People of God,

God has everything that we need; He is Jehovah Jireh – The Lord God, Our Provider. With this in mind, those who are called His People shall receive His riches because of grace and mercy.

Because of His abundance of grace and mercy, we can go to God boldly and make our requests.

Remember, in order to know God’s riches, you must know who He is and His ability to cause favor to flow frequently in your life. God promised to make ways out of no ways and to open doors that no man can shut.

Due to this, we can place our absolute faith in Him to manifest that which He has spoken over our lives!

Whatever you need, God has it! Go before God as ask that His Will be done in your life, according to His plans to prosper you. Jeremiah 29:11

Memo: You cannot be tight-fisted, resisting giving. You must be a giver in order to receive. It’s a God-Principle! 2 Corinthians 9:6-8

Matthew 6:33 states this equation: Seek God first + Obedience (His righteousness) = prosperity

Today’s Scriptures:

Deuteronomy 8:18 NLT | New Living Translation

Remember the Lord your God. He is the one who gives you power to be successful, in order to fulfill the covenant he confirmed to your ancestors with an oath.

Hebrews 4:16 ESV | English Standard Version

Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Have you ever wondered how God gets glory? Glory is something revealed in us, through God. Glory comes out of difficult times, from times that are traumatic, overwhelming in nature.

God wants to show us His glory, per the Holy Scriptures. For us to experience His glory, we have to go through something to get to it; it is revealed only at that moment when there’s no other way possible. God rushes in to rescue, deliver, pull out, pull through. I appreciate God’s glory.

Today’s Scriptures:

Romans 8:18 NIV | New International Version

I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.

Romans 8:17 NLT | New Living Translation

And since we are his children, we are his heirs. In fact, together with Christ we are heirs of God’s glory. But if we are to share his glory, we must also share his suffering.

1 Peter 4:13 NIV | New International Version

But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed.

Listen, People of God! This life is difficult. Facing the unknown is hard, enough. We must hold, fast, to our faith and believe that God didn’t bring us this far to leave us! God is more present, NOW, than ever before!

1. Focus on Facts – God is Here! God will deliver! God has made a way, before! God has always provided me what I needed! God has always opened doors and made paths for me!
2. Failure is not in my vocabulary. It’s hard, I admit. But God fights for me! He won’t let me fall! What is hard for man IS NOT Hard for Our God! What seems impossible is made POSSIBLE through Christ!
3. Find your peace. Let the Lord give you peace in this season! Allow God to be who He is and do what He does, best!
4. Fix Your Mind. Don’t let hardships deter you but lift up your head, be lifted up! Know that it will all be okay. It will work for your good. Why? Because you love God and have been CALLED to do His purpose. Stop worrying! Hand it over to God.

Philippians 3:14 The Message

Focused on the Goal

^12-14 I’m not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me. Friends, don’t get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I’ve got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward—to Jesus. I’m off and running, and I’m not turning back.

God is moving things around for our benefit. It may not seem that way, considering that you’ve been waiting for quite some time. There are some things that you need God to do for you but you’re in the way! What do I mean?

The enemy sets up distractions. A distraction may be that you have a bill that needs paid, your children are out of control, you just lost your job or people are acting like their against you. Whatever the enemy can do to cause your eyes to shift from God, that, he will do.

There’s work to be done while you’re waiting on God to work wonders in your life! We must hold on to our faith and God’s promises while in the waiting room.

What’s the “work? While in the waiting room, we should be praying, praising, worshiping, fasting, and reading God’s Word.

It’s not time to complain. It’s time for thanksgiving. Remember, we must be Spiritually fit, that is, have a mindset of expectation and of willingness to do Our Father’s Will, even while waiting in the waiting room.

Today’s Scriptures:

Isaiah 26:3 NLT | New Living Translation

You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!

1 Thessalonians 5:18 KJV | King James Version

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

When will I see that my progress, through my problems, is more beneficial than looking, focusing, only on those things that are trying, that hurt, and are hard to face?  Where do I look? Where do I go?

So many times, our problems seem impossible to change, to ever get better.  So many things are happening around us.  So much seems to get in our way, distracting us, blocking us, so that we can’t see that God is there.  There are times when situations are overwhelming and consuming. 

But there is God! 

God has been there, with you, with us, the whole time.  Suffering is a part of life.  Jesus, The Christ, suffered, greatly.  Why would it be different for us? What’s next? When will it change?

“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” – Psalm 91:1 KJV

I (we) shall look towards God, who is my (our) Help! I (we) must shift focus towards Heaven and away from things that are attacking our Spiritual being.  We wrestle against spirits, confusion, things earthly and things in the Spirit realm. 

