Beloved( truly, deeply loved one) this is a reminder from your heavenly Father today, that you belong to Him!

Our heavenly Father is whispering to you at this very moment “ I am so happy that you are mine!”

This whisper is absolute assurance that you are accepted and received by God always. He made you!

Think about this for a minute:

1. God our Father calls you beloved( deeply loved one).

2. God made us and what manufacturer makes a product that they do not love, approve of and is proud of? Hmmmm.

We can think about the Apple versus Android rivalry:) The manufacturers of Apple products are very proud of what they produce and so is Android. It does not matter who does not love the products: the manufacturers have great confidence and pride in what produce.

The same with God and you. He made you and He approved you. He is proud of you: it does not matter who does not like you, approve of you or value you.

Let me gently remind you at this moment of what you belong to God signifies:

You belong to God means that: you are well taken care of- you are well provided for- you are heavily protected- you have value-you are precious-you are royalty-you are loved unconditionally-you are accepted( it does not matter who rejects you)-you are forgiven-you are rich-you are healed-you are delivered-you do not have to worry-you do not have to beg- you are blessed-you are highly favored-you are the head, not the tail****** you can keep going right?

Beloved, our heavenly Father wants you to remember this every day. You are His and He is yours! God delights in you, you are His delight (He is very pleased with you) and there is NOTHING you can do about it or change that! So just believe and receive this message and reminder from God today.

Let us pray!

Father God, thank You for loving me. It is difficult at times to try to figure out and understand why You would love someone like me, but the reality is that You do love me. Thank You for loving me. Help me to receive Your love and live like I am loved by You. Open my eyes to see my value in You in Jesus Name I pray. Amen🙏🏾

I just want to encourage us to keep on being encouraged, expectant, hopeful, assured, positive, keeping the faith- continue to be optimistic in this month!

Are you still waiting on the manifestation of prayers for healing? Deliverance? Breakthrough? A job opportunity? A place to live? A spouse? Finances to increase? Unity in family? Restoration of a relationship? Children or family members or spouse to act right? Job promotion? A new car?

Do not give up!

Do not lose hope!

The God we know IS a Promise Keeper, Miracle Worker and a Way Maker- and I promise you, that if you do not or have yet encountered Him as such; if you keep believing and trusting in Him, it is only a matter of time before He reveals Himself as such to you🙏🏾

We can remain optimistic because Philippians 1:6 ICB version tells us:

God began doing a good work in you. And He will continue it until it is finished when Jesus Christ comes again. I am sure of that.

Romans 8:28 tells us that ALL things will work for our good. So if the situations and circumstances that we find ourselves in does not feel or look good, be hopeful, be confident, BE OPTIMISTIC that this is not the end. So we truly can look forward to the days ahead with hope!

Thank You Jesus🙌🏾

Luke 1:37 assures us that NO THING is impossible with God!

Matthew 19:26 tells us that with man things are impossible, but with God ALL things are possible!

In Mark 9:13 Jesus tells us that if we can believe, that ALL things are possible!

So continue to trust and have faith in God as we continue to wait for His Promises to manifest in our lives and as we continue to wait for Him to give and grant us the desires of our hearts!

I leave us with this instruction as we look forward with hope to the good future God promised us in Jeremiah 29:11.

While waiting on God, DO NOT long for “the good old days.” Ecclesiastes 7:10 NLT tells us that it is not wise to do so; rather let us continue to be further encouraged by these words from Isaiah 43:18-19 NLT:

18. But forget all that— it is nothing compared to what I am going to do.

19. For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.

PRAYER:

Father we thank You for the hope that we have in You. Help us continue to hold on to Your Word and Promises found in Your Word.

May we remain hopeful so we can see the full manifestation of Your Promises for us. We know faith is Your currency and will get us everything we need.

Thank You Father that as we remain hopeful in You, we will not be put to shame. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen🙏🏾

I just want to stop by to encourage you today, do not abort the wait in this season of waiting on The Lord!

Remember that God’s delay is not denial!

