Fear not.
“Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.” Matt. 10:31 (KJV).
Are you experiencing dark times?
Wondering What will happen next?
Whatever happens in your life:
God is aware of it.
He even knows what is going to happen next.
God cares for everything.
He cares for the animals, the plants, and even for you.
What is extraordinary is that He cares far more for you than He cares for the animals or plants.
“Fear not!” is the most repeated command in the Bible.
In fact, it’s been said that there are 366 “Fear not” in the Bible
One “Fear not” for every day of the year!
Including the leap year.!!
If you do what you need to do, you do not have to be worried or be afraid about anything.
God will guide you so that the end will be good.
Be reminded, “Fear not”…
Trust God’s loving presence.
You are not alone.
He Daily watches over You.
Application to the Christian life:
Trust God.
Daily allow Him to guide you.
Fear no man.

Find your rest in Jesus.

In thy name done many wonderful works?
“Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” Matt. 7:22(KJV).
How do you talk to your friends when you tell them about Jesus?
Do you want them to see how much you know?
Do you want them to see what a wonderful person you are?
Don’t get carried away with your wonderful works.
Are you doing them according to God’s command?
What is your motive for doing them?
“Then he said to them, “You like to appear righteous in public, but God knows your hearts. What this world honors is detestable in the sight of God.”
Luke 16:15(NLT)
It is not your Wonderful works that God sees.
God expects obedience.
He expects us to follow Him.
God told Moses to talk to the rock to give water.
Moses was upset because of the people’s behavior.
He hit the rock.
Did the water come out?
Yes.
Was he obedient?
Did he do it the way God told him to do it?
No. ( Numbers 20:12. KJV).
The result was according to the word of God.
However, Moses never entered the promised land.
Jesus obeyed God in all things.
Jesus sought to please God in all His works.
Don’t do stuff to please impress and please people.
Let your wonderful works come from God.
Follow Jesus, the Author, and Finisher of our Faith.
Application to the Christian life:
Daily.
Serve God with a pure heart.
Let the Holy Spirit guide you.

He has risen, just as He said!
“He is not here; He has risen, just as He said! Come, see the place where He lay.” Matthew 28:6(NIV)
Right from creation, everything happened, just as He said.
God said let there be in Genesis 1, and it has been so till today.
In the scriptures, God has taught us in so many ways that we have to say what we believe in our hearts, and we see it come to pass.
It’s significant to remember in this season of celebrating the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus that this Resurrection happened :
He has risen, just as He said!
What are you saying today, Especially about your destiny?
Jesus spoke about what His purpose in life was about.
At every point, He confessed what HIS Father had said about Him.
Again the great takeaway from the just-concluded Easter season is:
It all happened as HE said it would.
Say words that are in line with your purpose in life.
No matter the challenges you face.
Say only His words that line up with your life.
Never speak negatively about your purpose in life.
Make positive confessions at all times.
Remember the Shunammite woman? (2Kings 4)
She experienced the Resurrection of her son.
Jesus, Himself said positive words about the dead Lazarus.
He was brought back to life.
Whatever appeared dead in your situation, speak life to it in Jesus’s name.
The path to the cross was filled with purposeful challenges.
At each point, Jesus spoke precisely what was required.
During the temptation:
He told satan that man shall not live by bread alone but by the word of God.
He emphasized and encouraged us to speak to our destiny.
No matter the area of your life, look for the word of God and say it over the situation.
In healing, say By His stripes, you are healed.
He wishes above all that you are healthy and prosperous.
That’s what you should always say to yourself.

Public Display
“Instead, I sometimes think God has put us, apostles, on display, like prisoners of war at the end of a victor’s parade, condemned to die. We have become a spectacle to the entire world-to people and angels alike.” 1 Corinthians 4:9 (NLT)
Today being Good Friday, we remember God’s public display of His only Son to show He fully paid the total redemption price.
Through the Cross, we are restored back to God.
Have you been to that place of the display where your life is publicly displayed by the Cross you have to carry?.
If you bear your own Cross as ordained by God, like Christ, you can identify with the display Apostle Paul talks about.
We are sometimes in situations where what seems to be our private life is publicly displayed for all to see.
Have you had circumstances beyond your control ?.
Everything is being played out like a script?
Jesus prayed before the crucifixion at the garden of Gethsemane that He wished the Cross to pass over Him but nevertheless, God’s perfect will be done.
We all go through phases of our lives that we wish could be otherwise.
Still, as we continue in the perfect will of God, sometimes God chooses to display us as examples of crucified lives so that others can be drawn to the Kingdom of God by our testimonies and victorious life.
Examine yourself that your Cross is not self-inflicted, and be open to the Holy Spirit to correct you.
Be encouraged today as you carry your Cross faithfully.
Don’t be ashamed.
Jesus, our perfect example, Resurrected and the Cross is empty.
You also will overcome and be triumphant.
Good Friday was a public display that ended as God Purposed it.
So also is yours.

Where will you find help?
“And the asses of Kish Saul’s father were lost. And Kish said to Saul, his son, Take now one of the servants with thee, and arise, go seek the asses.”
“And he said unto him, Behold now, there is in this city a man of God, and he is an honourable man; all that he saith cometh surely to pass: now let us go thither; peradventure he can shew us our way that we should go.”
“Then said Saul to his servant, Well said; come, let us go. So they went unto the city where the man of God was.” 1 Sam. 9:3,6,10.(KJV).
Saul was in trouble.
The asses of his father were lost.
Saul could not find them.
His servant suggested they go to the prophet, the man of God.
Did you also lose your possessions?
What will you do if you are in trouble?
Saul’s servant pointed him to God.
Where are you directing people to seek help?
Will you also make the wise decision to go to God?
“Jesus explained, “I am the Way, I am the Truth, and I am the Life. No one comes next to the Father except through union with me. To know me is to know my Father too.” John 14:6 TPT
The question is, what is your most valuable possession?
Will it not be your eternal Life?
Where will you go to find protection for your most valuable possession?
God can help with everything.
He helps in our daily Life.
He also helps us find the Way to eternal Life with Him.
Saul did not go to other people.
He went to the man of God.
Where do you go for help?
Do you go to your friends or to God?
Application to the Christian Life:
Go to God when you are in need.
Go to God when you want to reach the Kingdom of God.
Go to God with everything.
Trust Him.
Follow Him.
