People don’t determine your destiny. They cannot stop the calling on your life. They may look bigger, more powerful, more influential. Don’t go by what you see; go by what God says. He says, "You’re more than a conqueror." He says, "The trap the enemies set for you, they will fall in themselves.”
Paul said in 2 Timothy, “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love and of a sound mind.” A sound mind is a positive mind, a hopeful mind. It’s a mind that’s at peace, a mind that knows God is in control, that He’s ordering your steps.
In the Scripture, rain is symbolic of God’s favor, His goodness and blessing. Sometimes we find ourselves in a dry season, not getting any good breaks, dealing with these problems. The good news is you can create an atmosphere for rain in your life. When you send praises up, you create an atmosphere for God to work.
Sometimes the fire is the pathway to our destiny. There are two kinds of faith: delivering faith and sustaining faith. Delivering faith is when God instantly turns it around. Sustaining faith is when God takes you through the fire.
God's greatest blessings aren't the things He gives us, they're the things He protects us from. We’re grateful for the doors He closed just as much as the ones He opened.
The odds are against you, but you don’t stop believing. You don’t see a way, but you keep thanking God that He has a way. People tell you that it’s not going to happen. Let that go in one ear and out the other. You know what God started He’s going to finish.
Life has a way of changing us. At one time, we were outgoing, excited about our dreams, grateful for our family. Then life happens. We look up and wonder where that other person went. The real you is still there: the joyful, passionate, confident you, victorious you.
As we lay down to sleep, fill our heart with Your peace and quiet every fear within us. Forgive our shortcomings, renew our strength, and watch over our families and loved ones throughout the night. Let Your angels surround us, and may we wake up tomorrow with grateful hearts, ready to walk in Your purpose In Jesus' name, Amen. 🙏
Some people can’t handle the blessing on your life. Don’t let it bother you. It’s not you that’s offending them; it’s the blessing on your life. It’s what God put on you. You can’t stop that, and the good news is, they can’t stop it. You stay in peace and God will take care of the opposition.
Those enemies will become your footstools. You will walk on what tried to hold you back. It’s because the blessing on your life makes you unstoppable. Yes, people will do you wrong, but God will make it right. Yes, they’ll try to push you down, but God will lift you up.
Ananias and Sapphira lied once and dropped dead on the spot.
Meanwhile God is still extending mercy to us after everything.
Do not take this grace for granted.😭🙏🏾
The Scripture says, “Never avenge yourself, but leave the matter in the hands of God.” God knows how to vindicate you. You don’t have to force these things to happen, prove to people, get even, change their mind. No, stay in peace. Keep doing the right thing.
The blessing attracts trouble. Favor attracts criticism. Promotion attracts jealousy. New levels attract new devils. Here’s the key: don’t take it personally. It’s not you they don’t like; it’s the favor on your life. Some people can’t handle you being blessed.
The God who asks you to do difficult things is the same God who goes before you and makes the crooked places straight. If you play it safe and think, “I can’t do it. The dream is too great; the opposition too strong.” Then it will be too hard. If you don’t take the risk, you’ll never see God step in and make it easier than you thought.
When the battle is all around you, thoughts are telling you to panic, circumstances could have you worried and afraid, that’s when you have to take charge and quiet your soul. The Scripture says, “Be still and know that He is God.”
Put God in remembrance of what He promised, not what you feel like, not what you deserve, not what a relative said, but what God said. Psalm 86 says, “God is full of kindness, great in mercy, the Lord is good to all.”
