ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL FOR WHAT YOU HAVE PT1


MEMORY VERSE: - Genesis 2:16-17 - "[16] And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: [17] but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."

Being grateful for what you have is something that many believers find difficult to do. A lot of believers are fond of focusing on what they do not have than what they have that they get so overwhelmed by it. They feel so terribly bad over that one thing and neglect all the good things that the Lord has done for them.

In the case of Adam and Eve, God gave them the whole earth and everything in it, he gave them the firmament, the sea and all that is in it. Everything created was delivered into their hands to rule and reign over. Yet, they still allowed themselves to be deceived by the devil and focused on the only one thing they do not have. They had 99% of all that God created but still went after the one thing that God did not give them.

The scripture in Genesis 3:1 said, "Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?" Now, they were initially living their lives in all perfection. All was working for them, their lives and home were peaceful and happy until the devil crept in and focused their attention on what they didn't have. 

This is exactly who the devil is. All he wants is to make you focus on what you don't have instead of being grateful and thankful for what you have and many are allowing themselves to be his victim. As a result, most believers are never satisfied with what they have, they complain and murmur because of that one thing that they don't have. 

They allow the devil to lay hold on their mind by making them concentrate on the one thing that they don't have yet, thus, they become ungrateful for what they have and ungratefulness has taken many people out of their garden.

PRAYER:
Glorious Father, I thank you for every good thing you have done in my life and family. Thank you for your consistence supply, thank you for helping us when we needed it in Jesus Amen.

GO BEYOND BOUNDARY

  AbayeLiz Daily Inspirational GO BEYOND BOUNDARY MEMORY VERSE: - Micah 2:13 - “He who opens the breach goes up before them; they break through and pass the gate, going out by it. Their king passes on before them, the Lord at their head"   To 'Go' is to make a movement, while 'beyond' is to stretch more than usual, it's to go further, to go farther than normal, to go over the above limits. Boundaries are limitations, or confines. It is something that indicates or fixes a limit to one's life. Furthermore, Boundaries are restrictions, it keeps people from moving forward in life and destiny. It holds people back from going over to the next level and from crossing over to the other side of life as ordained by God for them. It is a dividing line which marks the limits of an area.  So to go beyond boundary is to make extra effort, to go above a way that exceeds humans expectations or any force expectations.  There are various kind of Boundaries, we have Personal...

PURGE OUT THE OLD

  AbayeLiz Daily Inspirational   PURGE OUT THE OLD MEMORY VERSE: - Joshua 1:1-2 - "After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord , the Lord said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ aide: “Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them—to the Israelites" (NIV). Our text today shows us the end of one era and the beginning of a new one. The death of Moses marks an end to an era and the emergence of Joshua marks the beginning of a new one. Now understand that until the first was taken away, the second couldn't have spring forth. God always takes away one to establish the other (Heb. 10:9) . You can't have both old and new mix together, otherwise it will be ruined. You must take out the old that has not been favourable, beneficial, valuable to you so that the new can come forth. Jesus said, "No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled ...

WALKING IN THE SPIRIT

 AbayeLiz Daily Inspirational WALKING IN THE SPIRIT MEMORY VERSE: - Galatians 5:26 - "Walk by the spirit and you shall not fulfil the works of the flesh." The heavenly Father has given us of His Holy Spirit help us through life journey. But most of us are not walking by Him thus He is not influencing all we do. Walking by the spirit is living a life that is influenced by the Spirit. It is living your life in the continual guidance of the Spirit of God. So, there shouldn't be a moment when we are left on our own. We are to build our relationship with the Holy Spirit and be daily guided by Him. If we are overwhelmed by the Holy Spirit we will not have room for any other forces to manipulate. The scripture says, "If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit." That is to say, Since we are living by the Spirit, we are to follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. The reference "Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might" ...
