About to make a big decision!


If i was to give a subtitle to this it would be ( making decisions God's way)

In the last couple of months, i have been on the verge of making a very big decision in my life. I have constantly mentioned this to God, asking Him to lead me. I knew i would not lead myself and so i had to lean on to God's understanding.
So many times when you are just about to make a very big decision, there will be two voices speaking in you. Your voice and God's voice. The enemy may take advantage of your own voice especially when God is leading you to your place of destiny and purpose. He ( the enemy ) is so afraid of who you are in Christ and he will do anything to lead you astray.

What i have learnt in this season:

  • God is not the author of confusion 
  • Make a decision ( the enemy would want you remain stuck without making a decision )
  • Test every spirit ( the enemy would still use scripture to tempt you )
  • Know your weaknesses and strengths
  • Accountability ( get someone you trust to walk and pray with you)
  • Pray, read the word and be honest with God ( have a relationship with Him)
The key to know the difference between  the truth and a lie is remaining in fellowship with Christ. God will surely reveal the truth to you if only you remain in Him.He will do it in His time and with whoever and however , and so expect from every side!

 But the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie—just as it has taught you, abide in him
1 John 2:27 

Sometimes you may be tempted to lean on to your own understanding and ignore the voice of God ( that still small voice ) but i encourage you today, although you may feel dirty after being tempted, you should remember that temptation itself is not sin. We sin when we give in and disobey God.
We are tested when we are most vulnerable i.e weighing big decisions, faced with uncertainty, lonely, tired and also through  our strengths where pride may exist.


No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it
1 John 10:13
Glory to God , He will always provide a way of escape, #escape from the enemy's hands!
  
Lets learn from our BIG brother, Jesus!
When He was tempted in the wilderness by Satan. He was tempted on three things :
  • Physical needs and desires ( Matthew 4:4)
  • Possessions and power ( Matthew 4:6)
  • Worship ( Matthew 4:9)  
Jesus Christ overcame through knowing and obeying the word. 
It is always important to ask God to help you understand scripture so that you do not make assumptions of what God is saying to you, in this critical moment.Remember the enemy can still use scripture to speak to you.

Be patient before the Lord,
Wait patiently!
 But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world
1 John 4:4


With love,
Bernice

What does it mean to be content ?

I will go straight to the topic…. Contentment defined is a state of happiness and satisfaction. Recently the Lord has been impressing in my heart so much on this. And it comes at a time when I am trusting God to do so much in my life. So many people believe ( I have also found myself in that state sometimes ) that if only God bless me with a car, with a house, a better job, a wife , a husband , school fees,even that which is in your mind, then will they be happy. When you cross over to the other side you will discover that none of these will ever give complete joy and satisfaction. I have come to know that even in the season of waiting and in the storm you can still find happiness and satisfaction. The word of God tells us that in all circumstances we should give thanks. Give thanks in every circumstance, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. (1Thesalonians 5:18) . In thanksgiving I have found happiness and satisfaction. As I give thanks I discover how...

Never missed a day

Hey, Sorry for taking long to post, always from heart, i intend to do this with sincerity and from the depth of my heart. I have been in a season where God has been taking me back to the basics. This is one of the lessons i have learnt ; The other day during my usual morning prayers i began by thanking God for the gift of life and  the gift of a new day. What i thought to be a usual morning prayer turned out to be something even more beautiful.The Lord began to impress in my heart, the importance or the weight of living in a day, haha, if there is any phrase like that 'living in a day' Everyday we rise, shows God's faithfulness and the beauty in His word.Each day is evidence that the word of God has never failed.When you see the sun and the moon, when you look up and see the skies, day and night, this is all the word of God being made manifest.   And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.   And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divi...
