GOD – Not only is HE Almighty, but HE is also your Father.

Not only is HE your Father but HE also desires to be your closest friend.

And further have you ever thought: God passionately wants YOU as HIS friend!!!

Wow, isn’t that mind boggling?

Here’s the thing: All of God’s children have unlimited and unbiased access to Him, but the proximity at which we are with Him is completely determined by us. Here are 3 keys to God’s friendship by Pastor Kim Dsouza.

Why am I not getting promoted?

Why am I not getting promoted?

by | Jul 17, 2023 | Christian Walk, Leadership

So did it happen again? Thought that you deserved that promotion but got passed over? And now you’re angry at God?

First things first; know that GOD IS FOR YOU. And it is His will for you to be promoted. Because God delights in the prosperity of His children (Psalm 35:27)

If that’s the case then what’s wrong? Why are you still missing out?

Well, let’s learn 3 characteristics from the life of Daniel in the Bible that caused him to get promoted.

I am Just Looking!

I am Just Looking!

by | Jul 10, 2023 | Christian Walk, Leadership

I often hear the phrase, “I am just looking”, to which one means that they are doing a harmless act.

Girls, purity starts in our hearts and not in our actions. So we may not be acting on the thoughts, but if our heart is not pure, it means we are struggling with lust.

“But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”
(Matthew 5:28)

In the above verse, Jesus explains that not touching or talking but just looking is also lusting.

Lust starts with looking; looking then turns to meditating, which then turns to action.

That’s right! Even “just looking” is harmful.

Just Looking

Here are some ways you can remain pure in your heart and actions:

1. Renew your mind daily:

Reading your word and being intentional at seeking God will help you overcome the temptations of the flesh daily. Find scriptures that will strengthen your faith and help you overcome every wrong thought. The Word that you have meditated and believed will give you the strength to stand strong in the face of temptation.

2. Remember, you are not alone:

Can’t believe the lie that you are the only one getting tempted. Many struggles with lust. So it is important that you get plugged in with a good community of Christian girls that will encourage you, pray with you and lead you to Jesus.

3. Flee from sexual sin:

Get rid of the bad influence in your life—the people, the place and the things that drive you away from God. It could be certain friends, movies, or even certain books that take your heart and mind in the wrong direction. Be bold enough to bid farewell to whatever takes you away from God because it is not worth it to lose your God-destiny.

4. Remember, it is not impossible:

It is possible to practice purity because, as born-again believers, we are spirit beings. If we live by the spirit, we should also walk in the spirit and practice the fruit of the spirit, i.e., “self-control”.

5. Pursue the reward of purity:

Keep reminding yourself it is worth it to practice purity because Jesus promises in Matthew 5:8, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God”.

If you are struggling with lust, let me encourage you there is hope, and we believe your future is great. Write back to us if you need prayers or want to get connected to our community.

Do these 3 Things Well to Attract King’s Favour

Do these 3 Things Well to Attract King’s Favour

by | Jul 2, 2023 | Christian Walk, Leadership

Hello precious Soar Girls, through this post, I want to share with you three things that you can do, and do WELL to attract the favour of God upon your life like no other.

Remember a moment of God’s favour can bring a lifetime of untold blessings upon your life, just like it did for Esther.

Esther was an orphan and was brought up by her uncle Mordecai. As a young maiden, God opened the door for her to get access into King Ahasuerus’ palace. From being lost to being elevated to the king’s palace – isn’t that our journey as well? God, in His mercy cleansed us from our unrighteousness and made us sit in high places with Him.

But Esther didn’t stop here. She further did something that made the king choose her over every other girl to reign with him as queen.

Esther

Here are the 3 things she did well:

1/ Honour well

Esther, along with other young girls, was taken into the king’s palace into the care of Hegai, the custodian of the women.
But the Bible says, Esther pleased Hegai!
Now the young woman pleased him, and she obtained his favor; so he readily gave beauty preparations to her, besides her allowance (Esther 2:9).
I believe the way Esther pleased Hegai was through her honour of him. And, your honour for a person is evident when you listen to that person!
Honour God, by obeying His Word. Honour Him by your gratitude. Honour the Holy Spirit with your surrender, and you will see how God’s favour will be drawn towards you.

2/ Prepare well

Each young woman’s turn came to meet the king after 12 months of preparation, six months with the oil of myrrh and six months with perfumes and preparations for beautifying women (Esther 2:12).
Thus prepared, each young woman went to the king (Esther 2:13).
How prepared are we when we enter the presence of God? Do we come expecting? Do we smell of faith? How do we come before Him during our corporate time of worship as a church? Do we reach early in the house of God? Are we dressed with a garment of praise? Do we come with a testimony?
Never take your King for granted. Your preparation is the key to your elevation!

3/ Give well

Every young woman who went to meet the king was given whatever she desires to take with her from the women’s quarters to the king’s palace (Esther 2:13)
When it was Esther’s turn to be taken into the royal palace, she took nothing but what the King liked, as advised by Hegai.
Esther gave the king what he liked and not what she liked.
Her giving pleased the king!
Don’t go empty handed before God. Don’t give Him out of a religious ritual, but may your giving to God be out of revelation. Give Him sacrificially. Give Him with joy! And He is able to make all grace abound to you, so that you may not lack anything (2 Corinthians 9:8).
Go ahead, try your King!

WARNING! ⚠️ Don’t Fight Losing Battles – 3 Checkpoints

WARNING! ⚠️ Don’t Fight Losing Battles – 3 Checkpoints

by | Jun 19, 2023 | Christian Walk, Leadership

As a child of God, life will throw two battles at you. One is where you will have an assured victory because God backs you. And though it may sometimes look hard, God will win it and bring great spoils for you that an entire lifetime will not be sufficient to enjoy that spoil.

