Good Morning Sunshine! God’s Grace Is Sufficient!

2 Corinthians 12:8-10 AMP ~ “Concerning this I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might leave me; [9] but He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you [My lovingkindness and My mercy are more than enough—always available—regardless of the situation]; for [My] power is being perfected [and is completed and shows itself most effectively] in [your] weakness.” Therefore, I will all the more gladly boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ [may completely enfold me and] may dwell in me. [10] So I am well pleased with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, and with difficulties, for the sake of Christ; for when I am weak [in human strength], then I am strong [truly able, truly powerful, truly drawing from God’s strength].”

Have you ever heard or said this phrase, “Don’t worry, God won’t give you more than you can handle.” I know it seems well, but it’s not true! So many times, we get this saying mixed up with what God actually said, in 1 Corinthians 10:13, “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out that you can endure it.” He will help you with what you are being tempted with, but troubles will come! There will be things that come up in your life that you cannot handle, they are designed to draw you to God. You see weakness and strength are opposites, that don’t attract! But by definition, when you are weak, you are strong and at any given time, you can feel weak in a hundred of different ways. But over and over again you think that you can see God’s children being given way more than they can physically, emotionally and spiritually handle on their own. But God, say it out loud, But God! God designed all of this to show your weakness and His Sovereignty and Strength!

And in the midst of all this muck, the all-surpassing power of God is made perfect, in your weakness! It’s in the places that you are most feeble, that is the best platform for the Lord to show His perfect strength! God can be seen clearly when you stop your boasting, when you stop trying to prove to the world you can muscle up and push your way through! You need God! When there is no way, God shows up and blows your mind! When you get tired of hiding, God shows up and shows you how perfect He is and how much He can do! I know it’s easy to hide behind stuff, but it’s even easier to hid in God! It’s in the bumps and lumps that we want to hide, but it’s those parts that show your beauty and His perfection! This is when God comes and shows how perfect He is and how much He can do, simply because He loves you!

God’s Grace is Sufficient for you, no matter what! Thank God for your weakness, that is when His strength in you is made perfect! The weaker you are the more His power shows evident in your life. If you need to boast, boast gladly in your weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions and calamities, so that the power of Jesus Christ may rest upon you! You must learn to appreciate God’s Grace because it’s His Grace that is there for you, to give you strength to endure without falling short, as you move towards Him and your high calling! For you are called by God to live a Holy life according to Word of God, and God said that you can do this! Trust and believe what He says!

Live by faith in God’s grace, knowing that He is for you. Don’t run away from things that reveal and magnify all that God is in you. And remember, when you are weak, He is strong! God’s design for suffering is that it should magnify Christ’s Worth and Power. This is grace, because the greatest joy of Christians is to experience Christ magnified in your lives. Today, let’s choose to embrace what God can do when you are at your worst. Thank You Father for your love and kindness, when I am going through it, for I know that Your Grace is sufficient! Your Grace gives me the strength to get through it, and I am victorious because of You! Father I trust You, that You are strong when I am weak, and may others see You high and lifted up in me!

Let’s Pray:
Father, Thank You! Father, my heart is growing with gratitude, and I extol Your Majesty for, as my Father, You have manifested abundant love and mercy towards me. You have blessed me Your Holy Spirit so that I may live with Your Power on the inside of me as travel life’s journey. Father You are a Patient and Loving Shepherd, who guards my heart from discouragement in tough times and guards it from boasting and in good times. Father l, I know that without you I am nothing and I have nothing that is permanent. Father, Thank You for giving me a permanent, steadfast hope of Heaven with You, because of Your Grace and Mercy, that You give to me. Father, I will humbly boast in my infirmities for Your Glory, that the Power of Jesus Christ may rest upon me. In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

Good Morning Sunshine! Do You Know Jesus or Do You Just Know Of Him?

Mark 8:27-29 NKJV ~ “Now Jesus and His disciples went out to the towns of Caesarea Philippi; and on the road He asked His disciples, saying to them, “Who do men say that I am?” [28] So they answered, “John the Baptist; but some say, Elijah; and others, one of the prophets.” [29] He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered and said to Him, “You are the Christ.”

