The glory of Christ, the Image of God

 2 Corinthians 4:4

English Standard Version

4 In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

Command the morning

 ”“Have you commanded the morning since your days began, and caused the dawn to know its place,“

‭‭Job‬ ‭38‬:‭12‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Means the morning and the evening are persons we can command.

Hope in the Lord!

 ”Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love, that he may deliver their soul from death and keep them alive in famine. Our soul waits for the Lord; he is our help and our shield. For our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name. Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in you.“

‭‭Psalm‬ ‭33‬:‭18‬-‭22‬ ‭ESV

Go where you find peace

 ”Live here as a foreigner in this land, and I will be with you and bless you. I hereby confirm that I will give all these lands to you and your descendants, just as I solemnly promised Abraham, your father. Isaac’s men then dug another well, but again there was a dispute over it. So Isaac named it Sitnah (which means “hostility”). Abandoning that one, Isaac moved on and dug another well. This time there was no dispute over it, so Isaac named the place Rehoboth (which means “open space”), for he said, “At last the Lord has created enough space for us to prosper in this land.”“

‭‭Genesis‬ ‭26‬:‭3‬, ‭21‬-‭22‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Isaac, Abraham’s seed,the devil filled up his wells with dirt (fleshly or earthly stuff pursuits), stopped the flow of fresh water (rhema word). 

He moved from one well to another (one ministry to another? One church to another, one pastor to another? One job to another? One business to another? ) till he finds a place where there is peace/prosperity, no contention, no unrest. 

Note: even in the same foreign land, there are different geographical locations. There is a place where there is no strive, therefore prosperity flows. 

Go where you are celebrated (welcome), not where you don’t belong. 

He called it open space, we call it open heaven/upper room).  Hence prosperity flows.

Have an attitude like Job

God loves Job a lot, although Job didn't know why he was suffering real bad, he did not deny God nor curse God and die. I think he knew that God might have allowed things to happen to him. So he kept a good attitude throughout. In the end, Job passed his test and everything that he had lost was restored double.

If we are still going through some challenges, know this, keep our relationship with Father closer. Don't run away from the One who can do anything for us and through us.

Always know this, the devil cannot touch us unless God has allowed it. So let's pass the test quickly! We don't want to spend even a night in the wilderness (no not 40years!)!

Right hand of God

Psalm 16:11 KJV

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: In thy presence is fulness of joy; At thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

1 Peter 3:22 KJV
Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

The phrase “pleasures for evermore” in Psalm 16:11 refers to the joys that come from being in God’s presence. These pleasures are eternal because they are not temporary or fleeting, but rather enduring and everlasting. The pleasures that come from God are not like the pleasures of this world, which are often selfish, temporal, short-lived, and unsatisfying. Instead, the pleasures that come from God are pure, wholesome, peaceful and fulfilling. They are the kind of pleasures that satisfy the heart and soul and bring true joy.

 Matthew 18:19

Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.

Someone won the first prize in a Christmas party lucky draw.   And Mary informed the group that before the event she told Jane that Jane would win the first prize.   And true enough Jane won the first prize!

Later Mary informed the group of what happened saying that the Lord of gifts wanted to bestow upon Jane that first prize that day. 

I noticed that Mary would have said that in front of Jane earlier and Jane would have agreed with what Mary said.   So based on the above principle, Jane would be able to win the first prize!  

What we learned from this principle is that we need another to agree with us on anything that we desire and it would be done for us.   Simple as that.   For good or for the bad as well.  So be very mindful of what we agree with another.  Be it the doctor or the pastor, or our spouse or our friend.  

Our God is a generous God

 “Wisdom is a gift from a generous God, and every word he speaks is full of revelation and becomes a fountain of understanding within you. 

When wisdom wins your heart and revelation breaks in, true pleasure enters your soul.”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭2‬:‭6‬, ‭10‬ ‭TPT

A Prayer for you

I pray this season of your life become much better and better each day from today onwards … whatever you’re going through He is walking with you and guiding you through it and that you will walk out of it into a very pleasant place full of joy and happiness and blessings soon … cast your burdens to Him everytime you feel the burden in your heart … for He wants to be your burden bearer each moment… Jesus loves you very much … He died to give you heaven on earth … as well as the heavens too … you’re most beloved to Him…

Mark our Words

Mark 11
23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

 

Proverbs 18

21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

 

 

A few of my friends have experienced this, they told me that they have never won lucky draws before.   Then I suggested, why not you say that you will win this lucky draw.   And true enough it happened.   They were so joyful, and of course they enjoyed the prizes and didn't think of sharing with me.   Haha.     

 

Recently someone showed me her blessed draw ticket, and I just said to her, "Today, you win a prize, ok?"   and there were only 20 prizes for a group of about 200 people.   And she won  the last 3 drawn prize! That is, she won the third prize.  She was so happy!   And she thanked me and told me that she had never won any lucky draw prizes before!  So I asked her to start saying all the good things, and start enjoying them!   

