Do you want to be healthy and strong?

Wednesday 7 June 2017

Do you want to be healthy and strong?

 

Do not be wise in your own eyes;

Fear the Lord and depart from evil.

It will be health to your flesh,

And strength to your bones.

Proverbs 3:7-8

 

In today’s Proverb, we are told how to be healthy and strong in our body:

1, Don’t be wise in your own eyes

The first remedy to be healthy and strong is not to be wise in our own eyes. The Bible tells us that the wisdom of man is foolishness to God therefore as much as we may think we know it all, what we know is nothing compared to our God. We should humble ourselves and seek the wisdom of God in everything we do including in our health:

There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.

Proverbs 14:12 (ESV)

2, Fear God

If we want to be healthy and strong we are told to fear God. The fear of God is having holy reverence and respect for God knowing that He made us and our lives are in His hands:

Whoever fears the LORD has a secure fortress, and for their children it will be a refuge

Proverbs 14:26 (NIV)

3, Depart from Evil

If we want to be strong and healthy we have to be willing to depart from doing evil because evil things only lead to sickness and eventually death. Instead we have to do good so that it will go well for us:

Turn from evil and do good; then you will dwell in the land forever.

Psalm 37:27 (NIV)

Prayer

Dear Lord, please help me not to be wise in my own eyes but to fear You and depart from evil in Jesus name.

You can’t out give God

 

Thursday 4^th May 2017

And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life.

Matthew 19:29

1, Give to God and you will have more

In order to receive you have to be willing to give. God promise us in Matthew 19:29 that He is the supreme provider whether we acknowledge Him or not. Everything belongs to God whether we accept it or not. God promises that when we are willing to surrender everything to Him, including our family and possessions e.g land, He will acknowledge this and blesses us with more. He promises us eternal life and material blessings in return for us making ourselves completely available to Him.

But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.

2 Corinthians 9:6-8

2, God provides for all our needs

God knows our needs from our wants. He knows we need friends and family however God also reminds us that at times we may need to leave friends and family for His sake. In doing so God promises to bless us 100 fold and give us eternal life. God will compensate us for the lack.

Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds?

Luke 12:24 

Summary

It is worth putting God before all our wants and needs since He is more than able to supply all of our needs. When we truly surrender to God and place Him first, God promises to bless us abundantly and make provision for us to occupy an eternal place in His Kingdom. There is certainly no loss when we put God’s need first since He promises to bless us for doing so.

God settles His accounts on fair terms

 

God settles His accounts on fair terms

Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.

Matthew 18:23              

1, God settles His accounts on fair terms

God has made provision for our salvation in the precious blood of Jesus that was shed on the cross. As such in order to be in right standing with God all we need to do is genuinely repent and ask for forgiveness in the name of Jesus. As such no matter the debt, whether it is financial or emotional, God will settle in accordance with His word. Nothing is too hard for God to forgive.

“Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?

Jeremiah 27:32

To the Lord our God belong mercy and forgiveness, though we have rebelled against Him.

Daniel 9:9

2, God’s promises are in line with His word

God had made provision for every situation that we will encounter in our life. The price was paid at the cross with the blood of Jesus. God advises us that He is a God that cannot lie.

“God is not a man, that He should lie,
Nor a son of man, that He should repent.
Has He said, and will He not do?
Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?

Numbers 23:19

Because God cannot lie, all the issues and concerns we have in life be they financial or otherwise have been settled at the cross. God is faithful to His word and we can stand on His word and trust Him.

Summary

God is a merciful God that desires to settle accounts with us. God is not moved by our circumstances such as debt.  God does not lie and is faithful. God has authority and power like a king, yet is willing to humble himself to negotiate with us. God is fair and upright and is able to settle any situation.

God has supernatural means of provision

Nevertheless, lest we offend them, go to the sea, cast in a hook, and take the fish that comes up first. And when you have opened its mouth, you will find a piece of money; take that and give it to them for Me and you.”

Matthew 17:27

God is a supernatural God of provision able to exceed our every expectation. In the context of Matthew 17:27, Jesus pays His and His disciples taxes through supernatural means. The king’s taxes are paid through Jesus instruction to go to the sea and to cast a hook for a fish so they will have a suitable quantity of money to pay (Matthew 17:27). This scripture tells us the following:

1, God is creative and can resolve any situation

God is able to make an impossible situation work out. There was no means of provision to pay the kings taxes however, Jesus possessed the supernatural power of God to prophecy into the situation that a fish would supply money. The disciple did as instructed in the prophecy, and the prophecy came to pass. God met the need that was spoken into existence, the need for money, before it ever manifested. Once adequate action was taken the money manifested.

And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:19

2, God’s currency is faith

God’s currency is in faith. God can meet all our needs including financial needs, provided we have the faith to speak what we need into existence.

So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God.  For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea’, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.”

Mark 11:22-24

No matter the obstacle, or how big the situation looks. Even if it looks like a big mountain God can make a way where there appears to be no way.

