<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">What is temptation? Temptation is anything that makes you go
on your own way and leave the way of God. Temptation is an enticement that
makes us go beyond Godly bounds. It is an enticement to disobey God.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> "1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has
overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will
not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the
temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to
endure it" The bible says <b>No temptation has overtaken you but such
as is common to man</b> meaning that the temptation that you face is not
new or special. Everybody is being tempted in many different ways.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> God is not the source of our temptation but the
devil. The devil will tempt you in an area that he knows you will <b><u>be
easily </u></b>tempted and he shows you clearly the benefits of the
temptation. When the devil tempted Jesus he presented Him with some benefits.
Look what the devil told Eve.....;Genesis 3: 4 but the serpent said to the
woman, <b>“You will not surely die. 5 For God knows that when
you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good
and evil.” </b>6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for
food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired
to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave
some to her husband who was with her, and he ate.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> Don’t forget that temptations come with benefits but
the consequences are bigger! Many people want to talk about what they will
gain but they never talk about the consequences. Don’t be fooled by what you
will gain, how it will make you look good but rather pay attention to the
consequence.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> One major source of temptation is a thought, leading
to imagination, a desire and a will, which stays in our heart leading us to
making a choice. Let me explain that…. Like you think about what it would be
like if I do this, then you start imagining what it would be like, then it
enters in your heart and you actually do it. You have to be wise and stop it at
the beginning stage of a thought because when it goes through imagination, and
your will and your heart then you act upon it then it becomes like fire that
cannot be easily stopped.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> Something that I learned about temptations is that we
give in saying that next time we won't do it....well the truth is when you give
in to a temptation you become weaker and when you refuse to give in you become
stronger. Every temptation you give in to weakens you for the next
temptation!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> Nothing is wrong with being tempted. Temptation is
not a sin but when we give in it becomes sin. God does not promote
temptation and we should never blame God for our temptation. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> The devil tempts us to destroy us. God allows us to
be tested to strengthen us. Choose to be strengthened by God by doing the
right thing. God Bless You. Masinga <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black; text-decoration: none;">Matthew 6:11</span> says ‘Give
us this day our daily bread’<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After reading this verse
over and over I got some great understanding.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is what I got:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It means you can only
live one day at a time<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It means you can’t live
today and tomorrow the same time, it means bringing your past into today will
destroy today completely!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">See what God said in <b>Isaiah 43:19 see I am doing a new
thing NOW</b>. This means that NOW matters to God more than yesterday and
tomorrow. If we want the new thing that God is doing we won’t find it in
yesterday and tomorrow but now.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It means God has
provided all you need to tackle today.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And notice what the Lord
said in the Prayer; Give us this day our daily bread. This means that it
is all about living for Him today.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It means you can’t wait
to do the right tomorrow or later but now.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It means the day of
forgiving those who hurt you is today not tomorrow<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It means the day of
showing love and kindness is now and today not tomorrow<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It means God has already
provided for our needs for today we only need faith and obedience to connect to
the daily bread (or would you pray when you have no faith that God will help?)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It means that what
happened yesterday does not count, God does not think about our yesterday
(That’s why He did not say "give us our yesterday bread"!)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It means it doesn't
matter what you did yesterday, His grace will give you the power to change now<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It means the moment of
now (or today) matters to God than your past<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It means you should not
worry about tomorrow; do today, tomorrow will have its own Daily Bread<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It means God will never
give you a better past, so why are you still dwelling on it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It means the time for
doing the right thing is now not yesterday or tomorrow.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It means the day of
salvation is today and now.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is means no more
postponing, do it today.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Enjoy your daily bread
God Bless You!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The
eagle is such an amazing bird of the wonderful and perfect Gods creation. It
is the only bird which can fly up high and look at the sun with naked eyes,
amazing right? Yeah super amazing!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As Christians we can learn many
amazing things from the eagle. An eagle always eats fresh meat for strength and
survival; an eagle will never eat dead meat. The same to us Christians we are
supposed to feast on the word daily, not depending on the word we ate on Sunday
or weeks ago. Some of us are still depending on yesterday’s obedience for our
victory; obedience is a language of now not yesterday.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Eagles fly higher when they face
the opposing wind with a proper angle, that way the wind carries them higher.
Eagles use such opposing winds to reach the greatest heights. The same applies
to Christians who want to become stronger and fly up higher. Every opposing
wind is an opportunity to go higher, if you will approach it at the proper
angle, or attitude. Everything which is opposing you and working against you is
the opportunity for you to fly higher and become stronger.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Every time you are having a bad
time is the best time for you to grow. Most of the spiritual growth does not
happen when things are smooth and calm but when things are ugly and tough.
There is always a heavy downpour when the clouds are dark, or do we have
great rainfalls when the sky is clear? Our strength is not in the good we
are but rather in the bad we have seen, fought and conquered. When you are
facing temptation and you give in you become weaker but when you refuse to give
in you become stronger and stronger.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Every temptation is an
opportunity to do well. Temptation is a stepping stone rather than a stumbling
block. Anything wrong and difficult we face is the golden opportunity for us to
shine by doing the right thing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am hoping you have read the story of Jacob and Esau in the Bible. Esau sold his birthright to Jacob in exchange for stew because he was hungry. His hungry move wasn't good! Don’t settle just for satisfying your hunger and end up missing the mark. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<i><b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The story is in <o:p></o:p>Genesis
25; 29</span></b></i></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<i><b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">29 Once when Jacob was cooking some
stew, Esau came in from the open country, famished. </span></b></i></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<i><b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">30 He
said to Jacob, “Quick, let me have some of that red stew! I’m famished!” </span></b></i></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<i><b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">31 Jacob replied, “First sell me your
birthright.” </span></b></i></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<i><b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">32 “Look, I am about to
die,” Esau said.“What good is the birthright to me?” </span></b></i></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<i><b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">33 But Jacob said, “Swear to me first.” So he swore an oath to
