Jesus went into the wilderness by the power of the Holy Spirit. He was tempted and overcame all the schemes of the devil by the HolySpirit . He returned by the power of the Spirt into Galilee. The bottomline here is that, without the power of the Spirit, nothing will shift. We want to focus more on the power of the Spirit.We can generate this by spending more time alone with God in prayer Fasting and prayer, speaking in tongues for a long time. Something has to shift for you. in Jesus name. Amen. In this end time, we can only thrive by the power of the Spirit God bless you.

Jesus was tempted just as we are and it taught me something important. He overcame by challenging the words from the devil. He didn't accept the suggestion. Our needs and wants never end. Satisfaction only comes from and is by the Word of God. The devil always wants to challenge our identity in christ and makes us chase after other things Here we are reminded to crave for the Word of God for it satisfies. Bread always runs out. God bless you.

To forsake means to abandon, a state of no activity, nothing happening etc. Psalm 37 vs 25 the psalmist said all through his lifetime, he has never witnessed a righteous man forsaken by God! Even his sons, generations after him, have never had cause to beg for bread. It is heartwarming to know that God is in the midst of the ongoing chaos and though it may appear nothing is happening, He has not forsaken us. He is still doing wonders in our lives! He is saying, be still and experience me as God!

There is darkness upon the earth People are seeking for direction, groping in the dark. Those in Christ Jesus are light bearers. Let us allow Jesus shine through us.

We are encouraged to honour people in our lives that God has used to help us in one way or the other. Paul told the philippians to hold Epaphroditus in high regards.

God bless you.

The heroes of faith in Hebrews 12 were acknowledged by God for the things they did. It is interesting to know that their story is not complete without us. They are linked to us!

So be deliberate about shining your light. God bless you.

The grace of God has been released to us. It is personified in Jesus and God wants us to enjoy it. However, bitterness can hinder us from maximum potential. Choose to address that negative emotion. Let wells of joy and love spring out from you instead. God bless you.

The church began praying earnestly after Peter was imprisoned. What a stressful time it must have been. Here we are stirred up to engage in prayer, press on , make out time to do so earnestly, frequently and watch out for open doors, supernatural experiences. God is ready to make things happen. God bless you.

When things are going well, we often relax and may be weak in the place of prayer. This is a wake up call to prayer at all times and of all kinds. The resistance the adversary often brings our way is to hinder the spread of the Word of God. Do not be surprised, recognise it and take action. God bless you.

We live in a time where we need the Holy Spirit more than ever to keep on top of life and its pressures. We are encouraged to engage with the Spirit continually.. The Holy Spirit is here to help and knows the way we should take. You become irresistible when you are full of the Spirit. It can be easily seen and felt by others.

Thr place of prayer and the Word is constantly being challenged by other legitimate things in our lives. The apostles clearly stated that they will not neglect the Word and prayer to attend to tables. We are reminded of the need to prioritise building our spiritual life so we can withstand the challenges of life by the Spirit.

Every one makes decisions daily. We all need guidance to get it right. God's counsel is available to us. It comes in different ways. Do you recognise it? Be a man of understanding. God bless you.

Wake up from slumber and be awake because your light is needed. This was an inspiration for my new single " FRESH FIRE " which will be released on June 11th, 2022. It will be available on all digital platforms for streaming. Follow and share with others. God bless you.

The truth we allow in us is what transforms us. Jesus said," I am the way, truth and the Life". Here we are reminded to that God's word is the TRUTH and that is what defines us. Let us yield to it. You cannot enjoy the truth you resist or ignore. You cannot be transformed with just mental knowledge of the truth. Let the truth do its work in you. Jesus has prayed for us already. John 17 vs 17 It is the truth you surrender to that transforms you. God bless you.

Elijah thought he was alone and was downcast. Here we are reminded that God has a reserve and you are one of them. You are not the only one striving for the mastery. There are other believers around the world resisting and standing steadfast. Stay strong and hold on. You are the Lord's Reserve.

