God counts the number of your hair on your head

Nothing is too small or too big for God. Anything that troubles a believer, Abba Father knows about it and has a solution for it long before that thing/event troubles a believer. The bible says that God even counts the number of hairs on believer's head.

God is always looking out for His children and His people. He showed His love for the world by sending His only begotten Son, Jesus, to be crucified at the cross. Through that ONE sacrifice, all our sins are forgiven and whoever accepts the gift of salvation is made righteous. Whoever accepts the Son can go to the Father directly in his/her prayer. He/she can talk to Abba Father directly.

There were many instances in the bible where God's love was manifested in the natural. After God created Adam and Eve, He didn't just leave them and let them be. He came, daily, in the evening to commune with them. God came to talk to them like a caring Father would do.

When Joshua took over the reign from Moses, he was apprehensive about undertaking the leadership position to lead the children into the promised land. Before they came to the wall of Jericho, God appeared as an Angel with a sword in His right hand to assure Joshua that God was with him and His people.

When Jesus was walking on earth, He set a man who was demons possessed free where no man dare come near the man. Jesus touched the leper who was probably devoid of human touch when He healed him. He even raised Jairus' daughter who was dead and commanded that food be given to the girl. Jesus went about healing and doing good.

Whatever we are facing today, knows that God is with us and He is doing mighty things behind the scene for our own good. Just trust in His love for us for He loves us more than we can love ourselves. Hallelujah.

God is awesome to be praised

In everything, give thanks to the Lord. Praise Him & worship Him for He is good

In the beginning, God created Adam & Eve & blessed them to have dominion over the earth. However, Adam committed high trisome & forfeited the glory of God through the trickery of satan. This didn't catch God by surprise for He already had a masteplan of redemption by the sacrificial work of Jesus at the cross. God is always ahead of what satan is trying to do.

When God asked Abraham to sacrifice his only begotten son Isaac, God had already provided the lamb for the sacrifice on the opposite of the mountain. God was taking the opportunity to tell the world He was going to sacrifice His only begotten Son, Jesus.

On the mountain, Isaac was spared. But at Golgotha, Jesus took all our punishment & died for our sins. Jesus was crucified on the cross to divinely exchange His position of righteousness for our position of sin. With that one act at the cross, Jesus had overpaid God for all our sins.

As beloved children of the most high God, be conscious of His providence in our lives. Whatever we need, it had been provided at the cross. If we dealing with some forms of disease or illness, just know that by Jesus' stripe, we are already the healed. If we are facing financial lack, be aware that Jesus was made poor at the cross that we, through His poverty, had already been made rich. Praised the Lord for He is good & His mercy endures forever. Hallelujah.

I Am that I Am

I Am that I Am. That's God answer to our every question. He is the very present help in times of need!

When the children of Israel was suffering at the hands of the Egyptians, God appeared as a burning fire in a burning bush. He identified Himself with His people for His people were suffering as slaves. He heard His children every groan.

When the children of Israel was wandering and wondering in the wilderness and dwelling in tents, God was dwelling in the tabernacle. In the heat of the day, He appeared as a pillar of cloud to keep His children cool. In the cold of the night, He appeared as a pillar of fire to keep His children warm.

When Joshua took over the helm of leading God's people into the promised land and was facing Jericho, God appeared as a warring Angel. He told Joshua to circle around Jericho and shout His praise on the seven day and the wall of Jericho came tumbling down.

My God is the I Am God. When we are suffering from illness or diseases, He is our healing. When we are suffering from lack, He is our provision. When we are suffering from relationship breakdown, He is the glue that keep us together.

He is always ready to jump into our situation and turn the situation into our favour. He is always ready to take care of our cares once we cast them into His hand. Be bold to go to the mercy seat in times of need for God is always there for us. Just trust in Him. Hallelujah.
