Come To the Throne of Grace

Imagine this scene in a court, there is an accuser pointing his finger to the defendant, accusing him. The prosecutor keeps listing out the wrongdoings of the defendant. The defendant’s face is sad, looking defenseless and speechless. The high judge is sitting on the judgment seat; calmly listening to the prosecutor listing out what the sinner has done against the law. Now the prosecutor has finished listing the wrongdoing of the sinner and the court goes quiet, waiting for the decision of the high judge to raise his hammer and hit the table approving the punishment on the defendant. Suddenly he rises from his seat and he said to the prosecutor, “Let all the punishment for the sin that this man has committed be on me, and set him free.” This picture depicts the mercy and grace bestowed upon us by our heavenly father.

Because of His mercy, we are not justified according to our sins. The full punishment of sin that brought us peace is on Jesus as he was stripped, whipped, tortured and humiliated by the Roman soldiers. He carried His own cross to Golgotha, and hung on the cross giving his own life for us. His mercy and loving kindness endures forever. God is just, and punishment has to be executed by Him, but Jesus has exhausted the judgment of the father on himself. Today, His mercy can flow freely. Anytime and any day of this present moment He chooses mercy over judgment (James 2:13)

Today, Jesus is sitting on the mercy seat, on the right hand of the father (Hebrews 10:12), and the Father is sitting on the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16). What a beautiful picture! We can now come boldly to His throne, knowing that He will never condemn nor judge us for He is no longer sitting on the judgment seat, but on the throne of grace. The accuser might still accuse you about the things you have done, but remember that the punishment has been executed on the cross. Righteousness and holiness has been attributed to you.

If you are going through the storms in your life today, if you are suffering from sicknesses in your body, if you have any lack, come to the throne of grace and receive freely from Him. He bore your sicknesses so that you have your health; he carried your burden and gave you His peace. On the cross He nailed your lack together with Him, so that you can prosper in your life. Make a decision today to step into His throne room, He longs for you and all He wants is for you to have the best of what He has stored for you in life.

The Finished Work of Christ

“It is finished.” With that He bowed His head and gave up His spirit. The finished work of Christ allows the Heavenly Father’s grace to be released and flow freely. Jesus has broken the wall, which is built of all ungodliness and unrighteousness. The veil that separated the Holy place and the Holy of Holies is broken. God’s glory that has been stored in the holy of holies is set free and spreads till the outer courts, reaching to the lost souls and calls them His own. The message of LOVE and GRACE is being preached by the apostles. It is Good News, to the sick, to the poor, to those who are in sorrow, those who are in the bondages of sin. The Son of Man has come to heal, to prosper, to give His inexpressible joy and to set us free.

Jesus is the revelation of the fullness of God, demonstrating His grace (undeserved, unmerited, unearned favors), love, mercy, righteousness, holiness and justice. Sin is being justified on the cross; the punishment of sin is being satisfied by the death of our Christ. The cross enables God to show that He is love, full of mercy, always choosing to forgive and slow to anger. Though we might have fallen into sin, His forgiveness and arms are always open to accept us. The finished work of our Lord Jesus has put us in the place to be the heir of our Heavenly Father. The authority over sickness, poverty, bondages, fear or even death with all the curses of sin have been given to us freely as we accepted Him as our savior. Being a Christian has made us to be the most prosperous and blessed nation in the world. The world is seeking for peace, joy, health, prosperity, and we have the answer and direction to all these.

Being a Christian is great and exciting for we have the Good News. The word “Christian” means the anointed one. We are anointed everyday by His fresh oil to declare the finished work of Christ on the cross. We are the salt and the light of the world. Go today; start proclaiming the finished work of Christ in you. The Holy Spirit, your Helper will guide you and teach all things and bring to your remembrance all things that He has taught you. Hallelujah!

iT's My B'dAy!

It's my B'day!

