KEEP YOUR IMAGINATIONS IN CHECK.

For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” 2 Cor. 10:3 – 5

Broken hearts leave us susceptible to runaway imaginations. Vulnerable and hurting, our minds can drive us to worst-case scenarios. We must keep our imaginations in check.

The Israelites experienced this situation as they prepared to enter the land that God had promised to them for 400 years. Moses sent in 12 spies to canvas the territory. Two of the spies returned and confirmed that Canaan was definitely a land flowing with milk and honey. They encouraged their fellow Jews to take possession of it because they were “well able to overcome it” (Numbers 13:30).

The other 10 spies verified the beauty and bounty of the land, but their imaginations got the better of them. They proclaimed that the people of the land were like giants, and the Israelites were mere grasshoppers who could not hope to be victorious over them. Imagination won out over their faith.

When we keep our imaginations submitted to God and His Word, no heartbreak exists that is too complicated for God to heal. All things become possible to them that believe. He will answer us with great and mighty things that we do not know (Jeremiah 33:3). Take every thought captive to obey Christ!

LET’S PRAY.
This morning, l pray for you that, Even when your heart is breaking, He has not given you a spirit of fear, but of love, power, and a sound mind. His promises to you are established and true in Jesus name. The power of a seed is not in its size but in the quality of its product. May every small effort of yours always yield multiple results of blessings. Life is not by Grade but by Grace. Not by Labour but by Favour. Not by Merit but by Mercy. May the Grace, Mercy and Favour of God locate you as you step out today. Anyone assigned to stop God’s purpose and promise in your life and children life must perish with all their generations in Jesus mighty name. You and your household shall see the mighty hand of God in your life as from today in Jesus mighty name Amen Amen Amen!
Fountain to your life.

HE KEEPS TRACK OF ALL YOUR SORROWS.

You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book. My enemies will retreat when I call to you for help. This I know: God is on my side.” Psalms 56:8 – 9

How amazing to think of God bending low to collect the tears that slide down our cheeks!

In biblical times, mourners often caught their tears in small, glass bottles before placing them in burial tombs as a sign of their grief. In Civil War times, women collected their tears in bottles until their men returned from battle.

The Holy Spirit through David is saying that despite David’s “wandering” and his attempts to escape from Saul, God knew at all times exactly where he was. Whenever the Believer sets out to carry the Will of God for his life, Satan will do all he can to oppose these efforts. And the Lord allows the Evil One certain latitude in order that we may learn to have Faith and to place our trust exclusively in the Word of God.

Not only does God collect our tears in His bottle, but He also records them in His book. Think about the tears that you have cried: when failure disappointed, death shattered your heart, loss uprooted your life, your child deserted his faith, malicious words wounded. All those tears of grief, frustration, and distress trickled into God’s bottle, and He recorded each shimmering droplet.

Why is God so interested in our tears? In Revelation 21:4, He makes a promise He intends to keep. When we are united in the New Jerusalem, God Himself will wipe every sorrowful tear from our eyes. Because He has kept count, every tear will be wiped away.

In the darkest hour, when no one else sees, your Creator draws near to gently collect and count each tear. One day, He will remember and wipe away every one. Those who sow in tears will reap in joy (Psalm 126:5).

LET’S PRAY.
This morning may you receive grace to take comfort that God will one day wipe all the tears from your eyes. Weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning!
I prophecy into your life! You will not be replaced where you ought to be highly placed. Your seat of glory will not be empty. You will sit gloriously to eat the fruit of your labour. Your land will not fail to bear fruits in its season. You will be fruitful in all your endeavours. When others are counting their blessings, you will not count your fingers. As long as the covenant of day and night remaineth, seed time and harvest time shall not seize, you shall continue sowing and reaping good fruits in Jesus mighty name. No one will stop God purpose in your life in Jesus mighty name. Amen Amen Amen! Fountain!

DESIRE THE HEART OF A LEARNER

Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. May your gracious Spirit lead me forward on a firm footing. For the glory of your name, O Lord, preserve my life. Because of your faithfulness, bring me out of this distress. Psalms 143:10 – 11

As believers, we are enrolled in a continuing education program. We become lifelong learners as God opens His Word and speaks His truth.

