THE FOUR BLESSED LOOKS!


Hey, There is a lot to learn from this piece, enjoy.

The FOURblessed looks:
1. Look back and thank God.
2. Look forward and trust God.
3. Look around and serve God.
4. Look within and find God!

I asked God,'How do I get the best out of life?'
God said, 'Face your past without regrets, handle your present with confidence, and prepare for the futurewithout fear!
'Without God, our week is: Mournday, Tearsday, Wasteday,Thirstday, Fightday, Shatterday and Sinday.
So, allow Him to be with you every day!' Life is short, so forgive quickly. Believe slowly. Lovetruly. Laugh uncontrollably. Never regret anything that makes you happy. Time is like a river. You cannot touch the same water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again. Enjoy every moment of life. Have a blessed day today!!

YOU WILL SEE AMAZING THINGS!

Luke 5:26 “All the people were completely amazed and began to praise God. They were filled with much respect and said ‘today, we have seen amazing things!”

Simon peter had had a very bad day. He tried catching fish but to no avail. Suddenly he receives an instruction from Jesus to cast his net into the sea. Imagine that! After being at sea all day trying just to catch a couple of finish; you are on the verge of giving up and going home and then somebody comes and tells you to give it one more go. You might be thinking – why should I listen to this person, after all I have been here all day and nothing has worked so what makes this one go special?
But because of that single act of obedience and faith, the Bible says that they caught so much fish that their boat almost sunk!That’s impressive.Now if that doesn’t impress you, then listen to this. A paralyzed man who had never walked in his life was brought to Jesus.He never knew the feeling of what is was like to use his feet; to put those feet on the ground and move them one after the other. However the day came when he was instructed to stand up, take his mat and go home! He went home praising God.

So dear brothers and sisters, you will see amazing things too! The people then are as good as the people now, God is cooking something BIG that will leave you amazed. Remember to have faith and think BIG, you will surely see amazing things in your life.
Remain Blessed.

NETWORKING

Ephesians 4:16 “Each part…helps the other parts grow.”
Next time you’re walking in the woods, imagine what’s taking place under your feet. As the roots of trees come into contact with one another they form an underground support system. One has access to water, another to nutrients, another to sunlight, etc. A networking is taking place that strengthens them all.
This is what Paul had in mind: “[Under His direction], the whole body is fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.”
As we network, we must be conscious of the following:
(1) Mercy. “Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others” (Col 3:13). What motivates us to show mercy to others? God’s mercy to us. You’ll never be asked to forgive someone else more than God has already forgiven you.
(2) Understanding. “Be sympathetic …kind…gentle and patient” (Col 3:12). Sympathy meets two fundamental human needs we all have: the need to be understood and the need to have our feelings validated. The problem is we’re in such a hurry to fix people that we don’t have time to sympathize with them. We’re too preoccupied with our own hurts. Self-pity dries up sympathy for others.
(3) Encouragement. “I want us to help each other with the faith we have. Your faith will help me, and my faith will help you” (Ro 1:12). All of us are strengthened in our faith when others walk with us and encourage us.
So today, practice networking!

THE BATTLE IS THE LORDS!

1 Samuel 17:47 “The battle is the Lord’s.”
The instant he went out to fight Goliath, David began to declare victory saying, “You come against me with sword and spear…but I come against you in the name of the Lord…[He] will hand you over to me…and the whole world will know…there is a God in Israel…for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give all of you into our hands” (I Sa 17:45-47).
Nobody around him seemed to have figured God into the equation, butDavid talked about nothing else. He saw what they didn’t and refused to acknowledge what they did. Why?
Because he knew that the God he served was bigger than the giant he faced. If you’re in a seemingly hopeless situation where there appears to be no way out, begin to focus on God’s power. When you focus on the enemy you stumble, but when you focus on God the enemy stumbles.

You’ll never win if you fight in your own strength; God’s already “given you authority…over all the power that the enemy [possesses]; and nothing shall…harm you” (Lk 10:19). Paul writes, “Put on God’s [coat ofArmour]…that you may be able successfully to stand against [all] the strategies…of the devil” (Eph 6:11). But your coat of armor won’t protect you if you leave it hanging in the closet. You’ve got to put it on! Three things Satan can’t withstand are: God'sWord, Christ’s Blood, and the Name of Jesus. When you use them you’ll bring him down every time – just likeDavid toppled Goliath!