him, selling his birthright to Jacob. </span></b></i></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<i><b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">34 Then
Jacob gave Esau some bread and some lentil stew. He ate and drank, and
then got up and left. So Esau despised his
birthright.</span></b></i></div>
<div style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of my fave preachers said never make a major decision based on a temporary situation, Esau did exactly that. Don't draw conclusions about your life just because somethings are not working. So many relationships and marriages are being teared down into pieces because people run into making permanent decisions based on a temporary situation. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
You know those moments in life when the heat is on. There are something’s that we do when the heat is on and we later on regret because of the consequences. In any kind of situation that you find yourself in you either respond to God or the wrong side, there is no middle ground. <o:p></o:p>Watch out for what you say, what you think, what you do, whom you choose to stick to when the heat is on. Don't drift from the main thing so that you satisfy your current need. Never let what you are wanting get in the way of the right thing.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You know bending the truth, settling and compromising so that your situation wins. Watch out for the 'quickies' you have in life just because you want convenience. Remember we are not here to have a good time; we are not here for convenience but to have a good time while doing the right thing. Doing the right thing must always come before having a good time. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">Before you make that quick fix always examine yourself from a biblical perspective not from what you are feeling and seeing, you might miss the mark but with the Word of God you can't. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm-cZbIwlIO3_kmk1r2LDLwj4ZZjhn0bNHKnL5-HwyE_m7QQMNEdtI2NiChSeSu1ULJ35ZuvFlvhGFpcImjnHPw_0ah3tcNXQRlNZ30JpR3bf8mX3s2ppOKAW5VaDvrUtMArJD6cj7ODXN/s1600/GI.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm-cZbIwlIO3_kmk1r2LDLwj4ZZjhn0bNHKnL5-HwyE_m7QQMNEdtI2NiChSeSu1ULJ35ZuvFlvhGFpcImjnHPw_0ah3tcNXQRlNZ30JpR3bf8mX3s2ppOKAW5VaDvrUtMArJD6cj7ODXN/s320/GI.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The last thing you don't want is having life's pleasure and eternal pressure.</span>Our feelings and flesh will always somehow try to justify the situation when we know it is wrong. Look at the devil tempting Jesus, he was trying to show him that you need this and the truth is Jesus was hungry after fasting for 40 days, He needed food but He did not give in. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My Bishop Dag Heward Mills said this:<b style="font-style: italic;"> It’s easy to drift from the main thing. But the main thing will always be the main thing! Satan loves to push Christians onto roads that are close and parallel to the real road. He urges us on into good things which are not God's will. Through this demonic guidance, there is a lot of Christian activity but much of God's purpose is set aside.</b> Boy! Watch out, you don’t want to do many activities which seem good but they are contrary to Gods will.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We often gravitate toward what is safe, not necessarily what is right. Please take note nothing can take the place of doing the right. Don't settle for just being happy settle for being right, being right will bring blessings and happiness.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The word of
God makes us whole and simplifies life’s complexities <b>Psalm 19:7-11 The
law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the [whole] person; the testimony of the
Lord is sure, making wise the simple.</b><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">God is bound
by His word. God goes by what He says in His word, not your feelings, emotions
or anything else but His word. God used His word to create us and all the
creatures. To end a lot of confusion in our lives we just have to agree with
the word. Understanding the word makes our path clear.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">God's Word
warns us of danger and directs us to hidden treasure. Otherwise how
will we find our way? Or know when we play the fool? Without the word we
can’t know when we are right or wrong. <b>Psalm 119:105 Your word is like a
lamp that guides my steps, a light that shows the path I should take.</b><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our own
thinking and feelings feel right at sometimes but we can always remember
whatever it is, if it's not in line with the word of God we need to change. The
word will never change.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Whatever we
are doing if it is not matching with God’s word then it means we are glorifying
other things and not God.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Let God find
you standing on the word. It is the only thing that does not return to God
void. Your feelings and what you are seeing have no returns. <b>(Isaiah
55:11 so shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return
to Me void [without producing any effect, useless], but it shall accomplish
that which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing
for which I sent it.)</b><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sooo many
people are doing ‘good things but they are not in agreement with His word.
’Satan loves to push Christians onto roads that are close and parallel to the
real road. He urges us on into good things which are not God's will.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Fix your
mind on the word. See what God commanded us to do. <b>Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest,
whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are
lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if
there be any praise, think on these things.</b><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anything
that raises itself against Gods integrity, whatever it is or whoever it is
should be brought down. <b>2 Corinthians 10: 5......... and we tear down
every proud idea that raises itself against the knowledge of God. We also
capture every thought and make it give up and obey Christ</b></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 15pt;">2
Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of
the Lord is, there is freedom.</span> </i></b> You must be more conscious of the inner man than the outer man because the real you is the man inside, the spirit; not the body that we see. The <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;">Holy Spirit is the only Person who knows the actual mind of God concerning you. He is like a search engine, searching the database of heaven to reveal the will and plan of God for you.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
Every man has a spirit, a soul and a body. The soul and spirit live inside the body. Without understanding you are a spirit you will only focus on your body. Our Spirit makes actually our body alive. Death means separation of the spirit and the body. <b> (James 2:26 For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead)</b> The spirit of a man does not die, it lives forever.<br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Being spiritual means being controlled on the inside by God.<br />It means you don’t depend in your ability and talent or what
you have or look like but you are fully depending on God and be led by the
spirit<br />It means your inner
man is developed<br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Some of us pay much attention to the body and we forget the
most important part which is the spirit.<br />It is very important to work on your inner man. God lives
inside you<br />God is a spirit and He speaks to us from spirit to spirit
not our flesh.<br />If you operate on the flesh it is very hard to hear from God
and you can’t have a fellowship with Him.<br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> When you get born again it is the spirit that is
changed.<br /><b>John 3: 3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell
you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born
again. 4 “How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus
asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be
born!” <i>5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the
kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. 6 Flesh
gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit[<a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+3%3A1-21&version=NIV#fen-NIV-26127b" title="See footnote b"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">b</span></a>] gives birth to spirit. 7 You
should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You[<a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+3%3A1-21&version=NIV#fen-NIV-26128c" title="See footnote c"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">c</span></a>] must be born again.’ 8 The
wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where
it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”</i></b> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
God is a spirit, the only way you can relate to Him and
worship Him is by being spiritual.<br /><b><i>John 4:23-24 Yet a time is coming and has now
come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the
Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father
seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the
Spirit and in truth.</i></b>Whether you lived for Jesus or
not determines where your spirit goes, either hell or heaven because the spirit
lives forever.</span></div>