Jesus asked, “Who do people say I am?” not because He didn’t know what everyone was thinking or saying, but because He really wanted to ask the disciples, the ones that were with Him every day this question. Who do you say I am? For most of the people did not believe He was really the Messiah!

But the question was still on the table, who do you say I am? Peter spoke up and answered, “You are the Christ.” Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 16:17 NKJV! Somethings that you know about Jesus, you could not have gotten it from anyone but Him! It had to come way of the Spirit!

When it comes to your faith, God is the only One who can give you spiritual sight. Your spiritual eyes must be touched by the Holy Spirit in order to see and understand who Jesus really is. Here is where the rubber meets the road, if you want to see Jesus for who He really is, then you must first be born again and to be born again, you must hear the gospel!

Do you know what the Gospel is? This is the Gospel according to the Bible, “Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, [2] by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you-unless you believed in vain. [3] For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, [4] and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, [5] and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve. [6] After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep.” 1 Corinthians 15:1-6 NKJV!

This is the Gospel, Jesus died for your sins, He was buried, and He was raised from the dead on the third day, and then He appeared to the Twelve disciples, and then, to five hundred! This is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And this is what you must believe if you want to be saved and go to heaven when you die. It is just that simple!

Once you really believe you do Romans 10:8-10, “But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. [10] For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”

This is personal, who do you say Jesus is? As for me, I say He truly the Son of God! He is the great I AM! He is the Promised Messiah! He is the Wheel in the Middle of the Wheel! He is the Bright Morning Star! He is the Bread of Life! He is the Good Shepherd! He is the King of kings and the Lord of lords. He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world! He is my Redeemer! And He is my Lord and my God! Now who is He to you?

Let’s Pray:
Thank You God! Thank You for Your darling Son Jesus Christ. Thank You God for Your Son, the perfect sacrifice whose death secured my salvation. Jesus my identity is in You, and from You I receive the gift of holiness. Thank You God, for sending Jesus as my Lord and my Savior. I’m so grateful for Your sacrifice! Help me to live a life that honor the true identity of who You are Jesus and for all that You have done and is doing for me. Father thank You for transforming my heart and mind by the truth of Your Word, that I may know you and not just of You or what others say, but that I will know that I know You intimately and personally and I can declare that “You are the Christ.” In the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

Good Morning Sunshine! The Glory of God Is Covering You Today!

Exodus 3:14 AMP ~ “God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM”; and He said, “You shall say this to the Israelites, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”

When the Lord sent Moses to deliver Israel, he told him, “Go, and say I AM sent you.”

When the Lord chooses to show you His Glory, it is a revelation of how He wants to be seen through you and known by you for others to see Him! When God reveals His Glory to His chosen people, it is with a purpose in mind! There is a purpose in you for His Glory!

Has God revealed Himself to you in a new way? (Stop looking for God to come to you the same way that He did last time, He’s coming to you in a new way!) Moses was chosen by God for a purpose! You are chosen by God for a purpose! And when Moses asked who do I tell them sent me, God’s response was, “tell them I AM sent you” Period! No other explanation needed! Those that know Him will understand and those who don’t will desire to know Him because of the Glory that is being seen! The Glory drives you to hunger and thirst to get to know the Great I AM that I AM!

God wants you to have a thorough knowledge and understanding of why the Glory is important for you! The Glory is a not a feeling that comes over you, it’s encounter with Him and He chooses who He will show His Glory too, and He’s choosing you! So, when God sends you to a place all you have to do is say “I AM” sent me! No further explanation needed!

When the Lord sent Moses to deliver Israel, He gave him two specific instructions, To Go and To Speak, that I AM sent you.” Sometimes there won’t be any other explanation, so you have to trust in the Power of God and have a Yes in your spirit and heart and when you cry out to, “I AM”, He will show up, when He has sent you and not you yourself sending you! Know what you have been called to do and do that thing! Everything has already been prepared and His Glory has gone before you, because this is your set purpose, and you can trust this!

In your time of processing, His Glory has already covered you while you were standing in cleft of the rock! One true encounter with God and you will be stirred up, because you can’t encounter Him and be the same, this will be your come to Jesus moment, your place of changing and receive His Glory and you can be reassured in your daily walk that He is with you!