8 years ago, this day, Nov 5th, I gave my life to Jesus. It is by far, the best decision I've made and most certainly the most important one that has contributed solely and exclusively into the process of making me who I am today. I was born into a Christian family, raised in a christian church and community, and tought good christian values. I knew almost everything there was to know about God, but I never knew Him. God and I were seperate entities, programmed to live seperate lives and destined to meet someday in eternity. The idea of spending eternity with someone I hardly knew blew me away. All that drastically changed the Sunday morning of November the 5th, 2000.
'God's Light Exposes The Heart's True Condition' - that was the theme for the week. Pastor Sandra Ee was scheduled to preach and she did a great job at reminding us that nothing was hidden from God. Everything is laid bare in His presence. He sees me just as I am. Toubled, broken, torn, hurt, sinful and weak. It was honestly and potentially, the most depressing and condemning sermon I had ever heard until then had it not been for her big finish. "God's light esposes the heart's true condition and God loves you just the way you are," she said.
That struck a chord within me. For years, I had gone through life from one failed relationship to another, continuously seeking for approval from all the wrong places and people, trying to fit in, struggling to find someone who knew and understood me. My life was a pile of ashes and the few feeble pieces left standing were being engulfed fast by the flames of hurt, anger and misery. All I ever truly wanted was for somebody to look at me and see me, and I had found Him.
It was love at first sight. I fell head over heels for God that day. I was so blown away by His indescribable, unfailing, eternal love that's beyond comprehension. I knew what it was to be loved and to be able to love. He sought me out. He found me. He encircled me. He guarded me as the apple of His eye.
Many around me deemed my new found love for God a temporal teenage phase, an excitement that would eventually give way to the harsh dampening realities of life. It's been 8 years now and I am more excited about God today than I ever was in my entire life. God is more real to me than anything or anyone else. He is faithful and He will never let me go. I'm carried in everlasting arms.
That day, I pledged to go where He sent me, to do what He commissioned me to do and to demonstrate His glory to the world and I'm being accountable today to keep to my word. The offer still stands and I know He isn't just able but also willing to keep me to my word and to see me through from glory to glory.


8 Y.O.,

IsAaC pRoSpErEd & So WiLl I

Isaac planted crops in that land and the same year reaped a hundredfold, because the LORD blessed him. The man became rich, and his wealth continued to grow until he became very wealthy. He had so many flocks and herds and servants that the Philistines envied him.

Genesis 26:12 - 14

Isaac prospered in famine! WooHoo! I receive that for myself in Jesus' name. Verse 1 of chapter 26 says that there was a famine in the land. I looked it up and famine occurs when the population outgrows it's regional carrying capacity. The carrying capacity may be diminished due to various reasons (Drought & other natural calamities, war, ect). So, while the size of the population keeps increasing, the supply of their demands run short. Isaac, living in the Middle East, would have probable been faced with a scenario of diminished regional capacity due to drought.

I am gearing up to start my own business. Everyone around me seems to think that 2008/2009 is going to see us through a rough time, financially and economically, probably the worst we've seen ever. In a nutshell, naturally and logically, I couldn't have picked a worse time to spread my wings and venture out on my own in the business arena.

While I do appreciate, very much indeed, these words of caution offered by many around me, I have made it my standard and outlook in life to not consult my circumstances on decisions that I make. The Word of God and the leading of the Spirit are my final sources of authority and despite what can sometime seem to people as a foolish move forward, I'm choosing to trust in the Lord with all my heart and to not lean on my own understanding. He has made my paths straight and I'm gearing up to tread forward with my head held high and collect spoils of war that Christ has won on behalf of me.

I'm putting myself out there. I'm choosing to not play it 'safe'. I'm choosing to get out of my comfort zone. I'm choosing to trust God. Senseless obedience brings senseless blessings. I'm blessed to be a blessing. If God be for me, none can be against me. Doors that God has opened, no man can close. He is the captain of my ship, the God over my circumstances, the answer to my questions and the Lord of my life. I'm being accountable to keep my eyes on the goal and to keep marching forward. I'm being accountable to trust in Him and to follow His leading. He'll never lead me astray and I'll never be sorry I followed.

Isaac prospered in the time of famine and so will I. Isaac built the largest part of his fortune in a time of financial, economical and social degradation and devastation. He planted when others conserved. He sowed when others saved. He dug when others filled in. He expanded when others downsized. All nations will look at me and call me blessed because of everything the Lord has done for me. Isaac prospered, and SO WILL I.

Highly favored of Him,

Ben

HiS pEoPlE

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God's] own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.

1 Peter 2:9

What [other] one nation on earth is like Your people Israel, whom God went to redeem to be a people for Himself and to make for Himself a name? You have done great and terrible things for Yourself and for Your land, before Your people, whom You redeemed and delivered for Yourself from Egypt, from the nations and their gods.

