LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF ISAIAH 26:4 (Amp)


"“Trust [confidently] in the Lord forever [He is your fortress, your shield, your banner],For the Lord God is an everlasting Rock [the Rock of Ages]."

10 KEYS THE POWER OF TRUST .



1.Trust grows better in adversity .Psalm 46:2(NIV)"Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,."
2.Trust establishes the word in our spirit. Helps it to take root . See the parable of the sower .Mark 4:17 (NIV)"But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away."
3.Trust is what grows the word in our spirit . When you put your trust in the word , it grows. Prov 3:5(NIV)"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;."
4.When trust enters into the soil of the word , it becomes hard for Satan to steal it . Remember who he is in John 10:10a (NLT)"The thief's purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life."
5.Revelation produces trust . Once you catch it , it refuels your trust in Him.Psalm 9:10(NIV)"Those who know your name trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you."
6.There is power in the word. your faith built on a platform of trust will activate the impossible when you simply believe it.  Eph 3:20 (Amp)" Now to Him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us,."
7.Trust does not disappoint . Why? The one whom you trust is the Maker of the heavens and Earth . Jer 32:27 (Net)""I am the LORD God of all humanity. Nothing is too hard for me."
8.If you can see it , it will not be hard for you to trust Him.Can you see it ? Jer 1:11(Amp)"The word of he Boss of all Bosses. the Lord came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” And I said, “I see the branch of an [a]almond tree.”
9.your knowledge of the word builds your trust in the word . So lack of knowledge means lack of trust . Prov 24:5(Amp)"A wise man is strong,And a man of knowledge strengthens his power;" is the strenght (knowledge) that fuels that trust.
10.Thanksgiving is a trust builder . Psalm 50:23(Amp)"He who offers a sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving honors Me;And to him who orders his way rightly [who follows the way that I show him],I shall show the salvation of God.”




Prayer : Father help me to trust you in Jesus name , Amen.

you are blessed !

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF ROMANS 8:28 (NLT)




"And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them." (MY TESTIMONY )



Many years ago , I had issues with people I thought could help me back then , but didn't. I had an ill feeling towards them and I became bitter , because I felt they where in a position to help , but they refused. I don't know about you , but I am over glad they never did and I give you my 10 reasons why I thank God that they never did. Never the less , I appreciate them , wonderful people and great to be with . But here is the key - If God does not help you , who has the power to help you . His word cannot lie . So rather than being bitter or hating someone , they are not your source , but God is . Amen. be blessed as you read .



10 KEYS HOW GOD USED IT TO WORK FOR MY GOOD.




1.If they had gone ahead to help me back then , this verse of scripture would not have made any sense to me John 15:5 (NLT)"Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing." Why? Guess what would have happened if they did . I would have missed knowing the power in the name of Jesus , I would have missed knowing a great and a true friend . Jesus !!
2.If people I knew in the world had helped me back then , I would not have being saved by now , because they would have been my saviour and not Jesus. I cannot imagine a life without JESUS !! I cannot imagine . It worked for my good . I found Jesus , when they didn't help me .Jer 29:13 (NIV)"You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."
3.If people I knew back then (rich) had helped me , by now they would have being playing
the role of a god in my life and not God the ruler of the whole universe . Today many people worship man because of the role they have played in their lives , they see them like god's and they worship them. some would even say something like I owe my life to this person not God the creator of the person. wow That would have been me !! . God saved me from it .Isaiah 43:1"But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine."
4.If people I knew back then in the world had helped me , I would not have known God the way I do now .Why? I would still be counting on them for their assistance. And guess" what would have happened at the end .Jer 17:5"Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD." it would have turned into a curse at the end .see verse 6 (GWT)"He will be like a bush in the wilderness. He will not see when something good comes. He will live in the dry places in the desert, in a salty land where no one can live."
5.If this people had helped me ,I would have missed one of the greatest principles in scripture .FAITH . hmm...Thank God I can use my faith today !! Matt 21:21 (ESV)"And Jesus answered them, “Truly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen."
6.If people I knew back then had helped , maybe by now I would have being running around
seeking for people to pray for me with money not with faith . But thank God today , I can pray well by His grace . Amen. James 5:16 (NASB)"Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much."
7.If people I knew then had help , pride would have being the controller of my life and not Jesus the author of life . And what would have happened ? Himself would have resisted by progress and not even the enemy . 1 Peter 5:5 (NIV)"In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, "God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble."
8.If people I knew then had helped ,rather then run errands for God , I would have being
running unholy errands for them .And what if the rapture where to take place at such times ? God forbid ! I thank my God today I am saved and getting prepared for His coming . James 5:8 (NASB)"You too be patient; strengthen your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near."
9.If people I knew back then had helped , I would not have known my true brothers and sisters in the lord , but still be hanging with those not ready for the heavenly call. Light and darkness don't mix . 2 Cor 6:14 (Amp)" Do not be unequally bound together with unbelievers [do not make mismatched alliances with them, inconsistent with your faith]. For what partnership can righteousness have with lawlessness? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?
10. If people I knew had helped back then , where else do you think I would have being ? still partying in the clubs and wasting my life away and you won't be reading this today and getting encouraged .So thank God if you are going through what I went through , God is using it to work for your good . trust Him . Amen. Remember Joseph in scripture , it worked for his good . Gen 50:20 (Amp)"As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present outcome, that many people would be kept alive [as they are this day]."



