Reflect On God's Goodness

O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people. 2 For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD. (Psalm 117:1-2 KJV)

When last have you just paused, stopped complaining and just thought about God's Goodness?

During a conversation last night with an acquaintance on Facebook, I got thinking. I had asked the young lady what she was up to and her response was startling. She said, "I'm just here chilling and thinking about how good God has been to me." 

Honestly, you really don't get much talk about God from young people whether online or offline. ESPECIALLY  FROM  LADIES. I commended her immediately. You see, each day we awake, we have a choice to make. We can either worry and stress about yesterday's happenings and the storms we have to face today or we can just relax and reflect on how good God has been to us over the past days, weeks, months, years.

While laying on my bed this morning, I was trying to figure out how I would deal with a particular matter today. Honestly, I started stressing a bit. My mind went back to many other challenges that I had previously and how God answered my prayer and helped EVERY TIME.

I immediately carried the matter to God's throne and did what he asks us all to do in 1st Peter 5:8, "Cast our cares on him." That is exactly what I encourage you to do today. Put every burden, every trial, every issue, every fear, every circumstance on Jesus today and leave them there.

God's merciful kindness has brought each of us to where we are today and will take us onward too. God's truth and Word never changes. God gives us many promises. Here is one in Hebrews 13: 5 I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

So, don't choose to stress and worry today. Instead, lift up your hands, heart and voice and just praise the Lord. Sing aloud. You can dance too. Nothing is wrong with rejoicing and praising God in the midst of your deepest trial. Paul and Silas did that and God came through for them. Their situation changed IMMEDIATELY. God still can provide instant, immediate and miraculous deliverances. Don't give up. Keep praising and trusting. Remember,  O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people. (Psalm 117:1 KJV)

Hope is Ahead.

God Is Not Like That

Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom. (Micah 7:5 KJV)

Has your heart been left in shambles because of some shocking act committed against you by a friend? I feel your pain. I know what it's like. I've been there OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER again. This is a great time to cling more to The Master because God is not like that.

I oft times have to encourage persons who've been tremendously hurt by someone they once considered a close friend, husband, wife or family member. These sessions are usually filled with much tears or on the contrary, ANGER.

I've had many personal situations like that to face during my life. Here's one. Sometime ago, as God would have it, my telephone rang. It was someone I considered a real good acquaintance. I repeatedly kept saying hello, but got no response. I assumed they were going to talk with me but was probably finishing a quick task.

I held on for a few more seconds. I then heard the voice of the person. They started talking, but NOT  TO  ME - but ABOUT ME. Some of the things I heard them saying in the conversation about me were shocking. They were properly occupied trying to tear my name apart. YES  I  HEARD  THE ENTIRE  CONVERSATION. I knew the person well and so I easily picked up some of the colleagues who were also engaged in the conversation. They say hello and smile with me each time they see me - even until TODAY and they don't know that I heard.

Having hung up. I wondered how I should behave after. Should I stop talking to them forever? Should I forgive them now or later? Should I tell them about it? Should I leave it there?

What would you do? I'm sure that our answers would vary.

Honestly, I had always heard preachers share about God being the truest friend ONLY, so I refused to let this situation bother me. I was reminded of the words in Micah 7:5, "Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide:

I had learned another life lesson and had decided that I'll TRY my best to just be as normal as possible even around them. Up to today, they still smile with me and greet me well and talk with me and they don't know that I know. TECHNOLOGY!!! Since I've started that practice, I've learned to make it a common part of my life. I've built my own guiding statement and try to live by it. "Even when others wrong me, talk bad about me and wish me bad, I should still bless them and be the best good Samaritan I could be."

Global reader, it was soon after developing that strategy, that I was reminded of  Romans 12:20,  "Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head."

If I had not learned to develop that strategy, the many occurrences of so called friendly disappointments would have turned me into an angry lad or crazy street roamer. So when I'm talked about negatively and I know who did the talking, I still act normally to them. You should too! Isn't that what the Bible says in Romans?