The Glory of God is here today, make haste to bow down to Him, make haste to worship Him, make haste to follow Him, make haste to obey Him, make haste to surrender to Him, make haste to choose Him, for you do not know the hour nor day when He’s coming back, be ready at all times!

Let’s Pray:
Father, thank You, thank You for your Glory! Father thank You for watching over us all night long! Thank You that You are keeping me all night long, Father I’m so grateful! Father, You have allowed me to be alive and well for 120 days in 2024, thank You Father! Father let Thy will be done in my life on this day, hide me in the cleft of Your Rock and let Your Glory cover me and prepare me to move out in assurance and confidence of what You purposed for me to do this day! Father, I thank You for Your Glory that will meet me today and I thank You for entering my life and letting everything that is not like you to exit my life! In the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

Good Morning Sunshine! Can’t Nobody Tell Your Story Of What The Lord Has Done For You, But You!

Psalm 66:16-20 MSG ~ “All believers, come here and listen, let me tell you what God did for me. I called out to him with my mouth, my tongue shaped the sounds of music. If I had been cozy with evil, the Lord would never have listened. But he most surely did listen, he came on the double when he heard my prayer. Blessed be God: he didn’t turn a deaf ear, he stayed with me, loyal in his love.”

Part 3! Wednesday, you sought the Lord and He heard you and He answered you. Yesterday, He answered you while you were still speaking! And today you need to tell someone what the Lord did for you! This song, Trust God, has moved me to another place in God! The more I say I sought the Lord, the more I want to call upon His Name. For not only did He hear me, but He answered me! Can’t nobody do you like Jesus! And can’t nobody tell your story like you can, they might forget the most important details. (That Jesus Did It!) The Word of God says that you will be known by your testimony! What is your testimony? What has the Lord done for you? Can’t nobody do you like Jesus!

Are you a believer? This Psalm is a call out for believers, those who confess that they love God, and those who truly fear Him, means that you respond in awe and wonder to the Lord! But there is something that can hinder and block you from having an effective prayer life, that is habitual and ongoing sin in your life. When you turn from God and rely on yourself, you are choosing to cherish sin in your heart and the Lord will not listen to your prayers. You have to repent to God and He will hear you and answer you and forgive you, (Acts 3:19)! You know the older saints knew how to call on the Lord, they knew just what to do and say to get His attention. You need to look back and see what they did that you might do it now!

What a wonderful privilege you and me have been given, you are able to go to bed at night and awake in the morning with the blessed assurance that all is right because of God! This did not happen because you did everything correct, and you never committed sin. Nope, it’s because you have been forgiven and washed by the Blood of Jesus (Hebrews 10:22, 1 John 1:7) that was poured out as an offering on the cross for your sin; even when you didn’t know that you needed it or deserved it your forgiveness is because of the love of God, and this is by His Grace and Mercy towards you! It’s because of Him that you are made righteous, and it is your obligation to submit to His Will and live for Him every day!

You are now in Christ, live each day with the commitment to bring honor to Him and to lead others to him. Seek the Lord, He is listening out for you, He hears your cry, He is holding you by His Righteous Right Hand, (Isaiah 41:10), He wants to lift you up, He wants to answer you! So, when it feels like life is squeezing you in on every side, call out to God. He promises to sustain you when you put your trust in Him. For when you are weak, He is strong and this makes you strong, (2 Corinthians 12:9-10)! It is a blessing when God answers prayers and It’s a greater blessing when you see it and recognize it for what it is, that it was God and God alone that did this for you! This is where you praise God for it! This is where you tell someone about what God has done for you! Do you have a testimony of a prayer that God answered for you, one that you know that if God didn’t do it, it couldn’t be done! Your testimony can do two things, encourage the believer and draw the nonbeliever to Him! Open your mouth tell somebody your story, they need to hear it, (Revelations 12:11)!

Say this out loud to yourself everyday day and all throughout the day…” trust You God, I sought the LORD, and He heard me, and He answered me, and He delivered me from all my fears, and He will never fail me, and that is why I will always put and keep my trust in God!”

