God is Saying Your Time is Coming - Hold On In Faith And Trust God. Motivational Video

Foreign why does the bible make such a big deal of the first hours of the day when you open your eyes in the morning it confirms that you are one of the recipients of God's mercy awakened to a fresh experience of being a part of God's agenda on Earth for the day it is why we are so keen on starting your day with thanks you may not know this but being able to Wake up alive each morning is one of the most underrated blessings once upon a time I used to take this for granted and

even belong to the school of thought that said it was my right as a child of God to wake up every morning and not a miracle I was blind arrogant and very very wrong the Bible does say in Lamentations chapter 3 verses 22-23 because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed for his compassions never fail they are New every morning great is your faithfulness some people would pay anything to have a good night's sleep some would pay any amount to be able to see the sunrise from any part of the world under any

condition whatsoever for just one day some of these people may be deceased now while some may be blind and can't see there is also the case of those in a coma as well as those suffering from one condition or another which makes it Difficult if not impossible to witness or enjoy the things you and me have taken for granted Psalms chapter 127 verses 1 through 2 says unless the Lord builds the house the builders labor in vain unless the Lord watches over the city the guards stand watch in vain in vain you rise early and

stay up late toiling for food to eat for he grants sleep to those he loves with good insight into these verses you Will see how that being able to go out and prosper legitimately in your day and to return and have a good night's sleep without fear or anxiety over anything is the work of God's mercy upon those he loves you could have so much in possession and achievements in the eyes of everyone else and yet you could lack real peace I know that many people would say that they can live with that but what

is life without the peace that God gives what is Possession that makes you lose your peace of mind and that quietness of being able to breathe in the beauty around you this reminds me of an analogy I once read somewhere can't really remember the author though the writer was trying to illustrate the irony of life and why we must be grateful for where we are and not envy those who have the things we don't have because you don't even know if the little you have is worth more Than the life they have despite their possessions

and the analogy tells of a plane flying over a large span of land with a ranch and a simple farmhouse on it on the plane was a billionaire traveling for a business meeting he wishes he could miss he pauses to look at through the window and sees the whole activity of simple life outside the city noises in the countryside he wishes he could have had this life and not have to worry about a Stock here and there the market in all his possessions while the planes fly overhead from a shade in the Farmland steps out

to the farmer the ranch's owner probably the same age as the billionaire he looks up at the plane and wishes that were his his Daydreams of living the life of a billionaire where he could have whatever he wanted go wherever he wanted meet whomever he wanted and live his best life to him the life of a billionaire Was a problem-free life this analogy helps us see through the eyes of two Lifestyles two statuses and therefore we can learn a thing or two from them I shared this because I wanted you to understand the importance of

appreciating the gift of the morning time I am doing this because I want to show you in a moment how your action towards God in the morning can affect the rest of the day for you as you open your eyes in the morning Recognize that you have just been blessed with a new day an opportunity for something new or for continuity maybe you tried before and failed the morning is God's way of telling you here is another chance to try again or try differently maybe you tried before and succeeded the morning is also God telling

you here is another chance to do something new or sustain what you have gotten or still maybe you have never tried anything Before the morning is God telling you that you have an opportunity to take a step it is not over for you yet Ecclesiastes chapter 9 verse 4 anyone who is among the living has hope even a live dog is better off than a dead lion this understanding therefore helps you naturally cultivate a thankful attitude in those first hours of your day a thankful heart is the best way to begin your way your eyes

and hearts open up to God and you are able to see what God is Doing and is done then what is yet to be done David wrote in Psalms chapter 59 verse 16 but I will sing of your strength in the morning I will Sing of Your Love For You Are My Fortress my refuge in times of trouble it is difficult to stay thankful without meditation in your first waking hours are the best time to meditate especially early in the morning what else is so special about starting your day with God Apart from the attitude

of thankfulness and contentment it builds up in you starting your day with God teaches you to seek and depend on him for Direction the psalmist wrote in Psalms chapter 5 verse 3 in the morning Lord you hear my voice in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly starting your day seeking God helps you to be God dependent then self-dependent I know that it is quite common today to hear of mental exercises first thing in The morning and how that helps to boost your productivity and attract good things to you during the

day however listen to me dear Saint you are a child of God you are a child of the spirit of God God gave you a mind a soul not to lead you but to be an instrument with which the real spiritual being inside you interacts with the world your mind may be the Battleground but it is not the headquarters of your direction God's spirit within your own Spirit is this means that you the child of God and not led by your mind but by the spirit of God through faith Romans chapter 8 verse 14 says

