“Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.”
Acts 2:47 KJV
Praise works magic
Praise causes me to have favor with God
Praise even extends the favor to other people that might not willingly want to favor me to do so
Prayer:
Father cloth me daily in praise. I receive a fresh garment of praise daily
“For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick 🙄let another take.”
– Acts 1:20
Judas was destined to be a bishop but he never became what destiny intended for him.. You are not your indispensable. It’s a privilege to be called and chosen by God to serve. Don’t play games which such honor bestowed as God can always find another
God has destined us for greatness but we must take responsibility for it to happen. How? By staying focused on the Word and working out our salvation daily.
Vs 25. Transgressions can make us fall out
of destiny if prompt repentance not initiated
Be quick to return to God even if you slip
Have a great weekend
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 1 Cor 3:16
In Africa and especially Cameroon (my great Fatherland); Growing up oops! I played church. Myself and kid brother will go to church where we were sure it will close soonest so we could be back home to eat or play. You know what they say “being a child and being into childish way”. It was a fun thing for me; can you relate with that?
Coming of age, I experienced a love that knew no wrong. It just brings you to a place that it’s not about men and expectations, it’s about a love that you can’t help but be true to despite falling and falling and yet waking at mercies feet.
I discovered from moving from church to church which we have lots in Cameroon, (I didn’t move to many per say but visited other churches; we are body, so these have different names (parts); somehow it was like a vague repetition; so much copy and paste, so much do’s and don’ts. It’s like you are torn between which to follow, what to wear or not wear and how they represent the church that we are not the building that we attend service in.
The focus turned to the building and impressing other or making an impression, it moved from being a temple where the Almighty can dwell, move and have being in; to impact others lives to taking care of the floors, walls, and designs (oh nothing is wrong in making the physical good even as the real temple is in top form)” What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 1 Cor 6:19”
Saying on Sunday you want revival and on Monday can’t even find your bible? Playing church!
Having a form of religion and denying the Power thereof? Playing church!
Have you being playing church? It’s time to be a church
Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.”
Acts 1:18 KJV
Anything gotten through treachery will not last. Integrity is the way to go.
Choose integrity over everything today. The wait might be long but it will be worth it.
Good morning all😘
Was having my Bible study time today and learned these 3 ways God answers prayers. God answers prayers in many different ways as He is a God with many sided wisdom. However I will only mention the 3 that stood out today in my bible study this morning.
God answers prayers by
1. Dreams. Our dreams our unique to us and dependent on what is going on in our lives and also how we relate with God and we also can draw reference from bible similarities in our dreams
2. Signs. This clearly again depends on what you asked God and how well you can interpret signs from God. It could just be someone advising you or chatting with you and mention in passing what you prayed for. This requires that you be alert and spiritually sensitive
3. Prophets. Yes prophets. However this must align with what’s already in your spirit and to the Word of God
Kindly share with me the ways God has used to answer you.
Scriptural inspiration: 1 Sam 28:6
Have a blessed day❤️😍
I sat in a bus the other day and at the next stop a loud and grumpy old lady came and sat next to me. She squeezed into the seat and bumped me with her numerous bags.
The person sitting on the other side of the bus got upset, and asked me why i didn’t speak up or say something.
I responded with a smile:
“It is not necessary to be rude or argue over something so insignificant, the journey together is so short. I get off at the next stop.”
Waking up this morning during my devotion, those words got me thinking and I want to share my thoughts with you.
*”It is not necessary to argue over something so insignificant, our journey together is so short”*
If each one of us realized that our time here is so short; that to darken it with quarrels, futile arguments, not forgiving others, discontentment and a fault finding attitude would be a waste of time and energy.
Did someone break your heart? *Be calm, the journey is so short.*
Did someone provoke or intimidate you? *Be calm, forgive; the journey is so short.*
Did someone betray, bully, cheat or humiliate you? *Be calm, forgive; the journey is so short.*
Whatever troubles anyone brings us, let us remember that *our journey together is so short.*
No one knows the duration of this journey. No one knows when their stop will come in real life. *Our journey together is so short.*
Let us cherish friends and family. Let us be respectful, kind and forgiving to each other. Let us be filled with gratitude and gladness.
If I have ever hurt you, I ask for your forgiveness. If you have ever hurt me, you already have my forgiveness.
After all, *Our Journey Together is so Short!*
Happy Sunday to you lovely ladies