2 Samuel 7:23

As I read the two verses above this evening, I was gripped with such a feeling of awe and wonder. I am to God, today, every bit as chosen, redeemed, delievered, purchased, designed, dedicated and called as Israel was in the Old Covenant. The revelation however, wasn't just that.

The portion in the scritures above that stood out to me the most was this; God's 'awesomeness', magnificence, wonder, power and omnipotence are all set on display just for ME. God's got His best lined up just for me. Everything that He is and everything that He owns, He showcases for me to see, experience and indulge in.

Israel sat on the sidelines and watched the magnificent displays of God's power and majesty. The best they were given were courtside seats. I'm called to play in the game. He doesn't just call me to watch behind the scenes, He's offering me a chance to be able to display the same magnificence, wonder, power and 'awesomeness' that He displays.

I am to God, today, so much more than Israel could be to God in the Old Covenant. I can display the virtues and perfections of him who called me because I am who He made me to be. I am HiS pEoPlE

ThE aPpLe Of HiS eYe

He found him in a desert land,

And in the howling waste of a wilderness;

He encircled him, He cared for him,

He guarded him as ThE aPpLe Of HiS eYe.

Deuteronomy 32:10

Just today as I was pondering over the flow of the next chapter of one of my books, the Holy Spirit, very gently, as He always does, dropped this phrase in my heart; 'ThE aPpLe Of HiS eYe'.

The phrase apple of the eye refers to the pupils of one's eye. It was first used in early english literature to symbolize something that was of great importance, something that was the center of attention, something that was most important above all else. To be called the apple of one's eye, was to be called one's muse, one's inspiration, one's motivation and drive.

Deuteronomy 32:10 speaks of God's perception of Jacob. While he was in the wilderness, exiled, cast out, alone, friendless, aimless and desperate, God found him. While he was reducing to nothing and everything around him was wasting away to utter ruin, God encircled him and cared for him. Years before He allowed God to make something of himself, while he was without accomplishment, acchievement and glory, God guarded him as ThE aPpLe Of HiS eYe.

As God's children, we are the apple of His eye. We are His inspiration, His motivation, and His drive. We are His all in all, His everything, His heart's one desire.

A man in love does crazy things for the one He loves. No price is too expensive, no distance too far, no mountain too high and no sea too deep. He will dare the impossible, defy the conventional and deny the logical in demonstration of his love for his beloved. Jesus is the ultimate expression of LoVe. If you don't know him, you don't know love. He did the impossible, the unconventional and the illogical so that we can indulge in His lavished best.

Let Him love on you today. Let Him show you that you are truly ThE aPpLe Of HiS eYe.

ThE aPpLe Of HiS eYe,

Ben

MeRcY & gRaCe

God demonstrates MERCY when He doesn't give us the penalty we deserve for our sins. His heart is not aimed at pusnishing. He's looking to restore, reconcile and revive. His heart goes out to the lost, hurt, tormented and dying. Sin ravages every part of us that God had originally intended to use for His glory and purpose. Satan has been on his feet and working his best to dilute the urgency and importance of the demonstration of God's glory.
God loves us just as we are but He also loves us too much to leave us where we are (Max Lucado). Everytime we mess up, God's waits, on His toes, at the edge of His throne for us to but motion for aid. His ears are attentive to our cry. His heart, sensitive to the faintest whisper for help that escape our lips. God's mercies are new every morning. It extends past the borders of religion, rules, regulations, cultures, traditions, mindsets and the ways of men. His MERCY is made available for all those who desire it.
God demonstrates GRACE when He gives us the rewards we don't deserve. Jesus is the demonstrated GRACE of God. He took everything I deserved for my sin, so I can enjoy everything that He deserved. GRACE empowers, enables, equips and causes us to walk in His ways. We can because He can. It's all God! Our very existance is in His keeping. He sustains! He empowers! He makes straight. He first loved and still loves. He is faithful. He is good. We know how to live because He first demonstrated it all. We give because we have been given! We bless because we have been blessed. We love because we're loved. We can do for others what Christ first did for us. The GRACE of God is awesome and wonderful.


His banner over me is love,

FAVOR!

