I have taken you...!

Isaiah 41:9-10, 13 NKJV

You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, And called from its farthest regions, And said to you, ‘You are My servant, I have chosen you and have not cast you away: Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’ For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand, Saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.’

Have you not known? Have you not heard...?

Isaiah 40:28-29 NKJV

Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord , The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the weak, And to those  who  have no might He increases strength.

******
Shalom! Day #180. Do you know that our God  does not sleeps neither faints not is weary? Let's pray. Father, indeed who can fathom Your mysteries and who has known Your mind? But everything You do for us has a purpose for it. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

God will never ever faint, neither is weary nor sleeps. Who can fathom the deep things of God, the mysteries of God? The things that the Lord has prepared for us is way out of human understanding and comprehension. No words that could ever describe His extraordinary works in our lives but to stand in awe at His awesomeness.  As it is written in 1 Corinthians 2:9 eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of  man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him. That extraordinary,  immeasurable, unstoppable, unlimited works of God to be expounded and to be experienced in our lives, oh what a privilege!  His understanding about your lives is unsearchable.

He gives power and authority to the weak. He gives strength to those who have no might.  He is the everlasting Father who takes care of the needs of His children's.  Whenever you are down, He is there to cheer you up. He is a Shepherd that cares for His flocks. He makes sure that none is misled and not stray away. He keeps them under His wings. He is God the Almighty! Hallelujah!!!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

The Lord remembers...!

Isaiah 38:3-5 NKJV

and said, “Remember now, O Lord , I pray, how I have walked before You in truth and with a loyal heart, and have done what  is good in Your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly. And the word of the Lord came to Isaiah, saying, “Go and tell Hezekiah, ‘Thus says the Lord , the God of David your father: “I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; surely I will add to your days fifteen years.

******
Shalom. Day #179. Do you know that the Lord remembers you every good works and shall reward you? Let's pray. Father, we pray today that as we diligently serve You, let not our service is in vain but let it bear fruits and that You shall reward each and everyone accordingly. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

The Lord remembers your good works. He doesn't remembers your sins,  but he remembers every good work you do in His name. The bible says in 1 Corinthians 15:58 that, always abounding in the work of the Lord,  knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.  And in Matthew 16:27 Jesus says, .... He will reward each according to his works. Now, fellow believers, if you have walked before God in truth and with a loyal heart and have done what is good in His sight, therefore I say to you today, God will cause you to receive favor upon favor from God and from man. In the verse we read, says that Hezekiah wept bitterly. This shows the seriousness he had when he serve before the Lord.

The seriousness,  diligence and effectiveness in ministry,  and your life, God sees it. He releases favor, grace and blessings for you. Never ever feel that God is not a listener of your prayers or He is not looking at the works you do. The tears, the prayers, the works and everything you do for the Lord, it counts. Therefore favor and promotion comes from the Lord. Be sincere, serious,  and diligent in serving Him.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

He is mighty to save you...!

Isaiah 35:3-4 NKJV

Strengthen the weak hands, And make firm the feeble knees. Say to those who  are fearful-hearted, “Be strong, do not fear! Behold, your God will come with  vengeance, With the recompense of God; He will come and save you.”

******
Shalom!  Day #178. Do you know that our God, He is mighty to save? Let's pray.  Father,  we acknowledge Your power and that You are mighty to save us, to heal us, to deliver us and that You fight the battles for us.  In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

We are called to encourage one another. The body of Christ is about being in unity, helping one another to run the race, building up one another, serving together. So today, I choose to encourage YOU, yes you who read my blog daily. I'm not able to bless you financially,  but I pray this words of encouragement would bless you and that you may regain your vision to move on. Though you may feel the world is against you, be strong you can do it! You don't have to be bothered by what people has to say about you. The most important thing is what does God has to say about you. There is nothing to hard for God to intervene and create a fresh miracle for you. He is able! He is mighty to save! And hey God has given you the power to call into existence those that aren't exist. He has given you authority to bind and loosen things on earth. He even says HEY, I AM BATTLING FOR YOU, YOU SIT BACK AND WATCH AND PRAY AND BELIEVE! Are your hands weak today? Wait upon the Lord and He shall renew your strength. Are your knees shaking today? Hey be steadfast and immovable for when God is for us who can be against us?

Behold, your God will come with  vengeance, With the recompense of God; He will come and save you. Vengeance is of the Lord. Revenge belongs to the Lord. Always remember this, you are not in any position to take revenge on those who hurt you, but the bible says, to bless those who despitefully used you and persecute you. He will come to your rescue.  He is mighty to heal you, but your mind says I DON'T THINK SO. Let me say this once again. Let it be loud and clear. HE IS MIGHTY TO HEAL YOU! You think that He is not able to heal you from lets say, cancer may be, or migraine,  or the gastric you going through, oh come  on you name it... do you think that He is not able to HEAL YOU? Come on, the Lord that I serve, His name is Jesus Christ, the Son of God! No sickness or pain or any medical term is able to stop Him from touching your life today and to receive the healing!!! Come on, the doctor's word is not the finality of your life. The word of God concerning your life is the finality of your life! Again, call into existence those that are not exist! Financial blessing? Call it. Healing! Call it. Restoration? Call it! Come on, the final thing that I would like to say is have a heart that believes in Him who is able to create a fresh miracle for you...! Imagine this, that your life is in God's hand, what you could be, what you could receive? Now that's just an imagination. How about we try something for real? If you are willing to trust God, then place your life into His hand,  a call for total surrender. He said that He has written your name in His palm. So, what's your move? Cheer up people!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Blessed are all those who wait for Him...!

