God, I seek Your Favor with All my heart!

Psalm 119:58 (AMP)

⁵⁸“I sought Your favour with all my heart;
Be merciful and gracious to me according to Your promise.”

I don’t think that I deserve and am worthy of God’s supernatural favour in my own life. I realise that I am a sinful person and I lack in so many areas of my life. I also know that God loves me and that I can come to His throne asking Him for His favour.

I realised again that God still favours me, I was facing a possible job loss and it would have meant I would have had to stay home the last part of this year. I wasn’t prepared for this and I didn’t want to believe the possibility of not working. I believe God changed the king's heart. Proverbs 21 verse 1 says that “the king’s heart is a stream of water in the hand of the LORD; he turns it wherever he wills.” Isn’t that awesome? Yes, it is awesome. God changed the king's heart towards me. I still have work. Praise God.

This has been a difficult year for me. I find that I am in opposition with people all the time, nothing I do is pleasing to them, they stab me in the back all the time. I was fighting back and then I realised I should just bring them to the Lord, let God deal with them. When I was at my weakest God lifted me up.

It’s true I should have stopped trying so hard to do things in my own will, I should have asked God for help.

Prayer

LORD, in humility I stand before You today, Lord helps me. Thank You, for Your supernatural favour in my life. I am asking You Lord to equip me and enable me to fulfil the plans You have for my life. Holy Spirit please help me. LORD, today I want to pray for Your supernatural favour in my own life, I am asking for a supernatural favour in my relationships, with my book, with my job and wherever I go. I am asking this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ my Lord and saviour. Amen

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life. Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward. God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other. Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’. Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her. One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it. As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’. Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl. I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today. I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

Help Me Stay True in Giving God His Tithe

Can I be real with you for a minute? Tithing is something I wrestle with. I try my best to be faithful, giving to the best of my ability. But let's be honest, sometimes I look around and see others who seem to be blessed in ways I'm not. They have this financial ease, this "caliber" of blessing, that can feel a world away from my own reality. And in those moments of doubt, a quiet, gentle voice reminds me: I am blessed. God does provide. He has come through for me more times than I can count, often in ways I didn't even see until later. He's always there, picking me up when I've lost it and guiding me when I'm blind to the path. My heart is so grateful for that. But my thinking still needs work. My human nature kicks in and whispers, "I earned this. I worked for this salary." It’s a constant battle to get my heart aligned with the truth. And the truth is found in verses like this: “A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the ...