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The power of
forgiving, God won’t forgive you if you haven't forgiven others. <i>Luke 6:37 “Do
not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be
condemned.<b> Forgive, and you will be forgiven</b>”</i><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
The power of a smile and laughter<i> <b>(Proverbs 17:22 A cheerful heart is good
medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.)</b></i><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The power of
not being a people pleaser. Always yearn for Gods approval because, man
can approve you but what about God? You may have successfully justified yourself before
man but God knows the real you. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The power of
the blood of Jesus.. Only the blood of Jesus can cleanse our Sin, our good
deeds can’t even stand the power in the blood. You can’t depend on your good
deeds but you can absolutely depend on the perfect work of the blood.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
The power in praising and giving thanks (God dwells in the Praises of His
people)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The Power in
letting what has happened to be and embracing what is. Like it is said we can’t
change the past, you won’t even find God trying to give you a better past so
why live in it!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">The power in
worship, you will always come out refreshed. Worship is our </span><span style="line-height: 21px;">responsibility</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> <o:p></o:p></span><span style="line-height: 115%;">To worship
means you know and understand what He Has given you is far much greater than
what you can give. </span>Worship puts you in a place where it is all about
Him and not you.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The power in
the presence of God, something happens in the Presence of GOD that does not
happen anywhere else.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The power in
doing the right thing, really nothing can take the place of obedience, no
talent, no money, no confession, no sacrifice, no heartbreak; God expects us to
be obedient.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The power in
understand the truth. The only evidence of knowledge of the truth is that you
are free. <i>John 8:32 “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you
free.”</i><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
The power of Love… faith goes together with love. You have faith with no love.
Christianity is based on Love. <i><b>John 3:16 “For God so loved the world</b> that
he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall
not perish but have eternal life”</i></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span><span style="line-height: 115%;">The power of
having good friendship. For you to get there, you must have good relationships
and friendship. Take a look and David and Jonathan. Proverbs 18:24”One who has
unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer
than a brother”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The power of
hard times…! Yeah you read that right… God uses hard times to make us… God does
not give theories but rather a tough situation. God will not use money to make
you better but rather a tough time to make your character. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The power of
sticking to something or someone. You may not get there until you are fully
committed and patient. Don't give up easily<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The power of
being consistent and being good in your area.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #37404e; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> </span></span></span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Be consistent in what you do out of being consistent and being at
something over and over you always become the best you become irreplaceable. </span><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: justify;">You don't question why trees, flowers, or animals exist. Why
do you question if God does? He created all.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: justify;"> Things did not just occur. He owns your next second of Life.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If a man is
only for joy, his experiences will not be abundant.<br />
Is life supposed to be about having a great time and staying at the mountain
top or about commitment and responsibility? It is all about commitment and
responsibility. You won’t stay long at the mountain top if you
have never been through the valley. Avoid shortcuts to the mountain. The
valley teaches you how to behave while you are on mountain top. It teaches you how to be responsible, how to talk and to have the right attitude. Always remember if the
treasure is received easily then it loses its significance. The hard times in
life teach us how to take care of the treasure. Don’t waste your night
season.<br /><br />

