Frens...God is moving...can u hear the sound of revival???

The starting of Revival

When revival is about to break out, there are usually birth pangs that accompany it. This could be a burden that God has placed in your spirit. He has certainly placed a burden in mine- one that compels me to seek Him with a pure heart. Only when we start interceding for our schools...can we see the Power of God moving across the students, and even the teachers, population. Hence, let us start uniting in prayer for those we love and hold dear. &..we can be sure that God will be faithful to do His part!

Listen to those put in authority above you

Sometimes, when these birth pangs begin...we can become a little disillusioned by people who do not share our vision...or those, out of a good heart, try to correct our way of going about our "revival movements". We may not like it...but God have placed these people, who are in authority, to guide us and shepherd us. Just to encourage you with a verse- for those going thru this season: "My son, do not despise the Lord's discipline and do not resent his rebuke, because the Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in." Proverbs 3.11

Lastly..keep praying...and know that God's will will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Amen.

Hi frens

God wants to prosper your life...no matter whether it is in the area of wealth, knowledge, wisdom, creativity, health, or even the revelation of His word. He wants you to overflow in all you do...and all you are...I believe that for many people...there's a particular lack in your life. Don't lose heart..but instead...continue to seek God and ask for His grace to fill your life abundantly. I don't deny that lacking something (especially health) is painful...but I do believe in a God who is able to do "exceedingly, abundantly above all that we could ask or think". He is able.

Living in overflow means that though you may lack something...but your mindset and your heart are one that has an oveflowing and abundant spirit...that is still full of reserves and potential towards what God can accomplish in your lives. You are not focused on what you lack...but on the God who can provide for that lack.

Frens...I would just like to encourage you that God desires to fill your life to overflowing...no matter in what you do. So...never look down on an area of your life which seems to make little impact for God..cos' He is able.

Reuben Morgan pens such beautiful lyrics:

I love you more than life
I love you more than life

frens, there's nothing more pleasing to God than just carrying that sweet love for him in your heart and life. After Jesus had resurrected, he came to Peter (who had denied him three times just before his death). Hear the words of Jesus:

Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?

Jesus did not start lecturing Peter about do's and don'ts. All he did was ask- do you love me? Is your heart still beating for me? Am I to you...still- Christ...the Son of the living God?

That was all Jesus was asking. Only after Peter answered- Yes, Lord did Jesus reply- feed my sheeps. Many a times, we come to Jesus- expecting Him to commission us for His work and into His will...but the words may just be a question: Do you love me?

Many times, we say to ourselves, "It is difficult to release this situation to the Lord." If we say that, we do not know God's heart enough, causing distrust to be planted in us. Christ gave up His all, even taking up the cross and finally- dying on it. Why? It was all for us...so that we can enter His salvation and renew communion with Him. The bible says that, "with Christ...freely gives us all good things to enjoy," when speaking about the Father God. He gave his "only begotten son"...do u not think that His Love and His everlasting kindness will not see us through any situation, whether to our advantage or disadvantage...if only we will surrender whatever circumstance we are in- and let Him prove to you that He is the faithful God he claims to be.

Hi guys...

I sense that God is drawing me back to the heart of obedience...and I hope that by sharing with you what's on my heart, I will draw you closer to what's on His heart.

Obedience is sacrifice over preference. Many a times, I insists on my way instead of "giving & taking"...where both persons will benefit. This, the Lord calls "self-centeredness". It is looking inward at oneself and not making the effort to benefit others. The latter is sacrifice. Sacrifice is not always easy...it comes with a price tag- u must give up your rights if you want to sacrifice. Jesus, although He is the Son of God, came from heaven to our earth...not caring about his god-ship but choosing instead to live with ordinary men...helping them...and at last even going to the cross to pay the debt that we could not pay. Was there a choice for Him to say "no"? Of course, there was. But sacrifice is putting others before you, and laying every right you have down at Christ' feet.

Lord...I pray that you teach me what true obedience is...that it is not just words...but it is a lifestyle of putting others first and to consider their needs...to lay down my rights for those whom you have also laid down your rights and even your life...Help me to love them as you do. Change my heart, Oh God.

Have God been real in your lives the past few days?...have you felt his touch on your everything...that circumstances just don’t matter?...because God has put a sense of purpose in you that you will pursue His presence and Live in His will... no matter the cost?..

I pray fervently that God will begin to speak to us, in these last days, where His voice is urgently and desperately needed to bring peace and stability to our world. It is not the external circumstances that we should seek to change...but it is our hearts that need to be touched by His grace and love once again.

As you read about how God deals with injustice and how we- as a chosen Priesthood should react to it, I pray that God will meet with you in a powerful way and that His anointing will pierce through your circumstances...no matter how dull they may seem...

Psalms 12: 6-7

“The word of the Lord are pure words, Like silver tried in a furnace of the earth, Purified seven times. You shall keep them, O Lord; You shall preserve them from this generation forever.”

In this psalm, David was crying out to God for the injustice done in his time- “Help!” David cries... “For the godly man ceases”... Has there come a time in our lives where we have felt that there seemed to be no one out there that is godly or God-fearing?

I definitely have. Sometimes, it drives me to frustration there is no voice of justice that is rising up. Evil men are getting their way and the Christians- who are supposed to live in fear of God instead of speaking up, are joining in with the procession...others hold their head down in fear. Who...will speak for the Lord?

David felt that way too. People were boasting and speaking evil of one another (doesn’t it seem like our generation?), and they were pretentious (double-hearted). Nobody is what they seem- they are deceitful...David says. Worst still, they say “Who is lord over us?”

Then...the Lord answers. “For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy; now I will arise...” Finally...at last...in his great love for those who are suffering under such injustice, he will ARISE.

You may say...can we trust God’s word on this? David trusted...look at what he says- “You shall keep them, oh Lord. You shall preserve them from this generation forever.” He was certain. Why?

Let’s look at the verse before. “The words of the Lord are pure words; like silver tried in a furnace of earth. Purified seven times.” I want you to note that God’s words are like silver, David says, that has gone through flame...so that no impurities are left...except the “100- percent silver” silver...and His words has not even a hint of deceit. Take notice: “seven times”... “Seven” when used in the bible is meant to be the perfect number...thus God’s word is nothing but the truth.

If today, you are facing injustice in your life...take heart, my friend...the word of the Lord never return void.

God He Reigns,

Benedict

Hi frens,

Are we christians who are live our life, led by the spirit of God? Do we seek to hear his voice which beckons us again and again to give our soul, our life, our all to the King of Glory? Or..have we been too busy studying the "signs" of this generation that we have lost our focal point on Jesus?

Recently, the Lord has been setting my heart ablaze...not on doing works for Him (which I still love to do) but on LOVE. Love should be first and foremost in our lives...above our ministry, our hopes and visions for God's kingdom...let there always be a spirit of love.

The bible says in 1 John that "let us walk in love"...for when we learn to center our lives on love, we find that we begin to walk "in step with the Spirit".

Why? God is love. It is that simple. It is not just that a characteristic of God is love...but love is the very essence of His being. "For God so loved the world...that He gave..." It always start with a heart of love...when we love...we are in tune with the heart of God.

"When I survey the wondrous cross" says it so beautifully:

"Love..so amazing..so divine..
Demands my soul, my life, my all.."

In His love,
Ben
