Overcoming Black Mondays

Psalm 55:22 “CAST THY BURDEN UPON THE LORD and He shall SUSTAIN THEE: He SHALL NEVER suffer THE RIGHTEOUS TO BE MOVED.”

AS we live here on earth, we all face the unexpected, as the only thing that is CONSTANT is CHANGE. Anything can happen unexpectedly in the Social, Economic and Political Global Spheres.

This week, China’s BLACK MONDAY triggered negative ripple effects in the global stock markets. Chinese stocks dipped more than eight per cent ON MONDAY causing global negative losses, as investors in America, Europe and other Nations question the stability of the Asian economy.

The richest man in Asia – WANG JINALIN was reported to have lost a whopping $13 Billion US Dollars during this period. The savings and income of some institutions were erased. Trillions of Dollars in turnover and savings of institutions were wiped off by the monstrous devaluation of stocks and assets. Obviously, we are the people of the end times: the level of anxiety, apprehension and worries are overwhelming. At a time like this, we have a “HIGHER CONSTANT” that cannot change – the MOST HIGH, THE EL-ELYON – the GAME CHANGER, the UNCHANGING CHANGER, Who can CHANGE TIMES AND SEASONS for our benefits and allow the pendulum to swing in our favour (Daniel 2:21) “AND HE CHANGETH THE TIMES AND THE SEASONS: He REMOVETH KINGS AND SETTETH UP KINGS”.

Our Heavenly Father has continued to SHIELD those that belong to Him from the negative effects of Global BLACK MONDAYS. Despite the instability that micro and macro economic activities may bring to the marketplace, God assures us why we have not been consumed by these galloping inflationary trends.

The UNCHANGING CHANGER declares in Malachi 3:6 “For I am the LORD, I CHANGE NOT; therefore YE SONS OF JACOB ARE NOT CONSUMED”.

We have a CONSTANT GOD in a CHANGING WORLD. The Word declares in Psalm 91:1 “He that DWELLETH in the SECRET PLACE of the Most High SHALL ABIDE under the shadow of the Almighty”. So, how do we overcome BLACK MONDAYS, which have been predicted to reoccur over and over again, as it did seven years ago? (1) The Bible says THROUGH GOD WE SHALL DO VALIANTLY (Psalm 60:12).

We must recognise that the only place that is SAFE, IS IN GOD. We must not trust in our riches. Psalm 62:8 “TRUST IN HIM AT ALL TIMES, ye people, pour out your heart before Him. GOD IS A REFUGE FOR US. Selah”. We should TRUST IN GOD rather than trusting in our riches.

Proverbs 11:28 “He that trusteth in HIS RICHES SHALL FALL” (2) Today, we must receive the WISDOM OF GOD to make investments in the Kingdom of God and SPECIFIC AREAS that God would dictate to us.

Peter had toiled all night and caught nothing, but JESUS gave specific instructions that brought total turnaround and breakthroughs to Peter’s fishing business (Luke 5:1-7). (3) If you have incurred losses, as a result of the global economic downturn, deliberately take your losses to the LORD and He will give you Supernatural restoration.

Deliberately throw all your burdens and losses unto the LORD today. Jehovah God is the ROCK OF AGES. He will not allow you to be moved, confounded and devastated.

Through your connection with God, you will always overcome the excruciating global economic forces! JESUS IS LORD. PRAYER: Father God, I bring the losses in my life to you.

You are THE ONLY ONE that can absorb my losses. I cast all my losses upon You. Thank You Father for the Supernatural restoration and the releases of Your provision upon my life. In JESUS MIGHTY NAME, I overcome every BLACK MONDAY.

Can you ruin your destiny?

God had something in mind when He created you, right? But what if you’ve screwed up? Dropped out? Quit before it was over? Maybe you decided to do your own thing, it didn’t work out, and now you’re just sucking air and hoping there’s still hope. Guess what? There is! For God’s gifts and his call can never be withdrawn. (Romans 11:29 NLT) You don’t even have to start over. Every single thing you failed at? God will use it. (Romans 8:28) Every shot you called that was way off? God will repurpose it. (Proverbs 19:21) Every weakness you thought you had to hide? God’s power will show through it. (2 Corinthians 12:9) God created you for good works. As soon as you quit the past and sell out for Jesus, those works will happen. (Ephesians 2:10) He’s establishing you, step by step. (Proverbs 16:9) God’s a good Father. He knows how to bring you back and take you further than you ever imagined. (Ephesians 3:20) Spend some time really reflecting on these truths. What do you secretly hope is p...

Marriage Booster: Do You Still Love Her/Him ?

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; Ephesians 5:25 KJV "This is what I love about you" In the beginning you love everything about him. You are captivated by his six pack, his spirit of adventure, and his lion’s heart. In the beginning you love everything about her. You go crazy with the swing of her hips, a wink or a chewy chocolate cake baked especially for you. One day you wake up. Daily routine has shattered your rose-tinted glasses. “His six pack is not so hot anymore, instead his joints creak with every move.” Or: “It would be better if she swung her hips into a gym one of these days.” You realize: “My partner has changed.” Fortunately! He isn’t standing still. The problem is not the change but rather, that you are a creature of habit. It is your task to rediscover your partner and to simultaneously not forget why you went up the aisle with sparkling eyes to marry your bride/groom. MARRIAGE BOOSTER Write d...

Called to Be Peculiar

I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. (John 17:15-16) Being peculiar. That's not something most of us work to achieve, is it? But, you know, we should. God has called us to be peculiar—to stand out from the rest of the world as living proof of His power and His love (1 Peter 2:9). He doesn't, for example, want us to share the ailments of the world. He doesn't want us to share their sickness and poverty and failure. He's never wanted that for His people. He gave us a physical illustration of that during the time the nation of Israel was held captive in Egypt. Pharaoh had refused to set the Israelites free, so God had allowed a thick darkness to cover the whole land. The darkness was so dreadful throughout Egypt that no one moved for three days. "But," says Exodus 10:23, "all the children of Israel had light in their ...