through the cross before getting the crown. Just like Joseph going to the
prison before getting to the palace. Just like being sick so that
you know God is your healer. Just like being cast down so that </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

of no use! It’s like wanting to have a good marriage and you are not ready to
work. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Our God does not work that way. If you only seek the easiest
way, you’ll miss out on the best way. It’s good to get uncomfortable, it
is good thing to suffer.<br />
<u1:p><br />
</u1:p>Suffering is a necessary part of the journey<b><i>. Although he was a

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">A good thing to do as life goes on is to come
back to ourselves analyze what we are doing. You could be going so fast yet
making <b>no progress or bearing fruits.</b> You could be
still be doing a good thing and yet making no progress. Progress is so
important in your journey. Don't cheat to yourself keep it a 100 and analyze
your journey to see what you are becoming and making. I don't believe it’s a
good position to get comfortable with everything in your life. We are a <b>work
in progress</b> nobody has arrived yet. There is still a lot that you can
do.<br />
<br />
The prodigal son was moving so fast, with money and a lot of pleasure but he
was making no progress. <b>Ouch!</b> This is not a good place to be,
having pleasure; having what you want in life yet in your spirit and soul you are
breaking.<br />
<br />
When things are not working out in your life, come back to yourself. You don't
need more money or a better man so that you get back on track but a new
attitude and mindset.<i> (You know this kinda things that people say....I
wish I had a lot of money things would be okay now, I wish I had a better man,
I know I will be okay when I get the new job...) </i></span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The
prodigal son did something wise and very important.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> <b><i>(</i></b><b><i>Luke 15:17 “When he came to his senses, he
said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am
starving to death)</i></b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> The bible
says he <b>came back to his senses</b>. A good thing to do when
things are not working out, in your relationship, life, job, family is always
come back to yourself. The word says he asked Himself, how many people are in
my father’s place enjoying… <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The
question that you ask yourself in the midst of darkness is always important.
Come back to yourself and ask yourself the right question.<br />
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><i>(Luke
15:18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, I
have sinned against heaven and before you.....)</i></b> Yes you
have to rise up, you will have to stretch and come out from the comfort zone.
See the Father doesn't get back to you but you get back to the Father. Why? Our Father makes no mistake but we do. It is
your job to rise and get back to the Father. Just like the Prodigal son
repenting your sins is very important when you are getting back. <b>When we don't
repent we keep repeating!</b> To repent means to know your mistake, ask for
forgiveness and stop doing it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuy48_4HvI73vu-2qSgTSZ5UoqwnfJjxta5MEdAjvYJiasMIEIum-_D29kUD11bnsBNnKqqE2OeB6vjXqbtnxkfZ3EC__T2YXQiCh7ANVvQxm65puh1fwznGvlgFRTrvJ2ZBWy0X3bUdPC/s1600/video-kissam4-articleLarge.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuy48_4HvI73vu-2qSgTSZ5UoqwnfJjxta5MEdAjvYJiasMIEIum-_D29kUD11bnsBNnKqqE2OeB6vjXqbtnxkfZ3EC__T2YXQiCh7ANVvQxm65puh1fwznGvlgFRTrvJ2ZBWy0X3bUdPC/s320/video-kissam4-articleLarge.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
At first the Prodigal son only new His father as a provider but after things
happened and he came to himself he saw his father in a different view.
Challenges are good; they keep us going back to our Father. They help us
understand Him better<br />
<br />
Never sit on the sideline waiting for someone to come and rescue
you. Refuse to sit on the fence; get back on track, On His word. God does
not respond to our self-pity feelings, out worry. God responds to faith and His
word. Let Him found you standing on the word and not your feelings and fear. The
quicker you get off the road of pity party and get to agree with His word, the
better for you. It doesn't matter what is happening but what you
choose to do, the attitude you pick and what you believe it matters the
most.<br />
<br />
God is your only refuge, not much money, not a better man, not a better job, not a
bigger house, but God Alone.<br />
You can absolutely depend fully on His integrity. Don’t forget to always keep
coming back<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<i><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Luke
11:1 Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He
ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us
to pray, as John also taught his disciples.” So He said to them, <b>“When
you pray, say:</b></span></i><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Jesus said: <b><i>when

prayer is a <b>MUST. </b>Prayer is a way of living. <i><b>Prayer is not a reaction to
situations</b></i>; it’s not what you use to avoid issues in life but rather what you
use to go through it. It is more than lifting your hands and crying before God
and presenting your needs. Prayer is not where you order things but where
you get the wisdom to handle things.</span><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: center;"> </span></div>

what’s going in your life but also what the Father wants to be going on in your
life. When you pray it’s not things that should drive you but a relationship
that you have with God. Jesus said in the Lord’s Prayer..<b><i>.Our Father in
heaven</i></b> </span><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">that means you should have a </span><b style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">relationship</b><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> with
the Father. That's why prayer should not always be based on what you want but
also what the Father wants.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">See you begin with giving
Praise but not asking. Focus more on the giving, let the asking come later just
like in the Lord’s prayer <b><i>"</i></b></span><b><i><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Give