Behold, I will do a new thing,
Now it shall spring forth;
Shall you not know it?
I will even make a road in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert.

Isaiah 43:19

Summary

We serve a mighty God who can make supernatural financial provision for us to overcome any situation and circumstance that appears to have no solution.  God’s creative power rests in making something out of nothing for we serve a God who created a complex world with order, from nothing more than His supernatural words and power.

How do we become people of integrity?

For only the godly will live in the land, and those with integrity will remain in it.

Proverbs 2:21 (NLT)

We are told that the godly will dwell in the land and those with integrity will remain in it. So the question today is, how do we become people of integrity?

1, Keep to your word

To be a person of integrity is to be a person that keeps your word even when it is not convenient. It is easy to make a commitment however sometimes keeping them is very difficult, but a person with integrity will do what they said even if it’s not convenient:

Those who despise flagrant sinners, and honor the faithful followers of the LORD, and keep their promises even when it hurts.

Psalm 15:4

2, Be honest

Honesty is a true test of integrity. When you are honest it means that you tell the truth even if it doesn’t suit you. We are told to let our yes be yes and our no be no (Matthew 5:37):

Who may worship in your sanctuary, Lord? Who may enter your presence on your holy hill? Those who lead blameless lives and do what is right, speaking the truth from sincere hearts.

Psalm 15:1-2 (NLT)

Prayer

Dear Lord, please help me to be a person of integrity. Help me to keep to my word and to be honest in everything I do in Jesus name.

When you sew the little you have, God will multiply it

 

Thursday 6th April 2017

Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?”And they said, “Seven, and a few little fish.”So He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. And He took the seven loaves and the fish and gave thanks, broke them and gave them to His disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitude. So they all ate and were filled, and they took up seven large baskets full of the fragments that were left.

Matthew 15:34-37

1, God is miraculous

God is without limitation. Nothing is too difficult for God. We serve a God that can serve a multitude of thousands of people,with seven loaves of bread and fish. We can trust in God for our daily needs as well as financial provision.  No need is toodifficult for God to meet. When God meets our needs there is room for more. In Matthew 15:34-37 fragments of food are left behind which indicates that God is more than able to fulfil our needs.

And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:19

2, God is our provider

God provides for our needs as Matthew 15:34-37 indicates. There is no need to difficult in our life for God to cater to. Even when the odds are stacked against us God can make away. In 2^nd Kings Chapter 19 and 20 we are introduced to King Hezekiah. King Hezekiah is in a desperate situation and is concerned that the King of Assyria will destroy his nation. He is counselled not to trust in God’s ability to come through for him. He petitions God by prayer and puts faith in God. God comes through for him and destroys the Assyrian King and his army.  This shows that no matter how difficult the task or how insurmountable the odds, God can meet the need.

“Both riches and honour come from You, and You rule over all, and in Your hand is power and might; and it lies in Your hand to make great and to strengthen everyone.”

1 Chronicles 29:12

3, Nothing is too difficult for God

God created the world from nothing. How much more so can he do for us. We serve a God whose currency is faith. When we step out in God confidence and in God’s strength and do not lean upon our own understanding, but seek the wisdom of God, breakthrough occurs (Proverbs 3:5-6). Several bible characters overcame harrowing odds and prevailed. David had to lean upon God many times in his defence against King Saul and in his many battles. Joseph who was sold into slavery by his brothers went onto become a ruler and forgave his brothers when he could have destroyed them (Genesis 37-50), and Job who overcame immense suffering and loss, proved his faithfulness to God during his suffering and had his life restored. This can be read about in the book of Job.

‘Ah, Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You.

Jeremiah 32:17

Summary

We serve a mighty God who is more than able to supply all our needs. When we look to God He does what man cannot do. He is able to perform miracles like feed thousands people from a few loaves of bread and fish, and still have a generous amount of fragments remaining. God can and will meet all our needs when we put Him and His needs first in our life.

Being discreet can preserve you

Wednesday 5th April 2017

 Discretion will preserve you; Understanding will keep you

Proverbs 2:11 (NLT)

Today’s verse tells us that discretion can preserve you. To be discreet is to have prudence or good sense. The question today then is, how can being discreet or prudent preserve you?

1, It helps you to focus on your own business

When you are discreet or prudent it helps you to focus on your own business because you realise that you only have one life and it makes good sense to use the time you have left to focus on your God-given assignment:

That you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you, that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and that you may lack nothing.

1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 (NKJV)

2, It helps you stay out of people’s business

When you are discreet it helps you to stay out of other people’s business. We are encouraged to work and not to meddle in other people’s business, in other words, not be busy bodies:

Yet we hear that some of you are living idle lives, refusing to work and meddling in other people’s business. We command such people and urge them in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to settle down and work to earn their own living

1 Thessalonians 3:11-12 (NLT)

In summary, when you are discreet and focus on your own business and not meddle in other people’s affairs, it helps to preserve you because you avoid any unnecessary trouble that doesn’t concern us.