Isaiah 30:18 NKJV

Therefore the Lord will wait, that He may be gracious to you; And therefore He will be exalted, that He may have mercy on you. For the Lord  is a God of justice; Blessed are all those who wait for Him.

******
Shalom! Day #177. Do you that the Lord takes time to wait for you that He may show His grace and mercy upon you? Let's pray. Father, we thank You that You have waited patiently for us to return back to You. Now that we have returned,  help us to remain in You. Thank You for You have risen to show Your love, grace and mercy towards us. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Someone once said waiting time is never a wasted time. The time we take to wait upon the Lord is a precious time to God. Because it is in that waiting time period God begins a new work in us. He renews our strength. He revive us spiritually. He refills those who thirst and hunger for His love. In this verse we read, it says God will wait. It other words it means He is not hurry burry. He patiently works in you. Bit by bit He works in us. Removing all those things which aren't pleasing unto Him. Reshaping the characters and attitudes. Reinstating the heart of obedience,  faithfulness, servant heart. God does not work hurry burry in the lives of His chosen ones. He works patiently until it is done. It is a lifelong process.  God is able to change a person no matter how bad he or she is. He is able to change and it is a matter of time for the final product. I believe we have come across this statement many a times "GOD IS STILL WORKING IN ME." Indeed it is a true statement.  He is still working in each one of us. He that called us and has began a good work in us is faithful and will accomplish it.

Isaiah 40:31 NKJV But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.

Blessed are all those who wait for Him. Waiting upon the Lord means not to sit and just wait and do nothing. It means to wait in His presence. To seek Him. To listen to His voice.  To sumbit to His will. To do what He instructs us to do. So are we using the time God has taken to wait for us so that we can come to Him in total surrender and letting be in control of our lives?

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Thou shall not lip service...!

Isaiah 29:13-14 NKJV

Therefore the Lord said: “Inasmuch as these people draw near with their mouths And honor Me with their lips, But have removed their hearts far from Me, And their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men, Therefore, behold, I will again do a marvelous work Among this people, A marvelous work and a wonder; For the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, And the understanding of their prudent men shall be hidden.”

******
Shalom! Day #176. Do you know that most us of drawing near to God like a "touch & go" service? Let's pray. Father, as we draw near to You today, let us not come carelessly. Let us not come with a lip service. Forgive us Lord if we have done this. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Inasmuch as these people draw near with their mouths And honor Me with their lips. What is LIP SERVICE? It means TO EXPRESS SUPPORT OR APPROVAL WITH WORDS ONLY AND NOT SINCERELY AND NO ACTIONS TO BACK IT UP. There is a term NATO, No Action, Talk Only. We come to God to worship Him, but with our lips only because our heart is wandering somewhere else. We go to church every sunday to worship,  but for some it's like a weekly routine.  They come, they worship, they go empty because their focus is somewhere else. Where your treasure is, there your heart will be. Many believers,  when they have problems, then only they will begin to seek the Lord earnestly with all their hearts. If no problem, then touch and go service. People are following and doing man made rules and tradtions. Even in the house of God there are traditions to follow and to do, set by humans yet in this there is no wholeheartedness. Doing for the sake of doing.  Worshipping for the sake of worshipping.  Serving for the sake of serving.  In all this, wholeheartedness is not found.

Therefore, behold, I will again do a marvelous work Among this people, A marvelous work and a wonder; For the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, And the understanding of their prudent men shall be hidden. It's only a matter of time for God to do this marvelous works amongst His people. What would you want to see happen in your life today, call it into existence. And you shall see the wondrous works of God in your life when you begin to seek Him, worship Him, serve Him and love Him wholeheartedly.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Jesus is my firm foundation...!

Isaiah 28:16, 26 NKJV

Therefore thus says the Lord God : “Behold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation, A tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; Whoever believes will not act hastily. For He instructs him in right judgment, His God teaches him.

******
Shalom! Day #175. Do you know that your life must be build upon a strong, unshakeable, immovable foundation? Let's pray.  Father, as we grow and be rooted in You, let our lives be built on the strong and firm foundation, Jesus Christ Himself.  In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Jesus is the Cornerstone of our lives. He is our Firm Foundation, in Him we can stand secured. Our lives must be built upon the Word of God. Do not let the basement of your life be weak. If the basement is weak, then the building cannot be strong. Your life must be based on the living Word of God. When the Word, Jesus Christ Himself be our foundation,  nothing will be able to shake you or move you, because you have placed your whole trust in the Lord Jesus Christ and in His living word.

When we live our lives according to His word, He will instruct us and teach us the way we should go, the way must live. Everything regarding to our lives, His plans and purposes, His guidance, His promises, it is all found in Christ alone. Your future is in Christ alone. Therefore let Jesus be the center of our lives and let Him be strong and firm foundation of our lives that we may live according to His promises concerning our lives and prosper in everything we do. Amen!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

In Christ alone is my perfect peace...!

Isaiah 26:3-4 NKJV

You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on  You, Because he trusts in You. Trust in the Lord forever, For in YAH, the Lord , is everlasting strength.

******
Shalom!  Day #174. Do you know that perfect peace is only found in Jesus alone? Let's pray. Father, we come before this day. Let us not stray away from Your truth and seek the wisdom and from the world,  but help us to continually walk with You and remain in You, for in You alone, in Christ alone we find live and perfect peace. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

John 14:27 NKJV Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

You will keep him in perfect peace. You cannot find this kind of peace anywhere except in Jesus alone.  Not as the world gives.  Hallelujah!  When you begin to trust in Him, not letting your heart be troubled by the situations and circumstances,  a total surrender and trust in Jesus,  though you walk through the storms of life,  you shall feel His perfect peace in your heart!

