THE GREAT PROVIDER

Abraham answered, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two of them went on together. (Genesis 22:8 NIV84)

What would you do if someone told you there would be shortage of air tomorrow? How much would you be willing to pay for the air you breath? No one has ever thought of storing air for the next day because there is absolute trust in the Father for his divine provision. We cannot live without air yet we trust in the unseen for it. If he could supply the world’s population enough to breath, tell me what he cannot give you. The scripture says “For forty years you sustained them in the wilderness, and they lacked nothing. Their clothes did not wear out, and their feet did not swell! “(Nehemiah 9:21 NLT). God could sustain His children for forty years. He gave them food and water for all those years. He is the Ancient of days. He remains the same. His power to supply has not changed, and He is more than able to supply everything you need.

Look at the ravens. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for God feeds them. And you are far more valuable to him than any birds! (Luke 12:24 NLT)

God has everything you need. He made the provision for them before you came to the womb. It’s no surprising that He said I know the plans I have for you, They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. (Jeremiah 29:11 NLT). He is your Provider. Looking at Abraham’s life, I could say His plans for him indeed was for good. He provided a lamb for the sacrifice. He used raven to feed Elijah. The problem we have today is that God’s children are not asking. They prefer to complain about their situations. “Until now you have not asked for anything in my name…” (John 16:24 NIV84)

When was the last time you made a request in Jesus Name?
Could you make one now?

Be encouraged that our God is more than able to supply all our needs. He is our shepherd and we shall not want. He will make us lie down in green pasture,
He will lead us beside quiet waters. He will prepare a table before us in the presence of our enemies. Surely goodness and love will follow us all the days of our lives. Keep believing, Keep hoping, and Keep trusting in the Lord.

God bless us.

THE EARTH IS RESERVED FOR FIRE

If you were born in the early 1900s, I believe your answer to the question “Could the Titanic sink?” would be a big NO! Man believed the Titanic couldn’t sink. In fact, they believed that even God couldn’t sink that ship. They were amazed at what they saw, and heard on the 14th day of April, 1912. The great Titanic did sink, and majority of the people on board perished. May their souls rest in peace.

On 11/09/2001, another tragedy happened that shocked the world. The US was attacked, and thousands of souls perished. People wouldn’t have believed if they were told that those buildings would be destroyed within 24 hours. Even now, people can’t believe that disaster happened. It beats what they could comprehend. The World Trade Centre, and the Pentagon came down. Remember what Jesus said that “Do you see all these buildings? I tell you the truth, they will be completely demolished. Not one stone will be left on top of another!”<;/strong>; (Matthew 24:2 NLT)

In the days of Noah, people didn’t believe until the water came down. They forgot that the World had a Creator, and He represent Justice.

I don’t know why human beings prefer to wait when they have enough time to flee from danger. I can’t understand why we shun the truth. Jesus said Heaven and Earth shall pass away.

In 2 Peter 3:10, the Apostle said “But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.”

Jude 1:7 “In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire.”

2 Peter 3:7 “By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.“

“When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah’s day. In those days before the flood, the people were enjoying banquets and parties and weddings right up to the time Noah entered his boat. People didn’t realize what was going to happen until the flood came and swept them all away. That is the way it will be when the Son of Man comes. (Matthew 24:37-39 NLT).

I saw on the news how people ran when Japan was hit by earthquake, and tsumani. People left their homes, cars, businesses, etc. the most important thing for them that time was their lives. That is they were afraid to die.
What are you waiting for today? Ain’t you going run to safety? There is going come a day when this world, and everything we see will be consumed by fire. Where would your soul be? Jesus asked this question; what shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and lose his own soul? This world has nothing good to offer. Come to Jesus today.

Be reminded today that the earth is reserved for fire. Accept the truth; Heaven and Earth shall pass away. Stand for Jesus, Live for Jesus. Flee from the wrath to come. Today is the day you have, tomorrow may be too late. I don’t mean to scare you but you could die today. How prepared are you?

If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9 NLT)

Jesus is coming soon.

God bless you!

A SEASON OF CHANGE

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

I was listening to Don Moen and Friends podcast (A season of change) this morning and God gave me this message. I believe it is going to bless your life today in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

To everything there is a season;

a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

Time changes so never give. The Lord is in control. A friend betrayed you, someone broke your heart, you lost your loved one, your spouse hurt you, business has slowed down, no job, you do not see any progress in your ministry, you are sick, etc. I do not know what you are going through today but I do know the God we serve. He is the great I AM. He is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams]. Quit worrying about what you do not have, or cannot do and start believing that there is going to be a change. God is able to change every negative situation you are going through now. He is God. He is Powerful. He is a loving Father. And nothing is too difficult for him. Remember the woman with the issue of blood? It took less than a minute for her to see a new season. Your new season is coming. All you need to do is to walk by faith. Jesus said “if you have faith [ that is living] like a grain of mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, Move from here to yonder place, and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.” Matthew 17:20

Elisha replied, “Listen to this message from the LORD! This is what the LORD says: By this time tomorrow in the markets of Samaria, five quarts of choice flour will cost only one piece of silver, and ten quarts of barley grain will cost only one piece of silver.” 2Kings 7:1

Do you believe by this time tomorrow, God could turn your situation around for good? Keep believing, Keep hoping, and Keep trusting in the Lord. Your healing, financial breakthrough, job, promotion, partner, spiritual growth, best days is just around the corner. Your new season has come. Do you believe it?

God bless you.
