GRATITUDE

He has set a table before us in the presence of the enemy. The enemy of our souls. He has anointed us with oil, the oil of gladness. Therefore our cup overflows.
.
.
The cup signifies a medium with which we are blessed and a medium through which God blesses others.
.
.
The size of our cup depends on how well we are yielded to God and His will for our lives. 
.
.
Our level of submission determines how big the size of our cup .This submission on our part will bless us and others around us. 
.
.
The size of our cup determines the level of mercy we receive. The level of mercy we give determines the level of help we receive. 
.
.
The level of help we receive should dictate the amount of help we give. This is because the size of the cup depends on our action anyways. 
.
.
This is actually what God meant when He said Abraham shall be blessed and He shall be a blessing. His faith and yieldedness to God determined how much He was blessed and how many people were blessed through him.
.
.
 This means that faith is not complete without action (yieldedness and obedience to God). 
.
.
The number of times you say thank you to God when you receive blessings determines how many times you others will be blessed through you. When others are blessed through you, they say thank you to you too.
.
.
So the reason we pray and get answers is that we carry out the instructions given to us by God. 
.
.
Faith without action is dead. People of faith who obey God get answers when they pray. We should choose to be people of faith who also obey God. We should be grateful. SHALOM!

RELATIONSHIP CORNER 2.0 11-04-2020 "What a beautiful saturday!"  "This is the day that the Lord has made", Jane exclaimed as she entered the bath tube. "I will rejoice and be glad in it", she finished the line, her face beaming with smiles. The expression on her face connotes peace, joy and contentment. On this faithful day, Jane would be saying yes, 'I do' in some couple of hours. This moment she has to herself in the bathtub seems golden to her, and a reflecting moment so to say. After now,  she dresses up and off to church, from church to her new home.  She is grateful to God especially and to everyone that has been a part of her life till this moment. Ooops! There she goes, teardrops rolling down her face, seems beautiful on her face though. She is a beautiful lady, even the blind knows, and her heart for God is big, making her an exceptional breed.  Jane wiped off the tears and finally said, "I am grateful Lord,

RELATIONSHIP CORNER 5.O 14-04-2020 "BEYOND THE VEIL"  The veil is a net with which the face of the bride is covered on the wedding day. The veil is only needed on the wedding day, it doesn't go beyond that day. The covering of the bride on the d day is a customary process a bride goes through. There may be more than one significance for the opening of veil on the wedding day. For me, it is the crossing over from courtship to marriage. When the groom opens up the veil to behold the bride, new realities are opened up unto them.  Beyond, the veil are the realities of marriage, the way of life and the operations in marriage. Let me quickly drive home this point, what is obtainable in marriage depends on the relationship of the individuals involved with God on a personal level. When the personal level is taken care of, then, the joint level will be glorious.  That is why the Bible says: do not be unequally yoked with an unbeliever, for what has d

ANGER

ANGER . . No one can upset us without our permission. Many times unknowingly we give room for others to manipulate us and then we get angry when they do. . . When we put our trust in humans instead of God and they let us down, we get angry.  . . When we get angry at times, it is not about what someone did. It is about who did it. If any other person had done it, it wouldn’t have meant much but because the person who did it did it we get angry. . . The anger directed at the person who let us down makes us bitter and affect our relationship with others.  . . Others get to pay for the sins of someone they have never met and they too get angry and a vicious cycle continues. . . Why not place our trust in God who cannot fail and who would never go back on his promises. . .  When we place men in the position of God and see them as our all in all, they occupy a position in our hearts and influences us in ways that we cannot fathom. . . Humans will always be humans and God will always be God.
