TWILIGHT TRIP

“And they rose at twilight to go to the camp of the Syrians; and when they had come to the outskirts of the Syrian camp, to their surprise no one was there.” – II Kings 7:5   REFERENCE II Kings 7:1-8   Twilight is the period of the evening between daylight and darkness; it represents a time of gradual decline or when old age begins to set in. The lepers we spoke about yesterday decided to move in the evening – when the hope of good fortunes was dim, and a change in their situation looked unattainable, yet they moved. They...

DON’T JUST SIT, MOVE!

“Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate; and they said to one another, “Why are we sitting here until we die?””- II Kings 7:3   REFERENCE: II Kings 7:1-8   You can’t move when you sit and think you can’t move. That is life for you. Many people are so paralyzed by the analysis of the likely unfavorable outcomes if they move that they have just decided to sit and hope that things improve. Yet, inactivity is responsible for most failures in life. If you want to live a life of progress and success, don’t...

REST IN ME

"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." ~ Matthew 11:28    REFERENCE: Matthew 11:25-30   I have been hearing, 'Rest in Me,' in my spirit, and recently, in our church service, a word of prophecy came after a worship session; the substance of the message is God saying, "Rest in Me, My people." What encouraging and reassuring words, as many people find age-long support systems fail them! Today's temptation is to double one's hustle, but God says rest. The toughness of the times can drag people to the precipice of...

HE EMPOWERS TO PROSPER

"And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth." ~ Deuteronomy 8:18   REFERENCE: Deuteronomy 8:11-18   Having led Israel from slavery through the desert to a land flowing with milk and honey, Moses could confidently conclude that God is the one who empowers us to prosper. To rise above the present global economic difficulty, you must make God your source; look beyond your salary, network of friends, business, or organization. God holds the key to your fortune; He only uses the channels I mentioned as vehicles to supply your needs; He can bypass...

TRUSTING EYES

"I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth." ~ Psalm 121:1-2   REFERENCE: Psalm 121:1-8   Albert Mehrabian found that communication is 55% body language, 38% vocal, and 7% words only. Hence, our non-verbal communication makes up over 90%, meaning our body language matters when we speak. Your actions genuinely reflect your intent and can be seen more precisely than your words when heard. Hence, trusting eyes talk of faith in God. A picture speaks louder than a thousand words because people interpret the...

SYSTEM RESTORE 2

“You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, who has dealt wondrously with you; and My people shall never be put to shame.” ~ Joel 2:26   REFERENCE: Joel 2:18-27   We learned of God’s promise to give us a system restore yesterday. God desires to undo whatever the enemy has done in your life and restore you to a point in your life before the enemy tampered with you or the events of your life. God can restore time, as our text shows; when He raised Lazarus to life, it was...

SYSTEM RESTORE

"So, I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the crawling locust, the consuming locust, and the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you." ~ Joel 2:25   REFERENCE: Joel 2:18-27   If you use a Windows computer, you should know the term 'system restore.' It is a feature that allows users to revert their computer's system files, settings, and programs to a previous point in time, called a "restore point." I hear God saying, "Reset;" He wants to give you a system restore, taking you back to a (restore) point where life was a...

YOU CAN: GO AHEAD!

“Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying: “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you; before you were born, I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” Then said I: “Ah, Lord God! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth.” – Jeremiah 1:4-6   REFERENCE: Jeremiah 1:4-10   “You can: go ahead!” In essence, this was God’s response to Jeremiah’s excuse: “I cannot speak, for I am a youth.” God told him, “You shall go to all to whom I send you, and whatever I command you, you shall speak.” Jeremiah must understand...

PURSUE PURPOSE LIKE BUSINESS

"And He said to them, "Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father's business?" ~ Luke 2:49   REFERENCE: Luke 2:41-49   Victor Frankl said, "Life is never made unbearable by circumstances but only by lack of meaning and purpose." Living finds its meaning when you are living for something with meaning. You are here for a purpose; fulfilling it gives meaning to your life. To fulfill a purpose, you must pursue it like a business, with the same earnestness with which a businessman does his business. Jesus Christ could have told His parents 'that I must be...

THERE IS A PLACE IN GOD 2

“Then Moses went up into the mountain, and a cloud covered the mountain.” ~ Exodus 24:15   REFERENCE: Exodus 24:9-18   We began to talk about a place in God yesterday where God takes full responsibility for you, and only a few pay the price to discover and enjoy. Moses was one of the very few who had found that place, having heeded the call of God to come up to the mountain. John the revelator also found the place; in Revelation 4:1, a voice in heaven told him, “Come up here!” Only a few find this place in God because...
