You’re Amazing

Apr6

With a new year upon us, let this year be different. Don’t make your “to do” lists only to begin feeling overwhelmed and frustrated because you ate a donut. See yourself differently this year and place God first in your life. Let Him help you make whatever changes He feels is in your best interests.

specialYou are very special to God. He sees you as worthy through the blood of the lamb. You are a winner. You are amazing and beautiful. You are unique and special. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. (Psalm 139:14) You are the apple of His eye. (Psalm 17:8) You are His treasured possession. (Deut. 7:6)

It’s time to stop comparing yourself to others or looking in the mirror wishing this or that was different. It’s time for you to see yourself through God’s eyes. You are His walking masterpiece, a rare find that is filled with His amazing light and love. There is nothing you can’t do as you keep your eyes upon the Lord. He doesn’t want you feeling defeated, He wants you soaring like an eagle with your talents He gave you.

Don’t let another year go by without seeing His love for you. Let go of your past pain, hurt, anger, frustration, rejection and suffering. Let go of all the things you’d like to change about yourself. You are wonderfully made and there’s noone like you. You have special gifts that God has placed inside of you. He wants to burst forth those gifts and see you excel like never before.

God can and will restore all of those things that have been lost and change whatever needs to change. (Joel 2:25) Let this year be your amazing turnaround. Let this year be filled with lots of light and love. Give Him your cares and worries. Don’t let one more day hold you down with defeat or self-worthlessness. You are an amazing person. So be bold, confident, brave, and free!

Reflect on His love for you and everything else will turn out alright. You’re loved beyond your wildest imagination and there’s nothing too difficult for your Heavenly Father. He is right there with you in the midst of any battle or storm. Reach out and see how beautiful you truly are! It’s time to shine and let your amazing gifts burst forth! May this year be your year of transformation and restoration.  You will accomplish more in a day than you thought possible.

Receive it! Believe it! And walk in it!

Be Bold

Apr5

be-braveDid you know as soon as you start standing on God’s Word and believing God for big things to happen in your life, the first thing the enemy will do is bring opposition in your life. The enemy wants to do everything he can to make you go into another direction. He doesn’t want to see God working in your life, he wants you to stay broke, busted and disgusted. The enemy will do everything he can to make you give up.

I can tell you from experience that the enemy will come against you extremely hard when you are paying your tithes, your offerings or doing something good towards others. The enemy will attempt to make you sicker or he’ll make sure you get a terrible diagnosis from the doctor when you are standing on God’s Word for healing your body. He’ll attack your finances when you are paying your tithes and First Fruit offerings; making you doubt if you should continue. All of a sudden you’ll find yourself having extra expenses because your car, your air conditioner, your roof or something else will breakdown. Maybe you’ve prayed that God opens doors that no man can close only to find yourself suddenly unemployed with no direction. There are many, many ways that the devil may attempt to get you to go in another direction and the negative voices that sabotage you the most will be within yourself or those closest to you.

But I’m here today to tell you “THE DEVIL IS A LIAR!”

Mark 5:35-36, 39: 35 While He was still speaking, some people came from the synagogue official’s house, saying [to Jairus], “Your daughter has died; why bother the Teacher any longer?” 36 Overhearing what was being said, Jesus said to the synagogue official, “Do not be afraid; only keep on believing [in Me and my power].” 39And when he had entered, he said to them, “Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but sleeping.”

In Mark 5:35, Jairus had gone to Jesus asking Him to heal His daughter. Jesus was on His way to help but those closest to Jairus came with bad news. Jairus’ daughter died before Jesus got there, so they were telling him not to bother Jesus anymore. They were telling him that it was no longer needed, that it was too late and that it was impossible now. However, Jesus saw the situation completely different. Mark 5:36 shows us that Jesus told Jairus “Do not be afraid and keep believing.”

What was Jesus saying? When everyone else is telling you that your situation, your finances, your health is impossible to turnaround, you have an Almighty God that says IGNORE WHAT THEY SAY BECAUSE NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE TO THOSE WHO WILL KEEP BELIEVING!

Yes your pain and suffering is real. Your circumstances are real. BUT…don’t look at your circumstances. Don’t look at your checkbook. Don’t look at your unemployment. Don’t look at your diagnosis. Don’t listen to those negative voices and doubt surrounding you. Don’t look at anything but OUR HEAVENLY FATHER who wants to help you. He is anticipating and knows what you need. You don’t need to concern yourself with the “how”…God is filled with resurrecting power no matter what is happening in your life.