Everything will happen when it is supposed to happen. It is ALL about God’s timing and there is NO THING you can do to speed it up and NO THING any one can do to stop it!

While waiting on God, let us do what waiters do- SERVE! Serve God and serve others well-willingly and with a good attitude!

*A gentle reminder that opening doors for others-opens doors for you!! So open doors for others even when it is not convenient- every action or inaction is a seed sown.

*Another gentle reminder while patiently waiting on God is that He does not need our help! When things are seemingly delayed, He does not need our help! Be still and get to know that He IS indeed God! Psalm 46:10.

DO NOT ABORT THE WAIT!! I know waiting is tiring, waiting is not easy, especially if you have been waiting a while, waiting can be discouraging, waiting can be disappointing and you may begin to lose hope while waiting- but always remember that waiting season has a purpose!

Waiting season is a time of preparation, a time of pruning, a time of purging, a time of protection, a time of preservation, a time of healing, it is a time when God has to remove our nature and character and replace it with His Nature and Character!

The season of waiting is not punishment; it is preparation to receive The Promise!

Do not lose Faith while waiting!

Keep your expectations high while waiting!

TIKVAH!!! Expect GREAT things!

Hope in God will never disappoint or bring shame! Romans 5:5

Wait on The Lord again I encourage you to wait! I know you are tired but wait a little longer!

PRAYER:

Father in the Name of Jesus help me to not lose faith and hope in You, Your Word and Your Promise for me. Help me to wait well because I know any day now You will do what You Promise to do!

Thank You Father in Jesus Name I pray and give thanks! Amen

In this month, I just want to remind some and inform others that you have the grace and favour to give birth to the dreams and purpose God has placed inside you!

On September 3rd, I was at the airport getting ready to board a flight on route to my birthday getaway destination. While waiting, I decided to place an order at Starbucks for breakfast.

I looked at the menu and it seemed like every sandwich had sausage and bacon. I just wanted a simple sandwich with just egg and cheese!

As my turn came to order, I asked for a croissant with egg and cheese only. I got my receipt and it was noted a sandwich with no meat. I was satisfied and confident that I would get my egg and cheese breakfast sandwich.

My wait for the sandwich seemed to be taking longer than usual. I was starting to get a bit impatient when I decided to take a closer look at the gentleman making the orders to see what was taking him so long with mine.

It was then I realized that the sandwiches were pre-made, so he would take them from the fridge, take the out of the package and put them in the microwave.

Well mine was a special/unusual/not popular order it appeared. So he had to open my package and struggle a little to remove the meat from my breakfast sandwich, so that took a little while longer.

At that moment Holy Spirit spoke to me and this shifted my whole attitude, mindset and posture for the rest of the time while waiting for my order.

Holy Spirit reminded me that what I asked for was not the normal. Just like many of the things we are praying, trusting and waiting on God for is not ordinary. The wait time is always longer for customized orders. What we are expecting God for is BIG- and God is preparing to deliver exceedingly, abundantly above anything we have asked for or imagined. Ephesians 3:20.

So with that in mind, do not get sad or discouraged at the passage of time, while waiting on God for a healing, job, loved one to get saved, you to meet your husband or wife, paper work to get approved, money to pay that bill, whatever you are presently waiting on God for, do not get tired or lose hope!

God is faithful and so whatever He says, He will do!

Habbakkuk 2:3 KJV says For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it: because it will surely come.

Habbakuk 2:3 NLT tells us The vision is for a future time. It describes the end ( Jeremiah 29:11 plans that are full of hope and a GOOD end-so if where you are and what you are experiencing is not good-then it IS not the end) and it will be fullfilled, it will be beautiful according to Ecclesiastes 3:11. If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed!

Psalm 138:8 The Lord will perfect not some, but ALL, every thing that concerns or involves us!!

WOW!!! What words of assurance and comfort from God!

So trust God because He is trustworthy and not a man that He will lie (Numbers 23:19).

Because we know God is faithful-we will rest in Him like He instructed us to in July- be at Peace like He instructed us in August and we will wait patiently on Him in this month of September ( or whatever the month you are receiving this)

Let us wait patiently for The Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes wait patiently on The Lord as instructed in Psalm 27:13.

