Judge Him faithful
Hebrews 11:11
By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised.
When God makes promise He definitely will keep it.... He always keeps His Word.... He is the same yesterday, today and forever.... However like Sarah... sometimes we are in a situation that we keep on waiting and waiting... for the promise to be fulfilled.... however in such situation we need to judge God as faithful to His Word.... we need to judge God as a God who doesn't lie.... a God who fulfills His Word in due season.... Today I want to encourage you to keep saying :"God is faithful to His promise to me." In every situation... keep believing ... keep judging God as a faithful God to His Word....
Romans 4:20-21
He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.
Romans 5:5
Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

Your breakthrough is coming
Psalm 31:19
Oh, how great is Your goodness, which You have laid up for those who fear You, which You have prepared for those who trust in You in the presence of the sons of men!
God has goodness and mercy laid up for us all.... the key to this goodness is really a simple trust and simple hope in Him in all situation.... Bible says that if we being evil know how to give good gifts to our children... then how much more would God the Father give good things to those who ask Him.... Our faith leaks from time to time... thats why it is so impt to read scriptures to encourage our faith in Him....
Psalm 57:2
I will cry out to God Most High, to God who performs all things for me.
God wants to perform for you... He wants to give you your desired breakthru.... No matter how difficult or impossible it seems... GOd is still God and He will grant to you the desires of your heart.
Psalm 62:1
Truely my soul silently waits for God; from Him comes my salvation.
Our salvation... our breakthru... our desires.... all come from Him in due season... Today I believe God wants us to keep trusting... to keep hoping.... to keep believing...and to keep following Him... and everybody say:"AMen"
Romans8:32
He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
Don't give up... keep trusting and hoping... Your breakthru is coming.... due season is coming...

Why God Why
Hebrews 6:19
This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil.
Sometimes when we do all the right things yet the outcome seems to go wrong we get weary.... in such circumstance we must remember that God's Word is true and supercedes all circumstances... The best response is I don't know but God's Word is true and I trust His Word... His Word says I am blessed, I have abundance in Christ, I am healthy in Christ, I am protected in Christ, whatever I touch prosper, whatever circumstance I am more than a conqueror...
Hebrews 6:18
that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us.
God will never lie to you.... He has promised blessing for your life and He paid it by dying on the cross for you... and you receive the blessing cos He paid for you... and as you patiently endure... you will obtain the promise.
Hebrews 6:14-15
saying, "Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you." And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
Be patient in the trial you are in.... God has the blessing on the other side.... Have a great and humble attitude in your trial... He has blessed you in Christ... Be patient for the manifestation of your breakthrough....

Trusting Him
Psalm 119:49-50
Remember the word to Your servant, upon which You have caused me to hope. This is my comfort in my affliction, for Your word has given me life.
Affliction is a state of pain and trial.... in such situation we need to turn to God's word... for God is a good God and wants to heal and bring comfort and encourage our faith in Him.....
Psalm 119:107
I am afflicted very much; revive me, O Lord, according to Your word.
It is God's word that would bring the hope and faith into our hearts in any given situation..
1Peter 2:18-19
Servants, be submissive to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also the harsh. For this is commendable, if because of conscience toward God one endures grief, suffering wrongfully.
When you go through sufferings... God wants you to know that He understands... and wants you to remain with a good attitude before Him.... God wants you to continue to trust Him for He is able to make all things work together for your good...
1Peter 4:19
Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator.
1Peter 5:6-7
Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
The bible says that it is commendable before God to endure grief with a great attitude... consider Joseph who was clearly abuse and mistreated by his brothers and Potiphar's wife... yet in all these he had a great attitude of forgiveness and humility and kindness... that at the right moment God vindicated Him and exalted Him... want to encourage you to keep hoping and trusting in God and to have a good attitude when you are going through any unfair situation... God loves you and would lift you up as you humble yourselves before Him... His timing supercedes all things...

