Liberates Gradually To Make Us Inherit Fully

"Little by little I will drive them out before you, until you have increased enough to take possession of the land."
Exodus 23:30

Though we may wish to see our adversaries and obstacles cleared all at once, God prefers to unblock them little by little so that in the mean time we learn to be totally dependant on Him, grow in His grace and strength to inherit His favor. Though God contributes us His favor, it is we who should take possession of it, for which we need daring faith and absolute obedience. This is what He teaches us when He drives away our problems little by little.

The Real Need Of Revival

"LORD, I have heard the report about You and I fear. O LORD, revive Your work in the midst of the years, In the midst of the years make it known; In wrath remember mercy."
Habakkuk 3:2

We, the children of God need a great revival and re-animation from God so that the sea of flames of the Holy Spirit from within us ignites the society and brings new life all around. Let us not be inert or spriritually tired but have a towering hunger and thirst for the work of God in our midst.

Accomplish Everything With Him

"I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing."
John 15:5

Without God we can do not a single thing that would be of any worth. Let us with all humility totaly depend on Him, acknowledging His role in every single success of our lives and thus enjoy His entirety.

Be Not On Your Own Path

"Teach me your way, LORD; lead me in a straight path because of my oppressors."
Psalm 27:11

Let us not cater to our own way but understand the way that God would have us walk, because it would benefit our adversary who waits to deceive and devour us when we take the wrong direction. Let us not only ask God the map but also plead Him to guide and lead us in His way. Let us set our eyes on God alone and not on any of our circumstances, to be able to go in His path.

Favor For Pain

"It may be that the LORD will look on my affliction, and that the LORD will repay me good for his cursing this day."
2 Samuel 16:12

Let us never be angry with the device that causes us the pain but see God's hand behind it because not a word nor a weapon can be raised against His children without His knowledge. God thus prepares us for the mercies and goodness that He has in store for us and He will bring good out of all our pain.

Give God His Space

"For the LORD your God moves about in your camp to protect you and to deliver your enemies to you. Your camp must be holy, so that he will not see among you anything indecent and turn away from you."
Deuteronomy 23:14

To retain God's presence, grace and power with us, to save us from becoming a prey to our rivals and backbiters, and to overthrow any sin, curse or sickness that tries to cripple us, we have to abstain from any fithiness or impure works.

Happiness Is Our Cure

"A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones."
Proverbs 17:22

God wants us always to be radiant and cloudless, so that we can have our life to the full and at the same time cheer up and encourage others too. We need to see life as God sees it. He always wants to bring good out of even our darkest times. We never need to be crushed down by our burdens but leave everything to God, who is always there to give us rest and peace.

Exhaust Your Hearts And Be Undaunted

"Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge."
Psalm 62:8

When we place our confidence in God always, we automatically tend to pour out our hearts to Him with all it's deep-seated secrets and desires in each and every move of our life. Then we can invariably feel His support and care at any point of time.

The Right Time is Now

".. I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation."
2 Corinthians 6:2

Tomorrow is never ours because we never know what will happen or where we would be. So let us take maximum advantage of His unconditional love and grace today, for He is there to answer and help us now(Isa.49:8). Let us therefore make it a point today to confess our sins to be forgiven and reach out to Him with all our failures in order to be blessed.

Valiant For Our People

"Be strong, and let us fight bravely for our people and the cities of our God. The LORD will do what is good in his sight."
2 Samuel 10:12

Let us be bold enough to take position for the welfare of our family, society and nation, not for our fame but for the glory of God. Let us be hooked to do our best and leave the rest with God. Let us strengthen our loved ones in their spiritual warfare. God will work out victory in His own way and in His time.

God In Alliance With Our Friends

"The LORD takes my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me."
Psalm 118:7

We are not to put our confidence in men though they are our best counterparts, seeking our welfare, because it is the support and strength of God to them that makes our cause a success and makes us look in triumph at our haters. At the same time let us not be unmindful of our supporters but thank God for them and be thankful unto them.

Mourning Breaks Down, Praises Builds Up

"Wake up, wake up..! Wake up, wake up, break out in song! Arise..! Take captive your captives.."
Judges 5:12

Let us trigger our body and mind, gifts and talents, and all that is within us to sing God's praises. Why should we be dumb, while the whole universe that God created for us praises Him? Sadness undermines our potency, doubts and fears droops down our stability. But singing joyful notes unto the Lord makes us stronger. Let us therefore imprison all those and that ensnared us and our strength, and celebrate God's victory.

Irradiated By God

"The LORD is God, shining upon us. Take the sacrifice and bind it with cords on the altar."
Psalm 118:27

God has enlightened our spirits, delivering us from the power of darkness, rescuing us from the darkness of unbelief and ignorance, giving us future hopes of His glory. Let us therefore be drawn with His cords of love towards His altar and offer us as living sacrifices.

Our Soul's Strength, Our Foes' Weakness

"..O my soul, you have trodden down strength."
Judges 5:21

When our soul is strengthened by the grace of God, the strength of our spiritual foes will automatically be trodden down. God needs us to be strengthened in our soul so that we can be engaged in the advancement of His cause. It is He who does the fight. We just need His strength to move on. It is the power of God that empowers us to gain victory for His glory. Let us therefore not be timid but strong in our soul.

It is our glory when we glorify Him and not when we are dumb with our circumstances. Let our hearts be captivated with His glory and honor so that we never stop lifting up His name.

Our Plans Are Just Dead Ducks

"The LORD knows all human plans; he knows that they are futile."
Psalm 94:11

God knows all secret thoughts and plans of our mind and He knows that they are just vanity and nothing better than that.

It is God who alone can bring all things to pass.

"My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you."
