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...

OUR DAYS.

OUR DAYS Greetings to all reading on this platform worldwide. I write on this topic OUR DAYS even as   my twin sister and I are a year older today. Glory be to GOD for a new year and a new day. A song says great is thy faithfulness, Oh LORD my father, morning by morning new mercies we see, all we have needed his hands have provided, Great is thy faithfulness. Truly great is his faithfulness toward all men. Many are not convinced of these, many don’t see something special in GOD’s faithfulness towards them. David said “Then I lay down and slept in peace and woke up safely, for the LORD was watching over me. He GOD never sleeps nor slumber over us, we just find out we sleep and before you know it, you open your eye to a new day. This is the LORD’s doing and it should be marvelous in our sights. We are to see reasons to always appreciate and thank GOD for his goodness, mercies and faithfulness. That you are alive shows He is faithful. The gift of life which is the greatest of...

TRAPPED BY YOUR OWN DESIRES 1

TRAPPED BY YOUR OWN DESIRES 1 Everybody has a desire and some desires glorify GOD, while some do not. Desire is a strong feeling of wanting something. Many get trapped by their desires. The LORD our GOD knows our needs, desires and expectations; we are to delight ourselves in the LORD, commit our ways unto the LORD so he can give us our desires. Psalm 37 vs. 4-5: Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. Many have desires that are against GOD’s will. Many have desires that will take the place of GOD. Many have desires that will lead to disobedience to GOD’s will. Paul said in 2 Corinthians 10 vs. 5: Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalt itself against the knowledge of GOD, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of CHRIST. There are imaginations and desires that will repel a man from GOD’s plan and will for his life. W...