Here, we are encouraged to draw strength from the Rock. When we are tired physically , we rest, have a meal etc.However, when the heart us weary, physical remedies do not suffice. We look to the Rock that is higher. In a changing world where hearts are weary, let us continually look to the rock. God bless you.

God wants us as believers to establish His Kingdom on earth. In the Lord's prayer, Jesus said, "Let your Kingdom come".

God bless you

Everyone of us has been endowed with graces from God. You have something to offer. In this episode, we focus on the parable Jesus shared with his disciples on talents. The profitable servants did something with what they received. Qe are encouraged to take that step and do something with your little. God bless you.

God never leaves us unattended. I believe this word is specifically for someone seeking for wisdom at this time. God wants you to be open to counsel as you genuinely seek Him. Moses received counsel from his father-in-law and there was a turnaround in his life. Be prepared.

There are life lessons from Exodus 17 vs 11 we can adopt. When Moses's hands were lifted, Isreal prevailed. God's wants us to win always. So strengthen your hands In prayer and in worship. God bless you.

The Lamb of God has prevailed on the cross and desires that we remain Victor's daily. Here, we are reminded that we cannot do this by our strength. There is a constant supply from the father. Reach out to Him. God bless you.

There was something special about Moses, right from his birth. His name means ' because I drew him from the water". That was an indication of what he was created for. To draw people out of water, defend people and ensure justice. Your name may not be linked to your purpose, but what's that thing that drives you or makes you unique? Have you found it? Finding your purpose and living it is fulfilling. Start now.

We have a lot of life's lessons from Joseph's story in Genesis. Here we consider his words to his brothers who betrayed him. What they meant for evil, God turned it for good. God's Intention is to save lives. Your story will save the lives of many. Stay focused for God knows how to bring His word to pass. God bless you.

Judah means praise. There is power in your praise. When you praise God, great things happen. Judah rules and things bow down to Judah. We praise God for who He is and not because of what we want to get.. Let us practice Judah! God loves it. Blessings

God is doing a new thing and He wants us to know it, embrace and enjoy it. We could be hindered by how we use our minds. Your mind is a powerful tool. What you focus on, you empower, you relive and that can stand in the way. God wants you to let it go. Prepare for the NEW!

We face challenges daily, some are overwhelming and often drain our strength. God is encouraging us to focus on Him. He is for us. In Rom 8 vs 31, we understand that no matter what may come our way, we have God who is with us and FOR us! What is against us is not greater than God. Be rest assured in this and continually declare that God is for you. You will see your confidence rise. Shalom.

God has blessed everyone of us. If you look closely, you will see something to be thankful for in your life. Esau had a birthright but exchanged it for a meal. Did he know the value? Maybe or maybe not. We can learn from his story. If you don't value what you have, you either neglect it or lose it. God wants us to identify our many blessings and value them. Value relationships, gifting or talents. Refine and use them. God bless you.

One of the greatest obstacle to making progress in life is procrastination. When God gives you a word, it comes with grace to do and become. Here we see how Lot was helped else he would have been destroyed. Have you received an idea from God, a word of instruction? Take that step, do not linger. Maximise the grace you have received. God bless you.

God has principles and they can be trusted. We are reminded of His word in genesis. Don't just expect something to happen, take little steps of faith in the area where you expect a change. Those are seeds as you expect a change. The Lord will bless your steps of faith. Some people get disappointed when they see others jubilatinng and wonder. Your harvest is sure but there's need for you to intentionally invest, sow seeds then look at the big picture as you give thanks daily. You will have testimonies in Jesus name. Amen.

God told Abram " Fear Not". He is saying the same to you. What is happening in your life is not new. God is your all round shield. He will not let you down. He is faithful always.