My God causes His face to shine upon me. I am the son of His FAVOR. The FAVOR of God surrounds me as with a shield! I'm soaked through and through, drenched, filled to the brim and overflow, zapped one too many times with the FAVOR of God!
FAVOR races me down the street as I go about my everyday chores, to overtake me and go on ahead of me to change rules, and regulations, mindsets and mentalities, cultures and traditions and to prepare everything that's necessary for me to receive the best in life simply because I am His highly FAVORED child. Where FAVOR is, worry cannot abide. I choose to indulge in the FAVOR of God instead of being taunted by worry.
FAVOR ain't fair and I'm on the blessed receiving end. Grace is undeserved FAVOR. I'm FAVORED because of Christ! I am an incubus and a dispenser of the FAVOR of God everywhere I go. Thank God for His divine FAVOR.
I am the head and not the tail, up and not down, blessed going in and blessed coming out, destined to proper in everything i set my hands out to do. I'm blessed beyond my wildest dreams because my Savior is more than enough for me.

Highly FAVORED,
Ben

By His Grace


The experience of dwelling in His Presence is just indescribable; you need to experience it yourself; as written in Psalm “Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere”. In His presence is where we belong to, His presence is our HOME SWEET HOME. Everything will seem to fade away; our worries, fear, insecurity will just be stripped off as we are steeping into His presence. In His presence there is PEACE and JOY. Abba father is longing for fellowship with us, He is deeply in love with us; All He has in His thoughts is us; keeping the universe as the way it is, the earth going around its orbit, the blue sky, the green forest, the breeze of wind that blew gently on our face; EVERYTHING, is just specially for us from our ABBA Father . Instead of fixing His eyes on our sin, weakness and fault, He filled His eyes with compassion, mercy and grace. God choose mercy over justice. By His GRACE we are welcome into His presence.  

GRACE is a gift of kindness given to someone who does not deserve it. It is costly and someone has to pay the price for it. Jesus has paid the price of SIN. The curse of sin is on Him, so that we the blessing is on us. He bore our sin on the cross, so that we are righteous in ABBA’s eyes. He died on the cross for us; though He don’t deserve; so that we have eternal life. That is the wonderful work of CHRIST. The Lord is merciful and gracious; slow to anger, and abounding in mercy. Grace is what God relate to us moment by moment with perfect love.  

By His GRACE, we can now boldly step into our HOME SWEET HOME. Come just as you are, though you felt lost in this world, you will find yourself in HIM. Make a decision today; choose to stay in HIS PRESENCE, get drunk in His love, for dwelling in His presence is indeed better than a thousand years elsewhere.

“My soul longs, yes even faints, for the courts of the Lord; My heart and my flesh cry out for the living GOD”

No More In Lack!

“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not be in want” Psalm 23:1

The word “LACKING” has been haunting me for quite some time. The feeling of lack started to manifest as I turned my eyes away from my God, who is FULL of all good things. When I focused on my abilities in my ministry, my studies and my finance, fear overshadowed my trust in Him. I felt lost, uncertain, faithless, and overwhelmed. I felt worse when my eyes were opened to my weaknesses; it feels hopeless, and alone. The only thing that keeps me going, knowing that I have entrusted my everything to Him. Just as when I felt “knocked down” and heavy burdened, God Himself encouraged me with His word, from Psalm 23.

His word hit me when the verse “I shall not be in want” come across my eyes. In another word, David meant that He DOES NOT KNOW LACK. The word LACK is just not present in his dictionary. God is making a covenant with me that He want to be MY SHEPERD, He want to be MY PROVIDER, MY SPONSOR for my whole life, putting me in a place that the word “LACKING” doesn’t tremble me for I know that He is my shepherd. When I turn my eyes to Jesus, I found myself in such a place that lack doesn’t apply. My life is full of Him. He is my peace, my strength, my love, my refuge, my comfort, my provider, in short HE IS MY EVERTHING.

Start seeing Him as they way He is TODAY. He is faithful and He will never forsake you nor leave you. That is just His nature. He can’t help it but to love and care for you always, cause nothing at all can separate you from His LOVE.

Encounter Him!

My heart has been calling and crying out for more face to face, life halting, tangible encounters with God. A love encounter with the Most High. He is madly, deeply, truly, entirely, wholly sold out and head over heels in love with us. He didn't hold any part of Him back at the cross and that's what He's looking for with each and every one of us. He longs for fellowship. He longs to create a race upon whom He could lavish nothing but His best. He stepped out in faith when He demonstrated what love was, at the cross. He has given His all. Now He's calling for us to respond in the same manner. 