Trust in the Lord forever.  Never let anything to shake your faith in Him. The devil may try many ways, many devious schemes,  never be shaken but stand strong and trust Him till the end. For when your trust is in the Lord,  your strength be renewed daily as you remain in Him and trust in Him. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid, but trust in Him forever!!!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

I will trust and not be afraid...!

Isaiah 12:2-3 NKJV

Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; ‘For Yah , the Lord , is my strength and song; He also has become my salvation.’ ” Therefore with joy you will draw water From the wells of salvation.

******
Shalom!  Day #173. Do you know although we go through difficulties,  problems, troubles, stressful situation,  yet there is a peace in our heart because our hope and trust is in the Lord?  Let's pray.  Father, as we come before You today, not looking at our difficulties or situations, but with a heart that's fully trusting You we shall not be afraid knowing that You are our Rock and Salvation. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

A heart that's fully trusting in God will continue to hope and trust in Him no matter what the situation is, no matter how difficult it can be, he shall never be shaken because his trust is in the Lord. God is my salvation. The word SALVATION is the root word for SALVAGE which means TO SAVE, in hebrew SALVATION is YASHUW'AH means TO DELIVER, SAVED, HELP. When we say God is my salvation, we literally proclaiming and confessing tha GOD IS MY HELP, GOD IS MY DELIVERER, GOD IS MY SAVIOR. Now the name of JESUS means God is my salvation, my Savior. The is such a peace and joy in our heart because we can put all our trust and hope in Him. You will not be shaken by the tricks and ways of the devil when you know where your trust and hope is.

Here in this verse, it says the Lord is my strength and my song. We can be 101% sure of this because God cannot lie on His own word. In your weakest moment, through the darkest moment, through the sorrow and the pain, He strengthens us and out our heart comes a song of praise unto God. Today, I'm not interested to know what your situation is, what kind of difficulties you are going through. What I'm interested to know is, DO YOU KNOW WHO YOUR GOD IS AND FROM WHERE YOUR HELP COMES FROM? People who closely walks with God will know Him better and deeper and they can stand firmly on His word and promises, because they know who their God is and what He is capable of doing. It takes a leap of faith. Determination to take the first step,  produces faith to trust God and see His miracles.

And I will hope in Him...!

Isaiah 8:12, 17 NKJV

“Do not say, ‘A conspiracy,’ Concerning all that this people call a conspiracy, Nor be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled. And I will wait on the Lord , Who hides His face from the house of Jacob; And I will hope in Him.

******
Shalom! Day #172. Do you know that even though troubles and problems comes your way, those who hope in the Lord shall receive a renewed strength? Let's pray. Father, no matter what happens, we will wait upon You and put all our hope and trust in You. Give us a renewed hope and strength as we continue to trust in You.  In Jesus name we ask and pray,  amen!

Nor be afraid...  Never be afraid of any kind of threats or any kind of deceitful ways of the devil or even people around you.  People may try to conspire against you, but hey, DO NOT WORRY, God is able to bring confusion into the enemies camp for those who trust and hope in Him. Isaiah 40:31 says those who wait upon the Lord shall have a renewed strength.  Not just strength but, renewed hope, renewed faith. They will experience Extraordinary divine intervention of God.  Waiting time is never a wasted time.

What will you do if God remained silent or hide His face from you when you sought His help, intervention and guidance?  Will you turn away from God and find another alternative ways or remained steadfast and trust God? Miracles happens for those whose trust is the Lord and hope is the Lord. Never be shaken by circumstances, situations conditions. And I will hope in Him...

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Whom shall I send...?

Isaiah 6:8 NKJV

Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.”

******
Shalom! Day #171. Do you know that the Spirit of God searchers throughout the earth for a person who will willingly say HERE I AM LORD, SEND ME? Let's pray. Father, enable us to say Here I am Lord,  send me when You call. Putting our total trust in You as we heed Your calling to do Your will. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Whom shall I send? The question is simple. Are willing to say HINENI (Hebrew word meaning - yes, here i am Your bond servant, i will do anything You say, not because of being forced, but becuse of love.) The heart of willing to do the work of God. Not many dare to say HINENI when God calls but those who heed the Voice of God, the calling, they begin to experience many new things in their life as they allow God to use them. If we read Matthew the 28 chapter,  Jesus commanded NOT only His disciples,  but to every believers TO GO. God is looking for that one man and woman who is willing to go. We may say that we have the desire to go all around the world to preach and win souls, but when God calls many with such desires failed to answer that call.

The heart of willingness is a heart that's ready to sacrifice for the cause of Gospel and His calling. Many are called but few are chosen. God will not ask us to do the things which we are not able. He always prepares us and enables us to do the extraordinary things. In Ephesians 2:10 NKJV Paul says that "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them." God created us to do good works in which He prepared us beforehand. When God asked who shall I send, who will go for Us, Jesus answered,  I will go for Us, I will restore mankind,  I will be the bridge between them and Us. Jesus came for us, are we not willing to go for Him? Again, the simple question “Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?”

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

God is expecting us to bear good fruits...!

Isaiah 5:4-5 NKJV

What more could have been done to My vineyard That I have not done in it? Why then, when I expected it to bring forth good grapes, Did it bring forth wild grapes? And now, please let Me tell you what I will do to My vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it shall be burned; And break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down.

******
Shalom! Day #170. Do you know that we are God's vineyard and in that vineyard got good and wild grapes? Let's pray. Father, help us to bear good fruits as we plough Your vineyard. Help us to produce good fruits as we live before You, according to Your will and Your plans. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

John 15:5-8, 16 NKJV

“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.  If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.  If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.  By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples. You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.