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">He is your Father, you
Creator. When talking to Him, speak to He is like your Father not like you are
begging. Time to come out of beggarly prayers! God if you really care, God
why me, God are you there... Prayer is not trying to convince God to have
mercy!</span><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">The Lord’s prayer begins
with<b><i> Our Father Who art in Heaven..</i></b> The start of a prayer
is recognizing your Father. Are you rooted to your Father in heaven
or just your provider? It is the best thing to know Him as your Father, not
just your provider, healer, protector and all that.</span><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">When praying pray with His
word. Speak His word over your situation. God goes by His word, not what you
are feeling, when praying speak His word, He is bound by His word. The bible
says God accomplishes what HE says in the word, you want to get the Fathers
full attention? Pray on His word rather than your feelings and fears.</span><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">What are you praying for?
God will not answer a prayer that will glorify us than Him or help our
temptations. Our Prayers will not be answered when they are against God's Will.<br />
<b><i>("If we ask anything according to His will, He hears us" (1
John 5:14)</i></b></span><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Don’t waste your time
praying if you have unforgiveness. If we don't forgive others we make
it impossible for God to forgive us. He said this to us, <b><i>"Matthew
6:14 For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your
heavenly Father will also forgive you"</i></b> Unforgiveness will
stop the flow of worship and stop prayers from being answered.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">A prayer based on feelings
will always demand quick answers. And what happens when you want something
badly and you don’t get it? Your become weak and start complaining and accusing
God. Don’t base your prayer life on feelings. Feelings care about what you
feel right now, wisdom waits and thinks about the consequences, wisdom thinks
about what will happen later on. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 13.5pt;"> He does not stay angry with us forever.</span><br />

Man it's so true!<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Confrontation</span> helps in setting your boundaries. Saying no means you can’t come far than this. Lately I have learned one way of setting my boundaries is to say no. This write was also inspired by A Joyce Meyer Ministry Sermon about setting boundaries.<br />
<br />
We are all forced sometimes to sugarcoat the truth so that we don’t hurt others or because we are afraid they will be hurt if we tell them the truth. Don’t be afraid to confront people just because you are going to feel guilty or you think they will be hurt. Confront issues with strength and joy, if others don’t like it, then Let them be.<br />
<br />
Your boundaries are what you have and who you are and people should respect that. When you set boundaries it’s a way of saying this is what I need in my life, this is what I have, this is me; it doesn't mean that you are rude or mean. People have a right to have boundaries and we should understand and respect that.<br />
<br />

Your boundaries should not be a joke to others.<br />
<br />
We are not helping anybody if we destroy our lives trying to help somebody who’s not willing to do their part.<br />
<br />
We help people so much that they build an expectation in them that we can’t keep up with. <span style="background-color: white;">Love is not letting people use you. Many times we as Christians think if we are not giving up our lives and sacrificing our lives for someone who is hurting and going through a lot then we do not love them. Yes we do sacrifice for people but God doesn't want to help people who are not changing and are ruining our lives and not respecting our boundaries. How many times have people taken advantage of your kindness? Many times..... I thought so! At times you don't even notice they are using you. Jesus didn't go out trying to make people let him help them; He helped those who came to HIM. </span><br />
<br />
There are many people out there who want to take advantage of you if you don’t have boundaries. Don’t feel guilty when you feel like you can’t do a lot for others. <span style="background-color: white;">We need to put fences around our lives and stop letting everybody walk all over us and then being mad at them because they do it. If you don’t let people know what you need and what you don't need then you can’t blame them for not giving it to you. </span><span style="background-color: white;">The bible says be careful how you start relationships. It says if you pamper your servant in the beginning of a relationship then you got them expecting that same kind of pampering throughout your life.</span><br />
<br />
Get out of that small box of saying yes to anyone and anything and live a bigger life. If you won't pay the price of saying no now you will pay a bigger price sooner than later.

problems that you will face! There are so many to come. I strongly believe that
every problem has a special package of lessons and wisdom, don't just
go through the problems but learn the lesson.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">
<br />
I know the thing that we do when we are in the middle of circumstances is
praying the problems away....<br />
Problems respond to what God says about them in His word...<br />
Problems don't respond to how much you are hurting.<br />
Problems don't respond to ordinary words... this is hard, Why me, I hate this,
I hate myself, when will this end...... you know this kinda blah blah blah<br />
So before you pray for your problems seek to understand what He says about your
problem in His word.. Why? God’s word will change the problem.. Your ordinary
speaking won’t change nothing. <u1:p></u1:p>Problems don't respond
to your tears, your hurt and worry...<br />
God said it so clearly in <b><i>Isaiah 55:11<br />
Easy-to-Read Version (ERV)<br />
“In the same way, my words leave my mouth,<br />
and they don’t come back without results.<br />
My words make the things happen that I want to happen.<br />
They succeed in doing what I send them to do”<br />
</i></b>Speak His word and His Promises over your issues. <br />
God Respects His word, not your worry and murmuring but His word.<br />
<b><u><i>Psalm 89:34 No, I will not break my
covenant; I will not take back a single word I said</i></u><br />
</b>God strives to keep His promise. Pray on Gods agenda and not in your
problems agenda.<br />
<br />
Instead of worrying about how bad it is, focus on what the word says about it.
Instead of being intimidated by the situation, choose to be inspired by what
God says about it.<br />
Whatever the circumstance, you will get the lesson from it only if you pray in Gods
integrity.<br />
Don’t be carried away by what is happening outside and forget what is inside
and what He said about your problem in His word…<br />
The valley of dry bones in Ezekiel 37 responded to Gods word. There is power in
the word. Don't under estimate the power in His word.<br />
We think that peace comes from the outside in, but to our amazement it comes
from the inside out... Peace comes from what is inside, what God says about it.<br />
<b>Psalm 138:2 I will worship toward
thy holy temple, and give thanks unto thy name for thy loving kindness and for
thy truth:</b></span><b><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"> </span></b><b><i><u><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">For thou hast magnified thy word
above all thy name</span></u></i></b><i><u><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">.</span></u></i></div>

