Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.” John 19:22
When Pilate was asked to rewrite what he had written on the cross about Jesus he refused and defiantly stated that it is irreversible.
Do you know what God has purposed about you can not be cancelled.?.
He told Jeremiah that he knew him before he was formed in his Mother’s womb and subsequently guided Jeremiah to fulfill his purpose in life.
God who is the Alpha and Omega has written down your purposeful life even before you were born.
Know today that the enemy cannot rewrite your life no matter what you are going through.
Stay faithful it’s all going to add up.
Yes Joseph started with his dreams and as events unfolded it appeared his life has been rewritten but God who says HE has stretched out His hand of purpose on Joseph surely fulfilled his dreams.
No matter what story your life is telling now know that the purpose of God will triumph in your life. Stay true to your purpose in life.
Jesus Christ the same Yesterday Today and Forever will surely bring it to pass. Don’t give up on yourself.
His thoughts towards you are thoughts of peace to bring you to your expected end .
Don’t say negative things about yourself and what God has written about you can not be rewritten.

Would you have blamed Thomas for missing the first meeting where Jesus appeared ?
“But Thomas, one of the Twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came.”John 20:24
Jesus did not blame Thomas for not been at his first appearance to the disciples and their was no record that the other disciples did.
You may say that God is all knowing that’s why He did not blame him.
Here we see a rare example of of understanding and tolerance.
Today Pastors ,leaders blame others for missing meeting. In fact some Pastors would have publicly castigated Thomas and set up a committee to investigate why he missed the meeting and come up with recommendations of sanctions to give him.
The example of our Lord showed understanding and love even when Thomas doubted HE still lovingly proved Himself to him and Blessings flowed from that encounter to generations of believers till today.
How do you respond to other believer that appears weak ?
Please strengthen them.
Go all the way like Jesus did to allay all their fears and doubts
If someone is absent at a crucial meeting let’s lovingly reach out and impact the blessings on them.
Don’t play the blame and judging game. Reach out and be there for that person

“As Paul talked about righteousness, self-control and the judgment to come, Felix was afraid and said, “That’s enough for now! You may leave. “Acts 24:25
Each time you speak what impact does your conversation have on others?
In the above scriptures Paul was speaking to Felix who wanted to hear him. The content of his conversation had effects on the listener.
What effects do your own conversation have on your listeners?
“Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.” Psalm 50:23
We can see from the life of Paul that when he speaks the contents of his speech was rich and always had impact.
Of course he was following Jesus Christ’s example.
What’s in your conversation?
Does it even have content? Sometimes we open our mouth just to speak and just compete with the other speakers.
Let us always think before we speak.
Let your conversation be rich and meaningful so that it can have the desired impact. Don’t just speak for the sake of speaking.
Sometimes silence is Golden.
When you speak from your “heart” does such project you as a child of God?
Let’s watch our conversation and let it have meaningful content that will have results that blesses the hearers and much more Glorify God.

In Christianity we have always used the phrase of waiting on God to mean knowing God’s truth on any issue we need clarification on.
The truth is God has all day been waiting on us to know Him more and walk within the purpose of our lives.
We sometimes struggle with impatience because we want to act right now.
We are used to reacting to issues based on our five senses.
Knowing the truth about any matter requires a consistent relationship with God not just on what we cannot immediately figure out but walking and working with Him in all that we do.
“Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.”Ephesians 3:20
From the above scripture there is a clear responsibility from us to ask or think before He will do more.
You must use your imagination to shape your desires on the subject matter.
Think it true thoroughly. Like Abraham see the abundance beyond the stars.
It’s not like lottery where you can scramble any number and expect to win. Relationship with God is not guesswork.
So if you don’t ask or think and you go to Him blank that means you get zero.
Don’t come to God without searching the scriptures that surrounds what you are asking Him to direct you on. Relationship built on His Word is the most secured guaranteed guidance you can get on any issue.
That’s why truly it’s those that wait upon the Lord with relevant scriptures that guide their asking or thinking that gets assured guidance,renew their strength, mount up,soar high above those challenges and emerge victorious.
Yes you are waiting on God but how?

Many that live in urban cities are familiar with either the Police or Construction tapes with clear warning “Do Not Cross “. Such could mean it’s a crime scene or active work is going on and would be dangerous for you to just step in anyhow. Most of us respect that caution and keep away.
How do you take the “Do Not Cross the Line ” that God put across your path daily ?
Do not touch that man ,he is not your husband or the woman that is not your wife. It’s an old law you said? Just like the Police or construction don’ts are to keep you away from danger. So also God’s Do Not are for your Best interests.
It has consequences that will take away from your destiny when you ignore the warning signs and cross. Don’t steal. Don’t lie. Don’t eat… etc are all designed by God who created you and the earth that you live in.
Trust and Obey Him when He say’s Don’t.
Much more Jesus Christ shed His Precious Blood to protect you and His Blood keeps you covered.
The enemy CANNOT cross that Bloodline of Jesus to get to you but It entices you to willingly step out of that protection by you crossing the line.
All the Don’ts that God has told you are not punishment or old fashioned they are helpers of your destiny.
Today don’t cross the line of what God has told you not to and you will see the abundance blessings of true obedience.
Remember that Hymn ” Trust and obey, for there’s no other way. To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey. Not a shadow can rise, not a .— “
Do Not Cross that Line .

Amongst outstanding stories in the Bible are the stories about the Shepherds heralding the news about the birth of the savior. Christmas story always involves the shepherds and their encounter with the angels. They went immediately Proclaiming the Good News they just heard.
There are many stories about lepers in the Bible but one of the outstanding ones are those lepers locked outside the city gate of Samaria during the siege which led to serious famine.
Unlike the shepherds who saw the spectacular in form of the angelic appearance the lepers were compelled by their circumstances of starvation to explore.
Both groups experienced the Good News which they could not keep to themselves and made the Proclamations which brought joy and turnaround to people.
Whatever way we have gotten to know the Good News of the Kingdom of God we must share it with others so they can be made better.
Don’t shut your mouth. Make the Proclamation that you know.
Whether your testimony is like that of the shepherds or you went through a process of self discovery like the lepers open your mouth and share the Good News to mankind by your life.
God reveals Himself to us in diverse manners. Once you know the truth live it out and share it.
Many may have never read the Bible before meeting you. You are the written Bible that those who encounter you will see and come to a decision.
Whatever your experience has been between the shepherds and the lepers please Proclaim the Good news.
