. The heat increased with every step I took towards the gate. At some point it was becoming unbearable so asked myself, is this the entrance to hell? I then summed up courage shouted the following words. “GOD, in the name of YOUR SON our LORD and Saviour JESUS CHRIST, I don’t want to go to this hell. I then heard a loud and clear voice that said “OKAY THEN, TURN AROUND AND GO BACK.” I turned around and started walking back and then I woke up. I heard GOD speak to me. I could not look up to the direction of the voice but heard the deep but loud voice instructing me to go back. This is too vivid, scary and I cant stop thinking about it. I was very shaken when I woke up. So said to share. I am available to talk about this.

  • 7 Bible Verses To Restore Your Faith In The New Year

    We are already two weeks into 2017! Thank God for His amazing kindness.

    It has been an interesting year so far and I’m grateful for everything God has helped me accomplish so far.

    As we look forward to the rest of the year and think about our expectations and goals, I’d like us to encourage ourselves in the word of God with these Bible Verses. I hope your faith is renewed with these promises from God:

    Romans 8:28
    And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to his purpose.

    Jeremiah 29:11
    “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

    Matthew 6:34
    Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough troubles of its own.

    Jeremiah 32:27
    Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?

    Joel 2:25
    And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.

    John 14:13
    And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

    Isaiah 41:10
    Do not fear for I am with you: do not anxiously look about, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, surely I will uphold you with my righteous hand.

     

  • Sunday Thots: Your Dreams Are Not Too Big For God

    If God gives you a blank cheque, and asks you to write anything you want on it, what would it be?

    I know many of us think it is impossible for us to receive something so big from God, but the truth is, we already have it. We already have that blank cheque in our hands as children of God but sometimes limit ourselves, our dreams, and think that they are too big for us.

    I’d like to encourage us today with these words: If your dreams don’t scare you, they’re not big enough.

    God never gives you a dream that matches your budget. He’s not checking your bank account, he’s checking your FAITH. 

    Don’t let small minds convince you that your dreams are too big. When other people are scared and fearful, they project their fear onto you telling you what you cannot do. Ignore them. Go after your dreams with tenacity, boldness and readiness.

    It’s the last month of the year, but it’s never too late for God. He can make things happen even at the last minute. So, do not limit yourself any more.

    As you step into the new week, have it in mind that miracles start to happen when you give as much energy to your dreams as you do to your fears.

    Have a splendid Sunday!

    💚💗💛
