I Peter 4:8, Matt. 5:38-40...

We’ve all been hurt. We have scars, whether small or large, that are painful when anything makes contact with them. We all have a past that affects how we see things in our present.

It is okay to have been hurt. However, we encourage you today to acknowledge that God is doing something new in your life. Stop giving the people who have hurt you the power to live in your present. God is doing something new!

When you reflect on your past hurts, choose to think of the strength they have brought you instead of dwelling on the issues they have caused. When you give your hurts to God, He gives you something more powerful than your past hurts—He gives you His Spirit. And His Spirit will give you strength to trust again.

God's grace will be sufficient for you.

Have a blessed weekend.

HOW TO STOP FEAR, WORRY AND INSECURITY 1

I Cor. 10:13, Phillippians 2:8-9...

“After winter comes the summer. After night comes the dawn. And after every storm, there come clear, open skies.” – Samuel Rutherford

The truth behind Samuel Rutherford’s statement is what led Jesus to see beyond His crown of thorns to a crown of majesty; beyond the nails in His hands and feet to an exalted name in Glory; beyond the betrayal and abandonment of His disciples to the love and worship of those who would believe in Him; beyond the visible suffering to the invisible glory. Jesus could endure the suffering because He saw the blessing which would follow.

Beloved, as we start this new series today, we want you to know that this is the same perspective we should have in our trials. While it is true that God can make good come from the worst difficulties, He never asks us to paint a rosy picture of the distress, pain, disappointment, or discomfort we feel, or to pretend it doesn’t exist. Instead, He encourages us to look beyond the present hardships we face to the blessings which will come if we don’t quit. That’s what it means to persevere. That’s what it takes to win.

There will be times when the going gets tough. It might be a hard time selling a house. It may be a terrible trial involving a loved one. A company may close. Something will go wrong at some time, and we will have to make a choice: am I going to become a victim of despair and self-pity, or am I going to fight my way through it and be a victor with God’s help? If we want to win, then we need to persevere — but the choice is ours.

Prayer: Father, I thank you for your grace that has kept me going even in difficult times. I ask for your help and strength to hold on and trust in you no matter what I am going through, so that I can receive my "crown". In Jesus name, Amen.

We see the Lord strengthening you.
Good morning and Happy new Month Beloved.

Starting Over Your Life Beyond Regrets: Living Beyond Your Regrets

Lam. 3:19-24, Rev. 21:3-5

As we round up this series today, we want you to know that you can live beyond regrets permanently. The starting-over process is not just a one-time fix, but rather a skill you can employ whenever you need it. When something goes wrong in life, you can recover your momentum quickly and keep moving forward. Living beyond regrets can become a way of life.

To help you in this, you will need to make sure the starting-over process of the three R’s – Recognize, Release, Redeem – is fixed firmly in your mind.

It begins when you recognize your regret and face it head-on, identifying it for what it is, making it out to be neither too big nor too small, and then interrogating it for what it can teach you. You’re not indulging sorrowful feelings. You’re gathering valuable feedback for the change that’s coming.

The next step comes when you release your regret and experience forgiveness that can only be found in Jesus. If you have yet to find your way back to God, turning your life over to him is exactly what you need to do so that you will have the power to ask other people to forgive you, forgive others, ask God’s forgiveness, forgive people who have offended you, forgive the world, or forgive yourself. Holding on to regret is just too great a burden. Whatever it takes, let it go!

The final step is to redeem your regret. This is something only God can do. You need to trust him and wait expectantly for him to act and bring victory out of what seems like a total loss. In the meantime, prepare yourself as best you can for how God may choose to bring about redemption. Just remember that God doesn’t always act in the way we expect – he acts beyond our expectations!

By starting over, you can put your regrets behind you. They lose their power when they no longer pose obstacles to forward motion. That’s an amazing thing. How awesome it would be if those regrets could be erased entirely. That’s just what’s going to happen one day! For those who have found their way back to God, we’ve got a new existence coming. It’s an eternal life that knows no regret.

Prayer: Father, thank you for your Word and for always looking out for me. I ask that you forgive me of any form of unforgivenesss today, help me to forgive genuinely and help me to let go of any regret(s) that I'm still holding on to. In Jesus name, Amen.

We see the Lord helping and strengthening you.
Good morning beloved, have a wonderful day.

