Declare it, and it shall be!

 Job 22:28

You will also declare a thing, And it will be established for you; So light will shine on your ways.

When times are tough, we can take a lesson from Job. Job had everything at one point, and the next, he lost everything. Satan wanted to prove to God that Job served Him only because he had everything. However, that did not turn out that way. God remained Job's anchor. This verse, reminds us of the power that we were entrusted with, in which our faith will materialize anything that we declare and believe. We don't live by sight but by faith; and if we have faith, and believe what God has spoken over us, when we declare it shall be. I'm reminded of a bible story where Jesus was walking with His disciples and He saw a fig tree, He cursed that tree that it will no longer bear any fruit. His faith was so strong that He didn't find Himself going to check the tree after a while if what He said materialized. But He knew that it was a done deal (which was the case).

God expects us to have the same kind of faith. Declare something and have so much faith that it is done, and it shall be. Remember we have the Holy Spirit powering us, we do not speak out of our own terms but we allow the Holy Spirit to live and achieve things through us. Hence, when we come in agreement with the word of God, no hater, no devil can stop what the Lord has already planned. His word can be trusted, once spoken, it shall not return void (Isaiah 55:11). Believe, believe, believe. That is our only part that we need to bring in this relationship. Trust Him and His abilities, He can do it!

Our King is alive, He sees and hears you...

 1 Peter 3:18 Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but He died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but He was raised to life in the Spirit. The recollection about Jesus, is one of the most powerful  story ever. His life story has impacted humanity so much, we just find ourselves in awe and feeling privileged . Jesus died for us, sinners, in order to bring us safely home, to our Father, how amazing is that! He was born to die for us, in order for us not to perish , but to live an eternal life, in communion with our Father (John 3:16). What is wonderful also, is that in as much they crucified Him and He died, He subsequently rose after three days. This means, our King is alive! We serve a King that is alive and infact through  the Holy Spirit, He lives in us! This gives  us boldness that we are not going through life on our own, but we have the Most High living in us and being there with us even in turbul...

We have peace bacause of what Christ has done for us...

 Romans 5:1 Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. Peace is everything to me, when there's something not right in my spirit, I become uncomfortable, unsettled and unhappy. Which is why it is so pleasing to hear that we have been made right with God by faith, by an act of Jesus obeying and seeing it through for Him to be crucified like that, has made us righteous with God and He is pleased with us. This verse tells us that we have peace with God, what a relief this is! No longer do we have to worry about the mistakes we made and the shame they brought us, but because Jesus' blood cleansed us completely, we can have peace in our hearts and just enjoy our relationship with our Father. Isaiah 44:22 says " I have swept away your sins like a cloud. I have scattered your offenses like the morning mist. Oh, return to me, for I have paid the price to set you free.” Isn't thi...

Don't conform to the world standards...

 Romans 12:2 Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. As the body of Christ, we are meant not to conform to the standards, norms and behaviours of this world, which could lead us straight to the path of unrighteousness. But we are meant to follow the example set by Christ, as our great Shepherd. By so doing, we are meant to lead others to Christ by our behaviours and the way we live life. Jesus as our example, has set for us the standard of living, which  is totally different from the world. For example, the world says be selfish and look out for yourself and don't share with others to preserve your resources. But Christ's way is the very opposite, one of being selfless, being considerate of others and being generous.  This bible verse tells us that when we allow the Lord to transform us, in the way we...
