THE KINGDOM OF GOD SERIES: IN YOUR HANDS...

"My life is in your hands..."

Psalm 31:15

 

I give myself away 

so you can use me
Have your way with me
you created and moulded me

A vessel to impact generations

present and those to come
your kingdom, manifest it through me

Make this a tangible testimony

for the world to see and truly glorify thee

Let my life declare that your

ears are not deaf that you cannot hear

eyes are not blind that you cannot see
hands are not short, that you cannot save

mercy is true and love eternally sure

Let my very existence declare

You alone are God

and you are God alone
selah...

I believe with every fibre of my being that there is only ONE GOD.  He is the creator of heaven and earth, my maker,father I am His. Without and outside of Him there is nothing - no life, only death through the darkness that resides in this world.

It is a beautiful thing to know God. His presence brings absolute peace. Regardless of what one might be going through, the knowledge and assurance that you are in God's hands, makes it all okay.  Whatever it is, that assurance tells and gives the peace that "this too shall pass" and when it does, I will be stronger, wiser and more dangerous to the kingdom of darkness! Now that is power!

DO YOU KNOW HIM?

The first step to knowing (have  personal relationship with) God, is to acknowledge His son, Jesus Christ. The one who came to live amongst us as man, who died and rose on the third day to heaven and is right now seated at the right hand of God. The one who died to give us salvation, who died to give us back dominion and victory over the devil. The one who came to give us access to the Kingdom of God - Heaven.   He is the ONLY way to know God, as declared in John 14:16, which reads "Jesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me."

In the times we live in now, the world is confused and on a slippery downwards slope to hell. Most are wondering where we go from here, consulting the news and all sorts of mediums on how to live their lives, how to prosper, how to put food on the table for their family, how to get a job and so on.   However, the answer to all we seek in this life cannot be found in this world. It can only be found in God.

If you are worried, fed up and frustrated about your today and what the future for you and your family  holds, and have tried everything  you know how to, I invite you to give Jesus Christ a try.  I promise you, it will be a decision you will NEVER regret.  I echo the words of David the Psalmist and I invite you to taste the Lord and see that He is GOOD.  Psalm 34:8 reads "O taste and see that the Lord [our God] is good! Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man who trusts and takes refuge in Him.".  I invite you to taste Jesus Christ as your Lord as saviour.

How I hear you ask?  By the renewing of your mind (changing the way you think) as Jesus declared in Matthew 4:17, it reads "From that time Jesus began to preach, [a]crying out, Repent ([b]change your mind for the better, heartily amend your ways, with abhorrence of your past sins), for the kingdom of heaven is at hand".

I encourage you to give your life, in total surrender to Jesus Christ. Ask Him to forgive you for all your sins and ask Him to come into your heart and life and take total control.  He will wash away all your reproach, wrong doings, your sin. He will wash them all away His  precious blood and give you new life, eternal life and access to the kingdom of God, heaven.

You will experience the best of Him and what He has to offer, which includes, peace, joy, happiness, faithfulness, prosperity, everlasting love, and your name in the book of life.


Have a great rest of the week precious people.

Much love, Remi

BECOME ENDLESS PRAISE....!

"But thou art holy, O thou
that inhabitest the praises of Israel".

Psalm 22:3

To INHABIT means to live or dwell in, to exist or be situated within.
To PRAISE means to offer grateful homage to someone.

Whenever I read the opening verse I tend to make it mine and personalise it to read "But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Remi". I make it mine.

The verse explains to us that God lives in the praises of His people which means that whenever we praise, God is present. Praise is God's address.  This tells me that if I want God to continually be live in my life, I must always praise. 

However, we must understand that praise is not a one time event, that happens at the beginning of Sunday service or a prayer meeting, or indeed in a particular place. Praise is a continuous daily living event. There is no beginning or end to it.  The operative word here is 'continuous'.   CONTINUOUS means 'to go on with a particular action or in a particular condition; to be persistent in it'

Praise should happen from the minute we open our eyes to when we go back to bed.  Praise should be in our hearts, minds, actions, thoughts, which eventually spills over from our lips.

A life of praise is lived through thoughts and actions that demonstrate the nature of God, such as compassion and humility as 1 Peter 3:8 encourages us to. It reads "Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble".

When we live a life of praise, it means we acknowledge God's greatness and declare like David in Psalm 48:1 , "Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised In the city of our God, In His holy mountain".

A life that represents an act of seamless praise and thanksgiving, will experience the ramifications of God's dwelling, such as:

Ability

Blessings

Courage

Excellence

Diligence

Faith

Goodness

Holiness

Irresistible influence

Joy

Knighthood

Love

Mercy

Newness

Obedience

Quality

Rest

Salvation

Triumph

Understanding

Victory

Wisdom

Xanadu

Yahweh

Zealousness

Whatever you do,with whom ever and wherever you do it, let your thoughts and actions be a continuous expression of praise to God.  Let them show the intricacies of who Jesus Christ is - Love, compassion, humility, faithful and much more.  

Some will never read the Bible or hear a moving sermon to bring them to Christ.  It will  the very expressions of praise we emit, that will minister to them.

I encourage you to let continuous praise flow from your very essence; making God famous along your way.


Much Love, Remi
