DO YOU NEED THE POWER OF GOD?

Do you want to experience the power of God? then you must begin to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ today. 1Corinthians 1:18 says, "For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God." 
Yes, People may laugh at you and tell how stupid you are, but the truth of the fact is that, the more you preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the more power you have.
When Jesus says in Luke 10:19, "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you." If you just sit down in your house, where do you expect to see the serpents and scorpions for you to exercise the power over them, or do you always expect them to come to your house?
This power is real, just begin to reach out to people today, and you'll see the resurrection power operating in your life, and every dead thing in you will rise and live, because you are blessed already.
Jesus loves you and I do too. 


ARE WE ACTUALLY OBEYING HIM?

Are all believers actually doing what they suppose to do? Jesus did not tell the world, "Go ye into all the Churches to hear the Gospel, but he said to the Church, "Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature," Mark 16:15.
Thus, as you worship God today in your various churches, don't only ask for his blessings, but ask for the power to witness. Then begin to share God's love and the message of salvation with people today. Even the ignorant ones that always say they don't need these Godly messages, continue to let them know that Jesus loves them, because Jesus said that what brings joy in heaven is only when one wretched sinner is saved.
Therefore, as you are expecting to receive God's blessings today, understand that Jesus is also expecting you to reach out to people. Obey him today, and he will certainly bless you.
Jesus loves you and I do too.

WHAT ARE YOU HIDING?

Honestly speaking, almost everybody is hiding something from somebody.
The husband is hiding something from his wife, the wife is hiding certain things she wouldn't like her husband to know about, and the children are hiding something they don't want their parents to know about, and consequently, there is confusion and trouble in the family when those things are discovered, because there is nothing covered under the sun that will not be revealed, neither hid, that will not be known, Matthew 10:26, Luke 12:2.
But if at all you must hide something, what exactly can you hide? Psalm 119:11 says, "Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee."
If you can hide the word of God in your heart today, the devil cannot penetrate into your family, and I'm sure your family will not break apart, also, there will be no limit to your success.
Jesus loves you and I do too.

TAKING OUT THE TRASH

Who wants to live with yesterday's rubble? Who wants to hoard the trash of the past? You don’t, do you Certainly not.
I’m not talking about the trash in your house, but the ones in your heart. Not the junk of papers and boxes, but the remnants of anger, hatred, hurt and unforgiveness. Do you rat-pack your pain, and Amass offenses? Record slights?
A tour of your heart might be telling. A pile of rejections. Accumulated insults. No one can blame you. They’re innocence takers, promise breakers, and wound makers. They’re everywhere and you’ve had your share.
Jesus answered Peter’s question in Matthew 18:21 and 22 when he asked: “Lord, how often should I forgive someone who sins against me? Seven times?” “No, not seven times,” Jesus said. “Seventy times seven!”
Do you want to give every day a chance? Jesus says to get rid of the trash. Give the grace you’ve been given! Take out your trash today and live in a clean home. Forgive, and let your heart be pure.
