GOOD THINGS

RELIEVE EACH OTHER’S BURDENS :

Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury? – Luke 19:23

The Greek word for “usury” means primarily “a bringing forth, birth, or offsprings.” It is used metaphorically for the profit received by a lender.

The Law of Moses attempted to protect both borrower and lender. In Israel, borrowing and lending was not for big, commercial enterprises but rather to help the poor and needy who lacked everyday necessities. In lending, the lender had the opportunity to help the poor in need. It was an act of love in which the lender actually lifted a burden by helping his fellow Israelite through a crisis, but was forbidden to charge usury. To relieve the burden of the poor, debts were released every seven years and property restored during the year of Jubilee.

In the New Testament, the practice of lending money at interest seemed to be accepted as normal business procedure. Although Jesus never condemned interest directly, in general, He was hard on the improper attitude toward riches and on the oppression of the poor, just as was the Old Testament. The principle of making money from someone else’s hardship is not really a godly way of doing business. It was permitted, and even encouraged in this instance, but Deuteronomy 23:19-20 makes it clear that interest was never to be charged to a fellow Israelite. Today, that would be equivalent to never loaning money with interest to a fellow Christian. Borrowing money is not condemned in scripture unless you interpret Romans 13:8 as speaking of borrowing. However, the scriptures make it clear that borrowing is not God’s best. Deuteronomy 28:12 lists never having to borrow as a blessing, while Deuteronomy 28:44 lists borrowing as a part of the curse of the law. Proverbs 22:7 says, “The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.”

NEVER STUMBLE :

Great peace have those who love Your law, and nothing causes them to stumble. – Psalm 119:165, NKJV

Everything you need in this life is found in the Word of God-direction, healing, peace, joy and provision. No matter what situation you may be facing today, you can live in peace and victory and find your answer by studying God’s Word and applying it in your life!

Notice this verse says that the people who love God’s Word have great peace. How do you love God’s Word? By studying it, meditating on it and obeying His commands. That’s when you can walk in the fullness of His blessing. That’s when you will see His promises come to pass in your life.

When you hold God’s Word in your heart, there’s nothing that can take it away from you. There’s nothing that can make you stumble and fall. His Word is complete protection from offense, from worry, from bitterness, from fear. His Word is truth that sets you free and gives you His total peace! Love His Word and never stumble!

PURE SPIRITUAL POWER :

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. – Galatians 5:22-23

So many believers think of the fruit of the Spirit as little more than a passive list of pleasant qualities that can help improve their personalities. But they’re far greater than that! They’re pure spiritual power.

Love is so powerful, the scripture says, that it never fails. Patience is so powerful it cannot be stopped. No matter what the circumstances, it will not quit. Temperance is so powerful it can master all the unruly desires of your flesh.

The fruits of the Spirit are not weak; they’re strong. So strong all the demons of hell can’t stop them. So strong that if you’ll let them flow out of you, they’ll correct the problems in your life. They’ll keep you steadfast when all the people around you are falling down. They’ll keep you on your feet when governments fail and when the storms of life come.

We are living in dangerous days. There’s only one way you can make it through in victory. You must begin to release those powerful fruits of the Spirit God has placed inside you. Believe me, if you’re born again, they are there. Learn to yield to them and as 2 Peter 1:10 promised, you shall never fall!

STEP UP!

[Asa] took courage, and removed the abominable idols from all the land . . . ; and he restored the altar of the LORD. —2 Chronicles 15:8

When a woodchuck started eating our garage (well, just the trim), I bought a live trap with plans to transplant the little guy to a park. I baited it with an assortment of goodies and opened the trap door. The next morning, I was excited to see a little critter in my trap—until I noticed that it was no woodchuck. I had snared a skunk.
I went online to see how to untrap the skunk without having it . . . well, you know. The solutions were extremely cautious in their descriptions of how to protect yourself while releasing the animal. Plastic bags. Gloves. Tarps. Blankets. Goggles. The task looked daunting and dangerous.

Then my son-in-law Ewing stepped up. He simply walked over to the trap, opened the door, and coaxed our striped friend on its way with a few sprays from the garden hose.

