MY REDEEMER LIVES
Because he lives, I can face tomorrow. (John 8:17). Jesus knows it better when he tells us not to worry about tomorrow. (Matthew 6:34). We spend more time worrying about our future than praying for the will of God to be done and yet God has plans to bring us a future that we expect. We ought to plan, but always commit them to God because man makes plans but God directs his steps.(Proverbs 16:9). Rejoice you have a treasure in your life that is un stoppable. That is the invisible God in you. Our faith in God overcomes the world. (1 John 5:4).

ANCIENT OF DAYS
Ancient means old and therefore ancient of days means something that existed in the olden times. Daniel refers to God as the ancient of days. Jesus said before Abraham was I am. Before the world existed, God was there. He’s the beginning and the end, the Alpha and Omega ( Revelations 1:8) and to his kingdom there shall be no end Isaiah 9. I just want to encourage everyone, that Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. Hebrews 13:8. What he used to do in the olden bible days, he can do even today and right now. The God of Moses and Elijah is our God too.

WISDOM IS A PRINCIPAL THING
I would describe knowledge as exposure to the truth or facts about something. We acquire knowledge from school in most cases through reading and listening to those that pass it over to us. Understanding is the perception one gets from the knowledge acquired while wisdom is the ability to solve a problem or take the right decision amidst challenging scenarios or circumstances. In all this, wisdom becomes principal or the most important of all. Proverbs 4:7 tells us to seek understanding and in all our getting to get wisdom. It literally means , these three work hand in hand. Proverbs 13:15 says, good understanding gives favor. He who finds wisdom finds life and obtains favor from the lord. Proverbs 8:35. It is very difficult to obtain favor without having wisdom. Remember , Psalms 111:10, Proverbs 1:7 and Proverbs 9:10, proverbs 15:33 say, the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. Proverbs 14:9 says , the wicked mock sin but among the righteous there’s favor. A good man obtains favor from the lord but a man of wicked devices will he condemn. Proverbs 12:2. I have a lot of scriptures to share with you al l from my head. God will be a sure foundation of our times, a rich store of wisdom knowledge and salvation and the fear of God is the key to this treasure. Isaiah 33:6 The bible tells us in Luke 2:52, and the child Jesus grew in stature in wisdom and in favor before God and men. Jesus, I thank you for giving me this wonderful gift of being able to grasp your word so easily. I’m humbled to be chosen by your grace to be your mouth piece and an encouragement to your children especially in this era where the devil has deceived the world and made people too busy to read the bible and make it seem like the bible is a boring book to read. Every good and perfect gift comes from above from the father of lights in whom there’s no variation nor shadow of turning. James 1:17. You too have a gift from God, use it for his glory.

" I KNOW THE PLANS I HAVE FOR YOU"
God will bend, twist and shape a situation till it comes out the way he planned it.
By the time God told the Israelites he had good plans for them, they had spent seventy years in captivity in Babylon. Even when nothing seems to have meaning in your life, God still cares for you. I am always challenged by the life of Joseph. If he hadn’t passed through that suffering, God’s plan of saving his family from famine and promoting him next to the king wouldn’t have come to pass. Joseph finally tells his bothers in Genesis 50:20, “What you intended for evil, God turned out for good.” All things work together for the good of those who love the lord, to those he has called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28.

DESPISE YOUR ORDEAL
Hebrews 12 tells us to look unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith who for the joy that was set before him, he endured the cross and despised shame but now is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Begin to despise your challenging situation and have faith that the glory of your latter will be greater than the former. ( Haggai 2:9).Though your beginning is small,
your latter end will increase abundantly. (Job 8:7) . Overlook that problem because the glory of God will be revealed if you don’t give up on him.
your latter end will increase abundantly. (Job 8:7) . Overlook that problem because the glory of God will be revealed if you don’t give up on him.

TIRED BUT GOING
A number of times in our walk with God, we get tired. Jesus knows this and that’s why he invites all that are tired and are heavy laden to give them rest.( Matthew 11:28). There’s a tendency for us to grow weary simply because we may think God is taking long to answer our prayers. The bible nevertheless says those who trust in the lord will not grow weary.( Isaiah 40:31) In the book of Judges 8:4, we read about a story of the 300 men that were with Gideon. Despite the fact that they were tired, they were still persuing their enemies. In Luke 18, Jesus tells us about the widow that never gave up persuing her desire and he later asks if the son of God will find faith on the earth when he returns. Faith without patience is useless. Let us not be slothful but be followers of those who through faith and patience obtain promises. ( Hebrews 6:12).

FEAR NOT
I would describe fear as having a negative instinct something bad will happen to you or being afraid or scared of whatever is likely to come out of an event, report or action taken. It is lack of confidence that one will have a good result. It is basically lack of faith. God repeatedly tells us not to fear because he’s with us.(Isaiah 41:10). Today , I want to encourage someone who is faced with a situation that looks like a mountain before you, that God is greater than all powers and that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow and every tongue confess he is lord. Believe God to get you through it.

DECREASE AS GOD INCREASES IN YOU
God uses circumstances to humble our lives. John the Baptist’s prayer in John 3:30 was that he decreases as God increases in him. At the time when he was in prison and about to be beheaded, he sent messengers to ask Jesus if he was the one or they should expect another. Jesus tells them to inform John of the miracles they saw him do and later considers John as the greatest among those born of women. If we humble ourselves under God’s mighty hand, he will lift us up. (James 4:10)
