BE STILL.

 BE STILL.

 Exodus 14:13

Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. 14 The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”
--------------------------------------------
Just that the challenge looks over us, many times we tend to fight our own way over it. We struggle by physical might to overcome the mountainous challenge.

It is verse 14 of the book that caught my attention. It says that you only need to stand still. That God will fight the war,...yes.., but you also need to be still . You need to be at peace. You need to believe.
Many time we have assumed the position of God and have tried to fight battles that are meant for God. We have assumed God's shoes and think we are the ones supposed to fight.

When the Bible says that the battle is God's and the victories are yours, you had better understood what that clearly means. It can't mean you fight and God takes the glory. No. If it were so, then God would be taking glories on credit; the glories that He never deserved. God takes the glory because He was there fighting the battles. He knows He made it with His own hand. The victory becomes yours because you had the battle. 

We are nothing without God. The devil in his nature is more cunning than we are. He is more intelligent than we are. We become more than him if we only add onto ourselves the Spirit of God....if we add God to ourselves. It is God that makes us look more than conquers. But then He needs us to always leave the space that He needs in fighting our battles. He , on the earthly contract with us, needs to gain glory for Himself. He cannot gain the glory if we assume His position and try to fight the battles the He should be fighting. He needs to do it himself. You only need to stand still. Stillness gives way for the Spirit of God to work. It clearly shows who is the lead in the battle. 

The Egyptians of this world may have risen against you, be still . The mountains of this world may have gone beyond you, be still. Things may not be working out like they are supposed to be, just be still....you only need to do that. Let God take the lead. Don't reason as if there is no tomorrow, let Him reason the battle. Let Him prevail. His hand is never too short. His might power is not limited. He is not weak .He can do much more. He is more than a conquerer. He is more than able. He is strong enough. Whatever it is, stand firm and see the Deliverance of God today.

                 GOD BLESS YOU

TRIBE OF LENDERS

TRIBE OF LENDERS   Proverbs 19:17  He who is kind and generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward him for what he has done. -------------------------------------------- It is easy to go through life with the mind of "it's not enough...it's not enough". By nature, we were created to recognize the fact that it's we first then .... We were created to survive and always know that there is not enough. Our genes have been made to think about ourselves alone and how we survive in the world of scarcity. This fact that thrives within us is not supposed to be proved true. There are several results that God has set for those that prove such rules wrong. You know, when you try to go against human nature and try to mimic the nature of God, you attract more of what God has set for the cause. As the human nature is self centered and self seeking, stepping out of such to pursue kindness and open hands attracts God's attention...it attracts the rewa...

OLDEN STRENGTH

OLDEN STRENGTH Psalm 77:1 I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. -------------------------------------------- It is easy to go through life thinking about the future and forgetting the past. Craving for the future is one thing I have realized does not end. Even the very rich still have cravings. There can not be a moment where cravings end and the mind is inactive only thriving in gratification. Such a moment is only created by us. Anyway, that was a by- the- way. Our point starts from here. The future does not hold the roots but the past does. The roots are not from the sky but are from where the tree started. What makes the tree strong are the roots .  What makes the future strong are the roots. They are the past. You cannot know where you should go unless you know where you came from. How typical you may know where you came from is another factor.  Knowing that God is great is not knowing the future that holds. Knowing that Go...

FORWARD

FORWARD Luke 13:33  In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day—... --------------------------------------------    A Levite in the desert thought was cunning. After killing the Egyptian, he sauntered back to the community. Little did he realise that he was noticed by his fellow and that the news had gone about faster than it could. Knowing this, he fled to Midian where he met the Lord. And being asked by the Lord to rescue his people from slavery, Moses refused. He thought that role was better with someone more superior. But after the Lord insisting, he took the task. The people who were thought as slaves were no lesser to stubbornness and disrespect. They gave Moses hard time. But one thing that happened was forward movement.  Even the Lord used lots of wonders to sustain them through the journey and yet many died from their stubbornness. But regardless of their deaths, the journey went forward. God moved forward. Moses faced the worst of trial...