We keep learning, growing, and maturing – making ourselves ready for the work that God has for us to do. The Lord will enroll us in classes that challenge and stretch us.

He will teach us to pray. Through problems that we are unable to solve, burdens that we are unable to bear, He will instruct us how to call upon Him so He can show us great and mighty things that we did not know before (Jeremiah 33:3).

He will teach us to give. Every perfect gift that we have in our lives comes from the Father of Lights above (James 1:17). Giving is not extraordinary; it is expected. When we recognize the abundance of His blessings, it will prompt us to give cheerfully and generously.

He will teach us to praise. He will take us to school about the power in praise – how it brings heaven down into the circumstances of earth. When God invades the atmosphere, mountains move, yokes break, and chains fall.

LET’S PRAY
May you grow in the grace and wisdom of our Lord Jesus Christ! May you gain a deeper understanding and revelation as a leaner in His university for over comers and achievers. And may He lead you from glory to glory in Jesus name. Amen Amen Amen! Fountain to your life.

PLANT YOURSELF IN HIS HOUSE

But the godly will flourish like palm trees and grow strong like the cedars of Lebanon. For they are transplanted to the Lord’s own house. They flourish in the courts of our God. Even in old age they will still produce fruit; they will remain vital and green. They will declare, “The Lord is just! He is my rock! There is no evil in him!” Psalm 92:12 – 15

Many today have rejected assembling together with the body of Christ (Hebrews 10:25). They have been wounded by this imperfect collection of people that are the family of God.

Throughout His Word, though, God encourages us to plant ourselves in His house. In the Old Testament, His glory rested atop the mercy seat, and He met with His people in the unsurpassed beauty of Solomon’s Temple.

In the New Testament, the bodies of His believers became His temple. The newly-formed church in Acts met together every day – sharing all their resources, encouraging one another with songs and scriptures, and building up one another in their fledgling faith.

Today, God continues to work in and through His church. Only arrogance presumes to say that we do not need one another. No one person can comprehend all God’s truth. No one person possesses the ability or gifts to reach everyone in this wide world.

Each one of us is a lively stone in the house He is building. We must take our place in His body so that together, we can accomplish all of His purposes. Plant yourself in His house. Put down deep roots. Intertwine your heart with those who fervently love Him. Planted together, we will bear fruit.

LET’S PRAY.
As you submit to His Word and worship with the family of God, may you be built up in holy faith in the name of Jesus. I thank God over your life and your family this morning that you see another day. This day will not waste your life in Jesus name. God shall withdraw the control of your life from the hands and domination of household wickedness, in the name of Jesus Christ. May God bless you and keep you throughout the day and be gracious to you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen Amen Amen! Fountain to your life.

TRUST IN THE LORD.

Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say rejoice.” Philippians 4:4

Whenever we look in the Bible, we read words that sometimes have different meanings. Often times we quote this verse in the context of good times. But what was Paul going through when he penned this verse?

We are to rejoice always not for all things, but in all things. Paul’s teaching on emotional well-being which follows, begins with rejoicing in the Lord.

During these times of chaos and confusion, l want to encourage you to exercise faith over fear. Our God is an awesome God, who is able to meet your every need…for nothing is impossible for Him.

In a time where we are surrounded by fear, let’s exercise our faith and know that God is on His throne and everything is going to be alright.

While we understand that we are living in challenging times, we know that God’s Word remains true. It is a beacon of light in the darkness. When you open God’s Word and read the promises found within this precious book, it calms the raging storm. While being a Christian doesn’t mean that we will not see storms, it does mean that Someone is walking next to us until we reach the other side. Have absolute confidence that the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob will see us through the storm. The God we serve is the Master of this storm.