for those who are led by the spirit of God are the children of God in second Corinthians chapter 5 verse 7 says for we live by faith not by sight direction is very important in life sometimes the things you think are safe and harmless turn out to be the worst without God's Direction you will walk in Darkness driven only by your guesses or guts nothing more however through God's Direction you have Clarity and confidence in what to expect from life he did not call us to live life through guesswork or trial and error our lives

are worth more than that we have been called to live intentional lives through faith and divine direction from our source the Almighty the Bible says that God's people perish for lack of knowledge and also that there is safety In counsel who better to counsel you than the Omission to omnipotent God himself someone once said motion does not always indicate progress that something or someone is in motion does not mean they are making progress a horse tied to a pole could be walking about as far as the Rope or leash permits however that the horse is

able to walk towards the Heap of hay and stretch its legs a little is not an indicator that it is Free or it is making any form of progress in motion however true progress can mean free movement consistently in the right direction so instead of the restraints on the horse this time it is able to go to the Heap of hay and Beyond it wherever it or its Rider wants to go dear Saint is not good for one to be without knowledge each beginning of the new day don't get out of bed without asking God

for directions don't get out Of bed without laying your plans before him let him Guide You by his Spirit which plans should be pursued which one should be thrown aside and which one should be postponed to a later time Proverbs chapter 3 verses 5-8 says trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding in all your ways submit to him and he will make your paths straight do not be wise in your own eyes fear the lord and shine evil this will bring Health to your body And nourishment to

your bones do you want to survive and Triumph over the chaos the crisis confusion pressures and fears of everyday living today then start seeking God each morning do you know that even while Jesus was on Earth this was his custom to wake up early in the morning before others just to go spend time with God no time spent with God is ever wasted there is so much grace there for you there is strength there for your day Peace that passes all understanding and the hopefulness in possibilities maybe you have been failing in one particular Venture

before now have you taken that issue to God do you lay it before him before you embarked on it now I believe that I need to stress this out when we say that you should take stuff to God we mean that you are willing to wait until you are convinced in your spirit that it is what God wants you to do before you go and execute it some believe and say That they have taken an issue with God whereas in reality all they did was mention it in prayers after having made up their minds without

the input of the holy spirit in it all you've just done is informed God of your decisions you did not seek his permission nor his Direction and anything not under God's Dominion should not expect God's sustenance you can't blame God for the repercussions of your own bad choices That you made and that you know about however be reminded that when you see God in faith be sure that not only will he direct you he will also be with you to confirm what he said if Jesus could do that with the disciples after his Ascension then

you can be sure that he will do it with you as he promised he would your Victory is guaranteed when God takes the lead and God Will Take the Lead when you seek him first before Every other thing ask the Lord to help you develop a consistent habit for today you don't have to start big spending long hours you can start with short but consistent moments of uninterrupted time of prayers and Bible reading as well as meditating on the word every day focus on being consistent and over time you will automatically find yourself spending more

time with God because it has become a part of your life you you cannot do this by your strength you may Try but you won't last long and you may not get the most from it instead take the step through faith trusting God to give you the strength and the desire to consistently seek Him and He will do it let me leave you with this promise from the word of God Jeremiah chapter 29 verses 12-13 then you will call on me and come and pray to me and I will listen to you you will seek

me and find me when you seek me with all your heart what was the prayer Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane Lord not my will but yours be done are the events in our lives a series of random outcomes or are they the result of something intentional the idea you often have about a situation may leave you in the dark concerning the truth behind that situation for instance what happens in your life at the end of the day will be proof of whose will reigned in it the will of God The will of the

devil or your will why is this very important to know in John 1 11-13 talking about Jesus the Bible says he came to that which was his own but his own did not receive him yet to all who did receive him to those who believed in his name he gave the right to become children of God children born not of natural descent nor of human decision or a husband's will but born of God Carefully take note of those words it says Those Who come to Jesus and become God's children are not saved through the work

of natural will but God's will your salvation dear Saint is yours today because you believed and received God's will when you did it became your reality your skin color bank account physical location and body size did not change still you knew something happened to you That completely changed your life from that very moment you'd receive the will of God Jesus Christ and his finished work into your heart through faith bringing salvation and eternal life into your heart but someone might ask what is God's will firstly God's Ultimate Will is this the salvation of all men

yes you got that right there's a place in heaven for all men God never intended for anyone to die and End up in hell he made hell for the devil and his host the Fallen spirits First Timothy 2 3-4 this is good and pleases God our savior who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth it is the highest thing that God wants anyone who comes to Jesus has just walked into God's highest will but is that where it ends no it's not as you grow in knowing god

one of the Things you will learn just as God is using this video to teach you is that your prayers and your very existence must be within the will of God here's what I mean when you want something in your life you won't just say God this is what I need you can however say God if this is your will for my life give it to me if it is not let yours be done is this the right way to pray Yes the Lord Jesus prayed it and because he's our perfect example we follow him