All things are possible to the one who believes. It may not look like it now, but if God said it, it will surely come to pass. Abram believed and it was acknowledged by God. Let us rest in His promises and give thanks in advance. He will surely supply what we need.

The same flood that swept off people from the surface of the earth bare up the Ark where Noah and his family were in. God's word is coming to us today as a call to the secret place. There is a provision for us In the Ark. We don't have to worry about the flood, you never know how long it will prevail but we can be assured of safety in the Ark.

How do you start your day? Some people start with complains, dissatisfaction or with so much despair. The psalmist said in psalm 92 vs 1-2 that it is good to do four things which include giving thanks, singing praises , proclaiming His love in the morning and His faithfulness every night. How you start and end your day matters. Let's follow the psalmist's recommendations. It is a good thing! God bless you.

The righteous man is likened to a tree in psalms. What determines his growth and development is his roots in the Word of God. We are encouraged to study the Word day and night. Make that effort to study. You will bear good fruits. You don't grow by assumptions. In addition, connect with the gathering of believers that fire you up and build your faith in God. Get committed and you will see your life flourish. Amen.

Happy New year 2022! It's another beginning and we are reminded that God is a creator. He has given us the ability to create things just as He does. Take that step this year,and don't be afraid to create things. Remember to put in finisse and admire your creation just as He did. Have a great year 2022!

There are so many things we don't need in our lives if you look very closely. We are encouraged to put away anger, wrath, unforgiveness and every stumbling block or habits from our lives. As we prepare for the new, let us focus on Christ and the sacrifice on the cross. Look beyond what people do, did or don't do . Then you will walk in the grace God provides to live above the ordinary. God bless you.

I thought to share some words of encouragement relating to my latest single " You Will Smile Again ". Whatever season you're in, God has a plan for your life. We are assured that victory is sure in Christ Jesus. Let us hold onto the Word and keep our focus for victory is sure. We will sing the victory song. This new song is available on all platforms. Be strengthened as you listen.

We can enjoy peace in the midst of chaos. Here, we are encouraged to hold onto the peace of God irrespective of what we maybe faced with. The Lord is fighting for us and we will sing the victory song. The times are difficult but there is a provision for us to enjoy God's peace by His word. In Him, those obstacles don't matter because we know how the story ends. God bless you.

There is a reason to shout! It could be a shout of thanksgiving, of praise FOR the Lord has given you the city! You may not see it physically or maybe in the process of acquiring your desired status. Whatever phase you're in, The Lord has given us victory. That sacrifice on the cross is more than enough. He is saying shout! The walls will crumble as you do. Can you hear the trumpet sound? I can. It's time to give thanks. The Lord reigns.

Starting a new job? Believing God for something new? The Lord has given you the land. This is a word of assurance just as God told Joshua. I" have given you this land". Take courage, do your research, and you will discover that the Lord has gone ahead of you. There's a "Rahab" waiting for you in Jericho when you take that step. God bless you.

Jos 1:9 BBE Have I not given you your orders? Take heart and be strong; have no fear and do not be troubled; for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. Yes, The Lord is with you as He spoke to Joshua. We are reminded that no matter what the circumstances before or around us, He is standing by us and will fulfill every word He has spoken. Stay strong.

Psalm 18 vs 19. The Lord has brought us into a place where we can enjoy His grace. A place where we have space to be what He made us to be. This is a Prophetic word to you. As He enlarges you, you will see a difference in your life and come to a realisation that the limitations you used to experience no longer hold you bound. You will sing a NEW song because you have been enlarged.

We serve a God that is able to do what He has spoken. In Him, there are no limits. Let us magnify His word over our thoughts and concerns. Has He spoken to you? Just believe and rest in Him. All things will work out perfectly.

The Lion of the tribe of Judah has prevailed over every situation. In Revelation 5:1-end we see how the elder declared Jesus, who is referred to as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David " worthy to open the book" He has prevailed means He won the victory by the blood He shed for you and I. This means , our victory is sure in all areas. Our affliction for a moment cannot be compared to the glory God has instore for us. Be bold, step out of the boat of fear and worry or from any boat you need to move away from. . Fix your eyes on the Word of God. Victory is sure. You will win!