Instead, He encourages us to believe and look beyond the present hardships we face to the blessings which will come if we don’t quit. That’s what it means to persevere. That’s what it takes to win.

Beloved, there will be times when the going gets so so tough and we will have to make a choice: am I going to become a victim of despair and self-pity, or am I going to fight my way through it and be a victor with God’s help?
If we want to win, then we need to persevere — but the choice is ours.

We see God helping you to hold on this season.

Starting Over Your Life Beyond Regrets:Redeem Your Regrets

Rom. 8:28, Luke 15:11-24, Isaiah 64:4...

To exit the Sorry Cycle and start over, the first step is to recognize your regret, then release it. The third step in the process is best described by the term redeem. No other word so richly defines the way you break free from regret and move ahead.

In the New Testament, the word for redemption is used preeminently to describe what Jesus did by giving up his life for us on the cross. But it also reminds us that Jesus delivers us from our regrets and can make something beautiful out of them.

Historically, the word for “redemption” was used in reference to the purchase of a slave’s freedom. A slave was “redeemed” when the price was paid for his freedom. Why is that relevant? Because you can choose to be enslaved by your regrets, or you can let God redeem your regrets and find a freedom only he can give through Jesus.

God’s redemption can set you free from your captivity to the Sorry Cycle. He takes what you once considered a loss and turns it into a gain. He restores the hope you had thought was gone forever.

What sets this part of the process apart from the previous two steps is that redemption is not something you do. Rather, it is something only God can do. You simply bring your regrets to him and ask him to do what only he can do – make something beautiful out of them.

I can’t tell you in advance what your redemption is going to look like, but whatever your redemption turns out to be, it will be something incredible: a mistake turned into a miracle, evil converted to good, tragedy transformed into opportunity.

God’s redemption doesn’t erase whatever it was that happened to cause you regret, but his redemption does set it in a larger context of goodness, transforming the darkness of the past into the brightness of a new future.

Prayer: God, you know what happened that has caused me so much regret. I have done everything I can to release that regret and experience forgiveness. Now I ask you to do what only you can do: make good come from this regret. Turn the dark into light. I give this to you, dear God. Amen.

We see the Lord helping and strengthening you.
Good morning beloved, how have you been?

Starting Over Your Life Beyond Regrets: Release Your Regrets

Ps. 51:10-12, IJhn 1:8-9, Rom. 12:17-19, Col. 3:13...

Once you have recognized your regret for what it is, you are then ready for the second step: release your regrets. Ask yourself these five questions:

1. Do you regret committing a sin? Your regret may have been something you did that put distance between you and God. Letting go of that regret will require repentance and proceeding in a different direction. Repentance is relational. Repentance leads to forgiveness and brings you back into an intimate relationship with God.

2. Do you regret hurting someone else? If your regret is the result of hurt you caused to someone else, you have to do your best to bring healing to the wound you’ve inflicted. If possible, apologize to the person and ask forgiveness. If there are circumstances that make this impossible, you have to forgive yourself and pray that reconciliation may be possible later.

3. Do you regret a mistake you made? Sometimes you have made a tactical blunder, or committed an error in judgment, but it wasn’t a sin. It was an honest mistake or accident. So you don’t need to ask God’s forgiveness for it. You need to let yourself off the hook. Remind yourself that it is something to learn from, not something to torment yourself over.

4. Do you regret being hurt by someone else? If somebody else has done something wrong to you, the answer is easy – forgive him/her. Easy to say, right? Usually hard to do. Sometimes the deeds that have been done to you were unbelievably cruel and hurtful, and it might look like you cannot genuinely forgive. But you really have to forgive because God commanded it and it's also for your sake

5. Do you regret pain you feel from life’s circumstances? You developed a chronic illness. A terrible incident happened to you. Sometimes there is no one to blame for the regret you feel, it’s merely life’s circumstances that have caused your regret. Here is a word of caution: resist the temptation to blame God. He is never the author of evil... He grieves right alongside you and he wants you to share with him how you are feeling.

When you have done something wrong, or when something undeserved has happened to you, it’s easy to get hung up in guilt, blame, and grudge-holding. The questions and emotions inside you can prevent you from moving past your regrets and moving in a new direction. If regret has become a useless burden around your neck, drop it. Let it go. Release it.

