Remember ALL that the Lord has done for you...

 Psalm 77:11-12

But then I recall all You have done, O LORD; I remember Your wonderful deeds of long ago. They are constantly in my thoughts. I cannot stop thinking about Your mighty works.

We may have things that we need God to come through for us with, but we the truth is, God has already done so much for us. Some of which it is things we don't even see with our eyes but when we are fair, we would recognize that it was the hand of God. This could be as simple as protection from accidents of all sorts. It is not our intellect or luck that we survive each day wherever we are, it is because God said so. He kept us safe from any harm that could've finished us off. It's those things that we need to constantly keep reminding ourselves of the role God that plays in our lives, which will humble us and make us to have a grateful heart. God loves a grateful heart...

Maybe instead of always focusing on the negative things surrounding us, let us be intentional and decide to focus on His goodness, on the things that we can be grateful for, including the life we still have. Others would've wanted to see another day, but they couldn't. Us being able to take a breath in the morning, tells us that God still has a purpose for our lives, it may not be the way we want it or wanted it to be, but let us be grateful for the improvements (no matter how small they are). Should your life have deteriorated from what it was, it is time you really seek God and ask for His mercy and intervention in your life. Remind God of John 10:10 that tells us that Jesus came to give us life in abundance; this means abundance in every area! Therefore, ask Him to reveal if you are still in a process to receiving that life, if so, ask for His mercy as you endure that process. He is merciful and He would want to help you, when you ask (Matthew 7:7).

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