He has chosen and appointed us to go and bear fruits. In this same passage of the scripture, Jesus says that He is the Vinedresser and we are the vineyard. As we allow Him to cut and throw and burn those branches in us that's not bearing fruit,  we will begin to see a spiritual growth taking place in  us. God expecting us to bear good fruits not bad fruits. Those who doesn't abide in Him are the ones who bear wild grapes, bad fruits.

The only thing the Vineyard dresser will do is taking away the hedge and tearing down the walls of the bad grapes, trample on it. Now the bad grapes here, I can say they are the ones who become bad influence, producing bad fruits and so on. This kind of people God will utterly cut them off. So, come beloved brothers and sisters in Christ,  let us be a good vineyard bearing good fruits and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in Jesus name He may give you.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Learn to do good...!

Isaiah 1:16-17, 19 NKJV

“Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes. Cease to do evil, Learn to do good; Seek justice, Rebuke the oppressor; Defend the fatherless, Plead for the widow. If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat the good of the land;

******
Shalom! Day #169. Do you know that each of you has a calling to be fulfilled? Let's pray. Father, as we come before You today, help us to fulfill the calling that You have placed in our lives for today as we turn from our wicked ways and begin to do Your will. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

The redemption process of God is for one sole purpose that is to bring us into a relationship with Him and begin to do His will. Cease to do evil and learn to do good. We are called for this purpose, to seek justice,  to rebuke the oppressor, to defend the fatherless and to plead for the widow. This is the calling that God has placed in us. And whatever ministry we do, make sure that it fulfills this 4 areas. Because the ultimate plan of redemption is to save souls, bring into a relationship with God.

If you are willing and obedient,  you shall eat he good of the land. If you are willing amd obedient to do this, therefore God will cause all the good, the favor, the blessings will just flow and flood your life.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

A man is all about His promises...!

Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 NKJV

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is man’s all. For God will bring every work into judgment, Including every secret thing, Whether good or evil.

******
Shalom! Day #168. Do you know that those who do good and those who do evil even in the secret, will receive their rewards? Let's pray. Father, we pray today that the Holy Spirit will constantly remind us of Your ways and commandments and to do it, for we know that every good and bad we do, there is a reward and judgement awaits us. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

A life journey of a believer is all about living according to His ways, His will, His plans and purposes and His promises. If a man live according to God's ways, he or she will have her reward in due time as well as those who neglect the ways of God and does evil shall receive their punishment. What we sow, is what we get in return. If we sow tomato seeds, we will not reap orange fruit. Even you do good in secret, man doesn't see it, but God sees and shall reward you accordingly. Everything done in secret will be exposed. Good or evil.

Fear God means to revere God. Fear not in sense of because God is a monster or what, no. It means to respect, to honor, to revere and live according to all the Lord has prepared for us. If we are living accordingly, well then we will receive His rewards. If we neglect His ways and doing evil things then we will pay the price for everything we did. Without oxygen we cannot live, without knowing God and His purposes, plans and promises for our life, we are going no where.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Don't be like the blunted ax...!

Ecclesiastes 10:10 NKJV

If the ax is dull, And one does not sharpen the edge, Then he must use more strength; But wisdom brings success.

******
Shalom! Day #167. Do you know that God gives us wisdom to use it and not just to keep it? Let's pray. Father, we thank You for the abundance of wisdom You have given to us. Holy Spirit help us to use it wisely. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Sometime or shall I say most of the time wearer like the dull ax trying to bring down a tree. We already know that the ax is blunt, yet we still use it to chop the tree down. At this point we sweat, we put too much of strength, too much of effort. When it can be done easily, we choose the hard way. We got 2 choices here. Either we sharpen the edge of the ax, or change the ax, use a chainsaw!!! It's time to change, people. God wants us to have a good life, not a life filled with struggles. Yet, we sometimes choose to struggle.

Wisdom brings success. If we are lack of wisdom today, ask God. Let God fill us with wisdom daily. A fresh wisdom directfrom God to us. The Spirit of wisdom is given to us to help us In our daily life. So, if you are still struggling today, ask God to give you wisdom and begin to see the way wisdom sees and do things.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end. I know that whatever God does, It shall be forever. Nothing can be added to it, And nothing taken from it. God does it, that men should fear before Him.

******
Shalom! Day #166. Do you know that whatever God has begun in your life, the works are made perfect according to His time and it last forever? Let's pray. Father, as we come before Your throne today, we commit our lives to the works of Your hands. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Do you know what is the promises of God for your life? What is the promises that God has given to you concerning your lives, ministry, family and work? The promises of God began at Genesis and it didn't end at Revelation, it is still actively impacting lives, it is still setting the trajectory of our lives to this day. Many people asking what I will become in future. Let me answer you. What you become is depends to what God has promised to you concerning your life and are we walking towards achieving it. For example, God's promises for my life is I SHALL BE A VESSEL OF HIS GLORY. I AM CALLED TO THE NATIVES, TO SERVE THEM. It did not happen overnight. It took time, almost 8 years. In that time period, God begins His preparation process in my life and on His appointed time, He made it to come to past, beautiful in His time. Have you acquired His promises for your life, ministry, family?

I know that whatever God does, It shall be forever. Nothing can be added to it, And nothing taken from it. God does it, that men should fear before Him. Whatever the works God is doing in your life today, do not give up, for He is the one who called you and have started a good work in you and He shall accomplished it. Be patient. Again, it will not happen overnight, it takes time, and you will see when that day comes, God made it beautiful! His promises last forever! He has an eternal plan for your life. Have you got your promises today?

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

And the Lord restored....!

Job 42:10 NKJV

And the Lord restored Job’s losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.