His sacrifice.... our comfort...
Galatians 3:9
So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.
When we come into Christ we enter into a new covenant with God... and we move from a state of being curse to a state of being under God's umbrella of blessing....
Galatians 3:13-14
Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, "cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree") that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
We must continue in our journey in faith... believing what Jesus did and keep to our faith and do the good work that God want us to do... But today God wants to remind us that we are blessed... those who are of this faith are blessed with believing Abraham.... No matter what situation you are in... God wants you to know that you are blessed person in Christ... However God want us to know that though we are called to liberty we should use this liberty to love and serve one another
Galatians 4:28
Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise.

Perfect Love
Proverbs 18:10
The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.

His presence and love will give us security and we will feel so safe being close to Him... never find your security in money, fame, people or even position... put your faith in Him.. .He is the perfect love that casts out all fears... and He loves you with lovingkindness....

The more important the choice the longer time you need to seek the face of God... the lesser impt issues can take lesser time....
Psalm 27:4
One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life; to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in His temple.
When we seek God, God will always give us insights and directions and usually He leads in peace... God may stir us up from time to time... at times He may just lead in a still small voice or impressions... these are all insights that God gives to give us directions....
Psalm 27:11
Teach me Your way, O Lord, and lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies.
Forgiveness
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
When we have sins in our lifes and we do not bring it to God in prayer it burden our soul...Sin has its negative consequence in our lifes.... God wants us to confess our sins before Him... as we do that He will bring out the negative in our life and put in the positive... and He will forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness... However once you ask for forgiveness and repented... stop allowing the devil to condemn you because His blood has cleanse you from all sins... Commit your situation to God and pray for direction.... God is always a God of restoration....
Hebrews 4:15-16
For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore comeboldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
God understands our pain and weakness and we must go to Him, in our failings or our success... God understands the weaknesses we carry.... this doesn't give a liscense to sin but God really cares for His people and loves His people... and He has send Jesus to die for us... we should always come in faith to God in any situation to obtain mercy and find grace in time of need.
2Cor 5:17-21
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold all things have become new. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God. For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

Heavy burdens vs God's burden
Luke 11:46
And He said, "Woe to you also, lawyers! For you load men with burdens hard to bear and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.
God has burden for us... however God's burden is easy... His yoke is light... religion loves to impose unnecessary hard burden on people and its really a form of godliness that seeks to impress... however when Jesus was on earth... He was upset with the religious leaders... they put burdens and added many laws and wrong burdens on the people and that bothered Jesus... We must be careful in our love and zeal for God not to become zeolous for activities laid by men and not God... we must discern what does God want us to be involve in and not just comply to everything... there are many things God may want us to do but it must come from the Holy Spirit and the peace of God... so some example of God's burden that is easy...
Luke 11:42a
But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass by justice and the love of God.
God wants us to know that His burden is always connected to bring justice in people's life and teaching people about God's love and compassion....
Compassion is being released when we know how much God loves people and how much He cares for them.... lets not be caught up with actitives and man made burdens that we become a pharisee... let us rather be a person who has compassion knowing how much God loves us and has compassion for people... He is patient and kind... abounding in compassion and love for lost people.

Keep believing in His promises
Psalm 27:13
I would have lost heart, unless I had believed, that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
Dr Ar Bernard taught us that faith is trusting in His promises.... and the essence of God's character is goodness... which means that God is a loving and good Father.... Sometimes in our life we hit a particular situation where we don't really have an answer.... however its during such moments we need to make a decision to trust and believe His promises.... David said if he did not choose to believe and trust he would have lost heart... and become so disappointed with life.... today I want to encourage all the readers... whatever situation you are in... do know that God has an answer... you can trust Him and depend on Him... in the still small voice you can hope in Him... He is able to bring you to your destiny and desires of your heart... Let the peace of God lead you and encourage you today....
Psalm 46:1
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Psalm 31:14-15a
But as for me, I turst in You, O Lord; I say, "You are my God." My times are in Your hand
Psalm 34:8
Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him!
Psalm 34:19
Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.
Psalam 37:7-8
Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him; do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; do not fret-it only causes harm.
Psalm 62:5
My soul, wait silently for God alone, for my expectation is from Him.
Psalm 64:3
Because Your loving kindness is better than life. My lips shall praise You.
God loves you my friend... don't give up.... keep believing and trusting and hoping in Him...

He will deliver you at the right time...
