Struggling With Fear? Ask Yourself These 2 Questions

Struggling With Fear? Ask Yourself These 2 Questions

Struggling with fear?

Dealing with insecurities?

Worrying?

Ask yourself these 2 important questions:
Who am I?

Whose hand is holding me?

You are a son of God. That’s who you are.

Oh, but I’m going through a storm..”

You may be going through a storm, but don’t you know that you are in the boat with Jesus? Is there a storm that can sink your God? You are more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus.

You are backed by a God who has never failed. Your God is too faithful to fail you. Even as you are reading this, He is looking at your heart.

He understands every single fear that you are battling in your life. And He is standing strong before you and telling you, “I am with you. You can never fail”.

Fear,Faith

But if I have messed up?!”
Even if you have messed up, God is saying, He will work all things for your good. Everything! Even if your ship is breaking, He will make sure that He puts you in a bigger ship.

So be fully convinced that you can never drown, and you will never drown in your fears. Because what you are fully convinced of, is where your life will head. Not partial conviction, not I think or maybe, but fully convinced.

So be fully convinced that you will never fail. Be fully convinced that the Lord will not put His daughter to shame ever.

Be fully convinced that He is desiring to see you filled with His glory, not just spiritually, but in every area of your life.

God wants to make sure that His daughters are shining bright, escaping every wicked plan of the enemy, carrying His power, and being God’s hands on this earth — God’s hand of power, God’s hand of healing.

If you think that you will see lack, that’s where your life will head. But be fully convinced that you shall never see lack in your life.

Be fully convinced that you shall not see sickness in your life. But, if you are thinking how is it even possible, we live in a world where there is sickness and it will come, then that’s where your life is headed.

So, in this season make it your highest priority to know who you are and who is backing you. When you understand this, you will soon realize how small your fears really are.
Shalom.

What to Do When You See a Lack?

What to Do When You See a Lack?

When Jesus went to see Lazarus, it looked like a dead situation. Lazarus had been in the tomb for 4 days, the place was already stinking, and everyone around had given up hope. But do you know what Jesus did? He walked right into that dead situation, lifted His eyes to heaven, and said, “Wow, heaven is full of life.” 

When you see an impossibility or a lack, where do you look? If your job or your family is where you look to for your supply, you will always see lack. Instead, if you can look at your impossibility or lack and just look to heaven, you will see differently. 

lack

Because Jesus did the same! When the disciples came to Jesus worried about feeding the crowd of five thousand men, plus women and children, they were overwhelmed. The demand was huge and the supply was small. They saw the lack, but Jesus lifted His eyes and saw the supply of heaven. He thanked the Father, and heaven’s supply crushed the demand in front of Him.

Think about Elijah. The Bible says there was a severe drought in Israel. It had not rained, the land was dry and everything looked hopeless. But Elijah was not looking down, and counting the lack around him. He was looking at the sky. And God sent a crow to bring food to Elijah because His eyes were on heaven, and from there came the supply. That’s your God. 

Where is your focus? People, situation or God?

God can use you when your eyes are fixed on Him; He can use anything and anybody to bless you. But if your eyes are on people or on your situation, it won’t work. 

How do you know that your focus is truly on heaven and not on your situation? The test is your level of praise and thanksgiving. If thankfulness is coming from your mouth, then you know your focus is in heaven. Because that’s what Jesus did too. He thanked God when He looked at the abundance of heaven.

But if your gaze is on your situation, then it will be hard for you to praise with your mouth. So that’s the test—how’s your level of praise? This season, fix your gaze on heaven, no matter what your situation is.

Too Busy to Pray? Here’s a Gentle Wake Up Call.

Too Busy to Pray? Here’s a Gentle Wake Up Call.

How has your prayer life been lately? Have you been praying daily, or has it been a while since you last prayed? If it’s been some time, I have good news for you today, it’s never too late to start praying!

Please don’t condemn yourself if you haven’t been consistent in prayer. The Word of God says “For though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again…” (Proverbs 24:16). It’s okay if you missed many days, but today is the day to get back to it. His mercies are new every morning.

A girl kneeling by a window in morning light, praying to God, doing daily prayer, faith, and devotion.

Prayer Isn’t Performance, It’s Relationship

Prayer is an intimate relationship where we commune to God. Sometimes we may feel like we run out of words. Other times, we come with a long list of needs. But here’s the truth, prayer isn’t about performance or perfection. It’s not a checklist or a ritual.

Instead, it’s a daily conversation, sometimes full of words, sometimes filled with silence. But always sacred. Always fully depending on Him, His Word, His voice, and His guidance.

Prioritize daily conversations with God, not just speaking, but listening too. Let your relationship with Him come before everything else.

Daniel: A Life Set Apart by Prayer

Daniel had ungodly people around him and he served a king who did not believe in the one true God. Daniel was also a leader and he was definitely busy. Yet, he was found praying not once but three times a day. Which means, he intentionally set himself apart.

The Word of God says in Daniel 6:10-11, “Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before. Then these men went as a group and found Daniel praying and asking God for help.”

Imagine, Daniel heard the king’s decree that if he prayed he would be killed for it, yet he did not miss prayer! How often do we delay prayer because of work, distractions, or excuses?

If death didn’t stop Daniel from praying, what’s stopping us?