******
Shalom! Day #165. Do you know that every losses has a restoration plan and when it is restored, God make sure that it is restored exceedingly abundantly? Let's pray. Father, as we go through this life You have given, restore us as we open up our hearts to You, heal us as we yield ourselves to You. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

And the Lord restored... Restoration and Healing takes place in our lives when we are OPEN or TRANSPARENT before God. When the Lord begins His restoration process, He will literally restore exceedingly abundantly. Sometimes or most of the time we think everything is going on smoothly, until and unless we take time to look into the details of our lives, then we would understand the need of restoration and healing. Restoration and healing happens when we humble before the Lord, not questioning or reasoning with God but humbly come before Him in need to help to be restored and healed.

In your brokenness you will see His awesomeness! when we are shattered and broken before the Lord, that's the time He begins to remove, repair, redesign, recreates you in5o the new person He wanted you to be. Again I'm stressing here the need to be restored and healed. Take your chance today while you have the time. Do not let the grace period of God expires and then God Himself had to step in teach us a lesson...a hard lesson. Stubbornness, ego, a heart that cannot take correction, a heart that doesn't want to be restored and healed, a heart that thinks only his or her ways are right, this are the things that would hinders us from being restored and healed. So what are you doing about it!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Breathe in me oh breath of God...!

Job 32:8-9 NKJV

But there  is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding. Great men are not always wise, Nor do the aged always understand justice.

******
Shalom! Day #164. Do you know that when the Spirit of the Lord is upon us, we will see visions, prophesy, we will have wisdom and understanding? Let's pray. Father, fill us with Your Spirit, empower us with Your Spirit, give us wisdom, knowledge and understanding. In Jesus name we pray, amen!

Without the breath of God we are just dust. In every man there is a spirit, inorder for that spirit to come alive we need the breath of God to breathe into us. In old testament, the word "rhua" is translated into the Spirit or Wind or Breathe of God.

The breath of God gives life. God formed Adam from dust and gave him life as He breathe into him. The breath of God gives life and enable is to breathe, move. The Spirit of God breathe into our bones, marrow, nerves and every cells of our body enabling us to move and be alive. If we are spiritually dead today, we need the breath of God to revive us once again.

The breath of God gives power. In Acts 1:8 NKJV it says that "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” The breath of God gives power and not only that, it enable us to become a witness.

The breath of God gives us wisdom, knowledge and understanding. James 1:5 says, "if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God." Proverbs 2:6 says, "for the Lord gives wisdom, from His mouth come knowledge and understanding. We cannot rely upon the worldly wisdom because it leads to destruction. Godly wisdom gives us keeps us from doin the wrong things.

To sum up this, again, if we are spiritually dead, there is still hope to be revived by the breath of God. But if we are physically dead, it's too late to be revived. Physical death - once gone it may not return. Joel 2 says that in the last days that God will pour out His Spirit on all flesh. Now is the time of the outpouring of His unlimited Spirit. Now is the time for you to come alive once again! Catch the Spirit of God, be filled with the Spirit of God!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

God knows everything about you...!

Job 23:10-12 NKJV

But He knows the way that I take; When  He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold. My foot has held fast to His steps; I have kept His way and not turned aside. I have not departed from the commandment of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth More than my necessary food.

******
Shalom! Day #163. Do you know that God knows every minor and major things about you, about the things you do, you speak, you see, you hear, you touch and you taste? Let's pray. Father, forgive us if we have not pleased You in all of our ways, in deeds and in speech, in actions and attitudes. In Jesus name we pray, amen!

But He knows. The bible says that He knew us even before we were formed in our mothers womb. He knows when we fall. He knows when we rise. He knows when we sin. He knows when we repent wholeheartedly. Something I would like to share about me. When the world looked at me as a defect, yet He made me perfect. In my destruction, I see His perfection. When I was left to desolate, His love populates me. When I was in disgrace, I see His grace. He knows everything about me. From dust He created me into His image. From my weakness He made me into His perfection. He took me, cleansed me, purified me, refines me in the refiners fire and becomes precious gold in His eyes. In all I have gone through I have kept my faith in Him, I have kept His ways and did not turn aside.

How about you today? People may not appreciate you, but God knows how much efforts you have put in and He appreciates you. You are precious to Him. Remain strong when He tests you, because He wants to bring the gold out of you. In all the trials and testing you go through, make sure you hold on yo His ways and do not turn aside. Finally He wants to make you feel His love, therefore stay connected to Him. Read, meditate, do, pray, worship.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Be connected with God...!

Job 22:21-23 NKJV

“Now acquaint yourself with Him, and be at peace; Thereby good will come to you. Receive, please, instruction from His mouth, And lay up His words in your heart. If you return to the Almighty, you will be built up; You will remove iniquity far from your tents.

******
Shalom! Day #162. Do you know that when we live according to His ways, we will have a good life?  Let's pray. Father, we thank You for this day. Help us to live according to Your words, being built on the firm foundation of Your word. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Being acquainted with God is the first thing that we must do as a believer. To know Him and His word. To have an intimate relationship with Him and feel His heartbeat. To cultivate the desires and the will of God in our lives. Thereby good will come to you. All the good things that God has instore for you comes when we submit ourselves fully to His word, His instructions, His will . Israel wandered in the wilderness for forty years because they rebelled against the Word of God, the instructions of God and they did not prosper. When God speaks, be sensitive to listen, be quick to act upon it.

Psalms 1:2-3 NKJV

But his delight is in the law of the Lord , And in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper.

" And lay up His words in your heart. If you return to the Almighty, you will be built up." Let the Word of God be the basement of your heart and let the Word Himself begin to build you up. When the The Word Himself begin to build you, you will be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper. The only way to be build up on His word is only through reading, meditating, doing and living according to what His word has to say concerning your lives.

