How Can I Keep Studying My Bible?

Hello Readers & Followers,

How are you today? I hope you are well. How is your day going? What's the weather like where you are? It's rainy and cold here in central England. Also, today is National Teachers' Day and I would like to give thanks to the greatest teacher (the Holy Spirit) for always teaching me His Word. I celebrate those who dedicate their lives to the education of others. May God reward your service.

Back to today's post...

I normally receive a number of inquiries from Christians on how they can create time to study the Word of God due to everyday pressures that are hindering them. So, today's post is to encourage you to spend more time studying the Word of God.

Let me use a seed to explain how you could keep studying your bible. a) How does a seed grow? b) Does it grow instantly? c) Does it grow all at once? I believe when seeds are planted, they first grow roots and once these roots take hold, a small plant will begin to emerge. So, for a seed to grow, the following needs to happen:

God Knows About You | He Understands and Speaks Every Language

 Dear Readers & Followers,

How are you today? How was your weekend? I bless God for watching over you. Do you know that God loves you? He outrageously cares about you. Yes, You! God cares about You! He cares about your well-being and safety. He wants the best for you. As a matter of fact, God knows you better than you know yourself. God understands your language and He can speak your language. What's so interesting about God is that He knows every single language and speaks them all. He knows every single person as He created everyone. 

You have searched me, LORD, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you, LORD, know it completely. Psalm 139:1-4 (NIV).  

You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand! Psalm 139: 5-6.

Completing God-given Tasks

Dear Readers & Followers,

It's another new week. How are you? How is your day going? Today's post will be focusing on steps to consider with regards to accomplishing the tasks the Lord has called you to do. Here are five steps for you to consider:

1) Persevere in your faithfulness to God and His call. Have faith even when things seem impossible. Trust God's faithfulness and strength to help you.

2) Be prepared for opposition from the enemy when you are accomplishing the Lord's work. Jesus was opposed by people including those that were close to Him during His earthly ministry, Paul was opposed, Nehemiah was opposed, Ezra was opposed when they were all fulfilling the Lord's work. Having this understanding will help you when you are feeling discouraged in the face of opposition.

3) Set yourself to pray, and fix your eyes on the Lord.

4) Be vigilant and watch so that the enemy does not block God's work through discouragement and false accusation.

5) Always ask the Lord for guidance and wisdom. 

Have you gained something new?

Have a lovely week!  See you again on Monday.

Do it when Afraid I God will make a way

 Hello Readers & Followers,

It's a new week. How is your day going? Has God committed some tasks into your hands? Has God asked you to undertake some tasks? Sometimes when God asks us to complete a task, as humans we want to rationalise it, we want to ensure that it makes sense fully or we want to ensure that we have all the resources before we follow God's instructions. God is saying that you need to launch it, you need to keep going and do not be fearful, for I, the Lord, I am with you.

The bible says that: Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin, to see the plumb line in Zerubbabel’s hand.” - Zechariah 4:10.

Have a lovely week!

Christian Parents | Pray for Your Children

 Hello Readers & Followers

How is your weekend going? I hope you're having a lovely weekend. Today's write-up is for parents. I would like to encourage you to keep praying for your children as your prayers carry power and they are being heard by God. Pray what you would like to see in their lives into existence as your prayers are being stored in heaven and heard by God. Keep going! God will honour all His promises concerning your children in Jesus' name.

Finally, remember to:

1) Pray with/on and for your children. 

2) Pray immediately when God brings your child/ren to your mind.

3) Pray God's word into their lives.

4) Pray about your concerns and desires in their lives.

5) You can use a prayer book dedicated to praying for children to pray for your children.

Above all, ask the Holy Spirit to intercede for your child/ren. Sometimes you may struggle to pray, please take heart, the Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead is praying for you and praying for your children. The Spirit uses "groans that words cannot express" to present the needs of our children to God. How amazing! Thank you Holy Spirit for helping us to pray for our children.

Finally, encourage your children to pray for themselves. Teach them to know that praying to God is a vital part of life. We need God in everything and they need God also.

Top Tip: Do you fast and pray on behalf of your children? You should consider it.

Have a lovely weekend. Thank you for reading.

But as for You, be STRONG and do not GIVE UP

 Hello Readers & Followers,

How was your weekend? Hope you had a lovely weekend. I would like to encourage you with a bible verse in 2 Chronicles 15:7 which says "But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded." Please, do not become weary in doing good/ advancing the kingdom of God with your talents and gifts. God's strength is inside you and His power is upon you; the Lord will keep you strong and make you grow. 

Finally, avoid praising yourself when God's power is resting upon you and you are doing great wonders for God.  God wants you to humble yourself so that He can lift you up in due time (1 Peter 5:6).

Keep going!

Keep planting!

Stay strong!

The Lord will reward your work.

Have a lovely week!

This book explains why children need to pray, what God would like them to know about prayers, a prayer guide themed to cover their everyday experiences including biblical affirmations, and an interactive prayer journal. It's an easy-to-read book for children and it's a book that will be part of your child's daily routine.
