His Truth, And Not My Truth

“His truth shall be my shield and buckler.”(Psalms 91:4)

 The only truth is God’s truth which is revealed to us in word of God.

The Psalmist has declared that God’s truth is the only true truth; that can shield him from the wiles of the devil. 

Many times what we believe to be true is really a lie. Because we may unknowingly believe in superstitious fables and lies that we may have adopted in our faith walk. The only truth is God’s truth which is revealed to us in word of God.

Beloved, as we get intimate with Jesus the Way, the Truth, and the Life we will experience the joy and freedom that the Truth brings.

Jesus says. “You shall know the truth; and the truth shall set you free.”(John 8:32).

Let us allow His truth to become our truth and to be our shield and buckler!

Run With Endurance

 “…that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.”(Rom 15:4)

Endurance- being able to stand firm inspite of difficult times.

 

Whenever we feel like giving up, quitting, or just throwing in the towel. We can always look to the Word of God for encouragement and hope.

 Beloved, life is not a sprint, but it is a marathon; therefore we must pace ourselves so that we can endure. This race is not for the swift but this race can only be finished by those with endurance.   

More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, (Rom 5:3-4)
Whenever we become exhausted and are tempted to give up; let us, “Think of Him who endured such opposition against Himself by sinners, so that you may not grow weary in your souls and give up.”(Heb12:3)
Beloved let us lay aside every weight and sin that prevents, distract or hinder us from steadfastly running the Christian race and keep our eyes and mind on the promises of God, which are yes and amen.
“He who endures to the end will be saved”(Matt 24:13)

   

Dream Big

    

“Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” (Luke 18:17)

 

 Big-of considerable size, number, quantity, magnitude, or extent; large.

 

Except we have a childlike attitude toward the promises of God, we will not be able to possess the kingdom of God.

Jesus encourages childlikeness because a child is limitless when dreaming or imagining, and their ability to believe the stories they are told is immeasurable.

 Child comes with expectations and excitement, and is dependent on their parents; likewise our Father expects us to come into His presence with faith and joy. 

Beloved we tend to allow our financial and physical limitations to affect our spiritual lives; therefore we do not allow our mind to soar and dream big. In (Gen 11:6) “God said, nothing that they IMAGINE will be impossible for them to do.”

 We should not be afraid to dream big, guess what a vision is FREE so we can add as much as we desire because it won’t cost us anything. Beloved, let us dream BIG, think BIG, and speak BIG; because our God is BIG, He can do more than we can ever ask or think.

 

Sustained In The Wilderness

“For forty years You sustained them in the wilderness; they lacked nothing, their clothes did not wear out nor did their feet become swollen.”(Neh 9:21)

Sustain  to strengthen or support physically or mentally.

Are you in a wilderness whether financially, physical or otherwise? Well the Lord who is the same yesterday, today and forever has been sustaining His people through life’s wilderness for generations.

Not only did their clothes not wear out, but their feet were not swollen.

Beloved, imagine wearing the same clothes for forty years but because it is kept by the Lord so it cannot wear out; if God can keep our clothes from wearing out He is more than able to keep us from growing weary. That is why as we wait on the Lord we get renewed strength to keep us on our journey through our personal wildernesses.

Jesus admonishes us not to worry about what to eat drink or wear. (Matt 6:31)He is with us to strengthen and support us through any wilderness we may be passing through.

Finding Peace

“Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”(Phil 4:4-7)

The Word of God has given us the solution to peace; let’s take a look:-

• ·         First we should always be joyful
• ·         Be gentle to mankind
• ·         Know that the Lord is near
• ·         Don’t be anxious, or hasty
• ·         Pray about everything
• ·         Finally, be thankful

As we following these instructions then we will experience the peace of God which passes all understanding will guard our heart and mind through Christ Jesus.