Prayer: Father, thank you for always looking out for me. Please help me to genuinely forgive myself and people that have hurt me, and to release all my regrets so that I can move forward and it can be well with me. In Jesus name, Amen.

We see the Lord helping and strengthening you.
Good morning beloved and have a beautiful day.

Mark 9:23, Eph. 2:12, Phil. 1:20...

Beloved, have you ever felt hopeless or feeling so recently?... ready to give up??

Know that hopelessness isn't caused by lack of money, education, good things or circumstances. It comes from not being on God's side... being a stranger to His covenants!

God prospers people in places where there is absolutely nothing o! - no food, no job, no welfare program. Your expectations shouldn't be based on the world's economy, it should be based on what God has promised in His covenant. So, if you need anything at all today, check your heart, reevaluate your relationship with God... ask God into your heart again and if you are already a believer, take your walk with God seriously so you can take authority over the devil! Cast hopelessness away and stand on God’s Word for those things you desire.

We see God helping you.
Good morning beloved.

Starting Over Your Life Beyond Regretd: Recognize Your Regrets

Ephe. 5:8-13, IPeter 5:6-7...

In the next few days, we will be introduce you to a three-step process that can empower you to respond constructively to any type of regret.

The first step in the process is to recognize your regrets for what they are. What exactly is it that you are feeling badly about? Have you either underestimated or overestimated how serious it is? What power does it have or not have to effect your future? We need to answer these questions if we want to start over.
That seems like simple advice, doesn’t it? Maybe too simple? Yet the human mind has some reflexive responses to powerful emotions - such as regret - that can make it hard to honestly face reality.

For that reason, here are two don’ts and one do when it comes to taking stock of your own regrets...

** Don’t dwell on your regrets. Up to a point, mentally rehearsing something that happened might be helpful to you. You want to learn from your regrets so it’s good to analyze and try to understand what really happened. But too often you go way beyond performing a helpful post analysis by replaying it in your mind over and over again until it takes up far more of your attention than it merits.

** Don’t hide from your regrets. What may be more dangerous than thinking too much about your regrets is not thinking about them at all. That is a huge mistake! In many ways, you try to ignore or escape from your regrets. You don’t face them at all – or at least you don’t face them truthfully.

** Do face your regrets head-on. If you have been dancing around your regrets, trying to pretend they’re not there, or given your regrets so much power you can’t even see them plainly, you’ve got to stop. You can’t change what happened in the past, but you can change what you do in response from here on out. Your choice of response is all-important for your future.

Never doubt this: God does not want to leave you crushed under the weight of your regrets. That’s why you have to ask God to give you the courage to face your regrets and stare them down until they lose their power over you. When you do that, your regrets won’t be a finish line, they’ll be a starting line!

Prayer: Father, thank you for always looking out for me. Please give me the courage to face my regrets and stare them down until they lose their power over me. In Jesus name, Amen

We see the Lord helping and strengthening you.
Good morning beloved.
Have a super day.

Starting Over Your Life Beyond Regrets: Loving Your Regrets

Romans 8:21-22, II Cor. 7:8-11...

Regrets. We all have them. It may be something you wish you hadn’t done, or a missed opportunity where you didn’t take action and wish that you had. It might be something that was done to you; you were the victim, yet you still feel regret.

As we start this new series today, we want you to know that whether the regret is something from last week, last year, or decades ago, and you long to make things right – to change direction, to begin again, yet, somehow your attempts to fulfill this longing elude you... you still can.

This constant back-and-forth between longing and regret is the “Sorry Cycle.” It’s a pattern many of us live with every day.
Some people have bigger regrets, or dwell on their regrets more than others, but everybody has them.
Mentally rehearsing your regrets over and over in a Sorry Cycle gets you nowhere. Moreover, it does you a lot of harm.

So, what should you do?

Here is some advice that may sound strange: Don’t regret your regrets. That’s right – don’t regret your regrets! Learn to love them because they can teach you how to pursue a life you don’t need to regret.
In her very popular TED talk, journalist Kathryn Schulz concludes with this word of advice: “Regret doesn’t remind us that we did badly. It reminds us that we know we can do better.”

The Sorry Cycle is a kind of negative feedback. Through unhealthy rumination, you let your regrets route back to your deeply felt longings in a way that often leads you to make even worse decisions than you did before.
However, regrets don’t have to produce negative feedback. If you are mindful of what you are doing with your regrets, you can ask God to help you make different choices that turn those regrets into positive feedback.