should have an eternal perspective. Don't just go through the motions and the
pleasure, the last thing you want is having life's pleasure and eternal
pressure!</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">When it comes
to your relationship God expects us to walk in love and wisdom.. Just
because you are so much in love doesn't mean you should be stupid. A
relationship based on feelings that you have never felt before, the good
treatment, the approval given by friends and family will soon fall if it's
foundation is not the word of God and wisdom.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the expensive gifts, it is not about the amazing proposal, it is more
than holding of hands and having a good time together. Love is more than that. Love should bring honor and glory to God, it never fails.</span></div>

are unhappy, always trying to figure out yourself, unsatisfied and empty; it
means you have so many complications in your life and you need to simplify.
Many people have great complications: in marriage,
relationships, finances etc. Most complications draw us near to Jesus
who helps us to simplify our lives. It is a very complex world but Jesus
is ready to help you simplify your life<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the most and I tell you on this day taking care of the simple things will help
you in simplifying your life. The small things that we pay less attention to
are the ones which complicate life and destroy our blooming vineyards. The
solution to the issues found in marriage, relationships,and
finances is simplicity. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

At the end of every rainbow<br />
There’s a promise proven true<br />
No matter how you’re feeling now or what you go through<br />
There will be somebody lovin’ you<br />

And higher than the open sky<br />
Near enough to capture every whisper, every sigh<br />
Strong enough to hold you when you cry<br />

All that you need. All that you want.<br />

If you need someone to hold you<br />
Because your world’s fallin’ apart<br />
If you need a light to guide you safely through the dark<br />
And chase away the nightmares of the heart<br />
If you need someone to give you<br />
A purpose for your broken past<br />
And restore the reservoir of hope inside of you<br />
And mercies for each morning that is new<br />
<br />
I AM. And I was. I am the one who is to come. Yeah.<br />
Before and after. I’ll still be what I am and what I was.<br />
I’ll be all that you need and I’ll be all that you want.<br />
I’m telling you, I am, I’m the rose they crucified and buried<br />
I am ,now I’m risen from the dead.<br />
I am, I’m the lion from the tribe of Judah<br />
I am, I’m the lamb<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[<a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+6%3A25-34&version=NIV#fen-NIV-23310a" title="See footnote a"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">a</span></a>]?<br /><o:p></o:p></b></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about </b> <span style="font-weight: bold;">itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Worry means to choke, you feel like you have no options, it means giving much negative attention to what if this will happen, what would happen and what happened, you know giving too much thought on the outcome. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The word of God is against worry. Jesus was so clear on this one because He knows what worry can do to you:</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
It is such a big waste to worry.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Worry is a sin.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Worry is not a weakness it is a wickedness.</span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkDKmi-JMp9sScg3SC89imIEEPVg9Im71B_IrAT7c1GOkSEkLEwDGQ5sPWqoLfY0EkvFSiEcllkuGE7777AZf3UhXkp2w0NbfhyuZNHI3ILrbdQ0hbeMYjMZ5-PLCcvkmS-VPV2l2sM2wA/s1600/download.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkDKmi-JMp9sScg3SC89imIEEPVg9Im71B_IrAT7c1GOkSEkLEwDGQ5sPWqoLfY0EkvFSiEcllkuGE7777AZf3UhXkp2w0NbfhyuZNHI3ILrbdQ0hbeMYjMZ5-PLCcvkmS-VPV2l2sM2wA/s1600/download.jpg" /></span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Worry leaves you hopeless.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Worry means you are agreeing with the devil and disagreeing with God</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
What can you change by worrying?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When we worry we create huge monsters that eat away our peace.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Worry will keep you busy but it won’t get you anywhere.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Worry is a lot of work, it will make you tired.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><b><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">Proverbs 12:25 </span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.</span></b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><b><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><br /></span></b></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When you worry you forgot who God is because worry takes your eyes off God. You will be looking around instead of looking up.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Worry wastes time and energy.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Worry ain't gonna change even a single</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> thing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You make the devil happy by worrying.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
Worry will do nothing but waste you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Don’t talk about your worry.. the more you talk about your worry the bigger it becomes.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Worry will steal your strength and leave you drained.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Worry is like saying God I doubt you.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You will miss great things for worry.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> <span style="background-color: white;">The Bible says in<b><i> Matthew 6:27 <span style="line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">Which of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?</span></i></b></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f9fdff; color: #001320; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><b><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">Philippians 4:6-7</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"> </span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which sur</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">passes all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.</span></b></i></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: left;">Worry is a total waste of time. It doesn't change anything. All it will do is steal and capture ones joy...keep one burden down...no happiness none whatsoever ...keep one grouchy and angry at others...not to mention how it would lower ones self-esteem ...and so much more. </span> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You gotta trust God knows what is going to happen and you don’t know. Understand that God knows what is coming your way.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is time you sit back and let God lead you. If you do the right God will take care of the outcome.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Worry not.</span></div>

