We have been freed from fear!

 Psalm 34:4

I prayed to the Lord, and He answered me. He freed me from all my fears. 

Prayer is an important aspect of our lives, a tool that we use to communicate to God everything that is in our hearts. God is so close to us, so close like our breath. This is described in the book of Acts 17:28 and it says: "He is the God as close to you, as near to you as your own breath! He is the God in whom “we live and move and have our being”. This paints a picture that God sees every moment of our lives, whether we are sleeping, awake, working, praying, He sees and hears everything. Therefore, there is no such thing that God doesn't hear you pray (which you can assume to be the reason for the lack of answers to your prayers). Remember, we don't operate on the same timing as God. This means at times the answer has already been given, but it will manifest at the right time (which could be in a few days, months or even years). That means God was strengthening your faith and developing patience in you. Or, He may not answer in the way you expect, as He may have something better for you; which is why we need to have an open heart and surrender to His will. Accept and allow what He says and gives. He knows what's best. Bottom line is, God does answer and this should serves as something that strengthens our faith in Him.

Furthermore, God sent Jesus to the cross to give us freedom from sins and things that were binding us. Now that the work is done on the cross, we may be free! Freedom from fear is a big deal, as fear can freeze you, it can stop your life and it can stop you from dreaming and being the person God designed you to be. A sure thing is that fear comes from the enemy, as a plot to block you from achieving amazing things with your Father. Remember we are told that God gave us not the spirit of fear, but of love, sound mind and power! Therefore, when fear comes knocking, start rejecting and rebuking the devil, he will flee away (James 4:7). Receive the Holy Spirit freeing you, for the bible says where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom (2 Corinthians 3:17-18). Receive your freedom in Jesus name!

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 turbulent  times, just li

By knowing Christ, we get a chance of living a life that is pleasing to the Lord.

 2 Peter 1:3 By His divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a Godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know Him, the one who called us to Himself by means of His marvelous glory and excellence. By coming to know Christ, learning about Him in the word, we now have the ability to live a Godly life. This means by God's divine power, He has equipped us with the relevant information and teachings, on how we are to live our lives. The bible tells us that Jesus was sent to be our role model, our example of the things the Lord expects to see in us and to see in our daily walk here on earth. These things allow us to live a life that is acceptable in His eyes. However, God understands that we are not perfect (and we should never pressurize ourselves to be perfect), but with the guidance we have, we know that where we fall short, we can run to the Lord without guilt or shame, knowing that He is our Father who loves us and is willing to help us every step of t

Let us tell of the wonderful things He has done!

 Psalm 9:1 I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things You have done. And that is called a testimony, telling of the wonderful  things that the Lord has done! With God on our side, we have  an advantage, where we are protected from certain things, where God ochestrates things for us so that they work in our favour (Romans 8:28). He heals us, He provides for us, He opens and closes doors and so much more. Which is why the only two things that we can do to show gratitude for all that He does for us, is first to recognize His role in the whole thing . That in our own strength, we wouldn't have been able to achieve those thigs, gotten favoured or have that opportunity come through. Basically,  giving credit where it is due, and by so doing, we give Him the glory and honour that He deserves. The second thing   that   we  ought to do, is to testify of His goodness in our lives. Us sharing of what we have seen in our lives God doing, can give someon
