FEARING GOD

Praise the LORD! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who delights greatly in His commandments. Psalm 112:1 Nothing brings blessings like the fear of the Lord. When you fear God, He will bless you. God-fearing people are blessed people. All great men and women of God fear God. God is the Creator of the universe and everything that is in it. His greatness and wisdom is past finding out. He runs the whole universe. He is Omnipresent, Omniscient and Omnipotent. God knows the end from the beginning. There is no one like the Lord. Everyone who fears the Lord is blessed. Blessed is every one who fears the LORD, who walks in His ways. Psalm 128:1 When you fear the Lord, does that mean you are afraid of God? Yes, you are not afraid of Him to run from Him, but you are afraid to sin against Him. When you fear the Lord, you will fear nothing and no one else. And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and b...

BE STRONG IN THE LORD

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Ephesians 6:10 Many people in these last days have gotten weak and that is because they think they have to be strong in themselves. The Bible did not say be strong in yourself, but it says be strong in the Lord. However, some people want to be strong but they don’t want to pray, study the Word or go to church. Consequently, they remain weak. If you are going to be strong in the Lord, you have to engage in spiritual exercises. Some listen to their feelings, they feel weak and then think they are weak. That is not what the Bible teaches. As the righteous, we walk by faith and not by sight or sensory perception. It doesn’t matter how you feel because you can change it by your words. Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears; let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’ Joel 3:10 What you say about yourself affects your feelings. So if you are feeling weak, you can say, “I am strong in th...

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE

Now Abraham was one hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him. Genesis 21:5 Beloved, no matter how long it has been, don’t give up. It is never too late with God. God can still turn things around. God is able to do the humanly impossible. Nothing is too hard for the Lord. And the LORD said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Shall I surely bear a child, since I am old?’ Is anything too hard for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.” Genesis 18:13-14 People might have negative opinions about you. People might not even think that you are believable, but God can change that all around. God can turn your mourning into dancing and your sorrow into joy. If anyone can turn your situation around it is God! Stay in faith and keep believing, stay on the right path and keep doing the right things. Consistency is the key to breakthrough. Stay in the Word and prayer and your faith will not be de...

WALK BEFORE THE LORD AND BE HOLY

When Abraham was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless. Genesis 17:1 Some people think that to be holy is a difficult thing to do and yes, it is difficult if you try to do it in your own strength. However, God gave us insight on how to be holy, He said to Abram, “walk before Me and be blameless.” You can put it this way, “walk before Me and be holy” or “walk before Me and bear the fruit of the Spirit.” When you walk before the Lord, when you walk with Him or when you spend time with Him, you will live a holy life. So, spend time with God and be holy. You can only live a holy life when you spend time with God. There are no two ways about it and there are no short cuts. When you spend time with God He will change you and you will bear the fruit of the Spirit. The more you spend time with God, the more you become like Him. He changes you from the inside out. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, ...

IF YOU DO WELL YOUR SUCCESS WILL NOT BE DENIED

If you do well, will you be not accepted? And if you do not do well sin is at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it. Genesis 4:7 God has set principles in motion and when you adhere to them you will flourish, however it is to your detriment if you disobey them. If you do well your success will not be denied. If you obey principles of finances you will live in abundance. If you obey principles of healing and divine health you will walk in healing and divine health. If you obey principles of relationships you will have successful relationships. If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land. Isaiah 1:19 God has given us the keys of the kingdom. You don’t have to struggle through life. You don’t have to sorrow in life. You don’t have to be poor. You don’t have to be sick. You can overcome and experience breakthrough. You can walk in perpetual victory. Just search the Scriptures, be a student of God’s Word. You cannot be a stude...

YOUR IMAGINATION SHAPES YOUR LIFE

And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. Genesis 6:5 (KJV) Have you ever thought and thought and catch yourself thinking the wrong thoughts and went “What am I thinking?” Now when you said, “What am I thinking?” The line of thought was interrupted and you could think something else. That is what you need to do with wrong thoughts. Don’t let your thoughts run wild and think on the wrong stuff, interrupt wrong thoughts and change your line of thought or imagination because the character of your thoughts and your imagination shape your life. In our opening Scripture that is what made man wicked, every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was evil continually. If you thought on the wrong stuff long enough you would end up doing wrong things. For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. “Eat and drink!” he says to you, but his heart is not with you. Proverbs 23:7 Be careful...

A TREE OF LIFE

A wholesome tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit. Proverbs 15:4 Life and death are in the tongue and a wholesome tongue is a tree of life. A wholesome tongue will give you life. If you have been wondering where is the abundant life that Jesus came to give you, it is in your tongue. A wholesome tongue is a tongue yielded to the Spirit and to the Word of God. It is a tongue that speaks the Word and speaks in other tongues. When you yield your tongue to the Holy Spirit He will tame your tongue. And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell. For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind. But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. James 3:4-8 You cannot tame the tongue on your own; you have to yield to the Word of G...
