It does not matter how many of your enemies are before you or the multitude of things you have to face. God is greater than all and He can conquer all in Jesus name, Amen!
Deuteronomy 7:21
21 Do not be terrified by them, for the Lord your God, who is among you, is a great and awesome God.
Just a reminder that we should not be afraid of what we are currently facing be it a person or thing. But, why are we afraid of what’s before us? Don’t we trust God to help and deliver? Can He no longer perform miracles?
Deuteronomy 7:17-19
17 You may say to yourselves, “These nations are stronger than we are. How can we drive them out?”
18 But do not be afraid of them; remember well what theLord your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt.
19 You saw with your own eyes the great trials, the signs and wonders, the mighty hand and outstretched arm, with which the Lord your God brought you out. The Lord your God will do the same to all the peoples you now fear.
Numbers 11:23
23 The Lord answered Moses, “Is the Lord’s arm too short? Now you will see whether or not what I say will come true for you.”
This is for you farmers out there lol 😅 Well whatever you work with or work to produce is implied here. It’s because He loves us that He blesses us.
Deuteronomy 7:13-15
13 He will love you and bless you and increase your numbers. He will bless the fruit of your womb, the crops of your land—your grain, new wine and olive oil—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you.
14 You will be blessed more than any other people; none of your men or women will be childless, nor will any of your livestock be without young.
15 The Lord will keep you free from every disease. He will not inflict on you the horrible diseases you knew in Egypt, but he will inflict them on all who hate you.
Deep Deep Forgiveness (DDF)
Or Total Sincere Forgiveness (TSF). These two terms, whichever is preferable to you, imply the same thing which is a huge component of the quality of air Christians must live by and with. Your life and air as a Christian is severely compromised if forgiveness is not in the mixture of things you take in or live out.
I’ll use me for an example, please pray for me seriously and here’s why, I am having the hardest time with expressing DDF or TSF towards one I have always seen as my hero and first mentor that is, my Dad. Because I hold him responsible for the death of my Mother and the current continuing sufferings of my youngest brother who is sick because of my Dad’s direct actions or inactions. Yet, I MUST and sincerely forgive him because my life and blessings are tied to doing so.
How about YOU! Who closest to you has betrayed you? Or taken away the thing or person you love most? Who has disappointed you so badly that your actions to punish them is justified? Have we not done worse to God and yet He sent His Son to die for us?
The quality of the rest of your lives will literally hinge on your decisions love, forgive and to obey the following verses below – and there are more verse you can find:
Luke 11:4, Mark 11:25, Matthew 6:14-15, 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
Here is a reminder to help you get this week going. God loves you and He chose you. Imagine the most supreme being ever choosing you! What could you do to show your appreciation of His love to you?
Deuteronomy 7:6-9
6 For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. TheLord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession.
7 The Lord did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples.
8 But it was because the Lord loved you and kept the oath he swore to your ancestors that he brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the land of slavery, from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
9 Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments.
Consider Job and all He suffered. If we compared any of our trials to his, are we even close? Then think of our Lord, The Christ, Jesus, can you feel the burn or pain? To be honest, I don’t want to. So, I encourage you today. Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice.
Philippians 4:4-7
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
James 1:2-4
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,a whenever you face trials of many kinds,
3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
Do you always obey God? How easy is it to consistently obey God? If our obedience alone was the qualifier for our salvation and blessings, what would be our fate?
Praise God, our Lord Jesus sacrifice is our salvation and blessings and it is by grace and faith in our Lord Jesus that we are saved Hallelujaaaaaah!!!
Deuteronomy 6:25 and Ephesians 2:8-9
Deut. 6:25
25And if we are careful to obey all this law before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us, that will be our righteousness.”
Eph. 2:8-9
8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—
9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
God brought us out to bring us in.
Out of the depravity and darkness of our sinful past to His glorious light and presence. In Him and in His presence is everything we need.
Deuteronomy 6:23-24
23 But he brought us out from there to bring us in and give us the land he promised on oath to our ancestors.
24 The Lord commanded us to obey all these decrees and to fear the Lord our God, so that we might always prosper and be kept alive, as is the case today.
Praying today that you all experience the power of God, His joy, peace, love, comfort and presence as we celebrate the birthday of our Lord and Savior Jesus The Christ. Who was born as a man child to save mankind and through His death and resurrection on the 3rd day has redeemed us from hell if we believe and accept Him as Lord.
Hallelujaaaaaah to our God and Father who loves us and by His lovingkindness wrapped our salvation in the Christ baby swaddling clothes and our escape from damnation in the grave clothes of the man Jesus our Lord.
Happy birthday Dearest Lord Jesus, our Everlasting Father and brother by adoption into the family of God. We love you and thank you for your birth, life, death and resurrection Amen!
Good day and blessings to you in this glorious season of the year.
We have run and toiled all year, but it is God who has delivered, saved, helped, satisfied, provided, elavated our spirits, crowned our accomplishments, kept us safe and secure, and has not slept a wink. Wooow My GOD!!!!
So today, and the rest of this year is dedicated to saying Thank you to My GOD and FATHER, to My LORD and SAVIOUR JESUS THE CHRIST, and to THE HOLY SPIRIT. For all you’ve done and for all that will soon manifest in JESUS name AMEN!!!
