The promise of God is because of His great love for us. That great love, that would not let us fall into the trap of sin, instead, would give us always a way out through Jesus Christ. This love, also promises a great life, because that has been always the plan of God for His beloved children. So hold on to it. The great love of God and the promise of a great life is yours.

Our God is a loving father and He will never interfere with you unless you let Him. That's how much He loves us that He gives us that much freedom. Nevertheless, as the Bible says, He will never leave us nor forsake us. So when trouble comes, He's there, just waiting for you to ask for Him. And you're reaching out to Him touches His heart more than you'll ever imagine because that's just how He is.

If we do the will of our Father in heaven, prepare to be amazed because His plans are so much better. We can plan our future, and do our own thing to achieve whatever our goals in life are, but sometimes, these all lead to exhaustion because change in this world is inevitable. When change comes all of a sudden, coping with it may drain your energy and lose focus on everything. But when we focus on God and His will, we only have one thing to maintain, our eyes on Him. And He will do the rest. We will not have to worry about anything because it all rests on His hand now.

God has never planned any bad or destructive things for His children. The Bible said that all His plans for us are good and for our good. If we are experiencing troubles and hindrances, we might be taking a different route other than God prepared for us. Nevertheless, just as He had planned our redemption a long time ago, our destiny of a good and full life still lies ahead of us, if we believe and get a hold of it today.

Jesus made the greatest example of how to live according to the will of His Father. Therefore, as co-heirs and children of God, we should imitate Christ. We have to live our lives as good examples to other people. We are like walking Bibles, they may not read it for now, but they must see it in our lives.

He will leave the 99 to find the lost one. Every time. All the time. He is our Saviour, Redeemer. He will always guide and protect, just as a shepherd is to his flock, so He will and more.

There's nothing that our God can't do. He does impossible things. He is supernatural, above and beyond what we can think of. Believe in Him and see the wonderful things He will do to your life as He uses it, and the lives of everyone you influence with your faith in Him.

Jesus' power and authority resides in those who have accepted Him as the Lord and Saviour of their life. Therefore, His life, which is of abundance, peace, fullness, joy, healing, restoration, and revival, will be made manifest in that life that is surrendered to Him. And must not be just contained but continuously overflowing for all to experience.

God does not look at the outside appearance of a person but looks at the heart. And a true worshipper of God hides in his heart the Words of the Father. And those who love and obey God, when he calls on Him in prayer, He hear because God knows that this person reveres His Word and is truly worshipping Him in spite of it all.

The Lord said that if we seek Him, we will find Him, if we seek Him with all of our heart. Not half-hearted but with our whole heart. And this means putting aside ourselves and making the center of our lives His will, prioritizing what He wants for us to do.

The Holy Spirit is living inside us when we receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour of our life. It is like we have this dynamic and awesome power and authority within us because of our identity in Christ. When we let the Holy Spirit work in us, we will not get weary, dry, or burn out, because it is not us but the Holy Spirit who is at work and is empowering us to do all the work of God.

We are saved to share the salvation we have, which we got for free. When we accept Christ, we are given the task, as well as the authority, to be His ambassador of peace and love in this world. It is not about us but about Jesus now. Carry this thought all throughout your day and exercise it regularly. Start with your family, relatives, friends, co-workers, and colleagues. Spread it out!

There is power in prayer. It has been recorded even in the ancient Bible time stories, that there is truly power in prayer. Allow God to move in your situation through prayer and watch it not only turn around for you but in such a miraculous way that no man can boast. Not only in your personal life but in others as well. Pray over your life, your family, your country, and the whole world. Speak life and God's promises, and believe.

A spiritual breakthrough will happen if you let the Holy Spirit lead you in whatever circumstance you may be in. Great and amazing things will take place in all aspects of your life because the power of God is so encompassing and intense, that most of the time, you'll feel you are being taken out of your comfort zone to be thrown into something so miraculous and unheard of it will leave you staggering over the results. That is how miracles begin.

We cannot be at our full potential apart from God. We will be having a hard time realizing our real purpose in life when we are apart from the One who created us. And as Christians, we cannot realize the many wonderful things we can do apart from God, and we cannot bear fruits, just as He has said in His Word, that we as the branches and Him as the vine, apart from Him, there's nothing we can ever do. But with Him, everything will be possible, even the most impossible for us.

God's wonder-working power works only when the vessels He chooses also choose to be used. That's who we are. We are saved not only for ourselves but also to influence others. To let them also hear the Good News we heard, to experience the goodness and faithfulness of the God we serve. So choose to be a useful instrument in the hands of God, for His glory and honor alone.

No matter what is happening around us, there is this assurance of joy in everything. We have this hope that never dies. The hope that transcends to eternity because we have been given the promise when we accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. So we walk here on earth, confidently, because our confidence is not in who we are, but Who is with us.

As Christians, we cannot deny the miraculous and supernatural favor and hand of God working in our lives. And although we are not spared the heartbreaks, broken dreams, and lives, yet there is peace and hope that replaces these negative thoughts almost immediately. That is how great our God is, who can do all these things and more for us, if we let Him. We only have to open up and obey, and be amazed at His greatness expressed through our lives.

We have been saved not just for ourselves, but for others, too. We have known Good News because someone prayed for us, because someone shared it with us, because someone has cared for our souls. We have been given this gift freely, and now that we have it, it is now our duty to share it with others. We are chosen and appointed to go.

To give back the praise and thanksgiving is as to worship Him in everything He is. We will have this hole in our hearts always when we put other things in place of the most important thing, the first thing we should seek. It is the air we breathe. The reason we live. Seek Him first, and everything will fall into place.