Sometimes our fears can lead to inaction. We worry so much about protecting ourselves that we fail to simply step up. When King Asa learned that the Lord wanted him to remove the idols from Israel, he “took courage” (2 Chron. 15:8). He could have had a rebellion on his hands for doing this. But he stepped up, and as a result the nation rejoiced (v.15).

Facing a spiritual challenge? The Lord will help you step up with courage and trust Him for the outcome.

Let the road be rough and dreary,
And its end far out of sight,
Foot it bravely, strong or weary;
Trust in God and do the right.

Courage is fear that has said its prayers

FAITHFUL MAN

A FAITHFUL MAN WILL ABOUND WITH THE BLESSINGS.. Proverb 28 : 20.

Wen God has to get His works done He NEVER searches for More Talented , more Smart or more Gifted people but He looks for FAITHFUL Men ..

Our Problem is tat we look for talents , gifts & smartness in worldly sense in ppl.

Wen Paul was in his last days he told Timothy to commit the Gospel truth to the FAITHFUL MEN ( & not unto the very talented or Gifted people ). 2 Tim. 2:2.

Let it encourage u today .

U may not be tat smart , tat talented or tat Gifted person ,
u may not be able to preach or sing impressively like others ,

FAITHFUL in prayer life ,
FAITHFUL in seeking God,
FAITHFUL in honoring God,
FAITHFUL in Reading God’s word..

Faithful in caring for poor whoever comes on our way ,

FAITHFUL in giving God Wat Belongs to Him,

Faithful in leading A GODLY LIFE at our Work Place..

FAITHFUL in small small things ..

Bible says such Man will ABOUND With BLESSINGS ..

He will be RICHLY rewarded by God..

We dont have to worry about Gifts ..

ABILITY (Gifts) will flow as GOD Will find Us ” FAITHFUL ” in Every small things.

PRAYER FOR THE DAY :

“Do good to Your servant according to your word, LORD.” (Psalm 119:65)

Dear Lord God, I praise You. I honor You. The law of the Lord is perfect; reviving my soul this morning. Let the word of God fill my empty heart and bring me joy throughout the day and days ahead. May the light of God shine upon me and lead me to walk on the righteous path that guides me to reach the great reward in heaven! O God!

GOOD THINGS

God Loves To Give Good Things

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. “For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. “Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?  “Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent?

“If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! Matthew 7:7-11

God is a good great, wonderful and miracle working God who is always for and never against His people. They are they apple of His eyes and He desires their best. That is why He sent Jesus in the world to redeem and save them and to destroy all the works of the devil. Evil works including poverty, sickness, lack, disease,  despair, defeat and destruction.

God’s heart yearns for His people and He wants to and will do great things for them if they will only trust Him. He is their defense and stronghold and high tower. they are to run to Him and be saved, safe and healed. For He is their close friend who  sticks closer than a brother. He is their  true friend.

They are to go to Him with all their burdens and He will bare them for them. They are to rejoice and be happy in Him because He  loves them  and is their  true friend and high tower of protection. As a team with God they are  invincible. As He gives 100% Victory for Himself and for them. For His word is true:

“Do not fear, for you will not be ashamed;  Neither be disgraced, for you will not be put to shame;  For you will forget the shame of your youth,  And will not remember the reproach of your widowhood anymore   For your Maker is your husband, The LORD of hosts is His name; And your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel; He is called the God of the whole earth. For the LORD has called you Like a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, Like a youthful wife when you were refused,” Says your God.

“For a mere moment I have forsaken you, But with great mercies I will gather you. With a little wrath I hid My face from you for a moment; But with everlasting kindness I will have mercy on you,” Says the LORD, your Redeemer.

“For this is like the waters of Noah to Me; For as I have sworn That the waters of Noah would no longer cover the earth, So have I sworn That I would not be angry with you, nor rebuke you.: For the mountains shall depart And the hills be removed, But My kindness shall not depart from you, Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,” Says the LORD, who has mercy on you.