 

Not many of us remember to do that, not many of us remember that we can have whatever we say.   But many are either enjoying what we say or suffering from what we have always been saying.    

 

Let's start saying the good things and enjoy living the good life that the Lord has already given us. 

 

God bless our day ahead!  And restore everything we have lost by December this year! 

Guard our thoughts and mind

“Keep your thoughts continually fixed on all that is authentic and real, honorable and admirable, beautiful and respectful, pure and holy, merciful and kind. And fasten your thoughts on every glorious work of God, praising him always.” ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬ ‭TPT‬‬

Have we ever encountered that someone said something to us that made us feel so angry? 

Do you know what happened to me? I found myself digging up the past and recounting what this person did, what another person did and what happened previously and so on. 

I found myself giving in to one negative thought after another. I felt like someone fueling the negative thoughts like to a fire. Until I felt so depressed. Then I behaved badly towards my good friends finding faults with them too. 

It was really bad and I found myself asking the Lord, why Lord are THEY doing this to me? 

It was then that the Lord addressed me. What are you filling your mind with? Rubbish? Or pure things, beautiful things and things that build up? Immediately I switched my mind towards the Lord and these tormenting negative thoughts just disappeared from my mind and I felt a sense of peace in my heart. 

Yes, it is so true to guard our heart above anything else. Our peace is so important to us. Don't we think so?  

“Christ’s resurrection is your resurrection too. This is why we are to yearn for all that is above, for that’s where Christ sits enthroned at the place of all power, honor, and authority! Yes, feast on all the treasures of the heavenly realm and fill your thoughts with heavenly realities, and not with the distractions of the natural realm. Your crucifixion with Christ has severed the tie to this life, and now your true life is hidden away in God in Christ. And as Christ himself is seen for who he really is, who you really are will also be revealed, for you are now one with him in his glory!” ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭TPT‬‬

A Prayer of blessings and restorations

Lay our left hand on the bills, bank statements, our accommodation, our vehicle, our possession, our pay slips, our child, or on any area of our needs. Let us lift our right hand to Abba Father in heaven.

Let us communicate with our Heavenly Father right now. Let us pray in agreement for one another right now, and watch our loving Heavenly Father go about granting us the desires of our hearts.



Dear Father,

Your word says :

For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. (Matt 18:20)

Though we may be worlds apart, our virtual friend and I, but as we come to You in Jesus’ name, joining our hearts in prayer, we know, You are here in the midst of us, listening to us, hearing the prayer of our hearts and granting us our hearts’ desires according to the promises in Your Word.

Your Word says:
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. (Philippians4:18 )

Father, I lay my hand on my property (or my bills, my bank book/statement, wallet, my car, my sick child, my work desk), our business namecards representing our job or business and any other areas of need, right now, according to Your Word, I claim Your promise that You will supply ALL my need according to Your riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Christ Jesus my Saviour
Christ Jesus my wisdom
Christ Jesus my health
Christ Jesus my wealth
Christ Jesus my love
Christ Jesus my joy
Christ Jesus my peace
Christ Jesus my resurrection
Christ Jesus my life
Christ Jesus my happiness
Christ Jesus my power
Christ Jesus my might
Christ Jesus my redeemer
Christ Jesus my restorer of lost years
Christ Jesus my restorer of lost love (You can restore with better love in quality and quantity)
Christ Jesus my restorer of lost items
Christ Jesus my restorer of lost investments
Christ Jesus my finances
Christ Jesus my lover
Christ Jesus my glory
Christ Jesus my forgiveness
Christ Jesus my everything

As we pray for one another, we agree with one another, Your Word says:

18Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

19Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. (Matthew 18:18,19)



We bind the works of the enemy in our lives and in the lives of our loved ones right now, the sickness, bad habits, the lack, the barrenness, the addiction, etc. They are destroyed by the work of our Lord Jesus on the Cross even right now. The evil one bound and his works in our lives totally destroyed in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We bind the negative forces of the economic situations in the world and our lands to have any impact on our lives.

We loose the supply of Your wonderful blessings of love, joy and peace in the Holy Spirit into our lives right now. We also loose the supply of Your unmerited favors into every area of our lives right now. Give us favor with our superiors, our parents, our spouse, our children, our bosses, our loved ones, our relatives, our office colleagues, our bankers, our business associates, our customers and our suppliers both locally and internationally, both online and offline, the people whom we meet regularly, as well as the people whom You are bringing to our lives.

By Your grace, we loose the supply of extraordinary finances into our lives so much that we are a blessing to others too. The windows of heaven open and pour us such rich blessings that we have not enough room to contain them. Such that we are blessed to be a blessing to others too.

Father Your Word says:

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. (3 John 2)

Let it be unto us according to Your Word.