Pray like this with me , father I thank you that today what I am going through is all working for my good in Jesus mighty name I give Him thanks , Amen. clap for Jesus !!




you are blessed!

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF LUKE 5:4 "Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught."

10 KEYS -WHEN YOU LAUNCH YOUR FAITH IN THE DEEP .


1.When launching your faith into the deep , you are what I call "on your own" . Don't try to look for support . It is your faith in God and God alone . Jesus went to the cross alone .John 19:17 (NLT)"Carrying the cross by himself, he went to the place called Place of the Skull (in Hebrew, [Golgotha])."
2.Your conviction about what you believe is possible is you alone . Don't try to convince people to believe it with you , some might believe it , but majority will think you are mad . so it is better to just work out your convictions yourself .1 Cor 16:13,14( Msg)" Keep your eyes open, hold tight to your convictions, give it all you’ve got, be resolute, and love without stopping."
3.One major key to launching your faith into the deep is the power of persistence . Against all hope Abraham believed , the more persistent you are , the more you will continue to believe it ( the impossible) Luke 18:8(Amp)"I tell you that He will defend and avenge them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find [this kind of persistent] faith on the earth?”
4.Launching your faith into the deep , is what I call a long journey on your own . people might assist you along the way , but they will never go along with you to the end . Why? they also have their own vision too . so let them go .never try to convince any one to come back . why ? God's support is what you need to get the job done . Isaiah 26:4(Amp)"Trust [confidently] in the Lord forever [He is your fortress, your shield, your banner],For the Lord God is an everlasting Rock [the Rock of Ages]."
5.When launching your faith into the deep , get ready to pray . Why? the deeper the prayer, the deeper the faith gets into the deep .And most times such prayers is done in isolation , so don't fret yourself when you don't have a prayer partner to pray with you . pray yourself . Luke 5:16 (NLT)"But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.".
6.When launching your faith into the deep , be prepared to face the persecutions and attacks from every side . Not to worry , you are in safe hands (God) . the persecutions only drives your faith more into the deep becoming more better and more convinced about what you believe. 2 Cor 4:17(Amp)"17 For our momentary, light distress [this passing trouble] is producing for us an eternal weight of glory [a fullness] beyond all measure [surpassing all comparisons, a transcendent splendor and an endless blessedness]!"
7.when launching your faith into the deep , trust is a major key , if you are going to survive in the deep (unknown) . you just have to trust God and not rely on your own understanding , because if you do , you might give up on the way .Remember Prov 3:5(NLT)"Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding."
8.when launching your faith into the deep , peace is one of the ropes you use in carrying your faith down into the deep , because in the deep their will be terrible storms , but the weapon of peace will always help you while in the deep. John 16:33(Amp)"I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.]"
9.When you are getting close to your mega testimony , get ready for the raging of the enemy . the attacks can become very fierce . but do not relent, trust and trust God. Isaiah 26:4 (Amp)"Trust [confidently] in the Lord forever [He is your fortress, your shield, your banner],For the Lord God is an everlasting Rock [the Rock of Ages]."
10.When launching your faith into the deep , get ready it is against all hope . don't look out for any signs , because you won't see any . but only hope, if you still insist on going with your journey .Rom 4:18 (Amp)"In hope against hope Abraham believed that he would become a father of many nations, as he had been promised [by God]: “So [numberless] shall your descendants be.”
11.When launching your faith into the deep , get ready it always looks like a hopeless case . but hope against all hope will give birth to hope because God is the source of the hope you have. Roms 15:13 (Amp)"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you will abound in hope and overflow with confidence in His promises."
13. When launch your faith into the deep , expectation is key . Always be expectant that today is the day you are going to hit it . Always be expectant ! Is key to getting results when in the deep. Lam 3:25 (Amp)"The Lord is my portion and my inheritance,” says my soul;“ Therefore I have hope in Him and wait expectantly for Him.”