Still treat them like Kings and Queens! HEAP  UP  THE  COALS  OF  FIRE  ON  THEIR  HEADS!!! As you trod throughout life, expect daily, weekly, monthly, yearly SHOCKERS from those you consider close friends, family and co-workers. Don't hate them though.  Love Still!

Technology is a great tool. Once you know how to use it well, like me, you'll always know what everyone is saying about you. THE  GOOD  AND  THE  BAD.

It can also be very destructive at times. I thank God for using the technology over and over and over again to constantly give me a peak at REALITY so I can know how to govern my life and be very careful with friends and those I think are for me, moving forward.

If you've been terribly hurt by a friend or close loved-one, may I admonish you to put the matter in God's hands. Forgive, Forget and Learn from it.

God the Saviour, our closest friend for God is Not Like That.

Hope's Ahead!

Have MERCY On Us

And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David. (Matthew 20:30 KJV)

God will have mercy once we ask for it.

Jesus had just completed a parable teaching before his journey up to Jerusalem. As he was departing with his disciples, the passage under review today tells us that two blind men called out to him for MERCY. The multitude of people around were rebuking them, but this didn't stop their persistent cries for MERCY.

Jesus hears their cries and approaches them and asks - "What will ye that I shall do unto you?" Matthew 20:32

Having made their request to the master, Jesus had compassion on them. "Matthew 20:34 So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him."

Just as Jesus performed this miracle on the two men - he is itchy to perform a miracle in your life too. If there is a lesson we can learn from the blind men, it is this - Don't Stop Asking God for What You Want. Be Persistent!

You are not bothering him. You are not hegging him. You are not being a pest. If it's mercy you want - then it's mercy you'll get once you ask. Take your situation before the Lord and continue to do so. In his time, he will come through for you for he is MERCIFUL!

Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear. (Isa 59:1)

STAY  HOPEFUL!

Stand Still And See

You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the LORD will give you, O Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the LORD will be with you.'" (2 Chronicles 20:17 NIV)

WOW -  What a Word!

Imagine being the leader of a country and having to prepare for war. You get your best men together and prepare your best artillery. Honestly, you don’t know how the war will go - whether your nation would be victors or victims – then a stronger force says to you – You Will Not Have to Fight This Battle!

I would be utterly astonished, grateful, excited and tearful all in ONE.

Well. . . .that is just what God is saying to you here and now. He has seen your tears. He has heard your prayers. He feels your struggles. He sees how fast your heart beats at times. He knows you are trusting in him and you need him RIGHT NOW. RIGHT NOW.

Today, God’s words to Judah and Jerusalem are His words to you. Stand Firm and See the Deliverance of the Lord!

Dare 2 Be Different’s Prayer for this reader: “Dear God, We thank you for the free access that we have to your throne. Your word clearly states that when we call on you, you will answer. We ask you Lord to show up right now in the midst of the situation of this reader and PROVE that you are still a DELIVERER. Prove that you are STILL GOD - LARGE AND IN CHARGE AND YOU DEFEAT ALL ENEMIES  AND  FOES  AND PUT THEM ALL TO  PUBLIC SHAME!

Just how you helped Daniel, just how you were there for Joseph, just how you were the fourth man in the fire with Shadrach, Mesach and Abednego, we ask you to appear and deliver again starting from TODAY. May your Holy Spirit continue to minister and encourage this reader if they are saved and have their FULL  FAITH in you and if they are not, grant them your grace and mercy as they receive you even now and seek after SPIRITUALITY, not religion and tradition.

We declare things are already better FROM  TODAY in Jesus Name – Amen.”

Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the LORD will be with you. (2 Chronicles 20:17 NIV)

Oh My. . . It's Monday Again

And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. (Exodus 14:13 KJV)

Sometimes I wish Monday will stay a bit longer to come. Don't you? If it does, I'll get to rest and relax more. I'll have a bit more time to think out situations and see the best way to approach them.

For some people, they wish Monday's would never come because they are afraid to face the giants of the particular week. We all do at times.

