DISCOVER HIS PLANS!
'There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off' Proverbs 23:18 (NKJV) Hope will enable you to have Shalom concerning your future. Yehovah always has plans for you - you just need to discover them! His plans for your life and your future are secure. His plans will give you satisfaction; they will satisfy every dream and longing, give you hope and prosperity, they will fit you and your personality. However you will need to take the time to seek and discover His plan for your life. This knowledge should stir you to seek Him in your life, should grow a desire to...
YEHOVAH LOOKS
'The eyes of Yehovah search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him.' 2 Chronicles 16:9 (NLT) In the days of King Asa, Yehovah was looking - roaming to and fro - searching across the earth for committed followers. He still searches the earth today. He is looking for one life, fully surrendered to Him, that He can use to make a difference - one life that can be used to change history. Yehovah uses anyone who is willing to be used; people of any age, background or race. He uses men and women, educated and uneducated, old and young, rich and poor, to...
WHAT YOU FOCUS ON WILL GROW
'For as he (a man) thinks in his heart, so is he.' Proverbs 23:7 (NKJV) No-one can think negatively, but live positively. Your mind must line up with Yehovah's Word, in order to enjoy His blessings. A great lesson to learn is that what you choose to focus on will grow. The thoughts that you feed will become stronger, and what you starve of attention and focus will become weak. If you intentionally starve your fears of your time, focus and energy, you will find that they start to fade. The Bible says to 'take captive every thought to make it obedient to Yeshua' (2 Corinthians 10:5). If you...
HONOURING AUTHORITY
'For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.' 1 Samuel 15:23 (NKJV) Mankind is born into rebellion. Many feel it is their right to sit in judgment of those in authority over them. Belie are no exception, critiquing the choir and criticising the sermon. It would be far better to enter into the worship experience and let the Word of Yehovah sit in judgment of us! Rebelling against Yehovah leads to nothing but trouble. As our commanding General, Yehovah says, 'Get into ranks and follow Me. I will not lead you into temptation, and I will deliver you...
SALT AND LIGHT
'Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven' Matthew 5:16 (NKJV) Have you ever felt that you weren't as good a believer as someone who stands up and preaches to a stadium of thousands, or someone who gives their life to be a missionary serving the poor? Don't judge yourself by someone else's calling! Some are called in this way, but most go about their daily life, being salt and light in the world around them. Remember that Yeshua didn't say,'Go and be salt,' or 'be a light'. Instead, he said 'You are the salt of the earth!You are...
THE JOY OF YEHOVAH
'Then our mouth was filled with laughter and our tongue with joyful shouting' Psalm 126:2 (NASB) There is a kind of fullness of hope, which can only be described as joy. This joy is vital to life on earth; it may look like a smile, or sound like laughter, but true and unhindered joy is powerful, and can only be found in relationship with Yehovah. Trusting Him is the secret to joy; in all circumstances, in all situations. When your eyes are fixed on Him, when it is He you adore, then your spirit is filled with joy, despite what else may be happening in your life. The joy of Yehovah is where...
