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……..

WHEN YOUR SAMUEL COMES

WHEN YOUR SAMUEL COMES Hannah made a vowed which GOD honors and remembered her.   1 Samuel 1 vs. 19-20: And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD and returned and came to their house to Ramah; and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her. Wherefore it came to pass when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying because I have asked him of the LORD.      What a wonderful GOD! She asked for a man child and He gave her exactly. She should have asked for sets of twin or triplet, which GOD would have given her. There is nothing GOD cannot do, He cannot be limited. With Him all things are possible. Mind you Hannah fulfilled her vow by giving the son back to him. Many make vows and don’t fulfill it. Be conscious of these, GOD’s way are not the ways of men, His thoughts are not ours. GOD has his own timing. His timing doesn’t match with the timing of ...

TOLERANCE

TOLERANCE I start quoting Robert Green Ingersoll “Tolerance is giving every other human being every right that you claim for yourself ”. This is a virtue every man scarcely has nowadays. Men nowadays find it difficult to tolerate each other. In all religions, Christians are to exhibit tolerance the most; because CHRIST stated that it’s the second greatest commandment. Matthew 22 vs.38-39: This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. But the reverse is the case now, most Christians exhibit intolerance. They can’t tolerate their Christian brothers talk less of those outside their religion. This is awful and not so good. Hebrews 13 vs. 1-2: Let brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unaware. Abraham exhibited tolerance, he suddenly noticed three men coming toward him and ran to meet them and welcomed them. He gave them water to wash their feet’s...

WHAT REASON?

WHAT REASON? This write up is a question to us all. What reason? Reason is a motive for an action or determination. To every reason, there is a motive and action. GOD created us for a reason. He made us to worship Him and glorify Him. The bible says GOD is a spirit and they that worship Him, should worship Him in spirit and truth. GOD sent his son JESUS for a reason. He came to this world to die for all our sins . In Job 1 vs. 7: GOD said to satan, where have you been? satan answered the LORD, I have been wandering around on the earth . The devil wanders around on the earth for a reason; he wanders to steal, kill and destroy. vs. 8: Then the Lord said to satan, have you seen my servant Job? There is no person on earth like Job. Job is a good and faithful man. He worships GOD and refuses to do evil things. Vs. 9-10: satan answered and said, sure! But Job has a good reason for worshipping GOD. You always protect him, his family, and everything he has. You have made him successful ...
