His Grace n Power

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
2 Corinthians 12:9

Sometimes God let's us go through certain situations or affliction just to remind us who is in charge and to make us humble. Like Paul, we should be glad in our weakness because we know God's undeserved grace is forever sufficient for us and His power gives us strength.

The Builder

For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.
Hebrews 3:4

We may physically build or plan our lives, be it our business, family, relationships, etc but at the end of the day, everything is in God's hands, He is the one that build all things and builds it perfectly.
Instead of living our lives by trial and error on what we think is best, we can let the one (God) with the blue print take control.

God of Peace

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Romans 15:13

In this trying world we live in, the only one who can give us peace even in trying times is God. All we have to do is believe n trust in Him. He is the only one who can calm our storms. Give reign of your life to Him.

See and Ear!

Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not.
Isaiah 42:20

Sometimes we are blind and deaf like the Israelites; be it to The Word of God, His warnings and sometimes we don't even acknowledge His blessings.
The fastest way to missing the road is turning a deaf ear to God cos even when He tries to seek us out, we will be long gone. So we should constantly check ourselves and make sure, we are constantly tuned to Him.

He that hath eyes let him see and he that hath ears let him ear!

Give

There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet but it tendeth to poverty.
Proverbs 11:24

There's a saying in my place, The hand of he that gives is always above and he that receives is always below.
Our relationship with God shouldn't be only about receiving. We also can give not only material things but also our time, and other resources to help in the growth of the kingdom.
We don't have to give for the sake of receiving, our intention towards giving also matters.

To he that much is given, much is expected. The more we give, the more we receive.

He forgives

Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.
Micah 7:18

God always forgives us, regardless of the size or the colour of our sins.
God never stay angry with us which gives us the confidence to always go back to Him when we have done things wrongly n He's ever ready to hear us.
His anger is but a moment but His Favour n Mercy last a lifetime.

Love your enemies

But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,

Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
Luke 6:27-28

I think the most difficult commandment to keep is loving our enemies. How can u love someone who despises u, someone who wishes u no good, someone who is waiting for your failure. It's just plain difficult.
But we are not only called to love them, but also to bless and pray for them. We will be shocked at how much our love and prayer will change them with time.

Bless them that curse you n love them that hate u.

His Kindness

But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
1 Peter 5:10

God's undeserved kindness to all is the reason why He appointed His son to die for us. Many are called but few are chosen, and it's a privilege to be among the chosen ones. Now, He didn't promise us a problem free life, but He will make us complete, steady, strong and firm.
His Grace is forever sufficient for us.
Why don't we share this kindness with others today.

Sing Praises ALWAYS

The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.
Exodus 15:2

After crossing the red sea, the Israelites were seen praising God (1-18) in the sane chapter at marah (24) they were seen complaining.
Sometimes we are just like them, we praise God for the good and complain for the bad. This shouldn't be, In the good and bad, we should always praise the Lord.

Bless The Lord O my soul, all that is within me praise Him forever more.

Listen and dwell on the lyrics of "Blessed be your name" by "Tree"

By His Grace

And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.

But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant..........
Deuteronomy 8:17-18a

Though we achieve certain things through our hard work, we should always remember it's by God's grace and not our doing. We can toil day and night but if God does not bless our hand work, then it's vain.

Give Him all the glory He's worthy of, cos He makes all things right in His time.

Power of the Tongue

For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
James 3:2

The mouth(tongue) is the most powerful part of the body. It can make, it can break and it can destroy. It can pray and it can curse.

There is no perfect man but we can work towards perfection by controlling our tongue.
We can proclaim positive things into our lives n other's.

Tongue is your handy weapon, use it positively.

Commit your works n plans

Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.
Proverbs 16:3

Sometimes we worry about the future, if things will go as we plan or imagine. If we commit our works n plans into God's hands, His Will will become ours and with patience, in His own time all our thoughts shall be established.

Don't worry, Just commit to Him!

Peacemakers

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Matthew 5:9

It's difficult to make peace with those that ain't worth it or who aren't even willing to let things go, But Christ has classified us as peacemakers, so to live up to being children of God, we should always make peace with mankind whether it suits us or not.

Mercy and Truth

Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
Proverbs 3:3

As children of God, we should be known as people who stand for truth always, in favourable situations n un-favourable ones, regardless of what friends expect of us.

Though it's difficult to be kind and forgiving to those who have treated us badly, God is expecting this of us.

He will give us the grace to have mercy on those that are not even worthy of it cos once, we were in their position and He will help us to stand for truth always.