Prayer : Father teach me Lord how to launch my faith into the deep in the name of Jesus , Amen.


you are blessed !!

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BOOK OF JOHN 16:33 (Msg)





"Jesus answered them, “Do you finally believe? In fact, you’re about to make a run for
it—saving your own skins and abandoning me. But I’m not abandoned. The Father is with me. I’ve told you all this so that trusting me, you will be unshakable and assured, deeply at peace. In this godless world you will continue to experience difficulties. But take heart! I’ve conquered the world.”




10 KEYS ON HOW TO LIVE IN DEEP PEACE IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR STORMS


1. First key -you cannot live in deep peace without first receiving and accepting Jesus as your lord and Saviour . Why? He is the author of our peace .Isaiah 9:6 "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."
2.You cannot enjoy His deep peace without knowing the author of peace .His word is peace in your spirit . So the more we seek to know Him via His word , the more His peace is established in our spirit. John 14:27"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you ; not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
3.Trust in God - trust grows better when you are in your storms and trust is what establishes His peace in our hearts . Key -psalm 62:8 "Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah."
4.Meditate on the word - The word of God is Spirit and life and the life of Christ is a life of peace ,even in our storms . Key- the more we meditate on His word , the more His peace is established in us with patience .Luke 8:15 "But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience."
5.Prayer - produces peace , worry denies you of His peace .So rather than worry , turn it into prayer . key - the deeper the prayer , the deeper the level of peace it brings . Key -phil 4:6,7 (Amp)"Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God. 7 And the peace of God [that peace which reassures the heart, that peace] which transcends all understanding, [that peace which] stands guard over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus [is yours]."
6. Praise - If you know how to praise God , there is no way you will not enjoy His deep peace . Why? In the midst of your praise He comes to dwell in you . wow ..Key . Psalm 91:1(Amp)"He who [a]dwells in the shelter of the Most High Will remain secure and rest in the shadow of the Almighty [whose power no enemy can withstand]."
7.Love is also connected to His peace (one of the fruits of the spirit). Jesus commanded us first to love the father with all our heart , soul , mind and body (Matt 22:37) . Why? without this first step , the second step to love our neighbour as ourselves will always prove difficult , when challenges come to try us . It is the love we have for God that produces the grace in Christ which in turn leads us to have "deep peace" when faced with our challenges or test of faith . 2 Cor 12:9 (Amp)"but He has said to me, “My grace is
sufficient for you [My lovingkindness and My mercy are more than enough—always available —regardless of the situation]; for [My] power is being perfected [and is completed and shows itself most effectively] in [your] weakness.” Therefore, I will all the more gladly boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ [may completely enfold me and] may dwell in me. "
8.Adore Him from your spirit - mere mouth worship won't produce any result . Why? He is not there . He comes to dwell in us when we worship and adore Him from deep within . That establishes His deep peace within us .John 4:24 (NIV)"God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth."
9.Reminding Him of His promises with love and joy - Appreciating Him and thanking Him , produces that love from within us, which comes to establish His deep peace in us . Isaiah 12:3 "With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation." Depression cannot draw it out , but joy mixed with love for God will produce that needed result , any day . Amen.
10.One of the best times to sow , is in our time of need . What it does is this , because we have a need and we still go ahead to sow , what happens is that we do it by faith and that faith can only come when we are sure ,we trust Him to deliver . So trust , deep trust is established when we sow in our times of need which in turn produces that deep peace in us in the midst of our storms . Bible says Gal 6:7 (NIV)"So let's not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up."