I abandoned myself to a love relationship with Jesus a few years ago and I haven't turned back since. My will power, like that of most others falls miserably below the standard required to keep me hungering after this day to day love encounter with God. However, the love of God is so unconditional, so preserving, so peaceful, so empowering, so... perfect that in itself, it contains everything necessary to keep you grounded in Him. His love compels, energizes, empowers and enables you to love Him back. We love because He first loved us.

Hunger for an encounter with the Love of God today. You'll never be sorry. You'll never have the appetite for anything else this world has to offer. An encounter with the love of God strips you of all your defense mechanisms and walls and leaves you perfectly safe, entirely exposed and totally vulnerable in His arms. Yet, somehow, exposed as you are, presented with all your failures and weaknesses, you feel perfectly safe, accepted and loved. The love of God is amazing. the Love of God is real. The love of God is indescribable. 

Make a choice to ENCOUNTER HIM!

PERFECT SENSE!

I came to the realization, just a few months ago, as i was battling God's plan and call for my life that the only place in life where the call of God for your life makes PERFECT SENSE is in His presence. Every where else, the phrase 'UTTERLY IMPOSSIBLE' would seem like a major understatement. God's mandate for my life seemed almost preposterous. It seemed too BIG. too HARD. too CRAZY, too RIDICULOUS, too.... IMPOSSIBLE! 

Time again I found myself bowing to the thoughts and notions and taunting of fear, insecurity, inferiority,  and doubt. Every time I considered the idea of taking God up on His offer, I was crippled by the overwhelming and gut wrenching feeling of timidity and fear of the many uncertainties of life. 

 Finally, one worship service this last July, as I was leading the church in an experience of intimate worship, like none other that I've experienced before, it dawned on me that in His presence, I was suddenly no afraid. there was a sense of PERFECTION and SOLITUDE there as I knelt in awesome wonder of my King. His plans for my life no longer overwhelmed, or intimidated or imposed itself on me. I saw the Father's heart for what it was. 

He calls because He loves. He loves because HE IS LOVE! He has never once given me reason to doubt His faithfulness. He has never once failed me. He has never once let me go. I wept as I realized that God equips you for the call, and that He is my past, my present and my future. He is already in His call for my life. All I needed to do was to walk right up to Him. I smiled, stood tall and thanked Him for being just HIM. 

So today, whenever I doubt or get overwhelmed, I rush back into His presence and life makes sense once again. His presence is so very sweet and calming that everything makes PERFECT SENSE!

Intoxicated by His love,

             Ben

NEVER THE SAME!

Encountering the Love of God NEVER leaves you the same. When you're faced with the awesome, magnificent, wonderful, unfailing, overwhelming and uncontainable AGAPE, you can't help but weep in awe of the magnitude of His love towards us. Jesus is madly, greatly, deeply, truly, expressively, totally in LOVE with you. John says that this is how we know love; it's not that we first loved God, but that He first loved us and chose to send His son as a propitiation for our sin. 

His love compels Him to bless and heal and prosper and favor and sustain us as the apple of His eye. He is love. He can't help but love. He doesn't know how not to love. He's not mad at the world. He's in love with us. He loves us just the way we are but He loves us too much to leave us just as we are. He is moved with compassion every time He comes across the sick, the poor, the fatherless, the widow, the hungry, the homeless, the hurt, the dying, the down hearted, the lost and the unsaved. His heart goes out to them. 

We serve a God who first reached out to us with EVERYTHING He had. An object is assigned it's value depending on how much people are willing to pay for it. Imagine how much you're worth if the God of the universe thought that you were worth no less than the life of His only Son. No one can outbid that! 

It's the ultimate price, the ultimate sacrifice, the ultimate demonstration of love in return for the ultimate gift - US.

The next time you're struggling to get your prayer life back on track, to get your priorities in order, to fashion your heart after His own, know that He longs for all these things as well, so much more than you can imagine. One encounter with the Love of God and we're NEVER THE SAME!

Drenched, soaked and dripping with His love,

                              Ben

MORE THAN ENOUGH!

We serve a God who is MORE THAN ENOUGH! Paul tells us at the end of the 3rd chapter of Ephesians that our God is able to do for us, exceedingly, abundantly above all that we could ask for or even imagine. John tells us that if we are to ask for ANYTHING according to His will, He hears us; and if we know that He hears us, then we know that we HAVE the petitions that we have asked of Him. 

