God is watching over His word to fulfil it!

January has already come and gone! 

I was pondering all that God did in the past month in our church and in my life. It's a good thing to look back and remember all the good things God did in our lives on a regular basis. It will encourage us and bring hope and faith for the future. 

We all had a wonderful time of seeking God in January and particularly during our week of fasting. 

God spoke some things to me personally during January and I have them all written down. These are scriptures He highlighted to me that are His promises to me for this year. I did this so that I wouldn't forget and so that I can daily bring them before Him in prayer, pray them over my life, and hold on to them until I see them come to pass.

 I'd encourage us all to do the same. Let's go back over those words God spoke to each of us, and let's remember them as we enter February. Some things that God spoke may have already come to pass and some are yet to. But I want us to think about our heart posture towards God's promises. Have we already forgotten them or are we taking them seriously and exercising patience and faith to see them come to fruition in our lives? 

What are the scriptures God spoke to you during the fast? Are there some things He promised you for this year? Are there things He promised you for your finances, family, health, work etc? Are there some changes He asked you to make in your life? Are there some relationships He's asked you to mend? Are there some heart issues He's spoken to you about that He wants to work on this year. How are we doing with all of this? 

Jeremiah 1:12 NIV says "The Lord said to me, “You have seen correctly, for I am watching to see that my word is fulfilled.”

When God speaks to us, He doesn't change, but we often forget what He spoke. I'd encourage you to remember them today. God's word is full of His power and He will orchestrate situations and circumstances in a way that no one else can. He is the miracle worker!

Prayer: the key to unlocking and entering into God's will

Image
Oftentimes, in our lives, we get so side tracked by so many things that we forget one of the most important keys to walking in everything God has for us on earth and that is 'prayer'. I hope my blogs provide some encouragement when you are struggling in this area to keep going. I know it's not always easy to pray, but when we do, we gain far more from it that we can imagine. It's any wonder the enemy will do all he can to stop us from praying, both personally and corporately.  God is all sovereign and all powerful and can do anything. Yet, He has given us a key to unlocking His will on earth and that is 'prayer'.  Imagine God's will to be like a house that God has built for you and wants to give you. For you to go in and live in and enjoy it, you need a key. Well, prayer is the key that will cause you to enter in and possess God's will for your life. We see it time and time again in the Bible when God was waiting on a man/woman to pray for His...

We can approach the Throne of Grace anytime!

Happy New Year! Hebrews 4:16 "Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need" We serve a God who is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords!  His throne is unlike   any   earthly king's throne. Besides it being the most amazing throne, filled with His glory and majesty that is incomprehensible with our human minds, it is also a throne of 'grace'. Our God is   so  filled with grace, so much so that the writer of Hebrews calls His throne, the 'throne of grace'! Grace is God's unmerited favour, His kindness, generosity of disposition and also His   empowerment. We can approach this throne of grace without fear and trepidation. We can approach this throne of grace freely, boldly and confidently because of our trust in Jesus and His redemption in our lives. We do this so that 'we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need...

Consecration enables us to hear God clearly and receive empowerment

Well, it seemed like yesterday when we said goodbye to 2023 but here we are in February already!  All of January, we've been focusing as a church on the topic of 'Set Apart' which includes the areas of holiness, being consecrated to God and living in obedience and in accordance with our calling. The early apostles and believers were asked by Jesus to stay in the city of Jerusalem, until they were empowered by being baptised in the Holy Spirit. In obedience to Him, they waited patiently, gathering together and praying regularly. It was during one of these times of prayer, God spoke clearly lead them to choose Matthias to replace Judas (who betrayed Jesus).  Later on, during one of these times of prayer together, God sent the Holy Spirit and baptised them, they began to speak in tongues and received the power of the Holy Spirit which dramatically changed their lives to living in courage and boldness to preach the gospel!  You can read about this in Acts 1 and 2.  We le...
