Pour Out Your Heart To GOD!


My soul, wait silently for God alone, 

For my expectation is from Him. 

He only is my rock and my salvation; 

He is my defense; 

I shall not be moved. 

In God is my salvation and my glory; 

The rock of my strength, 

And my refuge, is in God. 

Trust in Him at all times, you people; 

Pour out your heart before Him; 

God is a refuge for us. Selah

Psalm 62:5-8

GOD is love. 
His love for your is pure and unconditional.
He has no selfish motives.
He is compassionate and 
His understanding is infinite!
He is the GOD of all wisdom.
He is all powerful.
He has the best solution to every problem of yours.
So pour out your heart to GOD,
to GOD alone.

It is better to pour out your heart to GOD 
than to people.
Don't pour your heart into the media - 
Whatsapp, Messenger, Zoom, texts,
calls, You tube and so on.
Doing this will only scatter and 
multiply your problems!
You will not find a solution.

Pour out your heart to GOD alone,
and find peace today.

We All Need GOD!

 

We All Need GOD!

So bad, very sad

  Such a cad, wrongly clad,

    Poor dad, Mum mad,

      Spoilt lad, off a tad,


We’d all be drowned in Noah’s flood,

Unless, yes, unless we’re washed in JESUS’ Blood,

So let’s all pray and plead the Blood,

The Precious, Powerful, Cleansing Blood, 


That is the solution,

To clear the pollution.


JESUS came to save, not to condemn,

  Let’s also save and not condemn,

    We can’t fight FOR GOD; HE IS GOD!

      We fight FOR people; They need GOD!

              

                    WE ALL NEED GOD!!

Whom Are You Trusting?

Whom Do You Trust?

And they were helped against them, and the Hagrites were delivered into their hand, and all who were with them, for they cried out to God in the battle. He heeded their prayer, because they put their trust in Him. Then they took away their livestock--fifty thousand of their camels, two hundred and fifty thousand of their sheep, and two thousand of their donkeys--also one hundred thousand of their men; for many fell dead, because the war was God's. And they dwelt in their place until the captivity. - 1 Chronicles 5:20-22 

When we cry out to GOD in times of trouble He hears our prayer if we put our trust in Him. If we place out trust in Him we will leave the burden with Him. Then GOD will take over the situation. He takes over the battle. Then the battle belongs to the LORD. GOD always wins! Therefore we will be on the winning side!!

Thus says the LORD: "Cursed is the man who trusts in man And makes flesh his strength, Whose heart departs from the LORD. For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, And shall not see when good comes, But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, In a salt land which is not inhabited. "Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, And whose hope is the LORD. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit. - Jeremiah 17:5-8 

The next time you have a problem, call on the LORD JESUS. Pour out your heart to Him and put your entire trust in Him. Keep doing this until your burden is lifted. Now the battle is the LORD'S. Now you can stand still and see the victory!

PALM READING

Palm Reading

If you are one who is interested in knowing about your future through Palm Readers and Horoscopes, this is for you!

The GOD of creation Who also created you says that you are inscribed in the Palm of His hand! 
Your life is not written in your palm.

"Can a woman forget her nursing child, 
And not have compassion on the son of her womb?
 Surely they may forget, 
Yet I will not forget you.
 See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands;
 Your walls are continually before Me.
 Isaiah 49:15-16 

JESUS the Good Shepherd also said that none can pluck His sheep from His hand.

"My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
 "And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish;
 neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.
 "My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all;
 and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand.
 "I and My Father are one." 
John 10:27-30 

It is therefore prudent for you to place your life in the hand of your Creator.
He is also your Heavenly Father. His love for you is pure and unconditional.
He has given you a free will to decide for yourself.

Make the right decision to entrust your life into His hands.
You will experience His peace.

A Song Of Praise To The Sovereign LORD!


PSALM 97

The LORD reigns;
Let the earth rejoice; 
Let the multitude of isles be glad! 

Clouds and darkness surround Him; 
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. 
A fire goes before Him, And burns up His enemies round about. His lightnings light the world; 
The earth sees and trembles. 
The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, 
At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. 
The heavens declare His righteousness, 
And all the peoples see His glory. 

Let all be put to shame who serve carved images, 
Who boast of idols. 
Worship Him, all you gods. 

Zion hears and is glad, 
And the daughters of Judah rejoice Because of Your judgments, 
O LORD. 
For You, LORD, are most high above all the earth; 
You are exalted far above all gods. 

You who love the LORD, hate evil! 
He preserves the souls of His saints; 
He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked. 
Light is sown for the righteous, 
And gladness for the upright in heart. 

Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous, 
And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name.

Strength From GOD

Receiving Strength From The LORD

Then he said to them,
 "Go your way,
 eat the fat,
 drink the sweet,
 and send portions
 to those for whom nothing is prepared;
 for this day is holy to our Lord.
 Do not sorrow, for
 the joy of the LORD is your strength.
 Nehemiah 8:10 

When the word of GOD was taught to the people of Israel, they were convicted in their hearts. They felt sorrow as they mourned for their sin. They repented and turned their hearts and faces towards GOD. This brought joy to the heart of GOD and strength to His people.

*********************************************************************

And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. - 2 Corinthians 12:9  

Do you feel cast down by your physical weaknesses?
Have you prayed and not received healing?
Seek the LORD diligently. 
He desires to reveal His glory to you by extending His grace over you. 
You will reflect GOD'S glory when you depend on His strength. 
He has promised to give you sufficient grace for each day. 
His grace will enable you to be what He wants you to be
 and to do what He wants you to do.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

But those who wait on the LORD
 Shall renew their strength;
 They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
 They shall run and not be weary, 
They shall walk and not faint. 
 Isaiah 40:31  

We are renewed in our strength when we wait on the LORD in prayer and in the study of His word. Repenting of our sins, turning to Him and connecting with Him brings new strength to us from GOD. 

#####################################################

Then the LORD turned to him and said, "Go in this might of yours, and you shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites. Have I not sent you?" - Judges 6:14 

Gideon was fearful of the enemies of Israel who were oppressing them.
He felt small and inferior in himself and helpless.
Do you feel that way at times? 
In school?
In your workplace?
In your community?
In your Church?
The LORD will turn towards you
 so that you may go forth in His strength.
He has a task for you. 
He will use you to bring down the enemies of the people of GOD. 
GOD will use you to deliver His people
 from their enemies who oppress them.

Salvation of the Soul


Now Ben-Hadad the king of Syria gathered all his forces together; thirty-two kings were with him, with horses and chariots. And he went up and besieged Samaria, and made war against it. Then he sent messengers into the city to Ahab king of Israel, and said to him, "Thus says Ben-Hadad: 'Your silver and your gold are mine; your loveliest wives and children are mine.' " And the king of Israel answered and said, "My lord, O king, just as you say, I and all that I have are yours." Then the messengers came back and said, "Thus speaks Ben-Hadad, saying, 'Indeed I have sent to you, saying, "You shall deliver to me your silver and your gold, your wives and your children"; 'but I will send my servants to you tomorrow about this time, and they shall search your house and the houses of your servants. And it shall be, that whatever is pleasant in your eyes, they will put in their hands and take it.' " So the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, "Notice, please, and see how this man seeks trouble, for he sent to me for my wives, my children, my silver, and my gold; and I did not deny him." And all the elders and all the people said to him, "Do not listen or consent." Therefore he said to the messengers of Ben-Hadad, "Tell my lord the king, 'All that you sent for to your servant the first time I will do, but this thing I cannot do.' " And the messengers departed and brought back word to him. - 1 Kings 20:1-9 
Ahab was willing to be servant to Ben-Hadad as long as his precious possessions were not taken from him.

Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to Him, "All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me." Then Jesus said to him, "Away with you, Satan! For it is written, 'You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve.' " - Matthew 4:8-10 
Having the whole world under him, Satan tempted JESUS with all the kingdoms of the world and their glory to worship him and be his servant. In worship, you surrender your whole self and submit your will to the one you worship. By rebuking Satan vehemently and flatly refusing his offer, our LORD overcame this temptation.

"For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? "Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? "For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels." - Mark 8:36-38 
Our soul is saved and free when we worship and serve only GOD our Heavenly Father and the LORD JESUS CHRIST.

For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account. - Hebrews 4:12-13  
The word of GOD brings a revelation of the distinction between the very source of life to our spirit through the Holy Spirit - like the marrow, and relationships of the soul in life - like the joints.

"Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. "For I have come to 'set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law'; "and 'a man's enemies will be those of his own household.' "He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. "And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. "He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it. - Matthew 10:34-39 
JESUS is the word of GOD made flesh. Unlike Satan the LORD requires our soul that is free from our possessions that possess us.

Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' "This is the first and great commandment. "And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' "On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets." - Matthew 22:37-40 
The first and great commandment is to love the LORD our GOD with all our heart. He is our very life.

"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. - Matthew 6:33 
Our main motive and goal in life should be to see GOD'S Kingdom come. This is what we should seek in life first.

