Don’t you …………… write God off.

Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us. Ephesians 3:20

To God all Praise and Glory forever and ever. Amen.

Troubles they will come against us. We will face trials. If you are going through a hard time today, know this, your story isn't over.

Understand today, that God is in control of every situation. You may be headed somewhere in your life, and it looks like people or circumstances are pushing you back.

We need to have faith. Believe in the Almighty. Have immense patience. Trust God at all times. Be prepared for the hard times, and have a heart to bear all the pain. The journey is required. It will teach you to believe in Him like a child. Have you ever watched, kids? How simple and trusting they are? Classic eg: would be of the child who jumps, trusting his father will hold him. God the Father, expects that trust. At best, be a child at heart.

There is this lady, I know, who is an acquaintance as such. She looks after her mother (who is on sick bed) and her sister (who is physically challenged). She is the only working member. Its been nearly 12 years, since she has been taking care of them. She has kept the thoughts of marriage aside, because she worries for her loved ones. I am not being judgemental. All I know, is that God does not want you to go through life, feeling miserable and lonely. If God puts a dream in your heart, If He shows the road to you, then follow the path. What I'm saying is, we need to trust God. Who is to say, that the one she marries wont love her family, and love them as much as she does? I know God, He takes care of everything.

Know this, God listens to our words, our actions and our hearbeats. You are everything that matters to Him. The very moment that you have prayed, God has answered your prayer. From God to you, time is measured differently. God is a God of patience. He brought forth creation in six days, and rested on the seventh day.

Maybe you've been hoping, praying, and believing for your situation to turn around. Don’t you quit on believing in God? Don’t you talk yourself, out of a blessing? Don’t write God off. Don’t limit God. Don’t settle for anything less than God’s best.  

There is nothing, that He won’t do for you? Be always encouraged. God is able to do exceedingly abundantly more than we ask or expect. One touch of God’s favour can take you to a whole new level.

It's not over until God says it's over. God is faithful, and when you put your hope in Him, you will never be disappointed.

Have FAITH! With God all things are POSSIBLE!

I'M Alive

This is one, song that has the capacity to get me charged up at any given time. Good music, good lyrics. But, what stands out for me is the title, I’M Alive. Can, I go ahead and say, I love this song, this much that it’s been my ring-tone, for nearly 6 years now. And would you believe that each and every time it rings, it just feels like magic?

I’M ALIVE.

I live in a wonderful world, filled with God’s wonderful, magnificent people. In this journey, I’ve had some good times and some not so good times. But, the most I cherish in this walk of life, is My God. HE has been my rock and my refuge, my GOD, in whom I trust.

Life is wonderful, and even more so, when we live and we learn to trust God. Trust in His love, trust in His goodness, trust in His faithfulness. And that will only happen when you know the power of the WORD. Reflect, on the passages below. And know, that you were God’s every intention. You are the apple of His eyes.  

1. God has made us in His image, his likeness.

So God created humans in his image. In the image of God he created them. He created them male and female. Genesis 1:27

2. God wants to show you His plan. He wants to pour out His blessing on you and see you living a life of victory.

The mind of man plans his way, but the LORD directs his steps. Proverbs 16:9

3. Stand strong, when in trouble and believe that God’s blessings will overtake you.

Surely goodness and loving-kindness will follow me all the days of my life. Psalm 23:6  

4. Declare His promises over your life. Have confidence knowing that God is working behind the scenes on your behalf. He promises to deliver you.
Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Psalm 119:105

Call on Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall honor and glorify Me. Psalm 50:15

5. Let His praise continually be in your mouth.

I will praise the Lord at all times. I will constantly speak His praises. Psalm 34:1        

6. When God spoke to Noah about building the ark, it had never even rained before. Noah recognized that God had asked him to do a difficult thing. Noah’s obedience is what opened the door for God to supernaturally empower him to full-fill his destiny.

Give heed to Him, listen to and obey His voice. Exodus 23:21

7. Remember, you are not alone in the fight; God is with you. He´s promised to never leave you nor forsake you.

If God be for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31

8. God puts big dreams in our hearts, but in our eyes they look impossible and too big to accomplish. Trust in Him to make all things possible for you.

Jesus looked at them and said, 'With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible. Matthew 19:26

9. Submit your prayers to the Lord, and keep an attitude of faith and expectancy.

For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. Matthew 7:8

10. Raise your level of expectancy. God, wants to overwhelm you with His goodness and with things so wonderful you can’t even fathom it.

Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him. 1 Corinthians 2:9

11. If you´ll make up your mind and be determined to walk through, knowing that God is with you, you will see things turn around in your favor.