Prayer - Father teach me how to trust you in the midst of my storms in the name of Jesus , Amen.


you are blessed!

"And having risen up from the prayer, having come to the disciples, He found them sleeping from the grief."




10 KEYS WHEN FACED WITH THE DISCOURAGEMENT THAT WILL BLESS YOU .



1.Peace - When faced with the spirit of discouragement at times , we tend to lose our peace and give in to  the spirit depression and sadness . No! your peace in Christ is what will sustain you when discouragement comes . While in that atmosphere of discouragement , choose deliberately to hold your peace , while God is at work . Key - Job 22:21(Amp)"Now yield and submit yourself to Him [agree with God and be conformed to His will] and be at peace; In this way [you will prosper and great] good will come to you."
2.Watch your thoughts at such times , if you continue to think about what is happening to you or the situation you are facing , you are going to fall for it . No ! deliberately choose to think what God's word says concerning it and be hopeful .Phil 4:8(Amp)" Finally, believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect, whatever is right and confirmed by God’s word, whatever is pure and wholesome, whatever is lovely and brings peace, whatever is admirable and of good repute; if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think continually on these things [center your mind on them, and implant them in your heart]."
3.Sit down to study the word - Is not a time to start telling everyone that cares to listen your story , they also have their own problems too. Sit down in His presence and study .It is in His presence , He comes to encourage you , not outside. 2 Cor 1:3 (Amp)"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ , the Father of sympathy (pity and mercy ) and the God [ who is the source] of every comfort (consolation and encouragement)."
4.Prayer - prayer of petition , prayer of thanksgiving very important . Don't fall for the discouragement even for a second , rise to the occasion quickly and do what Jesus did in His moment of discouragement , He prayed the more .Luke 22:44(Amp)"And being in agony [deeply distressed and anguished; almost to the point of death], He prayed more intently; and His [a]sweat became like drops of blood, falling down on the ground."
5. Joy - Is the opposite of allowing the spirit of discouragement to set it . And how do you hold on to that joy in the midst of discouragement ? by giving Him thanks concerning what He has promised you with joy . You might not even understand it , but it works. Isaiah 12:3(NIV)"With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation." Like Psalm 37:4 .."Father I still thank you , because your word says if I take delight in you , you would grant me the secret petitions of my heart " . Key - play your role by faith and let Him answer you by faith . Mark 11:22 (Amp)" Jesus replied, “Have faith in God[constantly].
6. If you can it helps too - Worship - you can sing a song of worship or play songs of worship and just soak yourself in His presence . When He comes , there is no way you will not be lifted and encouraged again . See the life of David in the book of psalm 63:1"I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.".He worshipped ! And that was one weapon that really help David in his times of trouble.
7.Bridle your tongue - Don't be tempted to speak negatively now . Hold your peace and allow the Holy Spirit to put the right words in your mouth to speak . Amen .Isaiah 50:4"The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned."
8.Continue to sow your good seeds and let it not discourage you . If you have an opportunity to help someone still go ahead and do it . key - Psalm 37:3 (NLT)"Trust in the LORD and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.". It works.
9.Guard your heart because Satan is going to come after it to see that you are discouraged . shut him off . And be positive . confess and say to your self " my God will make it to work for my good in Jesus name , amen. I am His child , period !! Roms 8:28(NLT)"And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them."
10.Finally go into your closet and just thank Him , don't mind the tears ,never let go of your faith and trust in the lord . still appreciate Him and give Him all the glory . Amen. 1 Thess 5:18 (NLT)"Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus."


prayer - father I need you to encourage me now in Jesus name , Amen. (He will trust Him) Amen.
