HOW TO RECOGNIZE GOD'S BEST BLESSINGS;

I AGREE  with most of believers who believe that indeed God has provided us with blessings that are beyond description and beyond measure. Therefore we need to praise the Lord for His blessings to all of us.  We are blessed! No matter what else is happening. 

We always forget that what God gives us like money, good health etc are  blessings but we need to recognize those are temporary.  

The Question which we need to ask our-self why these blessings are temporary simple answer is that like a car will die one day. That money will find a place to be spent.  Your health will eventually decline. What we need to know is that the real blessings of the Lord are not material or physical. 

The real blessings of God are spiritual in nature, and these spiritual blessings will never be taken away from us but will open the gate of heaven.

we need to look our blessings in a different way not in regard to how they benefit us materially, but it should be spiritually. 

TOUGH TIMES

TB JOSHUA 2014 PRAYER

Is it easy to accept failure?

Jeremiah 8:4-5 - "The LORD said: People of Jerusalem, when you stumble and fall, you get back up, and if you take a wrong road, you turn around and go back. So why do you refuse to come back to me? Why do you hold so tightly to your false gods?"

We as human no one is perfect, and almost everyone can outline at least a few failures. Proverbs 24:16. We are not perfect, even in our faith, and God wants us to understand and accept that. Proverbs 24:16 - "Even if good people fall seven times, they will get back up. But when trouble strikes the wicked, that's the end of them."

God knows helps us get back on our feet. Psalm 40:2-3 - "and pulled me from a lonely pit full of mud and mire.  You let me stand on a rock with my feet firm, and you gave me a new song, a song of praise to you. Many will see this, and they will honor and trust you, the LORD God."

  

God knows we are creatures of habit. We tend to continue acting as we have acted in the past. 

Ephesians 4:22-24 shows that major changes must occur when we are converted to serve God. Changing our conduct becomes much easier when we are totally dedicated to God's service.

Philippians 4:13 - We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. This includes changing to please Him. If we trust our own strength, we will fail.

Psalm 37:5 - If you commit yourself to the Lord and trust Him, He will accomplish His will for you.

Acts 17:30; 11:23 Before one can change his conduct, he must change his mind. Proverbs 28:13 - Do not cover up your sin, deny it, excuse it, or blame someone else. Admit the error and be truly sorry.

we know that change is not easy but we can do it  "One step at a time." through God who is a source of all the changes; God provides tools of change to us but we are the one who should decide to use it or not. 

Therefore what choice will you make?

when I am unloved and unlovable?

"Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name, you are mine." (Isaiah 43:1). 

The Bible tells us that God knows our troubles and our happiness. He made each one of us special, and he wants to have a personal relationship with each of us. 

it is true that God's love is not based on performance. Christ loves you so much that while you were yet a sinner, He died for you and me. therefore God's love for you is unconditional and undeserved. He loves you in spite of your disobedience, your weakness, your sin and your selfishness. 

When we feel unacceptable:

• GOD will provide a way to abundant,and  eternal life.  

• GOD always loves those who are sinners. if the sinners are ready to repent their sins.

GOD IS LOVE

THE PRAYER FOR 2013

My God is awesome 

Loving heavenly you are a most loving heavenly father and You understand my innermost feelings! You know my limitations Lord, but your word says that your strength is enough in our times of weakness. I admit that I have no wisdom or knowledge of my own. But I have confidence that I can do every thing thorough Christ who strengths me.

Please go before me and let me answer the questions boldly and intelligently. Please remove all the unwanted fears and worries and fill me with courage. Let me never be put to the shame. I thank You Lord for listening to my supplications and filling me with your peace. In Jesus' name I pray.

Lord, I thank you today for good health as; I thank you Lord, for all you do for me and those that I love, and all that you will continue to do. I know that you are able and my faith keeps me strong and at peace;

Lord keep me strong to fight all the trials I have now in my life. Give me more strength to fight all these troubles. Make me always calm to be able to think for the right things to do. Guide me in all things I am doing. Thank you Lord for all the graces you have showered to me and my family. Keep us all in good health and keep us all away from accidents and diseases or any sicknesses that will arise.

Thank you lord for keeping me strong...and from folding...for answering my prayers in those little amazing ways you do. Please help me to continue onwards with strength and happiness... continue to show me that I am important and that I can do this...that I can also be a good example to others. Please watch over me and my family...guide us through these troubling times...give us the tools to endure...in Jesus name.

We praise God, the maker of heaven and earth, Who pours out His love and grace on us from day to day and

Morning to morning. Through him he has given me power to speak to the mountain and say “Move.”

• Do you know how big my God is?

• Do you know how great my God is?

• I say to the darkness, “Flee.”

• Do you know how big my God is?

• Do you know how great my God is? I say to the sick one, “Be healed!”

• Do you know how big my God is?

• Do you know how great my God is? He’s a mighty warrior, savior, healer, seated in the heavens, all things under His feet.

There’s no one greater, full of power, He reigns forever, and He’s the King of all Kings.

My God is a mighty warrior, savior, healer, seated in the heavens, all things under His feet. There’s no one greater, full of power, He reigns forever, and He’s the King of all Kings. If you believe you can say to the dead ones, “Arise!”  There’s no one greater, full of power, He reigns forever, and He’s the King of all Kings. And the kingdoms of the world are becoming the kingdoms of our God. And He shall reign forever. I know that today God showed His grace to us in an incredible way.

So what does Paul do? This mighty man of God prays—“Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me.” 2 Corinthians 12:8  Paul’s first, second, and third response to this problem was to cry out to God—“take it away!”

God answers Paul—“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9  through teaching in the bible you told us that  “You’ve got to face this problem, and God’s faith—His power—is available to you.” “My power is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9  today we are weak but God’s great power is available to help us deal “perfectly” with whatever test comes our way.

Therefore I pleading for God to take away this problem?

Does he get angry at God? Paul says, “Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” 2 Corinthians 12:9b-10

I will do God’s will today in spite of this problem in my life.” Don’t let this problem rob you of the joy of completing what God wants you to do today

“If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.”

Let us remember King David Psalm 23—“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” Psalm 23:4

God has never failed and will not fail.

You must change your way of thinking. Your weakness is where God’s grace and power flow to meet your need. When you are weak, you know you need God. God always comes to you at your point of need. Don’t let your weakness and failure get you down, because that is where God’s grace is released. Thus, Paul could boast in his weakness because that is where God will be glorified.

Dear Lord, thank You for what Jesus did for me on the cross. Because He died for me, I have been redeemed and forgiven of all my sins—past, present, and future. You have given me your righteousness and remember my sins no more. I am completely forgiven and greatly blessed and loved by you. I am confident of this, that the good work you began in me you will carry out to completion Philippians 1:6. Thank You for grace.

Lord, thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Amen