God says to believe in Him and Him alone! He can do the impossible! God is more than enough in every situation. He can and will do more than you can ever imagine. Don’t get stuck when the enemy attacks you. Don’t listen to the negative voices surrounding you. Don’t doubt when you are so close to seeing your promised land. Believe in your Heavenly Father who is capable to do exceedingly and more abundantly than you can ever dream! Be Bold in the midst of your adversity and fight the good fight of faith. For just like the Bible says in Mark 5:39, your situation is not dead but is sleeping. He will raise you up far greater than before. Keep believing and you too will see your circumstances come alive, birthed to newer heights. God will make a way when there isn’t any. He will make you the head and not the tail, above and not below! He will cause your frown to turn upside down with His power, His love, His provision and His healing power!

Decision Making

Apr4

Decision-MakingHave you ever been in a decision making situation and had absolutely no idea which way to go? I have been in these types of situations so many times in my life, I stopped counting long time ago. The key to making good decisions is to stop and wait. What I mean by that, is sometimes we are simply too close to the situation and our minds go in so many different directions that it becomes impossible to make a good decision.

It’s kind of like running our mouths without stopping to think about what we’re trying to say, in the kindest way of saying it. Sometimes people can be rude or cruel, just by the way they are saying things. They could be completely telling the truth but if they don’t stop to think about what they are going to say or how they are going to say it, it can come across so brutally that people become angry towards your bluntness rather than listening to the truth you are actually saying.

Proverbs 15:1 “A gentle answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger.”

It’s the same thing with decision making. When you have a difficult situation that you really need an answer to, you start thinking about all the “what ifs” of life. If I go this way, this could be the result or if I go that a way, the result could be different. And it’s easy to get caught up in all the “what ifs” to only never make a decision. Or worse, making the wrong decision.

Don’t let your words or your decisions be made with folly or too much thought. Yes, we need to think things through and make good decisions. But the key is to stop and and surrender the situation to God. Whether it’s finding a soul mate, a financial situation, medical decision, making purchases or any other type of decision…the Bible will always have the answer.  If you don’t have a Bible with you at the time, you can simply slow down, get quiet and talk to God. Let Him take charge of the situation and fill you with His peace that surpasses all understanding. When you do this, your decisions will have better results and amazing long-term implications.

God knows the end from the beginning. He knows what path your life is to take and the results He wishes to see in your life. Every decision needs to include Him for the optimum results.

Decision-Making2

Philippians 4:6-7 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

So today…surrender it all. Begin every moment, every thought, every word, and every decision asking God for His wisdom. He will give you the peace and wisdom to a more rewarding life and better decision making. He wants the absolutely best for you in all areas of life. Let Him guide you, for there is nothing too hard or too small for our Heavenly Father. And when God is involved with the decision making process, you can boldly and confidently walk in peace straight ahead, looking forward and never looking back!

All Mighty God – El Shaddai

Apr3

almighty God-elshaddai

I am a firm believer that there are no coincidences and it’s God alone that guides our way. God’s name –  El Shaddai has great meaning and impact in our lives.

Almighty-God-Restored-Me

The first occurrence of El Shaddai is in Gen. 17:1 when God is giving Abraham the sign of His covenant with him. “When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, ‘I am the Sovereign God.’”

In Jacob’s farewell address in Gen. 49:25 Jacob makes a connection between the title of El Shaddai and the promises of blessings of the breast and womb, which is a word play between Shaddai and shad (breast). “…because of the Sovereign God, who will bless you with blessings from the sky above, blessings from the deep that lies below, and blessings of the breasts and womb.

El Shaddai is such a powerful title of our Loving Father. The meaning of El Shaddai speaks of power and strength. It also refers to God completely nourishing, satisfying and supplying His people with all their needs as a mother would her child. God freely gives us all good things because He is our sustainer.

God wants us all complete, whole and restored…fully with nothing missing and nothing broken!!! So when you are faced with the un-faceable things of this world…SURRENDER IT TO HIM and REMEMBER…GOD IS ALL POWERFUL, ALL LOVING, and IS THE CREATOR OF THIS UNIVERSE. Nothing is too hard for Him! He freely gives to those who love Him, to those who trust Him and to those who are willing to surrender to Him!

This week I ask all of you to Surrender to Him ~ Walk in faith ~ Talk with God ~ And Walk Boldly Everyday! He will see you through your darkest hours and you will be prosperous in every area of your life! His name guarantees it and what He does for one, He will do for all!
