Afraid? No Need To!

Are you afraid of not accomplishing what you are created to accomplish? Quit being afraid!! Work out your faith.

“Your calling and divine destiny as well as your present spiritual build up adds up in determining the kind of battles that will come your way. When you consider David, you will observe the kind of opponents that he faced – a lion, bear and Goliath – 1 Samuel 17:34-37.

If you consider your life, you will realise that God has brought you this far because His purpose for your life is yet to be fulfilled.

The Lord that has kept you alive will continue to keep you.

You cannot rely on anybody other than yourself and God when it comes to the issues of making heaven – accomplishing and fulfilling your purpose.”

Pastor E. A. Adeboye   2013

Prayer:

Ephesians 1: 17 -21 Oh Lord, I pray that you will give me the spirit of wisdom and revelation so that I may know you better. I pray that you will allow the eyes of my heart be enlightened in order that I may know the hope to which you have called me and the riches of your glorious inheritance in your holy people and your incomparable great power for us all who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength you exerted when you raised Christ Jesus from the dead and seated Him at your right hand in the heavenly realms far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked not only in the present age but also in the one to come. In Christ Jesus mighty name I pray. Amen

Shalom! Shalom! Shalom!

Check & Balance! Free Will!

1 Corinthians 10:23 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. 

1 Corinthians 6:12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. 13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. 

Well, friends, the Lord has saved us from the wrath to come and given us liberty. He made His grace sufficient for us! Thank God!!

What we do with the grace given is left to us. However, remember, to whom much is given much is expected. Luke 12:48

Whatever you have been given will be required of it! What have you done with what you have been given? Your health, wealth, position, personality, beauty, pain, gifts, disappointment, your talent, disposition and all? They are meant for something. The Lord is a master planner! He gave you all for a purpose. What you do with it is yours to decide! 

I have enjoyed good health, I have also had some health scares, but all in all, I have been healthy. I must have taken this for granted for I suddenly realize that with food, I have no dos and don’t. Oh yes! I took the liberty and do not discriminate at all. I mean, I eat whatever my heart desires😀😀.

Then, I found out that it takess extra grace sometime to get the leftover, the unused part out of the body. Have you ever had to pray and ask for help with this regard? 

Free will sometimes needs control. I also realize that it is very easy to abuse this free will, the grace bestowed on us. Note though, much will be required of you!!!

Abba Father, thank you for your grace upon us. Lord, forgive us for taking this grace for granted. Forgive us for abusing our health, the extra pounds we have packed on indiscriminately that could hinder us from actively living for your glory. Forgive us for abusing all that you have freely given to us in Jesus Christ mighty name. Amen

Help us Lord to control our appetite in every which way, that your name alone may be glorify in us always. Thank you Abba Father for we pray and receive answers in Jesus Christ mighty name.

Shalom! Shalom! Shalom!