Let’s Pray:
Thank You Father! Thank You for loving me so much that you gave your Son who knew no sin of his own to become sin for me so that I might become righteousness in him. Father Thank You for making me into who I am, I know that I am what I am by Your Grace and I’m praising You for everything! Father this is my prayer every day for the rest of my life, I sought You Lord, and You heard me and You answered me and You moved me to where You want me to be. Father, my soul seeks You and I long to commune with You! Father thank You for answering me when I called You, Thank You for never leaving me to myself! Father, You have won every battle of sin when You went to the cross. May I always stand firm and give myself fully to the work of Your Kingdom! Father, take everything away from me that is not pleasing to You for I want my life to please You and to bring Glory to Your Holy Name! In Jesus Christ Mighty Name. Amen!

Good Morning Sunshine! God Is Answering You! Glory Hallelujah!

Isaiah 65:24 AMP ~ “It shall also come to pass that before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear.”

Today is part 2! Yesterday you sought the Lord and He heard you and He answered you. Today He’s answering you while you are still speaking! This is where you should be and done broke out in a praise dance for what the Lord is doing on your behalf! The answer to your prayers is prepared before you pray. The desire to talk to the Lord about your needs comes from Him! Prayer begins with the mind of God, then it invades your mind, then moves you directly into what He wants and then is articulated in your words. He is more ready to hear you than you are ready to pray!

Do you see what God is doing on your behalf! You see He is the only One that knows your next thought and need, even before you ask for it and He’s answering while you are still speaking!  Isaiah 58:9-11, “Then you will call, and the LORD will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I. “If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk, [10] and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday. [11] The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.”

Do you know that your will has been liberated from bondage and you have been transformed by the cross and filled with the Spirit so that you can experience a deep impulse to pray. It is the Lord who motivates you to pray, and it is birthed in your soul so that the One who created you can commune with you and You with Him because of love. In John 4:19, the Word says, “We love Him because He first loved us.” He is the initiator of prayer. In prayer, He makes known to you what His will is so that you can ask Him for what He longs to give you in the first place! God is calling you into His Presence because He has the answer to your prayer request. The Word says, if you ask anything according to His will, He hears you!

You can be assured today that He hears you and then He answers you. This is what gives you confidence and the boldness that you can have in your prayer life, it’s your responsibility to answer the call. It’s in this time that you come face-to-face in communion with God and He makes it clear what it is that you are to ask for and He comes to help you solve every problem that you face! And now this is where you learn to embrace and enjoy His Presence in the present moment!

Let’s Pray:
Thank You Father! Father I’m praying for a new direction in my mind and my thoughts. Father m, I’m choosing You over and over again. Father bring me back when I wander away, for my desire is to please You. Father this is my prayer and story every day for the rest of my life, I sought the Lord, and He moved my soul to seek Him, and in seeking Him, I found me and how my soul longs to commune with You! Father thank You for answering me while calling You, for I know that You are answering me and You are delivering me from all my fears and troubles, and I’m grateful! I just can’t thank You enough for everything that You do for me and my family. Father, continue to draw me closer to You, for I want You more than I want anything else. Father, I love You, I love You, I love You! In Jesus Christ Name. Amen!

Good Morning Sunshine! Seek The Lord, He’s Listening Out For You! 

Psalm 34:4 NKJV ~ “I sought the LORD, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears.”

David who was a man after God’s heart wrote this Psalm! It was during one of the many times that he was being pursued by his enemies that he sought the Lord! Now David had witnessed God’s faithfulness on more than one occasion, and he had seen God work on his behalf before, but on this occasion, he was afraid, and he needed God to deliver him from his fears! 

David sought the Lord regularly because in seeking God he was able to overcome his fear instantly! In this Psalm David tells us two things that God did for him, first God answered and secondly, God delivered him from all his fears! Have you ever wondered, does God hear your prayers? Yes, every time you seek Him, He hears you and He answers you! The God you serve hears your cry, He is listening to you, He is catching every single tear! God hears your prayers! 