But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ - Philippians 3:7-8 
This is the victorious life in CHRIST that is great gain!

Who Is GOD?

"You are My witnesses," says the LORD, "And My servant whom I have chosen, That you may know and believe Me, And understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, Nor shall there be after Me. I, even I, am the LORD, And besides Me there is no savior. I have declared and saved, I have proclaimed, And there was no foreign god among you; Therefore you are My witnesses," Says the LORD, "that I am God. Indeed before the day was, I am He; And there is no one who can deliver out of My hand; I work, and who will reverse it?" Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: "For your sake I will send to Babylon, And bring them all down as fugitives--The Chaldeans, who rejoice in their ships. I am the LORD, your Holy One, The Creator of Israel, your King." - Isaiah 43:10-15


And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, "Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. - Revelation 1:17 


looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, - Titus 2:13


"The God of our fathers raised up Jesus whom you murdered by hanging on a tree. "Him God has exalted to His right hand to be Prince and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. - Acts 5:30-31


"But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." - Acts 1:8


Jesus said to her, "I who speak to you am He." - John 4:26


"Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins."- John 8:24


Then Jesus said to them, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things. - John 8:28


  • I am what I Believe. If I am Believing in JESUS as my Savior I am saved.

True Worship

True worship is absolute surrender of one's spirit, soul and body to The One Who has all authority over his/her life. soul comprises of will, intellect and emotion.

True worship is the response of a person when he connects with his Creator God.

True worship originates in the spirit of man which connects with God. Then it proceeds to the soul and body, bringing him to the posture of kneeling, bowing down and prostrating himself before God.

Constant true worship is on in heaven currently! Come, let's have a glimpse of it!!

After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, "Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this."
Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne.
And He who sat there was like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald.
Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white robes; and they had crowns of gold on their heads.
And from the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings, and voices. Seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
Before the throne there was a sea of glass, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back.
The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature like a calf, the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle.
The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying: "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!"
Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever,
the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying:
"You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created."    Revelation 4:1-11 (NKJV) 




Man has an inherent instinct to worship as he was primarily created for that purpose. Therefore, if not God, we still worship something! While worshiping God, we also worship other things. True worship is worshiping God, and worshiping God alone.

When we worship anything or anyone other than God, we come under bondage and are oppressed.
Therefore God has commanded us to worship Him alone. This brings us into freedom and liberty.
This puts us in the right place bringing us into right relationship with others and other things, whether God-made or man-made. That is victorious living!

We cannot experience true worship if we do not connect with God and see His glory. This world is separated from heaven by a heavenly realm in which the powers of darkness are prevalent. Also, the things we see and hear, dull our spiritual vision and hearing. Therefore we need to diligently seek God and His glory, so that we may worship Him.

When we worship God, His favor comes upon us and His goodness and blessings pour into our lives.
As we continue to worship, we are being prepared to be part of the worship team in heaven one day!

John 3:16

John 3:16 (NKJV)
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

This Scripture is perhaps the most popular verse in the Bible. When you became a Christian, this is probably the first verse you memorized. You may recite it every few weeks at your local church. You may have grown up in a Christian family where you heard it again and again until it became another one of those spiritual clichés. As a child, you could have rattled it off in fast-forward at your parents’ command.

John 3:16 effectively sums up everything a Christian should believe. The core fundamental truth of the Salvation story lies in this verse.

Let's take a closer look. The verse begins with "For God so loved the world." Let's concentrate on the "God" part for a moment.

Now, who is "God"? God is our Creator, the Supreme Being who rules over everything we know and see today. He is immortal, never had a beginning, never will have an end, all powerful and all knowing. The Bible tells us that He created the Universe in just one day (Gen 1). Ok, we’ll think about this for a while. We all know how big the earth is, right? Ok, pretty big. Now we know how big the Sun is; just big enough to fit a million Earths into it. The Sun is a star, and in the Universe, scientists predict there are about a hundred septillion stars (that’s 1 with 27 zeroes after it). Our galaxy is called the Milky Way, and to get from one end to the other, you’d have to travel at the speed of light for 100,000 years. That’s pretty big. Astronomers haven’t even figured out how many galaxies there are in the Universe, but there are many billions out there, each one with millions of stars and planets in it, and many are much larger than the Milky Way. God created all of this in one day. Genesis 1 also talks of how God created man in His own image to serve Him and have a relationship with Him. But man blew it pretty quickly. Adam disobeyed God and ever since then, the human race has been sinful – doing things God is displeased with. Now, one could only expect such a powerful God to have pretty high expectations for His humans here on Earth, which means we humans fall short of God’s standards by a long shot. We continually sin and do things that displease Him. Anyone who sins is doomed to die and will go to Hell – that is the death sentence God dealt out for us when we chose the pathway to sin – not because He wanted to but because His high standards had to be maintained. We desperately needed a way out – there was no other way for us to once again establish that connection man had with God as God wanted it to be.

