Continue To Run Your Race, Until The Race Is Over And Won ! The race isn't [won] by fast runners, or the battle by heroes! (Ecclesiastes 9:11) But whoever will endure until the end will be saved! (Matthew 24:13) You Are A Winner, Running At Your Pace ! In this world, we will encounter difficult situations, but during those times, we must never forget the words of our Lord and Savior, "These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world!" (John 16:33) Sometimes it seems like God is slow to act or to get involved where He's needed the most, but we must be patient and never doubt the Lord's will and His timing! As long as you think that you don't have a right to win or keep saying, "it is what it is" you will not enjoy victory or success that lies ahead. In a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize, so pace yourself and run to win! (1...

At Just The Right Time You Will Reap A Harvest Of Blessing, If You Don't Give Up ! (Galatians 6:9)   Everything has its own time, and there is a specific time for every activity under heaven! (Ecclesiastes 3:1) A time to cry and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance! (Ecclesiastes 3:4) Occasional disappointments and failures in life are to be expected, but our good days outweigh our bad. Hold On A Little While Longer ! Let us hold fast the confession of our faith without wavering, for He who promised is faithful! (Hebrews 10:23) It’s a common trend in the world today for people to blame all their problems on past events or others such as: their family, their environment or society etc… As children of God, our past circumstances do not predict or dictate our present or future outlook, because we serve a God who has made a way for us to overcome everything that has happened or will happen negatively in our lives. Christian life is about overcoming obstacles, risin...

You Do Not Have, Because You Do Not Ask God For It ! (James 4:2) " A SK, and you will receive. S EARCH, and you will find. K NOCK, and the door will be opened for you. Everyone who asks will receive. The one who searches will find, and for the one who knocks, the door will be opened! (Matthew 7:7-8) God Hears You ! This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us! (1 John 5:14) "The word "confidence" in this text describes a person who is faithful, bold and certain that God will answer prayer! In the context of prayer, the word confidence gives us a picture of a believer who prays fervently and unashamedly. What gives a believer this kind of confidence? The verse goes on to tell us: "If we ask any thing according to His Will, He hears us. Praying scriptural and in faith is important. When you know God's will & ask Him to do something that is in agreement with His Will, you can be 100% sure...

Make no mistake about this: You can never make a fool out of God. Whatever You Plant Is What You'll Harvest! (Galatians 6:7) Don’t waste your time, energy or efforts trying to get even or get back at someone who wronged you. Be mindful of how you treat others, because one day you will reap (harvest) what you have sown (planted)! Trust The LORD, And Do Good Things ! (Psalm 37:3) It's my observation that those who plow evil and sow trouble reap evil and trouble. (Job 4:8) The wicked conceive evil; they are pregnant with trouble and give birth to lies. They dig a deep pit to trap others, then fall into it themselves. (Psalm 7:14-15) Don’t allow un-forgiveness to hold back your blessings, but instead, choose to forgive those who have wronged you and press forward towards the greatness God has for you! God’s Word To You : “I tell you this: Love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you. In this way you show that you are children of your Father in heaven.” (Matthew...

God Can Do Anything & God’s Plans Are Unstoppable ! (Job 42:2) Don't stop praying don't stop believing! Your current condition can determine your elevation or your devastation. According to God’s plan, trust things are changing for your good! (Romans 8:28) God Always Gets The Final Word ! "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty!" ( Revelation 1:8 ) Everything begins and ends with Christ & Christ is always in control! The next time you get distracted or worried over a situation, focus your mind to think on how much God loves you and remember, It’s Never Over, Until God Says So! God’s Word To You : “I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a future filled with hope!” Pray this prayer with me : Father, I pray my eyes remain continuously focused on Your kingdom, my heart centered on You, my mind enli...

Glory Belongs To God, Whose Power Is At Work In Us! By This Power He Can Do Infinitely More Than We Can Ask Or Imagine !

Blessings people of God and I hope this day is a blessed day for you filled with the...

This Battle Is Not Yours It’s The Lord’s ! The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still!

(Ephesians 6:11) Be Still & Know God Is God (Psalm 46:10) Be Strong In The Lord And In His Mighty Power ! (Ephesians 6:10) If you're fed up with continual defeat in any area of your life or worn out by the constant inner struggle, then it's time to seek the Lord for victory!