Psalm 17:6, “I have called upon You, for You will hear me, O God; Incline Your ear to me, and hear my speech.” Expect God to be listening to you when you call Him! You will be amazed at how God answers your prayers when you seek Him! They are never the answer that you expect or have planned. You need to be grateful that God is a good Father and He bends down to listen to our prayers. He’s not like anyone else. God has your answer. Stop placing your burdens on others, you will not find relief in them, go right to the Burden-bearer, and tell Him about your troubles and believe that He is able and willing to meet all of your needs! When you repent, you can go straight to the foot of the cross, when you have faith in your crucified and risen Saviour, you will receive power through Him! 

Throughout my life, I have prayed for so many things, some of which were important and while others, in hindsight, were less important. But as I look back, I am grateful that God didn’t always grant me my requests. (Can you be honest and say that?) If He had, I wouldn’t have found the joy I now have in my life! I wouldn’t not be where I am, I desire more of Him, just because I love Him! God answered my prayer in such a way that my life will never be the same. I look forward to seeking Him and spending time in His Presence. This is your place of transparency before God, He already knows. Seek Him! Surrender to Him! Be Submerged in His Presence! Let Him wash you with His Blood and His Word!  

God will answer your prayers in such a way that only He could cause such a turn-around in your life! When you seek God, He will give you peace and joy and strength and courage. Then you are able to tell someone else how precious Jesus Christ is to you. You can say out loud and be sure “I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and He answered me and He precious to my soul.” Hebrews 4:16, “Let us, therefore, come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” You never have to be afraid of God, He just wants you to have reverence for Him, have confidence and believe that when you go to Him in prayer, you can rest assure that you can go fearless and boldly to the throne of Grace! 

Let’s Pray:

Father Thank You! Father, today I’m calling on You in prayer, and I will pray without ceasing, for this is what Your Word says, and I know that Your Word is true, and it will accomplish everything it set out to do. Father, I am grateful that I can come to You anytime I want and in any place! Father, I invite You to be with me everywhere I am, for I don’t want to be anywhere that You are not at! Thank You Father for loving me and for bending down and listen to me! Help me to remember how loved I am by You and that I can safely place all my fears into Your hands. Help me to trust You in all areas of my life, and to leave all of my cares in Your care. Father, today I will bring to You any and everything that will try to make me fearful and I’m going to lay it before You and seek You! For I am confident in this one thing, that when I sought You, You heard me and You answered me and You delivered me from all my fears, and I’m grateful that You worked every single thing out on my behalf for my good and You filled me with Your faith, hope and love. In the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

Please listen to this song, it will bless your soul…

Good God Morning Sunshine! His Mercies Are New Everyday! Say Thank You God!

Lamentations 3:22-24 ~ “This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. [22] It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. [23] They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. [24] The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.”

God’s Mercies are new every morning and each day has enough Mercy in it for that day! Today, remember that God’s mercies never fail! The Lord is your portion today, all you have to do is put all of your hope in Him! Today, think about your life, has God shown you mercy? Do you remember His promises? Please don’t take God and His Grace and Mercy for granted! Have you shown mercy to anybody? Are do you just want to punish them? Where is your compassion?

When God dealt with His sinful people, He exhibited His love and compassion for them. The word Mercy conveys God’s unconditional love for His covenant people and Jeremiah experienced this firsthand through a personal encounter about God’s faithfulness to His people. Because most times punishment usually follows disobedience, but God, He promised restoration and blessing, and Jeremiah knew that God would keep His promises. Because God is faithful day by day, you can be confident that He will come through in His great promises for your future.

I have a question for you to ponder, how often have you sinned, disobeyed God, forgot about His Word and went your own way? And yet, in spite of you, in spite of this, God still showed His Mercy towards you, He didn’t give you what you deserved, He had Mercy on you! Now, it’s your turn to have mercy on someone, yes, they failed, and fell short, but so did you, for the Word of God says, “all have come short”, (Romans 3:23) but God still kept you, He sustained, protected, and blessed you!

Your hope can be sustained by recalling to your remembrance God’s loyalty and love and His deep compassion towards you. Always remember that God loves you in spite of you, and you can depend on Him at all times! Put and keep your trust in the only One that can give Grace and Mercy! Today, and every day you need to Praise Him and Thank Him for His Mercy, after all His Mercy endures forever and ever. Trust Him, surrender your life to Him and commit your life to a lifetime of serving Him, it’s for your good and His Glory!

