God is at Work in us, Increase our expectations. Aug2021

For it is God who is effectively at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure. Philippians 2:13 AMP.

God is strengthening, energizing and creating the environment for us, to understand, know, fully recognise that the Lord Himself is God, who has made us, we are His people and sheep of His pasture.

Elisha recognized Elijah, as chariot and horsemen of Israel, by asking for a double portion of Spirit upon him, for the right to be regarded as the successor of Elijah; Even though Elijah said that it was the hard thing, Nevertheless, he said, if you see me when I am taken, it shall be so, if not it shall not be. Elisha did see his master, received double portion, established great ministry exactly as twice as Elijah. Amen.

Let us also increase our expectations and ask big things, pray bold prayers. Let God say what we are asking is hard to get it. Will He? No never. There is nothing, no nothing is impossible to Him to fulfil. We just need to Ask, keep on asking, Seek, keep on seeking, Knock, keep on knocking, by putting our Faith in Him, by trusting His timing, by following Him no matter what.

Is it Jericho? OK to me to follow by blowing ram’s horns and carrying the ark of the covenant as a sign of God’s presence, to expect an astonishing miracle from above.

Is it Jordan? - Others are going in different direction, standing afar, river is flowing in full?; But still let's expect a sign from the Lord, He will part the waters of the Jordan, just as He had parted the Red Sea in Egypt.

is there a desert on the way? or dry situation? He is the Way maker, Miracle worker. Just Trust Him and His timings.

The Truth is that we are Work in Progress (WIP) at His purpose. In this Month, let's increase our expectations by adopting His words to let God materialise His work as per His plan. Amen.

May we walk in a manner worthy of the Lord displaying admirable character, moral courage, and personal integrity, to fully please Him in all things, bearing fruit in every good work and steadily growing in the knowledge of God with deeper faith, clearer insight and fervent love for His precepts, in Jesus Name, Amen. (Colossians 1:10 AMP)

Asking God to fulfil His highest purpose is a great thing to ask for. Lets Get a double portion of that. Amen

Reference scriptures:: Isaiah 41:18‭-‬19; Ephesians 2:20, 3:16; 1 Kings 2:3; 3 John 1:2; Psalms 100:3; Philippians 1:6

I will open rivers on the barren heights And springs in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a reed-pool of water And the dry land springs of water. I will put the cedar in the wilderness, The acacia, the myrtle and the olive tree; I will place the juniper in the desert Together with the box tree and the cypress, Isaiah 41:18‭-‬19 AMP

having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the [chief] Cornerstone,
Ephesians 2:20 AMP

May He grant you out of the riches of His glory, to be strengthened and spiritually energized with power through His Spirit in your inner self, [indwelling your innermost being and personality], Ephesians 3:16 AMP

Keep the charge of the Lord your God, [that is, fulfil your obligation to] walk in His ways, keep His statutes, His commandments, His precepts, and His testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses, so that you may succeed in everything that you do and wherever you turn,1 Kings 2:3 AMP

Beloved, I pray that in every way you may succeed and prosper and be in good health [physically], just as [I know] your soul prospers [spiritually].3 John 1:2 AMP

Know and fully recognize with gratitude that the Lord Himself is God; It is He who has made us, not we ourselves and we are His. We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Psalms 100:3 AMP

I am convinced and confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will [continue to] perfect and complete it until the day of Christ Jesus [the time of His return]. Philippians 1:6 AMP

At the altar, our destiny is altered

At the altar, our destiny is altered... Reference-  Job 37:23-24 MSG “Mighty God! Far beyond our reach!     Unsurpassable in Power and Justice!     It’s unthinkable that HE would treat anyone unfairly. So bow to HIM in deep reverence, one and all!     If you’re wise, you’ll most certainly worship HIM.” God is unfolding His story in His own way. The Sovereign and Supreme Ruler is in control of everyone, everything, and everywhere, and the accuser must seek His permission before acting against us. He sees us as His own, and we belong to Him just as He belongs to us. As Job said, God can do all things, and no purpose of His can be stopped (42:2). The Just and Righteous Judge – Our God is fundamentally just, and it’s unthinkable that He would treat anyone unfairly. His rule and governance are righteous, even if at times our eyes, ears, and hearts may not fully understand. The source of all wisdom and revelation is God , whose knowledge is complete unlike ...

God's way is the Power

God's way is God's Power Reference- 1 Cor 4:20 MSG -  God’s Way is not a matter of mere talk; it’s an empowered life!! In 1 Corinthians, Paul speaks to a divided church where some were proud, eloquent, and believed they were spiritually superior because of their words and wisdom. He contrasts this human pride with the true power of God, shown in the cross, in changed lives, and in the work of the Spirit, the God's Power. It’s an empowered life—God’s ways are the true power, not found in mere talk, endless words, idle chatter, or impressive responses built on layers of discussion. It is a life empowered by the power of His Spirit, the presence of the Holy Spirit. It is power that breaks chains, sets us free, anoints us, and creates new opportunities, fresh paths, flourishing streams, divine strategies, abundant life, and limitless expansion. Paul didn’t ask the Corinthians to be practical . It’s not about having everything, but about having Him alongside others. That’s why h...

Efforts that counts...

Efforts that counts... Reference- 2 Ch 17  Context: King Jehoshaphat was a seeker and follower of the God of his father and was obedient to HIM; he wasn’t like Israel (at that time, Ahab was ruling Israel). And God secured the kingdom under his rule, gave him a firm grip on it. And everyone in Judah showed their appreciation by bringing gifts. Jehoshaphat ended up very rich and much honoured. Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone - Apostle James in 2:17 Efforts that showed his intention to Seek and Keep Him: Sticking to the ways of Asa (his godly father). Rejecting Baal — non-conformity to the ungodly culture. Removing high places and Asherah poles. This is personal reformation — the king putting his own house in order spiritually. Efforts that enabled others to Seek and Keep Him: Building defences — not just military, but spiritual covering. Sending teachers throughout Judah with the “Book of the Revelation of God” (likely the Torah or existing OT Scriptures). ...
