THE BATTLE IS THE LORD'S

THE BATTLE IS THE LORD'S MEMORY VERSE: - Chronicles 20:15b - "This is what the LORD says to you: 'Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God's." (NIV). This saying goes amongst believers, 'there are battles to fight and victories to win'. However, these battles are not fought by human's strength because what we are up against is not physical even as Paul told us, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (Ephesians 6:12). Although many do not understand this spiritual realm of the Lord's battle hence, they tend to fight the battle by their strength.... In the book of Zechariah 4:6 The God said, "....Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit...." If the battle is the Lord's where then do we come in? Or does it mean we do nothing? Of co

CAST YOUR BURDENS ON THE LORD 2

   CAST YOUR BURDENS ON THE LORD 2 MEMORY VERSE: - Psalm 55:22 - "Cast your burden upon the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.". Now, when we are talking about casting our burdens upon the Lord, many do not even know how to do so. They are perplexed and confused on how to go about it. But the word of God did not leave us clueless on how we can cast our burdens upon the Lord. Paul in Philippians 4:6 wrote, "Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done." (NLT). 1. Take It To God In Prayer. There's nothing that is impossible for a man or woman that prays. When we pray in faith, we position ourselves for the miraculous. The things that seems great before men are light or small in our eyes..... they are like soft potatoes that can be pressed down before us. Certainly, there's no mountain too high that cannot be made plain by prayer of faith. Ther

GOD IS WITH US

GOD IS WITH US MEMORY VERSE: - Isaiah 8:10 - “Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us" God is not only with us, but He is in us and he is for us. He lives in His children and he is in agreement with us and supports us. For that reason he said in Matthew 18:18 , "I tell you the truth, whatever you forbid on earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven" So, God is with us, He has always been with us, He will always be with us…and He is with us even now. Someone may say, if God is with us why do we have troubles? Understand that He never said that troubles will not come but said, he delivers us from them all (See Psalm 34:19). Furthermore, Jesus said, "In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." John 16:33 Our memory verse in Isaiah did not say that the enemy will not try to do something bad again

CAST YOUR BURDENS ON THE LORD

CAST YOUR BURDENS ON THE LORD MEMORY VERSE: - Psalm 55:22 - "Cast your burden upon the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken." To “Cast” in this verse means to throw, to shed, to fling or to give. So, the scripture admonish us to shed off our burdens, throw them out of our minds, and hand them over to the Lord to take care of things for us.  Certainly, everyone at a point in life get loaded down with burdens. For some, it is financial situation burden, some it is marital or relationship burden, some, it's emotional trauma burden, while for others, it's in their failing health etc.  When burdens are there, it hangs on us like a heavy weight, stealing our joy, happiness, peace and drains' our strength. Many are being choked with burdens because they are bearing it by themselves.  The Lord Jesus did not want us to bear our burdens in anyway but invites us to cast them all upon Him and he will give us His rest. "Come unto

GOD WILL FINISH WHAT HE STARTED

GOD WILL FINISH WHAT HE STARTED MEMORY VERSE: - Philippians 1:6 - “Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:” God doesn't do anything halfway, whatever he starts, he brings it into a perfect end. They maybe distractions in the process, they maybe some forces contending with you to stop you from getting to the finishing point but they can't stop you because they cannot stop He who is involved in the affairs of your life.  Therefore, no matter what the enemy throws your way, have faith in God, refuse to be distracted, refuse to be frustrated by anyone but stay focused: for the Lord God in the midst of your life is mighty and greater than all. Who can contend with Him, who can withstand His great power. He promised you that he is with you always. “And lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” (Matthew 28:20). And furthermore, in Hebrews 13:5 He said, "I will not leave you