Here we spoke about the attributes of God. We are assured of God's love towards us. The Lord is always ready to show us favour. He is rich in love. Let us embrace His love daily and walk in that understanding, knowing we are not alone.

Something to think about..... A future generation that fears and loves God. We see a unique family in 2Ti 1:5 NET I recall your sincere faith that was alive first in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice, and I am sure is in you. There was a transfer of a sincere faith from grandma to mum and Timothy. Can we begin to think about mentorship? That good thing that is in you , consider transferring to a future generation that there may be no extinction. God bless you.

Paul said in Rom 8 vs 28 that we are persuaded ALL things, the trials, the pain, the good, the victories work together. They are all part of the puzzle. They will all come together for your good. This is veey assuring. For those who love and are walking with God, be encouraged that God has a good plan and will finish it. Stay strong.

God is love and wants us to be like Him in all ways. Here we are admonished to make the effort to cultivate love in our communities. Love can be felt, making it fervent will be an advantage to us and those around. We remember those in distress, War torn regions and pray for those who don't deserve our love. Challenge yourself to go an extra mile by showing love to someone today. God bless you.

Psa 34:5 WEB They looked to him, and were radiant. Their faces shall never be covered with shame. God wants us to focus on Jesus who is the Word of God. He was there from the beginning and is at the finishing line. There is illumination that comes from focusing on Him. You will not be ashamed. Amen.

Mark 11 vs 24 is a prayer formula Jesus taught His disciples. If you desire a thing, pray about it. Next, believe you have received it, Then you will have it. That is the faith we show as believers. The way of the world is see it, then believe. That doesn't work for us as Christians. God bless you.

Heb 12 vs 1 makes us know we have a cloud of witnesses. There are people who have gone ahead of us, heroes of faith cheering us on! Therefore, hold on to the faith. Lay aside every doubt in your heart. There is no temptation that is new. You have overcome!

Fear is a crippler, Faith is a shield. Very often it is the fear of what will happen that consumes us and makes God who is our source look unable to help us. We are encouraged to choose Faith in God over fear by making bold declarations in those difficult times. Strength will rise as you do so and you will see clearly. What you fear will not happen. In Jesus name. Amen.

Rev 4 vs 11 makes us know we were created for God's pleasure. We live in a time where pleasing God is not much talked about. Everyone loves to focus on making it and pleasingthemselves. This is a reminder of the purpose of our creation. Let us make deliberate effort to stand for righteousness as we see gross darkness increase.

Hebrews 6 vs 9-10. Here we are encouraged to continue in service to God. God sees the love you spread abroad or in that corner where you are. He sees your work and will reward you. You may be disappointed by people's attitude or those taking you for granted. Choose to focus on God, He will come for you. There are better days ahead.

Hebrews 1 vs 1-2 tells us God has spoken to us in these last days by His Son. Indeed we are in the last days and there are many voices. To identify God and keep track with what He is saying, we need to go deeper in the study of the Bible. Do something different today. Study study study.

In Peter's last days on earth, he reminded the brethren of salient foundational truths to hold dearly knowing the tendency to forget. Given the times we are in, this is a reminder to you and I that our faith in Christ is not based on gimmicks, not fables but is based on a SURE word of prophecy. It is real. Therefore, we shouldn't be disappointed or discouraged by false prophets or Christians all around the world or around us. Return to your encounter with Jesus if you have had one and choose to grow in grace and knowledge. The King is coming.