LET’S PRAY.
I pray Psalm 20 over you for today is your victory over this turbulent times.
The Lord knows everything about us also the battles we go through along with all the various hardships. When the time is right, and we have endured with our faith intact and still living with integrity, he will give us the victory. And as Jesus showcased his victory at the CROSS in front of the enemy and humiliated them, he will do the same for you. He will make the effort to prepare a table suitable for a royal heir in front of your enemies so they can see how well it is with you. Any shame, discomfort, pain, sorrow, depression, worries, frustration, anger, sadness,…….and so on is gone ever. Everything that was is gone ever. God is so proud of your achievements, that he will throw you a grand party to celebrate you for everyone to see. And he will top it by anointing your head with oil, which represents separation and gladness. Your portion is joy. It’s also a way to make a statement, and again showcase that you have a calling upon your life, that you’ve got God’s approval, acceptance and his favor and mercy. You can trust that He will stand by you always. You are blessed with your family for the raisen Lord Jesus and is alive forever. Amen Amen Amen! Fountain to your life.

ABIDE IN HIS PEACE.

“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

This world can discourage and dissuade us from being the people that God created us to be. In our key verse, Jesus encourages us to “be of good cheer” – to take courage, to be undaunted, even filled with joy!

We have all compared our lives to those picture-perfect social media families and realized that we do not measure up. Our families are imperfect, fractured, and dysfunctional. Well, take courage! We stand in good company.

God does not discount imperfect families. In fact, He has a long history of using very imperfect fathers, mothers, and children to bring about His ultimate plans for good.

He is the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Judah. Abraham fathered a child with the “other woman” – flawed. Isaac and Rebekah played favorites and created a family rift that lasted for decades – flawed. Jacob’s eleven sons ganged up on their young brother and sold him into slavery – flawed. Judah slept with his daughter-in-law because he thought she was a prostitute – flawed.

All broken down and messed up, but through the lineage of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Judah comes the very Son of God. So, be encouraged! A perfect God will take what the enemy intended for evil in your family and turn it to great good when you submit your all to Him.

LET’S PRAY.
May the Word of God be planted in the broken ground of your family to produce a future harvest much greater than any pain in your past. There is No Door that Mercy of God Cannot Open, It Opened Bartimaeus blind Eyes, Opened Elizabeth’s barren Womb, Opened the Red Sea for the Israellites and Terminated 430 Years of Slavery. As you Rise up this Day, all Angels of Help and Mercy shall Rise up and Work for You. Every Door of Blessings, Joy, Happiness, Prosperity, Salvation and every good thing shut against you shall be Opened for You in Jesus mighty name. Your life will attract Mercy and Favour in Jesus Name. Whatever and whoever is against your breakthroughs shall see the judgment of God in Jesus mighty name. Amen Amen Amen! Fountain to your life.

LOVE YOUR ENEMIES.

But to you who are willing to listen, I say, love your enemies! Do good to those who hate you. Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who hurt you. If someone slaps you on one cheek, offer the other cheek also. If someone demands your coat, offer your shirt also. Give to anyone who asks; and when things are taken away from you, don’t try to get them back. Do to others as you would like them to do to you. “If you love only those who love you, why should you get credit for that? Even sinners love those who love them! And if you do good only to those who do good to you, why should you get credit? Even sinners do that much!” Luke 6:27-33

Most churches would have welcomed the Pharisees. After all, they tithed up to 30% of their income, knew the Scriptures backwards and forwards, fasted twice a week, and were very religious.

They were also mean-spirited, stingy, and self-righteous. They twisted the Scriptures – tested and questioned Jesus. They prayed loudly in the streets, so others would be impressed with their piety. They moped pitifully when they fasted, so people would admire their self-deprivation and discipline.

Jesus saw through their religious façade, and they hated Him for it. However, Jesus said that even the Pharisees – deceptive hypocrites they were – loved those who loved them. And He challenges us today: if we only love those who are kindly disposed towards us, what credit is that to us?

The true test of love is when we are the first to forgive, when we seek to be reconciled to an enemy, when we do good to those that deceive and use us, when we lend to the needy with no expectation of return, when we treat others the way we wish to be treated. Jesus promises a wonderful reward when we act like our generous Father Who shows us how to be kind to the ungrateful and wicked (Luke 6:35).

