Dear friend,
So wonderful it is to know that our capacity to speak to God in prayer in the greatest privilege; and hearing God speak to us through his infallible Word, is the highest honour ever bestowed us! But, the authority or mandate to speak for God is absolutely the ultimate calling!
Pray by the help of the Holy Spirit often, day and night, it's a special aroma to God. Read, study, and meditate on God's Word always, and you will never miss His accurate counsel, guidance, protection and blessings.
Finally, preach the gospel of Jesus Christ in season and out of season, making disciples for Jesus; even angels are not are not qualified to tell anyone this Good News about our Father's glorious Kingdom, but you are qualified, Hallelujah! Please read, James 5:16-18; Joshua 1:8; 1Peter 1:8-12.
2013 - The Year of EXCEPTIONAL SPEED and GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENTS! Quick, bountiful blessings, through our prompt, absolute obedience to God! - Praying, Studying and Preaching His Word, - (PSP). Please read, Psalm 81:13-16; Jeremiah 7:22, 23; Isaiah 46:13.
Isaiah 1:19.
If you will only obey me and let me help you, then you will have plenty (superabundance) of good things.
Whenever I'm asked to share what God lays on my heart, I'm always very careful because many people don't want to obey God, but desire only the blessings. I believe you're not like that. - Deut.28:1-13. This is just a summary of what the Lord wants me to tell you.
1) Never argue with your spouse or other people. Express your opinions firmly but politely. If you or they are dissatisfied, take the matter to the Lord in prayer and let it rest there. Don't worry about it, God is the righteous, just judge of the whole earth, trust His judgment. You never gain anything from an argument but always lose something. Don't win battles, but solve problems, because if you win the battle and lose the relationship, you have actually lost the war! 1 Pet.3:1, 2; 2 Tim.2:20-26.
2) Control your temper, Anger breeds mistakes and sin. Anger robbed Moses the access to the promised land. Be calm, patient, persuasive and humble always. Col.3:1-18;Prov.29:22, 23.
3) Be liberal, generous and compassionate. Give from what you have, especially to God's work and His ministers. Whatever you give towards the gospel is a great investment with unlimited eternal value. Remember the poor. Be led by the Holy Spirit. Deut.26;12-15; Gal.6; 6; Lk.5;1-10.
4) Be prompt, enthusiastic and bold to share God's Word by word of mouth, literature or otherwise with regular intercession for people by their names. Isa.62:6,7.This is the most important assignment and privilege to believers in God's current agenda, even angels are not qualified to preach the gospel of our Father's Kingdom. Initiate opportunities even if none are offered to you. A good, effective minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ, is someone who has finally found a cure for the common cold shoulder through the healing power of God's Word!-Never give up! Lk.6:22,23;Matt.10:8: Mk.16:15-20.
5) Be prompt to obey, be very faithful and diligent in whatever the Lord asks you to do. God is faithful to the faithful, He honours those who honour Him. He's prompt to answer, respond to and bless those who're prompt to obey him. He's close to those who draw near to Him. etc, etc, etc. Ps.18:24-29; Lk.12:31; 2 Tim.2:11-13.
6) Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will direct your paths. Don't be impressed by your own wisdom. Prov.3:5-7.
7) Keep asking for the fruit of the Holy Spirit for character maturation. - Gal.5:22-26. and the gifts of the Holy Spirit for divine enablement and advancement. - 1Cor.12:1-31.
* I suggest you print this out to remind you often of these precious Words from our Father.
Enjoy a Superabundant New Year, in God's awesome presence in Jesus' name, Amen.
