Thanksgiving II

Psalms 26:7 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

Many things that cause people despair is because they focus on themselves. When trouble hits, they look for the fault in themselves which worsens the situation. 

Life can throw a number of things which are aimed at causing us to despair, become desperate, lose hope, bitter, murmur and complain. Being thankful enables us to stay focused,keep joyful and not lose our confidence because of such disappointments. A once happy vibrant, expectant believer can easily fall into depression and anger because that is the enemy's work to weaken us. But thanksgiving keeps us alive, hopeful and interested in the things of God everyday.

Get attention off yourself and your problems and raise your voice in thanking God. Focus on who God is and thank Him for that. God has created the world we see and many things we cannot see. Thank God everyday for the beauty of creation because it was the best He gave man (you and I) before his (our) appearance on earth. God created everything and on the last day made man to enjoy it. Man could not come any time earlier because the world would not be habitable and comfortable for him. So God made it good enough for him to abide in it. Thank God for the birds, the good weather, the climate etc. This helps to guard your heart against despair.

Of all things to thank God for is the fact that He loves you. He loves you unconditionally and affectionately. His love for you is not according to your performance, hallelujah.

Hebrews 10:35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.

Justified by faith

Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: God has made us right with Himself. This is extremely good news because we could not measure up to His standard of righteousness portrayed by the law.  Most religions including some who profess Christianity advocate for a "do right and be right with God" kind of relating with God. This puts the burden of salvation upon the performance of the adherents to such religions. On the other hand true Bible faith, says believe right and then be made right with God independent of your actions. All this is because of God's goodness who wants all to be saved whether they have any previous morally good life or not. If you really get a revelation of this you would burst for joy and rejoice in what God has made you instead of what you can do for Him, hallelujah! It all starts with faith. If you believe you are justified or are forever made just before him, it affects your life in a certa...

When a heart(soul) heals

Many hearts are wounded, broken, sick, depressed, bleeding but when the heart of a man heals, they start to live again. That man starts to blossom, to dream again, to shine brighter and to love again. Psalm 34:18, But the Lord is close to the broken hearts, to the wounded, frustrated ones, He is always there. Surprisingly many people are broken hearted and they don't know what to do. Because of the failure they have experienced before, they face shame and as a result they choose to hide themselves. Some end up committing suicide since they feel hopeless and their dreams beyond reach.  If you happen to be in this situation first and foremost you need to forgive yourself, release that anger and let go of the past. Secondly you need revelation of your identity in Christ. If you aren't born again, you need to first surrender to Jesus as Lord. God is more willing to heal your heart(soul) and your story than you do. All He needs is our consent and cooperation. Let go and let God.  T...

A year of good things

Image
Matthew 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? Years represent new seasons. Every season God has a specific word for us His children that we need to run with. When we run the year based on that Word, our results will be evident. In this season as the Streams of life and Nations churches God gave us a word through our Father Bishop Gerald Mwebe that we are going to have good things.  Last year 2025, was a year of great grace. This year God prophetically is giving us good things. One of the good things He has already given us is the gospel. The gospel is the message we preach and live by. We need to realise as believers that we have a message which will touch lives not only in this world but for eternity. The gospel is not only for non believers but for nonbelievers also. Many believers all they hear are the curses that follow them from the past generations....