But - You See - If we had that control, Monday will never come and God would never get to show up and deliver us like he always does once we trust him and have faith.

The children of Israel were being aggressively pursued by Pharoah's chariots after he realized they were finally moving into their freedom. As some of the Israelites saw how close the chariots were coming, they started getting sore afraid. Some shouted to Moses.  . ."It's better you'd left us in Egypt as slaves than to bring us out in the wilderness to die."

Yet . . . despite of their rough and disrespectful talk, God still had his plans setup to RESCUE them from the future toils of Monday and the hard toiling days in the week. Exodus 14:14 brings a sense of HOPE when the following words are penned,  "The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace"

We sometimes get afraid and overwhelmed when the pressures come up on us hard. I know its easy to say but hard to do - but Just Do Not Worry. God sometimes takes us right to the end of the pole to teach us a lesson. Rest assured, he would never let you fall.

Hope is ahead for you!

They Will Be Ashamed

Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.(Psalm 40:14 KJV)

Don't worry about those that wish bad for you today. They will DEFINITELY end up ashamed tomorrow!

She stepped into my office and gave me a guilty looking smile. I smiled too. I had seen the face before and was trying desperately to remember where.

"How may I help my friend?" I asked. She didn't get right into the matter at first, she took time to apologize. "I don't know if you remember our little altercation some time back. I want to say how sorry I am for my nasty behaviour and all my bad wishes for your business. Look at where I am now."

I smiled and said, "Don't worry about that man, we learn from our mistakes. I forgave you the very minute you left my presence. You see, if we all walk up and down with all our trials and burdens on our backs, this would prevent us from surging ahead to our destiny. Thanks for apologizing though. Now how may I help?"

That was such a touching HOPE  SESSION. I try not to create friendships at sessions or I would have too many people depending on me to fulfill the duties of a friend, but this session was an exception. We created a lasting bond till today.

I don't know why it is so, but the fact and reality is that many people will try constantly to dash your hopes and get you feeling down and depressed. When you make a mistake in life, they will make you feel that you are a complete failure and you can never rise again. You are probably the talk of the town in someone's home or office right now. I'm not asking you, I'm telling you. I stay busy empowering scores of persons around the world via telephone, text, whatsapp messaging, MSN and GOOGLE Chats, letters etc. I have my struggles too and I hear about what others say about me too but I just smile with them still. They don't even know that I know what they've been saying all along. If you don't want a story to get around, then we should simply SHUT UP!

Too many people feel that they have been written off and that's the end of their life. If you are one of them or getting close to that mindset, STOP  THINKING  THAT  WAY  RIGHT  NOW. People can only slow you down, they can't stop you! Once you're focused on the prize, you'll attain it.

You were born to succeed! You were born to win! You were fearfully and wonderfully made to EXCEL! One mistake or a couple mistakes DOES  NOT make you less than anybody else. YOU  CAN  RISE  AND  EXCEL  STILL!

Don't bother with those who are constantly after you to try and ensure that you NEVER rise again. Drop them in the hands of The Master - Jesus Christ and leave them there. That's what the Psalmist did. Let's look at his special request to the Father "Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil." Psalm 40:14 

Exciting! Isn't it? Everyone who is taking a laugh now at your current situation, once you put the matter in God's hands, they will end up both ashamed and puzzled at how you would have been DELIVERED. Have you ever heard the term, 'What goes around comes around or KARMA?"

Well. . . according to the Psalmist, what they wished for you, will backfire on them. They will be driven BACKWARD and they will be put to shame. YES PUT TO SHAME - ALL  THOSE  THAT  WISH  YOU  EVIL.

Don't worry about them. . . HOPE  IS  AHEAD  FOR  YOU.  You'll past this test once you ask Jesus for help. Now . . . together. . . shall we pray for our enemies and those that wish us harm?

PRAYER: LORD. . . Please BLESS and TAKE  CARE of everyone who comes up against me and wishes me harm in Jesus Name. Amen.

When God comes through for you. Don't keep your testimony to yourself. Tell everyone that He is still indeed a DELIVERER!
