Whatever You Plant Is What You'll Harvest! (Galatians 6:7) “Whatever a man sows, that he will also reap” is a natural agricultural law that Apostle Paul applies in the spiritual realm. Words have both a positive and negative effect. For those of us who have surrendered our lives to God we are farmers spiritually and we have opportunities for the rest of our life to sow spiritual things. What is the result? We reap everlasting life! This is not just life that endures trials and problems forever, but the highest quality of living that one can possibly experience. Man is called to a fullness of life which far exceeds the dimensions of his earthly existence, because it consists in sharing the very life of our Father in Heaven, a life filled with abundance in all things good! God’s Word To You: “I came so that you may have life and have it in abundance! (John 10:10) Pray this prayer with me : LORD, I ask that You direct my steps today so that my words and deeds are spiritual se...

If you abide in Me and My words abide in you, you shall ask what you will and it shall be done unto you ! (John 15:7) The New International Version teaches us, “If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish and it will be done for you! The enemy, Satan is not intimidated or concerned about how many times we attend church service or read God’s Word, but his only concern is how much Word we get in us. Satan knows God’s people will be destroyed, if they lack knowledge and they do not know the Lord. (Hosea 4:6 KJV, ESV) Satan also knows the more Kingdom of God/the Word of God we truly get in us we will in turn vocalize, stand on the Word and the devil will flee! (Matthew 4:10) It’s not enough just to get God’s word in us, but we operate in faith when we hear, speak and believe the message of the Kingdom of God, our lives are never the same and we are transformed by the supernatural power of God! Whatever the struggle, sickness or dilemma, get God’s Word in you...

Our Lord Is Great, And His Power Is Great! There Is No Limit To His Understanding ! (Psalm 147:5) Greater Is He That Is In You Than Anything In This World ! (1 John 4:4) Because our God is the greatest and we are His children, we have the victory through Jesus Christ in all things! The scripture teaches us in 1 John 5:4, every child of God defeats this evil world and this victory is achieved through our faith! This scripture simply means: “If you have the faith to receive success, healing, increase etc…, God has the power to fulfill! God is not a God of limits, but we can limit God by our unbelief. The opposite is true: When we believe God for the impossible, the unobtainable, He demonstrates His limitless ability! Access God’s unlimited ability at work in you, by asking Him for the unthinkable, the unimaginable and you will see God do much more than you can ask or think! (Ephesians 3:20) God’s greatest awaits you! God’s Word To You : "I am the LORD, the God of all mankind, n...

Those Who Wait With Hope In The LORD Will Be Renewed ! They will soar on wings like eagles. They will run and will not become weary! They will walk and will not grow tired! (Isaiah 40:31) This verse is a promise from God and God never breaks a promise! This verse is comforting and it offers an assurance and a certainty that in spite of all the craziness of life, if we continue to trust God, God will give us the strength we need to make it! God is forever and eternal, but no trial is. Seasons are just that, seasons! Yes, this may be a tough season for you, whether it is sickness, despair or defeat and everything may seem out of control, but don’t give up, God is still in control! Your season will change and your harvest will come! (Romans 8:28) God’s Word To You : "[I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake, nor let [you] down (relax My hold on you)! [Assuredly not!]" (Hebrews 13:5 Amp) Pray This Prayer With Me : Father, I pray every day You will help me to...

If we are unfaithful, He remains faithful because He cannot be untrue to Himself! (2 Timothy 2:13) The Christian life is not a life of a bed of ease. Every believer goes through rough times and dry seasons, no matter how righteous we are. In fact, we all have sinned and fallen short of His glory, but yet God still loves us the same. (Romans 3:23) If you are undergoing difficulty, you must understand that God is faithful! He’s not faithful because we have been so good, but He’s faithful to the promise He made to us when He sent Jesus to the cross! You cannot make yourself worthy of God’s faithfulness to you. God saved us through faith as an act of kindness. You had nothing to do with it. Being saved is a gift from God. It's not the result of anything you've done, so none of us can brag. (Ephesians 2:8-9) But, we are also being redeemed, transformed from inside out, to be men and women of God. As we seek Him, we grow in faith day by day, test and trials, because we are banking...

God Is With Us ! (Matthew 1:23) Trials and difficulties are simply a part of life and quite honestly, the longer we walk with the Lord the bigger trials will become. However, we do not respond in fear or defeat, but we respond in faith! The Bible teaches us in Psalm 34:19 , the righteous person has many troubles, but the LORD rescues him from all of them! When the scripture says, the LORD rescues us out of them all, it means all, even while we remain in a dangerous situation, God comes to our rescue! As I look through the scriptures and see in Daniel 3, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the midst of the fiery furnace, God was with them! In Daniel 6, Daniel was in the midst of the lion's den, God was with him! It would have been nothing for God to demonstrate His power and remove them from their situation, but no, He decided to leave them there to show them and us He doesn’t have to remove us from the situation, but He can keep us in the midst of it all! The good news is: it’s no...

Never Stop Praying! Whatever Happens, Give Thanks , because it is God's will in Christ Jesus that you do this! (1 Thessalonians 5:17-18 GWT) Thanking God in all things doesn’t mean that we thank God for evil. Rather, we are to thank God in the midst of all things, even in hardship and suffering, in bitter disappointments, when wrongly treated etc… Christians know that God will work within such situations to fulfill His good purpose in His children. Notice the scripture teaches us not only to give God thanks, but we’re to pray without ceasing! Prayer introduces a song of praise into a situation that’s so tough you may find yourself standing facing it with tears. Begin to sing, not because you say, "Well, I guess I need to submit to this because God intended me to have this horrible event in my life." But by the song, by the praise, we begin to infest the situation with the God’s presence and His power. Ultimately, as a child of God, everything is for your good. Many beli...