Let’s pray:

Dear God, Our Father.  We come to say thank You for everything.  Thank You for the good, and thank You for the bad.  Lord, we admit to You that it is hard to see success when faced with situations that have failed, for now.  Help us to see that You, oh God, direct us.  You, oh God, are our shelter, our protection. 

Lord, we look to You for help.  Rescue us. Deliver us. Set us free. Help us to see as You see.  Lord, You’re bigger than our problems.  Lord, You’re bigger than our suffering.  Help us to endure until the end.  Help us to focus on the positive and look for You as our strength, our Way-Maker. 

God, You designed us to prosper, to succeed! There is no failure in You! This prayer is signed, sealed, and delivered, to You, through Jesus The Christ, it is well with our soul, Amen.

Remember: The enemy is not going down without a fight! We are soldiers.  We have to fight mentally, emotionally, and Spiritually.  We must know The Word of God to use as a weapon, a shield.  We must pray and praise.  Finally, we must worship God for who He is!

Today’s Scriptures:

2 Timothy 2:3-4 NKJV | New King James Version

3 You therefore must endure[a] hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier.

Ephesians 6:12 KJV |King James Version

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Psalm 121:1-2, 3,5,7 NIV | New International Version

1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from? 2 My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. 3 He will not let your foot slip— he who watches over you will not slumber; 5 The Lord watches over you— the Lord is your shade at your right hand; 7 The Lord will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life; 8 the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.

I hear The Lord saying that He will be present, in the morning, and at Midnight.  Everything you need, go to Him in prayer. Let God know what you desire.

Some of us have been waiting for The Lord to answer and His response is

“Obey Me!” “I’ll do it for you!”

Prayer: God, we need Your favor to saturate our lives. God, we need You to make yourself known, to us! So many have toiled and cried, for a while; this is due to heartbreak, depression, stress and anxiety, worrying about what they’re going to do to make ends meet.  But, YOU, oh God, can do anything! There’s no limit to You!  Revive us, again! Renew us, again! Restore us, again! Make a way for us, again! God, in the morning and at midnight, we stop to thank You!  We cry out to Our Father, Our Jehovah Jireh! Your move, oh God, is coming! Help us to trust You! This prayer is signed, sealed, and delivered, to You, through Jesus The Christ, Amen.

Disclaimer: Yes, I am well aware that our God is omnipresent! The Word that He gave me for His (specific) people has a specific time (morning and Midnight). If you believe, do this one thing: give Him praise and pray, from your heart, to God, in the morning and at Midnight, for the rest of the week! If you’re sincere, watch God move miracles into position for you!

Psalm 5:3 CEB | Common English Bible

Lord, in the morning you hear my voice.
In the morning I lay it all out before you.
Then I wait expectantly.

Lamentations 2:19 KJV | King James Version

Psalm 119:62 MSG | The Message

I get up in the middle of the night to thank you;
your decisions are so right, so true—I can’t wait till morning!

People of God, if we are truly real and honest with God, we will come to the conclusion that we have not paid for all of our sins that we do, against Him.

Today is a day to thank God for His Grace.  I’ve found His grace is sufficient; it’s all I need.  It is by grace that we are saved!

EXERCISE: BIBLE – find a scripture on GRACE and repost!

Let’s remember that GRACE is what’s keeping us; God doesn’t always give us, as we deserve! God provides us FAVOR.

My Prayer: Oh Lord, Our God, I know that I have sinned before you.  I know that there are times when I do my own thing and don’t realize that damage it could do. God, I come before your Throne of Grace to say thank you.  God, I appreciate Your goodness and Your loving-kindness towards me! God, please forgive me and help me to walk, in Your way. Help me to be led by Your Spirit.  This prayer is signed, sealed, and delivered, to You, through Jesus The Christ, Amen.

Today’s Scripture:

Psalm 103:8-12 NIV | New International Version

8 The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in love.
9 He will not always accuse,
nor will he harbor his anger forever;
10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve
or repay us according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his love for those who fear him;
12 as far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

People of God,

What can you be doing, in the Coronavirus season?  In every season, in every predicament, in every situation, GOD IS STILL WORTHY OF OUR PRAISE!

GOD STILL DESIRES OUR PRAISE, OUR WORSHIP, EVEN RIGHT NOW!

• Have you ever thought that God wants more time with you?

If you love God, the way that you say you do, your Spirit will yearn to hear from Him, to be in His presence.  Your Spirit is beckoned by God to commune with Him.

Worship is your intimate space with God.  Worship requires that you think, deeply, about Who God is…just because of who He is. Then, your praise is a direct response to your worship. When you praise, your worship becomes stronger!

Revelation 3:20 ESV | English Standard Version

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.

Lord, you are my God;
I will exalt you and praise your name,
for in perfect faithfulness
you have done wonderful things,
