ARE YOU DISCOURAGED?

                           ARE YOU DISCOURAGED?
 Discouragement is an act of being discouraged. To be discouraged is to extinct courage, it means to be dishearten, and it means to be depressed in the spirit. When you are discouraged, you will lose confidence. Discouragement is not meant for us as children of GOD. We are to encourage ourselves in the lord, just like David did when h lost everything after the battle. Job was discouraged, he was depressed, he encouraged himself hoping in GOD. There are circumstances and there are situations that you might think will overcome you, many a time we find ourselves in situations we think will overcome us,  it’s a capital NO! Have you come across what David said in Psalms: Why art thou cast down oh my soul? Why art thou disquieted in me? Hope thou in GOD; for I shall yet praise him, for the help of his countenance. We are to hope in GOD, casting down your soul won’t bring the solution, been discouraged won’t bring the solution either. You are to encourage yourself in the Lord hoping and trusting him; because he is the present help in time of needs. I once was discouraged and the circumstances was gradually weighing me down, I was led to this verse Psalms 42 and I encouraged myself saying a word of prayer with the words in Psalms 42; I had a happy ending and was filled with joy at the end. GOD is our father, he knows all things, his thoughts are not ours, neither are his ways ours; he has not forgotten you; he still remains GOD no matter what you are passing through. That is why brother and sister’s we have to encourage ourselves in the Lord so as to yet praise him, no matter any situation or circumstance that comes our way.

         Finally, no matter what you are facing, it has been faced by a lot of people in the past, you either encourage yourself in GOD; hoping he helps you overcome or discourage yourself and be weighed down by the circumstance which leads to you being a loser. We are not losers, we are overcomes; because we are more than a conqueror, only if we encourage ourselves in the LORD. Tell somebody today, in any circumstances encourage yourself in the Lord! It is well with us……..

AN OUTCAST

AN OUTCAST An outcast is one that has been excluded from a society or system. He is labeled a beggar. He is an outsider. An outcast is a person that lacks care. An outcast is neglected and overlooked. He is demoralized. He is wounded in heart. He is labeled whom no one cares. He is one that has lost hope. He is one who is frustrated and dejected. He is one who is always deep in thoughts and sorrowful. He is one who lives like a foreigner in his own land. He is one who is distressed. He is one who gets dispossessed of his possessions. He is one who is perplexed. He is one who is troubled on every side. He is one who is despair. He is afraid of tomorrow. CHRIST came that we might have a restored hope. He came to bare that burden of ours. He came to give us that expected end. He came that we might have peace. He came that we might be healed . Isaiah 53 vs. 5: But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and w...

HE THAT COVERS

HE THAT COVERS To cover is to hide and to conceal. A man cannot be wiser than his Maker or Creator. GOD is our Maker; He molded us and formed us into what we are. He is the Potter, we are the clay. Jeremiah 18 vs. 6: O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? Says the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the Potter’s hand, so are you in my hand O house of Israel. GOD sees all and His foolishness is wiser than man’s strength. 1 Corinthians 1 vs. 25: Because the foolishness of GOD is wiser than men, and the weakness of GOD is stronger than men. A man that covers his sins prospers not; but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy. Proverbs 28 vs. 13: Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy. Cain was a tiller of the ground; Abel was his brother and was a keeper of sheep. Cain brought fruits of the soil as an offering to GOD, Abel also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat; which the...

RETAINING YOUR INTEGRITY

RETAINING YOUR INTEGRITY Integrity is a word which means steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code. It also means the quality or condition of being complete and pure. It could also mean honesty, uprightness, purity, sincerity, decency, virtuous and wholeness. To retain is to keep in possession and maintain something. Many a time people find it difficult retaining their integrity. It takes determination to stand on your integrity. Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. GOD is a lover of men of integrity. Daniel 1 vs. 8-9: But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. Now GOD had brought Daniel into favor and tender love wi...