that God made for us to enjoy but this is the area that most of us are
struggling. Happy and stable relationships do exist.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. When you love somebody, you give your all, you
don't hold back nothing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">John 3:16 For God So<b><i> Loved</i></b> The World That
He <b><i>Gave</i></b> His Only Son.. See God truly loves us and that's
why He gave His best to us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Communication: You have to be careful with
what you are saying; it is not what you say but what they hear that really
matters. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. <b><i>Song of Solomon 2:15</i></b>... Catch all the
foxes, those little foxes, before they ruin the vineyard of love, for the
grapevines are blossoming. The little things will destroy you if
you don't take care of them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The little things that you keep in your heart, bad
memories of past, these little foxes will destroy the vine. Deal with them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. Speak and confess good things over your
relationship and they will come to pass. <b><i>2 Corinthians 4:13</i></b>. Since we have the same
spirit of faith according to what has been written, <b><i>“I believed, and so I
spoke,” we also believe, and so we also speak.</i></b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Any good relationship can be destroyed by words. <b><i>Proverbs 18:21</i></b>. Death and life are in the
power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits. God has given
us the ability to speak things into existence, make sure you use this ability
wisely.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> 5. Any form of complaining is evil and it
will lead your relationship to failing. Communicate victoriously; speak clearly
and with great wisdom and peace.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">6. Remember the old saying, 'A family which stays together stays together?' <o:p></o:p>Pray for each other, pray together</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">7. Saying I am sorry it was my mistake will save
you a lot of trouble.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">8. Break ups... the devil cheers you up to do it!
Don't be weak, maintain good relationships. God does not like break ups and
divorce. <b><i>Malachi 2:16</i></b> I hate divorce," says the LORD God of Israel,
"and I hate a man's covering himself with violence as well as with his
garment," says the LORD Almighty. So guard yourself in your spirit, and do
not break faith.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">9. Understand that no one is perfect and your
partner will never be perfect. Accept them as they are. <b><i>Romans 3:23</i></b> “For
all have sinned...” All of us are sinners; your partner is a sinner
not perfect, give room for mistakes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">10. There is no greater crime in relationships than
disloyalty, you have to be faithful.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">11.
Be each others cheerleader.. Cheer your partner even when the rest of the world
boos at them<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">12.

<b>Nothing is greater than Love.</b> Love after all things matters the most but lets be real for a moment, in this life relationships is the area that most people <i><b>complain </b></i>or <b><i>regret</i></b> about. The reason is because they love with the human kind of love. The human love runs out, there are times that we don't feel like loving. God has given us power to love with the supernatural kind of love, loving when we don't feel like it, loving others when they are unlovable.<br />
This week I want to share a few insights I have learned about relationships.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeInaOMqPmPbGc28SBT80G0rFDJ2pk3yE9iwljQbJvi5Tk6CnElFMqFKksRPVn_zIvNmsbBnmCI7jzDysjEH3ynQ60jm0HtAr_Bxlh6BGpF4n2UV04oAZSyche6QioDw7CnYvOImAYakiV/s1600/download.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; display: inline !important; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeInaOMqPmPbGc28SBT80G0rFDJ2pk3yE9iwljQbJvi5Tk6CnElFMqFKksRPVn_zIvNmsbBnmCI7jzDysjEH3ynQ60jm0HtAr_Bxlh6BGpF4n2UV04oAZSyche6QioDw7CnYvOImAYakiV/s200/download.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
1. Every relationship is faced with the issue of <b>misunderstanding</b>... Just when you think you are doing okay, misunderstanding will always find a way in your relationship... and this is where most people give up and let go. When misunderstanding hits you all you see is that the relationship won't last, every person in a relationship goes through this stage, you feel like you can't take it anymore. So many times in your relationship you will be tempted to lose hope and quit.<br />
<br />
2.To overcome misunderstandings we need to totally accept someone. Accept people as they are, understand that everyone is totally different. Romans 15:17 Says Accept on another just like Christ accepted you in order to bring praise to God. If you are selfish and always seeing things in your own perspective, the relationship will fail.<br />
<br />
3. Love is all about<b> action</b>, say it and do it... To love completely means you can't wait to act tomorrow but you act now, do it now, say it now, give it now. When it comes to loving somebody you don't wait to do the right thing tomorrow, you do it now. Don't say that someday you will love them; express love now, let them know now. You can love completely, Give the poeple you love a clear picture of how you feel about them.<br />
<br />
4. Many relationships are ruined because people wanna satisfy the flesh and their feelings, saying things they shouldn't say, doing things which you shouldn't do. It's not worth to damage a relationship just because your feelings and flesh are telling you different things. You just don't speak anything that you feel like saying, you will blow it up and end regretting.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
5.No matter how mature we get, no matter who you are in a relationship with; we will never get to the point where we don't feel like giving up, having negative emotions, its part of the journey, learn how to deal with it.<br />
Our emotions and feelings will always urge us to make quick decisions that we end up regretting later on, instead relax and do the right thing. Listen to wisdom and not your feelings, wisdom listens and waits.Feelings care about what you feel right now, wisdom waits and thinks about the consequences, wisdom thinks about what will happen later on.<br />
<br />
7. Most people say this <i><b>"I just don't feel the spark I used to feel anymore"</b></i>... . I don't feel the same thing I used to feel, well we all know feelings come, feelings go. Love is not a feeling, its a decision.You make a decision to love that person no matter what.<br />
<br />
8. Sometimes we are drawn to other people and I know it feels okay to be drawn to another person who's is not your mate but always remember it's not God who is doing the drawing. God doesn't draw us away from our mates but the devil.<br />
<br />
9. Sometimes you think that the person next door will be good for you than your lover. You think that you won't have to put up with a lot... let me remind you the enemy always tell us that the grass is greener on the other side but don't ever forget still has to be watered and catered for.<br />

