Decisions, Decisions, Decisions… life is full of them. Everyday decisions have to made, for the good or bad. Thus, we know that one decision can change the course of an individual’s life. Since this is a fact, it is important for the Christian to make the right decisions, especially those that will have a direct impact on their walk with Christ.

Choose you this day whom ye will serve… Josh 24:15 (KJV)

Some reading this are contemplating some things that will have a negative influence in their Christian walk. Some are considering leaving your church, leaving your family, and leaving ministry. Some are trying to decide whether to serve Christ any longer or no. But on today, some need to change their mind.

Quitting is not an option. God has not failed you. He will heal you and give you peace, even in this life. Some have already made up their minds concerning some things, but it is time for you to change your mind. Go on and walk with the Lord, He is faithful. Say it with me, “I Change My Mind!”

Prayer of the Week:

 “I thank you that you will help me fulfill choices I make for You. You will ensure that they always produce results. Help me to remember this truth. Amen.”

Walk On Water: Victory in Unstable Times

The story of Peter walking on water is extraordinary. Through Christ, he was able to defy the laws of nature. Water became to him as dry land until he focused on his surroundings. However, his walking on water should inspire faith in those of us who are facing impossible situations.

The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods. Psalms 24:1-2 (KJV)

Psalm  24  says that  God founded the earth upon waters and floods. This means that He shows us His greatness in circumstances that are rocky, shaky, and unstable.

Whatever situation you are facing. Whatever impossible circumstance that is before you. Through faith in Christ, we can “walk on the water” of our situations. The Lord still helped Peter when he doubted, and He will help you if you get worried. It is time for you to trust Christ and “walk on water” in the situations of life.

Prayer of the Week:

“I know God that you are holy. It is because of your holiness that I can trust your will for my life. I thank you that you will always remain the same. Amen.”

Don’t Rely on Yourself

    Fear is a powerful emotion. It can make one irrational and illogical. What things cause you to fear? How do you respond to your fears? If you would be honest, fears usually make you throw out reason and you begin to rely on your senses rather than sensibilities.

    Though God has promised His abiding presence to those who know Him, Christians still find themselves governed by fear rather than faith. Abraham allowed his fear to dominate him; in turn, he dropped faith and relied upon his ingenuity in the situation.

Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee. Gen 12:13 (KJV)

God had promised Abraham that He would bless Him. However, Abraham feared he would be killed because of his beautiful wife. Consequently, he relied on deception rather than on God for protection while in Egypt. What situations are confronting you? Are you relying solely on yourself or on God who is faithful and gracious?

Abraham’s reliance on himself nearly cost him his wife. When you turn from faith to fear, you will not rely on God; you will rely on yourself, which is subject to failure. Why not stand on the One who cannot fail. 

Prayer of the Week:

 “I know that I can trust you God, but help me to overcome fear in my present circumstances. I thank you that you will never leave me or fail me. Amen.”
