God's best!

God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son. The Son is the most precious Person in God's eyes. His name is Jesus.

God knew that Jesus would die for the sins of all the people in the world, past, present and future. At the cross, all punishment had been borne by Jesus. He had finished the work for the world to be reconciled with God. For those who had accepted this redemption gift, they are called Christians. Christ died for sinners. He didn't die for people who are perfect in their conduct or for people who are morally upright, though these qualities are important.

Yet while we were sinners, Christ died for us. He took our place of sinfulness to give us the throne of righteousness. Christians are righteous because of the finished work at the cross. A divine exchange had taken place. God had given His best to the world and the world through this perfect gift has been reconciled with God.

Since God had given His best to the world, what more will He not, with Jesus, give to His sons and daughters! We just have to believe God is good and have a good opinion of God.

God will always want to come into our situations and turn them for our favour. His timing is always the best. There are times when He seems to be late in helping us but God is never late. If a child of God is dealing with dreaded disease, be assured that He is doing mightily behind the scene to turn thing around for that child. If a child of God is facing a financial crunch, be restful for God is working to turn the financial situation around for the good of the child. Just rest in His love for us. God is always on time. He will always give the best to His children. Hallelujah!

In the midst of a storm

Shalom.

When the disciples were trembling and possibly horrified by a storm while crossing the sea of Galilee, Jesus was sleeping peacefully at the back of the boat. The wind was howling and the waves were hitting the boat that they were on till a point they feared for their lives and woke Jesus up by shouting, "Master, don't you care that we are perishing?".

Jesus did something that was absoluteyl cool and awesome subsequently. He woke up. (just kidding) Jesus woke up and with a outstretched arm He calmed the storm by proclaiming, "Peace, be still.". And immediately, there storm ceased! There was perfect calm and the disciples didn't have to perish.

Some of us could be facing a storm that seems to have the power to totally destroy our lives. Beloved of the Lord, take heart for Jesus is with us. He'll never leave us nor forsake us. Look to Him for the answer to the storm and cease from all fears for He is willing and able to calm the storm in our lives. A stoke of His favour can transform our lives completely.

Regardless of the magnitude or severity of the storm we may be facing, behold Jesus and His finished work at the cross. For there lies our answer to our storm.

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.

Commit your work to the Lord

Whatever we are doing, commit our works to the Lord and He will prosper our way.

In our personal dealings, commit our works to the Lord. We will experience supernatural favour with people whom we knew just recently. As we spend time with the Lord, we will find ourselves having more time to accomplish personal stuffs that we set out to do. Many a times, we find ourselves achieving our personal goals at a much shorter time. The Lord is a debtor to no one! He will return, with many times over, whatever time is given to him. Time spent with the Lord is never wasted.

In our professional dealings, commit our works to the Lord. We will experience supernatural favour with our colleagues and with business contacts. We will see the working relationship take on a different level. A level where all efforts are synergised to achieve greater result. For business owners, they will have business deals that will make their businesses great. For the Lord is good. He will prosper our way when we commit our professional endeavours in His hand.

Trust in the Lord and He will make sure we are prospered financially, in the family, in the work place and be in good health.