Let’s Pray:
Father, search my mind and heart, and remove everything that is not like You. I repent right now for every time I took Your Mercy for granted. Thank You for Your Grace and Mercy and for forgiving me of all my sins.  Lord, give me the gift of mercy for others. I choose to commit my life to serving You. In Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

Good Morning Sunshine! You Have 1,440 Minutes To Do What God Called You To Do Today!

Mark 13:32-33 KJV ~ “But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.  33-Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.”

You have been given a brand-new day, 24 hours, 1,440 minutes and 86,400 seconds. What are you going to do with your time?

Time is the most valuable and priceless thing that you have, and nobody knows when their time is going to be up! You don’t have any time to waste on things that don’t edify or build up God’s Kingdom! God has given you everything that you need for today to accomplish what He put inside of you! All you have to do is be obedient and grab a hold of Him! You have new mercy today, Lamentations 3:22-23 NKJV, “Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. [23] They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness!”

Don’t let what you desire, or others get in the way of what God wants to do through you today. Seek Him first and He will add everything that you need to be successful in this hour. Take heed today and watch and pray. Remind yourself of who you are in Christ Jesus, a new creator, old things have passed away, (Isaiah 43:18-19 ~ “Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old.  19 Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert.”) yesterday is gone, don’t go back, you can’t fix or change anything that happened yesterday, all you can do, is do better today!

God has paved the way for you through everything, the wilderness, rivers and streams, He has you covered. The only thing you need to remember is Jesus loves you, this we know because the Bible tells us so! There is nothing you will not or cannot accomplish today because God lives on the inside of you.  Make every minute count, because no one knows the hour but, The Father; so you have no choice but to be intentional and on purpose today because this time has been ordained by God for you and for His Glory!

Let’s Pray:
Father Thank You, thank You for this day, Your day that You have invited me in to be a part of! Father I don’t take it lightly, I’m grateful for everything second of this day. Father help me to be intentional in everything that I do for You today. May I encourage someone to keep pressing and moving as You give me and them strength. Father, thank You for paving the way for me! Father, thank You for the ability to move and have my being to do what You have purposed me to do! I will do it with a good heart unto You!

Good Morning Sunshine! God Is A Provider!

Exodus 16:13-16 NKJ ~ “So it was that quails came up at evening and covered the camp, and in the morning the dew lay all around the camp. [14] And when the layer of dew lifted, there, on the surface of the wilderness, was a small round substance, as fine as frost on the ground. [15] So when the children of Israel saw it, they said to one another, “What is it?” For they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, “This is the bread which the LORD has given you to eat. [16] This is the thing which the LORD has commanded: ‘Let every man gather it according to each one’s need, one omer for each person, according to the number of persons; let every man take for those who are in his tent.”

God is your provider! He provided food for His people when they were in the wilderness and hungry. Despite the people’s lack of appreciation and faith, God was still faithful. Despite your lack of appreciation and faithfulness, God is still Faithful to you! He sent bread from heaven in the morning, and quail from heaven in the evening to make sure that they ate! God is feeding you morning and evening! He sent fresh manna straight from heaven to them and He made sure it was enough to fill you up! God does not feed His children leftovers! Stop trying to live off of leftovers, they aren’t any good! God wants you to have fresh food daily! This is proof to you that God is a sustainer for you and everything that He has supersedes the natural processes and natural things in this world that you run after!

God is your provider and your ultimate source of sustenance! This should teach you that you don’t live on bread alone but on every word that comes from His mouth, your sustenance that comes from God is greater than even the bread that you eat in your home, and even that is a gift from God! You need to recognize your gifts! The Word of God is the bread that the Lord has given you to eat! He is your sustainer and every good and perfect gift that you have comes from Him. This is why you should bow your head in prayer before you eat a morsel of food! Be grateful and thankful that you have something to eat! A grateful heart can realize that if it had not been for the Lord, there is no way you would have the bread that you are eating right now unless God had provided it!