Though He slay me...yet I will trust...!

Job 13:15-16 NKJV

Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him. Even so, I will defend my own ways before Him. He also shall be my salvation, For a hypocrite could not come before Him.

******
Shalom! Day #161. Do you know that a heart that's loyal to God is a heart that would trust God no matter what the situation is, what the trials are, what kind of discipline they go through? Let's pray. Father, give us a heart that's loyal to You,  that would trust You in every events of our lives.  In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Though God slays you will you continue to trust Him? Slay in sense the trials we go through, the disciplines we go through. When God begins to break you and remake you are we able to still be loyal and trust Him? The breaking process is the remaking of a new person. Here in this verse, Job says that he will trust God no matter what the situation he is because he knows that God has a great plan for Him. How about you?

Do not let anything to take away your trust in God. Let not anything divert your focus away from God because that's what will keep us going on.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Pure and upright...!

Job 8:6-7 NKJV

If you were pure and upright, Surely now He would awake for you, And prosper your rightful dwelling place. Though your beginning was small, Yet your latter end would increase abundantly.

******
Shalom! Day #160. Do you know that blessing and prosperity and a rightful dwelling place comes when we are pure and upright before God? Let's pray. Father, we come before you this day. Forgive us for not being transparent before you and not living a righteous life. Father forgive us. Holy Spirit help us to be pure and upright before You. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

If you are pure and upright before the Lord is the key to see His hand upon our lives. You can witness a few things taking place as we live a pure and righteous life before God. The first this is that God's hand will be upon your lives and He would awake for you. If you are being attacked by every corner of your lives, the Lord will vindicate you, He fights for you. Secondly, your family, your dwelling place, your work, ministry, your life - He prospers. He make sures that you be blessed if we live a pure and upright life before Him. Being pure and upright means, it involves everything we do. Either in our work, our life, family or ministry. For example, if a policeman stops us and he wants to issue a ticket for speeding, so what do we do? Bribe him or pay the penalty? Being pure and upright before God requires a clean living and a right heart. You can bribe a police man, but you cannot bribe God to be good with you. Actually bribing a policeman shows what kind of a Christian we are. So stop bribing and pay the penalty!

Even you may have a big dream in your life, but you don't know to make it come true, so in order to make it happen, there is two ways, one the hardwork way the other the shortcut. Though your dream is big and you have begin with a right attitude let later in the end you would increase abundantly. Do the things the right way and not it crooked ways.

Let go. Let God....!

Job 5:8-9 NKJV

“But as for me, I would seek God, And to God I would commit my cause— Who does great things, and unsearchable, Marvelous things without number."

******
Shalom! Day #159. Do you know that most of the believers like to handle or do things according to their ways but when things go wrong, then only they want to seek God and His guidance? Let's pray. Father, forgive for not seeking Your counsel first in anything we do. Holy Spirit help us not to lean on our own understanding. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

The proverbs says, lean not on your own understanding but In every ways acknowledge the Lord. Do we seek the counsel of God or even commit to Him the things we want to do? In this verse we read that not only on committing the things we want to do, but committing to God whatever things pertaining to our life into His hands. Do not feel bad if things have gone the way they are not suppose to be. God takes your disappointments and changes it into divine appointments. What happens when you allow God to take control of whatever situation you are goin through? Well, He does great things, extraordinary miracles, marvelous works of God will be demonstrated. It's no longer you, but God does His things.

Many of us doubt God. We doubt whether can God do, and therefore we tend to do it ourselves because we think God isn't able to do anything. Let me tell you one secret. When we allow God to be the Lord of our lives, be in control of our lives, our work, upon our family, our ministry, hence therefore you will see the power of God in everything you do. You will see the favor of God upon you life, ministry, family, work and studies. With all your heart prayerfully commit our lives into the Masters hand and begin to see His master plan taking place in your life. Nothing happens as a coincidence, everything happens for a reason. Everything works for good for those who have called by God and those who love Him. Let go and let God...! He is able!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Come awake oh my soul....!

Job 4:3-5 NKJV

Surely you have instructed many, And you have strengthened weak hands. Your words have upheld him who was stumbling, And you have strengthened the feeble knees; But now it comes upon you, and you are weary; It touches you, and you are troubled.

******
Shalom! Day #158. Do you know that many at times are good in encouraging the broken hearted, giving them courage to move on, giving them fruitful advices, yet when we ourselves go through hard times we begin to shake and troubled? Father, thank You for this day You have created and given it to us. As we walk this day, let Your Living Word be the basement where we stand on firmly and Your love we cling on to. Let Your Holy Spirit be our Comforter and Encourager today. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

King David, a very good example to this verse. We can see in the book of psalms how king David reacted whenever enemies is after him. He encourages himself. You can find such phrases as REVIVE ME, RESTORE ME, I WILL DELIGHT and many more in the psalms. King David lead by example. Whenever he encountered problems and troubles, he did not sit at a corner and feel pity for himself by putting up a pity party, but he rises up to the challenges by encouraging himself from the Living Word of God for the Word of God gives hope. We as humans always slack in this area, but hey king David is a human as well. We are good in encouraging others but when it has befallen on us we tend to seek attention, putting up a pity party - oh why me, oh how me, oh help me, cannot me.

Now in this chapter and the previous chapter we read about what Job did. He did not open his mouth to curse God, but he begin to curse the day of his birth - pity party. Sitting at a corner and cry me a river. Pondering upon what has happen and seeking attention from others, but when others try  help, encouraged and so on, we like -  oh I have no strength to rise up blah blah blah... Again are we able to rise up to the challenges when troubles and problems comes by our way? Yes we can! But how? It's easy. You must realize the POWER OF THE WORD OF GOD and USE IT TO ENCOURAGE YOURSELF, TO BE REVIVED ONCE AGAIN. Only the truth of the word of God will be able to set you and I free. You have to agree to the Word of God in order to live by It, being raised up again by the power of the word Of God. The word of God is the 100% sure, firm prophecy for your life. It is Living word, and sharper than any two edged sword. Use it wisely.