10. Relationships are not a walk in the park, you have to be willing to work and sacrifice a whole lot.<br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Never settle for loving only when the mood is right. It is your responsibility to love at <b>all</b> times.</span></span><br />

<br />
<b><u>Psalms 23</u></b><br />
<b><u>A Psalm of David</u>.</b><br />
<br />
<b><i>1</i></b> The Lord is my Shepherd , I shall not lack.<br />
<br />
<b><i>2</i></b> He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still and restful waters.<br />
<i><br /></i>
<b><i>3</i></b> He refreshes and restores my life; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.<br />
<br />
<b><i>4</i> </b>Yes, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear or dread no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff , they comfort me.<br />
<br />
<b><i>5</i></b> You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.<br />

<b><br /></b>
<b><i>6</i></b> Surely or only goodness, mercy, and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life, and through the length of my days the house of the Lord shall be my dwelling place.<br />
<br />
Shakespeare used to recite this Psalm at the end of his plays. One day after doing his play a young boy stood and read the Psalm and everybody cried. Shakespeare was really amazed because he has been reading the Psalm for a long time and no one has ever cried. He asked the boy how that happened, the boy said, <i><b>'You know the Psalm, I know the Shepherd'</b></i><br />
<br />
When I heard this story for the first time I was like.....man! So many times I have been following God because of His great works without knowing Him. Knowing about someone is different from knowing the person. The more you know someone the easier the interaction.<br />
Many of us are following God because of what He can do, we only know His good works, we don't know the Shepherd at a personal level.<br />
<br />
It's easier to do good things, go to church but not know God. I love the saying which goes like <i><b>'God is not interested in our service, He is interested in us receiving His service and Love' </b></i>God is really interested in the personal relationship than the great public works that we do in His name.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Do you ever spend time with God because of who He is, not for what He can do for you? There is no need of running around shouting of His goodness when you don't know Him personally. Get to know your creator at a personal level. You can know God personally by spending time with Him, through prayer and reading His word. Constantly keep in touch with Him<br />
<br />
Joyce Meyer once said<b style="color: #666666;"> <i>“ … At this moment, each one of us is as close to God as we choose to be.</i></b><br />
<i><span style="color: #666666;"><b>God loves you so much and He wants to have a personal, intimate relationship with you. If you want to have a closer walk with Him, you’ll need to make some changes and some of them will be challenging...... ”</b></span></i>Masingahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11953581586360664000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3138002218104142050.post-67859011583280430312012-05-31T15:03:00.000+03:002012-09-06T14:10:53.793+03:00Normal is not working and it’s boring. Yes, you read that right!<br />
This write was inspired by a Kerry Shook Ministry sermon that I listened to some other day. Normal is not enough; so many have settled for normal and less when God has given us the ability to do the extra ordinary. If you want what normal people have; insecurity, bitterness, unfaithfulness, grudges, anxiety, sadness; keep doing what they do but If you want what few people have; peace, joy, security, fulfillment, faithfulness, forgiveness, contentment, then you have to get off the normal road and get on the narrow road.<br />
<br />
As you read on you will realize that it’s so easy to do the normal things. It’s such a simple write, you won’t struggle to understand. Here we go!<br />
<br />
Normal sees the bad in people, the negative, the faults; Extra ordinary sees the diamond in people and helps them to glow and shine/sparkle....<br />
<br />
Normal is constantly seeking acceptance from others, Extra ordinary is accepting who you are, without reservation. When you know who you are you won’t be manipulated by others. When you accept yourself, you will have no worries about not getting acceptance form others or even having to relate with others.<br />
<br />
Normal is depending on a particular thing for happiness and fulfillment like music, movies, people, shopping and drinking; extra ordinary is depending fully on God. If you depend on some particular thing, or person, or situation for your happiness and fulfillment, you’re setting yourself up for problems.<br />
<br />
Normal corrects a person just to make you feel good and happy, extra ordinary corrects one because it’s going to benefit that person.<br />
<br />
Normal is following what your feelings tell you, extra ordinary is doing the right thing in spite of what your feelings are saying. It’s much easier to do what we feel than to do calm down and do what’s right. Just because you woke up feeling discouraged doesn’t mean you should follow that and live discouraged. We can’t depend on our feelings because they are constantly changing; you can feel up one moment and down the next.<br />
<br />
Normal looks at the physical looks only. Extra ordinary looks for the character and the beauty inside.<br />
<br />
Normal spends much time taking care of the outside; extra ordinary knows there’s no point of having it together on the outside and broken inside. The bible says it’s the hidden man of the heart that He is concerned about.<br />
<br />
Normal judges and criticizes people. Extra ordinary gives them love and grace.<br />
<br />
Normal allows other people define your life, extra ordinary lives to the definition of God.<br />
<br />
Normal does not forgive; extra ordinary chooses to forgive after all.<br />
<br />
Normal is jumping into conclusions and saying stupid things, extra ordinary is seeking to get an understanding first.<br />
<br />
Normal makes excuses and blames; extra ordinary admits the wrong made.<br />
<br />
Normal is speaking too much speaking without listening, Extra ordinary knows this: James 1:19, be quick to listen and slow to speak.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
You can experience the extra ordinary life that Jesus gave us when He died on the cross and resurrected. God created you big, stand up and take centre stage. <br />
<br />

Don’t live life in a small way, normal is very shallow, it’s not enough, and it’s boring!<br />