And the second one is where the battle was never given to you to win. In fact, it was never meant to be fought by you. You invited it on yourself, and God backs off. This is where you will be plundered and bruised badly.

The devil’s agenda is to drag you into battles that are not meant to be fought by you.

WARNING! ⚠️ Don’t Fight Losing Battles

The first-ever battle that was fought in the Bible is mentioned in the book of Genesis, where four kings fought against five. And the Bible says in Genesis 14:11-12, “Then they (the four kings) took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their provisions, and went their way. They also took Lot, Abram’s brother’s son who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.”

Did you see that? They also took Lot, Abram’s nephew, who went from being a rich free man to now being bruised and dragged like a slave.

So how did this happen? Here are 3 checkpoints to know whether you are fighting losing battles:

 1) When you venture into areas where the Word of God is not going

Don’t enter battles where the Word of God says a definite ‘NO’. For instance, when you know that the Word of God clearly says that light cannot match with darkness, yet you are drawn to relationships with unbelievers, that’s a losing battle!

Lot made the same mistake- he chose to live in a land whose people hated God and didn’t walk in His ways and ended up in trouble.

Every time you move away from the Word of God, you get into losing battles. Lot was blessed because of his proximity to Abraham, a man who was carrying God’s Word. And the moment he decided to distance himself (Gen 13:11), he ended up in a battle he was never meant to fight.

2) When you settle for ‘little’ compromises

The Bible says, “Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain and pitched his tent even as far as Sodom.” (Genesis 13:12).

And in the very next chapter, we see that they captured Lot, Abram’s nephew who was living in Sodom at the time (Genesis 14:12). You see how Lot went from pitching his tent near Sodom to actually living there and got dragged into a battle that he wasn’t meant to fight?

You may think that a little bit of compromise is okay. You may say, “Oh, my friends smoke and drink, whereas I don’t”. But you’re still near them. Watch out! It’s only a matter of time before you’ll be dragged in.

3) When you make choices based on your senses

The Bible says that Lot lifted his eyes and saw all the plains of Jordan, that it was well watered like the garden of the Lord. (Gen 13:10). While Sodom may have looked like the best option based on one’s natural senses, it was destined for destruction. When you make choices or decisions based on your senses, it may temporarily make you feel that you are on the winning side, but again it’s a losing battle that you are fighting.

So what battles does God want you to fight?

Well, God wants you to fight the good fight of faith(1Timothy 6:12). God wants you to enter battles where you have heard Him and are standing on His Word. And, to fight the good fight of faith, you need to be close to the Word because faith can come only from the Word.

And that’s when you win effortlessly!

Stop Limiting God by Your Thoughts

Stop Limiting God by Your Thoughts

by | Jun 12, 2023 | Christian Walk, Leadership

Have you gone through a cycle of negative thoughts that kept you low and made you feel  ? All you could think was negative, and how this may not happen, and how that may not happen. These thoughts paralysed you in your mind and made you feel incapable of doing anything.

If that’s you, stop! Don’t kill yourself with those thoughts!

How you think is how your life will be, and your life will be shaped by your thoughts.

“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” Proverbs 4:23

Get up and get ready to change your thought life: from negative thoughts to “God thoughts”.

Limit God

The Word of God says, “Seek the Lord while he may be found; call upon him while he is near; let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
Isaiah 55:6-9

God is inviting each one of us to get aligned with His thoughts. Stop thinking so low about yourself. Stop thinking that you are nothing or good for nothing. God never creates a “good for nothing”.

If you feel you are not good at something, surrender it to God and watch how He will make you good at it. God says, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness“. 2 Corinthians 12:9

I remember when I was going through certain difficult situations, these negative thoughts would take over my mind. These thoughts imprisoned me and made me think that I do not have a good future.

Your thoughts have the power to limit you and subtly destroy your life if it goes out of control. The enemy uses these moments of uncontrolled negative thoughts even to bring in thoughts of suicide.

It’s about time to change your thoughts to “God thoughts”

Here’s a practical tip to overcome all your negative thoughts- write down every negative thought that has been constantly bothering you. Now cancel those thoughts and ask God for forgiveness for thinking so low about yourself. Then write down the opposite of all the negative thoughts, and find scriptures that align with the Truth.

Example: your thoughts may say, “I am dumb; I am not intelligent like others.”

Pray: Lord, I ask forgiveness for calling myself dumb and comparing. I cancel this negative thought over my life. And I  thank You that I am intelligent and brilliant. I have the wisdom of God. I have the mind of Christ. God is in me and with me; therefore, I have wisdom.

Bible verse: “But we have the mind of Christ.” 1 Corinthians 2:16

“With God are wisdom and might; he has counsel and understanding.“Job 12:13

Example: “I am not lucky. I have bad luck all the time.”

Pray: Lord, I cancel such words over my life. I don’t believe in luck, but I believe that you have blessed me and given me favour above others.

Bible verse: “For you bless the righteous, O Lord; you cover him with favor as with a shield.”Psalm 5:12

Example: I never get promoted. My boss doesn’t like me and favors others.

Pray: Lord Jesus, I bless my boss, and I thank You for my promotion doesn’t come from any man but from You, Lord.

Bible verse:
Psalm 75:6-7 says, “For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west nor from the south. But God is the judge: He putteth down one and setteth up another.”

Example: Whatever I do, doesn’t count. I do something, but it doesn’t stand out from the rest, or it goes in vain.

Bible verse:
“The LORD will command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand, and He will bless you in the land which the LORD your God is giving you.”
Deuteronomy 28:8

Pray: I thank You, Lord, that everything I put my hands into will prosper!

What are some negative thoughts that are constantly bothering you? Write to us; we would love to pray for you and send personalised promises of God for those thoughts.
