Grace and Glory seems to be a fitting theme for this time of the year.
“For the Lord God is a sun and shield. The Lord will give Grace and Glory. No good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly” (Psalms 84:11).
Be careful not to decide what is good. Trust God to give to you all things and what He gives is always good. He brings and He gives His greatest blessing and it is yours to have. For He so loved the world that He made it possible for you to have this great blessing right where you are.
You do not have to go to the Temple or to the Church to receive it, just believe and receive and you can have this precious gift. The gift is Jesus. When you take a look at your life, God shows you yourself and he shows you Himself. You are able to see your weakness and His all sufficiency.
What revelation do you get? Let me help you; God is good! And that what is good and that what you have called bad, it’s all because of His Grace. Life’s journey is one of Grace. So, as you go through this season of Grace enjoy all that which in many ways you do not deserve. That’s the Glory extended to you because of His Grace. Hallelujah!
Even though all of your days may not have been bright, you are yet here experiencing another year’s end which is another act of His Grace and Glory. Can you believe it and see it and feel it? Be thankful and receive the greatest gift of them all, Jesus Christ. He is your hope, your Saviour and He is yet full of Grace and will fill your life with Glory. “for the Lord God is a sun and shield” which means He assures you that He will guide and protect you.
Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!!

“Your Word is a Lamp unto my feet and a Light unto my path.”
(Psalms 119:105).
Read this verse aloud as though you have never hear it before. Now, think of the message that it gives to you as you walk through the path of life, even this very moment.
God has a definite path for each of us and a definite Word that will take you through which will enable you to break through any and every barrier that has been placed in your way.
Change your thoughts about yourself and see the Glory of God. There is a Power that’s not intimidated by your circumstances! You do not have the spirit of fear, but of power. Be Brave!
Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. If God be for you, He is more than the world against you. Turn every one of your past failures into a present victory.
”And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God”
(Romans 12:2).
Let go of all those limited beliefs and thoughts which have kept you from moving foward and get free. When challenged, the Universe will open making you aware of all that God is. Equip yourself and don’t allow anyone to tell you that God can’t deliver you.
“What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us who can be against us? He who spared not His own son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him freely give us all things?”
(Romans 8:31,32)
In this hour, this very moment, you can know where to go, what to do, and who you need to see to do what you need to do. The light nor the lamp will destroy the darkness neither will you be able to see into the darkness, but your trust in God will see you through the darkness.
There is a Lamp and a Light to guide your every step. One step at a time. Remember, it’s always in front of you. Don’t worry, He will get you there!
God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man that He should repent: has He said, and shall He not do it? Or has He spoken, and shall He not make it good?
(Numbers 23:19)
God does not change! If God has said it to you, you can call it to be by faith. Call those things which are not as though they were (Romans 4:17).
Your faith, right now can change, replace and give to you every promise that God has ever made to you. Remember, Abraham was at the end of himself when God stepped in and gave him the promise, “and being not weak in Faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb” (Romans 4:19).
He believed the testimony of God and became strong. Being without or having to wait for something ought not cause you to waiver in Faith. Let go and let God, trust him and He will come through for you.
Again, keep talking to yourself and by faith you will receive. Continue to give Glory to God!
There is always some time and space between the promise made by God to you and the possession of that promise and the wait is not always easy or uneventful, but God will see you through.
“For when God made Promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no greater, He swore by Himself, Saying, Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you. And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the Promise.” (Hebrews 6:13-15).
Exercise faith and go the distance with God, He knows what you have done and He will not forget. He knows the evidence of your life, stop trying to prove it to someone who will never believe regardless of what you do.
“God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love.” (Hebrews 6:10).
Abraham did not receive the promise blessing because of his own goodness, and neither will you, but because of the faithfulness of God. This is your guarantee, the certainty of the unchanging Word of God!
“God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man that He should repent: has He said, and shall He not do it? Or has He spoken, and shall He not make it good?” (Numbers 23:19)