Prayer:

Father teach us how to wait and help us how to wait on You!

We thank You because we know our wait will not be in vain and we will not be disappointed!

Thank You for everything You are about to give us in Jesus Name we pray and give thanks!

Amen

As the month of August comes to an end, today is 8/28. It brings to mind Romans 8:28- a gentle but absolute reminder that ALL things will work for your good!

This is your month of Peace( a state of security and tranquility). It does that not mean that there will not be trouble, noise and chaos around-but rather, we will be so focused, rooted and grounded in God, His Word and His Promises-that what we see, hear and experience WILL NOT move us, cause us to worry or fret, panic, doubt or fear!

On Christ The Solid Rock-The Word of God we will stand in August and every month going forward! We will have unbelievable and undeniable peace that surpasses all human understanding; peace that makes no sense according to Philippians 4:7.

In this month of August( or whatever month you will read this) when we obey and do what is right, our obedience to God will bring and give us peace! Which means disobedience will bring us unrest and turmoil!

Expect the Peace of God that will bring a stillness, quietness and confidence the whole month! This stillness and peace will be the source of renewed strength!

Isaiah 30:15 tells us that in quietness and confidence will be our strength!

*Psalm 4:8 tells us My people( you and I) will live in safety, quietly at home. We will be at rest.

According to this verse, we are to expect :

1. peace in our physical homes and in our bodies, minds and souls (spiritually).

2. The protection of God.

3. Our homes will be the sanctuaries they were intended to be

4. Many whose homes have felt or been feeling like hell that that will change. Peace will be in our homes and we will live and rest peacefully and safely in our homes.

The verse continues to assure us that *EVEN IF the forest should be destroyed and the city torn down, The Lord will greatly bless His people(us). Wherever they plant seed, bountiful crops will spring up.

So with that promise-let us be very careful of the seeds( words, actions, thoughts) that we sow this month and every month going forward.

*Their cattle and donkeys will graze freely!

So a thousand may fall at our sides and ten thousand at our right sides but no evil will come near us, our homes, our loved ones! Psalm 91:7

EXPECT freedom and all restrictions to be broken from our lives and the lives of our love ones this month.

REST in The Peace of God ( Jesus, The Word of God, His Promises) this month. Yes I know that this phrase rest in peace is often associated with death and often used at funerals-but I dare to debunk that and challenge and encourage us to rest in The Peace of God while we are yet very much still alive and on the land of the living and expect God’s Faithfulness in fulfilling His Promises that will bring about positive and unexpected reversal of difficult circumstances and situations this month!

Amen!

Lets us pray!

Father I thank You for Your Peace, I need Your Peace and so I receive Your Peace in Jesus name I pray and give thanks!

Amen🙏🏾

May God bless your month of August💕🙌🏾💕

In this new month of August The Lord Himself, as stated in Psalm 126 ESV will turn our captivity around.

EXPECT deliverance and things to suddenly turn around this month!

Psalm 126 :1-6

1. When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream.

   * EXPECT restoration in the month of August-the restoration will seem unreal-like you are dreaming because it may have been so long, or the situation may have seemed totally impossible!

2. Then our mouth was filled with laughter and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for them.

   *EXPECT to laugh this month. The joy of The Lord in your life will not only be evident to those close to you, but also to strangers and unbelievers!

   *Others will also see the goodness of God in your life!

3. The Lord Himself has done great things for us; we are glad.

   *EXPECT God to do great things, be thankful, be grateful and rejoice when He does!

4. Restore our fortunes, O Lord like streams in the Negeb!

   *EXPECT restoration- The Lord Himself will restore the years that the locust, caterpillar, cankerworm and palmerworm has stolen.

   *EXPECT restoration of things that were lost due to hardship or adversity! Joel 2:25-26

5. Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy!

6. He who goes out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy.

   *EXPECT weeping and mourning to turn to dancing!

   *EXPECT unspeakable, unexplainable, uncontrollable joy this month because joy is coming, coming, coming in the morning!