remember that I said not only in Salvation but in every other area of your life as well you must seek for God's will to be done in your life there's no shame or regret in God's will there's no disgrace in God's will in the end the will of God is joy and satisfaction to those who seek it the average human does not like anything interrupting their plans and goals Ego makes it difficult for them to accept the will of another because they believe it'll reduce their self-worth however let me tell you dear believer we are

limited in more ways than we know the brightest Among Us is still very much limited and like I said earlier Our Lives will turn out according to the will we stand upon Gods the Devils or ours the Apostle James wrote in James 4 13-16 now listen you who say today or tomorrow We will go to this or that City spend a year there carry on business and make money why you do not even know what will happen tomorrow what is your life you are a Mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes instead

you ought to say if it's the Lord's will we will live and do this or that as it is you boast in your arrogant schemes all such boasting is evil he warns us about wanting or doing Things just like that this is a trap that opens us up to the will of the devil praying for the will of God to happen in your life is a sign of faith and humility it's you telling God that although you want something and can try and get it you're choosing to lay that power at his feet it's you

telling God that you're laying down your power to pursue what's before You because you trust in his choice for you and in his power to bring what he wants for you into reality this is what I mean by humility and Trust so you shouldn't say Lord I love him and I want to be with him Lord Lord I love her and I want to be with her instead you say Lord if this is your will for the two of us bring us together and make the relationship work if it's not your will keep us apart

and let only Your will be done in our lives do you see that now many people have hurt themselves because they did not know to seek recognize and walk in the will of God for their lives this kind of prayer however will save you from the regret shame and pain of missing the will of God for your life and it doesn't only apply to relationships it also applies to business finances and many other crucial decisions in your life However there are areas where Believers usually face a challenge in this kind of Prayer areas like sickness

bad habits Satan's oppression and so on some people believe it's God's will for them to be in sickness and pain so you may hear them say if it's God's will I'll be healed but if not I'll bear it until I get to heaven where there'll be no sickness and diseases and I'll finally be free as humble as this may sound it's not Wholly accurate you see Heaven is a perfect place there's no sin sickness or disease there the Earth on the other hand is a corrupt World sin poverty and illnesses are very much present but

if you look at God's word you'll see that these things are not what God wants especially in his children talking about Jesus Peter wrote in First Peter 2 24. he himself bore our sins in his body on the cross so that we might die to sins And live for righteousness by his wounds you have been healed in other words Jesus suffered wounds on his body so that you will not have the scars of sickness on you remember how it was with the Salvation experience Jesus died so that you might live now the Bible is saying

he was wounded so that you might be free of wounds Health wounds and anything that will destroy your body before it's time for You to return home to heaven hence if his wounds are meant to heal me how is my sickness his will think about that for a second one time Jesus met a man suffering from leprosy and here's what happened Matthew 8 1-3 when Jesus came down from the Mountainside large crowds followed him a man with Leprosy came and knelt before him and said Lord if you are willing you can make me clean Jesus

reached out his Hand and touched the man I am willing he said be clean immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy did you hear what Jesus said it is my will my dear friend please know that God cannot lie it's not his will that you're sick if Jesus died to take sickness and disease away it's not until we get to heaven that we experience it we are to begin the experience of divine Health here Did Jesus heal everyone in his days the Bible didn't say so however it does say that Jesus made sure that he

used his anointing from God to heal and set free anyone he met acts 10 30. how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with Holy Spirit and Power and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil because God was with him just like healing struggles with health addictions and demonic Affliction are Not the will of God either thank God for medicine and for doctors these are God's blessings to humanity and God uses many of them to save countless lives and Families however not that God can't heal you through

whatever means he deems fit he could heal you through medication and supernaturally heal you even before you attempt any medicine so this does not rule out treatment I usually encourage people to ensure Their faith is strong enough to hold whatever they want if your faith does not bring the healing you seek go for treatment and trust God to heal you through medications doctors are not devils Satan does not want people well so how could he inspire a medical breakthrough to save lives that's not his thing you may be listening to me right now and wondering

so how do I pray the will of God concerning my health and things such as bad habits and others let me emphasize this one truth know what the word of God says about your situation first this is so important that you may limit your experiences with God if you don't know what he said concerning many things for instance we've seen that sickness is not his will so your prayer should be something like Lord I Thank you for the gift of healing And health that you've given me in Jesus Christ so I know that it is

your will for me to be healed and free from this disease and pain so father I receive your will into my life I receive your healing I receive my freedom I now receive my health and complete recovery in Jesus name remember we saw that praying for God's will means laying yourself before him And trusting in his plan and power for your life this is how you pray the will of God my friend not just over your healing but in other areas where you know God has clearly stated his intentions for example regarding sinful habits you

can't resort to living that way because you feel as if it's his will he will take it away from you that contradicts his word in first Thessalonians 4 3-4 the Bible Says it is God's will that you should be sanctified that you should avoid sexual immorality that each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is Holy and honorable therefore you must take your stand and believe in God for deliverance from those sinful habits sexual or not they're not the will of God like these two I've shared the Bible is