Now we know who God is, let’s go to the next part of the verse: “For God so loved the world.” Think about that for a moment. This amazing, almighty God loved the world? Ok, that’s very nice, but why would God love the people in the world? I mean, what have we done for God to make Him love us? In fact, the way we live our lives gives God plenty of reason to hate and despise us. This section of the verse shows us that God really did want to maintain that relationship with man like He had intended it to be from the beginning when He created Adam and Eve. However, we had created a huge debt for ourselves by sinning and displeasing God, making it impossible for Him to come down to our level. A perfect, holy, righteous God cannot have a connection with a sinful, filthy, rebellious race of people. But still God loved us. He was sorry that man had chosen the wrong path and wanted that connection restored. So we needed a substitute, someone who could bridge that gap over the chasm sin had created between God and man. The substitute had to be completely without sin, perfect and displaying all attributes of God Himself. How else could man get back that oneness with God?

Which brings us to the next part of the verse: “…that He gave His only begotten Son.” This is where things get interesting. So we know that God really wanted that relationship with man restored, but to send His only Son to be the substitute? That’s a bit much. I mean, why did God love us that much anyway? We deserve to be sent to Hell for all our sinful actions, so why did God care about us enough to send His Son? This is the most vivid portrayal of the love of God anywhere in the Bible. We may never understand why, and when we come to that point of wonder and amazement at God’s love, we truly stand speechless and awestruck at the measures He took just to save us. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son. Wow. This was a huge sacrifice on God’s part. It meant letting His precious, only Son to go into the world, live amongst sinful people for 33 years, and then be killed on a Cross to take all our sins and punishment as our substitute. What an incredible sacrifice! The God who created the entire Universe in one day “so loved the world” that He rather had His Son become a substitute for us than allow the human race to perish in Hell. The gap between God and man was finally bridged by the Son of God. His name is Jesus Christ, God Himself who appeared in the flesh to live like us, with us and for us, becoming one of us for our sake and providing access to our loving Creator God once and for all.

The next part of the verse describes the outcomes of what Jesus did for us: “…that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Whoever believes in Him? So there’s still an option. God was not going to force us into a relationship with Him so He left us the choice now that we had access to Him. And the choice? We either believe in the Jesus Christ or we don’t. Quite simple, actually. What happens to those who believe? They “should not perish but have everlasting life.” The inevitable outcome for the entire human race was for us to be doomed to Hell, because we failed to meet God’s standards ever since Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden. But now, God offers us “everlasting life” with Him in Heaven! What an incredible thought to think that God Almighty has opened a way to us to live with Him forever! All we have to do is believe in Jesus Christ.

You may be thinking, “Now, I’m supposed to believe in Jesus, but isn’t He dead because He was killed when He was on Earth?” There’s good news for you, Jesus is alive! Jesus was God’s Son, therefore He was God Himself in the flesh, meaning He was completely without sin. If Jesus lived a life completely without sin on this Earth, that would have excluded Him from the death sentence God placed on the human race since the fall because Jesus was the only Person in history who lived a life on Earth that met God’s standards. Therefore, when He was killed, He was buried and on the third day, He rose again because death itself could not hold down the power of complete holiness, purity and righteousness. So Jesus paid our sin debt, bearing our punishment on the Cross, but still without sin. And it is that same resurrection power that is available to all those who place their trust and belief in Jesus.

If you haven’t already invited Jesus Christ into your heart, let me tell you now that God loves you so very, very much and He longs to have a personal relationship with you. He showed His love for you by sending His Son to take your punishment, allowing you to enjoy His presence and guidance here on Earth, and then live with Him forever after this life. Isn’t it an amazing thought to think that the God who created a hundred septillion stars in one day, wants you to accept His gift of Jesus Christ. It cost Him a lot, but He offers it for free. The choice is yours: will you believe in the Son? If you would like to enter into a relationship with Jesus Christ, then you are making the best decision of your life. You are allowing the Creator of the Universe to take control of your life. Please pray the following prayer from your heart:

Click here for a prayer you could pray.

If you are still not sure, remember that God’s love is always there for you, no matter how far away from Him you may stray. Life on Earth is short, and our eternal destinies are what are most important. His gift is there waiting for you. Accept it or not.