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me. Psalm 23:4

12. God is able to do more than you could ever ask or imagine.

Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us. Ephesians 3:20

REMEMBER: You are Gods Magnificent creation. You are His most prized possession.

Would you now,  with the utmost, confidence say it aloud I'M ALIVE ..... and would you always, remember that you are loved extremely by the Greatest, most powerful force in the whole world, 'The Almighty God.'

Building Bridges………

The Word of God clearly defines love in 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8.

Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not boast, is not proud; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; but rejoices in the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.

God’s love isn’t about feelings. It’s a choice.

We can all throw stones and point out each other's faults, but we need to make allowances for one another. We don't know what some people have been through. We don't know the pain and the heartaches they've experienced. Let’s not be the one to criticize. Let’s build people.

Always, look for the best in others. Don’t focus on the wrongs done. We need to be peace makers. Be the first to apologize. Be quick to forgive. Choose love above everything.

God will never leave you nor forsake you. There’s nothing you can do to earn His love and nothing you can do to stop His love. HE is absolutely, absolutely lovable. Therefore, let's learn to walk in love and see the best in everyone.

Time after time, people neglect to treat each other with love. Love is not a matter of convenience. Love is not here today, gone tomorrow kind of thing.

Love is from everlasting to everlasting. When we choose to walk in love, we honour God.

Choose to Believe the Best in Others. Choose Love. And you will never be wrong. Love will always, always win.

You are Extraordinary.....

Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.

And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Joshua 10:12-13

Joshua was the leader of God's people (the Israelites). The Gibeonites asked Joshua to help them in battle with the amorites. Joshua knew this was the right thing to do because God had promised Joshua victory. More of the Israelites' enemies died in the hailstorm than in the actual battle.

The Bible says, that Joshua had asked from God, that the sun stand still for the entire day, so that they could win the battle in that day itself. At the words of Joshua, the sun did stand still in the skies for the entire day. There has never been a day like that ever in the entire human history.

What makes Joshua, so different you ask? Actually he was just a warrior, but what makes him really different and extraordinary is his immense faith in God. He dared to stand up and ask God for the impossible. Irrespective of what thoughts could have run in his head, at lightning speed, you or I would never be able to guess? But this much is sure, he dared to ask for what no man would ever think of asking. And what makes it even more endearing is that God listened to the voice of a man, and answered.

Real faith is of the heart. There may have been times we didn’t take a step of faith because we doubted God’s plans. But He wants us to be bold and daring when He’s called us to take action. It’s the feeling that ….I know, that I know, that I know… kind of thing. Dare to step out and trust God. Don't just think it in your head; show it with your actions. Step out of your comfort zone. Always remember, God is faithful. No matter what you've been facing, turn those situations over to God. God is able to do exceedingly abundantly more than we can ask or think. Dare to believe because when you believe, all things are possible!  

Setback is a setup for a comeback.

For though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again. Proverbs 24:16   

Faith activates the power of God. Setbacks are obstacles on the paths of our lives. We all face disappointments. No matter how many times you fall, you got to get up each time that you fall. God sees your determination. And when you do everything you can do, staying in God’s will, that’s when God will step in and do the impossible.

Remember:  A setback is a setup for a greater comeback.

Understand that through struggles, you will know your true strengths. Walk in faith. Be completely obedient to His Voice.

God is the Creator of the universe, has been will always be in charge. What makes you or I think we could change things by worrying?  God will never forsake us.

I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Matthew 28:20

What I have learned is that, sometimes we don’t see the situation that God has before us. If we see what God wants us to see, then we would know that the setback is really what will jumpstart our futures. God always works to bring our deepest desires, or dreams to come to pass. The very thing you are fighting against so hard will be what will catapult you to another level.

God’s ways and timings, have and will always be perfect. Do not be afraid, if you are facing tough times. Praise, God with all your heart. Because, your day of breakthrough is coming. We serve a God, of breakthroughs.

Don’t just sit around waiting for God to change your circumstances, you have to live with an attitude of expectancy. This is what I do, and I hope you could try it too. Try,

Walking with a spring in your step,

Joy in your heart,

A smile on your face and

An unshakable faith in God.

This is my way of saying, ‘God, I trust you. I am happy, because I know no Good thing will you withhold from me. I believe in the Word' (The Holy Bible).  

When you do your part, God will begin to change things and work supernaturally in your life.

PRAYER: God, I Believe in you always. Every heartbeat of mine belongs to you. Teach me to surrender, my will to Yours with love.