Prayer

Dear Lord, please help me to be discreet in minding my own business and not to meddle in other people’s business in Jesus name.

God desires for us to be fruitful

Thursday 23rd March 2017

But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

Matthew 13:23

God’s desire is that we bear fruit on a daily basis. In order to bear fruit we must provide the best foundations for ourselves. If the ground is not good then we cannot expect to bear fruit in great numbers, as the scripture above mentions. God desires us to bear fruit not just spiritually but also in our health, emotions and finances. Its God’s desire we flourish in all areas (3 John 1:2). So how do we hear the word, understand it and then bear good fruit?

1, We must keep our heart pure

The scriptures warn us that in order to bear an abundance of good fruit we need to have a pure heart and be patient.

But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience.

Luke 8:15

We need to make sure we are in right standing with God and avoid the things God advises us to not entertain such as immorality, idolatry and anger (Galatians 5:19-21).

2, Sew in the spirit and not in the flesh

In order to sew on good ground and reap an abundance of fruit we need to sew in the spirit and not in the flesh. The Bible warns us that the things of the flesh reap corruption, whereas the things of the Spirit are where everlasting life resides.

For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.

Galatians 6:8

3, Relying upon God’s strength and not our own.

In order to be successful in bearing an abundance of fruit, including financial gain we need to rely upon God’s strength and not our own.  We need to pray and the Holy Spirit will give us the strength and wisdom to do God’s will according to His desire and not our own. Outside of Gods strength we rely upon the flesh and we will ultimately fail.

For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; ¹⁰ that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.

1 Colossians 9:10 

Summary

In summary we can bear fruit in the Lord provided we keep our hearts pure. We need to have right standing before God and resist the desire to sin. When we do sin we can repent for our God is ever merciful (Psalm 103:10). We need to walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh and do this in God’s strength and wisdom and not our own. When we have right standing with God, God’s answers to our prayers are yes and amen (2^nd Corinthians 1:20). We can then expect to bear fruit, including fruits for our finances.

How to be free from the worries of life and the lure of wealth

Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

Matthew 13:22

In Matthew 13:22 we find that a man receives the word of God graciously and makes progress. He has faith and the word has root in him, however due to the things of the world such as riches, the benefits of the word are choked out of the man and he becomes unfruitful. The scripture above teaches us many life lessons.

1, We must meditate on the word day and night

The word is precious and has the power to allow us to live lives that are content, stable and balanced. In order to stay on course and allow the word of God to influence and guide our life, we need to meditate on the word day and night so that the word is not choked out of us, and so we do not fall and stumble and become unfruitful.

This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

Joshua 1:8

For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Hebrews 4:12

2, We must renew our minds on a daily basis

In order to remain fruitful in the word of God, the bible, we must renew our minds daily. Our minds are daily polluted by things we hear in passing conversation, on social media, in newspapers and through the radio etc. In order to not be influenced by the ways of the world we need to renew our minds through yielding to God and asking God to remove anything that hinders our fellowship with Him.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Romans 12:2

3, We must rely upon God’s strength and not our own

We must not rely upon on own efforts but we must rely upon God’s grace to stay rooted to the word so we are not distracted by things of the word such as wealth. (Zechariah 4:6). In order to do this we need to renew our minds and focus on whatever ifs pure, good, true and worthy.

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.

Philippians 4:8

Summary

When we renew our minds by Gods strength and not our own, and when we discipline our minds and make a conscious effort to meditate on the promises of God’s word, and resist sin, we are able to bear fruit and demonstrate to others the benefits of being obedient to the word of God, the Bible (Deuteronomy 7:9).

God is a shield for the upright

Wednesday 15 March 2017

He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;

He is a shield to those who walk uprightly;

Proverbs 2:7

 

This verse tells us that God actually stores up sound wisdom for those who walk uprightly, He is a shield to those who walk uprightly. What is a shield?

A shield is a gate or door (or “door-shaped”); used of the large, oblong ancient Roman shield (which looked like a full door), large enough to provide full protection from attack. Why do we need the Lord as our shield?

1. He provides protection

The Lord provides protection for the person who has a right relationship with Him. This protection always extinguishes (takes the fire out of) the missiles of the enemy so that he cannot harm us:

God protects me like a shield; He saves those whose hearts are right

Psalm 7:10 (NCV)

2. The Lord gives us faith

Every believer has been given a measure of faith and faith is described as a shield that provides protection against the fiery darts of the wicked:

Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked

Ephesians 6:16 (NKJV)

3. The Lord provides favour

The righteous are surrounded with favour as with a shield. Favour is kindness from God that is undeserved. In other words, as believers, we wear favour like a shield and receive grace and blessing because of the favour of God:

For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous;

With favor You will surround him as with a shield.

Psalm 5:12 (NJKV) 

Prayer

Dear Lord, I thank You that You are a shield for those who trust in You. Today let Yourfavour surround me as with a shield in Jesus name.
