Run In Such A Way As To Get The Prize ! (1Corinthians 9:24 NIV) If your race has led to pain, pressure and problems, it’s probably not what you’ve hoped for, but in order to win, you must continue to be persistent. Satan loves to discourage us by focusing our attention on the things God has not done, because Satan knows if he can cause us to doubt God, our faith will be weakened and we may yield to defeat. I encourage you to continue to keep your faith and expectations high, continue to trust God, no matter what and continue to endure until the end! You will get the victory! God’s Word To You : “I am your God. I keep on strengthening you; I'm truly helping you. I'm surely upholding you with My victorious right hand!" (Isaiah 41:10) Pray this prayer with me : Father, I trust that You are faithful to every promise and You will bring me into a closer relationship with Your Son Jesus and for that reason my faith is in You, in every promise and every day. I humbly pray, i...

God Will Fulfill His Purpose For You ! (Psalms 57:2 NLT)  I hear many say, “I’m waiting on God.” When we talk about waiting on God, we must understand there are times God also waits on us until we’re ready to receive, until we appreciate what we’re asking for, until our maturity level is appropriate and our understanding elevated. There are times God waits until we think He’s forgotten us, just to test and grow our faith. God can solve a problem in a minute, but patience has to finish its work in you, so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything! (James 1:4) The word teaches us in Isaiah 30:18, “blessed are all who wait for Him!” The keyword in that scripture is: Wait! You cannot get to the blessings without the wait. If you’ve been praying for God to send you the right partner, for a better job or a change in your current situation etc..., whether He changes the situation or changes you, God will fulfill His purpose He has for you! Trust God sees the big picture ...

Everyone Who Is Born From God Has Won The Victory Over The World ! (1 John 5:4a) Our Faith Is What Wins The Victory Over The World ! (1 John 5:4b) As the Lord spoke to the children of Israel in Deuteronomy the 1st chapter, when He told them, “Go and occupy the land that I have given you,” He speaks to us today! You may say, “What do you mean?” I’m simply saying, “If you’re a child of God, you don’t belong to the devil and furthermore, this earth doesn't belong to the devil!” God is waiting on us to carry out the victory He won at Calvary and occupy this land! As children of God, we have nothing to fear when the enemy strikes us, because as God put everything under His feet, He has put everything under our feet! (Hebrews 2:8) God has the power to change our circumstances no matter what they might be. Any plan Satan has for us will not prevail, because we belong to God! God is always ready to turn evil into good and a test into a testimony. There is nothing in this world that God...

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...