Matthew 11:28-30 NKJV

Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

Stop blaming God. Start giving thanks...!

Job 2:9-10 NKJV

Then his wife said to him, “Do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse God and die!” But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?” In all this Job did not sin with his lips.

******
Shalom! Day #157. Do you know that whenever we encounter problem, the first question we always ask is "WHY GOD, WHY ME?" Let's pray. Father, forgive us for everytime questioning You whenever we encounter problem or troubles. We know everything works for good. Help us to see the big picture You have for us. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

There is one good point here that Job is showing us. His attitude towards the testings he went through defines his altitude and his character towards God. People or shall I say the church always look up to servants of God for encouragement and so on. They study the life of the servants of God. They see how does the servants of God go through hard time. Do they blame it on God and leave the ministry, or they take it as a challenge and go through it? In this verse, Job pointed out one good point. While he was in distress condition, things around him are failing, he lost his property, his families, his livestock and even fall sick, yet he did not open up his mouth to curse God or ask God, "Why God why?" His wife said, “Do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse God and die!” Such a discouraging word, yet Job, remain steadfast and he did not deny God or blame God for what he was going through.

In this passage, what I have learned is to GIVE THANKS NO MATTER WHAT YOUR SITUATION IS. And we can see what Job replied to his wife But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?” People are happy and they even give thanks when God blesses them, when they get promotion, when things all going smoothly but then when things go wrong they began to question God WHY GOD? Quoting from what Job replied to his wife " Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?" Even in the darkest hour, through the sorrows and the pain... I will sing, I will praise, lift voice to honor You for Your word is true. Amen.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Be alert...

Job 1:6-12 NKJV

Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord , and Satan also came among them. And the Lord said to Satan, “From where do you come?” So Satan answered the Lord and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it.” Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job, that there  is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?” So Satan answered the Lord and said, “Does Job fear God for nothing? Have You not made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. But now, stretch out Your hand and touch all that he has, and he will surely curse You to Your face!” And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your power; only do not lay a hand on his person. ” So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord .

******
Shalom! Day #156. Do you know that Satan is always looking for an opportunity to attack us? Let's pray. Father, we pray that lead us not into temptations but deliver us from the evil one. In Jesus name we pray, amen!

Now, we must understand one thing very clearly. God won't tempt us, but devil does. God only test us. As far as I know, only two person the devil tempt with the permission of God. One is Job and another is Peter. In James 1:2-3, 12-13 NKJV My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. Job endured the temptations of the devil. Job a God fearing man, approved by God Himself. I can say here that the devil will always try to attack the servants of God and those who are faithfull to God. The devil doesn't even bothered about those who lukewarm. The bible say in 1 Peter 5:8 be sober, be vigilant because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. If we give him an inch space of our lives to the devil, that's it, he will come to steal, kill and destroy everything we have. Therefore be on your guard for you do not know when and how the devil will attack you.

When you are connected to God 24/7, you are sensitive to His leading and His voice, then the devil will not be able to tempt you. But if you are living out of His presence, well then we are vulnerable to the attacks of the devil. God is our sun and shield, when we are in His presence. What connects us to God? PRAYER & PRAISE, read and meditate on His promises.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

How can I endure seeing...

Esther 8:6 NKJV

For how can I endure to see the evil that will come to my people? Or how can I endure to see the destruction of my countrymen?”

******
Shalom! Day #155. Do you know that you have a destiny and a calling to be fulfilled? Let's pray. Father, open up our eyes to see Your will and Your plans for our lives as we step into our destiny in fulfilling our calling and doing Your will. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

For everyone who has been called of God has a purposed to be fulfilled. A will that needs to be accomplished. There is a silent cry everywhere and we aren't able to hear it. It's because we are living in a neglected world. Where people are just trying to satisfy their own desires. Striving for their own dreams. There are shattered dreams everywhere. People are so selfish. They don't bother of who is alive and who is dead. Where are the concerned hearts? Where are the prayers of the saints? Where is the cry for souls? What have we become? For how can I endure to see the evil that will come to my people? The Lord is searching for a man and a woman who will say yes to His call to stand for this generation, to fight the good fight, to relinquish the people from evil. To make known the good news of Salvation and Redemption to humankind. Are you the man or the woman that God is looking for? You are called to be a beacon to your people, your nation. Change only happens when you are willing to take heed to the call of God and allow change to take place within you. I'm not talking about physical change, but spiritual change!

Everywhere, here and there we hear the news about our own people are oppressed by rulers of this world. What are we doing? I'm not saying that we must rebel against them. But you can pray and not just pray, but to reach out to them as well in educating them about the truth of the life giving God, our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ! A generation is destroyed without knowing the truth of the word of God! Are you willing to be God's spokesmen? Pray and ask got to give you the desires of His heart. And start doing something about it.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

He is able to change a curse into a blessing...!

Esther 6:6, 10 NKJV

So Haman came in, and the king asked him, “What shall be done for the man whom the king delights to honor?” Now Haman thought in his heart, “Whom would the king delight to honor more than me?” Then the king said to Haman, “Hurry, take the robe and the horse, as you have suggested, and do so for Mordecai the Jew who sits within the king’s gate! Leave nothing undone of all that you have spoken.”