Full of other areas where the will of God is shown marriage giving obedience parenting and so on regarding other areas where God doesn't say anything in the Bible you can pray if it's his will but remember your life will always turn out both here on Earth and in eternity according to the will that is prevalent in it so whose will are you seeking in your life As you pray to the Lord today placing your needs before him make sure to add that he will reveal his will concerning your life to you it's a sign of

your humility and of your faith ask the Lord to take away Pride or fear that hinders you from seeking out his will and obeying it and above all trust that as you step out today beyond what you want let only what he wants Prevail in your life Who are you who sent you who are you becoming who were you made to be who were you created to become who are you made to like a man or a woman who cannot answer these questions genuinely and truthfully holding these precious Revelations deep at heart will be washed

off into the world and lose their footing eventually there is no standing future for those Whose feet are not deeply rooted in the sure Cornerstone of Jesus until God's children fully comprehend their place in the world their purpose and their Ally in this journey they will continue to waste away while barely existing there is no future for those who are not Resolute in their beliefs there remains no hope for those who are not yet resolved on the truth of their standing Their fate is to fall not because they were born to fall into destruction but

because they chose this path out of ignorance when you can settle this that is the first step into the Glorious future God has spoken of in his word to you the second sure step is to desperately hold on to this truth making sure to cling to it for dear life Jesus told a great Parable to this effect of the tale of sowing seeds on All kinds of soil and the results Matthew 13 3-9 and 18-23 says and he spake many things unto them in Parables saying behold A sower went forth to sow and when he

sowed some seeds fell by the wayside and the fowls came and devoured them up some seed fell upon Stony places where they had not much Earth and fourth width they sprung up because they had no deepness in the Earth and when the sun was up they were scorched and because they had no root They withered away and some fell among thorns and the Thorns sprung up and choked them but other fell into good ground and brought forth fruit some a hundredfold some 60-fold some 30-fold he who hath ears to hear Let Him hear ye therefore

the parable of the sower when anyone heareth the word of the kingdom and understandeth it not then cometh the wicked one and catch the way that which was sown in his heart this is He which received the seed by the wayside but he that receiveth the seed into Stony places the same is he that heareth the word and an on with joy receiveth it yet have he not root in himself but doereth for a while for when tribulation and persecution ariseth because of the word by and by He Is offended he also that receiveth the

seed among the Thorns is he that heareth the word And the care of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choked the word and he becometh unfruitful but he that receiveth the word into the good ground is he that heareth the word and understandeth it which also beareth fruit and bringeth forth summon hundredfold some 60 some 30. the Bible is clear on this if you do not desperately hold on to the truth you have received from God about your life about where he had planned for you about His glorious future with you about your identity

in Christ and about the wicked one who seeks to deceive you and cut you off you will perish you will be robbed if you choose to remain ignorant that we have an adversary a very real threat dwells in darkness aiming to Rob us off our feet of the truth that is necessary to bring us into the fullness of our inheritance in God first Peter 5 8-9 says be sober be vigilant because your adversary the Devil as a roaring lion walketh about seeking whom he may devour whom resists steadfast in the faith knowing that the same

afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world know this deeply in your heart and remain on guard your child of God stay vigilant alert and awake lest you be swept off your feet and lose faith in God God has brought you to the sure path of The just and of righteousness and purity he had established you in the truth of his word and cleansed you with the Precious Blood of his son Jesus Christ he is also committed to your hands the great and precious Promises of your inheritance in Christ all of this

is yours and yours alone they are completely yours God has you in the right spot for your life stand surely in this truth Refuse to let them go to ignorance and negligence in the study in search of God's word the truth you are unaware of is completely useless to you the truth you are unaware of does not exist and cannot serve you or be enforced it is the exact same thing as being robbed continually but having no clue that you are missing out on anything or that anything is missing at all The enemy the devil

our adversary as sons of God is a robber and Thief His goal is simple to kill steal from us and Destroy what God has legally and rightfully given us to take over enjoy and use as we see fit many Christians are being besieged on every side and robbed daily and are not aware of it at all they do not know and are doomed to be skinned without even knowing plagued on every side beset with Atrocities at every corner nothing seems to be working well for them nothing seems to be going right for them sadly they