LET’S
O Lord, let Your grace remind us that, Jesus paid the price for us to be forgiven. I pray may the Holy Spirit fill you with His power to forgive others. May your relationships be restored in the mighty name of Jesus.
Get ready; peace is coming, favor is coming, victory is coming. You’re going to see God override what’s trying to stop you. There’s no storm too strong that He can’t calm. No giant too big that He can’t defeat. No fire too hot that He can’t step into and bring you out.
No river too deep that He can’t cross. No Mountain too high that He can’t clamp, so I declare into your life this morning, go and overcome your storm, defeat your giant, cross your fire and rivers, you are the top of that mountain in Jesus mighty name. You are Overcomer, your enemies will celebrate your success story in Jesus glorious name. Amen Amen Amen! Fountain to your life.

YOU’RE A CARRIER OF THE MESSAGE OF RECONCILIATION

This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! And all of this is a gift from God, who brought us back to himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of reconciling people to him. For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.” 2 Corinthians 5:17-19

Many of us have been abandoned, betrayed or abused. Actions taken against us left scars on our souls, continual anger or deep bitterness. Those offenses destroyed our peace of mind.

We have a Saviour that we abandoned. We deserted our faith to chase after lesser things. We wounded Him and heaped up injustices against Him. Still, He emptied Himself of all heavenly royalty and humbled Himself to the point of death on the cross even while we were still sinners.

When we approached Him to plead for forgiveness, He opened up His arms and poured out grace. He reconciled us to God. He chose forgiveness, washed away the sins of the past, and refused to remember them anymore.

He gave us the ministry of reconciliation. He healed our vertical relationship with the Father, so we can show others the way back to Him. Through Christ, our horizontal relationships with others can be healed too.

He gives us the ability to forgive, the power to rise up and walk away free. He breaks the strangleholds of anger and bitterness. He alone brings the hope and healing, the reconciliation and restoration, the freedom and a future. He ministered reconciliation and charges us to do the same.

LET’S PRAY.
May the Lord God Almighty, Who reconciled you to Himself, give you power to pour out grace to those who have offended you. May you forgive with the same generosity He forgave you. I rebuke every refuge of sickness in your life, and I cast them into the bottomless pit in Jesus mighty name. Any power holding your joy, happiness and success today I rebuke that powers and I cast them into the bottomless pit in Jesus mighty name.
I pray this weekend shall be the best weekend you ever have in your life, your mouth shall be full with testimonies in Jesus mighty name, Amen Amen Amen! Fountain to your life.

GOD’S PRESCRIPTION.

Rejoice in the Lord always; and again l say, Rejoice. Phil. 4:4

Paul here gives his teaching on emotional well being.

It is:
1. Rejoice in the Lord always”: This means that in our heart of hearts there is to be a continuous praise to the Lord, because He has done so much for us. He didn’t say here that we should rejoice only when things go well, but “always.” That means we should rejoice, even when we don’t feel like rejoicing.

2. “Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand”: The idea is, we aren’t greedily grasping after things. Why not? The Rapture will soon take place. In the light of eternity, that is literally true.

3. “Be careful for nothing”: This simply means, “Don’t worry about anything.”

4. “But in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known unto God”: The cure for worry is believing prayer. “Supplication” refers to telling the Lord what we need and then “thanksgiving” for all He has done for us. When we make our request known to the Lord, we are talking to Someone Who is able to do all things. When we seek the help that men can give, we then get the help that they can give, which is mostly nothing. When we seek help that God can give, He can do all things.

5. “The Peace of God shall keep us”: This is Sanctifying Peace,” which can come to the Believer only as the Believer places his or her faith exclusively in Christ and the Cross. When we have a peace which “passes all understanding” which means that it is “beyond the pale of human comprehension.”

If we do this which the Holy Spirit here through Apostle Paul is telling us to do, it will “keep our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” As Christ is the Source, while the Cross is the means.

6. Finally, he tells us that we should think on things which are “true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of a good report, virtue and if there be any praise, think on these things.”

All of these things can be done, providing the Cross is the Object of our Faith, which then gives the Holy Spirit latitude to help us, without Whose help nothing can be done.
These exhortations are God’s prescription, as stated for emotional well-being.

LET’S PRAY.
This morning, may you be filled with unspeakable joy such that everyone that comes in contact with you shall be infected and would want to know about the God you serve in Jesus’ glorious name. May your joy bring help and healing to those around you in Jesus name. Amen Amen Amen. Fountain to your life.
