Think & Thank

By

 “Seven times every day I praise You because of Your right rulings. Those who love Your law have an abundance of peace, and nothing along their paths can cause them to stumble” Ps. 119:164-165 [Voice]

God’s instruction for us in this season is Re-Tune. We have seen some of the things that detune us. And we have learnt that the desired frequency, the pitch perfect tune is joy. This joy comes with righteousness and peace. So how do those of us that are out of tune re-tune? And how do those of us that have never been tuned get in-tune? Three things;

The first thing is Gratitude. Find something to be grateful for. As the days in the year roll by very quickly, take some time out to just reflect. I know the enemy will try to get you to be ungrateful by putting in front of you the things that have and have not happened to you. The enemy is going to try to stir your focus to problems and the area you are struggling in. Know before hand that it is all in an attempt to detune you. Instead, think about what God has done and praise God. You have a roof over your head [I hope]. At least you have clothes on your back. Your soul gets tuned when it is filled with gratitude. Gratitude helps us find our desired frequency and our proper pitch.

The second thing is Solitude. Every new day, find a place of solitude. Where it will be only you and God. Just create time to be alone with God. Find time! Even Jesus needed time to be alone with God to retune. “And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there” Matt.14:23 [emphasis added]. Jesus had time to be alone with God and He is God. You need time to be alone with God. God wants to talk to you. God wants to realign you. God wants to correct your course. God wants to set your days in order this year.

Jesus needed time alone to pray, to meditate and to reflect. Many times we do not learn because we do not reflect. I read somewhere that one-day when Bill Gates was still young, his mother was looking for him all over the house and finally found him in a closet all by himself. She was alarmed and asked him what he was doing in the closet all by himself. And he replied, “I am thinking, don’t you think”? The point is, you need to cut out time to be alone with God; schedule it if you have to.

Prayer [song]: When I think of the goodness of Jesus and all He has done for me, my very soul shall shout, Halleluiah! Praise God for saving me. Amen!

GFH.

THEME: RETREAT TO REFRESH READ: Matt. 11:25-30 When some musicians want to release great songs, they retreat to secluded places where they can reflect, meditate and create. Some choose places overlooking the vast oceans, some choose where there are waterfalls, and some choose places with thick forestations.  As they observe the beauty of nature, the swift moves and songs of the soaring birds, the colourful flowering vegetations, the serene beaches and the unending waves of the nearby waters, they capture inspiration that helps them develop the hit songs they have been longing for. I met one of the world’s renowned musicians in Atlanta, USA a few years ago where journalist surrounded him and were asking what he had come to do and why his beards had grown so much. He said that his last album did not perform well enough and he was incubating another one he wanted to release that would perform better. He said that he needed to pull away from the Noise of New York and California ...

A NEW MONTH OF DIVINE ANNOUNCEMENT

By
But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. Luke 1:13 The Bible is replete of records on how God announced some events before they finally happened. Because you made it into the new Month, God will specially announce you in Jesus name.  Whenever God want to do something unusual, He first of all announce it, for instance, when He wanted to delivered the children of Israelite from the hand of the philistine whom He has delivered them to, He sent an angel to break the new to the parent of the deliverer - Samson. Judges 13.  When God wanted to turn the hearts of men back to Himself, He sent angel Gabriel to announced the birth of John the Baptist to his father, Zacharias. Also when God was fully ready for the redemption of man, He first announced it to the one whose body His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ will pass through to the earth. Luke 1:26-38. That was the...

Marriage Booster: Do You Still Love Her/Him ?

By
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...
