Will You?

By
Hab 2:3 But these things I plan won't happen right away.  Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled.  If it seems slow, wait patiently, for it will surely take place.  It will not be delayed.” [with emphasis]

Now that we have gotten rid of the challenges to fine tuning, we will turn our focus to fine-tuning and learn how to fine-tune from two prophets in the Bible - Habakkuk in the Old Testament and John the Baptist in the New Testament. Please read Luke 3:1-2 and Habakkuk 2:1-3. With God’s plans and promises, sometimes it appears as if God is slow. But God assures us that even if it appears to be slow, the only thing we are to do is to wait for it.
“Slow… will not be delayed”- is that a contradiction? Yes, God uses contradictions but still He assures you and I that steadily and surely, it will come to pass.

I do not know what you are trusting God for this season but I am here to say to you, it is going to come to pass. I have been following Jesus for over twenty years now and I can confidently tell you that God is reliable; totally reliable. He may appear slow but follow Jesus. By the time He turns around the captivity, you would be like them that dream. And the waiting period would seem totally insignificant. Wait on the Lord. We are going to be learning six things from these two prophets about fine-tuning to the Holy Spirit.

Lesson #1: I must want to hear God. I must desire to hear God’s voice and to do His will. Habakkuk said, “I will climb up…”. John the Baptist left the normal human settlement and went into the wilderness. Such moves are born out of a desire. You will not hear God unless you really want to hear God. David says in Psalm 85:8 [GW], ““I want to hear what God the Lord says…”  [with emphasis].

But it actually goes beyond hearing God to wanting to obey God. Psa.40:8 [NCV] “My God, I want to do what You want.” In the areas of life where you appear to be in a fix or you are experiencing a dilemma, whose will do you really want, your will or God’s will? God always speaks to people that decide in advance to obey Him. Psa.119:20 “What I want most of all and at all times is to honor Your laws.” [CEV, with emphasis]. This means that for those who hear God speak, the Words He says are not an option. Do them!

Prayer: Lord Jesus, I acknowledge that You are reliable. I want to hear Your voice, Lord and I ask for the grace to do Your Words as You speak, in Jesus Name. Amen!

Can you ruin your destiny?

By
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 ?

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...

Called to Be Peculiar

By
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 ...