Isaiah 60 vs 1-2 is a wake up call to all Christians around the world. We live in a time where there is gross darkness all over that has never been before in our generation. There is no better time to shine your light than now. The world wants to see heaven in your eyes. Rise up, take your place! This is a special podcast edition as we anticipate the release of my new single titled "Arise and Shine". It will be available on all platforms on 4th June, 2021. You can follow us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/Voice-Of-Encouragement-VOE-120436359507010/ YouTube https://youtube.com/channel/UCwS9wdeZD41-sQ7NP5hKazg Instagram https://www.instagram.com/voice_of_encouragement_?r=nametag

Psalm 5 vs 12 Thr Lord surrounds us with favour like a shield. Life throws stones at us and quite often we may feel deflated. We are reminded that the love of God surrounds us. Nothing can separate us from that love. What can you see around you?

Joh 9:4 NHEB We must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work. If you are reading this, I believe it is "daytime" for you. God is saying do the work you have been created for. Those things impressed in your heart. Take your place. Your reward is with God. He will say "well done" when we see Him face to face. "Night" comes when no one can work. Your little effort is or will make a great impact. Arise and shine!

Ideas come from God. He continually gives instructions on this journey. Are you looking for fresh ideas or are already on a project? In John 1 vs 43 Jesus told Philip to follow Him. I believe God is saying same to you now. He knows the way to go, He is the way. Just FOLLOW! Let Him take the driving seat while you relax.There will always be options but follow Him.Those instructions you have received are seeds. God bless you.

Thank God we have the Word as our weapon. In Luke 4, we read the account of the temptation of Jesus. Everytime the devil spoke, Jesus answered him. Today, we still face temptations, whispers and battles from the devil especially in our minds. We are encouraged to speak up against those thoughts that challenge God's word in your life. Your ears need to hear the declaration, so do not keep quiet. Like Jesus did, answer him. Respond to situations by the Word! Declare that you will not die but live to declare the goodness of God. Psalm 118vs 17. Amen.

Psalm 27 vs 1-3. "The Lord is my light and my salvation. This is my confidence" That was David's declaration in this bible passage. People have confidence in their abilities, knowledge, networks and so on. They are good, however fear still sets in as they sometimes fail. The Lord never fails and He is saying, "let your confidence be in me. I am your light and your salvation". I provide strength, you don't need to be afraid". Amen.

In Psalm 3, King David was in a low place. He fled from his son Absalom. Can you imagine that? It must have been difficult as he may have felt insecure. It is hard to run away from a family member who knows you so well. However, he remembered how God has always helped him and declared in vs 3. Lord you are my shield! You will bring me to glory in all these things. You will make me shine and lift my head. God is saying to you, wherever you may be, whatever is going on. "I am your shield". I will take care of you. Remember this.

The bible makes us understand that the JOY of the Lord is your Strength! We have been through a lot in the past year. Thank God we are still here. God is saying make the effort to gather strength daily. If you faint in adversity, it means you didn't have enough strength. As things start to ease, we are reminded to gather spiritual strength. How? Studying the word, prayer, fellowship with believers and more. You have to be intentional about it. Prov 24 vs 10, Heb 10 vs 25.

Daniel 1 vs 8 reminds us of how Daniel sensed in his heart that it wouldn't be pleasing to God if he ate all the royal dainties. He discerned that it wasn't the right thing to do at that time. We live in a time where we have to be discerning as standards have shifted. Evil is called good more often than not. We are to please God always as we see the day approaching. Therefore, make up your mind to please God always. Discern in your heart and take a position with God. You will be able to stand the test of time. Daniel overcame, so you will.

1 Tim 6 vs 12 We are admonished to fight for the establishment of God's kingdom in our life, like in The Lord's prayer. Let His kingdom come in your life but you need to continually enforce it because Matt 11 vs 12 tells us we have a resistance to our peace. Therefore, we need to take the kingdom by force. Fight, don't give up. Choose your battles, submit to God whatever the situation, then resist the devil, situations working contrary and God's word willl work for you.

