IF GOD BE FOR ME WHO CAN BE AGAINST ME

Scripture Reading 
The Book of Ruth


Ruth was a stranger in a foreign land, she knew no one except her mother in law.  The God of heaven,creator of heaven and earth was new to her. Yet she believed that whatever she would face in Judah is far better than what Moab had to offer her.   Moab is her home country; she knew nothing else, yet she fund in Naomi a belief in a God that she could trust more than any gods that was in Moab.  Although Ruth did not know where she was going and what would happen to her she went hoping for the best.  Ruth allowed her faith to take her from the unknown to destiny.  She put aside all that she believed in, all that she was expecting out of life; she used the opportunity to start a new life and ran with God.  She did not think twice of letting go of the past, in order to embrace the future. 

Tonight Lord I ask you to give me the faith like Ruth, who pressed through every obstacle that was in her way to embrace her destiny.  I wonder what would happen if we just let go and trust God the way Ruth did.  She was an ordinary woman who was in extreme circumstances; a woman who had every right to give up on life, but instead of giving up she trusted that God would make a way for her.

Whatever the circumstance you cannot give up, you must press beyond the pain, press beyond the shame, the guilt, press beyond hopelessness, press beyond your expectations of life and hold on to the truth of God's words and embrace destiny.  There is only one way to survive in tough times, it’s to press beyond your pain.  In spite of all you face, your hopes and dreams that are yet to be realized you must press past your pain.  Engulf yourself with the presence of God; crave His presence more than anything else. Sing to the Lord at all times, let His praises continually be on your lips and meditate on His word in your heart.   The word of God is your weapon,and praise is your defence.  Nothing can overcome you when you are wrapped up and entangled in the presence of the Lord.  Seek the Lord while he may be found don't wait until there is a crisis in your life to praise Him.  Praise Him when you are happy, praise Him in the morning, praise Him during the day, praise Him during the night continue to praise the Lord and don't worry about anything. If you continue to praise the Lord you would be surprise to see how far the Lord takes you in little time.  God is in control.

 Praise Him, Praise Him, Praise Him, Praise Him at all times. Don't give up!

Meditate on Words that Bring Life.

H ow you think about life results in the quality of life you live. Your thoughts are important, so meditate on words that bring life. In spite of all the obstacles I have faced in my life, one of the things that have kept me going are these words the Lord spoke to me when I was much younger “you have creative power within you, and everything you touch will prosper.” These words have been my guide in my ups and downs. I held on to these words as truth and life. I believe everything God has spoken to me and I know His words will never return void. I choose to meditate on words which bring life.  As a Christian I choose to meditate on the words of God. I also listen to godly-men and woman who are leading successful lives based on biblical principles. I read books and listen to audio messages which fosters positive encouragements and personal developments. I also write my own affirmations and speak positive things over myself at times. Most times than o...

Legacy

Jeremiah 29:10-13 10 For thus saith the Lord, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.  11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.  12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.  13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. Most people in life can trace their family line as far back as four generations. Yet some of us don’t know our biological parents much more to know our grand-parents. Ever since I was a child I always heard my mom and her sisters talked about their parents as if it was some kind of mysterious fairy-tale.  Though my mother and her three siblings are of the same mother and father, it is a mystery to me how two of them ended up with different last n...

The Next Step

Most times God uses the least expected person to set His plan in motion for your life. Sometimes we get so caught up in our expectation of others that we missed what God is trying to do. You know what I'm talking about, we get angry when the person we expect to show up for us but don't. We get angry when a family member or friend who has the “key” to the door we want to get in still they refuse to open the door.  We develop an entitlement complex. Because we believe that they should give us what we want when we want it, and how you want it; without considering whether or not God desires for them to be a part of His plan for us. God does not share His glory with anyone. Therefore, He will not allow anyone to assist you who will try to take His glory; nor will He allow you to see anyone else as God in your life.  He alone is God. When He open doors, God wants you and me to recognize that it could only be Him.  Don't allow your frustration with people t...
