July 29.    WHEN GOD ‘FAILS’ YOU Here’s what Yahweh says to you: “I know all about the marvelous destiny I have in store for you, a future planned out in detail. My intention is not to harm you but to surround you with peace and prosperity and to give you a beautiful future, glistening with hope. Jeremiah 29:11 TPT Do you trust God with the whole of your being and things seem not to work as you plan it? I congratulate you. Many people have been there before including your very own me. It is so painful, frustrating and disappointing. God has a message for you today. Jeremiah 29:11 is your message. Will you believe Him? He has a marvelous destiny planned out for you. Remember Joseph! He had a destiny of kingship and redeemer of his people for him but he spent years in disappointment of life in slavery and prison as the route to destiny.  God does not plan to harm you even when the path He chooses to take you to destiny is very rough. The destiny He has for you c...

July 28.    FEAR AND ANXIETY QUENCHER When I am afraid, I will trust you. I praise God for his word. I trust God, so I am not afraid. What can human beings do to me? Psalms 56:3-4 NCV HAPPY DAY TO YOU: When God starts a work of deliverance and salvation from our troubles, we must be able to stand in the peace and joy that He gives us as the initial answer to our prayer. While waiting, for manifestation, doubts about God’s love for you, His ability to fulfil what He says, brings the consequences of failure to you vividly etc. How can you overcome all these negative thoughts and feelings while waiting for God to perform?  Anxious thoughts are best put down by praising God. Having gone through such moments several times myself, I found this to be true not just in theory but real life experience. When I don't know what praise to say I sing. I find hymns best for me. Philippians 4:6. Praising God calms my heart down and brings me to the state where I totally surren...

July 27.     THE FRIENDS FACTOR I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know what his master is doing. But I call you friends, because I have made known to you everything I heard from my Father. John 15:15 NCV I want to share what friendship with Jesus did in my life. I had a private issue that it needed a miracle to resolve. I prayed a lot and did night vigils and in one of the vigils, I knew something shifted in the spirit but nothing happened in the natural realm. In actual fact, things were getting tougher and more desperate.  In my heart, I heard ‘I am your friend'. I quickly went to search for friends in the bible. The first one that touched me was Proverbs 17:17 TPT [17] A dear friend will love you no matter what, and a family sticks together through all kinds of trouble. I became very conscious of Jesus with me as my friend and a family. My discussion/pleading with Him changed from that of Master to friend and brother. My mind th...

July 25.   SHOWERS OF BLESSINGS HYMN: THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSINGS I will make them and the places surrounding my hill a blessing. I will send down showers in season; there will be showers of blessing. Ezekiel 34:26 There shall be showers of blessing 1 There shall be showers of blessing: This is the promise of love; There shall be seasons refreshing, Sent from the Savior above.   Refrain : Showers of blessing, Showers of blessing we need: Mercy-drops round us are falling, But for the showers we plead. 2 There shall be showers of blessing, Precious reviving again; Over the hills and the valleys, Sound of abundance of rain.  [ Refrain ] 3 There shall be showers of blessing: Send them upon us, O Lord; Grant to us now a refreshing, Come and now honor Thy Word.  [ Refrain ] 4 There shall be showers of blessing: Oh, that today they might fall, Now as to God we're confessing, Now as on Jesus we call!  [ Refrain ] If you need showers of blessings...

July 24.      FAITH OR PRESUMPTION Some Jews who went around driving out evil spirits tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who were demon-possessed. They would say, “In the name of the Jesus whom Paul preaches, I command you to come out.”  One day the evil spirit answered them, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know about, but who are you?” Then the man who had the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them all. He gave them such a beating that they ran out of the house naked and bleeding. Acts 19:13, 15-16 NIV One of the most misunderstood principles in the Christian faith is the issue of faith. I find that there is no clear definition to it because faith is life. It is often confused with presumption. Let me give a simple but common example of presumption. My niece believed I had money to buy a phone for her. She took the phone on credit promising to pay within a week without obtaining my permission. When she told me, I didn't have such mo...

July 23.     FAITH GROWS We ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love all of you have for one another is increasing. 2 Thessalonians 1:3 NIV   Yesterday, we saw Jesus described a Canaanite woman to be of great faith while He described Peter His disciples to be of little faith. We eventually saw Peter become a man of great faith after the death and resurrection of Jesus. Faith does grow and how does that happen? What made the church in Thessalonica strong in faith? It was persecution for their faith in Christ. They were persecuted but they remained faithful to Christ.  I also learnt to grow my faith by taking note of times I believed God and He performed. That has strengthened my faith greatly.  The foundation of faith however is by hearing the word of God on which you base your trust. You need to read the word of God. God says He will bless the work of my ha...

July 22.   Job ch 9-11; Acts 20:9-38 GREAT FAITH Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.” He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.” The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said. He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.” “Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.” Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment. Matthew 15:23-28 NIV   Yesterday, we saw Jesus say Apostle Paul had little faith. Today we shall see Him say to a non Israeli woman that she had great faith. I chose to put the bulk of the story in to bring out the lesson clearly.  The woman came to Jesus to heal her daughter. The Apostles tried to keep her off telling her to stop disturbing Jesus. She ignored them and...