Danish philosopher Soren Keirkegaard once said, “Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards.”

Take up the challenge to see regret, not as something to regret, but as something to love because it is priceless feedback that allows you to better understand your life.

Prayer: Father, thank you for always looking out for me. Please help me with every regret keeping me stuck in the “Sorry Cycle”. Help me also from today to make different choices that turn those regrets into positive feedbacks. In Jesus name, Amen

We see the Lord helping and strengthening you.
Good morning and Happy new month beloved.

Prov. 24:10, Romans 5:6...

Why do we sin
We sin because we have little strength, not enough strength in us!
We know the things we do are wrong but we can't just stop... strength... strength!

Whenever you're getting closer to an achievement, to your glory, to your breakthrough, the devil uses your flesh to pull you back into sin. You get tired. You get frustrated. You get fed up. You say you are stressed, you say 'are my the only one?', you exclaim 'abeg!'

But beloved, that is not when you should stop obeying, working, praying, believing, worshiping, praising, serving God or going to church! It's the time to move on.
Just move on! The devil is scared when you move on; his threats becomes empty!
Beloved, just move on today regardless...

The strength of God will always be available to you, Amen.

Good morning beloved, it is well with you.

WHEN IT HURTS: Loved. Accepted. Forgiven.

James 3:2...

When we make a mistake, we can end up beating ourselves up about it for ages. We overthink it, worry about it, think we’ve failed and anticipate that we’ll just fail again...

As we round up this series today, we want you to know that once we’re in this mindset, it’s dangerous. Our self-esteem evaporates and we can label ourselves as failures. But this isn’t our identity.

It’s true that we’ll make mistakes. James wrote, “We all stumble in many ways” and Solomon said, “There’s not one totally good person on earth, Not one who is truly pure and sinless” (Ecclesiastes 7:20 MSG). We will fail. But we aren’t failures.

It’s good to recognize where we’re going wrong, so that we can try and avoid making the same mistakes again. But when we start living out of a place of guilt and shame, we’ve let God’s truth about who we are become drowned out. The truth is that we’re loved by God and accepted by Him. He doesn’t see all our mistakes and condemn us. Instead, He sees the mistakes, forgives us when we ask for forgiveness and continues to love and accept us. The Bible says, “There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1 NIV).
God isn’t condemning us, so we need to stop condemning ourselves. We’re all works in progress. In Philippians 1, it says, “God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns” (v.6 NLT).

God is working on us, and He’ll finish what He’s started. He’s not a harsh God who’s angry when we make mistakes. He’s gentle with us. So, let’s be gentle with ourselves, too.

Prayer: Father, I thank you for I am loved, accepted and forgiven! In Jesus name, Amen.

Good morning beloved. Have a lovely day.

WHEN IT HURTS: God’s Help for Stress

I Peter 5:7...

Stress seems to be something we all experience during our lives. Sometimes our worries, responsibilities and problems become so overwhelming that we think we’ll crack under the stress of it all. But, unsurprisingly, God doesn’t want us to be living this way. He wants to calm us and take away our stress. He wants us to experience life to the full, not a stress-burn out-stress cycle of life. In fact, He wants us to “cast all…anxiety on him.”

So, how can we actually do that? The Bible is packed with verses that tell us we don’t need to fear and that God is our protector, comforter and restorer. Here are some examples: “I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go” (Genesis 28:15 NIV).
“The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms” (Deuteronomy 33:27 NIV).
“Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand” (Isaiah 41:10 NIV).
These show us that God really does care about each of us. He knows when we’re struggling and He promises to carry us through. And He’ll give us wisdom, so we can work out what to practically do when we’re feeling overloaded. When the problem we’re facing is too big for us to handle, we can give it to Him—and then avoid taking it back. If we let Him think His thoughts through us and allow His peace, power, and patience to take charge of our minds, we’ll be much better prepared to deal with anything that comes our way and live a life that’s not controlled by overwhelming stress.

Prayer: Father, I thank you for your mercy and for always looking out for me. Thank you also for your care. Father I allow you to to think your thoughts through me from now, so that I can live above stress and your peace reign in me. In Jesus name, Amen

We see the Lord strengthening you. Good morning beloved.
