WEEP NOT!

What's making you cry? And you feel alone, forgotten and stuck. It's true that you hurt in the most unimaginable ways. I understand that the weight crushes you and it's impossible for you to articulate how much you endure.

But I've come with goodnews for you today. God is mindful and so close to your weeping heart.

 He says to you today:

 "I have seen your tears. The sound of your crying is  before me. I will wipe away your tears. The pain will be gone. The crying gone and their will not be heard in you again the sound of weeping. So, Keep your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears, for your work shall be rewarded. I have kept a record of your tears. I will turn your crying and mourning into joy and gladness. I'll comfort you and give you joy. So, Do not grieve. I'll give you beauty for ashes. I'll take away your shame and fill your mouth with laughter"

God has provided  precious promises for you, His weeping child. He see your tears. He hears the sound of your cry. God records every tear that falls. He will wipe away your tears. Oh what a joy to have the King of heaven wipe them. That is not the end. God will turn your weeping into hot tears of joy. Believe  for it.  

Weep not! For the lion of the tribe of Judah has prevailed...

Revelations 5:5

CHOOSE HEALING

There's literally nothing you can't break out of. Is it addiction? heartbreak? Post Traumatic stress Disorder? unforgiveness? anger? Cultism? You can name it all. Yet, There's absolutely nothing you can't pin to the ground.

I understand you feel stuck in a cycle of pain and frustration over the injustice in your life. It's like you are experiencing fresh anguish everytime you remember your pain and succumb to negative feelings. However, you still have a choice, my friend.

You can choose to continue in the cycle of pain, blame game, pity parties and defeat or you can choose to break it.

It's possible to have your freedom and power back when you choose healing. This is you taking the bandages off and exposing your wounds to be treated and healed once and for all.

You were not born to carry wounds and baggages. That's what Jesus came to take away from you. He  has His joy, peace, and righteousness for you instead.  choose to heal. Give Jesus your truama and let Him take care of you.

No, in all these things we are more then conquerors through him who loved us.

Romans 8:37

NOT ALONE

Please don't be consumed by what's happening with you. Look around you carefully and differently. You would see that we are many, in better or worse.

You're not alone, my friend. We are many that God is taking care of in: suffering. sorrow. loss. grief. heartache. failure. lack. confusion. hopelessness. isolation.

Equally so, we are many that God is out here: growing. Grooming. Blessing. Healing. Building. Saving. Empowering. Lifting. Advancing. Mobilizing.

So, have this consciousness that you're not alone. We are many and God is with us. In better or worse. Please, don't hesitate to reach out  the person close to you with a heartwarming smile, sweet kind word, or a supportive hug. God bless you in your better or worse today.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of your faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

Hebrews 12:1-2

BE VULNERABLE

You know how to pray. To start with Adoration, then Thanksgiving and so on. But you would agree that there are times you pray like this and afterwards, you still feel miserable. There's a better way to pray.

 When life's heavy on your soul, you may not have the decency to go through every bit of the protocols of prayer. That's a  time to pray what I call the pouring-out-your-heart prayer. This is when you go straight to the point to say how you feel. Hannah in the  Bible can teach you better on how to have a real talk with your Father. Instead of starting with "Father, you're great", you can start with "Father, I'm tired of believing your word and seeing nothing. I'm exhausted. Mentally immobilized. Tired of obeying you and feeling stupid". You can be vulnerable with God.

It's amazing that Jesus who taught the protocols of prayer  broke all of that a night before His crucifixion. There was no "Father, I love you" but just straight to the point with, "Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt". The lesson is, In desperate times, your Loving Father is always there to hear where and how it hurts you. Please, don't be ashamed of being vulnerable with God.

Miraculously, it is in this place of authentic shamelessness that your burdens are lifted and the peace of God swallows you.

Come to me, all who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Mathew 11:28

A PRAYER

Father, thank you for your beloved child reading this. We bless your for your breath in their lungs. Thank you for sustaining them daily. Thank you for their health, welfare, protection, and preservation. Thank you for being mindful of them even to the tiniest of details concerning their lives. Thank you for everything you've done for them.

I pray for your beloved child, that your love will always find them be it in: faith or doubts. Obedience or rebellion. Condemnation or confidence. Confusion or clarity. Weakness or strength. Failure or success. Through it all, may they receive of your spirit of power, love, and a sound mind. May they dwell under your shadow always. May your loving arms be their security and may they be satisfied with your goodness at the end of their lives.

Father, when they get weary, may your spirit remind them of whose child they are. May they never lose focus of your purpose for them. Send little whispers of love that reminds them of your plans for then that are of good, to proper them, to give then a future they hope for.  Help them to stay with you, their place of permanent abundance of love, joy, peace, and prosperity, in Jesus' name!

I know what I am doing. I have it all planned out-plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.

Jeremiah 29:11

SPIRIT LIFE

God's spirit in you is the greatest advantage you have. So, you cannot be a breathing dead person. You can always have new beginnings and fresh life. Every day becomes a  "birthday" for you.

Firstly, Many times you find yourself surrounded by so much loss and pain. You're terrified. You give up living. But is the Spirit of God ever weary?

You're ever kept in remembrance of who God says you are and why you are on earth. The Holy Spirit  reminds you that  there's grace for you. You are blessed. You are God's beloved. You are not alone. God has good plans for you. You are great. His word  invigorates you to persist towards your dreams and visions.

Even in the midst of painful relationships. The Spirit of God reveals the truth about people to you. He empowers you with strength to forgive. To love. To be kind. To pray for your people. To be compassionate and so much more.

Therefore, your life in Christ Jesus is powerful and dynamic because He has given you His Spirit. He is your life. Your Helper. Your counsellor. Your Friend. All of God and Heaven's resources is resident in you.

So, whenever you are running low, talk to the Spirit of God in prayer. He will supply life abundantly to you.

But as it is written, " what eye has seen, not ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him"God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything even the depths of God.

1Corinthians 2:9-10

BE LOVED

Jesus empathizes with your pain of unmatched affections. He loved first, too. Whether it is acknowledged, received or rejected, He still loves unconditionally. We, though, are going to love and be loved. Even now, Jesus reaches out to you too, come closer!

From the time sin came into the world, God has been extending love to humanity. 

Even now, it's still God's desire to love you completely. He gave Jesus, His son to die in your place, to rid you of sin and its consequences. He gave Himself freely as a sacrifice once and for all for the forgiveness of your sins and the redemption of your soul.

You are not helpless and defeated. You are not subject to the world and its desires. You're God's baby boy. His baby girl. He loves you too much to leave you empty. His hand is extended in love and Mercy as He makes His plea, "let me love you right". He is the lover that gives tirelessly. How then do you refuse to respond to His love by faith?

We, though, are going to love, love and be loved. First we were loved, now we love. He Loved us first.