have adapted to managing the pain and suffering of constant loss by persevering they think they are being tried by God but that is not true they do not know that they are being taken advantage of heavily the devil loves to exploit ignorance to The highest possible level he loves to exploit the vulnerable place of ignorance in the children of God do not be ignorant of your inheritance in Christ go desperately to the word of God and let it stand firm God through Jesus spoke of the sure Foundation that cannot be moved you have to hear

of this parable of Jesus Luke 6 47-49 whosoever cometh to me and heareth My sayings and doeth them I will shoe you to whom he is like he is like a man which built in house and digged deep and laid the foundation on a rock and when the flood arose the stream beat vehemently upon that house and could not shake it for it was founded upon a rock but he the heareth and does not is Like a Man Without a foundation built in the house upon the Earth against which the stream did beat vehemently and

immediately it fell and the ruin of that House was great this brings us to the third point you must remember in order to stand firm now that God has you exactly where he wants you the only way to stay in him and not be washed away is through this do what you find in God's word obey there is no future for the disobedient the word you hear is not what works for you what works for you is the word you pick Up obey by putting it into action and do so consistently many children of God

only go as far as listening to God's word through anointed men of God or through study of the word of God the Bible they never get round to actually doing what they discovered in God's word they have not planned to put into practice what God is clearly identified for them to do our whole walk with God is a reality of responsibilities God has his own responsibility and so do we to place all the responsibility on God to actualize the word in your life is a full display of foolishness and ignorance are you lacking in an

area of your life look for the word of God concerning that famished spot in your life and immediately implement it don't just stop there keep at it all Giants in the kingdom of God are People who did what they had to do in God's word concerning the change they desired in their lives and employed themselves to fully exercise their responsibility consistently no matter what Heaven does not give cheap testimony I'll have you know that God's word is true and he is fully committed to doing everything he has promised to do for as long as we

do our part no he is never to blame for any Inconsistency in the realities of his promises for our lives showing up in our lives he has already done his part and completely too it is left for you to fulfill your own side of the obligation and see the reality of the promises of God in his word come to pass in your life yes you stand right now in the fullness of where God has for you that's true but the day you stop doing what brought You here you start to crash it may happen slowly

enough that you don't notice but you will fall God's word is infallible he cannot lie have you come up to some level of prosperity health or grace through God and you feel you have arrived don't be deceived by the enemy watch it lest you crash keep standing firm dear child of God Jesus was right in the boat with the disciples when that storm struck and Threatened to sink the ship Luke 8 22-24 KJV says now it came to pass on a certain day that he went into a ship with his disciples and he said unto

them let us go over unto the other side of the lake and they launched fourth but as they sailed he fell asleep and there came down a storm of wind on the lake and they were filled with water and were in jeopardy and they came to him and awoke him Saying master master we perish then he arose and rebuked the wind and the Raging of the water and they ceased and there was a calm the presence of the storm does not reduce God one bit no you have to absolutely trust God that no matter how

fiercely the storm blows he is here and hence you cannot be submerged by the forces of Darkness stand tall and strong for God has you covered Many may fall around you and beside you and you may hear Tales of many who have fallen all around you tales that threaten to attack your faith and trust in God but if you will cling to God in faith in his word to you you will not be raided you will be the exception God's word is clear a thousand may fall to your left and ten thousand to your right

hand side but it shall not come near you you are the exception As you make your journey through life you'll come face to face with certain realities meant to teach you the ways and standards of God as well as the treachery of self or carnal indulgences which go against the standards of God our carnal indulgences are mostly sensual and contrary to the will and standards of God they satisfy our flesh and Minds but polluted such that it displeases God and destroys us These indulgences displease God because over time they become habits that bind us and

a lifestyle that destroys us bit by bit the thing about habits especially ungodly ones is that they enslave you plunging you into a world of complete darkness where you struggle to break free fight guilt and depressions and are stagnated for a long time although habits are not impossible to break they can seem so for the one Enslaved by him yet it's God's desire for his children to be free from weights and bondages and to enter into the freedom of his will through obedience to his precepts for example the Bible says in First John 3 8

the one who does what is sinful is of the devil because the devil has been sinning from the beginning the reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work sinful Lifestyles and habits that Enslave God's children are the works of the devil and Christ came to destroy them he came to nullify them in your life believe me when I tell you that no one appreciates freedom from sin and an individual who was once Bound by it but is now set free this reminds me of a parable Jesus once shared on the subject

in Luke 7 41-47 [Music] two people owed money to a certain money Lender one out in 500 Denari the other 50. neither of them had the money to pay him back so he forgave the debts of both now which of them will love him more Simon replied I suppose the one who had a bigger debt forgiven you have judged correctly Jesus said then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon do you see this woman I came into your house you did not give me any water for my feet but she wet my feet

