Networking for Good Work + Promise Verse

Verse: Mark 2:12

12 He got up, took his mat and walked out in full view of them all. This amazed everyone and they praised God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”

The year 2021 will be a year where we will witness things that we have never seen before. The people will be amazed by the works of your God in your life. Get ready to understand the way of the Lord to be this witness. 

What is the way of the Lord? The way of the Lord will tell us what God likes and does not like. And if you don't know, we must put our effort to learn the ways of the Lord. And the Lord will be more than willing to teach you. Please see verse below

Verse: Psalm 32:8

8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.

Here are some pointers on the walking in ways of Lord
  • Signs and wonders
  • God will work through you
  • Doors of Faith
  • Godly desires
  • Covenant 

Signs and wonders

Verse: Mark 16:20

20 Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it.

The verse says that the Lord worked with the disciples and signs and wonders followed. A lot of people pray and hope that God will work. And God appreciates you praying but is waiting for you to work so that He can accompany it with signs and wonders. 

Get ready to work. Get ready to be a witness for Him. 

Q Do you know why God has blessed you? 
A The blessing of the Lord is to be used for His purpose and work. To be His witness

Q Do you know why God has opened many doors for you?
A God has opened the door so that you will walk through it. That door is for you to be His witness

Is it hard to be that witness? Please remember that obedience activates the Anointing. The anointing opens up the signs and wonders. Get ready to reach out to your neighbors and friends and be His witness

God will work through you

Verse: Acts 15:4

4 When they came to Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church and the apostles and elders, to whom they reported everything God had done through them.

A report is a summary of things that has already happened. The end of the year will bring reports of what God has done. All it requires us is to be ready

Are you ready to say, "I am ready to work with you"

Doors of Faith

Verse: Acts 14:27

27 On arriving there, they gathered the church together and reported all that God had done through them and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles.

God will open the door of faith the people around you. The knowledge that Heaven is rejoicing because of people knowing Him will fill you with joy

Godly Desires

Verse: Philippians 2:13

13 for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.

God will put the desire in your heart. Don't replace the desires of God in your heart with excuses. Get a hold of what God desires and act

Covenant

Verse: Exodus 34:10

10 Then the Lord said: “I am making a covenant with you. Before all your people I will do wonders never before done in any nation in all the world. The people you live among will see how awesome is the work that I, the Lord, will do for you.

Covenant is a seal or a confirmation of what God wants to do for you. And God is sealing his desire on you. Let us respond his covenant with obedience. 

Promise verse: Numbers 6:24-26

24 The Lord bless you  and keep you;
25 the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you;
26 the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace

Financial Awareness Day 2025

Financial Awareness Day 2025 Financial Awareness Day, observed annually on August 14th. Financial awareness is important because we navigate through life using money/finance as one of the tools. As part of the awareness, there is one practice, we all need to stay clear off - Financial Impropriety. The term Financial Impropriety encompasses a range of unethical behaviour related to handling money. And this was the first sin of the church and is something that is most overlooked. We see this story in Acts 5  Ananias and Sapphira The story of Ananias and Sapphira is told and interpreted where the couple paid for their lies (related to money). While this is true, most people don't investigate why this came about. This didn't originate with this couple. The church violated a principle, which is the root of this problem But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing (Matthew 6:3) The church decided acknowledge Barnabas' contribution ...

Happy Men's Day!

Happy Men's Day! Celebrating people is important because it builds community, strengthens relationships, and creates a culture of gratitude and appreciation. We all celebrate Women's Day. However, men often are not excited about any kind of celebration meant for them. That is because we are already having such a good time.... and every day!!! We don't need a special day. Here are some examples Men can call upon higher powers to validate their claims.  With Christ as my witness, I speak with utter truthfulness. My conscience and the Holy Spirit confirm it."  (Romans 9:1) This is very helpful in situations where our plans fail. So we compare our word, to unwavering Word of Jesus himself 18 As surely as God is faithful, our word to you does not waver between “Yes” and “No.” 19 For Jesus Christ, the Son of God, does not waver between “Yes” and “No.” He is the one whom Silas, Timothy, and I preached to you, and as God’s ultimate “Yes,” he always does what he says.  (1 Corin...

Kill the Babies!!!

Morality Standards A picture is painted of a potter fashioning clay to his liking. And this animated picture brings life to the clay, with the clay protesting the Potters's design. This surprised Potter asks "Can I not do with you, Israel, as this potter does?" Jeremiah 18:5 NIV It seems completely reasonable and moral that the Potter is allowed to shape the clay to his design and liking. Conversely it is unreasonable and immoral for the clay to protest the Potter's design.   "You turn things upside down, as if the potter were thought to be like the clay!" Isaiah 29:16 NIV And yet, we continue in our unreasonability and turn things upside down. Why does mere clay (or humankind), protest the Potter (or God) on morality. There is no rational position we can take, that justifies our objections. And it is funny that our objections always start with  "If there were a God, He would not have ordered.... Destruction of all living things in the land of Cannan ...
