We should not test the Lord, as some of them did - & were killed by snakes. And do not grumble, as some of them did - & were killed by the destroying angel. These things happened to them as examples & were written down as warnings for us, on whom fulfilment of the ages of the ages has come. (1Corinthians 10:10-11). Today's pressures make it easy to ignore or to forget the lessons of the past. But apostle Paul cautions us to remember the lessons the Israelites learned about God so that we can avoid repeating their mistakes or errors. The key to remembering is to study the Bible regularly so that these lessons remind us of how God wants us to live. We should avoid Israel's mistakes. They were written in the Bible as warnings to us. The Bible is Word of God. It is God talking to us. Hear it, read it, study it, memorize key passages, meditate on it day & night, obey its principles, pray the Word, share it with others. You will have power & enjoy victory always over satan, your situation & circumstances. If you are a praying Christian, you will have more power. Your life will be characterized by miracles, signs & wonders. But you have to pray the Word or His will. This is the condition. If you are not a praying Christian, you will not have power to do anything. You will not believe God to work out answers to your situations & circumstances. You will complain, & grumble all the time. Always being negative, gossiping about others with whoever you meet with. You will be a bad influence. God forbid. Let us be devoted to prayer & to the Word of God. Strive to live a life of holiness. I repeat: No prayer, no power. Little prayer, little power. The Bible says: He who wins souls is wise. Soul winning is our primary assignment from God. Every soul is precious before God. God wants us to do the Great Commission (evangelism & discipleship). This must be powered by the Greatest Commandment (loving God wholeheartedly & loving others as ourselves). Thank you Jesus. Good morning Holy Spirit. Prayer: Father, open our spiritual eyes as we study your Bible so that we will not repeat Israel's mistakes. As we study your Word, open up our minds to understand the Scriptures. Give us the grace to put into practice what we learn from the Bible. Help us to combine the Word that we hear with our faith so that we transfer action from the pages of the Bible into our personal lives. Put your angels to action. Let them minister to our individual needs & corporate needs. In Jesus mighty name we pray & believe, Amen. God bless you all.
Business God's Way: During this annual shutdown for most businesses, i urge you to rest, have quality time with the family & connect with God. Go for a holiday with the family if you can afford. After that, spend some quality time with God in a quiet place for an hour or so & seek His guidance. Carry your note pad & write the points down. Read your Bible, do meditation & pray. Present your plans to the Lord for the coming year & let Him approve them in His own time & in His own way. Be calm, quiet & composed, in order to hear that small still voice, gentle whisper from God. Result: The voice of God will give you guidance & direction for the coming year 2023. If things have not been okay with you in business, the Lord will enable you to have peace & joy in the midst of such storms. He will give you a way out. Do not panic no matter what comes your way. Remain focused on the perfomance & growth of your business. Do not murmur or complain...
