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.

THEME: You Can Create Whatever You Desire John 16:21-27 The instrument with which you exercise dominion over creation is your mouth.You can create whatsoever you desire by speaking that thing into existence.Whatever you say begins to exist in the spiritual form.Jesus said in John 6:63,"The words that I speak unto you,they are spirit,and they are life". In like manner,you create whatever you say and the things begin to exist in the spiritual form.What you create through words also have life and they continue to live until they find physical expression.  This is exactly what happens when you pray.The things you declare in prayer come alive and begin to exist in their spiritual form.They remain in that spiritual form until they are converted to their tangible equivalent through work. Jesus said,"until now you have asked nothing in My name.Ask,and you will receive,that your joy may be full" (John 16:24). Don't make the mistake of relaxing after you have pray...

You Must Forgive Yourself Hebrews 12:1-11 You have heard quite a lot about forgiving those that have offended you – and that you must do. It happens often that the person you must really forgive is yourself. You may have committed an offence or a sin and your conscience has condemned you, just as the Holy Spirit has chastised you. You may also have repented of this sin, confessed it to God and resolved not to go back that way. But you discover that the heaviness, clouded vision, and the erosion of confidence occasioned by the sin you committed continue to weigh you down. At such moments, you need to make another type of confession to God in order to regain your liberty from the weight that holds you down. You have to confess your unbelief in His word that says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). When you have genuinely repented of a sin and confessed it to God; and you have pleaded ...

Sin Stained...or Blood Washed?

By
This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.  (Hebrews 10:16-17) The Bible tells us that under Levitical law, an animal had to be offered every year to atone for the sins of the people. That word atone means "to cover" and it's used continually throughout the Old Testament. But let me tell you something exciting. It's never used in the New Testament. The Greek word used to describe what Jesus did for us on the cross is a different word altogether. It doesn't just mean "to cover"—it means "to remit; to do completely away with something." Do you know what that means? It means there is no longer a sin problem. Jesus solved it! When you made Him your Lord, He didn't just cover your sins, He put you into right-standing with God and re-created you by the Spirit of God a...
