Don’t Give Up

Are you believing God for something? Is it taking longer than you thought or expected? So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up, Galatians 6:9

My brethren, no matter how long you may have been standing, don’t give up! Your season is coming. Your harvest of blessing is on its way. It might be today, it might be tomorrow, it might be next week, next month or next year, but remember, at the right time you will experience your breakthrough.

Be encouraged today because God is faithful and His promises are true. Keep standing, keep hoping, and keep believing. Keep doing good. Keep declaring the promises of God over your life. Choose to be around people who are going to encourage you and fill your heart and mind with God’s Word. Let a song of praise come out of your mouth. As you continue to press on in faith and keep an attitude of victory, you will see your harvest of blessing and live as an overcomer in every area of your life.

In Jesus name, Amen

Your Actions Will Win Them

1 Peter 3:1b NLT “…your godly lives will speak to them without any words. They will be won over”
If you read the same verse in NKJV it says, "They, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives”

Manytimes, we try to win people over by telling them all about what we know or explain how they should act. We may have good intentions and really want to help people, but in reality, it is our life of excellence and integrity that speaks to the hearts of others.

In this particular scripture, Peter is talking to women who received salvation after they were married and had husbands who were not yet believers, but the message still applies to every believer. The first thing people should notice about us (believers) is our love, patience, kindness, gentleness, strength, and joy. When they see the difference Christ has made in our lives, they will want what we have. The scripture says it’s God’s kindness that leads people to repentance, not nagging.
So, let our light shine, be good-natured, and be kind. We are the salt of the earth. Make people thirsty for what we have. Behind the scenes, we should pray for their salvation and be ready to share the message of the gospel when the time is right. Remember, actions speak louder than words. Be an example of God’s love so we can effectively win others to Him!

As believers we should ask God to help us to display our characteristics of love and goodness so that others will turn to us.
We have to thank God for choosing to use us and we should surrender every area of our life to Him.

God bless you.

When You are Waiting for Your Breakthrough

One of life’s lessons I have learn so far is to wait on God when you need a breakthrough! However, when we are not patient or frustrated and worried, it is because we are trying to make something happen that only God himself can make happen. Pastors call this, “human energy attempting to do God’s job.”
How many times have you prayed and believe in the word of God for a breakthrough in your life to not see anything happen? We have many times.
So what are we to do? How are we to act during this time of waiting?
In the book of Mark 4: 26-28 tells the story of the patient farmer.
How do we know he is patient? Very easy! let me explain it to you.
Because the Word tells us he sowed his seed, then went away sleeping and rising! This does not sound like worrying and be afraid to me. Then at the proper time the ground brings forth the promise of the seed, this is the harvest or the breakthrough! The Farmers job was to do what he knew to do: plant, sleep, rise and do his daily work, then allow the Lord of the Harvest to bring forth the promise.

Jesus was showing us how often we become impatient and try and get ahead of God. When God has given us a promise to stand on we want to know as my pastor always tells us people will doubt by asking questions like “God how are you going to do that? Or When are you going to bring it to pass?
In verse 27 says “and then continues sleeping and rising night and day while the seed sprouts and grows and increases, he himself does not know how. A farmer never knows exactly when his crop will come in, but he knows that it will. He does what he can and allows God to do the rest. We need to do the same thing. We are to believe we have a breakthrough coming, we sleep and rise and allow God to bring it about in due season. The farmer planted the seed believing for his return, his promise, his breakthrough and we are to do the same!

Remain blessed.