The Month of August is our morning!

JOY comes in the morning! Psalm 30:5

GOOD MORNING BELOVEDS💕🌞💕

PRAYER POINT:

Thank You Father for our JOY in this month! We know Joy is coming and we receive it in Jesus Name🙏🏾

*August is the 8th month on the Gregorian calendar.

*The number 8 biblically represents new beginnings.

Today beloved, I want to encourage some, remind some, enlighten some, and assure others that you have all the power, strength and provision you need for a brand new start!

Be encouraged, enlightened and empowered by Isaiah 32:15-20 this month! This passage wants us to know that:

1. The Peace of God ( Jesus, The Word of God) is with us in this new month, this month of new beginnings!

2. The Peace of God will rule and reign in our hearts, minds, bodies, situations, circumstances and in everything connected to and concerning us this month!

*According to The Word of God, in the month of August beloveds, The Spirit of God will be poured out on us from heaven.

*The wilderness[ the dry, desolate, unfruitful, barren, infertile, a place once occupied but now lying waste, the lonely and rejected, ignored and overlooked] WILL become a fertile[ productive, fruitful, yielding, flowering, rich] field.

*The fertile[ fruitful, producing, rich] field with produce bountiful[ rich, good, plentiful] crops.

*Justice [that which is right] will rule [ have power, dominate] in the wilderness and righteousness [ being and doing right- obedience to God will be the rule- most practice ] in the fertile field.

August will be the month where will see the manifested goodness and faithfulness of God!

In August hope again, believe again!

EXPECT God in this month: expect God to be who He says He is and expect Him to do what He says He will do!!!

Let us pray🙏🏾

Father in the mighty, precious and faithful Name of Jesus, thank You for Your Word to us. We thank You for the hope that we have in You: a hope that will not put us to shame, bring shame or disappoint!

We thank You for the peace that we have because we will believe Your Word.

Holy Spirit we ask that You help us to keep our hope in God our Father and His Word alive! Let our faith and hope in God completely drown our fears.

We are expecting You Father to do exceedingly, abundantly above all we can ask, think or even imagine this month!

Thank You for Your Peace! Thank You for Your Promise!

In Jesus Name we pray! Amen🙏🏾

In this 7th month, with 7 being the number of completion and rest, I encourage us to rest in God, rest in His Word, rest in His Promises.

In Genesis chapter 2, God rested on the 7th day. He didn’t rest because He was tired. He rested because His work was completed.

God blessed the 7th day and sanctified(set it apart) unto Himself.

In this new month of July, I encourage us to consecrate ourselves, this month is blessed!

Many of us are tired physically, mentally, emotionally and maybe even spiritually. In this month I encourage us to rest, cease from doing, simply take this month to slow down, take a break and relax.

In rest comes revelation!

In rest comes clarity, answers and solutions to problems!

In rest comes instructions and guidance!

In rest comes divine inspiration!

REST IN GOD this month beloveds of God. All things are working for our good according to Romans 8:28! Be still!

When we work God rests, when we rest God works!

Happy New restful month! Watch God work as we rest in Him in Jesus Name💕🙏🏾🔥🩸

Welcome to the month of June - let us declare this month as a month of reset and Soul Care focus!

I got this inspiration from Cathy Baker’s June Newsletter, I give her credit for this post.

 There's something refreshing about a reset, isn't there? 

 Replacing a not-so-good habit with a good one.

Returning to a favorite hobby or creating a new one.

Pausing on a busy day to step outside and enjoy God's creation.

Reconciling with a loved one or friend. 

 Even the smallest of resets can bring refreshment to the soul.

 As summer begins, I feel a tug to press the reset button in a couple of areas of my life, and perhaps you feel it, too. If you'd like to share yours, I'd love to hear from you, and I'll share mine, too.

 May our June resets bring refreshment to the parched places within and bring much glory to God. 

 Amen and Amen!!!

 Let us pray

Father God,

You make a way when 

there seems to be no way,

when a reset seems out of reach,

when we don't know where to begin. 

But Your love leads the way!

Help us follow well. 

