WITHIN SCRIPTURE.

DESTINY BEYOND MEASURE. * Genesis:41.48  Joseph collected all the food produced in those seven years of abundance in Egypt and stored it in the cities. In each city he put the food grown in the fields surrounding it. .49 Joseph stored up huge quantities of grain, like the sand of the sea; it was so much that he stopped keeping records because it was beyond measure. --------------------------------------------  Joseph was a ridiculed son. He was a stock of laughter. A trend of disgrace. His brothers never ever had it in their imaginations that he would ever have any colorful future. They never hoped that God had a precious hidden destiny for Joseph. Now their hopeless imaginations comes to an end. God stoops to joseph's level. He rapids the movements of Joseph towards his true destiny. These boys stop their childish perceptions about Joseph and God presents the hidden platter full of emeralds just for Joseph. It was as if a hidden white rabbit gently steps out of the gang of black c

* James:3.5 *   Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. .6 The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell. --------------------------------------------  When you speak, you speak your destiny. When you curse, you curse your destiny. And when you bless, you bless your destiny. Many times we are fond of speaking carelessly especially when speaking negatives. When we speak, what we say comes from within us. Nothing spoken comes from an empty body. As there is a soul and spirit in the body, whatever we say comes from the spirit within. The spirit within is influenced by one of the two great powers - the dark power or the holy power. And so whenever you speak of something out of emotions, you say it according to the purpose of the power in you. If it is

THE RIGHT SPIRIT. Psalm:51.10  Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. .11 Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. .12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me. --------------------------------------------  The steadiness of believers comes from within the heart. A steadiness that is produced from a pure heart.  Many times we have lacked steadiness because our hearts are not Christlike. We try to do all our best but in vain. We pray but cannot pray longer. And even during the prayer time, we feel relaxed and not moved. It all comes from the impure heart. If you wanna have anything to stimulate your steadiness, pray for a pure heart. Just below the verses, we see how David prays to stay in the presence of God and have the spirit of God. We cannot do any better if we lack His spirit. We cannot move any further if we are out of the presence of God. It is such being in His holy presenc

  Psalm:73.2-18  But as for me, my feet had almost slipped; I had nearly lost my foothold. .3 For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. .4 They have no struggles; their bodies are healthy and strong. .5 They are free from the burdens common to man; they are not plagued by human ills.........13 Surely in vain have I kept my heart pure; in vain have I washed my hands in innocence........16 When I tried to understand all this, it was oppressive to me .17 till I entered the sanctuary of God; then I understood their final destiny. .18 Surely you place them on slippery ground; you cast them down . --------------------------------------------  Some times unbelievers seem to run faster than believers in the race for resources. They prosper every now and then. They seem at ease with life.  It is of no surprise. The ruler of this age is their master. The one who rules this world is their captain. He will give them all that seems pleasing to them. He will plac

CONFIDENCE IN GOD.   Jeremiah:17.7   "But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him. 8 He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit." --------------------------------------------  The heart is the remote control of the body. Emotions that drive the body come from the heart. Confidence is an element of the heart, doubt is an element of the heart, fear is an element of the heart, faith is an element of the heart. Confidence however, is an element that sets the elements of the heart to a given focus. A focus such as a personality. Confidence will drive faith towards the focus, confidence will drive love towards the the focus. It can drive away the negative perceptions you had before about the personality in question. Confidence builds your character upon a personality. Many times, we

SERVING WITH HUMILITY. Job:28.28  And he said to man, 'The fear of the Lord-- that is wisdom, and to shun evil is understanding.'" --------------------------------------------  Where the heart puts it's focus is where it's fall arises. If the heart loves money, then it fall by money, if the heart loves drama then it will fall by drama. Fearing God is not shunning away from Him. But is to adhere to all that pleases him. Adhering to His system. To fear and shun all that displeases him; shunning meaning total resistance to evil. It is do what He expects of you. If it is service to him, doing it with love and respect. Such character at a distant angle is viewed as humility, and respect in the eyes of God.  Humility in such away is a route to wisdom and understanding. Many times we have lost humility because of failure to shun evil. We loose humility because of our failure to serve at God's table with total respect. We question and reason with systems that God has p

Acts:20.35  In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'" --------------------------------------------  One time through a research, one lady found out that Within scriptures; there are 500 scriptures that talk about Prayer, 600 scriptures that talk about faith and 2200 scriptures that talk about money and giving to those in need. And that shows how God is concerned about how we perceive resources and how we treat money. Most of the times most of us spend are times spent looking for resources. That implies that resources or money occupy a significant part in our lives. And how we perceive the resources is what will determine what kind of heart we have and how we relate to others.  Many of us perceive it as resources meant for only personal satisfaction. Not the case.! Within the above scripture, we see how Paul talks of how he spent m