with her tears and wiped them with her Hair you did not give me a kiss but this woman from the time I entered has not stopped kissing my feet you did not put oil on my head but she has poured perfume on my feet therefore I tell you her many sins have been forgiven as her great love has shown but whoever has been forgiven little loves little foreign how much one would advocate for freedom from things that can enslave others when He or she has once been there they empathize and understand with you but they're

not afraid to tell you what being enslaved by negative habits will cost you both in life and with God I can say this because I was once there too when we live lifestyle or habits that do not glorify God whether or not we enjoy it is not the main trouble the problem is what it does to us spiritually first off Every Act is Disobedience to God whether consciously Done or not every act leads us further away from God and disconnects us from intimate fellowship with him thus exposing us to the Destroyer because now we're like

sheep who've wandered from the herd and can be attacked by Wolves any moment you see to break free from these things I personally sought God for help in looking at myself through my subconscious mind in the very act I knew I needed help and had to break free from Them dear Saint I believe that whether you're struggling with one sinful habit or a disobedient lifestyle that transgresses God's will for you God is sending you this message is both a warning and a rescue mission to stop and move out of it he still gives Fresh Starts

he still heals he still revives he still restores when we turn to him he will make the difference in our lives second chronicles 7 14. If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their Wicked Ways then I will hear from heaven and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land the desire and intention to please God will enable you to watch out and deal with anything that makes you go contrary to God's will for your life no matter how many people

are doing it your watchfulness therefore becomes your Advantage you can't afford to go through life living the script that Community or people have written for you everyone is free to make his or her decision on how to live his or her life in every aspect academic physical Financial spiritual Etc whether they're Christians or not however as free as everyone is to make their choices they're also responsible for the consequences of those things they choose to do As a Christian who wants to make an impact in the lives of others as well as please God we

have to avoid and completely let go of certain destructive habits and distractions to ensure that we're always in line with God's precept and purpose regardless of the world we find ourselves Romans 6 11-13 in the same way count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus therefore do not let sin reign in your Mortal body so that you obey its evil desires do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from Death to life and offer

every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness just as the scripture says we can't afford to live just the way we want we were bought with a price even though we have the power to make our own decisions And choices we're also accountable to God who saved us through the sacrifice of his son Jesus Christ in our lives in eternity will be greatly influenced by the choices we make here of righteousness unto eternal life or of unrighteousness Unto Eternal death and Hell with this in mind we understand the need to do away

with distractions and habits that will destroy our connection to live a life well pleasing unto God or to live Up to God's standards note that distractions are not merely out to take your mind off one thing or another alone they desire to disconnect you from God and stop you from fulfilling Your Divine Purpose on Earth Satan knows something about the glory of God over our lives and to stop us from shining in God's light he brings distractions to sway us from looking at God's Divine blueprint for our lives or living by it The purpose of

the enemy is to see us down wallowing in the dirt where God wants us to shine we must do our due diligence in enabling the light of God to shine through Us by turning down the loud activities of the world through constant dealing with God and his word the Bible says in John 10 10. the thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy I have come so that they may have life and have it to the full This is God's thoughts towards us as we humbly and completely submit ourselves to his patterns and learn

to silence the voice fighting against him in our lives learn to always get away from anything or any person whenever you notice any disturbance in your spirit and opt out of anything that appears to be sin or evil first Thessalonians 5 22 reject every kind of evil learn to always listen to God meditate On his word pray constantly to always be in tune with his will for us permit me to mention three major things in our lives today that God is saying stop doing so that you can please him more one lust what most people

don't know about lust is that it's more than sexual immorality and secular sins in general lust takes a pure desire in your heart corrupts it through the Flesh and Produces something contrary to the purpose of God for you for instance do you know that selfishness and greed relatively have their roots in lust do you know that Wars and divisions begin from the corrupted desires we Harbor inside us when people are willing to do whatever it takes to have something even if it means compromising honest standards hurting others or losing themselves in the process You know

lust is driving them when desire goes out of control or operates outside God's timing then lust is set in God is telling you to break free from lust today whether it's lust for money for pleasure for power or anything it's against God and everything he stands for many have lost family friends and even their ultimate relationship with God due to this destructive force birthing dark habits in them It may feel great at some point but it'll drag you down to a pit you don't want to go desire itself is not a bad thing however when

we allow desires to drive us against the order of God for our lives we're submitting ourselves to the Council of the enemy James 1 14-15 but each person is tempted when they are dragged Away by their own evil desire and enticed then after desire is Conceived it gives birth to sin and sin when it is full grown gives birth to death lust is a Temptation and an evil that overcomes many of us it's born of Satan in the flesh every single one of us is subject to lust but we must rise above it and if

