Be Strong, Be Courageous

Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. - Joshua 1:9

After the death of Moses, God choose Joshua as the new leader for Israelites. Being a new terrain for Joshua, God repeatedly told him to be Strong and Courageous.  

At times, we are thrust unexpectedly into a new role or a new terrain. In times like that, we  are not to falter nor timid, rather we are to be bold and of good courage.

God has not given us the spirit of fear. As long as God is on our side, we are not to fear anything whatsoever. New ideas will come, some might start a new business, some will be put into a new role. Whatsoever it is, it shouldn't scare us.

The challenges of leading the Israelite was really enormous for Joshua but God assured him everything will be fine.

To someone reading this, whatsoever challenges you might be facing in your job, business, academics, family, relationship etc, God is assuring you, all will be fine; all you need do is to be courageous and strong.

Timid and doubt weakens and diminishes you. And it's also a sign of not trusting God enough.

With God, you are no longer alive to fear. We have dominion as believers, we have victory as believers, we have boldness as believers. Nothing should weigh us down because we know better.

The promises of God are sure and yea. He has promise to be with us every step of the way. All He wants from  us is to trust Him enough to be courageous, strong and bold.

To someone fearful about the uncertainty of the future, stop fearing and commit everything unto God.

I pray that every challenges facing us in the year 2018 will confronted and overcome. It's our year of overcoming.

Victorious Morning and a victorious day to you.

Made a Way: The Story Behind The Song

Made a way is a song written and sang by award winning artist Travis Greene in the year 2015. Many people knows the song but few actually know the story behind the song. The song was actually borne out of a personal testimony of Travis Greene. According to the artist, 'Made a Way' was written during an impossible situation. His pregnant wife’s water broke at 21 weeks, when pregnancy normally takes between 37-42 weeks. The doctors said the possibility of the baby’s survival is slim to none, and it was during this period when his wife was on bed rest for two months that he wrote the song. There was nothing else for them to hold on to but faith, and the good news is that as slim as the chance was, it didn’t break because faith held it together and today their baby boy is alive.  When Jesus was on His way to heal Jairus’s daughter and news came that things had gone from bad to worse, that the girl was dead. Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me...

If Men Were God

He sends  rain  on the just and on the unjust. - Matthew 5:44 It's raining as I type this post and I remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 5:45 where he talks about  God sending the rain on both the just and unjust. God won't because are a sinner or a bad personal withdraw the rain from Falling on your side. One special trait we are to emulate from God is that we should not discriminate. If men were God, the rain will be raining only on the good, the sun will be shinning only on the perfect. We humans readily discriminate, we isolate those we feel are not perfect or good. We see those who have sinned as been candidates of hell as if we haven't sinned before. One major problem of our society is discrimination. Even in church, we discriminate, we see that prostitute and we readily condemned her. We readily forget that as children of God, we don't just do good to good people, we are to do good to everybody. It doesn't matter how bad a person might be, you ...
