I'm Praising the Lord through my Storm..........

Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord, you his servants; praise the name of the Lord. Let the name of the Lord be praised, both now and forevermore. From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the Lord is to be praised. Psalm 113

God is looking for men and women who are going to be consistent and persistent in their faith-walk. People who are going to praise Him, regardless of their situations; can He count on you?

There are times in our lives that are so difficult that we’ll be tempted to believe that our efforts are vain, and we may be tempted to get discouraged, but those would be the time to trust God, and take Him at His word. Spend quiet time in meditation to find out what He has to say about your situations. The Bible says. “If we endure with Him, we will also reign with Him”. 2 Timothy 2:12; “Being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience and joyfully giving thanks to the father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light.” Colossians 1:11’12

Praise the Lord friend, praise God because He commands us to do so, He desires our praise and He most definitely deserves our praise. God is Sovereign He is the Alpha and the Omega; He is “just” in all His ways. Praise Him through your hardships; praise him through your victories. He takes pleasures in his people praise (Psalms 149:4). He takes pleasure in those who fear (honor/respect/trust) Him and those who hope in His steadfast love. (Psalms 147:11). He fulfills the desire of all who fear Him; He also hears their cry and saves them. (Psalms 145:19.

Are you going through a storm today? Look upon God and not around you. We are serving “The living God.” He is willing and able to change your situation if you just let Him in. Open the door and the eyes of your heart and He will come in. The presence of the Lord always brings change. Your situation will have to change.

For more on the subject of perseverance read: Romans 8:25; Galatians 6:9; Hebrews 3:14 Psalm 37:7-9; Hebrews 10:36; James 1:2-4 and 12; Romans 5:3-4 ; Revelation 21:7; 2 Timothy 2 ;12-13 .

Be fortified, be courageous and please be patient, in Jesus name!

Praise the Lord!

God's Plan for Success #2

Most people would tell you that success is about how much money they have earned and how many degrees they have gathered, and others would argue that success is about how long they have been married and how many kids they have. Is that real success? Having your career and relationship dreams come true? Getting all you ever want? Earning enough money so that you never have to work again? Allow me to tell you that tell that real success is more fulfilling than wealth. Success is the realization of the will of God for your life. It's not how much money you have at the bank or under your mattress. It's not how healthy you are. It's not how many friends you have or how many cars, planes, houses and yachts you have acquired. Success is nothing more and nothing less, than the realization of the will of God for your life.

Friend, you cannot know success unless you pursue the will of God. Most people do not know the will of God before they never asked him what His will was for their lives. They don't ask because they are not ready to do it. They are afraid to ask because they do not want to be accountable for doing His will. The Bible say in Matthew 7:7 "Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you." Do you want to know God's will? Do you want your heart's desire to come true? Ask God to direct your path. He will do it through His Word. The Word of God is the Will of God. Also, do not forget to pray. Prayer works. Prayer is still the best tool when it comes to communication with God.cFriend, when you completely rely on God, He will direct your path and only then will you know real success.

Let God lead you. Let God show you His plan for your success. Depend on God and know a peace you never thought possible.

Praise the Lord!