People are losing hope, giving up due to the times we are in. We are reminded that there is hope in God. Don't give up. Abraham hoped against hope and received God's approval. He believed God was able to do anything in His own time. God's word is like water, it will make you live through the seasons of life. Remember, our hope transcends beyond this life, there is a hereafter, so speak to yourself, tell your soul to put it's hope in God. Bless Him, and He will lift your countenance.

Psalm 37 vs 23-24. Your steps are ordered of God. As you take those steps and make bold strides, things may not look all together or as perfect as you may want it. Know that you may trip but remember, The Lord is holding you in His hand and you have an assurance of victory. Trust Him. You will not be utterly cast down.

2Tim 1 vs 7. God has given us a siund mind. It is a gift from God. The devil doesn't want you to succeed. No matter the pressure around you, declare God's word over your life continually "i have a sound mind". It works!

God sent Elijah to hide himself in 1 kings 17 and commanded a raven to provide him food daily. He was a man of like passion as we are. In this year, whatever your dreams are, God has provided a wqy for you. Look out for the raven. It may not be a usual thing, just be sensitive to God. He will come for you.

Acts 10 38, God anointed Jesus with the Holy ghost and power and He went about using it to create good and healed the oppressed. We have received the anointing and are admonished to use it this year and beyond. Do not leave it dormant. Stir it up. In creating good you grow in it. It will enable you do what you naturally cannot do. It's like oil in a bottle Pour it out and let it spread to others. You have something to offer.

To forsake means to abandon, a state of no activity, nothing happening etc. Psalm 37 vs 25 the psalmist said all through his lifetime, he has never witnessed a righteous man forsaken by God! Even his sons, generations after him, have never had cause to beg for bread. It is heartwarming to know that God is in the midst of the ongoing chaos and though it may appear nothing is happening, He has not forsaken us. He is still doing wonders in our lives! He is saying, be still and expereince me as God!

1 Timothy 4 vs 16. instructs us to pay attention to ourselves and to doctrine. We often neglect ourselves more often than not as we try to accomplish so many things. We try to make our marriage work, businesses, projects, churches etc. These can keep us really busy with little or no time for ourselves. This is a word of instruction to be like Mary as the year comes to a close. Give yourself some attention, maybe physical, spiritual or both. Take time to do nothing.. Then you will save yourself and your listeners.

1 Peter 2 verse 9 makes us know who we are in Christ Jesus. We have been made royal, chosen irrespective of our background. We now belong to a royal family. The devil always wants to attack your identity so you live a lie, believe a lie. Instead, rise up and focus on the WORD. You are who God says you are, you walk in authority, your words are powerful. Refuse to allow darkness in your life but show forth God's praise daily. That's your assignment here on earth dear royal ambassadors.

Psalm 34 vs 19-20 tells us that there are many afflictions of the righteous BUT our God is a strong deliverer. He will save us from them all and do it perfectly. Not one of our bones shall be broken.

Hebrews 12 vs 12 is a reminder to us as believers to lift up our hands that hang down in despair and our weak knees. The adversary likes christains to be weary so they can be exploited.

By doing this, you become strengthened to withstand the storm and hear His voice.

Jesus said in John 14 vs 1"Let not your heart be troubled, ye believe in God, believe also in me". This is a word of assurance to us as christians who may be going through stressful situations.

What you focus on controls you.

All over the world, there is a cry for change. People desire things to happen, communities, nations all calling for change. 2 Corinthians 3 vs 18 tells us change comes by the Word of God. As we look, study the Word we are changed. The Word is like a mirror, we look into it and see the image of Jesus. The more we look, we become like Him. He transforms us. We need to go back to studying the Bible, there is glory in it, it is potent and can change. Then we become a living proof, a letter of Christ to the world that the WORD works!

The effectual, heartfelt fervent prayer of the righteous man is powerful. We are reminded that Elijah was a man. He prayed and great things happened. We also can do great things through prayer.

