Do you sometimes feel that you fall into the category of unlikely one? You think that you sin is to big for Jesus to save you, you feel your culture is too far away from God or people have spoken negative things over your life based on their perceptions. Well that’s not true. Jesus came for the unlikely ones. The apostle Paul fell into that category. He called himself the worst of sinners. How does God feel about you. Keep reading to find out more.
Do you sometimes look around at the world the news media portrays and see chaos, confusion, violence and hatred everywhere. God doesn’t want us to fear but He wants us to know that He is still working and doing things that if He told us, we wouldn’t believe. Read more to encourage yourself.
Sometimes in life God positions us in situations where we need to make a choice. We may be standing waiting to be invited to a special group at Church or we may be wanting a promotion at work. David faces this same situation in the Bible. Him and his men wanted to join the Philistine army to fight against the Israelites. David knew he could control the battle if he went. But God had a different battle for him to fight. Although David got offended, he submitted to authority and a bigger battle was won. Find out more by reading the blog.
As we go through life, there are certain people we don’t like or get along with. Jesus tells us to love our neighbour, which is all people but how do we do this. God spoke to me a few weeks ago and said it is only this role that you don’t like. I know that we can love people but not like their actions or the role they are playing. This is how we agape love people.
I saw a painting whilst on holidays with a bridge in it. As the lady was telling me what the painting would remind me of, the words it is time to cross the bridge resounded within me. God is speaking to some of us telling us that the time has come for us to cross the bridge. Behind us is the wilderness - a place of provision and obedience but up ahead is the promise from God. It is time to move.
2019 is here. Some people make resolutions for the new year especially in relation to eating and exercising. But what if we make a resolution to be more like Jesus - to prosper spirit, soul and body. The Bible tells us how. Let this year be a new year for a new you.
Looking back on 2018, the year would be my brave year. Doing things I never thought I would. I have listed some brave things that I did. They may not be brave for you. One thing I learnt was that being brave did not mean doing the year alone. God was always with me through it all. All I needed to do was trust Him. Thankful now I had the experiences but maybe not then.
I love this time of year. The time to catch up with family, have special food and give and receive gifts. But have have you ever thought of the wonder of Christmas?
Are we still amazed that a God in heaven would send His only son to us in the form of a baby knowing that His very creation would one day sentence Him to die? This was beautiful and remarkable and showed the love of God to us in a magnificent way.
This is the wonder of Christmas.
Do you find that sometimes your prayers aren’t answered. Have you ever wondered why? Maybe the reason is that you are speaking your own words and not God’s Word. The Bible states that His Word will always prosper and do the job that it was sent to do.
When your bill needs to be paid and you can’t pay it, do you expect a miracle. God has better for you and it’s called provision. The ability to believe God’s Word and see it come to pass. It’s also called faith. This blog will show you the difference and how to go from miracle to provision.
Sometimes, in our lives when bad things happen, we stop in that place. We feel like we can’t get past it.