13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father.
14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. (john 14: 13, 14)

We ask for debt-free, total financial independence, a meaningful, powerful and rewarding life that impacts ourselves as well as others – a life that Christ Jesus’ glory manifest and shines upon us.

We live in Goshen (a place of near-ness to You), in our Father’s house, a place of love and acceptance in the Most High, a place where famine cannot touch, set apart from the rest of the world, a place of light, protection and abundance. A place where Your love knows no bounds. We rest in the Shadow of Your Wings. You carry us, Your beloved ones, upon Your shoulders, a place of perfect joy, enjoying Your love for us in Christ soaring with You ever so freely as You set us on high. Shalom Shalom. Praise the Lord!

Thank You Abba Father for answering us more than we can ask for or even think of.

In Jesus’ name amen.

It brings delight to God when He Finds Lost Sheep, Coins and Sons!

My heart is warmed to know that it is the delight of our Father, our Saviour Jesus, and even the Holy Spirit who lives within us, to seek and find and save the lost.

Luke 19:10 (King James Version)
10For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

We can be rest assured that He is on our side to restore our lost years, lost relationships, lost love, lost opportunities, lost finances and even lost favours. HE is able to restore many times more. It is His joy to seek and save the lost. Not just lost souls, but anything that we His children lost, let us come boldly and commit to Him to restore all that we have lost.

Thank you Jesus for your gracious assurance!

Praise You!

What is our contentment?

But as for me, my contentment is not in wealth but I’m seeing you and knowing all is well between us. And when I awake in heaven, I will be fully satisfied, for I will see you face to face. Psalms 17:15 

I spoke this verse back to the Lord on 27 March 2000. Ultimately it’s this peace of heart ❤️ that truly truly satisfies and puts a smile on our face in whatever we’re going through. Nothing else matters. 

Guess it’s not who is for me, who is against me. Who likes me or who is annoyed by my idiosyncrasies that really matters. It’s everything between Him and me. 

Trust in the Lord

Psalm 21:6,7 You have endowed him with eternal happiness. You have given him the unquenchable joy of your presence. And because the king trusts in the Lord, he will never stumble, never fall; for he depends on the steadfast love of the God who is above all gods. 

Thank You Jesus for the eternal happiness and the unquenchable joy of Your presence given us purely by grace. We receive! Many depends on houeses, riches, silver and gold, but we depend on Your steadfast love that nothing and no one can separate us from. No, not even time. That is how great Your love is. How wonderful, how beautiful. Praise You! As we commune in Your presence, all our needs vapourise. Yes, in Your sweet presence, my heart finds rest. Thank You.

Be like Leah

 Many times we just need to be like Leah … forget about Jacob … focus on the Lord. 

And all nations shall call you blessed

My prayer for us today: 

Malachi 3:12 KJV 

And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.

My prayer for us today

 That we are protected from the Covid 19 virus. No evil comes near our dwellings nor near us and all our loved ones and friends. That Covid 19 will leave earth soonest in Jesus’s name amen. 

About prayer

Why do we close our eyes when we pray?

We close our eyes usually so that we could focus.

We are given all spiritual blessings in Christ Jesus. 

Where are these blessings now?

They are found in the spiritual realm. 

When we close our eyes, we go into the invisible spiritual realm where all things are possible because we are in Christ.

Pray until something happens means pray until we can sense what we are praying for we have already received. 

Where is the lost item?

 where was the axehead?  today I learned something about lost and found.   I needed some pepper for my egg mayo, I searched for my pepper container at the usual box but it was not there.   I looked at the dining table but it was not there.   Then hubby said something, it should be at it's regular place.   I looked and looked again but could not find it.   Then I rearranged the bottle of cooking oil back to it's original place, then I saw the pepper container!   It was right where around it's usual place!  

Then I immediately applied this principle to look for a lost book,  yes! it is found,  it was just on the floor near the table I usually put it.   Wow!  

I remember someone ever mentioned that our lost items were not actually lost. They’d been misplaced. So we would be able to locate them somehow. 

Then I remember the story of the lost axehead .... Elisha asked his disciple who had lost his axehead to throw a wooden stick into the water where the axehead was lost and God did the miracle! HE made the metal axehead float onto the water where the disciple could retrieve it and get back to his work!   So if we find that we might have lost something precious to us, we could locate it (with God's miraculous help) around the same area where we might have lost it.   A proven Biblical principle for lost things. So blessed .... 

1 Kings 6:1-7 KJV 

1 And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell with thee is too strait for us. 2 Let us go, we pray thee, unto Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go ye. 3 And one said, Be content, I pray thee, and go with thy servants. And he answered, I will go. 4 So he went with them. And when they came to Jordan, they cut down wood. 5 But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed. 6 And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither; and the iron did swim. 7 Therefore said he, Take it up to thee. And he put out his hand, and took it.