we're to overcome it we must be strong the Lord is saying stop doing this don't hide away come to God seek his mercy and forgiveness Ask him to help you keep yourself pure and strengthen you to take your stand in resisting the temptation to give in to the lusts of your flesh two the habit of procrastination procrastination is the habit of delaying an important task usually by focusing on less urgent more enjoyable and easier activities instead many children of God fall prey to this destructive habit they never do anything important at the right time their

answer To everything is later if you were to succeed in life and be a fruitful branch in Christ you must stop procrastinating you have to kill the Habit at the root or else it'll keep you from fruitfulness and stability in God thereby displacing you a procrastinator wastes resources and is unfruitful and God hates wastes and unfruitfulness you can't blame an event or circumstance For your lack of discipline to get done what you set out to do you are responsible for your life and for whatever you do with it to stop such a habit requires Great

discipline knowing what you want and what you ought to be doing per time there is Need for us to focus and do what ought to be done right now no matter what we may think or have in mind seek fruitfulness and you will break free from procrastination you only have Today not tomorrow three the habit of men pleasing have you ever noticed that you always want to hear someone commend your good works in every situation many of us have built our lives on the Commendation of others there's nothing wrong with commendations in fact God commends

people for good works and rewards them however when your service to God or others is born from a deep need to feel important or be seen and appreciated Then it isn't coming from your heart see this habit puts your eyes off the effect of the task assigned to you or those you work with in the spirit of unity and puts it on yourself it's more about you and less about the work or others it's a form of idolatry because it takes God out of the picture and puts self and man there instead so if you

don't want to labor only to be rejected at the last minute before God Then live life with your ultimate gaze and motivation on God and not on any man or woman this habit makes you feel like you've done nothing when no one commends your work serving God and working for people with the sole aim of being recognized is a sign of hypocrisy watch yourself carefully do your duties well with or without any accommodations some other habits you must examine and Deal with in your life are habits of discouragement uncontrolled anger cheating laziness dishonesty the benefit

of self-examination is that it regularly puts you through complete overhaul cleansing you through and through so that you can come out pure and pleasing before God First John 3 2-3 dear friends now we are children of God and what we will be has not yet been made known But we know that when Christ appears we shall be like him for we shall see him as he is all who have this hope in him purify themselves just as he is pure [Music] foreign [Music] situations in life will always be overwhelming in some Seasons days of your

life will come when you cannot Breathe you cannot speak you cannot cry you cannot understand and you can find no sense in the chaos such days do exist and yes God is aware you will come to that point where you cannot make a demarcation between that which is painful and that which is lesson filled you will lose all strength and support you will cry the oceans of Tears available to you and exhaust every contact you know who could help and you would still come to the place of Realization that you cannot do anything but suffer

through this season in severe heartache and pain trusting that this will not be the end of you trusting that hey God has a plan for my life trusting that this too shall pass trusting that there's a grand purpose for all these despite its looming unrealistic nature you see it is in times like this that the devil will dare you to swear at God he will invite you to give it all up and say it's over He will present you with seemingly hardcore proof that is undeniable to the human mind proof that this truly is the

end and there is no way God is on your side that you cannot survive this storm that this tsunami of emotions will be the end of you he will show you that the wreckage of your life after this storm could never be fixed and coupled Back Together by anyone including God it is in Seasons like this that you would be deserted utterly abandoned by Your friends and foe alike left to die out the rest of your days in obscurity and utter hopelessness yes such dire straight seasons do exist they exist not to a few but

to all men only at different intervals you may be right in the middle of yours at this very moment do not lose heart stay positive stay a hopeful dear child of God a trial season is necessary for the raising of Kingdom Giants for God you See everyone has excellent ideas everyone can talk a good game and everyone can claim to be an expert at handling success but if we have been taught anything by history it is that the only difference between many who we insult and malign when they make mistakes is not over great ability

or esteem but rather an opportunity when many of such critics are presented with the same opportunity as did have those before They fail ever so miserably even worse than the very people they had castigated and insulted while they were in positions of responsibility and influence Joseph resisted stiffly at every turn despite his Great and Powerful dreams and aspirations given to him by God his trial seasons were so Fierce that many of us today would have quit halfway through and dumped the vision given to us by God to pursue Joseph was envied And hated by his

very own Brothers his own family they got so sick of him and his great destiny that they resented his dreams visions and his person they hated him so much that they contemplated even killing him when they could not do that they decided to sell him off into slavery they figured a slave could not amount to anything this was a trial for Joseph to test his Love his hope is affection and his will to forgive or become vengeful Joseph must have felt so wrong hurt and betrayed he must have felt deserted by the one group of

people that he thought should have had his back no matter what as if his life was not hard enough Joseph was lied against in Egypt while he worked diligently as a slave Genesis 39 4-8 10 16-18 and 20. and Joseph found Grace in his sight and He served them and he made him overseer over his house and all that he had put into his hand and it came to pass from the time that he had made him Overseer in his house and over all that he had that the Lord had blessed the Egyptians house for