Ephesians 2 vs 10 tells us we are God's workmanship and the purpose of our creation is to do good works. We live in a time when it is becoming increasingly difficult to do good to people for many reasons that may be legitimate, due to peoples' negative attitude, insecurity to say the least. God is reminding us that where darkness is, that is where we should shine brighter because that is where light is needed. Then God gets the glory as we do good, our world becomes what He intended. So, do not allow darkness overshadow you. Do good.

2Tim 3 vs 1-2 makes us know that in the last days there will be difficult times and as a result, people will be unthankful, ungrateful.

Job 22 vs 29 Reminds us of what to do at a time like this where men are cast down. We constantly hear and see things that make the heart fail. We are admonished to speak Gods word.

The times are difficult all around. Walking through the tunnel of life can be wearying when we focus on our strength, the physical barriers or what our senses say altogerher. We are reminded that it is through GOD alone we shall conquer and do exceedingly well. Be strengthened for it shall be by Gods power and He will get the glory.

The hearts of men are failing. People are losing hope and there is gross darkness upon thr earth. God wants us to continue holding onto the Word we have learned and been assured of. It may be a rhema word, our faith in Him. He has promised He will be with us. His word is the light we need to navigate through the darkness., through the broken heart. So hold onto the Word, that's where strength lies. He will come through. He did for Abraham and will do so again. Be rest assured.

Jesus the high priest is speaking for us continually. No matter the opposition we face in life, no matter who may have spoken against you. We know there is an accuser of the brethren-the devil. However, God has not left us alone. We have an advocate, Jesus who is speaking and has spoken good concerning us. Let that encourage you, so come boldly to God who is able to save to the uttermost. Come by and with the Word of God and refuse every negative word in the place of prayer. Enforve what God said concerning you.

This is the first of a series where we dwell on who God is. Here we proclaim God is a good shepherd. He is a good leader. In life, we are on a journey as we walk with God.

You have a guarantee for green pastures, still waters, restoration. Name it! Only trust Gods leadership because if Jesus could lay down his life for you while we were yet sinners, He can do anything for us.

God has a provision for us daily. He desires that we long for him for there's satisfaction in Him. In Him, we find our strength, peace.

God so loved the world that He gave us Jesus as a way out of destruction.. Anyone who believes in Him will not be destroyed but will enjoy eternal life which starts here on earth. Jesus is the blessing intentionally given by God to us. Let us focus on the blessing and not on our cares or uncertainties that surround us. The blessing will speak for us and distinguish us as we focus on him. Things may look difficult now, but give your attention to the blessing.. Jesus saves and through Him, you will not be destroyed.

We live in unprecedented times with so many uncertainties around us. Every nation is affected, our normal life has been forced to change drastically due to coronavirus.

Jesus our redeemer lives forever to make intercession for us. He can do more than just getting us saved. There may be lots of unpleasant situations in our lives. Those situations are variables, COVID-19 is not a constant. Every other thing is a variable. God is the only constant. So just like Job, let us arise and declare what we know 'My redeemer lives' and hope will rise again. It is better to walk in faith than in fear. Shalom!

We are the temple of the living God and God has given us authority to take charge over situations in our lives by prayer. When we dont pray, we allow thieves and robbers to dwell in our lives. They only destroy and break us. Let us arise and fan into flame our prayer lives enforcing Gods word in our lives, nothing missing, nothing broken in His name. Wake up and pray. There shall be a turn around!

What you focus on determines what you become or achieve. Christ lives in you. He is possibility. Ephesians 3 vs 20 says He is able to do much more than we can ask or think according to his power at work in you. Dont limit yourself, Think possibilities, you can do it through Christ. Stretch!

We live in a world where God wants us to indeed be sons. There are so many decisions to make daily and different options to take. As believers, we have an advantage and that is the Holy Spirit in us.

As christains, it is the Word of God that defines us. Things around us, life situations, people around always want to define who we are. It usually comes with this silent voice "not good enough" .
