although we call ourselves Christians,we are also not very good people.
we can't see our own selves that we r just as bad or even worse.
how we do things depends how we think.
when we r influenced by what we see n hear in others..
family members, Church people, friends...
we tend to follow the patterns set.
Jesus keep closely with the Father, n not be influenced by people around Him,not even Peter.
if the Palestinians keep hearing from people around them since childhood,
they will believe n follow the ways of people around them;
they'll react in ways they think r true...which r actually the ways of others.
when the Iranians begin to hear voices, questioning the integrity of the election n leadership,
they r affected n they begin not to trust the government.
what they see n hear affect their thinking n they react according to what they think.
the Kingdom of God is won through the hearts n minds of people.
tit for tat method will keep going on till the next generations.
the Hamas send rockets, Israel send bombs, but the hearts r till the same.
the battle belongs to the Lord.
our human ways will never work.
when Israel thought they could protect themselves,
God sent the Assyrians n Babylonians to attack n burned the temple.
The Babylonian king was God's vessel.
Unless all the non-believing Jews in Israel come to the Lord,
God will continue to use the Palestinians n neighboring countries to attack Israel.
the battle belongs to the Lord.
God can only truly bless us unless we learn to be still.
It is easier to move ahead out of fear n anxiety n walk in our own will.
To be still is not to fear but to trust in God’s will.
Joseph served Potiphar as a slave n was still.
Joseph served in prison as a prisoner n was still.
And God was working out things so that Joseph know that God is God.
Be still n know that I AM Lord.
Be still and Know that I AM the Lord.
Be still is not to move ahead of God, but to let His will be done.
God is always working things out for those whom He loved.
Imagine u are Joseph working for Potiphar,
a fat old man, having many slaves working for him
Will u serve him faithfully or just eye-service?
Humble is not enough.
Because we must be still and it is hard to be still.
Joseph not only was humble, but also he was still
n serve Potiphar like he was serving God.
He was tempted by Potiphar’s wife n punished n put into prison as a rapist n criminal.
If I was Joseph, I would have cried out to God,
“Lord this is unfair. I am faithful walking in Your will, and this what I get.”
I would have lost faith in God n get depressed in prison.
I would not be able to serve in prison like Joseph served.
have faith, n God will turn
every evil into good
let not your thoughts or doubts
influence what the Lord has to say
His Word is sure
Open your heart to let God
reveal n uncover the mysteries of His Word
Knowing His Word is knowing God Himself
Have an intimacy with HIm
n see blessings in your life
you are bound to face crossroads n tough decisions
let Him light your path
your future is in His hands