Can you stop right here and Thank God! Thank Him that you have food for both your physical and spiritual needs! The sustenance that you are going to enjoy today isn’t going to come from your breakfast, lunch or dinner; your ultimate source of sustenance comes from God and Him alone! The children gathered the fresh manna and grinned it like grain and made it into sweet tasting pancakes. It was just what they needed to satisfy their natural hunger.  In the book of John 6, Jesus compares himself to manna. You do know that Jesus is your daily bread who satisfies your eternal and spiritual needs daily! I am the bread of life. [49] Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and are dead. [50] This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. [51] I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.” John 6:48-51!

Today, I want you to look Godward for your daily bread, for it will point you toward the One who is “the true bread from heaven”, “the bread of life” (John 6:32, 35), the One that can provide for you in every area of your life!

Let’s Pray:
Thank You Father! Father You are my Provider and I’m grateful! Thank You Father that no situation is too far out of your control for You to provide. You are Jehovah-Jireh, the God who provides all of my needs. Father m, You own the whole world and You hold it all in your hands! Father, Thank You for meeting all my needs before I even come to You, You are already aware of all that concerns me, and You have a plan in place to help me. Father, You move mountains to make ways for Your children in the desert and you provide water for me to drink, I’m grateful! Father help me to wait on You, for Your timing is perfect! Father, forgive me for doubting You and for trying to work everything out on my own. Father, help me to trust You and help me with my unbelief! Father, today I choose to believe that You are more than able to accomplish far more and to do far greater, than I ever thought possible. Father, I’m Thanking You in advance for the miracles that You did in paving out pathways, me, Father, I love You! Thank You for the abundance of blessing and goodness that You have already stored up on my behalf. Father, I put my trust in You this day, and every day, for the rest of my days. I’m so grateful for the joy that fills my life.  lives. Father, Thank You for teaching me to be content in all things. In the Name of Jesus Christ! Amen!

Good Morning Sunshine! Be Constant! Be Consistent! Be Confident!

Romans 12:12 AMP ~ “constantly rejoicing in hope [because of our confidence in Christ], steadfast and patient in distress, devoted to prayer [continually seeking wisdom, guidance, and strength]”

Every day say this to yourself, it will keep you in a place of hope! Hope in God! Let the hope that you have in God, help you to be in constant and consistent in your prayer life!
Let the hope that you have in God causes you to live your life with great joy on the inside of you regardless of trials and circumstances that take place around you!

God’s promise is your sure foundation and the reason why you should have hope! Let your hope in God be stronger than anything that you are not sure about! Let the hope you have in Him be stronger than all of your fears. Let the hope you have in God propel you to rejoice! God wants to hear from your heart today.  He wants to spend time with you, consistent time, not a drive bye or a quick minute, He wants time!

Today, if you are going through a rough season, give yourself some grace, for God has given you some. The Word says, “be patient in tribulation!” I know this is a difficult and different season that you are walking in, but be patient with yourself in this tribulation, it’s making you better. I know this is easier said than done, but you can do it with God’s help, trust it. Trust the Process of God! He’s in control, He can handle it, and remember His timing is not yours, His timing is perfect, and He does not make errors or mistakes, His plan is perfect! You can rest in God’s sovereignty and power! Just take it to God in prayer!

Be constant in your prayer life! So many times, we go hours into our day without stopping to pray to God, especially if things are going well, but let something happen, you can’t move quick enough to get on your knees in prayer. That is not constant prayer, that’s just going to Him because you have an urgent need or want!

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying don’t go to Him in prayer when you have a need, you are supposed to go to Him at all  times, but be consistent and constant in your prayer life which means you are with Him 24/7, and this is every season of your life, because the truth of the matter is when you are not constant in your prayers, you are missing out on the connection with your Father, and this is where your confidence lives!

You have been given the best gift ever, the ability to communicate with the God of this universe, there is nothing between you and Him but you! Surrender your will for His Will and take full advantage of this wonderful privilege that you have been given. No other thing that God created has this gift, but you do! Become constant and consistent, connected and confident in your prayer life and watch how you blossom!

Let’s Pray:
Father, today I’m pressing into You like never before, increase Your joy and hope in me. Lord give me more patience in my tribulations.  Father, draw me into a deeper prayer life with You, and deepen my desires to talk with You all throughout my day! In Jesus Christ Name. Amen!

Blessings…
Minister Jean
