Built to overcome

“For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you, we continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience”(Collossians 1:9-11). God’s people are soldiers, we’re built to withstand and prevail against the pressures and adversities of life. There’re no sissies in God’s army, don’t faint in the days of adversity. Be strong and tough for Christ, it makes no difference how fiercely you’re persercutated for the gospel, count it all joy. Some people endure with tears, but our theme scripture says to do so with joy fullness, always remember the contrary winds make your roots go deeper. The quality of your personality had to be tested. The bigger the trouble, the greater your victories, without pressures, your greatness may never manifest.

Manifest God's Love(Let His Love Be Expressed Through You)

Image
"Little children, let us not love (merely) in theory or speech but in deed and truth (in practice and sincerity)." 1 John 3:18   The proof that we know God's love is reflected in how we share it. Pause for a moment to think about this, Jesus was the manifestation of God's love, He was God's love in the flesh. To put it another way, He was the "body of love" .The gospels_ of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John show Him as the embodiment of love. Jesus didn't merely have love, he was love-made flesh! That's one of the most extraordinary truths ever revealed. Jesus is the perfect description of love. The expression of His love in and through you is a key indicator of spiritual growth. you're truly spiritually mature when the love of God is expressed more and more in your words, thoughts,  attitudes, and actions. Walking in love is the manifestation of the life and nature of Christ that are in your spirit. Praise God!

How Do You See? (Only Imagine Positive Outcomes)

"Now to him who can do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine,  according to his power that is at work within us"(Ephesians 3:20)      The Human spirit is very powerful, with tremendous, creative, and imaginative ability. Remember, man was created in the image of God, he looks like God and functions like God. That's why we say, "Your imaginative power is your creative ability."  Knowing this, therefore, you should only imagine positive outcomes. Refuse to worry about anything, worry helps you imagine the worst-case scenario, worry helps you imagine negative possibilities, and your imagination of those negative possibilities crystallises them. Worry helps make your fears possible. It's the reason God tells us not to worry or be anxious about anything (Philippians 4:6). Never imagine negative things, What you imagine is what becomes. Keep your mind on the Word and let it control your expectations.