Amen. 

"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.

See, I am doing a new thing! 

Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? 

I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. 

Isaiah 43:18-19

How are you feeling today? Are you feeling loved? Valued? Wanted? Worthy? Accepted? Special? Do you feel good enough? If the answer to these questions, is simply “NO, I do not feel like any of the above, in fact I feel the opposite” then this is a word of encouragement for you.

No matter what space, place or situation you find yourself in at this moment: whether it is by accident, by your own deliberate doing, due to ignorance, pride or disobedience, whether it is at the hands of someone else, DO NOT despair, hope and a word of encouragement is here:)

ALWAYS REMEMBER:

*Jesus loves you always-all the time-no matter what you do or do not do-you are loved unconditionally!

*When you are at your”best” and at your “absolute worst” Jesus still loves you!

*Jesus loves you, just because! That is how special and valuable you are to Him!

*When others love you when it is convenient for them-Jesus loves you all the time!

*You do not have to do anything for Jesus to love you-He just loves you!

*You do not have to chase Him down to love you- He chases you down because He just loves you!

*You do not have to beg or buy His love-He just loves you!

Because God your Father loves you so much- He has people already chosen to love you the way He loves you!

Just accept, believe and receive The Love of God today beloved- allow Him to send, bring, align you with the ones He has chosen to love you purely, without any hidden, selfish, evil agenda!

You are already loved!

You are already chosen!

Amen??? 🙏🏾🙌🏾😇Yes Amen!!! 🙏🏾

Thank You for loving us Father🙌🏾

Just a gentle reminder to look forward to the days ahead with hope, knowing that better days are ahead, and that tough times do not last forever!

“For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may endure for a night, But a shout of joy comes in the morning.

Psalms‬ ‭30‬:‭5‬ ‭AMP‬

“‘The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former,’ says the Lord of hosts, ‘and in this place I shall give [the ultimate] peace and prosperity,’ declares the Lord of hosts.””

‭‭Haggai‬ ‭2‬:‭9‬ ‭AMP‬‬

Spring is a time and season of hope! It is the season where we see things that appear to be dead come back to life.

*we see leaves begin to grow on trees.

*flowers begin to bloom🌷🌷💐

*the days are getting longer and we see sunlight for longer🌞

*the weather is getting warmer.

These are all signs and times that improve our mood.

As sure as Spring comes after Winter , so are brighter days on the horizon. This is the hope we have that challenging times do not last forever!

There is a time and a season for everything (Ecclesiastes 3:1) and we know that God has good plans for us and a future full of hope(Jeremiah 29:11)

Yay!!! I pray that you are encouraged and look forward to this New Month with renewed, restored and new found hope🔥🙌🏾🙏🏾

I enjoy watching the sunrise each day. Every day before I begin my work day, I like to head to the 10th floor to catch the sunrise.

Each sunrise gives me hope! Watching the sun rise is so peaceful, calming and beautiful!!

What I have observed from the year of doing this, is that, I have not seen any two sunrises that have been the same. This gives me hope that each day is unique in itself. No two days are exactly the same.

One thing that really struck me this morning is that a cloudy day was predicted. Cloudy days are not really glorified. Many will complain and ask where is the sun? Many of us live for sunny days filled with blue skies and not many clouds.

But this morning as I watched the sunrise and saw the many clouds , I also observed how beautiful the sky was. It was lit up with colours of hot pink and orange and the colours were more amplified. The picture below really did not capture the full beauty of this morning’s sunrise.

I was in awe and that was when Holy Spirit whispered to me, that there is beauty in each day, even on cloudy days. Cloudy days could be identified as days when things, situations and condition and not perfect and going as we planned or imagined.

But loving Father God reminds us and gives us such hope in a sunrise, that there is beauty in every single day.

In fact according to this sunrise, God’s beauty and glory and goodness is on display most on the cloudiest of days!

I just want to encourage someone today, to embrace, look for and see the beauty in every day, no matter what!

Peace, Love, Grace and Blessings to you💕

After Winter comes Spring! Do not lose heart or lose hope!