Imagine with me, if you will; Jesus doesn't just answer prayers, He does for us, exceedingly, abundantly above all that we could ask for or even imagine or guess, or request in our wildest dreams. From where I'm looking, our God isn't only ABLE, but WILLING to always bless us with MORE! To say that God is able, but not willing to keep to His word, is more of an insult to God than it is to say that He isn't able to do it at all. 

My God is MORE THAN ENOUGH! I have had MORE THAN ENOUGH! I have MORE THAN ENOUGH! I will always have MORE THAN ENOUGH! My Father is loaded and I have MORE THAN ENOUGH of every good thing so that I will always have an abundance for every good work! My God is head-over-heels, desperately, deeply, madly and truly in love with me and I am likewise smitten and crazy about Him. He is my all sufficient Savior, my all-in-all, my everything. 

He causes me to indulge in ALL His goodness. I am the apple of His eye and His highly favored child. He truly is MORE THAN ENOUGH!

You're blessed beyond your wildest dreams,

FAITHFUL!

GOD IS FAITHFUL! 

        The validity of the notion's not up for discussions, negotiations, deliberations and votes. He just is. His faithfulness is not dependent on our faithfulness to Him. Thank God for that! We're faithful to Him BECAUSE He IS faithful to us. God's not just faithful to us when and if we are faithful to Him.  God made a heartfelt and eternal commitment to us on the cross and He's not going back on His word. The deal is signed, sealed and paid for. We're blood bought children of the most high God. rest assured that His hold on you is much much more stronger than your hold on Him. 

He IS Jehovah Jireh! He IS Jehovah Rapha! He IS Jehovah Nissi! He IS Jehovah Shalom! He IS Jehovah Tsidkenu! He IS El Shaddai! He IS the great I AM! He isn't all this WHEN.... He IS all of it right now, right here, TODAY! Our God IS all powerful! Our God IS Love! Our God IS good! Praise God for His faithfulness! 

Feel like you've been a back sliding, good for nothing spawn of satan lately? feel like you're beyond redemption, beyond help, past the point of no return? God thinks differently. He sees you just the way Christ transformed you to be when you received him as Savior and Lord of your life. You ARE a highly favored child of the Most High, deeply loved, greatly blessed and divinely anointed by the creator of the universe! It's a PERMANENT state of being. The next time satan and his horde try to lie and trick you out of the living growing relationship you're destined to have with God, stare Him straight in the face and boldly confess that your GOD IS FAITHFUL! 

You're loved more than you know!

Rest In Him, He Cares For You

And He said, "My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest."                                                   

Exodus 33:14

Facing difficulties in your life? Frustration in your relationship? Hurt by those people you love? Failed in your exam? God loves you so much that He don't want you to dwell in all this thoughts, but dwell and be in His presence, for He will give you rest. 

            God said "My presence will go with you and I will give you rest" God presence is in you when Jesus has finished His work on the cross, and you have the rest that you are looking for. The rest that everybody is looking for. When the oceans rise and thunder roars, soar with Him above the storms, be still in Him and know that He is You God. 

             On Mount Sinai, Moses was desperate for a close and intimate relationship with God as close as posibble. King David wrote in his psalms, "My tears become my food in the morning and night", he was crying to God for an intimate relationship. All of the great people in the old testament were asking God for an intimate relationship with God, the closest that they could have is God be with them. Well, the Good News is, we have it and even better than what they could have, for the presence of God is in us. Our body is the temple of God. The temple that contain the presence of God in the time of Moses and Solomon in in us. What a great comfort. God sees you more precious than His own life when He is willing to die for you in the cross to restore your relationship with Him. He loves you so much that He do want want you to suffer in all the circumstances of lives but see that He want you to reign in your life together with Him. Praise God for His lovingkiness and mercy for they endures forever. 

             The God in you will help you and lead you through all the circumstances that you are going through now. His strength is made perfect in your weakness. Seek His grace and His faithfullness, for they are new every morning. God is good, and all the time God is good.

              Let the glory of God that is in you shine and reflect like a mirror. You will be transform more and more to be like Him when you look and focus your eyes upom Him. Go and spread His fragrance to everybody around you.




You are deeply loved, greatly blessed and Highly favoured,