******
Shalom! Day #154. Do you know that people may meant harm or curse on you but God is able to turn that curse into a blessing? Let's pray. Father, thank You for Your cares towards us. We Thank You for preserving our life and spirit. We thank You for when people meant curse on us, You change it into a blessing for us. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

So this man, Haman, he plotted against Mordecai. And he wanted Mordecai to be put to death. Because Mordecai did not pay respect and homage to Haman. Now, when Haman had finished his planning on how to bring death to Mordecai, and as he went to meet with the king, then the king asked Haman, “What shall be done for the man whom the king delights to honor?” This Haman thought it was for him and he began to give an extraordinary ideas to the king. Now, here I believe something divine took place. See, Haman sought to kill Mordecai, but God intervened and change everything. Well today if you are in the same situation, not as Haman, but as Mordecai, do not lose hope and trust in God. He will and able to change a curse into a blessing! Oh yes, even as I write this, God is showing to me a few of you who reads this blog, are going through a similar situation as Mordecai. People are trying to persecute you, people are trying to take advantage of you, sometimes you feel like another person gets the good name and credits for the works you do, people are trying to harm you, but hey, MY GOD IS STRONG AND MIGHTY AND HE IS ABLE TO PERFORM A MIRACLE, NEVER TOO EARLY NEVER TOO LATE. HE IS ABLE TO CHANGE A CURSE INTO A BLESSING!

Then the king said to Haman, “Hurry, take the robe and the horse, as you have suggested, and do so for Mordecai the Jew who sits within the king’s gate! Leave nothing undone of all that you have spoken.” It's just a matter of time. You see, what made the king to do this honor for Mordecai is not because Haman gave the extravagant idea, but because of Mordecai himself. Mordecai can be always found sitting at the king's gate. We should be like Mordecai, wait at the gates of the King of kings! What I meant is the faithfulness which Mordecai showed in waiting at the kings gate daily caused him a fortune of blessing. Faithfully trust and believe in God. Put all your hope in God even the situation doesn't make a sense at all. JUST TRUST GOD! He is able! So are you going through such situation today? Remain faithful, God will surely answer you. He is able to change the curses into blessings. Pray and believe God!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

Oh that unexplained exceeding Joy of the Lord...!

Nehemiah 12:43 NKJV

Also that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced, for God had made them rejoice with great joy; the women and the children also rejoiced, so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard afar off.

******
Shalom! Day #153. Do you know that we always have a reason to to rejoice and give thanks to God? Let's pray. Father, let our lips shouts Your praises. Let our life wholly to shine forth Your glory. Let our praises declares Your faithfulness, goodness and Your love. Because Your favor last forever. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Great sacrifices was offered. Do you have a reason to bring your sacrifices before God? A sacrifice that would say and declare of His praises? Oh yes, I have a 'reason to Praise God everyday, because of His favor and His grace in my life, now I live to shine for Him!!! They rejoiced greatly because God made them rejoiced!!! Wow. The Lord Himself made them glad, made them filled with great joy, exceeding joy! Have you ever be filled with that kind of an exceeding joy? You will literally go crazy in the joy of the Lord.

When you are filled with the joy of the Lord, the people around will recognized it. They even would ask you, "how come you can feel such joy in your heart when the things around are failing, troubles, problems, yet there is an unexplainable joy in your heart, how?" The joy of the Lord explains it all. Let the unexplained joy of God be with us even when the ocean rises even when the thunder storms. Amen!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!

A cup-bearer to a governor...!

Nehemiah 6:15-16 NKJV

So the wall was finished on the twenty-fifth day of Elul, in fifty-two days. And it happened, when all our enemies heard of  it, and all the nations around us saw these  things, that they were very disheartened in their own eyes; for they perceived that this work was done by our God.

Shalom! Day #152. Do you know that when the favor of God is upon you when you are doing something for the Lord and at the same time people may come against you? Let's pray. Father, we come before you today as we live in your favor, give us the strength to accomplish the works that you want us to finish and let us not falter at any point because the threat of the enemies. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Nehemiah, from a cup-bearer to a builder to a governor. There is still no one such as Nehemiah who can complete the building of a city's wall in 52 days. Nehemiah, filled with passion, zeal and anguish in his heart to see his homeland be restored. Although the enemies tried to stop him from building the walls, yet he pursued. Why he was able to build it in 52 days? Because the Hand of God was upon him. Because the favor of God was upon him. He left as a cup-bearer, and he began to built the walls as a cup-bearer. At this point he is still a cup-bearer. It doesn't matter who you are, what you are, what's your status is. It doesn't matter whether you have doctorates statuses or wealthy man or poor man, God is ONLY LOOKING FOR THOSE HEARTS WHO IS WILLING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE! The prayers of Nehemiah caught the heart of God and God took him as he is and use him to accomplish the work! Are you willing to do His works without looking at your circumstances?

Nehemiah was a leader by example. He leads the people by example. Many bosses will just tell you what to do but the bosses will not do it. A leader will show how it is done. Which means he will do, educate the followers on the things that needs to be done. A boss will say "you do" but a leader will say "let's do it together." Again, why Nehemiah was able to unite the people and to just focused on one thing, the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem? Because the Hand of God was upon him. God's favor was upon him. There will always be opposition from people. They will try their best to stop you, but if your focus is fully upon God and faithfully doing the things God has put in your heart, I tell you, no matter how big the threat is, you will still prospers and accomplish it. Single hearted, Single minded. Be faithful. Do not falter. Be bold to make a difference. Be willing to be used by God. Be faithful and do it with all your heart for promotion comes from the Lord.

And it happened, when all our enemies heard of  it, and all the nations around us saw these  things, that they were very disheartened in their own eyes; for they perceived that this work was done by our God.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