“O you afflicted one, Tossed with tempest, and not comforted, Behold, I will lay your stones with colorful gems, And lay your foundations with sapphires. I will make your pinnacles of rubies, Your gates of crystal, And all your walls of precious stones.: All your children shall be taught by the LORD, And great shall be the peace of your children. In righteousness you shall be established;

You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; And from terror, for it shall not come near you. Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me. Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake.:

“Behold, I have created the blacksmith Who blows the coals in the fire, Who brings forth an instrument for his work; And I have created the spoiler to destroy. No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their righteousness is from Me,”  Says the LORD. Isaiah 54:1-17

They are not to ever  let go ever of the hem of His  garment. There is nothing the devil can do to separate God and them if they keep their  eyes only on Him. He will always take them  through, no matter how long, how difficult or how painful the circumstances or situations might be. The ways of life are difficult in a world full of evil and corruption but God  will save them from all the evil around them. They are the apple of His eye and He will never forsake them or leave them alone to face difficulties by themselves.

He who was forgiven all of their  iniquities and healed all of their diseases is more than qualified to bless, protect and provide for them. He has  and will continue to heal their land. Man proposes but God disposes and promotes his beloved ones because there is a covenant between He and them that says He is their only Father and obliged to care of them. But God never does things out of obligation, as He  does them out of love.

They are not to  underestimate their  prayers, as God’s beloved, for they hold great weight in the Kingdom and do more than Kings have dreamt off. They are not to underestimate the power of their  prayers or their  time spent in prayer. If they do not have they  strength or desire to pray they are to ask God and He will give them  liberally. They are to ask with persistence and faith and they will receive all they desire if they  ask rightly, not to consume it upon their lusts.  For His word is true:

I will bless the LORD at all times;  His praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make its boast in the LORD;  The humble shall hear of it and be glad.  Oh, magnify the LORD with me,  And let us exalt His name together.

I sought the LORD, and He heard me,  And delivered me from all my fears.  They looked to Him and were radiant, And their faces were not ashamed.

This poor man cried out, and the LORD heard him,  And saved him out of all his troubles.  The angel of the LORD encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them.

Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good;  Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!  Oh, fear the LORD, you His saints!  There is no want to those who fear Him.  The young lions lack and suffer hunger;  But those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing. Psalm 34:1-10

The Lord hears the prayers of the humble who sought Him. He delivers me from all their fears and saves them out of all their troubles..  The angel of the LORD encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them. For those who looked to Him  were radiant, and their faces were not ashamed. As the LORD is good and blessed is the man who trusts in Him.  There is no want to those who fear Him. For while young lions lack and suffer hunger,  those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.

Although is very difficult to wait sometimes. They are to keep on praying and expecting many miracles. It is what God  expects of them. Faith in the hour of trouble as long as it may take. The blessings and benefits of the rainbow God has  promised to them are coming.  As faith is the substance of things hoped for the things not seen yet and bright is their  future. For their future is guaranteed in Christ He  will do it all what He is has  promised and He is able to fulfill all Him promises. They can expect many miracles and wonders to happen for they are all coming!  As God’s word is true:

“One man of you shall chase a thousand, for the LORD your God is He who fights for you, as He promised you.   “Therefore take careful heed to yourselves, that you love the LORD your God.

“Or else, if indeed you do go back, and cling to the remnant of these nations-these that remain among you-and make marriages with them, and go in to them and they to you,  “know for certain that the LORD your God will no longer drive out these nations from before you. But they shall be snares and traps to you, and scourges on your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from this good land which the LORD your God has given you.

“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 23:10-14

The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. They are to keep praying and are not to  let the devil come and steal their  peace and healing and provision and promises. They are all theirs and they are to keep them on deposit and draw on the bank account in heaven.

They are to walk in God’s presence and peace and promises and  spoken prophetic word to them. Walk in His person minute by minute! For God has much more for them. He  has much He  wants to share with them. He has  much for them if they will  just trust Him!

They can have His Kingdom! It’s theirs ! For He gives it to them! All the silver and good and diamonds are theirs! All the beauty of the knowledge of Him  is theirs! They are to ask and they  shall receive! They are to ask that their  joy may be full! Ask for He is the one who has opened the windows of heaven and is  pouring out a great and deep blessing to them  and their loved ones!

God will bless them greatly as He owns the cattle on a thousand hills. He owns all of the universes because He  made them. He is  the Great I Am! There is nothing impossible to Him  because He is their Creator God!
