”Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you” – Numbers 14:28
Father, we bless and worship your name for all your goodness and mercies towards us. Thank You so much for being there always for us. Thank You so much because we know your plans for us that they are plans of good and not of evil, to give us an expected end and a future in Jesus name we have prayed Amen. Please Lord, let your word make a lasting impact on us in Jesus name. Amen.
Many a time we feel like speaking out exactly the way we are feeling at the moment but the truth of the matter is that we need to always practice the act of silence because silence is golden. It may not be that easy to be silent when you feel like speaking out due to the circumstances that surround you. But it is our duty to speak constructively and not destructively.
Speak what you want to see yourself becoming in the nearest future and not what you are facing right now. Like one of my fathers in the Lord said that there is no glory without battle. To become a champion is not by a mere wish. It takes tenacity, determination, hard work and unwavering believe in oneself.
For instance, my bank account may be discouraging now but that should not make me to begin to say that I am poor or wretched. That I don’t have now does not mean I will not have tomorrow. Like another daddy and pastor of mine normally say: ‘ I don’t have today does not mean I will not have tomorrow, I beg you for help today does not mean I will beg for help tomorrow’. He so much believe that things will be fine tomorrow and truly things will be.
That you’ve been married for some time now without a child does not mean you are barren. Never you call yourself what God did not call you. God himself said in Deuteronomy 7:14, ” Thou shall be blessed above all the people. There shall not be male or female barren among you or among your cattles”. Please and please say to yourself: I am fruitful, I am the mother or father of many godly and glorious children.
Are you a job seeker? Don’t tell yourself: I am not intelligent, I do not know any one, I didn’t come out with good grades, I look frustrated etc. Don’t conclude on yourself. Good things are on the way. You just need to keep keeping on believing that things will eventually work out for your good. ” A man’s belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof” – Proverbs 18:20-21.
Are you planning to start your own business or career and things seem not to favor you now, don’t worry, just continue to do the needful and things will eventually fall in to the desired place for you. You and I will laugh last by the grace of God.
I, Ruth David Abayomi( Nee Olaleru), love you so much. But remember, God loves you more.
Enjoy!
