GOD’S THOUGHTS CONCERNING YOU

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Jeremiah 29:11

Beloved, you might find that you are not where you want to be or your life did not quite turn out the way you thought it would. Maybe, you are not as swift, strong or wise as you would like to be. There is hope for you and Jesus is your hope. God has good thoughts concerning you.

Taking it from our opening Scripture, God has thoughts of peace toward you; however, these thoughts are in His Word clothed in vocabulary. What you need do is to delve into the Word, because all His exceedingly great and precious promises are not on the surface. You must dig deep to take possession of them.

You need to exchange your thoughts about yourself with God’s thoughts concerning you. Whatever God says about you in His Word, let it dominate your thinking. Let the Word saturate your mind. Renew your mind with the Word of God.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Romans 12:2

Let the Word give you a new perspective. See yourself the way God sees you. Remember this, when you are born again, God is not mad at you. On the contrary, He wants to bless you. You have peace with God.

You might be saying: “you don’t know what I have done.” God knows what you have done and God is merciful to you. He still has thoughts of peace concerning you and a bright future for you. Child of God, God loves you and He wants to bless you.

How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them!

Psalm 139:17

Thought of the day: God has good thoughts concerning me.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You that You have thoughts of peace and precious thoughts concerning me, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

STRENGTHEN YOURSELF IN THE LORD

Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God. 1 Samuel 30:6 Things could be going wrong all around you, challenges everywhere, and negative thoughts attacking your mind even to a point of depression. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself and wallowing up in depression, stand up and strengthen yourself in the Lord. We live in the world that has challenges, Jesus said that in the world you will have tribulations, but cheer up because Jesus has overcome the world. Strengthen yourself in the Lord and be strong in the Lord and the power of His might. Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Ephesians 6:10 When you are weak you cannot overcome challenges you face in life. When you are weak you cannot have the victory and take possession your inheritance. You have to be strong. Strong

WAGE WAR WITH PROPHECY

This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare. 1 Timothy 1:18 If you have a prophecy spoken over your life it is time for warfare. It is time to wage war with your prophecy. Take the prophecy spoken over you and put it in your mouth. Speak the same prophecy over your life. Agree with God. Can two walk together, unless they are agreed? Amos 3:3 Speak the same things with God. That is faith, faith speaks the same things with God and we overcome by our faith. Faith will put you over and it will make you an overcomer. Use your faith to wage war. And whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcomes the world – our faith. 1 John 5:4 Put up a good fight and fight the good fight of faith. You have to fight in order to win. Wage war with prophecy. If there is no prophecy spoken over you, there is nothing to it. Use the Word and speak the Word over

GOD REWARDS RIGHTEOUS LIVING

The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to cleanness of my hands He has recompensed me. 2 Samuel 22:21 Righteousness according to the Old Testament is righteous living. However, in the New Testament we have received the righteousness which is by faith in Jesus Christ. When David in the Old Testament said that the LORD rewarded him according to his righteousness, he is essentially saying that the LORD rewarded him for his righteous living. Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them, for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. Isaiah 3:10 The above Scripture would then mean: “Say to those who live righteously that it shall be well with them, for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.” God rewards righteous living. It doesn’t matter where you find yourself right now, if you would continue living righteously, living according to God’s Word sooner than later your life would begin to change. You can turn things around as you live righteously.