Joseph's sake and the blessing of the Lord was upon all that he had in the house and in the field and he left all that he had in Joseph's hand and he knew not all he had saved the bread which he did eat and Joseph was a goodly person and well favored and it came to pass after these things that his master's Wife cast her eyes upon Joseph and she said lie with me but he refused and said unto his master's wife behold my master woveth not what is with me in the house and he

hath committed all that he hath to my hand and it came to pass as she spake to Joseph day by day that he hearken not unto her to lie by her or to be with her and she laid up His Garment by her until his Lord came home and she spake unto him according to these words saying the Hebrew servant which thou Hast brought unto us came in unto me to mock me and it came to pass as I lifted up my voice and cried that he left his garment with me and fled out and

Joseph's Master took him and put him into the prison a Place where the king's prisoners were bound and he was there in the prison the poor innocent young man ended up in jail for a crime he did not commit I want you to know that he did not sin against God yet things seemed not to be going his way seemed as though the world was set against him Joseph felt bad he was hurt he was broken and he was wronged Yet in all of this he trusted and kept hoping in God despite being in jail

indefinitely Joseph decided to remain happy no matter what to trust in the Lord and hope in him despite all the things going against him he understood that even the jail was a place of trial for him refining the crude parts of his personality into the brilliant look God desired for him in life Most times the truth is we are not aware of what the bigger picture is we groan complain we gripe and are bitter because of things not going our way and we complain when we lose out on privileges we were once used to we

become bitter when people don't treat us properly we feel so betrayed when people who we trust cheat on us we become miserable when despite how much we love God serve him and follow to Do his will we somehow always seem to end up with this Short Straw of life we feel betrayed by God nothing ever seems to go according to plan for us nothing seems to go our way in such Seasons it becomes a whole lot easier and more attractive to point fingers at God and gripe and complain about how unfair things are complaining about

how we have loved him and served him yet have seen no long-lasting change in our lives But God is faithful indeed he is not called anyone to disgrace him or her he is not separated you unto himself without a beautiful end in sight for you like the Levites in Israel he has a clear benefit for you if only you will faithfully and patiently persevere numbers 1824 but the tithes of the children of Israel which they offer as in heave offering unto the Lord I have given to the Levites to inherit Therefore I have said unto

them among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance God does not use any man in vain he does not cheat anyone he cannot be less faithful his word is true and amen so expect nothing less it might seem tough right now but Wade through it on Thanksgiving for the opportunity to be tempted in this season of trial that God may be glorified through you By the express release of abundant joy and absolute faith in God even in the midst of that highly depressing situation God is Not forsaken you he has a sure policy

and plan for you God is Not Reckless with your life and Destiny all men in the Bible who have risen in God despite the limitations of their time Rose as a result of the help and mercy of God to prepare them To last no matter how great they become so many Destinies have been crumbled by the success they encountered many could not sustain the character traits that got them to the Great Heights of life they rushed to the top and rushed back down falling from grace to grass sadly this is a continuous process in her

history as humans many unripe success stories that stepped out too early and were crushed before Their time crushed not even by the activity of the enemy or evil one but were crushed by their own ever-increasing ego as they rose up in success at every point in time this fatal flaw has buried so many and dampened the foundation of so many this affected their future possibilities nothing is new in this world history is littered with so many who have fallen by the wayside Great and Mighty Ships of destiny that have been crushed on the high tides

of life they never saw expression for long before the world was robbed of their unique expression of their potential and ability it ended sadly with all this in consideration God is decided against letting you cruise through life and success after success Most do not learn anything from winning all it does is help them prove that their plans ideas and systems are wise and foolproof the very reason why they have not fallen in error but this is a well-planned trap by the enemy For Whom The Father loves he chastises so he skillfully puts you in Seasons

like this Seasons where you fail but gains wisdom heavily Seasons where you lack but learn to Value the right use of resources Seasons where you are in need and come to understand the situation of people in similar situations when God has finally changed your story make no mistake keep your hope alive God is faithful he will not leave you to languish in pain want sorrow and pain endlessly you only must learn and grow and the situation will take a sharp turn for the better the devil has been cheated he does not Know the great and

amazing plans God has for you he does not know that God is using the occasion of the attacks from the devil and his forces to prepare and train you to be faithful in the place of your making till you become a vessel worthy to be used in glorious events by the master second Timothy Chapter 2 verses 20-21 but in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver but also of Wood and of Earth and some to honor and some to dishonor if a man therefore Purge himself from these he shall be

a vessel unto honor Sanctified and meet for the Master's use and prepared unto every good work
