DON’T BE IMPATIENT BUT BE GRATEFUL
Bless you dear brothers and sisters. We give thanks to God for another opportunity He gave to us to write to you the word of encouragement of today. May your soul be bless as you read and meditate on this word. In the book of Number 21:4-9. The Israelites grew impatient with the Lord in the wilderness, they complained and spoke blasphemous words to God and to Moses his servant, the Lord was very angry with them and sent a venomous snake to bite them and kill them. All these happen to them because of the impatient and ungrateful behavior and altitude.
Brethren in Christ, in life it is very important not to be impatient, to succeed in life, it is not good to be impatient but rather to be grateful and learn to be patient. But why is it important to be grateful? When you are grateful, it opens the heart of God to answer the prayer that you had put before him. Bible says we should be thankful in all situations, both in bad situation and in good situation.
We should do our best not to forget our past, how far the Lord had brought us, how many trials and difficulties he had helped us to overcome in life. When we forget our past easily, then we can easily forget to be grateful.
We must recognize who God is to us in our life, for it is by him that we are who we are today. if not the Lord that was on our side, the enemy would have destroyed our life and end it for us in pain and in sorrow. We should not grow impatient with the Lord and become abusive and blasphemy like the ungrateful Israelite in the wilderness. Or else, we also would soon be destroy like them.
May the wisdom and knowledge of the Holy God be in our heart. And may his word never depart from our mind. Peace and grace and Mercy be with you in Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour.
Yours in Christ Jesus our Lord.

OPPORTUNITY
Bless you Brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus around the world. I greet you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. May the grace of God abide with you forever. Our word of encouragement today is meant to transform our lives and grant us the anointing of revelation and discernment. What is opportunity? Opportunity is a favourable situation life, a favourable circumstance that God brought on our ways so that we may achieve our goal and dreams in life.
God has given all of us many opportunities in life, both physical needs opportunity and Spiritual needs opportunity. For examples: opportunity to know God and serve him well. Opportunity to receive salvation for our soul through the undiluted word of God, opportunity to have a better life in this life through opening doors and favour. And many more opportunities God made available to us.
And now, it depends on us what we do with it. If we make good use of the opportunity God has provided for us, our life will be very great and successful without pain and sorrow and neither distress, but perfect peace shall accompany us in every way. we will lack nothing.
But the problems are, many of us do not grab the opportunity God made available, we waited for so long, we complained and grumbled in about things and issues till the privilege is being taking away from us.
Made children of God does not have the insight to recognise a good opportunity. They reject God’s favour ignorantly and they keep on praying to the same for the things He has provided but rejected by our own hands. And many people give up out of frustration of thinking God does not accept their prayers which were not so.
I believe the solution to all these circumstances is constant meditation of the word of God and ask God for insight to recognise good things and good people. And ask for more patient and tolerance in life.
May the grace and mercy of the Lord be with all of us in life.
Yours sincerely in Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour.

THE DESIRE OF THE FLESH
God bless you dear brothers and sisters in the Lord. May the good Lord strengthen you and meet you at the point of your needs and desires. We give you thanks Lord for your love and for your mercy and for your grace upon us for the year 2021. We acknowledge you Lord for who you are to us.
In the book of 1 John 2:15-17. God said we should not love the world or anything in the world, if anyone love the world, the love for the father is not in them. For everything in the world, the lust of the flesh comes not from the father but from the world. For the world and its desire pass away, but whoever that does the will of God lives forever.
The word of God says that we should not live as the world lives. The world lives by what they see, they believe only on the things taught by men. The world is carried away with Satan desires and pleasures. But we as a children of God should not allow ourselves to be entice with the things of the world. We should not allow the things of this world to control our mind and senses. We are to master over them.
And the only way for us to be able to master over the desire of the flesh and his passion is when we are filled with the power of prayer and the truth of the word of God. We cannot overcome the flesh and his evil passion when we are lazy and weak in mind and lukewarm in spirit, but we become overcomer over the sinful pleasure when we devoted ourselves to fervent aggressive prayer against Satan and his evil schemes and weapons against our life and Spirit. Then believe me brethren, nothing in heaven or in earth shall or would be able to stand against us. For we are more than conqueror through the power in Christ Jesus at work within us.
For God did not call us to be weak and lazy and lukewarm, but to be filled with strength and power to uproot and tear down every power of the dark world. And pull down every imaginations and strongholds of the evil ones.
Apart from this truth, we cannot escape the net and trap of the evil ones against our spiritual and physical life. Brethren, buckle up the belt of prayer and cover yourself with the breastplate of God's word. For what we are fighting are not flesh and blood, they are wicked spirit in the heavily realm.
Wake up brethren, strengthen the feeble knee and be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
May the peace of God be with you always.
Yours in Christ Jesus our Lord.

KNOWING AND BELIEVING
Bless you brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus, may your soul be bless by the Lord. In the book of John 3:16-21 Jesus said “for God so Loved the world that He gave his only son do die for us and whosoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
The reason why God gave Jesus to die for us is that, He may deliver us from Satan schemes and plans and his evil power. Satan has in his mind to demolish our believe system. Remember Satan is a good and perfect schemer. He desired greatly to control us and instruct us what to do. His evil plan is to demolish what we know about God, what we had come to believe in Christ and every good thing we had learn from God. This is Satan great mission in our lives.
But God who is reach in Love and mercy sent Jesus to rescue us from Satan’s power. God did not sent Jesus to condemn us or destroy us, but to enlighten and teach us more about the Living and great God. But by rejecting Jesus’ work in our lives, then we are condemn by our own actions, because God says whoever does not accept Jesus’ ways stands condemn already even though they are still alive. But the person who accept Christ in their heart and believed in him were save.
Brethren, everything about God is Believe. Just Believe!!! When you don’t believe, or you have problem in believing in God, then you are only wasting your time in your service for God, or in your praying to Him. Because the word of God says, whoever comes to God must first believe that He is real, and He diligently rewarded those who serve him well.
Today I encourage you to start believing in God and in his mighty power. For created all things both the things you see and the things you did not see. The wind, the storm, the rain, the snow, the water, the mountains, the hills, the ground, the air, the havoc, the angel of death, the destroyers, the ability to smell, to think, to talk, to move, to whisper, to blink eyes and so many more things that we cannot finish counting, all things are made by God.
Therefore, learn to believe in Christ and talk to him everyday. For He is waiting to hear from you. Today if you read this message, do not harden your heart. For God loves you.
Peace be with you always.
Yours in Christ Jesus our Lord.