Start Now, God Is Just a Whisper Away

You don’t have to pray long, complicated prayers.

Here’s a simple way to begin:

“Hello, Daddy God. It’s been a while since I said hi…”

or

“Hey Dad… thank You for never leaving my side. You’re so good.”

That’s it. He’s waiting to hear from you; no pressure, just love.

Is Sex Before Marriage Really Okay? What Nobody Tells You…

Is Sex Before Marriage Really Okay? What Nobody Tells You…

A: Is it ok to sleep with the man I’m dating?

S: No

A: But we’re going to get married. We’ve been together for a long time and even live together. Isn’t he almost like my husband?

S: Still no.

This is a conversation we had with a young girl, about her relationship and whether sex before marriage is okay.

We live in a world where what feels right to people is often not right in God’s eyes. Today, society says it’s “okay” to sin. No one seems to care or notice, but sin still separates us from God. It hardens our hearts and creates distance between us and Him.

 

Marriage,Sex

What Did Jesus Say?

When Jesus met the Samaritan woman at the well, He asked her to bring her husband. She replied, “I have no husband.” Jesus affirmed her honesty, saying: “You are right when you say you have no husband. The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband.” (John 4:18)

This shows us that simply living with someone, dating for years, or acting like you’re married does not make that person your husband. Marriage requires a covenant, a commitment before God and witnesses, sealed with vows.

Sex outside of that covenant is sin.

If You’ve Already Made Mistakes

Maybe you’ve already crossed that line. The good news? You still have a chance to make things right before God. You can repent, ask for forgiveness, and start fresh.

If you desire God’s blessing on your marriage, it begins with honoring Him now. Marriage is a beautiful gift from God, and it is worth waiting for. You are so precious, worth being cherished and waited for, no matter what your past looks like.

Even King Ahab, one of the most wicked kings in the Bible, found God’s attention when he repented (1 Kings 21:27-29). Repentance isn’t just for “church people” or “holy people”, it’s for all of us. God’s grace is never a license to keep sinning. Grace is the power to overcome sin and live a new life in Christ.

It’s never too late to start over with God again.

The One Thing You Should NEVER Do!

The One Thing You Should NEVER Do!

Girl, can you say this with me? 

Never! Never doubt the Word of God.

You can doubt your feelings, you can doubt your experience. You can even doubt your friends.

But never doubt the Word of God.

But sometimes when we go through a problem for a long time, we may begin to doubt the Word of God. We may begin to wonder why is God not working in my life?

word

Maybe you see that in a particular area you have not received your breakthrough for a long time. The devil will even lie to you that God is ok with you being blessed in all the other areas, but this area He has spared. 

That’s what he said to Eve. He showed her how God had given them the entire garden but spared that one tree. 

Yet Romans 8:32 says, He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?” 

When Joshua and the Israelites were finally in the promised land, we see Joshua testifying how not one Word that the Lord spoke had failed.

“Behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth. And you know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one thing has failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spoke concerning you. All have come to pass for you; not one word of them has failed.” (Joshua 23:14)

So when you don’t see a breakthrough in an area, you need to get into the Word and start reasoning and asking like Gideon. 

“Gideon said to Him, “O my lord, if the LORD is with us, why then has all this happened to us?” (Judges 6:13)

You need to investigate and wrestle with God asking, “My God is good; He gave me His Son Jesus, and if I am not seeing a breakthrough in my life in this area what is it that is blocking it?”

And you will find the answers not from your friends or Google, but from the time you spend reading the Word of God. 

This is where you will receive the keys to open every stubborn door in your life. 

Remember, if there is one thing that is unshakeable it is the Word of God. This is the only foundation that will stand the storms that come your way and make you overcome it.

Why God hates Pity, and Why You Should Too

Why God hates Pity, and Why You Should Too

One day, in my quiet time with the Lord I heard Him say, “Tell My children that I don’t deal in pity. I am a God of mercy. Pity is for orphans, but mercy is for sons.

Pity is a result of an emotion, which is there today and gone tomorrow. But His Mercy never ends. They are new every morning. (Lam 3:22-23)

Do you know one of the Hebrew root words for mercy is Rakh-am, which means, mother’s womb. God gives us mercy because we are from His womb.

You are not an orphan that was picked from the streets. You are a son who was once lost, but now is found. And that’s why the angels in heaven celebrate when someone gets born again, because the son who was lost is now found. 

pity

Sadly most of us like to roll in self-pity. 

We grumble and we complain about the things and situations in our life that we think we don’t deserve. And at other times we look at somebody else’s life and complain that they have what we deserve.

If only I was born in a rich family. 

If only I had a platform. 

If only I was pretty like her.

And we walk around carrying that victim mentality, trying to win sympathy from others. 

Now that’s pity and God hates it, because when you speak the language of pity the focus is on nothing but you alone. 

Pity will make you feel miserable. 

Pity will steal everything good that God has blessed you with. 

Pity will even push you to hurt yourself. 

Listen, God doesn’t want you to come to Him begging for things in your life but He wants you to walk to Him as a son who knows what he wants. 

Mercy is knowing that the Father’s hand is over your life. 

Mercy is knowing that no matter what happens, God will work it for my good. 

It’s time to get rid of every self pity and victim mentality and walk with heads held high knowing that you are a son, and that the God you serve is a merciful God.
