"Therefore the LORD will wait, that He may be gracious to you; and therefore will be exalted, that He may have mercy on you. For the LORD is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for Him." ~ Isaiah 30:18 REFERENCE: Isaiah 30:18-19 God is a God of perfect justice. The foundation of His justice is His righteousness. Praying for Sodom, Abraham said, "Far be it from You to do such a thing as this, to slay the righteous with the wicked…! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?" (Genesis 18:25) God never condemns...
"Now it happened, as he was telling the king how he had restored the dead to life, that there was the woman whose son he had restored to life, appealing to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, "My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son whom Elisha restored to life." ~ II Kings 8:5-6 REFERENCE: II Kings 8:1-6 Nothing changes a man's life quicker or more dramatically than finding himself at the right place at the right time and with the right people. This rarely happens, but it...
“The ways of right-living people glow with light; the longer they live, the brighter they shine.” ~ Proverbs 4:18 (MSG) REFERENCE: Proverbs 4:18 (MSG) Deuteronomy 33:25 says, “As your days are, so shall your strength be.” God wants your life to shine brighter as you grow older so that the glory of your latter is greater than that of the former. Being stagnated and stale in life doesn’t look like God’s plan for His children. God is committed to your progress; you must refuse to live a dull and lackluster life. A man who walks with God can be sure that life will...
“Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” ~ Luke 10:19 REFERENCE: Luke 10:17-19 Authority is the power or right to give orders, make decisions, and enforce obedience. It is the right to act in a specified way, delegated from one person to another; also, authority is an official permission. When Jesus said, “I give you the authority…” He meant that you have the authority, that is, the right or power to give orders and enforce the obedience of...
"For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am…" ~ I Corinthians 15:9-10 REFERENCE: I Corinthians 15:1-10 A season has broken upon us by a divine and prophetic declaration; it is a season of uncommon grace where God will cause the unusual and unexpected to happen. This season, you will witness unqualified-for liftings and undeserved blessings, opportunities, and privileges. God will by Himself open doors, raise men, give honors, and uncommon recommendations for...
"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...
“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...
"Then the Lord said to Moses, "Come up to Me on the mountain and be there; and I will give you tablets of stone, and the law and commandments which I have written, that you may teach them." ~ Exodus 24:12 REFERENCE: Exodus 24:9-18 My heart is overflowing with divine inspiration today; I keep hearing the Holy Spirit say, "There is a place in God," and He is calling you to rise to that place. It is a place where what matters is God, and His glory fills every void in your life. Only a few people discover this...
“Is anything too hard for the Lord? At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.” ~ Genesis 18:14 REFERENCE: Genesis 18:1-14 God is often limited in our lives by the limits our minds set for Him - 'There are no mountains anywhere; every man’s mountain is in his mind.' God is not done with you yet; He is still working, building, and preparing you for His best. You have not seen the final chapter of your life yet, but your mindset governs your actions and determines...
“Is anything too hard for the Lord? At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.” ~ Genesis 18:14 REFERENCE: Genesis 18:1-14 Although God dwells in eternity, He gives us time to govern events and measure our activities—a day before the Lord is like a thousand years to us, and vice versa. Scripture says, “Known to God from eternity are all His works” (Acts 15:18). Whatever God does in eternity will at some point correspond with a date on our calendar; it will manifest at an appointed...
